Quarrystone LLC seeks amended site plan for truck storage and office spaces on Quarry Road

During the Planning Board Meeting held on August 7, 2025, in Goshen, NY, the board addressed an application from Quarrystone LLC for an amended site plan approval concerning a property located on Quarry Road. The proposal involves the storage of trucks and office space on approximately two acres in a designated HC zone.

Jim Dylan, representing Quarrystone LLC, provided an overview of the site’s history. Originally approved in February 2016 for a spray foam business, the site has undergone changes due to the previous tenant's business closure following an injury in the early 2020s. Dylan explained that attempts to rent out parts of the property led to unauthorized modifications, including the installation of dividing walls, which were not covered under the original application.

The board noted that the site had accumulated a significant number of vehicles and debris over the years, leading to a violation issued in February 2024 for failing to secure building permits for the internal alterations. Dylan acknowledged the violation and described efforts to rectify the situation, emphasizing that the site is currently operational with necessary utilities like well and septic systems.

A notable concern raised during the meeting was the filling of an area behind the building, which has been gradually filled over the past eight years. The board sought clarification on the nature of the fill, questioning whether it consisted of construction debris or soil. This aspect of the discussion highlights ongoing environmental considerations and regulatory compliance that the board must address as they evaluate the amended site plan.

As the meeting progressed, the board initiated the SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act) process, which is essential for assessing the potential environmental impacts of the proposed changes. The outcome of this review will be crucial in determining the future of the Quarrystone LLC site and its compliance with local zoning regulations.

In conclusion, the discussions surrounding Quarrystone LLC's amended site plan reflect broader themes of regulatory oversight, environmental responsibility, and the challenges of adapting existing commercial properties to meet current needs. The board's next steps will involve a thorough review of the application and its implications for the community.
