Broome County planning: variances appear substantial; recommend materials, screening, and use details
Summary
Broome County Department of Planning and Economic Development told the Binghamton ZBA the requested variances for 30 Larchmont were substantial and recommended the board require complete site materials, landscaping, drainage and vehicle‑use information if granting any variance.
The ZBA read a follow‑up from the Broome County Department of Planning and Economic Development into the record at the July 14 meeting. County reviewers said they "did not identify any significant countywide impacts" contingent on compliance, but described the requested variances as "substantial" (nearly an 88.5% square‑foot increase and roughly a 69% height increase as originally submitted) and urged the ZBA to consider precedent.
The county recommended the applicant provide full materials and before/after renderings, a landscaping and drainage plan, a lighting plan, and "types, condition and use of vehicles to be stored". If the ZBA granted variances, the county suggested consideration of added setbacks, screening, buffering, and architectural treatments as conditions of approval.
