Padre Pio School, the traditional Catholic school that’s a part of the St. Pius X congregation on Tackora Trail, will get its third public hearing Tuesday, Dec. 3, after receiving an extension earlier this month.
The Planning and Zoning Commission heard from the project’s applicants at a second hearing on Nov. 6, but the meeting didn’t get off the table because of a lack of updated material.
“They told us they were still working on revising their original application and didn’t want to submit what they had until it was finished,” said town planner Betty Brosius after the second hearing.
Construction of the proposed 7,400-square-foot school building for up to 118 students didn’t receive much concern from the public at its first hearing Oct. 1.
However, zoners were concerned about increased traffic on Route 116, lack of a proposed sprinkler system, and runoff into Lake Mamanasco.
