Guilderland

As 7,000 soldiers and tanks and Strykers, at a cost of millions of dollars, paraded 1,600 yards down Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. to Donald Trump’s reviewing stand on his birthday, June 14, a score of Guilderland citizens brandished handmade signs at the corner of routes 20 and 155 as passing drivers honked horns in solidarity.

The suit, filed by Moses Ahn of Morgan & Morgan of New York City — which touts itself as “America's Largest Injury Firm” — alleges that Wright was hit by a school bus at the entrance of 113 Krumkill Rd. as he was “riding an e-scooter motor vehicle.”

Since the pandemic, the town planner notes, there has been less demand for office space, and both requests for zoning changes are spurred by the applicants’ need for tenants.

Costco, via project developer Pyramid Management Group, is seeking an area variance for five signs over 250 square feet each when town code allows for two signs with a total area of 50 square feet.

The Guilderland Zoning Board on June 4 approved the special-use permit application of Kent Hansen to turn the former seminary and recovery center at 1180 Berne-Altamont Road into the Inns of Altamont.  

“Dollar General will be occupying one of the tenant spaces in the building,” Guilderland Town Planner Kenneth Kovalchik told Enterprise by email. “In 2024 the ZBA approved a Special Use Permit to convert the building to a Local Shopping Center use.”

Only one citizen spoke at the public hearing and all five board members were uniformly enthusiastic about the project, citing the need for affordable and workforce housing in town.

Jason Kenyon called The Enterprise because of concerns about losing his home but the story he told was about more than that — it was about how two friends on a warm April night got into a fight leading to dire consequences.

Jeff Thomas was told his proposed Altamont village center development would need multiple variances to gain approval, but he appears to be challenging the parking requirement because, as Thomas sees it, the village’s math is incorrect. 

GUILDERLAND — A woman whose car rolled over was charged with drunk driving.

Sandra J. Losavio, 61, of Guilderland, was arrested for driving while intoxicated, according to a release from the Guilderland Police.

Losavio was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and released on an appearance ticket.
