Planning Board schedules hearing and refers Ivan Tech auto‑sales plan to Fulton County Planning Board
Summary
Ivan Tech LLC proposed a used‑car sales operation with limited mechanical services at 107 S. Comrie Avenue; the Planning Board scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 4 and advised referral to the Fulton County Planning Board under General Municipal Law §239‑m because the site fronts a state highway.
The Johnstown Planning Board on July 7 reviewed an application from Ivan Tech LLC for used automobile sales with limited mechanical services at 107 S. Comrie Avenue and scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 4, 2026.
Ivan Tech described a business plan focused on vehicle sales and detailing, with limited services such as oil changes and brake work; the applicant said no body work, welding, spray painting or other heavy repairs are proposed. The applicant also stated that existing structures on the property will be used and that interior improvements will include restroom installation. Staff noted water service will require further coordination because of existing utility access at the site.
Because the property fronts on a state highway, Planning Board members advised the application must be referred to the Fulton County Planning Board pursuant to General Municipal Law §239‑m. The board recorded that a public hearing will be scheduled for Aug. 4 and that final action will be deferred until after receipt of the county’s recommendations and completion of the public hearing. The board determined a SEQR review was not necessary based on the proposed use.
Planning Board member Terri Easterly announced an abstention from any vote on this property due to involvement in the property's real estate transaction; the minutes record the disclosure.
