105-109
MILL HILL ROAD, LLC SPR# 21-0162D: Virtual
Public Hearing for 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 Road in Woodstock SBL# 27.55-3-12
Rep: David Fletcher
Present: Nancy Adler, David Fletcher, Mark Golfarb,
Gianni Scappin
Motion to open Public Hearing: Peter Cross
2nd: Judith Kerman & Brian Normoyle Aye: All
NOTES: Mr. Cross
introduced the case and states this came as a referral from the ZEO for a sushi
delivery takeout in the existing accessory barn. It is a modification to the site plan for
hours of operation and parking.
Mr. Cross asks if there is anyone here from the public. Mr. Wayne Thompson introduces himself. Mr. Cross states that this has already been
permitted as a banquet wedding venue to Cucina.
This building has been operating for over a hundred years. This is the oldest building in town. Because this is only a takeout service, the
parking won’t change from the event barn.
He asks if the applicant is here.
Ms. Gray says the whole crew is here.
Mr. Fletcher announces himself.
Mr. Cross asks him the hours of operation. Mr. Fletcher replies 1 pm until closing time
of Cucina. Mr. Cross states that the
parking was permitted for the event barn and there will be no interior seating
or dining inside. We asked if this
changes, we need to do a complete site plan review if the operation changes
from this. Mr. Thompson states he is
representing Nancy Schauffler. This is
in the Gateway Overlay District and takeout is not allowed in the Gateway
Overlay District. This was previously
approved as a cultural building. There
is no takeout to be allowed, because of the location and traffic. Within your own code, this would need a
variance. This type of use is
prohibited. Mr. Cross states that this
was a ZEO referral. Mr. Thompson
continues that the code is clear and it doesn’t permit takeout
restaurants. The Planning Board
shouldn’t be entertaining this application.
Mr. Cross replies that takeout has been done all last year through town
due to Covid. Mr. Thompson states this
is not permanent and look at the code. Takeout
is prohibited due to the intersection and pedestrians in the gateway overlay
district. This needs a ZBA use
variance. Ms. Adler asked if they are in
the gateway now. Mr. Cross states that
the point of the law was to prevent drive throughs such as McDonalds. Ms. Adler asks aren’t there other
takeouts. Mr. Cross replies that most
restaurants have takeout. Mr. Fletcher
states that Nana’s Creative Café does takeout.
Mr. LaValle states that he is not sure if Nana’s is in the gateway
district. Mr. Thompson states that other
places are not in front of the PB right now.
Mr. Normoyle asks Mr. Thompson if there is an underlying issue besides
takeout with your client. Mr. Thompson
replies that he was retained to look at the town code and see if it clearly
violates the zoning code and it does. A
use variance is required. There is no
ambiguity, change your code to clearly say no McDonalds. The Zoning Code prohibits this. Mr. Lipkind states that the significance of
this is that it is pre-existing and that’s the assessment. Mr. Thompson replies that such expansion is
permitted for previous use, contiguous to the cultural use facility not allowed
for a takeout facility. The zoning code
specifies ad forbids it. Mr. Lipkind
states the questions is narrower in regards to predated and pre-existing. Mr. Thompson states the prior use is predated
and was limited to Cucina than the barn in connection to the Playhouse;
ancillary to use in the gateway overlay district. The Playhouse is cultural in the gateway
overlay district in 2011-2012 and is not for takeout. Mr. Lipkind said the primary structure is the
playhouse. Mr. Cross states we will need
to contact the ZEO for clarification.
Mr. LaValle states he concurs.
Mr. Golfarb asks if they could do delivery only. Mr. Wenk states the law they are talking
about is §260-67 F 1 B and he reads the law verbatim. Mr. Cross states we need a determination from
the ZEO. Ms. Schauffler bought this
property next to Deanie’s and the Playhouse.
She sued us once before. This is
not just a question of code, a neighbor isn’t happy with it. Mr. Thompson states that he disagrees with
that statement. This clearly violates
the zoning code. Mr. Cross replies to
Mr. Thompson We are a volunteer Planning Board.
Ms. Schauffler states there are three districts that apply. It is overlay, residential and hamlet
historical. She had emailed Ed Sanders
and this was done intentionally to triple the protection on this property. The idea is to not have this commercially
developed. Mr. Cross replies we can’t
get into a legal problem here. Mr.
Normoyle asks Mr. Thompson how long has his client lived there. Ms. Schauffler responds since 2008 and it was
already Cucina; the Adlers had bought the property in 2002. They can’t do what they want with the
property. Mr. Normoyle says to Ms.
Schauffler you knew when you bought your property these entities were there. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Normoyle go back and
forth. Ms. Schauffler states when she
bought the property, it was a plumbing supply store. The land between us is dense vegetation and
in a prior resolution there is supposed to be specified foliage and that
foliage was taken out by Ms. Adler. Ms.
Adler disagreed and they went back and forth.
Mr. Normoyle asks them both if they can make a compromise here. Ms. Schauffler states like my lawyer said,
there’s a procedure. Mr. Normoyle asked
if the vegetation was removed. Ms. Adler
states that she does lawn maintenance and she had to call the police on Ms.
Schauffler. Ms. Steele interjects and
states that the vegetation was removed by Ms. Adler. Mr. Wenk tries to interrupt and states that
it is very hard to run these meetings via Zoom and we need order. This is contentious and we need to turn it
over to the Chair and Vice Chair. This
is remedial. Mr. Cross thanks Mr. Wenk and
asks Mr. Lipkind if he agrees with referring this back to the ZEO for
clarification. Mr. Lipkind agrees. Mr. Wenk entertains to make a motion to
temporarily adjourn this public hearing.
Mr. Lipkind states we ask the ZEO, this is our responsibility and with
proper determination. He continues that
Mr. Normoyle raised a question, the vegetative issue of strife; these parties
should consider solving these issues, so they can have a resolve. Come up with measures for a matter of
peaceful resolution to everyone’s benefit.
Mr. Normoyle’s questioning raised this issue and bring about some
resolution; I’m all for that. Ms. Adler
asks if there is anything to can do to resolve this. Mr. Cross states that we need to adjourn to
find the legality.
Mr. Wenk made a motion
to temporarily adjourn the public hearing of case SPR# 21-0162D 2nd:
Judith Kerman Aye: All
Ms. Kerman states that we need to keep the audience
muted. Ms. Gray explained what she does
in efforts to do that with the email containing the Zoom invite. Mr. Wenk states we will have hang ups. Ms. Gray states she will get a memo to Ms.
Casciaro next week for this case.
DISCUSSION:
Critically
Environmental Areas #3:
Collaboration on CEAs in the Town of Woodstock
and Moving Forward
(starts at 7:35 pm)
Present: Julia
Blelock, Ingrid Haeckel Alex Bolotow
NOTES: Mr. Cross
thanked Ms. Gray for scheduling this. He
states CEAs are overwhelming priorities and strengthening our preservation of
these areas is the goal. He would like
to align with the WEC and directly apply this to the comp plan. On the EAF form, it asks is the proposed
action in concert with the Comp. Plan.
Mr. Cross thinks it is very important because it is the reason for
updating the Comp. Plan; and at this point the question on the EAF is in
regards to State CEAs only. He took a
course NYPF (New York Planning Federation) and it said that the duties of the
Planning Board is to conduct ongoing reviews of the comp plan. We use this for subdivisions and site plan
reviews. On the application it asks for
critical environmental areas to be identified.
I would like to dedicate the April 29 meeting to the comp plan contents
with criteria in mind, considering creating a new district for CEAs. The Planning Board would like your feedback
in this on the what, where, why and hows.
Along with these Hudsonia layers, NRI created a list. I’m hoping that Judy can use the Hudsonia
maps to create these layers in a map as a guide we can use. In New Paltz, this came up and we want to be
proactive. The objective is creating and
submitting something by the end of the workshop meeting to give to the Town
Board. He turned the floor over to Ms.
Haeckel. Ms. Haeckel introduced
herself. She states that the SEQR and
EAF forms question CEA and if it becomes an area of impact and
significance. There is a conservation
overlay tool. Through SEQR it ensures
during the review and doesn’t restrict in any way; just taken into
account. In a broader conservation
overlay zone with specific restrictions for density and regulations or
designated to habitat areas. An example is
the scenic overlay district with the steep slopes. The question is pursuing in latter
approach. Define the resources in
particular. Examples being water
resources, habitat related resources, corridors, etc. This is my initial thoughts. Ms. Kerman states we found that just recently
with the Chestnut Hill property will be developed. The ZEO sends this to us. This needs to involve communication among all
of us. She says to Ms. Haeckel I think
we are thinking about what we need to protect, but we need to know people own
this property. Ms. Haeckel replies there
is a strong wetlands law in Woodstock.
She asks Mr. Cross in Planning Board experience what are other… Mr.
Cross states in subdivisions with the current zoning its only if there is
wetlands acreage and a septic approval.
Ms. Kerman adds it’s a limited resource to protect that property. Conservation requirement she asks. Mr. Cross states no steep sloped and
wetlands. Mr. Cross continues in New
Paltz, there is a well head and aquifer protection in place. What can we or can we not do in that
area. In the build out analysis, we
really need to look at conserving. If a
subdivision comes before us, we don’t have anything to restrict. Ms. Haeckel states there are conservation
subdivision regulations. Optional items
are CEAs, overlay zones, mandatory review process, etc. In the Town of Warwick there is a
concentration subdivision regulations.
Mr. Cross asks if this falls within the regulation. Ms. Haeckel replies yes, about fifteen years
ago, an overlay zone was created to keep larger zones in tact. Major subdivisions can show habitat
assessment and/or conservation subdivision, to kick in as well. In the Town of Rhinebeck, there is a Natural
Resource Checklist and a pre-application meeting to go through the checklist
and discuss what is on the property and a conservation layout. This is before anything is submitted
formally. Mr. Cross asks Ms. Blelock and
the WEC if there are areas that need protection. Ms. Blelock states for the deeply forested
and wetlands, we have laws. We, the WEC,
as a group should look at these. Mr.
Cross states Ms. Haeckel brought up corridors, the lands in between; wildlife
corridors. Ms. Bolotow states there are
ecological areas are better than contiguous, has a corridor spurt. A cluster can benefit. She says to Ms. Blelock we should talk about
this and get back to the PB. Ms. Maxanne
Resnick states the WLC can help out, too.
We have great resources. The WEC
has a conservation plan and climate change impacts. We want to create a balance of conserving
different ecosystems. Agricultural lands
to be saved and create connectivity to parcels.
The quality of Sawkill, a municipal area. How do we protect that stream in ways and
report on the town website. Mr. Cross
states the watercourses are very critical.
Woodstock is experiencing growth.
They are overcoming the obstacles and developing the undeveloped. Ms. Resnick adds people are just doing
things. How can we be an eye on all
corners of the town; it’s a problem. Mr.
Cross states if we can, we can identify and we might be able to limit
development. Ms. Kerman states she will
study the maps and Ms. Haeckel information.
This is what these maps are for.
Ms. Blelock states wildlife corridors can help us. Ms. Haeckel states she would be happy to
arrange another meeting to do that, to delineate the CEAs. We can get technical assistance from
Hudsonia. There are Hudson River Estuary
Grants available. You could use that
money to hire an attorney to create conservation overlay zones. The attorney could take care of the language
and fine tuning and delineating the areas.
Ms. Resnick states on these programs, I think the applicant has to
outlay the money, then be refunded. Ms.
Haeckel states it’s something to look into.
There is a Grant Administrator for Open Space Plan and address
conservation. Ms. Resnick states it
would be worth consulting with the folks in Warwick. Mr. Cross states we have the layers; Ms.
Kerman with the help of the WEC and WLC put together criteria to create these
areas or limit these areas to preserve.
Extra scrutiny to preserve these areas.
Ms. Blelock states when problems arise, we are trying to be prepared and
have tools. Mr. Cross replied yes and we
don’t. Ms. Haeckel states planning and
community support would engage and be beneficial. Engaging community in discussion to find the
areas that are worth protection. To have
strong community support there would be many benefits to the comp plan. Mr. Cross asked if there were any other towns
that adopted something like this. Ms.
Resnick states with Covid, things have changed a lot. We should ask Ms. Haeckel when the town is
contemplating these things. Could there
be a moratorium? Ms. Haeckel responded not in this, like solar power. There was a realization that the current
zoning isn’t adequate. Mr. Cross states
he certainly appreciates everyone’s input and looks forward to getting ideas
from everyone. To get something in place
before the next year or so would be great.
It’s never too late. On the
buildout analysis in the comp plan, it’s a finite number. Ms. Belock asked are we developing a map of
these. Mr. Cross replied that would be
the idea; to use the protections and apply them. So much needs to be protected. I’d like to use our workshop to put together
a proposal to adjust the comp plan to present to the Town Board. Everyone is welcome to attend our workshop
meeting. Ms. Blelock and Ms. Haeckel
state great. Ms. Kerman asks about the
date of the DEC webinar, March 29. Mr.
Cross replies yes. Ms. Kerman states
that developable lots to add to maps could be very useful. Mr. Cross states he thinks we have to contact
who did the comp plan. Ms. Kerman
suggests tax parcels, sizes, etc. Mr.
Cross states we’ll see if we can find it.
Ms. Kerman states we could get a good picture. Mr. Cross states this is a good start and ask
if the PB has any input. Mr. LaValle
states that the problem is we sound like we are giving the developers a sketch
plan. Mr. Cross states we have to keep
one step ahead. Ms. Kerman states that
why she used the term taking; interesting legal situation. Mr. Cross states that an example is the
Riverby Greenbelts that are around all these lots. Jerry Wapner presented that. They did it all on their own. Mr. LaValle asks how many developers nowadays
have his integrity. Mr. Cross states not
now. Mr. LaValle states that is his
concern. Mr. Cross states we have some
resolutions to get to. Mr. Lipkind
states he agrees with Judy (Ms. Kerman) as always. Ms. Haeckel states she will follow up with
the specific towns. Mr. Cross thanked
her for her help.

at 128 Newcut Road in Bearsville; and
WHEREAS, the parcel is designated on the Tax Map of the Town
of Woodstock as Section 15.4, Block 5, Lot 5; and
WHEREAS, the following plans and materials were reviewed by
the Planning Board:
1)
Special Use Permit application received 1/19/2021, including Town of Woodstock Short Environmental Assessment Form
(EAF), received 2/8/21, and Referral from
Zoning Enforcement Officer (ZEO), received 1/19/21;
2)
Copy of Plot Plan including Notes, Plans, Lighting
Layout, Elevations / Sections, and Details & Trim Options prepared by Richard Miller Architecture
and Clapper Structural Engineering PLLC dated November 3, 2020 showing Site
Plan of land and site for proposed conversion including elevations listed, product
information depicting the Pella windows
beings used, plans, details for all windows and doors to be used and
photographs of views from all angles;
WHEREAS, in accordance with SEQRA 6 NYCRR Part 617.5(c)(9),
and by reference to
TWEQR,
the proposed action is considered a Type II Action for which a SEQR review
& determination are not necessary; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to General Municipal Law Sections
239(l)(m)(n) and the referral exemption criteria as agreed to in the Memorandum
of Agreement signed January 2009 with the Town of Woodstock Planning Board,
referral to the Ulster County Planning Board (UCPB) was deemed unnecessary as
the proposed action does not exceed thresholds requiring referral; and
WHEREAS, in
accordance with Woodstock Town Code Chapter 65, Environmental Quality Review (TWEQR), copies of the application and
Short EAF were offered to the Woodstock Environmental Commission (WEC) for its
review. No WEC comments were received with respect to the proposed action; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Town of Woodstock
Zoning Law, no Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) variances were required for the
proposed action; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to Woodstock Town Code Section 260-77A (7) & (8) and Section
260-66A, the Planning Board can request further documentation in preserving the
scenic overlay and protecting the integrity of the landscape.
WHEREAS, a sketch review of the application was held on
February 18, 2021, at which time the Planning Board (PB) reviewed details of
and submitted materials for the proposed conversion in the Scenic Overlay
District. PB determined the application was substantially complete and decided
to waive a public hearing due to the minor scope of this proposal; and
WHEREAS, the
Planning Board approved this resolution at the meeting of March 4, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the
Planning Board has reviewed the application and relevant materials and
documentation submitted, and has also taken into account its knowledge of the
site and the surrounding neighborhood;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE
IT RESOLVED, That with regard
to the Arline J. Lederman and Edward Friedman SUP #21-0582, the Planning Board
makes the following determinations for construction of a single family dwelling
in the Scenic Overlay District:
1.
No
Zoning Board of Appeals variances were necessary for proposed action to comply
with the Area & Bulk Regulations of Town of Woodstock Zoning Law.
2.
The
proposal is a Type II Action under SEQRA Part 617.5(c)(9) as it involves
“construction…of a single family residence on an approved lot including
provisions for necessary utility connections…and installation of…drinking water
well and septic system”;
3.
Section
260-66(A) of Woodstock Zoning Law has been reviewed and the following findings
are made:
a.)
Extensive cut and fill activities are not planned. Minimal or no tree removal
is planned and the proposed
structure will not be visually conspicuous; therefore, a vegetation restoration plan is not
needed.
b.)
The Scenic Overlay section of the Zoning Law requires that chosen building
materials, colors and textures blend well with the natural environment.
c.) The project must respect natural drainage ways,
contours and landforms and the Planning Board finds that proposed action meets
these objectives. The area of disturbance is minimal and is not expected to
exceed thresholds requiring an additional stormwater prevention plan.
d.) The law prohibits development along and/or
projecting above ridgelines or in a visually prominent area. The proposal is in
the existing footprint with smaller than a 300 sq. ft. addition and was deemed
by the Planning Board that the area of disturbance is not located on an escarpment
or ridge, and structure is not located in a visually prominent area. Due to
existing vegetative buffers, the location of the proposed action and its
topography, the use of materials, colors and textures that blend well with the
environment, and that proposed exterior lighting will be shielded and
“dark-skies” compliant and cast downward, the Planning Board finds that the
modifications to the site will be
visually inconspicuous.
e.) The project must maintain natural buffers or other
vegetative screening between land uses, developed areas and public roadways.
Due to the minimal scope of the
proposal, the existing natural buffers and vegetative screening will be
maintained.
f.) The law requires that outdoor lighting fixtures in
the Scenic Overlay District be shielded. A “dark-skies” compliant, shielded
light fixture sample will be required. Lighting will be required to be
down-cast to avoid spread onto neighboring properties.
g.) The applicant is required to minimize tree-cutting
activities. Proposed conversion confirms tree-cutting will be
minimized.
4.
Location,
size and intensity of the proposed action are in keeping with existing
residential uses/clearings in the area. Adequate natural buffers are being
maintained between land uses. The character and appearance of the proposed
action is in general harmony with other approved actions in this vicinity and
the Scenic Overlay District; Be it Further
RESOLVED, That the Planning Board hereby grants approval to the Arline J.
Lederman and Edward Friedman application for Special Use Permit (SUP) #21-0582,
subject to the conditions cited
below:
1.
Four
(4) complete copies of site plan and building elevations including the Town of
Woodstock Bulk Regulations, with compliance statement signed by the applicants
included on plans, shall be submitted for endorsement by the Planning Board.
2.
The
Final Development Fee of $200, in accordance with Section 1.62 of the Town of
Woodstock Development Fee Schedule, shall be paid prior to Planning Board
endorsement of final plans; Be it Further
RESOLVED, That Special Use
Permit (SUP) #21-0582 shall be issued under
the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall adhere to the final signed and
filed Site Plan and exterior elevations. Any and all future modifications shall
conform to and comply with all applicable sections of the Town of Woodstock
Zoning Law.
2. Exterior lighting, materials and colors shall be as
specified herein, or applicant shall request Planning Board approval of any
modifications; Be it Further
RESOLVED,

expire if the approved activity is
not commenced or diligently pursued within twelve (12) months of the date of
this Resolution; Be it Further
RESOLVED, That any alteration or deviation from the final
signed plans shall require the prior
review and approval by the Planning Board, and shall comply with the
requirements of Section 260-66 of the Zoning Law; Be it Further
RESOLVED, That this Resolution shall be deemed to authorize
only one particular use as defined herein and as delineated on the filed
final plans; Be it Finally
RESOLVED, That failure to comply with any of the conditions
set forth herein shall be deemed a violation of this approval, which may cause
the revocation of said approval, or the revocation by the Building Inspector of
