Ms. Connie Wheelock - two lot Minor Subdivision, 3328 Oneida Street, Chadwicks, New York.  Tax Map #349.020-1-39; Zoning: C2 Commercial Retail.  This application required Zoning Board variances which were granted on February 23, 2026.  Michael Arcuri, Esq., and Engineer John Stratton appeared before the Board.

Attorney Arcuri explained what has transpired with this subdivision.  This is a parcel which has been in the family for years.  This property required variances, which were approved at the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting of February 23, 2026.  This now requires subdivision review.  County Planning review was received with no comments.

After a discussion and review of the proposal, motion was made by Board Member James Decker to approve this subdivision as presented; seconded by Board Member Lisa Britt.  All in favor.

Chair Mowat addressed some possible future projects.

There being no further agenda business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 6:00 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Dolores Shaw, Secretary
