The Town of Poughkeepsie Zoning Board Meeting - Monday, July 13, 2026

The Town of Poughkeepsie Zoning Board held a meeting on July 13, 2026, primarily focused on zoning variance requests and property use applications. Key procurement-related discussions included several requests for area variances related to signage size for Ross Dress for Less at 1559 Bernett Boulevard, driveway width and pool house location at Arbor Court, and accessory dwelling unit size at 65 Oldfield Road. The board voted to adjourn some applications to the August 10th meeting for further review, including the Ross Dress for Less signage and a chicken coop variance request. They approved an area variance for finishing a basement accessory dwelling unit at 65 Oldfield Road, contingent on submission of a formal application. The board also denied a driveway widening variance at 89 Kensington Lane due to insufficient justification. Several motions were passed to adjourn or continue hearings to future meetings, reflecting ongoing deliberations on zoning compliance and property modifications. No direct contract awards or procurement contracts were discussed, but zoning decisions could impact future development and vendor opportunities in the town.
