Brookhaven planning director sets public hearings for multiple site plans, rezoning, and adopts positive declaration for Perpetual Logistics

The town planning director summarized multiple planning matters and scheduled public hearings or actions on each.

Plazas Holding: staff said the application is a recreation of a prior approval for a 2,100-square-foot office building with 13 parking stalls; the applicant will leave a substantial buffer to adjacent residential areas.

Manorville (29 Silas Woods Road): the applicant asked to increase clearing limits from 36% to 45%; staff said the site is currently cleared at about 40% and that prior similar covenant amendments in the subdivision set clearing limits around 53%, so the request is, by staff account, within precedent. The planning director said the environmental protection department recommends approval.

NH Ross: the director described a property historically contemplated under a prior land use plan and said staff prepared a draft supplemental analysis (described in the record as a draft supplemental "American financial impacts agreement") and solicited comments. The applicant, an established electrical supply company, seeks a change of zone from a mix of A1 and J2 to L1, and submitted a concurrent site plan that would let the company build a new building and move outdoor storage and containers indoors to tidy the operation. The director said restrictions or covenants may be considered if the rezoning does not pass.

Meadows in the Woods: the director said developers purchased a privately owned remnant parcel contiguous to the existing community to expand the existing rental community by about eight new units and 16 garages to provide more resident garage space; staff described vegetative screening along the road and said the remnant was privately owned when the original developments were constructed.

Perpetual Logistics: the director said the board will adopt a positive declaration for Perpetual Logistics (described in the record as being "in YAFN").

Oklahoma Holdings: staff described a 1.2-acre site adjacent to Mud Creek; the applicant intends to dedicate a little more than half an acre to the town and seek a zone change to allow a mixed-use building with ground-floor commercial and apartments above. The director said setting hearings is appropriate and scheduled the items for the board’s public hearing calendar.

Several of the items were described as ready for hearing; the director invited questions from the board.
