Summary

A Penn Yan grocery at 368 Clinton Street seeks to add a commercial kitchen and seating; the Yates County Planning Board determined the largely internal work does not have significant countywide impact under GML 239.

The board reviewed a site plan from applicant Teresa Ortiz Gutierrez to expand an existing grocery at 368 Clinton Street in Penn Yan by adding a commercial kitchen for prepared foods with indoor and outdoor seating. Members noted the proposed work is primarily internal and does not alter the buildings structural integrity.

Steven Fulkerson moved that "under GML 239 the application as presented has no significant countywide impact," a motion seconded by Chandra Gilman and approved with Chair Purdy and Larry Strickland abstaining; the motion passed with 11 votes in favor. Final permitting and code compliance are handled at the village level.
