Applicant seeks to convert 29 Fennell Street into 1,825 sq ft liquor store; Planning Board schedules March hearing
Summary
The Village of Skaneateles Planning Board reviewed Francis Lombardi’s application to change the main-floor use at 29 Fennell Street to a 1,825-square-foot liquor store. The Board received a Municipal Board recommendation of “No Significant Impact” and voted 4-0 to schedule a public hearing in March.
The Village of Skaneateles Planning Board took up a Critical Impact Permit application by Francis Lombardi on Feb. 5 to change the main-floor office at 29 Fennell Street from C-2 Commercial Services to a 1,825-square-foot C-22 retail liquor store, to be called The Cork Wine & Spirits. Chairman Stephen Hartnett called the matter at 7:10 p.m.
The Board heard a presentation from Bob Eggleston and applicant Francis Lombardi, who showed proposed signage for the building façade and answered questions about deliveries, trash handling, accessibility, and hours of operation. The Board also asked why the parcel contains three curb cuts rather than a single ingress and egress, noting that the village sidewalk crosses the front of the property and that the existing curb configuration could pose a pedestrian-safety concern. The transcript records: "Chairman Hartnett called the matter of The Cork Wine & Spirits at 7:10 pm." and "On a motion from Chairman Hartnett, seconded by Member Komanecky, the Board directed the Clerk to the Boards to schedule the required public hearing at the March meeting."
Board members noted receipt of the Municipal Board’s Critical Impact recommendation of “No Significant Impact.” On a motion by Chairman Hartnett, seconded by Member Melissa Komanecky, the Board unanimously directed the clerk to schedule the required public hearing at the March meeting; the vote was 4-0. The meeting concluded at 7:42 p.m.
The next procedural step is the public hearing at the March Planning Board meeting, where the Board will accept public comment and make a formal determination on the Critical Impact Permit application.
