Sodus Point Planning Board Tackles Five Key Property Applications Tonight

8356 Bay Street, Sodus Point, New York, USA - This evening, the Sodus Point Planning Board is slated to meet to discuss a number of important property applications. As detailed by Finger Lakes 1, the session kicks off with a pre-meeting at 6:30 p.m. held via Zoom. The main meeting will then be broadcast from the Village Hall at 8356 Bay Street, while also being accessible from two out-of-state locations: Deerfield Beach, Florida, and Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania.

Residents keen on following along can find public viewing instructions posted on Sodus Point’s official site. This gathering presents a unique opportunity for community engagement, as the public is invited to observe the proceedings closely.

Key Agenda Items

The agenda is packed with a range of items, including several fence reviews and plans for new constructions. Notably, Vivian Dendecker’s proposal at 8403 Wickham Boulevard seeks approval for a living fence designed to grow to 10 feet, in accordance with Village Code 121 and 190-22(g).

Also getting attention is James Gruttaduaria’s request for a final site plan at 8116 Margaretta Road. He aims to establish a 10-by-16-foot shed that will operate as a retail storefront. This proposal complies with Village Code 190-49.

Patrick Tobin is presenting a couple of applications this evening as well. The first involves a final subdivision review to address a boundary line issue by transferring a 3-by-135.2-foot strip of land from 8385 South Shore Road to 8387 South Shore Road. The second application seeks approval for the construction of a sizable single-family home measuring 2,867 square feet at 8387 South Shore Road, both aligning with Village Code 190-49 and 190-50.

Lastly, there will be a fence review concerning David Gitsis at 7308 Route 14. He proposes a four-foot fence, which also adheres to Village Codes 190-22 and 121.

Keeping Residents Informed

The commitment of the Sodus Point Planning Board to transparency is evident, as they continue to invite public involvement at each meeting. Past meetings have seen similar attention to community needs, such as the fence construction proposals by Ryne and Valerie Fanning, who recently sought to build 180 feet of aluminum rail fencing on North Fitzhugh Street.

In addition to the current agenda items, discussions last month included considerations for new residential structures and site plans around Second Street, highlighting ongoing development in the area. Patrick Tobin’s previous proposal to merge properties to resolve boundary line discrepancies underscores the necessity for careful planning and resident involvement in community decisions.

As Sodus Point continues to grow, keeping the public informed and engaged will be crucial in maintaining a cohesive community spirit. Tonight’s meeting will be yet another step in that direction.
