Chili ZBA to weigh variances for Bowen Road porch, Jetview Drive expansion; Library Board eyes 2027 budget

The Chili Zoning Board of Appeals will hold public hearings on two variance requests, including a large industrial expansion at 50 Jetview Drive that seeks relief from parking, loading, and telecom tower setback requirements. Separately, the Chili Public Library Board met twice in late July to consider its proposed 2027 budget and an online fine payment system. All items remain on agendas; no decisions have been published.

Zoning Board of Appeals (July 28)

The ZBA will consider two variance applications. At 122 Bowen Road, a request (ZBA-16-2026) seeks a variance for a 13-foot by 13-foot open porch setback. At 50 Jetview Drive, a single application (ZBA-15-2026) covers multiple variances for a warehouse addition and parking, including:

• 195 off-street parking spaces, compared with 560 required
• 14 off-street loading spaces, compared with 18 required
• An 85-foot telecom tower setback, compared with 145 feet required

The agenda lists these as public hearing items; no votes or decisions have been reported.

Library Board (July 28 and July 30)

The Chili Public Library Board of Trustees met twice in the past two weeks, both times with agendas only and no published minutes.

At the July 28 meeting, the board discussed the proposed 2027 budget and cover letter, approval of MCLS online fine payments, receipts and disbursements, a strategic planning committee report, and the Library Fund Abstract.

At the July 30 meeting, the board again took up the 2027 proposed budget and cover letter, along with approval of the MCLS online fine payment system. The agenda also included the director’s report, financial documents review, and reports from the Strategic Planning and Budget committees.

Neither meeting’s minutes have been released, so the outcomes of these votes are not yet known.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days.

Chili boards tackle variance requests and 2027 library budget in late July meetings

Chili's Zoning Board of Appeals and Library Board both convened in late July, but as of this writing, minutes from those meetings have not been published. What follows is based on the posted agendas only — no decisions are confirmed.

Zoning Board of Appeals — July 28

The Zoning Board of Appeals had two variance applications on its agenda.

The first, filed as ZBA-16-2026, concerns a 13'-0" x 13'-0" open porch at 122 Bowen Road. The agenda lists it as a variance request, though the specific setback relief sought is not detailed beyond the porch dimensions.

The second, ZBA-15-2026, covers multiple requests at 50 Jetview Drive for a warehouse addition and parking. The agenda item includes:

• A request for 195 off-street parking spaces, where 560 are required.
• A request for 14 off-street loading spaces, where 18 are required.
• A variance for an 85'-0" telecom tower setback, where 145'-0" is required.

Because minutes are not yet available, the outcome of these hearings — whether any variances were granted, denied, or tabled — is not confirmed.

Chili Public Library Board — July 28 and July 30

The Chili Public Library Board of Trustees met twice in the same week, with the 2027 proposed budget and a new online fine payment system on both agendas.

The July 28 agenda listed discussion of the proposed 2027 budget and cover letter, approval of MCLS Online Fine Payment, review of receipts and disbursements, a Strategic Planning Committee report, and approval of the Library Fund Abstract.

The July 30 agenda again included approval of the MCLS Online Fine Payment system and approval of the 2027 Chili Public Library Proposed Budget/Cover letter, along with the director's report and financial documents review and Strategic Planning and Budget Committee reports.

The July 30 agenda described the meeting as including a vote on both items. However, with minutes unpublished, it is not confirmed whether the board adopted the budget, approved the online fine payment system, or took other action.

What this means for residents

The 50 Jetview Drive variances involve a substantial gap between requested and required parking — 195 spaces proposed against 560 required — as well as loading space and telecom tower setback reductions. If granted, these would affect site use at that industrial property. The 122 Bowen Road request is a smaller residential porch variance.

The library's proposed 2027 budget, if adopted, would shape spending and services for the coming year. The MCLS Online Fine Payment system would change how patrons pay fines.

Residents should watch for published minutes to confirm what was actually decided.

Coming up

No upcoming public meetings are listed for the next 14 days (through August 17, 2026), according to the meeting data provided. Check the town's official calendar for any additions or schedule changes.

Chili boards weigh Scottsville Road offices, Jetview warehouse; Town Board set to vote on $8,043.50 ARPA allocation

Chili's advisory and planning boards spent the first half of July reviewing several development applications — including two office buildings on Scottsville Road and a 109,100-square-foot warehouse on Jetview Drive — while the Town Board prepared to vote on more than $1.1 million in voucher payments and an $8,043.50 equipment allocation. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings listed below, so the outcomes described are based on agendas only and have not been confirmed by official minutes.

Town Board (July 15)

The Town Board agenda included several resolutions scheduled for a vote. Because minutes are not yet published, the board's actual decisions cannot be confirmed from the available record.

Agenda items listed:

• **Resolution #158:** Transfer $3,200 in auction proceeds to the Highway Equipment Reserve.
• **Resolution #159:** Appoint Senovia Moncada to the Library Board of Trustees.
• **Resolution #160:** Allocate $8,043.50 in ARPA/SLFRF funds to purchase equipment for senior and youth programming.
• **Resolution #165:** Appoint Robin Whittington as Assistant Assessor at a salary of $52,381.
• **Resolutions #168–170:** Record payment of vouchers totaling $1,135,282.36 from various funds.

The ARPA allocation and the voucher payments are the largest dollar items on the agenda. Residents interested in how federal recovery funds are being spent locally may want to watch for the minutes confirming whether these resolutions passed.

Planning Board (July 14)

The Planning Board agenda set multiple public hearings and carried over old business. No minutes are available, so no approvals or denials can be confirmed.

Agenda items listed:

• Special use permit for a two-family dwelling at 35 Bowen Rd (PRD District).
• Preliminary site plan for a 109,100 sq ft warehouse at 50 Jetview Dr (LI District).
• Preliminary site plan for two office/flex buildings at 1204B Scottsville Rd (GB District).
• First 1-year extension for a 3 MW solar energy system at 243 Archer Rd, covering both the site plan and special use permit.
• Second 1-year extension for the 47-lot Vista Villa Phase 2 subdivision and 47 single-family dwellings at 100 Club House Dr (PRD District).

The Jetview Drive warehouse and the Scottsville Road office buildings are the largest projects on the agenda by square footage.

Architectural Advisory Committee (July 14)

The committee was scheduled to consider site plan application PB-5-2026 for two office/flex buildings at 1204B Scottsville Road — the same application also before the Planning Board. Minutes are not yet published.

Conservation Board (July 6)

The Conservation Board agenda listed a public hearing on the same site plan application, PB-5-2026, for two office/flex space buildings at 1204B Scottsville Road. The applicant is MRB Group on behalf of South Pointe Landing, LLC. Minutes are not yet published.

Coming up

Zoning Board of Appeals — July 28: The ZBA will hold public hearings on two variance applications.

• **ZBA-16-2026:** Variance for a 13'-0" x 13'-0" open porch at 122 Bowen Road.

The 50 Jetview Drive variances relate to the same site where the Planning Board is reviewing a 109,100 sq ft warehouse proposal. Residents following that project may want to attend or review the ZBA agenda.
