Town Board declares SEQR Type I intent for comprehensive plan update
Summary
The Town Board adopted a Type I SEQR lead agency intent resolution to begin coordinated review of the Town of Newburgh Comprehensive Plan Update; the resolution, prepared with input from planner Dave Smith, passed unanimously (4–0).
The Town of Newburgh Board adopted a Type I SEQR lead agency intent resolution on March 24 to begin coordinated environmental review of the town’s Comprehensive Plan Update. Mark C. Taylor, the town attorney, presented the draft resolution noting the plan will be circulated for coordinated review.
The resolution, described by Taylor as prepared with work by Dave Smith, designates the proposed plan update as a Type I action under SEQR, a determination that typically triggers review by multiple involved agencies because of the potential for larger environmental impacts. Councilman Anthony R. LoBiondo moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman Paul Ruggiero seconded and the motion passed on a roll-call vote of 4–0, with Supervisor Gil Piaquadio absent.
By adopting the SEQR lead agency intent resolution, the board initiated the formal environmental review process for the comprehensive plan update. The transcript notes the resolution will be circulated as part of the coordinated review; no timeline for final adoption was provided in the meeting record.
The board did not record further substantive debate on the merits of the plan during the workshop. The next procedural step is circulation of the SEQR materials to involved agencies for comment as part of coordinated review.
