Mr. Cross states this will come up later.
+ Memorandum from PB to Supervisor McKenna
& Town Board re: Upcoming Budget
Concerns sent Aug 26
+ Email from Supervisor McKenna re: Above Memorandum rec’d Aug 26
Mr. Cross acknowledged. Mr. Lipkind states he would like to
comment. Supervisor McKenna’s response
didn’t really answer the questions. We
want to know where this line is and how much is available and where exactly
this is noted. Without this information,
its kind of hard. Mr. LaValle states he
didn’t answer you, did he. Mr. Lipkind
states he thinks this needs follow up.
Mr. Normoyle states Supervisor McKenna had bemoaned to him in previous
conversation that he was either being incompetent or controlling. I didn’t respond leaning towards the former
given his response and his own words.
There’s a simple solution: this
needs to stop. Mr. LaValle states there
was money to be spent at the Planning Board’s discretion and it is not all
right for him to dictate where and when.
This does not require his permission.
And if he wants to take this there, I will go there. Mr. Cross states so noted.

Mr. Cross acknowledges both Mr. Panza’s emails
and asks the PB if they want to go over this at our next workshop

discuss exactly what Mr. Panza is looking for from them. Ms. Gray thought he was just keeping them in
the loop, but the PB believes he is asking them for something. MS. Gray will reach out to Mr. Panza. PB agree to have this as workshop subject
matter for September 30 meeting.

PM HELLENIC ORTHODOX
TRADITIONALIST CHURCH OF AMERICA, INC. SUP# 21-0479A:
Public Hearing for a Special Use Permit application to create burial
sites in the R5 Zoning District located at 521 Cold Brook Road in Bearsville,
SBL# 36.2-2-16.100 Rep: Alexander Queen & Diane Ferrendino
Present: Alexander
Queen
Motion to open Public Hearing: Peter Cross
2nd: John LaValle Aye: All
Notes: Mr.
Queen states they wrote up a summary of what they are proposing, if it would be
ok to read it. Mr. Cross states of
course. Mr. Queen states they are trying
to create burial sites to make a final resting place for their beloved Bishop
to be buried on the land behind the alter as he wishes. This is the man who built the church. He shows the plans and points to where they
plan to (in the future) build a new church.
At the PB recommendation, we graciously accepted their advice and after
our consideration, we decided to propose several burial sites. Site B is across the street and the picture
explains the placement. The cemetery
will deepen the view. Most visitors
comment on the beauty of that area. Mr.
Cross asks Ms. Gray if there were any public comments. She states two neighbors requested the file,
but no comments. The audience is asked
if anyone is here for this hearing. No
response from the public audience. Mr.
LaValle asks how the gravesites will be marked.
Mr. Queen states we are an Orthodox church and very modest. Nothing bigger than three-four feet tall,
cross shaped, etc. Mr. LaValle asked if
you will be able to view the site. Mr.
Queen states that with it’s topography, you won’t be able to see it. Mr. LaValle thanks him. Mr. Cross states the site plan needs to
denote the burial bites on plot plan to be registered with the County, so there
is a record for the future of the grave sites.
Mr. Lipkind asked about the location of the Bishop’s burial site. Mr. Queen clarifies that it will not be under
a building and will have its own space and not be disturbed.

PM ESTATE OF BETSY STANG
PB# TBD: PRE-Sketch Plan Review of a
possible subdivision of 30 acres into (2) new lots of 25 and 5 acres SBL# TBD
in the R5 Zoning District located at 626 Wittenberg Road in Mount Tremper Rep:
Robert Stang
Present: Robert Stang
Notes: Mr. Cross
read case summary and reminded everyone this is a pre sketch meeting. He asked Mr. Stang to come forward and tell
us what he is proposing. Mr. Stang
states you approved this lot line revision of these three lots previously. He shows the map and states you have seen
this. He shows the PB the map. He continues stating his neighbors, the
Morans own fifty acres. In 1980, he
bought this property with his ex-wife, Betsy.
Whispell Road was a public road and it was abandoned in the 20s or
30s. We were told because it was
abandoned by the town, we took ownership, but my neighbor thinks he has
ownership of it, also. Mr. Cross states
the lot line revision isn’t the problem.
We need Ulster County Board of Health approval for septic and access to
the lot. Mr. Stang states he is here to
discuss the access. Mr. Cross replies
this is a legal matter. We can’t make
those determinations. Mr. Cross read the
deed and tells Mr. Stang it is not theirs on the deed he read. Mr. Stang disagrees. Mr. Cross states it does not refer to that
road. The PB has to make sure it has to
have access and this does not. We can’t
make this legal call. Mr. Stang states
the question is this is a pre sketch meeting and my neighbors and I need to
resolve and whose rights are whose. Mr.
Normoyle states it has to be appropriate and legal. Mr. Lipkind states you have to prove to us
this is an access. Mr. Stang states the
burden of proof is on us. Mr. Cross
states on your deed, it’s not Whispell Road.
You need to show a right of way and prove it legally, prove there is
access. Create a road on your own
land. Mr. Cross points at Mr. Stang’s
map. Mr. Stang states that’s not good
for the community or the land. Mr.
Normoyle states that is your decision to make.
Mr. Lipkind states you’re not there yet, get legal help. Mr. Stang thanks the PB.

PM RICHARD &
JACQELINE ROWLEY SUP# 21-0461A: Sketch
Plan Review of a Special Use Permit application to construct a barn in the
R5 and Scenic Overlay Zoning Districts located at 17 Cross Patch Road in
Willow, SBL# 15.1-1-48 Rep: Joseph Del Villar
Present: Richard Rowley and Joseph Del Villar
Notes: Mr. Cross reads the case summary. Mr. Del Villar states he gave the PB four
sets of plans. Mr. Cross
states it’s a nice looking
barn. We saw the plans. Mr. Rowley explains they are building the
barn because they
have outgrown their house with
their two kids and plan to use it for film making and give the kids space. Mr.
Cross asks if the glazing is within
the 25%. Mr. Del Villar asks what is
that. Mr. Rowley states ok. Mr. Cross
states the exterior lighting needs
to shine down and be dark skies compliant.
Ms. Gray states the glazing
specs need to be on the plans. Mr. Cross continues asking the roof
color. It can’t be reflective. Mr. LaValle
and Mr. Del Villar discuss the
amount of windows and it may be under the 25%.
Mr. Cross asks if they know
what color the roof will be. Mr. Del Villar states a metal roof. Mr. Cross states there is a palette of the
acceptable colors to look at for
the scenic overlay. Ms. Kerman, says not
white, shiny or stainless steel. Mr.
Cross states we will need to do a
site visit. Mr. Rowley tells the PB that
the site is pretty much flat land. Mr.
Cross states that it looks unobtrusive.
Can I get volunteers to be site reps he
asks the PB. There is
conversation among the PB that
recognizes a member in the public audience as a former PB Member. Is that
Tom? Tom shows his face and states he came to help
Rich if he needed it. Mr. Normoyle
states we’ve never
known Tom to be shy. PB Members tell Tom we need a PB member and
ask him to come back. All laugh. Ms.
Gray states if you’re interested,
please get in touch with me. Site
representatives will be James Conrad and
Peter Cross. Mr. Cross asks for it to be staked out. Mr. Rowley states that it is already. Ms. Gray states let
me know if it is ready for a site
visit. Mr. Cross asks if a septic will
be involved. Mr. Rowley replied no
water,
just power.
7:05 PM ANTHONY
NICHOLICH & REBECCA CHAIKLIN PB# 21-1225 & WWP# 21-043: Sketch Plan Review of Lot Line Revision and Wetlands & Watercourse Permit
applications to transfer
±5.53 acres from
SBL# 38.7-5-25, originally ± 26.57 acres to SBL# 38.6-4-70, originally ± 0.35
acres establishing (2) new lots ± 21.04
and ± 5.88 acres involving a stream crossing and regulated wetland buffer areas
in the R5 Zoning District located at 180-182 Van Dale Road in Woodstock and
Hurley Rep: Katterskill Associates &
Andrade Architecture
Present:
Scott Ouimet of Katterskill Associates
Notes: Mr.
Cross read the case summary and reminded the Planning Board that we had seen
this case prior. The issue is the
wetlands are within the buffer which triggers the need for the a wetlands and
watercourse permit. There is
conversation between Mr. Ouimet and Mr. Cross explaining that the plans, as is,
doesn’t leave enough land to mitigate to obtain the permit. It just doesn’t work within the town of
Woodstock Wetlands Town code. Mr. Ouimet
had thought that the law made it so this was possible and tells the PB that
Army Core has approved his plans. Mr.
LaValle tells Mr. Ouimet that Mr. Cross is saying he can’t do this this
way. Mr. Ouimet states we feel based by
the town law, we can get this to occur.
Mr. Cross replies this is going to be a struggle to get a Wetlands and
Watercourse Permit. The lot line
revision isn’t the issue. We are going
to continue with the process and we will schedule a site visit. The entire road and house are in the buffer.
This is a very sensitive area.
Mitigation would not work with your plans as is because there is not
enough land to mitigate for the wetlands.
Mr. Cross states this is not an existing lot and we ask for you to find
other ways to get there without crossing the buffers and wetlands. Mr. Normoyle states here’s the deal, pre
climate change and climate change and with the migration here, what folks want
to do and what they can do are two different things. Mr. Cross states we will continue with the
process and we will do a site visit.
Please have the site staked out and where the proposed house location
will be. Mr. Ouimet replies that he
doesn’t believe it is staked out. Ms.
Gray tells him to let her know and they will schedule the site visit when that
is done. Ms. Gray asks Mr. Ouimet what
happened with the Town of Hurley. He
states they got the go ahead. Ms. Gray
states she spoke to the CEO over there but wanted to confirm. Mr. Cross explains that the town wetlands
protection trumps all over. We try to
not disturb these sensitive areas. Mr.
Ouimet states they didn’t realize there wasn’t a satisfactory mitigation. Mr. Cross states there is no where left to
mitigate. You are using every inch of
it. We will continue with the permit
process, I’m just letting you know this isn’t going to be easy. Mr. Ouimet states we can look at revising the
lot line to be able to mitigate with more land.
He shows the PB the map and where he could move to with the proposed new
lot line. Ms. Gray states there is an
equal amount of disturbance and land to be mitigated. This is the expectation. Mr. Cross states that is the calculation of
wetlands and buffer disturbance. Mr.
Ouimet states the driveway will be graded. Mr. Cross states I do this for a
living and we really want to make sure the wetlands are protected. Mr. Ouimet states we put in for twelve feet
for the driveway. Mr. Cross states that
if he thinks he can build a driveway without going over twelve feet, it’s not
going to happen. A twelve foot driveway
is actually a sixteen foot driveway. Mr.
Normoyle states a twenty foot disturbance.
Mr. Cross states the land is a tiny little strip. Mr. Lipkind asks if it is staked out. Mr. Ouimet replies he doesn’t think so. The Planning Board representatives are Peter
Cross and Stuart Lipkind. Mr. Cross
states that they will do the best they can but it is a very sensitive
area. Mr. Cross thanks Mr. Ouimet and
tells him to keep in touch with Ms. Gray.
DISCUSSION & COMMENTS:
+ Housing Oversight Task Force Discussion
(Per Judy’s
email)
Notes: Ms. Kerman states
she sent a little document to the Planning Board and she wants to make clear
that they are working on this project.
They are looking at strengths and weaknesses and want to create more
affordable housing in the future. If
anyone has any questions, please address them to Ms. Kerman. Mr. Normoyle thanks Ms. Kerman.

revisions as discussed here for Hellenic Orthodox Church survey map)
Make
motion: Stuart Lipkind 2nd: Brian Normoyle Aye: All
+ Site Visit Update from SUP#
21-0661 de Swaan Arons
Notes: Mr. Cross and Mr.
Lipkind did this site visit and there was no clear cutting as was claimed by
Mr. James Monserrate. Ironically, the
only house we could see his (Monserrate’s) house and it stuck out like a sore
thumb. Mr. Lipkind states that it struck
him that there was a natural screening of the area. The structure is set back. It is low profile, a very reasonable design
and will minimize the viewshed. Mr.
Cross and Mr. Normoyle discuss the neighbor issues with the clear cutting and
legality of topping of trees. Ms. Gray
shows the PB the pictures of the site that Mr. Lipkind took while there. Mr. Normoyle states that the topping of the
trees gave him pause and he was wondering if that was legal. Mr. Cross replies, yeah, it’s not all the way.
It still has to complete the buffers and they can do that. Mr. Normoyle asks Mr. Cross about his take on
Mr. Monserrate. Ms. Gray and Mr. Cross
states he is here, we can ask him. Mr.
Monserrate comes forward. Mr. Monserrate
states you say you can see my house clearly and you can’t. Mr. Cross states it’s not clear cutting, the
ZEO stated it wasn’t, we went and looked and it is not clear cutting. Mr. Monserrate states he clearly cut…
If you look up. Mr.
Normoyle tells him it will be discussed in the public hearing. Mr. Lipkind shows his pictures to Mr.
Normoyle. Mr. Cross states these folks
have gone through quite a lot of trouble to make this scenic overlay
friendly.
