Summary

The board declared the Patron and Silver house addition a minor, Type II action, voted to refer the project to Putnam County Planning and the Department of Health, and scheduled a site inspection for August 16.

The Planning Board reviewed a proposed residential addition for a property introduced by architect Phil McCrone and declared the project a minor, Type II action. McCrone described topography, rock outcroppings, and that the project would place the addition roughly 470 feet from an intermittent watercourse; he said the applicants are pursuing Board of Health approval for a new septic system.

The board voted to declare the project minor and to refer it to Putnam County Planning and the Department of Health; local referrals to the Conservation and Fire departments were also approved. The board scheduled a site inspection for August 16 at 9:30 a.m. for members to inspect stakes and review on-site conditions prior to any public hearing determination.

McCrone summarized the site constraints and screening, noting the house’s proposed location avoids significant rock outcroppings and retains wooded buffers. The board asked the applicant to continue coordination with the Health Department on septic permitting and to provide documentation prior to the next formal hearing.
