Town of Vienna Planning Board approves 3‑lot subdivision at 8055 Preston Hill Road
Summary
The Planning Board approved SUB2025‑04, a three‑lot subdivision on 16.5 acres at 8055 Preston Hill Road, after an applicant presentation and receipt of 239‑m review comments; the applicant will supply reprinted plats for final signatures.
The Town of Vienna Planning Board approved a three‑lot subdivision for property at 8055 Preston Hill Road during its Nov. 20, 2025 meeting. Chair Orrin MacMurray presided as applicant Marc Christmas presented the final plat showing three lots on a 16.5‑acre parcel with each lot at least 5 acres. The board recorded that Oneida County Planning offered no recommendations and that Oneida County Department of Public Works (DPW) submitted comments relating to potential future driveways.
Mike Piper moved to approve SUB2025‑04; the motion was seconded by Bill Shaughnessy and carried on a poll vote with the five present board members voting Aye. The board asked the applicant to provide reprinted plats with clearer insets and gradient lines; Marc Christmas agreed to supply reprinted copies and the board secretary will coordinate the chairman’s signature on the final plats.
Why it matters: The approval clears the subdivision for recordation once the final, corrected plats are submitted and signed. The DPW comments were noted for future buyers regarding driveway locations; the board did not identify any wetlands or other conditions that would prevent approval with the information on file.
Supporting details: The minutes record that 239‑m referrals were submitted and that the DPW’s comments will be provided to future buyers. No public comments were offered at the brief public hearing recorded in the minutes. The board’s action completes the Planning Board review stage; any future sales of the individual lots will be subject to usual building, driveway and permit reviews.
The Planning Board will expect the reprinted plats and will finalize signatures when they are received.
