Planning agency returns Grantham storage‑unit expansion to local board for clarification
Summary
A proposal to add three storage‑building structures at 9470 New York State Route 22 in the Town of Grantham was sent back to the local planning board with requests for clearer unit counts and confirmation of site ingress and surfacing; the agency motion carried.
The Washington County Planning Agency voted to return a Grantham storage‑unit expansion proposal to the Town of Grantham planning board for additional clarification, including the number of storage units and site access details.
The packet identified the applicant for the project as Patrick Chiazza (referred to in the packet as "Abercrombie is Patrick Chiazza") and listed the address as 9470 New York State Route 22. Staff noted the agency had reviewed the plan previously in May 2024 and that the current submission shows three new storage buildings drawn on the site plan; the application did not list an explicit count of individual storage units in each building.
Members asked whether the drawings show additional entrances; staff and members agreed the site appears to have two access points and that the proposed new buildings are aligned with existing buildings. Department of Public Works staff had raised no objection to the existing gravel surface in prior review, and members said the gravel surface was not expected to cause drainage or access issues based on the packet materials.
A motion was made and seconded to return the project as a matter of local concern; the chair called for the vote and the motion carried.
Members requested the Town of Grantham planning board confirm the number of individual units in the new buildings, provide clearer site ownership/representation documentation (the packet lists Kimberly Bascom as owner in part of the materials), and confirm there are no new curb cuts beyond existing access points before local approval.
