Summary

The Planning Board approved a Greek Revival restoration at 37 Williams St. as a Type II rehabilitation but asked the applicant, Jay Lesenger, to confirm whether the building is owned by an LLC or by him personally before finalizing records.

The Village of Catskill Planning Board on May 12 approved a proposed Greek Revival restoration at 37 Williams Street, contingent on confirmation of current building ownership.

Applicant Jay Lesenger presented the added agenda item for restoration; the board assumed lead agency and agreed the project qualified as a Type II rehabilitation. The board approved a motion of appropriateness and the permit on the condition that Mr. Lesenger verify whether the property is owned by an LLC or by him personally and that matching reports reflect the correct owner.

Members recorded motions to assume lead agency (moved by Anthony Petrianni), to classify the project as Type II rehabilitation (moved by Juan Mojica), and to approve the work (moved by Anthony Petrianni and seconded by Shelly). The approval was recorded "without objection" after the ownership check was requested.

The minutes do not specify the scope of restoration beyond a note that the window sizes slightly differ from the original; the board requested verification of ownership and matching reports before final administrative processing.
