Members on July 24 walked through changes made to the draft plan that was first presented to the committee in March.

On Aug. 7, the Guilderland Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a public hearing on a proposal from Kent Hansen to turn the former Peter Young Center at 1180 Berne-Altamont Road into the Inns of Altamont.  

At a public hearing on Supervisor Matthew Kryzak’s proposal to eliminate the town’s planning board and hand its duties over to the zoning board of appeals, more than two dozen residents showed up to beg the board to turn it down. 

The legal decision is the fifth in four years to uphold the town’s approval process of what was initially a three-site development proposal from Pyramid for over 200 apartments and townhomes; a 160,000-square-foot warehouse-price club; and only recently, a $55 million 120,000-square-foot regional cancer center. 

During his presentation, Foundry Square engineer Daniel Hershberg explained to the Guilderland Planning Board the process of decontaminating the brownfield site.

The Guilderland Town Board on May 7 voted unanimously to accept Guilderland Village LLC’s application for a proposed Planned Unit Development on 13 acres of land spread across five separate tax parcels between 2298 and 2314 Western Ave.

The delay, Supervisor Peter Barber said at the board’s meeting on Tuesday, is because the Albany County Planning Board said notification of the moratorium must be sent to neighboring municipalities according to General Municipal Law.

The 50-unit project was first proposed as 72 apartments, which forced the town to make changes to its zoning law. The new town law allows only 40 total units in the hamlet.
