County planning board flags positive countywide impact for Crosby’s convenience store and gas station plan
Summary
The board reviewed a site-plan referral to redevelop the former Rite Aid site into a Crosby's convenience store and gas station, noting an 11,000 sq ft existing building, four fuel pumps with in-ground tanks, and three access points; the board found a positive countywide impact.
The Yates County Planning Board considered application 2026‑37 from applicant John T. Pastore (Reid Petroleum, LLC) to redevelop 134–138 Elm Street in Penn Yan (the former Rite Aid site) into a Crosby's convenience store with fuel pumps and canopy. The transcript records that the existing building is 11,000 sq ft, that part of the building will be retained while other sections are demolished and rebuilt, and that the project includes in‑ground fuel tanks and four pumps with three entrances/exits on Elm, Liberty and Wagener streets.
Board member David Adam moved that, under GML 239, the application as presented has a positive countywide impact; Steven Hullings seconded and the motion passed with Larry Strickland abstaining. The board's finding does not itself authorize construction; permits and local approvals remain required.
