Board grants conditional approval for 2-lot subdivision at 294 Fisher Ferry Road
Summary
The board issued a SEQR negative declaration and approved a two-lot subdivision at 294 Fisher Ferry Road, subject to showing a 15-foot trail easement and meeting staff comments including conservation easement deed language.
The Clifton Park Planning Board voted July 13 to issue a SEQR negative declaration and to grant conditional preliminary approval for a two-lot subdivision at 294 Fisher Ferry Road.
The applicant proposes to split an 8.29-acre parcel into a 1.06-acre lot containing the Birch Tavern and a 7.23-acre lot containing Covert Village. Applicant representatives said no exterior changes are proposed at this stage and described conservation-area mapping and maintenance agreements that will be recorded. Planning staff noted Saratoga County Planning's recommendation of no intercommunity or county-wide impacts and asked that a 15-foot right-of-way for a future trail be clearly shown as an easement on the plan.
There were no public objections; board members asked that conservation easement boundaries be clearly identified in deed language and on final plans. The board moved and approved preliminary subdivision approval conditioned on addressing staff comments and clarifications about easement delineation and maintenance agreements.
The planning department will confirm required deed language, show the pedestrian easement on final plats, and verify that maintenance agreements are recorded before final sign-off.
