Board refers 660 Main Street townhouse proposal to ZBA without recommendation
Summary
The board referred a proposal for a nine-unit townhouse building at 660 Main Street to the Zoning Board of Appeals without comment. The developer proposes the ninth unit as workforce-affordable housing; commissioners chose not to do a coordinated SEQRA review to avoid delaying the ZBA process.
The Planning Board voted to refer a proposal for a new three-story, nine-unit townhouse building at 660 Main Street to the Zoning Board of Appeals without a recommendation. The project requires area variances for maximum units per acre and side-yard setbacks.
The developer said the additional ninth unit would be offered as workforce-affordable housing. Commissioners discussed the option of a coordinated SEQRA review with other agencies but concluded that coordinated review could delay scheduling; the board chose to send the referral without comment so the applicant may proceed with the ZBA process. Staff noted the historic board (HLPB) would also be involved later in design and screening discussions. The referral was made by motion and passed by voice vote.
