Palmyra board authorizes letter to developer to pave 10‑foot alley for Collins Point subdivision
Summary
After hearing from a Collins Point representative, the board voted to authorize Chair Deborah Aton to communicate with the developer and county to arrange paving of a 10‑foot alley through the subdivision, with the developer expected to fund the work within their property.
Palmyra’s town board voted to authorize Chair Deborah Aton to negotiate and communicate with a developer and the county to pave a 10‑foot alley through the Collins Point subdivision.
A representative for the subdivision described approvals at county planning and board of zoning adjustments and said the developer can make the alley 18 feet within property confines or keep a 10‑foot alley. Board members discussed traffic flow, turning areas, and whether the town could require work outside the developer’s property; the consensus favored requiring the developer to pave a continuous 10‑foot strip through the subdivision so future traffic and driveways function.
Tommy Wilson moved to authorize the chair "to engage in any communications necessary with the developer and the county to effectuate that," and the motion was seconded and carried. The board also agreed to provide a letter of support and requested the town attorney or staff finalize the form of the letter.
Members stressed the need for clear documentation about who pays for the paved width and how future similar requests will be handled. Staff will draft the letter and send it to the developer the next morning as requested.
The action is procedural authorization to engage and does not itself authorize road construction beyond the messaging and documentation requested.
