Planning Board Reviews Development Concepts
On June 23, the Planning Board held a public hearing and sketch plan review for a Planned Development District to permit 25 condominiums on a 2.1-acre lot at 25 Aviation Road, currently zoned COR. The board also considered concept acceptance for a 3,500-square-foot Raising Cane’s restaurant with a dual drive-thru, parking, and patio at 107 Wolf Road, and received a concept update for a 175-foot by 240-foot outdoor turf field at 4 NYSUT Drive. No final votes were taken; minutes have not yet been published.
Zoning Board of Appeals Hears Athletic Field Variance Appeal
On July 1, the Zoning Board of Appeals heard an appeal by ABM Industries, on behalf of Siena University, from the Building Department’s denial of a building permit for a synthetic turf athletic field at 515 Loudon Road. The proposal includes a 750-seat grandstand, a 420-square-foot press box, and a 2,880-square-foot support building, all on property in a Single-Family Residential district. The denial cited non-compliance with front-yard structure prohibitions and recreational field standards. The board is considering a variance from the Land Use Law and must make a State Environmental Quality Review determination. Minutes are not yet available.
Coming Up
The Sign Review Board will meet on July 7 with two public hearings. The primary item is an appeal from AJ Sign Company for Mabey’s Self Storage, seeking a variance to allow a 67.48-square-foot wall sign at 344 New Karner Road. The proposed sign’s 35-foot height exceeds the 20-foot maximum allowed. The board will also hold a hearing for a sign permit at 602 Loudon Road (Five Guys), though the agenda provides no further details. At its previous meeting, the board approved a one-square-foot projecting sign for Jetset Pilates at 664 Loudon Road and adjourned a hearing for a Keeler Mini sign at 1111 Troy Schenectady Road.
