Board declines zoning change for trailer parking at 201 Charles St.
Summary
An applicant for trailer parking at 201 Charles Street described plans for 25 daily trailers, but trustees raised traffic and noise concerns and indicated they would not change village zoning to permit the use.
An applicant seeking a zoning change to permit trailer parking at 201 Charles St. presented a proposal to the Maybrook Board of Trustees on June 23; trustees indicated they were not interested in amending the zoning code to allow the use.
Engineer Hoffman summarized code considerations and Attorney Naughton cautioned that any new use would require a text amendment rather than spot zoning. Peter Fortier of CPC Logistics described the operation and said, "There would be 25 trailers daily, 24 hours a day, however there will be specific time frames." Trustees and the mayor expressed concerns about truck traffic, safety and noise on village streets. Mayor Leahy told the board he was "not be interested in changing the zoning" after hearing the presentation.
Attorney Naughton noted the board could craft restrictions (size, accessibility, hours) if it chose to permit a new use across the zone rather than creating an exception for a single parcel. After discussion the mayor and trustees indicated they would not pursue a zoning text change; the applicant thanked the board and left the topic without a formal motion to change code.
