The City of Poughkeepsie Zoning Board of Appeals moved to continue several open public hearings and application reviews to its Sept. 9 meeting.

The chair asked for motions and the board voted to continue the public hearings and application reviews for 100 North Hamilton Street, 105 Albany Street and 134 Smith Street to the Sept. 9 meeting. The chair also adjourned an open matter that had been continued previously and rescheduled it for Sept. 9. The board recorded the continuances by voice vote ("All in favor? Aye.").

Why it matters: continuing public hearings keeps items on the board's agenda while allowing applicants and staff time to prepare materials and respond to outstanding conditions; nearby residents retain the opportunity to provide comment at the rescheduled hearings.

Actions recorded: for each address the chair moved to continue the public hearing and application review to Sept. 9; motions were seconded and the board voted in favor. No substantive testimony or final decisions were recorded on these items at this meeting.

Next steps: applicants should monitor staff requests and appear at the Sept. 9 meeting; public comment opportunities will be available at that hearing.
