Supervisor Keating updated the board on DEC/EPA drop-in sessions for the NECRA assessment, reported screening statistics and referrals, and said the town will go to market on a $4,675,000 bank anticipation note (adding $1,085,000 new money) to pay for engineering and environmental studies for phase 2.

The board left petition 674 (conversion of 8975 Boston State Road from office to single-family residence) open pending documentation that the property could not be leased or sold as commercial — the applicant, Alex Lax, was asked to provide advertising receipts and MLS/LoopNet proof to meet New York State's four-prong use variance test.

Todd Gallagher of Foxhole Farm Winery requested area and use variances to operate a tavern at 8325 Cole Road. The board flagged missing financial documentation and code-enforcement items (certificate of occupancy, door egress, building changes); Gallagher cited New York State ABC law and said he had submitted 30-day notification materials. The board left the hearing open for further review.
