We have heard your concerns and we contacted the Town of Henrietta to gather more information. They were extremely responsive and helpful! We received multiple responses from multiple departments. Here is what we have found out! Amy Englert- Admin. Assistant for Engineering Dept. "We have not yet seen a detailed set of site plans as of yet as they have not yet submitted for Planning Board approval. The applicant has applied for their Special Permit for multi-family housing in a PUD zoned district. They will go before Town Board for the Special Permit on 9/9/2020. Attached is the Letter of Intent and the planset for Riverton Parcel E for the Special Use Permit. The application for the Special Use Permit will heard at the September 9th Town Board meeting. They will submit a more complete planset when they submit for Planning Board. That planset will include utilities, drainage, landscaping, etc." Stephen Schultz-Town Supervisor "Nothing has been voted on yet. For either development being worked on in Riverton. We do not have finished plans, just their preliminary plans that they brought to a concept meeting. We gave them some feedback, asking them for revised plans. The way this works under the Riverton Planned Unit Development is that before they can proceed, they need a Special Use Permit from the Town Board stating that their plans are in alignment with the original concepts and design goals of the Planned Unit Development. To do so, we intend to base it off of the following sources of information:
As part of that process, if there are things you would like to see, such as (and some of these I will be requiring):
I will note that in addition to the Special Use Permit, SEQR will also be conducted, so they will have to not create any unmitigated adverse impacts on traffic, the wetlands, drainage, character of neighborhood, and so on. The Town Board will be lead agency on the SEQR process with the Planning Board as an Involved Agency. I suspect a County agency or two will be either involved or interested agencies as well." Tim Harris- Passero Group Project Manager- "You should be hearing from Park Grove, the applicant, soon. We are simply just getting the project started right now, and no decision will be made at the upcoming Town Board meeting in terms of approvals for the project. This is simply to start the SEQRA process right now. We are still in design and will be reaching out to the Riverton Group (Park Grove will). Hopefully that clears up some confusion."

I am very against the new development because we don’t need more homes or apartments in this area. We need to keep the trees and protect them because they provide important sources of clean air and keep the temperatures cool. They also beautify the neighborhood. They have already destroyed the beautiful trees by the golf course next to the thruway. We need to protect and conserve the environment and trees for our future.

Please make sure to attend the Town Meetings regarding this to let the Town know. A previous Board of Directors of Riverton has already approved the general concept of this project.

Similar concept drawings were presented to the Riverton Board a couple years ago for concept purposes. The Board did not approve or disapprove them at that time. The developer was just presenting his concept as a courtesy to Riverton

In the most recent site plan attached to the town planning board meeting notice, they have extended the development into what was originally left natural and labeled wetlands on the west side off of Moore Rd. Was this update presented and approved by the board? Wondering why it's ok now to development there. Thank you
