Pembroke leaves open public hearing for L. Visone six-unit flex-warehouse plan; board seeks stormwater, septic and traffic details
Summary
The Planning Board left open a public hearing and tabled the L. Visone Development LLC application for six flex warehouses on Main Road, asking the applicant to provide a detailed stormwater retention plan, septic location and DOT traffic information; the motion to table to Dec. 17, 2025 passed 7–0.
The Town of Pembroke Planning Board left a public hearing open on Nov. 19 and tabled an application from L. Visone Development LLC to build six flex warehouses on Main Road, citing the need for a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, septic and retention-pond locations, and a traffic review with state agencies.
Chairman David Knupfer opened the hearing at 7:06 p.m. and read the public notice. The board noted that the Genesee County Planning Board recommended approval with modifications, including rebuilding the driveway as a private road to Town specifications with a New York State Thruway Authority work permit, securing DOT traffic comments/permits, and completing a SWPPP and NYS DEC construction stormwater permit.
Doug Feyes, a civil engineer with Carmina Wood Design, and Brianne Frawley, representing L. Visone Development LLC, presented a conceptual site plan for six roughly 25‑foot‑high flex buildings served by a private access road. Frawley said units configured at about 1,500 square feet could house single or multiple tenants and would likely attract contractors, manufacturers and landscapers; the developer plans phased construction (three phases) with fire hydrants installed in phases and a retention pond for stormwater in phase 1.
Board members asked about door locations, outside storage, loading docks and road surfacing. Frawley said door placement depends on tenant needs and there are no loading docks planned, only taller garage doors. Zoning Officer Jim Wolbert noted that certain tenant activities—such as industrial uses, recycling, self‑storage or manufacturing—would require the tenant to return for a Special Use Permit, while some uses like warehousing and contractor yards do not require an additional hearing. A resident voiced concern that retention-pond outflow or blockage could cause flooding; Wolbert said a properly designed retention pond would be intended to prevent flooding.
After discussion the board voted to leave the hearing open and table the agenda item to the Dec. 17, 2025 Planning Board meeting. The motion, made by Chairman Knupfer and seconded by Vice Chairman Joseph Meacham, carried on a roll-call vote of seven AYES and zero NAYS. The board said it expects an updated site plan showing the stormwater retention pond and septic location before reconsideration.
Next steps: the applicant will provide the stormwater and septic details and pursue required permits (NYS DEC stormwater permit, DOT reviews, Thruway Authority work permit); the board will revisit the application on Dec. 17, 2025.
