Pittstown tables potential sale of 22-acre Clum/Ryan Gross property; resident urges buyer to pay subdivision costs
Summary
The Town Board tabled consideration of a possible sale of town-owned land on Clum/Ryan Gross Road and will revisit the matter next month. A resident urged that the town not incur subdivision fees and asked that any buyer bear those costs.
Pittstown — The Town Board of the Town of Pittstown on May 11 tabled consideration of a possible sale of town-owned property on Clum Road/Ryan Gross Road after receiving an overview of the required legal process from Town Attorney Stacey Goldstein.
Supervisor Matthew Curley said the board has an interested party for the land but that a previous attempt to sell the parcel years ago was unsuccessful. Goldstein outlined the process the town must follow to proceed with a sale; the board decided to postpone action until its next regular meeting to allow time for additional review and steps required by law.
During public access, resident Vincent Meade urged the board not to incur subdivision fees if it sells the 22-acre parcel, saying "the Town should not incur any subdivision fees if the Board proceeds with selling the 22 acres on Clum/Ryan Gross; let the owner incur the costs if they wish to subdivide." Justin Welch thanked the highway department for culvert work on Clum Road and asked whether the surface would be covered with more than crusher run; Highway Superintendent Paul Campbell said he hopes to pave the entire length of Clum Road. Town Clerk Michelle A. Hoag advised the board that the town does not own the land on Brundige Road, saying it had been sold during subdivision.
The board did not take further action on the possible sale at the May meeting and will revisit the item next month, Curley said.
