Developer describes three-lot plan; board urges wetlands and DOT review
Summary
A developer presented a conceptual three-lot subdivision on 12.635 acres. The board flagged wetlands and clean-water (DEC) permitting and encouraged early DEC Article 15 and DOT sight-distance work before advancing the application.
On July 22, applicant representative Colin Halston told the board his client proposes to subdivide a 12.635-acre parcel into three lots (roughly 4 acres each). Halston said the site includes significant wetlands and that the team has engaged a wetlands specialist; he noted that DEC clean-water permits (Article 15) will likely be needed and that the application may change pending wetlands or permitting outcomes.
Board members emphasized the need to secure DEC guidance and DOT sight-distance approvals and to resolve an ambiguous deeded right-of-way that currently provides access to a landlocked parcel. The board suggested the applicant consult the fire department and the highway superintendent early to clarify road standards and emergency access; Halston said he would return with more detailed plans if permitting and technical reviews allow.
