Planning Board: Work Session -- 10.22.2026

The Town of Penfield Planning Board held a work session on October 22, 2026 (the date shown in the meeting title; metadata lists October 23). The board approved the October 8 minutes with a clarification that a previously granted area variance might apply to the parcel. It discussed applications for a Seven Brew project and a quick-service restaurant at 2130 Fairport Nine Mile Point Road. Staff reported outstanding stormwater documentation and concerns about discharge to an existing pond; board members also requested a more defined scope for road repairs and discussed whether resurfacing would be appropriate. The board separately voted to table both applications pending additional information. No contracts, vendor selections, or procurement spending were identified.

The board also reviewed a school-related application, including operating hours, lighting and security questions, and a proposed bioretention facility. Staff recommended testing the facility after construction and reviewing stormwater inspection reports every three years. The board sought more time to review public comments and application materials and voted to table the application. Further comments were requested by November 6 for the November 12 meeting.
