Planning Board
July 16, 2012

For the details of all agenda items, visit www.ciyinfo.org
 
1. Lake Osceola Realty Corp.
The Board opened and closed a public informational hearing on the proposed 27,000 square foot office building off Hill Boulevard and abutting Lake Osceola. Of concern to area property owners was the level of the lake and flooding issues along the shore of East Main Street properties.

 
2. Sophia’s Pizzeria (Turco’s Shopping Center)
The restaurant has plans to expand into the space vacated by the stationery store. The Board discussed the required number of parking spaces.
 
3. IBM helistop
Representatives of IBM continued to make their case for the helistop and two neighbors raised a series of concerns. The Board will set an August public hearing on the request for a special permit.
 
4. Costco
Representatives explained a change in the site plan that includes a new design and layout for the entrance from  Route 202. The change necessitated moving the gas pumps from one side of the lot to another. The Planning Department anticipates that at its August meeting, the Planning Board may accept the DEIS as complete, at which time it will be made available to the public.

Mr. Lachterman, You wrote "When Councilmen Bianco, Paganelli and Patel decided that theRead More Winery did not have the right to have a public hearing on their wetlands permit, they drew a line in the sand between personal interests and all business, large or small, in Yorktown." The wetland permit was NOT for the Winery. It was town land that we--the taxpayers--own. It's not "their" permit. Do you think that we should give away--for free--any town park/wetland to any business that asks. I'm not against working out an agreement whereby we charge the winery to develop parking and an outdoor cafe seating area on our (Yorktown owned) land. But you can bet your bottom dollar that I would want to codify it with a lease and charge him market rate for it. Capitalism, not communism. Those councilman made the right choice. It looked and smelled like a giveaway to a political ally of the supervisor. The winery had no inherent right to a public hearing on what we, the taxpayer, do with our land.
