Genesee County planners didn’t need any comments from the applicants on their way to recommending approval of four business-related referrals on Thursday night.
At their monthly meeting conducted via Zoom videoconferencing, the planning board looked favorably upon 13 referrals -- with eight of them involving private matters such as home additions, sheds and barns and another being a request by the Oakfield Town Board to rezone 10 parcels on Albion Road from Land Conservation (LC) to Residential & Agricultural (R+A).
As reported on The Batavian earlier this week, the four remaining referrals were a new professional office building in the Town of Alexander, addition at PCORE Electric, Inc., in Le Roy, a community center in the Village of Oakfield and an auto repair/print shop associated with a ministry in Darien.
Planners recommended approval of all four, with the lone modification tacked on to A/C Associates’ application for a special use permit to construct a 92- by 50-foot one-story office building at 11198 Alexander Road. (Route 98).
The modification stipulates that the applicant obtains a driveway permit from the state Department of Transportation for the reconfigured driveway prior to approval by the Alexander Town Planning Board.
The plan is for A/C Associates to occupy part of the space, with additional offices to be made available for leasing.
The three other referrals stamped for approval were as follows:
-
A special use permit request from the owners of PCORE Electric Inc., in Le Roy (on the Lapp Insulator campus) to build a 2,800-square-foot addition and a new 6,700-square-foot asphalt pad. Planners also recommended that the applicant be aware of the vegetative buffer to Oatka Creek when creating the new pad.
-
A site plan review submitted by RWNY Property Group to place a community center (food pantry and farmers’ market) in an existing building at 33 S. Main St. (Route 63).
-
An area variance application from John Kula of Freedom Fellowship LLC, to put up a 3,200-square-foot three-bay auto repair garage and print shop at 254 Broadway Road (Route 20) in Darien.
The public garage will support a faith-based organization for those in recovery from substance use disorders. Work would be limited to light repair, tires, brakes and routine service.
