Goshen planning board grants three six‑month extensions for pending projects
Summary
The Goshen Planning Board approved six‑month extensions for projects at 1049 Pulaski Avenue, the Millmar Foods site and the Goshen Estates/Traskis application; votes were routine and without substantive debate.
The Goshen Planning Board on June 6 approved six‑month extensions for three development approvals, moving the expiration dates for each project into December 2025.
Board members voted to extend conditional approvals for: 1049 Pulaski Avenue (requested by engineer Peter Zack & Pfau on behalf of David Dworski), the Millmar Foods conditional amended special permit and site plan, and the Goshen Estates LLC (Traskis) conditional final approval. The extensions were requested in writing and were approved after staff confirmed outstanding items or ongoing reviews.
The extensions preserve each applicant's existing approvals while remaining outstanding engineering, permitting or financing issues are addressed. For 1049 Pulaski Avenue, town staff reported Orange County Department of Public Works entrance approval had been received and staff will follow normal consultant review and then prepare a letter to the chairman if conditions are satisfied. Millmar Foods' extension request cited stormwater revisions and a pending State DEC renewal of a permit; the applicant asked the board to extend the project's conditional approvals by 180 days. Goshen Estates LLC said ongoing engineering discussions and talks with potential lenders prompted the extension request.
All three motions carried after brief board confirmation that outstanding items would be reviewed; board members asked staff to continue processing consultant comments and to notify applicants of any required follow‑up. The board did not add substantive new conditions during the votes.
