Summary

The board asked applicant Brandon Cole to complete a soil evaluation to confirm DOH septic criteria and provide clearer driveway location plans for a proposed two-lot subdivision creating a 3.354-acre vacant lot at 8268 Albany Post Road.

The Planning Board reviewed a proposed two-lot minor subdivision by applicant Brandon Cole and representatives Mark Graminski and Seth Stickle to create a new 3.354-acre vacant lot at 8268 Albany Post Road in the RD3 zoning district.

Representatives said DEC and NWI wetlands maps show wetlands surrounding the parcel but none identified on the parcel itself. Seth Stickle reviewed hydrologic soil group mapping and said soils were well-drained and suitable for septic; Brandee Nelson recommended a soil evaluation and referenced a Tighe & Bond memo advising a soil test to confirm the soil meets Department of Health criteria for installing a septic system. The board requested the applicant complete a soil test and provide additional driveway location information before returning for further review.

No formal vote was taken; the board left the matter open pending the requested testing and information.
