Planning Board
June 14, 2023
This decision shall be filed with the Town Clerk.
The Board asked whether the applicant met with the concerned neighbors to discuss the other
components of the applicant's proposal.
Mr. Salanitro stated he met with the concerned neighbors, presented documents, walked the
range area near their homes, and had renderings done from three different vantage points.
Nets were discussed, Mr. Salanitro stated that he strongly believes that errant balls will be
reduced by the implementation of the new driving range plan and that nets are not necessary.
Members representing the applicant further stated that the applicant would reconsider use of
nets upon request from neighbors.
Mr. Papazian stated that the neighbors have testified that balls are landing on their properties
and it has not been established which part of the course they are coming from.
Public comments:
Ami Ziff of 5 Cornell Street asked if a net would be required in the future and whether a
variance would be required.
Ms. Hochman stated that installing a net would likely require a variance from the Town's
Zoning Board of Appeals as well as a site plan amendment and would also likely require the
SEQRA process to be re-opened.
The Board discussed the potential impact of golf balls landing on neighboring properties. Ms.
Cooney said that neighbors have testified that golf balls are landing on their properties, even
without this proposed change. Mr. Block stated that the neighbors knew about the risk of
errant balls when they purchased their properties adjacent to a golf course. Mr. Salanitro said
that he expects there will be fewer errant balls due to a new tracking system.
Mr. Chafizadeh stated on behalf of the applicant that they waive any mandatory timeframes
to complete the Planning Board's review of their application.
The matter was adjourned.

June 14, 2023
Mr. Moser stated he received Mr. Oliveri's memo and is working with Hudson Engineering
to address the issues. He further stated that the application requires several variances to be
granted by the Town's Zoning Board of Appeals.
Mr. Engel stated that since zoning variances are necessary, the applicant should proceed to
the Zoning Board for such variances and then return to the Planning Board once all necessary
variances have been granted.
At the applicant's request, Board members provided feedback on the proposed plans.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Engel stated that the Town Board has requested comments from the Planning Board on
the Draft Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Hochman added that comments were requested by July 1, 2023.

comments and if Board members reply that such email accurately reflects the views they
