Zone Changes
The owner of Seven Pines professional office park wants to change zoning to modify the plan to offices on the lower level and apartments upstairs. This type of mixed-use development is viewed favorably by the Town Board and the Planning Board but does not fit the Town’s current zoning code. A possible solution is an ‘overlay district’. This idea will be discussed on August 10th.

The Twin Shores developers for the project on the abandoned quarry on North Burdick Street known as the ‘Fietta Property’ want to revise the zone change they were granted in February to include R-5, which allows apartments. The Town Board and the Planning Board are generally supportive of rental apartments to address housing needs in the Town.
This location is ideal as it is close to public transportation, jobs and shopping. The developer will build a sidewalk to connect the housing and commercial area with the Village sidewalk opposite Carrabba’s. The County will install a traffic signal at the intersection,
