Planning Board Meeting Posted For 3/11/2024: Includes Dunkin' Donuts, Telephone Building, More

March’s Planning Board Meeting has been posted.

Notable items for March:

- The proposed apartments and Dunkin’ Donuts to Rte 52 / Fishkill Avenue. The City of Beacon is trying to zone out drive-throughs (and any business auto-related, which includes the handful of businesses already located there despite the proposal to grandfather them in, which is still a risk), and may not be excited about a Dunkin’ Donuts, despite it being a franchise, which means a small business owner behind the location.

- The Planning Board to discuss Beacon’s City Council’s new proposed law concerning regulations for drive-throughs and self-storage businesses. Council doesn’t want either business types located there.

- 291 Main Street: The Telephone Building: The 2 buildings that the owner is proposing to build in the parking lot. This is the first Public Hearing for this project, which means that the public is encouraged to come voice their opinion.

- The Prophecy Theater (former Reformed Church of Beacon).

- 45 Beekman Street (on the way to Brett’s Hardware, across from the other apartment building The View): Continued Public Hearing for this project. Last month the public came out to voice opinions. This month the public is invited to come again to voice opinions.
