Planning Board roundup: minutes approved, subdivision extensions granted, multiple hearings set
Summary
The board approved several sets of minutes, extended preliminary approvals for multiple subdivisions to 2026 dates, and scheduled public hearings (including Roger Mansion and multiple site plans) after receiving study requests for traffic, wells and Part 2 SEQR materials.
At its December 4 meeting the Goshen Planning Board handled routine business and several procedural actions before moving on to contested projects.
Minutes: The board approved minutes for meetings dating 09/04/2025, 09/18/2025, 10/02/2025 and 10/16/2025 with typographical and spelling corrections. The 11/06/2025 minutes were approved with one recorded abstention and four affirmative votes.
Subdivision extensions: The board granted a 90‑day extension for the Girda preliminary/final minor subdivision, moving the approval deadline to 02/19/2026, and a 180‑day extension for the Maplewood Village Goshen conditional preliminary approval to 05/21/2026 to allow completion of SWIP revisions, DEC and DOH responses and legal instruments.
Hearings set and lead agencies: The Planning Board declared itself lead agency and set public hearings conditional on outstanding submissions: Von Penn subdivision (public hearing set for 01/15/2026 pending well test results), Roger Mansion joint public hearing with the ZBA on 01/15/2026 (Part 2 to be prepared), and the 22 Wood Road scenic corridor hearing set for 01/29/2026 (renderings and visual materials due).

What to watch: Applicants were assigned to return with technical addenda (traffic monitoring protocols, crash data, pump test reports, renderings and lighting/landscape plans) before the scheduled hearings.
