public and Planning Board what they are proposing to do. Mr. Donoghue states that the objective is
that the original Mellert farm to the four kids and the three original family
members that were supposed to be given it have since passed on. Now the grandkids are involved. This is a forty year old agreement that they
are trying to solve the family farm for everyone. Kerri will keep her property; her father
called it Kerri’s woods. His uncle and
he will move the lot lines to satisfy the uncle and Mr. Donoghue’s already
established parcels and compensate Kerri with money. Mr. Cross asked Ms. Gray if she had any
public comments and she states that two neighbors requested file and Mr.
Baccash is here. No comments to be read or concerns received. Mr. Baccash states thank you. Mr. Cross asks if the Planning Board or

SKETCH PLAN
REVIEWS:
ANTHONY NICHOLICH & REBECCA CHAIKLIN PB#
21-1225: Sketch Plan Review of a Lot Line Revision application to transfer ±4.91 acres
from SBL# 38.7-5-25, originally ± 27 acres to SBL# 38.6-4-70, originally ± 0.35
acres establishing (2) new lots ± 22 and ± 5.26 acres in the R5 Zoning
District located at 180-182 Van Dale Road in Woodstock Rep: Katterskill Associates & Andrade
Architecture
Present: Robin Andrade and Martin Schmidt
Notes: Mr. Cross reads
the case summary and there is a discussion about the lot size of the smaller
parcel. He asks Judy to show the
Hudsonia map and the applicants to explain.
Mr. Schmidt states that is he Martin Schmidt from Kaaterskill
Associates. He is the representative for
the case. They are proposing a lot line
revision for a tiny parcel and a larger parcel.
The 0.35 acre lot is in the town of Hurley. He can show the town line on his map. Mr. Schmidt shares his screen to display the
parcels. He shows the house on the
larger parcel. They want to chunk off
4.5 -5 acres, up to 5 acres to put a new house on the new section of land. The septic has been done. They are proposing a driveway off of Ryan
Drive. They will need to cross the
wetlands for the driveway. It is
suitable for a buildable lot. The
purpose of us getting in front of you is to get information from you on what is
needed. Mr. Cross asks when the wetlands
were delineated and continues with the wetlands must be shown on the map by a
licensed delineator. He explains where
the wetlands are to the Planning Board and Mr. Schmidt on the map. Woodstock has a 100 foot buffer on all
wetlands. The buffer needs to be shown
on the maps. On Ulster County Parcel
Viewer, it shows a stream. Mr. Cross
asks Mr. Schmidt if the development will be close to the stream. Mr. Schmidt states that the wetlands were
delineated on October 22, 2020. They are
finalizing the boundary survey and will include these on the next plats. Mr. Cross asks if the Board has any
questions. Mr. Schmidt continues that
they wanted to get in front of the board to understand the process for the
wetlands mitigation. Mr. Cross tells Mr.
Schmidt that they will need to apply for a wetlands and watercourse
permit. That is a separate Special Use
Permit, there will be two applications going on. Mr. Cross asks if the Planning Board members
have any input. Ms. Gray states that we
need a town of Hurley curb cut, Department of Health septic approval and the
Hurley Planning Board letter regarding the small parcel in Hurley. Mr. Cross states that Ms. Gray will tell us
what to do with the Town of Hurley. Ms.
Gray states that she recommends giving the town of Hurley Planning Board a call
and telling them you have begun the process for the lot line revision with us
and the smaller parcel is in Hurley and ask them how they would like you to
proceed. I have gotten letters from
other Planning Boards signing off on the lot line revision for their town in
the past; but, ultimately it has to be the Town of Hurley’s Planning Boards’
decision and we will need a letter or something from them stating whatever they
choose to do. Ms. Kerman shared her
screen. Mr. Schmidt shared his
screen. Mr. Cross states that the
delineation is current. Mr. Schmidt
states that they know the Army Corp is required for the driveway. He shows the wetlands and watercourse on the
screen and states that there is a 100 foot offset from the water, well beyond
the house and septic. Ms. Kerman and Mr.
Schmidt discuss the locations on the map.
Mr. Cross states that he has two points, the water course has to be
delineated, displaying the buffers, town made buffers. The wetlands have the 100 foot buffer and we
have to bother Ms. Gray to get the WEC involved in a site review. Ms. Gray smiled and said that’s not a
problem. Ms. Kerman states that Mr.
Schmidt’s information and mapping is much more accurate. Mr. Cross states that this is the preliminary
sketch review; this case is significant and requires certain specifications. Mr. Lipkind asks Mr. Schmidt about the road
access from Ryan Road. Mr. Schmidt
replies that it is his guess that the fifty foot strip was done for tax mapping
and it was split off as its own lot. The
driveway is off of VanDale Road. There
will be two separate driveways for the parcels.
Exclusive access for Ryan Road will be the small parcel. Mr. Lipkind asks what is on there now. Mr. Schmidt replies that it is raw land,
undeveloped, lightly wooded. Mr. Lipkind
states that anything we do is contingent on the Town of Hurley. Mr. Cross asks if anyone else has any
questions. Mr. LaValle states no. Ms. Gray states that she will email Mr.
Schmidt the WWP application after the meeting tonight. Mr. Schmidt asks if we can do these two cases
concurrently. He realizes they are two
separate cases but is wondering. Mr.
Lipkind states that the public hearings could be run together. Ms. Gray states that she agrees and it would
make the most sense to cover them both together during a public hearing. Ms. Andrade introduces herself and asks if
the portion of the house were to be
expanded, would they need to go through the Planning Board
for that also. Mr. Cross states that he
thinks that is the building department but Ms. Gray could answer that better.
Ms. Gray states that yes, an addition to the current house would go through the
building department and not need Planning Board approval unless the Zoning
Enforcement Officer deemed necessary; but I don’t think this case would cause
that. Do the lot line revision, let’s
work on the wetland and watercourse permit here and you can contact the
building department to see. She tells
Mr. Schmidt she will email him the application.
All say thank you.
BEARSVILLE CENTER SPR# 21-0141E: Sketch Plan Review of a Site Plan Review application for site plan
modifications to existing site plan to modify uses of buildings in the NC
Zoning District located at 277–297 Tinker Street in Woodstock SBL# 26.4-1-4.100
Rep: Barry Medenbach, P.E.
Present: Barry
Medenbach, Heather Gabriel, Lizzie Vann, Kim Lockrow
Notes: Mr. Cross reads
the summary of the case and asks Mr. Medenbach to tell us what they are
planning to do. Mr. Medenbach states
that the plan is to reorganize parking and access of the property with the new
parking and new lighting and drainage, including handicap accessibility. Ms. Gabriel shares and displays the site plan
to the Board. Ms. Gray thanks her for
showing her screen. Mr. Medenbach states
that they are going to pave the parking lot, create a new main entrance; there
is a driveway there now. There will be
primary two way access. We are going to
eliminate some of the existing parking lot to create a lawn area / garden
atmosphere; create a walking environment and adding new rows of parking. This is a parking expansion and there will be
a maintenance building to replace the inadequate one that is there now. Some other improvements that in 2004 there
was supposed to be dumpster enclosure that wasn’t built and we plan to do that and keep it bear protected,
hopefully. There is the proposed chapel
for use of the theater, creating some handicap accessibility. The Utopia building is getting major changes
to become a studio and office spaces.
Mr. Cross asks is the parking adequate.
Mr. Medenbach states that yes, the numbers are on the plan. It has higher capacity than what was
approved. Ms. Kerman asks where the
Grossman grave is. Mr. Medenbach states
that he knows there is some controversy with that. There is a fence up, which is temporary and will be removed and
organized. The original right of way
will be preserved. Ms. Gabriel points
out the grave site area on the site plan.
Ms. Vann states that they will preserve the right of way to the
grave. We put up the temporary fence due
to Governor Cuomo and his regulations for Covid. Mr. Cross asks if any of this affects Sally’s
(Ms. Grossman) access to the grave. Ms.
Vann and Mr. Medenbach reply no. Ms.
Kerman asks about the door on the Peterson House. Mr. Medenbach states that it is all being
revised. The architect, Brad Will can
explain more on that but he’s not here. Ms.
Vann says that the solution is to go between the corridor with a ramp between
the Bear and the Little Bear. Ms. Kerman
asks on the side. Ms. Vann replies yes,
right there. It is very important to me
that all seven buildings have had a lot of work. Mr. Medenbach says that there has been an
extensive amount of work done the past 1
½ years by Lizzie (Ms. Vann)
including plumbing, heating, insulation and replacing rotting wood. Lizzie has put quite an effort into bringing
it back to life. We submitted the Town
of Woodstock’s master plan to match up with the town’s comp plan. Mr. Cross asks for the Planning Board’s point
of view. He adds that the main concern
is the parking and is there enough of it.
We don’t want parking on the highway.
Ms. Vann states that we created enough parking and plan to use a golf
cart to the bottom lot. We have sixteen
acres here. Mr. Medenbach says that
originally it was 261 parking spaces and they are proposing 383 / adding over
200 spaces. Mr. Cross asks if the
lighting will be dark skies compliant.
Mr. Medenbach states yes. Mr.
Normoyle asks about parking and the water runoff. Mr. Medenbach says we haven’t provided
runoff. It will accommodate expansion of
the parking and we are adding pavement that is impervious. There will be proper storm water and
calculations. We haven’t done that
yet. We will follow the detailed
engineering. We wanted feedback from the
Planning Board. Ms. Kerman asks what the
driveway materials will consist of. Mr.
Medenbach states that we assume it is impervious and plan that it all clogs up. We have to consider gravel areas as
impervious. Green areas could be rain
gardens. Ms. Kerman asks if there will
be access through trails through the woods, with the monuments along
there. Ms. Vann replies that they have
had a bunch of people approach them; they would like to do small plaques, not grave
stones, to mark various people to honor the people who love Bearsville. I think five people or so. Mr. Cross states that there is a berm that
the town put in a long time ago. Number
one is Ms. Grossman’s concern is the gravesite and its right of way. We want to be assured that it is preserved. Ms. Vann replies that it is and it will
be. The fence will be taken down. Mr. Cross states that it will be corrected,
that is great. Mr. Cross continues with
a possible Wetlands and Watercourse Permit for the creek. If they are within 100 ft of the creek we may
need that; but the engineer can explain that to us later. Mr. Medenbach states that he believes it’s
just decks there. Ms. Vann states that
there are no foundations, lots of work on the drainage and high water with the
table runoff on Route 212. They have
trenched around every building. They
have been doing their best. They
discovered a concrete 15 x 50 ft long object and had no idea what it was. They found out that it was a bunker that
Albert Grossman that he had built to put things in. It was revealed by a hole in the ground. Ms. Lockrow states that Lizzie was the first
to jump in. All laugh. Ms. Vann continues there is no need for
foundations, deck to the rest and on that concrete. Mr. Cross states that will be the building department. Mr. Cross asks if the Planning Board has any
questions. Mr. Lipkind asks if the area
behind the Little Bear and the Cantina, what are the dotted markings. Mr. Medenbach replies they are the contour
lines, it is two feet elevation for the embankment to the stream. Mr. Lipkind thanked him. Mr. Medenbach said the bank of the stream and
Lizzie fixed a lot of this. Mr. Cross
states that he read Lizzie’s trials and tribulations. Mr. Cross states that we are happy to see,
and he hopes he’s speaking for the whole Board, that you are bringing the site
back to life. We have no issues. Melissa can put you on for the next
stage. Ms. Vann states that wanted
guidance and to work with us. They can’t
afford for it to deteriorate again. Ms.
Kerman states that the lawns and natural meadow lands with walking paths would
be great. Ms. Vann states that yes, they
would love to do that, possibly on the leech field, also. Mr. Medenbach asks what is the next
step. Mr. Cross states show us the
lighting, parking lots and lighting, and show us enough parking for what you
need. When you cover all that, a 2nd
sketch plan review. Mr. Medenbach states
that they are waiting on DOT access for
the parking and this will need county level advisory. Mr. LaValle thanks Ms. Vann and says it
matters to us. MS. Vann replies that
they just want to get through the pandemic.
Ms. Kerman states that she looks forward to doing a reading there. Mr. Cross says that he dated one of the
Peterson girls; there is quite a history for this site and he is glad you are
keeping it going. Mr. Lipkind asked if
they watched The Dig on Netfllix; wear a hard hat next time you get in a
bunker. Mr. Cross states that Ms. Gray
will take care of the county submittal.
Thank yous all around.
105-109 MILL HILL ROAD, LLC SPR# 21-0162D: Sketch Plan Review of a Site Plan Review application for site plan
modifications to existing site plan to operate a sushi restaurant in the R1.5
Zoning District located at 105-109 Mill Hill Street in Woodstock SBL#
27.55-3-12 Rep: David Fletcher
Present: David
Fletcher, Mark Golfarb, Giovanni Scappin, Sharon Fletcher
Notes: Mr. Cross reads
case summary and asks the applicant to tell us what they are proposing to
do. Mr. Fletcher introduces himself and
says that he is super excited to be here.
The plan is to start with a sushi restaurant out of the red barn and he
is a partner with Woodstock Drop and plans to use that for takeout. This will be delivery and takeout / pick up
at first. Mr. Cross asks if there will
be changes to the exterior of the barn.
If so, you will have to go through the Gateway District and Commission
for Civic Design. Mr. Golfarb states
that they will be repainting the same color and updating the windows. That’s it.
Mr. Cross states that last time there was quite an obstacle with Cucina. We need to make sure that the parking spaces
are correct for the restaurant and the barn.
Regarding the existing plans of the parking lot, it is up to the Board,
we may want to see delineated parking.
Mr. Fletcher states that initially we won’t have dine in parking. Mr. Cross states that this was different
prior but we need to make sure parking is covered. Ms. Kerman says planning ahead and thinking
ahead for eating inside. Mr. Golfarb
states that Sally has committed to this with the parking and the setbacks. Mr. Cross says this was exactly the issue
before, buffer it please. Mr. Goldfarb
states it was painful. Mr. Conrad asks
if there will no indoor or outdoor seating right now. Mr. Fletcher replies no, just takeout and
delivery, which is appropriate for Covid time and in the future we will check
with the building department and water/sewer.
Mr. Lipkind confirmed there will be no indoor dining / just delivery
service. Mr. Conrad stated this is why I
asked this. Mr. Cross states that Cucina
approved the red barn. Mr. Lipkind
states that Cucina has dine in now. Mr.
Cross states that this was the original issue.
Mr. Lipkind asks what is the lens on this. Mr. Fletcher states that the sushi entity
won’t infringe on the max capacity. Mr.
Lipkind says there are two buildings there, set max for parking. Mr. LaValle asks who is the applicant for
this. Ms. Gray and Mr. Golfarb and Mr.
Fletcher state Nancy Adler. Ms. Gray
adds 105-109 Mill Hill Road. Mr. Cross
adds that it is the owners and it is zoned residential. Questions among board are whose name should
be on the application. Ms. Gray replies
Nancy Adler is the owner of 105-109 Mill Hill Road and has appointed David
Fletcher as her rep for this. I have the
paperwork for that. Mr. Scappin says I am
the owner, Cucina is its own restaurant, they have valet parking if they need
it. The sushi place will be under
umbrella of Cucina with minimal parking.
He continues explaining how they utilize the parking lot for Cucina and
will for the sushi place. Mr. Cross
states that the issue is that this is a site plan change. It will need to be clearly delineated and
require this Site Plan Review for the parking.
Mr. Scappin replies that the sushi place will have three to four cars
there at a time at most. They might
increase parking and create dine in – but not now. Mr. Cross asked if the Planning Board had any
questions. Board doesn’t reply. Mr. Cross states than Melissa can schedule a
public hearing. A few comments from the
Board asking about it being an operation that will take minimal parking. Mr. Lipkind asks about a kitchen in the red
barn. Mr. Scappin replies that it is a
satellite small kitchen. Ms. Gray
reiterates to the applicants once the venue changes to need more parking or
indoor seating, they need to come back for a site plan review. All applicants agreed. Ms. Gray will call applicants to schedule the
public hearing.
