Project Description New use for two tenant modifications
Steven Wrabel of McCullough, Goldberger& Staudt stated that the applicant appeared before
the Zoning Board of Appeals and was granted a variance to allow a reduced number of
parking spaces being spaces for the building. Ms. Hochman explained the rationale of the
Zoning Board's decision.
Mr. Block stated that he had been told the Planning Board had requested a traffic study.
Mr. Engel read into the record the key portion of the required form that he had submitted to
the Town Traffic Committee. He further had stated that Mr. Wasp told him that he had
attended the meeting of the Traffic Committee and that the Committee requested signage at
the two cross walks across Murray and Myrtle near the parking lot.
Mr. Engel stated that all but seven the of the parking spots in the lot had posted signs which
restricted who could park there, none of which related to either applicant, and questioned
where the promised 16 spaces assigned to the two new uses would come from. He also
suggested that, so that parents/caregivers could drop their children at the entrance to the
karate school and then park in the parking lot in the newly assigned spaces, the traffic flow
within the parking lot be reversed. In addition he stated that the person who said he
represented the landlord at the last meeting said that the landlord was willing to re-assign
spaces so that those closest to Madison would be assigned to the two new uses.
Mr. Engel suggested that the 16 dedicated parking spaces be marked and that appropriate
signage be installed. He also informed the applicant that the Town is proposing to make
changes to Madison Avenue.
Ms. Hochman stated that she had conferred with Ms. Aitchison and that they agreed that the
application is exempt from review by the CZMC, because Section 234-2(a) of the Town
Code exempts maintenance or repair involving no substantial changes in an existing structure
or facility.
Mr. Engel proposed to set a public hearing for May 10.
Motion: To set the public hearing for May 10

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Martin Kaplan of 1 Cornell Street stated that he is appearing on behalf of most of his

that the proposed changes will negatively impact the neighborhood and he is concerned
about more golf balls on residential properties. He expressed a concern for safety, especially
regarding children.
Mr. Kaplan further stated that the proposed changes would intensify the use of the club,
with respect to noise, lighting and traffic

Mr. Engel asked whether the neighbors would oppose a barrier to block golf balls.
Representatives of the applicant indicated that they would bear the financial cost of such
barrier, if required.

line and design of the proposed new golf and tennis building.

balls hitting her property, and she feels that the proposed changes would create more danger
because even good golfers can hit errant balls. She emphasized her concerns about safety
but also stated that she would object to the visual impacts of a net/barrier.
