Town of New Castle Zoning Board Meeting 6/24/26

The Town of New Castle Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on June 24, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and special use permit applications. Key procurement-related discussions included the renewal of a special use permit for Hope Stone, which also requested a building permit for ADA access ramp modifications. The board also reviewed a proposal for a new 2,600-square-foot library building with associated parking and garage, discussing variances related to frontage, parking, and wetland buffer impacts. The board declared itself lead agency to initiate the SEQRA process for this project. Additional agenda items included approval of special use permit amendments for a church involving solar panel installation, and several variance requests for residential property modifications such as decks, porticos, and garage additions. Motions to approve permits and variances were unanimously passed, with conditions including timelines for project commencement and completion, and requirements for final surveys. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but several building permits and zoning approvals were granted that could lead to future procurement activities related to construction and site improvements.
