Planning Board takes routine referrals and grants six-month extension for SNK Newburgh
Summary
At its May 7 meeting the board authorized referrals for the Chester Residence and Grzechowski subdivisions, directed adjoiners' notices and ZBA referrals where required, and granted a six-month extension to Nov. 7, 2026, for SNK Newburgh’s conditional site-plan approval.
Beyond the major items, the Planning Board handled several routine but consequential procedural matters on May 7, including referrals, adjoiners' notices and an extension of a conditional approval.
For the Chester Residence (8 Kentucky Drive), applicant Joseph Minuta presented an initial appearance for a two-family site plan that will require area variances (lot area and rear yard). Code Compliance identified specific deficiencies (lot area required 50,000 sq. ft.; provided 21,246 sq. ft.; rear yard required 50 feet; provided ~10.3 feet) and the board authorized Planning Board attorney Dominic Cordisco to prepare a referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals and required adjoiners' notices.
Jonathan Millen presented a two-lot subdivision for the Grzechowski property (14 McDonald Drive). The Board agreed to circulate adjoiners' notices, declared itself lead agency for environmental review, and directed the applicant to provide tree-survey and grading-easement documentation for a proposed driveway encroachment onto an adjoining parcel.
In Board business, the Board received a request from the project engineer for SNK Newburgh (project 17-03) to extend a conditional site-plan approval issued in May 2025. Pat Hines advised a six-month extension would move the approval deadline to Nov. 7, 2026; the Board voted unanimously to grant the extension.
All procedural votes (ZBA referrals, adjoiners' notices and the extension) passed on unanimous roll-call votes. Applicants were instructed to work with Town staff on the required submittals and to return with corrected documents and agency approvals where applicable.
