POUND RIDGE, N.Y. The Pound Ridge Planning Board has approved a special use permit that will allow plans for a new delicatessen in Scotts Corners to move forward.
The applicants, Toni and Michael Cummaro, plan to take over the location occupied by Panellas Deli at 78 Westchester Ave. in Scotts Corners. Panellas closed its doors in January.
The Cummaros, who live in Stamford, Conn., must now go before the town board at its Thursday night meeting for final approval. The Town Board already indicated at its February meeting that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would green light the deli once the planning board gave its approval. The business, which will be known as The Pound Ridge Deli, could technically open the following day if the Cummaros were ready.
In other planning board news:

The applicants fulfilled a request to move the cabin away from DEC wetlands and agreed to the Pound Ridge Water Control Commission to take the structure down after 10 years.
