SUBDIVISION
Salmon Run Mall – Tax Map #82.11-1-50.21 – 2 Lot Subdivision
Kyle Hopkins, General Manager, Salmon Run Mall, appear before the board for a 2 lot subdivision. Originally Salmon Run Mall applied for a 3 lot subdivision to separate Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse from the Salmon Run Mall Parcel, allowing each to be a separate parcel. They went before the Town of Watertown Zoning Board of Appeals on August 7, 2019 and were granted variances. They are now asking for a revision from the original 3 lot subdivision request to a 2 lot subdivision. This would allow Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse to be separate from Salmon Run Mall’s main parcel. Discussion followed.
Motion 71-19: Motion by Mrs. Desormo, seconded by Mr. MacAdam to waive the public hearing for Salmon Run Mall, Tax Map #82.11-1-50.21 for a 2 lot subdivision for Longhorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden, as a public hearing was held by the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 7, 2019 and no one from the public wished to speak for or against this matter.
Ayes All: Motion Carried.
