Corinth planning board grants 9-month waiver for final plat on proposed 16 William Street subdivision

The Village of Corinth Planning Board voted March 30 to grant a one-time, nine-month waiver under Village Code 435-5 for the final plat submission on a proposed three-lot subdivision at 16 William Street, setting the new deadline for Jan. 6, 2027.

Chair Phyllis Morreale moved to grant the waiver, and Jennifer Kietzman seconded the amended motion after discussion. The board approved the amendment with an "All in favor ~ aye" vote. Morreale, Rickey DiLorenzo and Kietzman were recorded as supporting the action.

Applicant Anthony Vaccarielli told the board he had not had a reasonable time to review and respond to a recently clarified checklist from the Code Enforcement Office and asked for additional time to prepare a complete final plat. "We received an Adirondack Park Agency jurisdictional determination and the three-lot subdivision will not require an APA permit or variance," Vaccarielli said, adding that there are no wetlands on the property.

Code Enforcement Officer Neil Hepner reported that the Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed the application and found "No Significant County-wide or Intercommunity Impact." Village Attorney Karla Buettner told the board the request would be handled as a waiver under Village Code 435-5 rather than an extension, which affects the legal basis for changing the submittal deadline.

Buettner also recommended that Hepner arrange a coordination meeting including the applicant, the project manager, the project engineers, the Department of Public Works superintendent and Chief Granger to align outstanding technical requirements before the new deadline.

The board approved the waiver amendment after brief discussion about the appropriate length; an initial motion for a six-month waiver was amended on the floor to nine months following comments from board members and the applicant. No further formal actions were taken. The meeting adjourned at 6:13 p.m.
