Board sets May and July meeting dates; staff previews Cashmere and Bailey Road projects
Summary
Planning board reached consensus on May 7 and July 8 meeting dates, staff announced a Cashmere community meeting in April for a mixed‑use project and outlined outstanding staff comments on the Bailey Road proposal, including road improvements, recreation siting and pedestrian crossings.
The Cornelius Planning Board reached a consensus at its March 10 meeting to replace the tentative May 12 meeting with May 7 and to hold the July meeting on July 8. Board members asked staff to notify members who were not present.
Staff also announced an upcoming community meeting for a proposed mixed‑use project called "Cashmere" at the hard corner of Bethel Church Road and (Teton) Extension; staff said the developer plans about 2,000 square feet of ground‑floor commercial space with 14 condominiums above and ground‑level parking and that a community meeting will be held in April at 6:00 p.m. in Town Hall. Staff said they have not yet issued formal comments on a resubmittal and that scheduling to a planning board date will depend on how quickly the applicant addresses staff comments.
On the Bailey Road proposal, staff summarized major outstanding items flagged in review comments: showing proposed road improvements and off‑site mitigation (including improvements at the existing intersection of 115 and Bailey Road), clarifying building footprints and architectural details, reconsidering placement of recreational uses (pickleball court, dog park) and exploring potential partnerships to site recreational amenities at Bailey Road Park instead, and confirming whether prior commitments to share parking on an adjacent private lot remain part of the proposal. Staff said they requested a pedestrian crossing across the bridal (described in a prior case as a rectangular rapid flashing beacon) and clarification as to whether a HAWK signal was being considered.
Staff noted that the Bailey Road resubmittal has not yet been received and that timing for scheduling to an upcoming planning board hearing is uncertain; staff said comments would be issued to the applicant and would guide the next submittal.
Ending: Staff asked a board member (Rochelle) to circulate meeting‑date notices to absent members and said it would share formal review comments to applicants once issued.
