Mayor, trustees outline planning and zoning steps for any New Leaf application
Summary
Village leaders emphasized that the developer's presentation was informational; any formal proposal would need planning‑board review, environmental assessment and possibly a zoning variance or change‑of‑use approval, with certified‑mail notifications to adjacent property owners.
Village officials closed the meeting by reminding attendees that the session was informational and that the Village has a defined review process for any developer application. Mayor Salvo and trustees said that if New Leaf files a formal application the project will begin with the building or planning department, require submission of a hazard‑mitigation analysis and environmental assessment, and trigger public hearings and direct notifications to adjacent property owners if variances or zone changes are sought.
Trustees noted that the parcel appears to be within a residential zoning district and that the developer likely would need a change of use or variance; that procedural step would include a planning‑board public hearing and opportunities for neighbors to testify. Officials said the village would post meeting notices and, if the board determines another public meeting is warranted, hold a follow‑up forum to gather additional community input.
