Summary

The board approved acceptance of minutes, designated the Chiles ADU application a Type II action and scheduled a June 10 hearing, accepted the Owls Nest submission as a sketch plan (motion passed with two no votes and an abstention), and moved to treat the Verizon wireless proposal as an unlisted SEQRA action and transmit a resolution to the ZBA.

Key board actions at the May 13 meeting:

1) Minutes: The board moved to accept the minutes of the previous meeting; the motion passed by voice vote.

2) Jessica Chiles ADU: Motion to designate the ADU application as a Type II SEQRA action and to set a public hearing for June 10 at 6:45 p.m. — motion passed; staff to mail notice and applicant to provide reminder materials for the meeting.

3) Owls Nest sketch plan: The board voted to accept the submission as a sketch plan and to consider it limited in scope for now. Roll‑call responses recorded several yes votes, two no votes and one abstention; the board asked applicants to obtain licensed septic verification and to coordinate cross‑county drainage and historic‑resource issues prior to final approval.

4) Verizon Wireless: The board moved to consider the Verizon small wireless facility an unlisted SEQRA action, transmit the draft resolution/notice to the ZBA and CBA, and expect the ZBA's consent prior to further planning‑board environmental action. The board will revisit the application after ZBA response.

5) Adjournment: The board moved to adjourn; motion carried.

These actions were procedural and set the calendar for public hearings and follow‑up technical work rather than final permitting.
