Webster meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Webster Boards Take Up Moratorium Waiver, SRO Contract, Lot Line Changes in July Meetings

Webster's town boards convened multiple times in early-to-mid July, with agendas covering a commercial expansion waiver, a school resource officer contract, zoning variances, and several site plan reviews. Because meeting minutes have not yet been published for any of these sessions, outcomes — including votes and approvals — cannot be confirmed from the available records. What follows is based on the published agendas only.

Town Board: Hardship Waiver, SRO Contract, Assessment MOU

The Webster Town Board met July 16, 2026, with several action items on the agenda. The board was scheduled to vote on a hardship waiver from Local Law #2, the temporary development moratorium, for an existing commercial business expansion at 764 Ridge Road (tax ID #079.17-1-8.1).

Also listed for action: a resolution authorizing the Supervisor to sign the 2026-2027 School Resource Officer (SRO) contract, and a resolution for the Supervisor to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS) for the 2027 town-wide assessment revaluation.

The board was also scheduled to set a public hearing for August 3, 2026, on Local Law #3, which addresses vehicle and traffic regulations. Routine approval of bills, prepaid warrant, and purchase orders as submitted by the Director of Finance rounded out the agenda.

A separate Town Board workshop the same day included presentations on the Tree City USA Program and Local Law #3 (Vehicle and Traffic Regulations), plus a discussion on a proposed disability signage request from the Town Engineer.

Planning Board: Lot Line Adjustments, Coffee Stand, Sign Approvals

The Planning Board's July 7, 2026, agenda included a public hearing and six scheduled matters. The most significant land-use item was the Bay-Ridge Corner Resubdivision: a final site plan for lot line adjustments consolidating five single-family lots into four at 423, 425, and 429 Ridge Road and 1036 and 1036A Bay Road.

Other items included final site plan approval for a 510-square-foot prefabricated double drive-through 7-Brew coffee stand on Hard Road, and a preliminary/final site plan for a 615-square-foot accessory structure at 1052 Lake Road.

The board was also scheduled to consider sign approvals — a 60-square-foot internally illuminated wall sign for Invio at 855 Publishers Parkway — and a one-year extension for the Sienna Reserve subdivision's final site plan and subdivision of 10 single-family lots on Orchard Road. Approval of the June 2 meeting minutes was also on the agenda.

Zoning Board: Variances and Solar Farm Interpretation

The Zoning Board of Appeals met July 14, 2026, to hear three area variance requests: a 1,080-square-foot home addition at 1249 Millcreek Run, a 6-foot privacy fence at 1084 Bright Stream Way, and a 200-square-foot shed at 785 Somerdale Drive.

The board was also scheduled to review a zoning interpretation regarding the Xerox Solar Farm permit type, and to approve minutes from the June 9 meeting.

What Residents Should Know

The 2027 town-wide assessment revaluation process, if the MOU is approved, would affect how all Webster properties are valued for tax purposes. The hardship waiver decision at 764 Ridge Road determines whether one business can proceed with expansion despite the town's temporary development moratorium. The SRO contract governs the placement of school resource officers for the upcoming school year. Lot line adjustments at Ridge and Bay Roads would change property boundaries for affected homeowners.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the next 14 days. Residents should check the town website for scheduling updates, as the August 3 public hearing on Local Law #3 (Vehicle and Traffic Regulations) was on the Town Board's agenda to be scheduled.

Note: All items above reflect published agendas only. Final outcomes, vote tallies, and any amendments will be confirmed when meeting minutes are released.

Webster Town Board approves Verizon cell tower review, grant applications; Planning Board weighs lot changes

The Webster Town Board approved an independent third-party review of two proposed Verizon cell towers at its July 2 meeting, with costs reimbursed by Verizon. The board also authorized two grant applications totaling up to $160,000 in requested funding.

Town Board actions July 2

The board approved a resolution authorizing a contract with William P. Johnson, RF Engineering Consultant, to conduct an independent review of two proposed Verizon cell towers. Verizon will reimburse the town for the cost of that review.

The board approved two grant applications: a Monroe County Community Climate Action Fund Pilot Program grant of $10,000, and a NYS DOS Smart Growth Community Planning Program grant of $150,000, which requires a 25% local match.

Other approved items included:

• A fill permit for 430 Pellet Road.
• A resolution to cease all payments related to the RNG project for expenditures not yet incurred.
• A reclassification of one part-time Laborer position to one part-time Cleaner position at Parks and Recreation.

A resolution to sign the School Resource Officer contract for the 2026-2027 school year was rescheduled to July 16, 2026.

The July 2 agenda also listed discussion items, including a presentation on the dog kennel by Chief Dennis Kohlmeier and Barbara Hollands, a disability signage request discussed with Town Engineer Keith Mortimer, and a presentation on the Monroe County Climate Action Fund grant application by Maria Dewar. No votes were scheduled on those items.

Minutes for the July 2 meeting have not yet been published, so final vote tallies are not available.
