Town development update: solar farm review, Fairdale Meadows subdivision, $1 million sewer grant pending
Summary
Town Director of Development Ron Brown told the ZBA that a proposed solar farm is in review with no variances expected, preliminary plans for Fairdale Meadows subdivision were signed, and the town is awaiting a response from the Empire State Development Corporation on a $1 million sanitary sewer capacity grant.
Ron Brown, Farmington’s Director of Development, updated the Zoning Board on several active projects. He said a proposed solar farm is progressing through the review process and that no variances are anticipated. Brown also said the town has signed preliminary subdivision plans for Fairdale Meadows and is awaiting a decision from the Empire State Development Corporation on a "million dollar grant" application intended for sanitary sewer capacity improvements previously approved by the county board of supervisors.
Brown’s update signaled routine project progress rather than policy changes; he asked the board to expect related planning-board items at upcoming meetings so the ZBA can act on outstanding area-variance requests if needed.
Next steps: staff will monitor the solar-farm review, track planning-board actions on pending variances, and notify the board when the ESD grant decision arrives.
