Planning board approves conditional permit, issues negative SEQR declaration for Goren timber harvest

The Hyde Park Planning Board voted to grant a conditional special‑use permit and approve the site plan for the Goren timber harvest at 959 Violet Avenue, finding the project "will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts" and issuing a negative declaration under SEQR. The board’s approval includes a requirement that harvesting not begin until the applicant provides any required New York State Department of Transportation highway work permits to the zoning administrator.
