The record does not include a roll‑call result for the adoption motion.

Deputy supervisor (unnamed) reopened the continuation of the public hearing. Planning‑board attorney Kelly Naughton had provided redlined comments and the planning board suggested drafting the law both as a standalone local law and showing how it would look when incorporated into the town code. Board members and members of the public urged either listing common adverse effects of short‑term rentals (noise, parking, trash, inability to reach owners) in the law’s legislative purpose section or keeping the purpose broader with the phrase “including but not limited to.” One board member suggested that a short, illustrative list of common impacts (noise, parking, trash, inability to reach the owner for quick resolution) could help future interpreters of the law; another warned that an overly specific list could constrain future enforcement.

Board members discussed specific drafting items the planning board recommended. A change was proposed to allow an exception to parking restrictions for motor vehicles belonging to house‑sitters, dog sitters or other caretakers who are on site but not occupying the dwelling as short‑term renters. The board also discussed including Swimply and similar pool‑rental platforms in the list of presumptions or examples of rental activity; resident George raised concerns about third‑party vendors and occupancy at private pools. Several members of the public spoke: Bill Troy urged the board to accelerate the process; resident Neil Howard warned about septic, well and fire‑safety concerns in properties that are heavily occupied when not served by municipal sewer and water; Chris Healy asked for greater transparency on a separate proposed commercial water district.

At about 21:50 in the meeting record a motion was made to adopt Introductory Local Law No. 13 of 2024 (to become Local Law No. 4 of 2025) with three additions discussed during the meeting: the planning board’s edits, an explicit mention of Swimply (pool‑rental platforms) as an example/presumption, and the nondwelling parking exception for caretakers. The transcript records the motion being made (mover identified as Melissa) but does not record the final vote tally or roll‑call result on adoption in the available transcript.

What the board directed: board members were asked to submit any drafting suggestions to Mary so the town can compile them; the planning board’s comments will be incorporated as discussed and the board explicitly considered but did not finalize how specific the legislative‑purpose examples should be.

Because the transcript does not include a roll‑call or explicit vote result for the adoption motion, this report does not state that the law was enacted — only that a motion to adopt with the three discussed additions was placed on the record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town Board Meeting July 10, 2025.","oneSentenceSummary","The Town Board of Goshen continued a public hearing on short‑term rentals on July 10, heard public commentary and planning‑board suggestions, and placed a motion to adopt an introductory local law with three additions; the transcript does not show a final vote tally for adoption.","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},6519299,"Town board delays completeness decision on IWS draft environmental impact statement pending ERB input",783,246000,1029000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5361812-4946fb36716828daa2778ee66ed8a552&start=246&end=1029","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5361812-4946fb36716828daa2778ee66ed8a552/thumbnail_246000.jpg","/articles/6519299/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Town-board-delays-completeness-decision-on-IWS-draft-environmental-impact-statement-pending-ERB-input","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519299-c5fe9d31581c6752fcc01fd231acf423/orig.mp4?Expires=1773754234&Signature=buJvJwMkAIQ4DS~I0kmZirEJJozrRgbRSuOS4gTzgK-AZeAceL~juBX~jpMzn-JsRm8Y-c8t~FzwtOxT4sAek8u4Q21QmGps5eh4113D~eEPWYxkohxs0WmltdQ3jkL4NrxBxpbsZJk0~GK21faWB5BH~X0nagpGMqQ~0X4J7hS7XAPLGAxhZa4AVBdXJn~-1aMIJCSgvkkBNauk-dkw~ZVS1zvEopFwoJZzMipgxU6EMYHjGC5XL10MRxPY8FETsYCqwqxjntwJg6aZyKel-smQXCEblVPlAovI0lyqYEffQrIkN9lJlACd63rFVLZVKtnyKZMWPRE1y1O4gV5RHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town Board of Goshen on July 10 discussed whether the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) submitted by the IWS project is sufficiently complete for public review and decided to defer a formal completeness determination to allow the Environmental Review Board (ERB) time to provide written comments.

Sean (staff member) told the board it must determine, under state regulations, whether the DEIS complies with the final written scope the board adopted and whether it provides necessary information for the public and involved agencies to evaluate impacts. He told the board one item of concern is that the applicant has not finished a geotechnical investigation and instead proposed to complete that work later. “It can’t, in my opinion, be left open‑ended with the DEIS,” Sean said, and recommended requiring either a test plan or a specific trigger for when the geotechnical work and any required remediation will occur.

The board was reminded that the state regulations establish a 45‑day deadline for the lead agency to make a completeness determination; with the DEIS submitted on June 16, that deadline falls on July 31. Sean advised the board to allow the ERB to finish and transmit its comments and said he would circulate his memo to the ERB and the applicant.

Board members asked whether the determination should be made at this meeting or at the next meeting; Sean recommended waiting until the next meeting so the ERB can advise the board. The board discussed options to give the ERB more time, including scheduling a special meeting between July 24 and July 31, but Sean cautioned that if the applicant resubmits a revised DEIS the board would have 30 days to act on the resubmission. He emphasized that any grounds for finding the DEIS incomplete must be provided to the applicant in writing and that, if the board finds it inadequate, that finding must be in writing.

The board also discussed a few substantive concerns raised by members, including handling of unauthorized waste identified in the DEIS materials and the applicant’s stated plan for its removal. Members were instructed to submit any written comments to Mary so the board can compile and forward them to the applicant and the ERB.

The board did not make a formal completeness determination at the July 10 meeting. Sean said his expectation is the board is “likely going to say that it’s inadequate,” but he and the board members agreed to wait for the ERB’s written input and for the applicant to respond before issuing a written determination.

What happens next: the board will receive written comments from the ERB (and any additional board comments submitted through Mary), will circulate Sean’s memo to the ERB and applicant, and will take up a formal completeness determination at a future meeting before the regulatory deadline.","The Town Board of Goshen on July 10 discussed whether the draft environmental impact statement for the proposed IWS project is sufficient for public review and agreed to delay a formal completeness determination so the Environmental Review Board can finish written comments.",{"_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},6519290,"Votes at a glance: Town board records a series of routine approvals and a few policy motions",68,2762000,2830000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5361812-4946fb36716828daa2778ee66ed8a552&start=2762&end=2830","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5361812-4946fb36716828daa2778ee66ed8a552/thumbnail_2762000.jpg","/articles/6519290/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Votes-at-a-glance-Town-board-records-a-series-of-routine-approvals-and-a-few-policy-motions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519290-9c5bfc85e0a718acba21b2627d6a2221/orig.mp4?Expires=1773754234&Signature=UqhxvWmgRJP3pL3gj4Bvi5O2ssNCfaW07hb~47G9Ro9mtRsP4RfGyH7Y1CF4NAE6VeZmiPlYiyz-RZ11SbGeq4pWjYHdCevZ1hoeDjJqhvzgNTqQfulkxTqB5zoU5e~UEHJjWI3RD109L6KbAXrT0y92L6-44X3fY~6aZZLi-491lyMS5jhldbYuq5MaSbjVZVkvxJj~I1J8phjeACoCPPPK2uGRMFFCFerSWCM7ov5i3MHVlp~vUCNQjuJ9hoYZxm04uaYtIAIN6U-aHzxGRHrzoRyUO9vFHrd0GIoRSTgUs1OCGayyc5FlnpGSfsoHIVoJnL2mBw7x4-W~nHDm2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","This summary lists formal motions and recorded outcomes captured in the July 10 Town Board meeting transcript.
