Applicant's engineer Jason Pittengero presented a modified parking plan for 'Science of the Soul' that would create about 900 primarily grass parking spaces with stone aisles, shuttle areas and added entrance; the board flagged the need for a floodplain/impervious-surface variance and moved to assume SEQR lead agency and prepare Part 2 of the EAF.

The full story

Jason Pittengero, the applicant's engineer, presented a modified parking and site plan for a project representing Science of the Soul, saying the plan would provide approximately 900 spaces—largely grass-surfaced—with stone aisleways, an added entrance to meet frontage requirements and shuttle staging similar to prior arrangements at Strong Farm. Pittengero said the design aims to limit hard impervious surfaces and that the aisles would remain stone to maintain passability for emergency access.
