Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Chili public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Proposed group home at 105 Beaver Road
Lifetime Assistance wants to build a 3,800-square-foot residential group home on Beaver Road in an R-1-20 residential district. Neighbors may weigh in on traffic, character, and site design at the hearing.
Union Street industrial subdivision revival
SMATTL Holdings is reviving an eight-lot industrial park approved in 2023, now with a lot under contract to a buyer. The board re-granted preliminary approvals before the Army Corps wetland jurisdiction determination expires in November.
Hillside Children's Center campus expansion
Hillside is adding 930 square feet to its Valhalla Cottage at 2075 Scottsville Road, funded by philanthropy, following last year's successful new cottage construction. Same number of residents, just more space for them.
King Road flex-space expansion (Phase II)
A local developer is adding three flex buildings to a nearly full Phase I complex that houses small businesses like a plumber and a Zamboni refurbisher. It means more light industrial activity on King Road and continued growth of the town's small-business space.
Vista Villas Phase 2 letter of credit
The developer of 47 single-family lots sought second one-year extensions of its approvals while finalizing easements and mylars and pursuing a sale to a developer. Neighbors on nearby roads asked about the easement changes.
In-law apartments in Chili neighborhoods
Two families got approval to house aging parents or grandparents on their properties — one attached addition in Churchville and one small separate structure. The permits expire when the in-law no longer lives there and rentals are banned.
Office/flex development at 1204B Scottsville Road
South Pointe Landing LLC wants to build two office/flex buildings on Scottsville Road. The Conservation Board's role is checking that the landscaping plan meets the 1% cost rule — it can't confirm that yet.
Airport Memorial Plaza on former Scottsville Rd hangar site
The Rochester International Airport plans to remove the old hangars on Scottsville Road to build a Memorial Plaza, and the historic preservation board endorsed the concept design.
Industrial park expansion at 15 Airline Drive
CMC Design Build is expanding a cold-storage warehouse at 15 Airline Drive with a 32,934 sq.ft. minus-10-degree freezer addition using climate-friendly CO2 refrigeration. The project needs a Zoning Board variance for the fire pump room and a complete stormwater plan before final approval.
Sydor Optics facility and Sydor Way parking
Sydor Optics is moving to a new three-lot industrial site off Jetview Drive with a new dedicated road. The odd-shaped lot with two road frontages made front-yard parking necessary; the board agreed it keeps parking near industrial neighbors, not homes on Fisher Road.
Dollar General North Chili landscaping recommendations
The Conservation Board's recommended landscaping tweaks for the North Chili Dollar General — bigger trees on the west side and extra foundation plantings — have been accepted by the developer and signed into the plans.
