Board continues Westin Highway Enterprises site plan pending drainage sign‑off
Summary
Westin Highway Enterprises asked for a continuance to secure drainage approval; the board acted as lead agency but did not advance the application without Colliers Engineering’s drainage sign‑off and other county comments.
A presenter for Westin Highway Enterprises updated the board on a project continued from three years earlier and said the goal was to obtain preliminary approval so the owner can pursue variances at the zoning board. The presenter described demolishing a front house, changing access to an entry‑only south driveway and an in/out north driveway, adding planting areas, and maintaining a net zero change in impervious surface.
The chair read numerous agency comments into the record and noted that the town’s drainage consultant (Colliers Engineering) had not yet approved the drainage plan. Legal counsel and members stressed that drainage review is essential to any SEQRA determination and to the board’s normal process. The applicant asked for a continuance while they coordinate with the drainage reviewer; the board agreed to continue the matter and to act as lead agency in the meantime.
