Planning board accepts 41 North Road application and schedules wetlands review
Summary
The board accepted an application for renovations and additions at 41 North Road (Elizabeth Gramaticus), noted DEC jurisdiction over mapped wetlands, asked for materials and a planting/retaining‑wall specification, and scheduled a public hearing as a Type II action under SEQR.
The Planning Board accepted an application from Elizabeth Gramaticus for additions, landscaping and a wetlands permit at 41 North Road and agreed to schedule a public hearing. The applicant’s designer described modest additions to the western and northern facades, replication of historic windows and roofing materials, and terraced landscape improvements to moderate a steep rear slope. The board asked for a detailed materials list (trees, retaining‑wall materials and hardscape specifications) and clarification on the septic system location.
Board members flagged that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) had taken jurisdiction and that the board must await the agency’s jurisdictional determination for final permitting details. The planning staff characterized the application as a Type II action under SEQR (no detailed EAF required) and said a public hearing would be scheduled for the board’s June meeting. The board asked two members to visit the site before the public hearing.
The board also discussed historic‑window restoration and the applicant’s attempt to source period Dutch doors; landscaping will favor native plantings. The matter was placed on the calendar for public hearing and referred to advisory boards for review.
