Poestenkill board approves site plan for small food-truck at 1061 (Pikewood) Road
Summary
After neighbor support and a discussion about driveway width, sight lines and parking, the board approved a site plan allowing a food-truck-style operation at the property's southwest corner; health-department approval remains pending.
The Poestenkill board approved a site-plan review allowing a small food-truck operation at an address announced as 1061 (Pikewood) Road after a public hearing and board vote.
Chair introduced the applicant as Mary Richmond and read the property address. Board members questioned driveway placement on a sharp bend, narrow driveway width, sight-line issues and parking capacity. One board member said the curve and driveway width were their primary concerns; the applicant's representative described widening the base of the driveway, placing crusher run for a more durable surface and adding signage to guide drivers.
A neighbor spoke in support, saying, "I've had the privilege of eating her food," and described the operation as a small community business that would not bring large crowds. Health-department review and approvals were noted as pending; staff and the board said those approvals would be required before the use proceeds.
After questions from board members and public comment, the board closed the public hearing, moved and voted to approve the submitted site plan review. The board discussed minor conditions and directed staff to complete paperwork; the applicant was told to secure any necessary health-department permits before operation.
What happens next: staff will finalize approvals and the applicant should pursue required health-department signoffs; any change to the approved plan would require additional town review.
