they ’ d like to see the complex be more compact , and the developer was open to shifting the buildings around on the proposed map to fit the council ’ s wishes . Liebolt also asked the members to send his team photographs of the type of exterior designs that would blend well in the hamlet . Watkins explained that the board would come to a consensus and get back to the developers about what kinds of designs and construction materials the group would be comfortable with .
For the commercial portion of the project , Liebolt noted that the firm would like to attract a bank , laundromat / dry cleaner and a coffee shop to the proposed complex . The latter establishment could possibly feature a drivethrough window if the development is ever realized . “ They ’ re proposing a coffee shop there , but that ’ s still up in the air ,” Watkins said . “ Like a Dunkin ’ Donuts or something like that possibly .” While the company has received a letter from Carolyn Crowell allowing the developers to represent the project in front of the town , the board asked the Professional Commercial Group to obtain a signed letter from Crowell withdrawing the family ’ s original application for the project before the company ’ s new application could move further along .
Earlier in last week ’ s meeting , the board unanimously granted conditional final approval to Leonette Property Management for a proposed five-lot subdivision on 98.9 acres off Grandview Terrace . The developers had previously appeared before the Town Board to obtain approval for a drainage district . The Planning Board also granted an extension until the group ’ s Oct . 3 meeting to Joseph Knoth for the conditional final approval of a 24-lot sectioned partial cluster subdivision that would be situated on 61.3 acres on River Road .
