Scott said the damaged portion was removed for safety, leaving an open wall that she has temporarily covered; she described broken windows and water damage and told the board the cost to fully reconstruct the removed unit would exceed available insurance coverage. “I would like to side the rest of the house in vinyl siding,” Scott said, and she asked to match white double‑5 vinyl to existing sections where feasible.

Board members agreed the siding and door are appropriate to restore the property and asked Scott to coordinate final permits and code requirements with city codes staff.

Alan Heard, director of facilities for Rome Health, told the board the hospital is expanding its intensive‑care and operating‑room capacity and needs more parking to serve patients and staff. “We’re building our new ICU and ORs,” Heard said, describing increased demand and daytime parking shortages.

Nathan Lapp of Keplinger Freeman Associates presented the site design, which reconfigures existing parking and removes several trees along Black River Boulevard to create new bays. He said stormwater from the new pavement will be routed to dry wells for infiltration and then piped to the municipal system as overflow; “we’re directing it to dry wells,” Lapp said. The design includes new sidewalks and marked pedestrian crossings to channel foot traffic from the lot to the hospital entrance.

Planning staff reviewed the application and told the board the project constitutes a Type II action under the city’s SEQR practice because it does not expand floor area beyond thresholds, does not change zoning and is not a telecommunications facility; staff recommended approval. The board approved the site plan by voice vote; members asked the applicant to coordinate final stormwater details and signage with city engineering and public works.

The applicant indicated additional landscape islands and plantings will be installed to meet the zoning code’s landscaping rules, and staff recommended an alternate landscape plan under the code given demonstrated on‑site parking needs. The project will proceed to permit review with final engineering and coordination on signage for pedestrian crossings.","The planning board approved a site plan to add about 70 parking spaces and pedestrian improvements at Rome Health (1500 North James Street); project will use dry wells for stormwater infiltration and connect overflow to the municipal system.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6386739,"Planning board approves preliminary plat for 19‑lot Ironwood subdivision with construction‑plan condition",2947,444000,3391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2117637-0a3b2f73cbb12432ee7ac53d8dffbbee&start=444&end=3391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2117637-0a3b2f73cbb12432ee7ac53d8dffbbee/thumbnail_444000.jpg","/articles/6386739/Rome/Oneida-County/New-York/Planning-board-approves-preliminary-plat-for-19lot-Ironwood-subdivision-with-constructionplan-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6386739-b944c5fecbff317c232f49f6fafecac0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771036543&Signature=OE95fsbNNbtXO8oWi9pT5adyCsE7DSB8WN7PFY~L~uUp9f4SCtCzzhR5zxaSdT-cRKiImaRHF4VsrP-yBsc9QYd-ewCt6VZUlBZFF-VVgIDek0AGIc7B~HgovA9ERGhRkVFqYcbUPEC-GwU0Qhg-E~qY-kN~yuCIleScSMl-jcKGvHSrCUwhRFLnTAbB0H3nQ5SoioTLaN8pPcMXET2FfO73ogXY3bfST1FEW8Cgsx7~l76T3Kmt7~HPOmcNTcJ1UGO5vDtNW9IbsXCJeKr3kbNHbY2MHazBpH11ma1Z6fZfV61AQW2Im9uEzoLIdLI4LwXdgYIVXrDanNnWOS3t0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rome Planning Board voted to issue a SEQR negative declaration and to approve a preliminary plat for a proposed 19‑lot subdivision at the end of Ironwood Drive, with a condition that the developer submit a detailed construction plan with the final plat application.

The board’s action follows a public hearing in which neighbors raised concerns about stormwater, truck traffic and construction access. Jeff Moore of Moore Land Surveying, representing the applicant Florida Dream Homes, told the board the project is at the top of a hill and “this project is extremely dry,” and that engineered tests in the application show adequate percolation and nine‑foot soil depths. Moore said the site design includes storm basins and that runoff would be contained within the lots and directed away from adjacent homes toward the south and into lot 39.

Residents disputed the site description and objected to using Ironwood Drive as the primary construction entrance. “Who should bear the cost? The developer or the neighbors?” asked Kevin O’Shea, a nearby homeowner, arguing that increased daily vehicle trips, noise and logging activity would change the character of the neighborhood. Robert Pulsi and other residents said alternative access via Forest Lane or adjoining parcels would reduce neighborhood disruption and long‑term impacts.

Councilman Frank Anderson, whose 5th Ward includes the site, said he supports neighbors’ concerns and urged mitigation steps, particularly for stormwater and site preparation. Board and staff discussion noted the subdivision is a permitted use at the proposed density; planning staff advised that the proposed parcels comply with size and density rules and reported no evidence of regulated wetlands or protected natural communities in the application materials.

The board approved the SEQR negative declaration by voice vote and then approved the preliminary plat with the condition that the developer provide a detailed construction plan (including sequencing, construction entrance measures and timing) as part of the final plat submission. The planning staff and speakers said the detailed plan will be reviewed by city engineers and addressed when the applicant returns for final plat approval.

The board also discussed a third‑party engineering review previously requested by the board on a separate site plan matter; staff said a scoping meeting with a proposed review firm is scheduled, and that review is expected to be completed by the next meeting.

The planning board’s approval is conceptual: the preliminary plat grants conceptual site layout approval only. Specific infrastructure design, stormwater engineering and construction details will be required with the final plat and permits.","The planning board issued a SEQR negative declaration and approved a preliminary plat for a 19‑lot subdivision at the end of Ironwood Drive, requiring the applicant to provide a detailed construction plan addressing site access, erosion control and sequencing at final plat.","actionData","errors"]
