TOWN OF GLENVILLE
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 9, 2015
7:00 p.m.
1. Approval of the minutes of the October 19, 2015 meeting
2. Jason Berggren for Current Electrical Systems, Inc. Site Plan Review
NYS Route 5 and Washout Road (Final) Public Hearing
The applicant is proposing to establish an electrical contractor office, warehouse and yard for the
storage of equipment and materials on a vacant 4.6-acre parcel on the northeast corner of
Amsterdam Road and Washout Road. The property is zoned “Highway Commercial.”
3. Michael Cellini Modification to Previously-
2575 Johnson Road and Weatherwax Road Approved Site Plan
The applicant is requesting modification of an approved site plan that was issued on August 10, 2015
for a seasonal zip line adventure course. The proposed amendment would increase the designated area
for the adventure course from just under an acre to 3.37 acres.
4. Michael Cellini Minor (2-lot) Subdivision
2575 Johnson Road and Weatherwax Road (Preliminary)
The applicant is seeking minor subdivision approval to divide his property into two lots. One lot
would consist of 7.7 acres, and it would include the existing single-family home. The second lot
would consist of 42.2 acres, and it would contain the adventure course. Both properties are zoned
“Rural Residential and Agricultural.”
5. Backyard Shed Company, Inc. Site Plan Review
658 Saratoga Road (Preliminary)
This application calls for the establishment of a shed and gazebo retail business on the property
formerly occupied by the Creekside Café, which was destroyed by fire in 2014. This proposal
includes establishment of a new building - a carriage house-type structure – that will serve as the
office. Sheds that are for sale would be stored outdoors on the property. As proposed, at a
minimum, a front yard setback area variance would be required, as well as variances for pavement-
free buffers along the front and side yards.
6. Freg Ogle Zoning Map Amendment
651 Saratoga Road Recommendation to the
Town Board
The applicant’s 0.35-acre property at 651 Saratoga Road, which is occupied by the former
Explorer’s Post cabin, is presently split-zoned, with the front 45% being zoned “General Business”
and the rear 55% being zoned “Land Conservation.” The cabin is located within the “Land
Conservation”-zoned portion of the property. The applicant wishes to have the entire property
zoned as “General Business” in order to allow commercial use of the cabin. The “Land Conservation”
zoning district boundary is meant to follow the boundaries of the 100-year floodplain. However,
recent revisions to the Floodplain Maps resulted in a smaller amount of floodplain on this property.
7. Homeland Security & Public Safety Consortium Informal Site Plan Review
Barhydt Road and SEQR Recommendation
to the Town Board
This proposal involves the opening of a multi-use firearms range facility on Town of Glenville
property that was formerly used as a municipal landfill. Approximately 3.5 acres of the 73.4-acre
site would be dedicated to the firing range. The property is located north of Barhydt Road and the
railroad tracks, and east of Wagner Road. The property is zoned “Rural Residential and
Agricultural.”
