Poestenkill board approves minor subdivision at 698 Loop Factory Road
Summary
The board approved a final separation dividing Lot 3 into a 5-acre parcel and a 76.77-acre parcel after a public hearing and a negative environmental determination; the applicant said the smaller parcel will be sold to a friend and described driveway and parking improvements.
The Poestenkill board approved a minor subdivision that divides Lot 3 at 698 Loop Factory Road into Lot 3A (5 acres) and Lot 3B (76.77 acres) after a short public hearing and a board vote.
The applicant said, "I'm cutting off 5 acres," and that the smaller parcel would be sold to a friend, according to the applicant's presentation. Board members asked whether wetlands identified by the EAF mapper would affect development; the applicant and a representative said a retention pond exists on the property and described plans to widen the driveway, add crusher run and provide parking.
A board member asked about parking dimensions; an applicant representative described "five 9.5-foot parking spaces" and a sign plan to help drivers navigate the site. Staff noted sight-line distances and minimum driveway offsets from the curb cited on the survey; the applicant said the driveway would be widened to improve turning movements.
The board completed the short environmental assessment form and made a negative SEQR determination, concluding the action would not create a significant adverse environmental impact. The board then moved and voted to approve the final separation; the motion carried and the board directed staff to finalize signatures and paperwork.
What happens next: the board indicated the approved documents will be signed and available for the applicant to pick up during the week. The approval is limited to the subdivision as presented; any future changes would require further town review or additional approvals.
