The application concerns a 2.065-acre lot on Houston Road in an RU zone with AQ-3 and Scenic Road corridor overlays. Staff and the applicant said an as-built survey showed a garage/carriage-house approach encroached several feet into the originally established no-build buffer. Planning staff prepared a draft Part 2 Environmental Assessment Form and recommended the amended subdivision approval to document and resolve the encroachment; the board accepted the Part 2 and issued a negative declaration.

Public commenters and one board member raised concerns that allowing a reduced buffer for this lot could set a precedent and urged stronger on-site enforcement in the future. Several residents asked whether other additions, pools or sheds on nearby lots had been built without permits and pressed the board to require surveys before construction. Board members and staff discussed this enforcement concern at length; staff said there was no evidence of intentional encroachment and that the firm hired an architect who may have erred in staking. The board emphasized that future cases with evidence of intentional disregard would be handled differently.

The board revised the draft resolution to explicitly limit the reduced no-build buffer to the area shown on the submitted map (a jog specific to the Bachman lot) and to keep the other conditions of the prior resolution in effect. The amended resolution requires the applicant to prepare a subdivision plat acceptable to Orange County and to obtain a letter from the town engineer confirming the plat is in proper order before the plat is signed and filed.

By voice vote the board approved the resolution of conditional final approval for Justin and Tavi Bachman. The transcript records the motions and aye voice votes but no roll-call tallies.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Goshen Planning Board Meeting February 6, 2025.","oneSentenceSummary","The Goshen Planning Board approved an amended subdivision for the Bachman lot after concluding the board's environmental review and limiting a reduced no-build buffer to the specific area shown on the applicant's plan.","taxTitle","Goshen, Orange County, New York","taxId",55277,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668042,"Planning Board waives 62-day review period for Northern Bear Pet Food Supply",75,545000,620000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6&start=545&end=620","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6/thumbnail_545000.jpg","/articles/6668042/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Planning-Board-waives-62-day-review-period-for-Northern-Bear-Pet-Food-Supply","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668042-24d91ea0a7337f6e7b3c193a7d266ac6/orig.mp4?Expires=1776036638&Signature=AlPi9yTaNBbwmIUaeRPJYD5SKockjzYPsWQfGRp0H5So99xxMV9GcRcaOVJZNiuVfbJcEETPkBa0RX1-XrASnlBtVw2KShhgiJTfFbL5B8NKkGTdRwwXrqvwQ-kD-RjAUNPjk1R3pBjftvsVVuYpzoBHTwYsaqtPqKzre~7s-YY8Y7ZBFFMzIA0ib~TBOxJlu7lUi6ObwsarYxH3~~WdO4hLudV0sHHxvmNcsadeZ8i7WSU2cG2b83cv7JxXxmVQKL91trDH~Tun8zQL-9o-gKUB9cUfdrMzK03tkR0rJH28MQSfBZbluSf0rrjtvRuavYrDMCzzZYTno76p0eHhJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Planning Board acknowledged a letter from Pietrozak and Pfau, signed by Vincent Pietrozak on Jan. 22, 2025, requesting that the board waive the 62-day statutory review period for the Lardon Enterprises LLC application (Northern Bear Pet Food Supply).

Planning staff explained the applicant's public hearing was closed on Dec. 19, 2024, and the submission to the zoning board of appeals was expected in February. The applicant asked the planning board to waive the 62-day clock to allow coordination while the zoning appeal proceeds.

A motion to acknowledge and grant the waiver was made and approved by voice vote. The board recorded that the 62-day time frame had been waived; no roll-call tally was entered in the transcript.","The board acknowledged a letter requesting a waiver of the 62-day review period for the Lardon Enterprises/Northern Bear Pet Food Supply application and granted the waiver to allow the applicant time to proceed to the ZBA agenda.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668045,"Planning Board extends Silhouette Farm conditional approval to Aug. 7, 2025",189,357000,546000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6&start=357&end=546","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6/thumbnail_357000.jpg","/articles/6668045/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Planning-Board-extends-Silhouette-Farm-conditional-approval-to-Aug-7-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668045-bf980cac3d87b5a2c0fc0631e0c204d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1776036638&Signature=lKp417aSHXMS0fpKod-HFyIo8ZZveF6Y-ycxxgG4Q1tSYniyhMXZxz5CVOJruOQcQ10qhepETiGiJH18jIx~-hW-YD6R3NV9h-9Lz9PChvGTSi4YVaAAv7nxyGoNcP3Pnh3ix6-vhT-KmavQFZounwwe1XEgflzaDOvFwgBP6iTk1ioy0xGI8ZXjVZVSNbphWDFDKoMoATRmmJVc1jE9Hv63MiP-jOh7SEZ0aiC4X15c9q9jaBY550FlWC6MZlgDC-93JOrZuMyhWHeJQC8aVY6Y85TYSiIBsWCyETQhUc5mAhpn7IFRLIw9qIWYEmfwwWPwBmCkV~CZIr67ookweA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Planning Board voted to extend conditional subdivision approval for Silhouette Farm through Aug. 7, 2025.

The extension was requested in a letter dated Jan. 17, 2025 from Hometown Engineering that said the project's original approval was granted Jan. 6, 2022, and that the owners' intent for the lot has not changed but current financial conditions and interest rates have delayed building. The letter asked the board to grant another 180-day extension of the conditional approval.

Planning staff noted the board had previously granted a 30-day extension at its Jan. 2 meeting and received the written request that evening. After brief board discussion about the single-lot nature of the subdivision, a motion was made and approved to extend the conditional approval to Aug. 7, 2025.

No vote roll call was recorded in the minutes; the board adopted the extension by voice vote. The applicant was reminded that further steps (preparing a plat acceptable to Orange County and any required engineering reviews) remain before a final filing can occur.

The vote concludes the board's timing decision; the underlying reasons cited in the applicant's letter were financial conditions and high interest rates, and no further regulatory changes were made that evening.","The Goshen Planning Board approved a 180-day extension of conditional subdivision approval for Silhouette Farm, citing continued intent to build but financial delays; the extension runs to Aug. 7, 2025.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668030,"Planning Board takes initial steps on Student Bus Company site plan; raises traffic, well, septic and fuel questions",1335,2595000,3930000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6&start=2595&end=3930","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6/thumbnail_2595000.jpg","/articles/6668030/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Planning-Board-takes-initial-steps-on-Student-Bus-Company-site-plan-raises-traffic-well-septic-and-fuel-questions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668030-27839d0b5f576702d2764e10e22f4d66/orig.mp4?Expires=1776036638&Signature=lDk~oB~nhYYH~gMInmrvDrMudYcbgyIju4R~k0GbnUACu~Beg37YCqHVc9yaaKN9rh4c-Lb1HvfO4Rw52crsjx8F2OIp0nJwubCtIkj67aMr9pPIbIfuXsUHTaXNLeuB2J-IsigO6jVwpO50SPdLUlPSQtyZRjvaymxk43VFO2U68mzmrCXPOEa6mzf5xvICas~pkqZU~97g62HBOAW9yT2TtHdSgLd2hfXMfuZJDEH8DmHxqGaupAEB-TJEZHc-ipcG7Uy0VYojajDzeiENhxJcoG5mh3QAXZPHX8lp6~lSw3i1l4LCaDoz~g5wrJ~ng0HrC6eN4hYi-xJazNhKTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Planning Board declared its intent to serve as lead agency under SEQRA and accepted the Student Bus Company site-plan application as an unlisted action for a proposed bus terminal and maintenance facility on Industrial Drive. The board held an initial presentation and discussed engineering, environmental and operational issues but did not approve construction.

Applicant representatives including Anthony Tortiano of Fometown Engineering, Matt Kuehl (vice president, Student Bus Company), project attorney John Fellows and construction consultant Gary Kuehl presented a plan to operate about 25 long buses and 11 short buses from roughly 2.5 acres of a 3.4-acre parcel. The applicant said the lessee intends eventually to purchase the required parcel but is leasing now; the site plan application focuses on the leased area and proposed uses.

Planning staff and board members raised multiple technical questions that must be resolved before a hearing or approval: confirmation from the health department on the existing well location and its suitability for operations; structural evaluation of an existing septic tank and leach field that underlie proposed parking and gravel areas; fuel storage capacity and containment for diesel refueling (applicants said tanks are typically under thresholds that would trigger heightened DEC requirements and that double containment/skid tanks are planned); stormwater and runoff management for bus parking and wash activities; parking layout and circulation given peak-morning vehicle movements; site distance and traffic impacts at the Industrial Drive/NY 17A intersection; and whether a lot-line adjustment rather than a separate subdivision might streamline approvals and address existing unpermitted contractor storage on the adjacent parcel.

The board advised the applicant to: obtain confirmation from the health department on the well; expose and test the septic tank and obtain any necessary structural remediation; provide traffic information for the 17A intersection to the town's traffic reviewer; clarify fuel tank size and operations on Part 1 of the EAF; and consider a lot-line adjustment or formal lot line change so the leased area aligns with town code measurements. The board voted to declare intent to serve as lead agency and classified the project as an unlisted action under SEQRA; the applicant was instructed to submit a revised EAF and additional documents so the board can prepare mailings for a public hearing.

No final approvals were granted; the board emphasized safety and operational questions (septic tank loading, well protection, fuel containment, circulation, and idling restrictions) that applicants must address before the board will schedule a public hearing and take further action.","The board accepted lead agency for an unlisted action and held an initial review of a proposed 3.4-acre bus terminal and maintenance site; staff and board raised questions about well location, septic loading, fuel storage, parking, traffic and possible lot-line adjustment before a public hearing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668033,"Gurna subdivision: planning board adopts Part 2, issues negative declaration and sets Feb. 20 public hearing",330,2200000,2530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6&start=2200&end=2530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245706-f93c105f781af55f9612d00286240cd6/thumbnail_2200000.jpg","/articles/6668033/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Gurna-subdivision-planning-board-adopts-Part-2-issues-negative-declaration-and-sets-Feb-20-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668033-817669cea06a7d7f76c4f1292f6d9c3e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776036638&Signature=IePUEEHht-JyEzjTA1XqEmHtlDSLa-l7YLCzSE4aXBQS9Pxz9bXW1CcZOrYLClYhJr8qoGqIC8E1JUNFBWIAYrk8tnDUKIGCyt~K6WCEKkKISX8hAQawGGc0sX51UO1r~bwLFHxhZk~2uqAGLA-8dJ~bMBSjkKG-VULE7qwVWyDdTia9kkIslehduSkBNw6b2YetDqNRzaaoqZQB~VIOB3hThzX2SLQLx81wMUYJbxHiABWkUoQx3Y6NYHdHCqentfnDPD8D-9qQOmFGPy3EjpnFShB4b8dRN08Mm8RB6ZtJGgZxIArSBbgYxA2jmvSAPUMlq4XsegIhI00XNDwseQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Planning Board reviewed a subdivision application for property along Maple Avenue and Girdle Lane submitted by the applicant represented by MJS Engineering and adopted the Part 2 environmental assessment form (EAF) after staff review.

The applicant presented materials and requested the board re-notice and schedule a public hearing. Staff prepared a Part 2 with two potential small impacts, noting questions about a proposed common driveway and rear lot access. The board accepted the Part 2 and issued a negative declaration under SEQRA.

The board scheduled a public hearing for Feb. 20, 2025, to give the public a formal opportunity to comment. Staff said the applicant must confirm whether Burr Road meets the town's definition of a private road and provide documentation on any previous approvals for the common driveway. The board asked counsel to prepare a maintenance agreement for the common driveway and the applicant agreed to provide the additional materials.

The board also authorized drafting a resolution and directed staff to prepare notices for the re-scheduled hearing.","The board adopted a Part 2 environmental assessment, issued a negative declaration, and scheduled a public hearing for Feb. 20, 2025, for the Gurna subdivision application while noting outstanding submissions and a requested maintenance agreement for a common driveway.","actionData","errors"]
