A request to subdivide a parcel of land on Moore Street was unanimously approved by the Albion Village Planning Board on Thursday, January 23. The meeting, which lasted just under ten minutes, focused entirely on the application for the property located at Tax Map 62.19-3-40.1. Board Chair Karen Conn called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. with members Michael Massaro, Jeff Holler, and Samuel Robinson present. Chris Kinter, the Village Code Enforcement Officer, and three community members were also in attendance. The board moved quickly through the procedural requirements for the subdivision. A motion to open the public hearing was made by Michael Massaro and seconded by Samuel Robinson. With no public comments raised during the brief window, a motion to close the hearing was immediately passed. Following the public hearing, the board turned its attention to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). The board voted to serve as the "Lead Agency" for the environmental review of the project. This designation means the Planning Board, rather than another county or state agency, will be responsible for assessing the potential environmental impacts of the subdivision. The motion to assume the lead role passed unanimously. With the environmental review designation settled, the board moved immediately to a final vote on the subdivision application itself. Samuel Robinson seconded the motion for approval, which carried with all members in favor. The approval allows the property owner to move forward with dividing the land, though specific site plans or construction details were not detailed in the public minutes. The board also approved the minutes from their previous meeting held on January 9, 2025. The Planning Board will hold its next regular session on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in the Village Board Room. Residents interested in future development proposals are encouraged to attend.
