Planning board approves several procedural items; FedEx expansion finalized, Donnelly extension granted
Summary
The board approved a two‑90‑day extension for Donnelly PB26‑07, granted final approval for FedEx Phase 2B with conditions (including DEC permit requirement), and handled routine lead‑agency designations for other items.
At the meeting the planning board moved through several routine and procedural agenda items alongside substantive hearings.
Extensions and approvals: the board approved a request for two 90‑day extensions for the Donnelly subdivision (PB26‑07). The FedEx site at 9 Al Foxy Way — previously granted preliminary approval for parking expansion — received final approval with the same prior conditions plus a requirement that any applicable DEC permits be obtained; two board members abstained on that vote.
Other procedural items: the board agreed that the town board could serve as lead agency on a proposed local law to establish a community preservation fund and an associated real estate transfer tax; no objections were raised. The board also confirmed SEQRA lead‑agency and negative declaration intentions on other items discussed during the meeting, subject to the completion of outstanding technical responses.
What’s next: applicants for projects granted conditional approvals must submit required permits and updated plans; staff and applicants will circulate responses to agency comments and schedule returning agenda items as requested.
