The Town of Victor planning board on June 24 approved a site-plan modification for VASTA at 681 Phillips Road that accepts the owner’s revised layout but ties final endorsement to several conditions and a staged completion schedule.
Todd Markovich of APD Engineering told the board the most recent plans (received 06/23/2026) show the above-ground diesel fuel storage tank removed from the site. Markovich said the applicant submitted written responses to review comments and “the existing, diesel, above ground storage tank [is] removed” from the plan. The board also reviewed landscaping and screening changes: staff and engineers noted the owner has installed a screening fence and the town’s landscape reviewer (Zaretsky and Associates) still needs to close the loop on its comments.
Board members pressed the applicant on daily operations and a front-area parking description that the submittal called “temporary customer drop off.” Trish, a planning board member, said the term was confusing after photos showed vehicles near the road; Max VASTA, the applicant, responded that vehicles are typically in-and-out during service and that overflow will move to the back lot once side-lot work is finished.
The resolution the chair read lists prior and ongoing conditions to be addressed before the chairman signs the plan (including addressing code-enforcement letters and consultant comments and obtaining a building permit for the paint booth). It also sets a performance schedule: “All authorized site construction and required improvements shall be physically completed within 90 days of the chairman’s endorsement of the plan” with an explicit exception that the paved asphalt or concrete surface in the fenced north/east area shall be completed by 06/30/2027.
Applicant Max VASTA said he would try to pave this year but requested flexibility because of costs and asphalt plant seasonality; the board agreed to the compromise that all improvements except the final pavement be completed within the 90-day window and that the paving be finished by next spring. The chair noted the ADA parking area up front must be paved within the 90-day period.
A motion to approve the site-plan modification carried (board recorded a 4–1 result) and the chair directed the planning board secretary to distribute the approval letter and the conditions to the applicant. The resolution references the original zoning-board resolution dated 05/04/2020 and the plan set titled “VASTA site plan modification, APD Engineering Architecture, dated 01/28/2026, received 02/03/2026, last provided 06/23/2026.”
The board’s action is conditional on the applicant addressing consultative comments and code-enforcement items identified in review letters prior to the chairman’s signature; the paving deadline and the 90-day completion requirement are the most significant calendar milestones for compliance.
