MEDINA – The Orleans County Planning Board on Thursday gave its approval to three projects in the Village of Medina.
The board is recommending the village approve the following three projects:
Medina Memorial Hospital is proposing to demolish a house and put in a new parking lot with 56 spaces at 525 Eagle St., which is across from the main entrance of the hospital on Ohio Street.
The house/parking is located in the R1/Medical Overlay District. The project would also include sidewalk improvements to the hospital’s main entrance.
The new lot would be on a parcel that is .81 acre. The new lot will ease parking pressure in the main lot next to the hospital that planners said it often congested.
Rendering by Alderman Architect: Hart House in Medina is proposing an addition and roof on the courtyard.
Andrew Meier, owner of the Hart House at 113 West Center St., is planning to enclose the outdoor courtyard at the Hart House and add a roof to that site.
The project also includes new cementitious siding with battens, new windows, doors and masonry to complement existing brick.
The Hart House project would cover about 1,500 square feet and 1.5 stories. It will be able to accommodate about 100 people for parties and events.
The courtyard at Hart House is one of eight projects in Medina approved for funding as part of the $4.5 million NY Forward grant in Medina. The state approved the projects last year and the Hart House was awarded $500,000 from the $4.5 million total.
Rendering by Alderman Architect: The Canal Village Farmers’ Market would get a new metal roof and canopies, and other exterior work.
The Orleans Renaissance Group is proposing upgrade to the Canal Village Farmers’ Market at 127 West Center St. This project was approved for $675,000 from the NY Forward grant.
The farmers’ market previously was used by a bank and also a gas station. The building will be expanded and remodeled to allow for year-round use.
The improvements include a new standing seam metal roof, new painted steel structure, glazed overhead doors, cementitious siding, concrete base, windows, aluminum storefront entry doors, metal canopies, complementary brick masonry and new rooftop signs.
