Supervisor Flaherty announced a Public Hearing to consider an amendment/corrective action to a
Progressive Development District (PDD) set up in 2019 at Ridge Commons.
At 7:32 p.m. Supervisor Flaherty opened the Public Hearing.
Michael Montalto, Costich Engineering, on behalf of his client, Charlie Fox, discussed the
zoning issues related to the 26-acre property, noting that prior approvals from 2019 were granted
erroneously because a Progressive Development District (PDD) cannot be established on
residential zoning per Town code. Mr. Montalto emphasized the need to correct the mistake
regarding zoning classifications. The focus is on ensuring that the site’s zoning accurately
reflects the intended land use for commercial development, affirming that while the process is
complex, the correction is necessary and straightforward.
No comments were received, and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:37 p.m.
***
The meeting was open to the floor for public comment. No comments were received.

Art Petrone, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works - Sewer, presented the next matter. Mr.
Petrone stated that Barton & Loguidice (B&L) is progressing design and permitting to support
and protect the 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe crossing Shipbuilder’s Creek which has been
undermined by erosion of the stream. The original intent was for stone stabilization upstream
and downstream for the pipeline to be progressed as an emergency action until a more
comprehensive stream/infrastructure stabilization project could be progressed. B&L and the
Town of Webster representatives met virtually with NYSDEC Region 8 staff for a preapplication permitting meeting on March 4, 2025. The NYSDEC requested a site visit with
B&L, which was conducted on March 13, 2025. As a result of these meetings, NYSDEC
determined that the work could not progress under emergency authorization and additional
design/permitting requirements would be required. Therefore, the amendment to the project is
required to continue.
The Town Board then considered the following Resolution:
Resolution No. 153: MOTION by Councilwoman Cataldi, seconded by Councilwoman Wright,
to approve Change Order No. 1 for Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C. contract in regards to
Shipbuilder’s Creek. The change order is for additional design work and permitting, as
determined to be necessary by the NYSDEC, in the amount of Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($16,500.00).
