Planning board records approval motion for 390 State Route 52 bank conversion, asks for DOT confirmation on sidewalk
Summary
The Fallsburg Planning Board recorded and seconded a motion to approve a site plan for conversion of the former Bank of Windward at 390 State Route 52 and asked the applicant to provide written DOT clarification on whether an existing sidewalk must be completed or may be removed.
The Fallsburg Planning Board recorded a motion to approve the site plan for 390 State Route 52, the former Bank of Windward, during its meeting. Committee member (speaker 2) moved to approve the plan; a fellow board member seconded the motion and the board voiced assent.
Board members pressed the applicant on a pedestrian‑access issue. “DTE said we can either remove the sidewalk or extend the sidewalk,” the project presenter (speaker 4) said, noting the utility’s position that if a sidewalk remains it must be made accessible but that the sidewalk could be removed entirely. The board requested a written statement from DOT to put the decision on the record.
The board also discussed an existing set of steps adjacent to the sidewalk. “If that sidewalk is gone, why is it gonna go to steps?” one member asked; the applicant said the steps would remain but that the applicants would provide clarification. The board asked staff to prepare a standard resolution including conditions discussed in the meeting.
The motion was seconded and the board recorded vocal assent; no roll‑call tally was supplied in the record. The board instructed staff to include the DOT documentation and standard conditions in the draft resolution to be presented in minutes and for future adoption.
