Votes at a glance: Charleston Planning Board actions (May 14, 2025)
Summary
On May 14, 2025 the Planning Board approved the agenda and minutes, granted variances for a 576‑sq‑ft house, a residential solar array, and a 25‑foot church ramp setback, voted on a Vertical Bridge setback motion and unanimously referred research on a telecommunications ordinance to staff.
The Town of Charleston Planning Board took the following recorded actions on May 14, 2025: the agenda (amended to add two variance applications) and the prior meeting minutes were approved unanimously. The board approved a variance for a 576‑square‑foot, one‑bedroom house on a five‑acre lot (motion: Joseph Fitzpatrick; second: Donna Wakefield). The board approved a variance for a residential photovoltaic system for owner Caroline Hanson (motion: Amanda Peterson; second: Andrew Ragozzino). The board approved a 25‑foot setback for a church ramp (motion: Joseph Fitzpatrick; second: Andrew Ragozzino).
On a telecommunications matter, the board voted on a motion to deny a Vertical Bridge variance unless the applicant increased setback from 80 to 100 feet (motion: Joseph Fitzpatrick; second: Andrew Ragozzino) — the minutes note the variance was not needed and the motion was therefore moot. Chair David Wiener moved that the board research a telecommunications law and forward a recommendation to the Town Board; the board approved and assigned Donna Wakefield to conduct the research with Amanda Peterson preparing materials including an application fee.
