TTM proposes 15,000 sq ft addition at 815 Broadhollow Road; board closes informational hearing

Representatives for TTM Technologies presented an informational site‑plan review to the Town of Babylon Planning Board on Sept. 30 for a 15,000 square‑foot, one‑story addition to an existing industrial building at 815 Broadhollow Road.

Jacqueline Peranto, principal at Key Civil Engineering, told the board the property is 13.58 acres and the proposed addition would include about 10,500 square feet of warehouse space and 4,500 square feet of manufacturing space. She said the area for the proposed addition is currently a grass field with a walking track and that the project includes additional drainage to accommodate new paved areas and the roof, a sewer connection to the on‑site main, and landscaping with additional trees.

Peranto said the applicant has reviewed and accepted the planning department memo dated Sept. 24 and that there is sufficient parking to meet the additional demand. She told the board that the project has received FAA approval and that a copy of that approval was submitted to the planning department. County approvals remain outstanding: Peranto said they are awaiting Suffolk County Department of Public Works approval and that the Suffolk County Health Department will issue its approval once DPW sign‑off is complete.

Board members asked technical questions about truck access and loading. A board member asked whether the truck run exhibit — which shows a box truck using a south‑side loading door — represents the largest vehicle that will access that loading area; Peranto said the exhibit shows a box truck for deliveries and that a separate fire‑code plan addresses access for fire apparatus. On chemical storage, Peranto said existing storage is permitted with the appropriate agencies and that the new building would store only small quantities in containers under five gallons. She also noted there are seven trailers on site used primarily for office furniture; permit filings with the building department will be made to maintain them.

Warren moved to close the informational hearing; Ed Wynn seconded. A voice vote of "Aye" was recorded and the chair closed the informational hearing. The project will return to the board for further action only after required county approvals are obtained and departmental comments are addressed.
