Planning board refers proposed Cauterskill Estates subdivision to town and county reviewers
Summary
Representatives described a proposed Cauterskill Estates subdivision of roughly 70 single-family homes behind Price Chopper; the board referred the project to town and county agencies and noted outstanding issues including access, sewage capacity, road bonding/staging, and ownership of about 20 acres of common land.
The Village of Catskill Planning Board referred a proposed Cauterskill Estates subdivision to town and county agencies on Aug. 25, 2025, after hearing a detailed presentation from project representatives and an engineering review.
Representatives Darrin Elsom and Terresa Bakner described plans for approximately 70 single-family homes on Cauterskill Road, behind the Price Chopper shopping center. Kevin Schwenzfeier, an engineer retained by the planning board (Delaware Engineering), outlined technical issues the board should consider, including whether adjacent access would be on a public road versus an existing private drive, the capacity of local sewage infrastructure to serve the development, potential staging and bonding of the road prior to dedication, and future ownership and maintenance responsibilities for roughly 20 acres of land around the residential lots.
The board moved to refer the application to the town and county to secure necessary outside approvals and technical reviews. Minutes record no public comment on the application during the meeting.
Board members asked staff to ensure intergovernmental coordination and return future recommendations based on comments from town and county agencies and any additional engineering reviews.
