Farmingdale reviews downtown permits and upcoming hearings for commercial projects
Summary
Building department reviewed permits for 7‑11 and Sunoco (construction expected in early July), adjourned Verizon’s clock‑tower cell installation hearing, and discussed special use permits and compliance for several Main Street businesses including Pour Authority and a proposed seafood restaurant.
Village staff reviewed a series of downtown development and permitting items during the work session. Minutes state permits have been issued and fees paid for 7‑11 and Sunoco with construction anticipated to begin in early July; Verizon’s attorney requested adjournment of the April 7 public hearing on the clock tower cell installation at the Marquis Shopping Center to June 2. The Pour Authority application for 335 Main Street indicates 114 seats and needs a Special Use Permit; a denial letter was issued for a related application though an interior build‑out permit was issued.
Other items discussed included signage enforcement at a bodega on Conklin Street, a potential seafood restaurant at 193 Main Street (Captain Ihab) which has not yet filed for a special use permit, rebranding at Vintage (185 Main St.) with planning approval and permits issued, and outreach with Dark Horse regarding outdoor dining and rear‑yard cleanup. Board input was requested on permitting tents and related fee structures.
