Summary
Planning staff said DEC supplied comments on Oct. 27 and the applicant provided a SHPO no‑impact letter and wetland documentation; the applicant joined virtually and the board tabled the proposal to the December agenda to await DEC and sewer-discharge information.
The Cheektowaga Planning Board on Nov. 26 tabled consideration of an application at 3419 Broadway proposing three-parcel consolidation for a roughly 53,000-square-foot commercial tire storage facility, after county and state referrals raised outstanding environmental and sewer-discharge questions.
Speaker 2 summarized the application and said New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued comments on Oct. 27 that require additional information. The applicant provided a State Historic Preservation Office letter stating no effect on historic properties and has submitted preliminary wetland work, but additional sewer-discharge details are expected. Mr. Tiller joined the meeting virtually to represent the project and confirmed Buffalo engineering is preparing the sewer service plan.
Board members asked technical questions about the wetland delineation, DEC review timeline and potential impacts on site layout. Speaker 2 moved and the board voted to table the item until the December meeting so staff, DEC and the applicant can provide the outstanding analyses and the planning board recommendation can be finalized.
