| March 16, 2026 Page 4 January 27,2026 Planning Board Minutes that the purpose of this meeting is for the rezone and not a site plan approval. Member Barb Lipka said she has a problem with it fitting into the neighborhood aesthetically and wouidn’t want it if she lived there. Member Greg Keyser said by rezoning this would allow for higher density and would become permanent and feels it would not be appropriate for this neighborhood, He is not in favor of the rezone and said the applicant does have other options. Chairman Muhlbauer asked for a motion as to make a recommendation to the Village Board of Trustees to deny the rezone from R8.5 to RM. Meniber Greg Keyser made the motion, seconded by Member Barb Lipka. All in favor none opposed. Next on the agenda this evening is an informational presentation by Springville Youth Inc. tegarding the property at 79 S. Buffalo St. where they have plans to build a community center. Hillary Georgi the architect from Elev8 and Stephanie Bacon the Executive Director for SYI were on hand with some early design plans to go over. The programs they currently have include childcare, summer camps, evening and weekend and year around sporting programs which are offered to residents in the town of Concord, Village of Springville and surrounding towns. They operate out of both 63 Maple Ave. and 79 § Buffalo St. and have reached capacity. Currently they are working with the schools to use the gyms but sometimes they have conflicts. They have a van they use to transport the kids and feel that having everything offered in one place makes sense, _ The plan is to combine both locations at 79 S. Buffalo St. which would mean removing the existing pool house, the pool would remain but also needs renovations. The new facility would have enough space for a recreation room, cafeteria; community room, offices and a regulation size basketball court, The new center would be built towards the back of the property as to allow enough space for parking and pick up and drop off in the front. The total square footage would be 16000 square feet, twice the size of the current Maple Ave. property and be available to the community to use. Chairman Muhibauer thanked them for the presentation and said the board looks forward to working with them once they finalize everything and are ready to come before the Planning Board for approval. With nothing else to discuss, Chairman Muhlbauer asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the December 23, 2025 meeting. Member Brett Landsman made the motion, seconded by Member Greg Keyser. All in favor, none opposed. Chairman Muhlbauer made a motion to adjourn meeting at 8:15 p.m. Member Barb Lipka made the motion, seconded by Member Greg Keyser. All in favor, none opposed. Meeting adjourned. aA Respectfully Submitted, Julié Nunweiler
