Underhill Farms. (See Planning Board February 9, 2026) The Board approved amendments to the plan relating to the relocation of some townhouses and the construction of a building to house irrigation equipment. The resolution also accepted the change, already in place, that reduced the number of pedestrian crosswalks from the required four to only two. The Board noted that still outstanding was its approval of the historic signs that are required as part of its site plan approval resolution. The Heritage Preservation Commission is working on revised signs that will be submitted to the Board for its approval, together with the approval of the applica
380 Downing Drive. (See Planning Board February 9, 2026) The applicant has agreed to construct a new sidewalk along Veterans Road from the existing café/bookstore to just passed the curb at Downing Drive. The plan also includes a walkway from Downing into the parking lot.
Community Nursery School. (See Planning Board, January 12, 2026) The Board advised the applicant to work with the town to get a license agreement that establishes, in writing, what has been the practice over the years regarding the use of the land in front of the building and extending to the road. Once an agreement is in place, the Board can work with the school on the needed signage and striping for the area.
MJM Subdivision/Gomer Street (See Planning Board, December 8, 2025). The applicant is proposing to pay, upfront, the tree removal fee for the trees that will need to be removed to construct the two roads into the site. At issue was how and when the applicant would have to pay the tree removal fee as the individual lots are developed—a process that could take years depending on the market. It was ultimately decided that when each lot is developed and it becomes clear how many trees on the lot will have to be removed, the applicant will need to return to the Board for approval.
Cell Tower. The Board heard a presentation from Homeland Towers (the same presentation that will be made to the Town Board on March 3rd.) The Board’s main concern was the visual impact of the pole and accordingly will send a memo the to the Town Board recommending that it look closely at the issue. There was also a brief discussion as to when an inventory of on-site wildlife should be done.
