Mark Howell #2006-2 (s)

2006-2 Esopus Cuisine Restaurant – Proposed Site Plan Supplement

Mark Howell was before the Rosendale Planning Board at their regular meeting on May 3, 2007, during which the board voted to approve Mr. Howell’s site plan application and issued a negative declaration of environmental significance pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The original application before the board included the demolition of an existing structure and a “from-scratch”construction of an approximately 4,077 square foot, two-story restaurant located on-site at 713 Route 32 in Tillson.

Mr. Howell requested a special workshop meeting of the Town of Rosendale Planning Board for the purpose of considering a clarification to Mr. Howell’s approved site plan, specifying that modular construction is acceptable at the proposed project site. Mr. Howell proposes demolishing the existing structure and replacing it with a modular structure

 Mr. Howell’s approved site plan detailed a development footprint of 27,974 square and floor area of 3,320 square feet.

His revised site plan, dated December 18, 2008, has no changes to the footprint or the floor area.

 No changes to site septic, well, stormwater treatment retention, lighting, signage, ingress/egress/curb cuts or parking are proposed with the revised site plan.

 No changes have been proposed for the height of the building.

 The landscaping plan has been insubstantially changed, including the deletion of two bird’s nest pines plants to accommodate for the installation of a fire egress sidewalk.

R ecommended that building façade design standards should remain consistent with those previously approved by the Rosendale Planning Board.

Motion was made by F.Greitzer  that the initial SEQRA Neg Dec still stands for the project as the proposed changes to the project will not result in a significant adverse impact to the environment, seconded by J. McEnrue.
