Zoning Board of Appeals - Semi-Virtual Meeting

Because of the COVID-19 crisis, the Zoning Board of Appeals will be meeting semi-virtually to review 7 projects and 3 signs. 

Of particular interest are the sign variance for 2027 Western Ave for the new Chase bank, a special use permit for the 2501 & 2505 Western Ave Self Storage Facility (lot of the former Governor's Motor Inn), a building mounted sign for 300 Great Oaks Blvd (office building in the back of Great Oaks Office Park nearest the highway) and a 1525 Western Ave Multi-Tenant Directory (office building directly across Western Ave. from 5 Guys.)   

The members of Zoning Board of Appeals will be meeting at the Town Hall, but members of the public are restricted to viewing the meeting live on Verizon channel 34 and Spectrum channel 1303, on the Town website. Presumably the public will be able dial (518) 579-3721 to participate in a conference call like past semi-virtual meetings of the Town Board and Planning board, but this is not confirmed.
