Planning Board extends Silhouette Farm conditional approval to Aug. 7, 2025
Summary
The Goshen Planning Board approved a 180-day extension of conditional subdivision approval for Silhouette Farm, citing continued intent to build but financial delays; the extension runs to Aug. 7, 2025.
The Goshen Planning Board voted to extend conditional subdivision approval for Silhouette Farm through Aug. 7, 2025.
The extension was requested in a letter dated Jan. 17, 2025 from Hometown Engineering that said the project's original approval was granted Jan. 6, 2022, and that the owners' intent for the lot has not changed but current financial conditions and interest rates have delayed building. The letter asked the board to grant another 180-day extension of the conditional approval.
Planning staff noted the board had previously granted a 30-day extension at its Jan. 2 meeting and received the written request that evening. After brief board discussion about the single-lot nature of the subdivision, a motion was made and approved to extend the conditional approval to Aug. 7, 2025.
No vote roll call was recorded in the minutes; the board adopted the extension by voice vote. The applicant was reminded that further steps (preparing a plat acceptable to Orange County and any required engineering reviews) remain before a final filing can occur.
The vote concludes the board's timing decision; the underlying reasons cited in the applicant's letter were financial conditions and high interest rates, and no further regulatory changes were made that evening.
