On Tuesday, the developers of the proposed Brick Pond Apartments, which would be built on E. Main and Division Streets in Owego, went before the Zoning Board of Appeals to gain a special use permit to develop in a floodplain.
Just last week, the Tioga County Planning Board voted down a special use permit with a margin of five “yes” votes, 2 no votes, and one abstention. They needed six “yes” votes for approval.
At Tuesday’s Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, a public hearing in the matter allowed residents to address the board. The developers were in attendance as well to answer any questions.
But by the end of the meeting, the Zoning Board of Appeals requested further information from the developers before making a sound decision.
They have until Dec. 19, at which time they will reconvene. You can read the full story in this weekend’s edition of the Owego Pennysaver Press.
