P.B. Mtg. #04 P.B. Regular Mtg. #03 April 9, 2026 Page 4 Mr. Oates explained that Delta Sonic used to have an 8 foot fence in this area. They feel they need a 10 foot fence due to overspray, which creates an operational hazard for their employees and potential water spots on customer vehicles. Mr. Heppner confirmed that the new fence is not longer than the prior fence. Mr. Kaczor established that there will be a gate in the fence for emergency egress, and confirmed that they did not realize that they needed a variance for their new fence. Mr. Oates stated that they will have “Trex-style” decking on both sides of the fence, once they are allowed to resume building it. The Applicant agreed to acquire some live and/or artificial plantings on the side facing Southwestern Boulevard to increase curb appeal. Mr. Schechter made a MOTION, seconded by the Chair, to GRANT Approval for a 10 foot high fence, located in the interior of the site, separating the Car Wash tunnel from the Detail Shop tunnel, based on the survey dated March 25, 2026. 1. This is a Type II SEQR Action and, therefore, no SEQR determination is required. 2. This is contingent on the ZBA granting approval. 3. If any issues or complaints arise, the Building Inspector is to submit a report to the Planning Board detailing the complaint. 4. Petitioner will do its best to add planting on the Detail tunnel side.
