Applicant seeks approval for 41‑space parking expansion at 825 Phillips Road; board asks for stormwater, lighting and setback fixes
Summary
Donahoe Management requested permission to add 41 parking stalls at 825 Phillips Road to serve a proposed wholesale electrical tenant. The planning board’s technical reviewers flagged stormwater/watershed compliance, possible sanitary‑sewer easement issues and lighting/illumination exceedances; the public hearing closed with no public speakers and the applicant was asked to revise plans.
Donahoe Management representative Connor Comer presented a plan on July 14 asking the Town of Victor Planning Board to approve an expansion of the parking area at 825 Phillips Road by 41 new spaces to serve a proposed wholesale electrical‑supply tenant.
Comer said the building has been vacant since about 2023 and that the prospective tenant would need additional parking. Board members asked about landscaping and setbacks; Connor said the project does not include new landscaping along Phillips Road because of a narrow frontage and that the design seeks to match neighboring parking patterns.
Town engineer West Petty of LaBella Associates flagged several technical issues: a stormwater design must comply with Irondequoit Creek watershed requirements, the applicant should verify whether a sanitary sewer line adjacent to the site is a town‑owned main (which could require an easement and hold‑harmless agreement), and the lighting plan shows potential exceedances of the town code’s maximum illumination for parking lots. West recommended coordinating illumination contours with the lighting grid and verifying mounting heights.
The chair opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke either in person or online. The board closed the hearing and directed the applicant to address LaBella’s stormwater and lighting comments and to confirm sanitary‑sewer ownership before the board considers a draft resolution at a future meeting. The applicant said he would work with the town engineer and revise the plans.
Next steps: applicant to submit revised plans addressing stormwater, lighting and setback relief considerations; board to review at a subsequent meeting.
