Maybrook planning and
projects underway
By RACHEL COLEMAN
Maybrook village board members
are focused on economic development
efforts this year, and anticipate that their
unanimous votes on two issues last week
will pave the way for new business.
The first was a local law amending the
village’s zoning to increase the amount of
lot coverage permitted in the I-3 District
to 50 percent. This means that the square
footage of the buildings proposed in the
Galaxy project could grow—thereby
increasing the anticipated tax revenue.
The other vote came after a public
hearing on the drafting of a generic
environmental impact statement for the
B-2 zone (the business district including
Main Street). It is expected to create
“shovel ready” sites for developers.
“This will allow the village to set the
table for developers in the B-2 zone,”
said Mayor Dennis Leahy, following the
meeting last week.
The mayor added that the village’s
economic development meetings are
now focusing on the design of the new
municipal parking lot at Main Street,
which will provide needed parking for
new businesses in the B-2 zone.
According to the mayor, two projects
are expected before the village planning
board on May 11 at 7 p.m. at the Maybrook
Senior Center. The first is a bus company
project, while the second is a proposal to
site a cell antenna on the village water
tower. Leahy said if approved, the village
would receive about $2,500 per month for
the leasing of the space, which would go
toward the water district and help with a
possible future well replacement.
Leahy noted that village residents
living in the Country Club Heights area
experienced some water issues for a
short time on April 20 after mechanical
problems struck Well 7. The village
DPW were cleaning sludge from the
pump when the incident occurred and
CodeRed, village website and Facebook
announcements were sent out to residents
explaining the drop in water pressure and
discolored water.
“The problem was resolved quickly
and I thank Maybrook DPW Supervisor
Matt Thorp and the DPW crew for getting
Well 7 cleaned up and back online,” said
Leahy.
The village board is also moving
forward with replacing sidewalks in
the village. The village has received
multiple grants for the effort, totaling
approximately $225,000. The bid opening
date for the project has been set for May
17 at 11 a.m.
During their meeting last week, the
village board approved a final extension
of the contract for garbage removal with
County Waste for one year, at the price
of $234,000. This is the same price paid
in 2015-16.
In other business, the Town of
Montgomery Chamber of Commerce
presented the George C. Bullis Community
Center with a check for $100.
The next village board meeting will be
held on Monday, May 8 at 7 p.m.
