Planning board approves amended Overlook Farms site plan, reduces clubhouse and adds pickleball courts
Summary
The Planning Board unanimously approved an amended site plan for Overlook Farms on Route 9W that reduces clubhouse square footage, reconfigures parking to add a turnaround, replaces two tennis courts with two pickleball courts, and requires updated storm-water documentation and restated original conditions.
The Town of Newburgh Planning Board voted May 21 to approve an amended site plan and ARB approval for Overlook Farms (5417 Route 9W), with conditions including a SEQRA consistency determination and updated storm-water documentation.
Applicant Umberto Baldinucci of JMC described changes that leave residential unit counts and total retail square footage unchanged while reducing the clubhouse from 5,085 to 4,150 square feet, adding a turnaround to the parking configuration and converting two tennis courts to two pickleball courts. He said the revisions reduce impervious area and tree removals. "We provided a SEQRA technical memorandum that summarizes the proposed action and shows less disturbance," Baldinucci said.
MHE Engineering reported a revised Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan has been submitted and is under review; staff recommended restating original conditions of approval for tracking and adding standard pre-construction and storm-water coordination conditions. The board adopted the SEQRA consistency recommendation and restated original conditions; the motion to approve passed on a unanimous roll call.
What’s next: Applicants must satisfy the stated conditions, including any outstanding original conditions and technical storm-water items, and coordinate required pre-construction meetings before clearing or grading begins.
