Goshen planning board approves May 16 minutes, grants project extensions

The Goshen Town Planning Board approved revised minutes for its May 16, 2024 meeting and addressed several requests to extend existing application approvals.

At the start of the meeting the board voted to approve the May 16, 2024 minutes “as revised this evening,” after members called out date and name corrections. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

Under “possible extension or abandonment of applications pursuant to town code,” the board considered a six-month extension request from Lord Inn Enterprises LLC (Northern Bear Pet Food Supply) for conditional amended site-plan approval. Counsel’s letter requested the extension to allow the applicant to revise plans in response to town consultant comments; staff noted a six-month extension would extend the approval to April 16, 2026. A motion to grant the extension carried on a voice vote.

The board also reviewed a written notice from 17 M Flex Building (submitted by John Capello, Esq.) confirming the applicant granted the planning board additional time to consider its application through November 2025. Because that was a written authorization to extend the review period, board staff reported no formal action was required.

Actions recorded at the meeting matched the motions read into the record: approval of minutes and the requested extension for Lord Inn Enterprises.

The board noted other minutes listed on the agenda would be taken up at a later date.
