Planning board approves Lehigh Ridge Section 2B final subdivision for 10 single-family lots
Summary
The board approved final subdivision PB-329.2B to create 10 single-family lots in Lehigh Ridge Section 2B, confirming utility connections, stormwater routing to existing ponds and a 27-foot front setback from the right-of-way given there are no sidewalks in this section.
The Henrietta Planning Board approved final subdivision PB-329.2B on July 21, authorizing creation of 10 single-family lots in Lehigh Ridge Section 2B and accepting revisions to road width, utility connections and front-setback language.
James Kritikos (BME Associates) presented the plan, describing the dedication of a 50-foot roadway, adjustments to meet the town’s fire-access width (26-foot requested fire lane), and utility tie-ins to the previously constructed system. Kritikos said stormwater will route to the central ponds constructed with earlier sections and that the applicant expects to dedicate the associated open-space parcels to the town once section build-out concludes.
The board clarified a clerical advertisement error in the agenda (the agenda listed 8 lots; the plan and submittals show 10 lots). After confirming all submittal materials consistently described 10 lots, the board directed that the resolution language be updated to reflect 10 lots.
Town staff and the developer discussed front setbacks and driveway lengths: staff recommended, and the board agreed, to set the front setback at 27 feet from the right-of-way (a compromise from other requested dimensions) because sidewalks are not proposed in this segment and the roadway/driveway geometry provides adequate stacking for two parked cars without encroaching on sidewalks.
With minor plan revisions and the clarified resolution text, the board moved and adopted final subdivision approval.
