Z-02-15 – Lakeview Health Services – 1936 Route 31 – Area Variance – Section 135-85 (Schedule I) – Route 31 setback – Town Engineer Scott Allen explained that the applicant had revised the site plan since their previous submission, moving the building to the north & east to consolidate the parking areas. The required Route 31 setback is 100 ft. from the right-of-way, and the applicant is requesting 73 ft. Board members noted that commercial buildings to the west of this site (old McDonald’s & Parts Plus), were also at less than 100 ft. A motion for a positive referral on this application was made by Greg Whitney, seconded by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; motion carried.

A resident was present and asked for information regarding the Crane application (815 Route 31).
