Zoning Board of Appeals — July 1
Minutes have not yet been published. The agenda included a public hearing on an appeal by ABM Industries (Siena University) from the Building Department's denial of a building permit for a synthetic turf lacrosse 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.
The property is in a Single-Family Residential district. The Building Department denied the permit for non-compliance with front yard structure prohibitions (Section 190-26(C)(4)) and recreational field standards (Section 190-22(M)(10)). The board was scheduled to consider a variance from the Land Use Law and make a SEQR determination.
Coming up
- **July 7 — Sign Review Board:** Public hearing on an appeal by AJ Sign Company (Mabey's Self Storage) for a 67.48-square-foot wall sign at 344 New Karner Road. The sign was denied because its 35-foot height exceeds the 20-foot maximum. A second hearing is scheduled for a sign permit at 602 Loudon Road (Five Guys); no additional details were provided in the agenda.
