During the Altamont Board of Trustees September meeting, Al Caruso, a Guilderland resident of the senior-living Brandle Meadows condominium complex, came to ask what the village can do about the appliance-damaging manganese in his water supply.
Also during its Sept. 10 meeting, the board was informed about a drive-thru restaurant looking to be built on land surrounding the proposed Western Avenue ATM.
On Sept. 2, Charlie Giglio told Altamont trustees that “I do a lot of driving. And I don’t know if it’s my imagination or not, but I think every road except Brandle Road has been repaved.”
The conditional OK was given to Barth Meadows on Aug. 27, and “constitute[s] approval of the proposed subdivision as to the general character and intensity of development,” according to Guilderland Town Planner Kenneth Kovalchik’s board memo.
This marks the fourth attempt since 2019 that developers have attempted to gain approval from the town to build multiple apartment buildings on the 16-acre Carman Road site.
During the Aug. 19 town board meeting, Supervisor Peter Barber said the board had “the goal of adopting the comp plan at a meeting in October.” He also said that residents would have another chance to comment on the proposed plan, at the board’s September meeting.
Black Creek Run, which has been in development in one iteration or another for a decade and a half, is now envisioned as a 46-unit Country Hamlet: eight twin townhouses, 24 single-family homes, and 14 senior apartments.
