| Notice of Public Hearing |
| NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the Town of Patterson Planning Board of a public hearing to be held on
Thursday, September 3, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as may be heard, at the Patterson
Town Hall, 1142 Route 311, Patterson, Putnam County, New York to consider an application entitled
"Stack N' Stor – Amended Site Plan Application" in order to modify the previously approved site plan
for the construction of a self-storage building. The original site plan that was for a 134,337±
square foot self-storage building was approved on December 5, 2019. The proposed modification would
result in a reduction to the footprint of the lower level of the building. This would eliminate the
removal of nearly 20,000 cubic yards of dirt. A smaller septic system is also being proposed and
relocated closer to the building; this would reduce the amount of site disturbance by 1+ acre. The
property is located at 2160 Route 22 (C-1 Zoning District), Patterson, New York. All interested
parties and citizens will be given an opportunity to be heard in respect to such application.
By Order of the Planning Board *ALL PLANNING BOARD MEETING ATTENDANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PRE-REGISTER WITH THE PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT NO LATER THAN 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE SUBJECT MEETING DATE TO ENSURE THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING STANDARDS CAN BE MET. REGISTRATION CAN BE DONE VIA PHONE (845.878.6500) OR EMAIL (ZONING@PATTERSONNY.ORG). ALL MEETING ATTENDANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR FACE COVERINGS WHEN INSIDE THE BUILDING. |

| NYSEG Warning: Scams Calls |
| Customers have reported receiving automated calls from “NYSEG” telling them that their
electricity will be shut off later that day. The customer is instructed to call back to prevent this.
The callback numbers, which vary, answer with “NYSEG automated service line,” and prompt you to press
