Planning Board sets June 2 public hearing for Vision Properties’ 343 N. Comrie Ave addition, flags stormwater and DOT review
Summary
Vision Properties proposed a roughly 900 sq. ft. secure-storage addition at 343 N. Comrie Ave with a drive‑thru circulation change; the board raised stormwater, NYS DOT and lighting/security concerns and scheduled a public hearing for June 2, 2026. The board also declared lead agency under SEQRA and directed the clerk to notify involved agencies.
The Johnstown Planning Board scheduled a public hearing for June 2, 2026, on a Vision Properties application to construct an approximately 900-square-foot addition for secure storage and reconfigure site circulation to include a drive-thru at 343 N. Comrie Ave.
Board discussion focused on stormwater management from increased impervious surface, possible involvement by the New York State Department of Transportation because the property is on a State Highway, and placement of lighting and security cameras. The board advised the applicant that engineered, stamped plans and a drainage review are required. The minutes record that Code Enforcement had no issue with the proposed addition or drive-thru but recommended engineered plans; a County Planning Board referral was noted as required because of the State Highway location.
Separately, the Planning Board voted to declare lead agency under SEQRA for the applicable environmental review and directed the City Clerk to notify involved agencies. That motion (recorded in the minutes) passed 5 Ayes, 0 Noes.
Next steps: the applicant must submit engineered, stamped plans and a drainage review; the board’s public hearing is scheduled for June 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.; the county referral and SEQRA lead-agency notifications will be made by the clerk as recorded in the minutes.
