Ms. Vakiener stated NYSDOT provided two options; the sidewalk could be behind the wall, or right in front of it. Councilmember Sherman referred to the issue of school buses. Ms. Vakiener confirmed full-sized school buses can navigate the development and would prefer the buses would enter the development for the school children. Councilmember Piekarec asked if the applicant contacted NFTA to discuss if they would add a stop on Clinton Street. Ms. Eicholtz stated NFTA is open to extending their existing route. Councilmember Piekarec encouraged the applicant to pursue this if the project is approved. Councilmember Breidenstein asked for confirmation that a shelter would be constructed for school children if school buses did not enter the property. Ms. Eicholtz stated they prefer to work with the school district and NFTA to enter the site. If this is not achievable, the applicant would be open to the idea, but emphasize safety as the first priority. Ms. Sharkey expressed concern about the wildlife onsite. Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Sherman, to close the public hearing. Ayes: 5 Noes: 0 Abstain: 0 Motion Carried Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Piekarec, to amend the granted use permit for 2544 Clinton Street to construct a single multifamily dwelling. On the question, Councilmember Breidenstein reiterated his concerns about the all-electric component of the proposed project and further, the additional number of units. Councilmember Breidenstein stated he was shocked to learn that funding was not in place and the applicant is purchasing tax credits from brokers, noting he can cite many examples of federal funding not coming to NYS for these types of projects. Another concern is regarding transportation and the applicant's noncommittal of creating a shelter or having conversations with the transportation department. Councilmember Breidenstein stated in his opinion, the all-electric project is premature. Supervisor Dickson stated the Town Board is voting to change the footprint of the building. Councilmember Piekarec stated that overall he likes this plan better than the original and noted the Superintendent did not have concerns regarding the proposed changes. 6
