Planning Board roundup: cannabis application, lot‑line change and subdivision scheduling

Several shorter matters took up the remainder of the agenda.

Elevated Dreams, a proposed cannabis retail operator, requested a special‑use permit to occupy a storefront at 190 South Plank Road (Route 52). Floyd Johnson presented the proposal and told the Board the center currently provides roughly 76 parking spaces. Town staff asked for a corrected bulk table (the application listed an R‑1 table but the property is in a B zone), a cumulative parking calculation for the whole plaza, disposal arrangements and a secure dumpster for cannabis waste. The Board agreed to circulate the application to Orange County Planning and to notify NYSDOT because the site fronts a state highway. Adjoiners' notices will be required before the Board can act further.

Patricia Brooks presented a lot‑line change involving Jeffrey & Doreen Laber and Lands of Tarben; the parties agreed to convert a 50‑foot reserved easement into fee ownership so the Laber parcel will have road frontage. Pat Hines recommended adjoiners' notices and said wetlands were noted on the plans; the Board scheduled the matter for the June 5 meeting to allow notice and minor clarifications.

Jonathan Millen presented a two‑lot subdivision (Lands of Hudson Marine Corp.). The Board asked the applicant to change a depicted 20‑foot access strip to a 50‑foot fee ownership strip to provide future access options and to show septic/leachfield locations; the Board voted to hold adjoiners' notice circulation until that change is shown on the map.

These items were procedural and the Board identified technical checklists staff will verify before future approvals.
