Summary

The board approved a modification to permit existing structures at 1855 State Route 819 to encroach into the 40‑foot front yard setback under Section 412(B) of the SALDO. The motion passed 2–1 (Zundel, Trumbetta for; Jobe opposed). Residents and the Planning Commission had procedural concerns.

At the Jan. 15 meeting supervisors approved a modification request from Daniels Excavating allowing existing structures at 1855 State Route 819 to remain in the 40‑foot front yard setback. The Planning Commission had forwarded the request to the Board without a recommendation; the Board approved the modification by majority vote, with Supervisors Bob Zundel and Ken Trumbetta voting in favor and Supervisor Kerry Jobe opposed.

The discussion included procedural objections from residents and Planning Commission members who cautioned against granting modifications before final plan approvals and raised concerns about recording and future liabilities. Supervisor Kerry Jobe had moved to table the item, arguing that additional submissions (NPDES, HOP) could affect the decision, but that motion failed and the modification was approved.
