Washington County Planning Agency posts June 30 agenda with GML referrals for warehouses, demolition, zoning changes and kennels
Summary
The Washington County Planning Agency’s June 30 agenda, issued by Clerk Debra R. Prehoda, lists multiple General Municipal Law (GML) Section 239 referrals including a proposed warehouse complex in Fort Ann, demolition at Irving Tissue, village zoning amendments and a 10-dog kennel proposal in Granville.
Debra R. Prehoda, clerk to the Washington County Board of Supervisors, circulated a memo announcing a Washington County Planning Agency meeting on June 30, 2026, to consider General Municipal Law Section 239 referrals from towns and villages across the county.
The agenda lists a referral from the Town of Fort Ann for applicant Gary D. Zervas proposing the AdironDock Warehouse and Office at 11225 State Route 149. The application, flagged for a GML review because it lies within 500 feet of New York State Route 149 and within 500 feet of a farm operation in an agricultural district, describes two 9,000-square-foot metal warehouse buildings and a 1,200-square-foot office to support a dock-building business on a parcel listed in the agenda as "6/43 acre" (approximate area noted in agenda materials).
In Fort Edward, the village has submitted two separate site-plan referrals: SlickFin Brewing (147–149 Broadway) seeks to add a mobile food trailer to its rear beer garden, and Grumbellies (159 Broadway) seeks to install perimeter fencing around its property (both referrals note proximity to NYS Route 4). Also in Fort Edward, Irving Tissue (1 Eddy Street) submitted a referral to demolish the Mill Street Annex (Building 33) on its manufacturing site.
The agenda also lists an application from Taylor and Paige Boucher (171 Broadway) to convert a vacant building into law offices and family daycare space, a Village of Greenwich referral proposing zoning amendments affecting all parcels within the village jurisdiction, and a Town of Granville referral from Nathan and Abby Adams for a two-story animal daycare and boarding facility with kennels for up to 10 dogs at 7587 NY State Route 149 (referrals cite the 500-foot GML review triggers where applicable).
The posted materials provide a link to the county's GML referral documentation and note that the meeting will be livestreamed on the Washington County YouTube channel. The memo is headed "For Information Only – Not a Legal Notice" and records the items proposed for referral review; it does not record any board discussion, staff presentations, formal motions or votes. The agenda closes with a catchall "Other Business" item and adjournment.
Next procedural steps: the agenda indicates the Planning Agency will consider these referrals at the June 30 meeting; the memo does not state any outcomes or final determinations. Members of the public are given the option to view the meeting by livestream via the county's YouTube channel, and referral documentation is available through the county's GML referrals web page.
