Planning board approves two temporary trailers for cemetery work at 44 Hillside Avenue
Summary
The Airmont Planning Board granted site approval for two temporary trailers to support construction activity at Harshalung Cemetery (44 Hillside Avenue). The board classified the request as a Type II action under SEQR and approved placement of a construction/break trailer and a self‑contained restroom trailer for up to 18 months.
The Airmont Planning Board approved placement of two temporary trailers at Harshalung Cemetery, 44 Hillside Avenue, to support ongoing construction of small mausoleum structures.
Applicant description: The applicant told the board the request is limited and temporary: one construction trailer to store materials and provide a break area for workers and one self‑contained restroom trailer. Both trailers are permitted by code for temporary use; the applicant reported the units will be self‑contained (freshwater tank and periodic pump‑out) and will not require new plumbing or sewer connections.
Board review and findings: Board members confirmed the trailers meet the code’s temporary‑trailer standards (maximum permitted size per unit and an 18‑month time limit). Staff noted standard conditions: erosion control during construction, site grading and a site restoration plan once the trailers are removed. The board classified the project as a Type II action under SEQR, which requires no further environmental review.
Decision: The board voted to approve the trailers’ location and placement subject to standard site‑work conditions (erosion control, site plan compliance and a cost estimate/bond for site work if required by the building/engineering department). The approval included confirmation that the trailers will be removed within 18 months and that any required inspections by building or health officials shall be completed.
