Planning board approves special-use permit for ADU at 147 Whitney Road in Mount Tremper
Summary
The Shandaken Planning Board approved a special-use permit allowing an accessory dwelling unit on an 8.4-acre parcel at 147 Whitney Road (Mount Tremper). The applicant told the board she received a "plus 1 ADU" grant and expects to begin construction after engineer sign-offs.
The Shandaken Planning Board voted to approve a special-use permit for an accessory dwelling unit at 147 Whitney Road in Mount Tremper. The board approved the application after completing a short environmental assessment and a roll-call vote in which members recorded affirmative responses.
The application, listed in the public notice as submitted by Jessica Chiles for a parcel identified as SBL 25.19-2-24.120, describes an 8.4-acre lot in a residential 1.5-acre zoning district. At the public hearing the applicant said she had "received a grant from, Rubco, the plus 1 ADU," and that she expects to begin construction when engineering and septic reviews clear. The board discussed septic review and flood-elevation considerations and completed SEAF Part 2, concluding that no moderate-to-large environmental impacts were indicated.
A planning board member moved to approve the special-use permit and a seconded motion carried after roll call. The clerk read the roll with named attendees recorded in the minutes; members answered in the affirmative and the chair confirmed approval. The board also confirmed that written comments submitted before the hearing were part of the record and that required notices and referrals would be made in line with GML procedures for projects on Route 28.
Board members said they would follow standard post-approval steps (engineering sign-offs, any county referrals required by law) before permitting construction to proceed.
