The Town Board approved two development-related items on its agenda.

580 [redacted] Road: Dominic Turaldi spoke on behalf of the applicant for project 2023-2743, describing plans to demolish an existing building and construct new retail space and fuel pump islands. Dan Young, appearing for the record, confirmed the site-plan amendment reduced the number of fueling islands and that the approval is conditional on engineering sign-off for stormwater and drainage and on receiving a sealed, stamped site plan. The board approved the amended site plan contingent on those engineering sign-offs.

1593 Walden Avenue: The board granted a special-use permit to retrofit a 2,000-square-foot building into a three-bay quick-service oil-change center (project 2024-1924). Council members asked staff about back taxes; Dan Young said handling of back taxes is in the assessor's purview and noted the typical developer practice of contracting to purchase property pending approvals.

Why it matters: Both approvals clear the way for commercial development and potential changes in traffic and land use at the cited addresses. Staff required engineering sign-off and standard permit timelines: if approved, applicants generally have 1 year to pull permits for commercial site plans.

Next steps: Engineering must sign off on stormwater/drainage and the applicants must file sealed site plans and obtain building and plumbing permits within the validation period for commercial site plans.
