The board conducted a public hearing regarding an application for an area variance to construct nine storage buildings at 1082 Dix Avenue. Discussions centered on property layout, setbacks, residential zoning buffers, and traffic impact. The board noted concerns regarding setback uniformity, security, and driveway safety. Ultimately, the board voted to table the agenda item and recommended that the Planning Board serve as the Lead Agency for the project, while keeping the public hearing open.

The agenda includes a continuation of a public hearing for an applicant seeking site plan approval to construct nine storage units, totaling approximately 40,555 square feet, at 1082 Dix Avenue in Hudson Falls.

The meeting involved site plan approval discussions for two major applications. The first application concerned the construction of nine storage units at 1082 Dix Avenue, which requires demolition of a current laundromat, installation of new storm management areas, and securing a zoning variance for the front setback. It was noted that DOT approval for the curb-cut and review by the Town's engineer are pending. The second application involved site plan approval for the expansion and renovation of the existing golf clubhouse at Richwood Golf Club, including a 2,500 square foot addition. Neighbor concerns regarding building height, outdoor lighting, and existing parking lot lighting were addressed, with assurances given regarding downward-facing soffit lights and potential light timers. Both projects are subject to further review by the Zoning Board of Appeals and/or the Town's engineer.
