Mineola trustees approve two retail‑to‑apartment conversions on Jericho Turnpike
Summary
After receiving local determinations from Nassau County Planning Commission, the board approved two applications to convert first‑floor retail space into apartments at 176 and 143 Jericho Turnpike.
The Village of Mineola Board of Trustees voted to approve two applications to convert ground‑floor retail into apartments at 176 Jericho Turnpike and 143 Jericho Turnpike after the Nassau County Planning Commission issued local determinations for both projects.
Village staff reported that the 176 Jericho application — described on the record as the four‑unit storefront conversion adding a second floor of apartments — had been presented to the board previously and was returned from Nassau County with a local determination and is now ready for a vote. Mr. Gibbons summarized the procedural status: “Last month, the board heard an application at 176 Jericho to convert retail space to apartments and to add a second floor of apartments. Today, Nassau County Planning Commission came back with a local determination and the application is now ready for a vote.”
Trustee Clark moved to approve the 176 Jericho application; Trustee Soloski seconded, and the motion passed. The board took a similar action on 143 Jericho Turnpike after staff said the county had rendered a local determination for that application as well. Trustee Casado moved to approve the 143 Jericho application; a deputy mayoral second was recorded and the motion carried.
The transcript records the board’s votes after the county determinations; no additional project conditions, public testimony or detailed site plan changes were discussed on the record during the meeting segment.
