Votes and actions at a glance: Planning Board, Nov. 14 — site plan approved; two major items continued
Summary
On Nov. 14 the Planning Board approved the Unitarian site plan with conditions; it continued review of the 239 Washington land‑disturbance permit and left open the public hearing on the 25 New Street subdivision pending additional engineering and agency comments.
Key formal action taken at the Nov. 14 meeting:
• 400 Loudoun Road (Unitarian Universalist Church): Site plan approved with conditions. The board required (1) a Saratoga County Sewer District will‑serve letter confirming the proposed sewer connection and (2) that the parking space closest to the church be striped and reserved to permit vehicle turnaround. Chair moved the motion and the board voted to approve.
• 239 Washington/West (land‑disturbance permit): No determination made. After extensive public testimony citing repeated neighborhood basement and yard flooding, the board asked the applicant to submit a revised SWIP that includes hydrologic calculations, a tree inventory identifying significant trees per the UDO, and a minimized site option that shows the least‑impact pathway to fill the isolated wetland. The board will revisit the application when materials are resubmitted.
• 25 New Street (25 New Street subdivision): Public hearing opened on a 20‑lot subdivision (18 duplexes plus a proposed dog park and 0.77 acres of preserved woodland). The hearing was left open. The board requested DPW/fire comments on emergency access and cul‑de‑sac design, more stormwater and sanitary detail, and clarification about the dog park’s potential dedication to the city or long‑term HOA management.
These were the principal votes and next steps recorded; the board assigned follow‑up homework to applicants and staff and left two major agenda items unresolved pending resubmission of technical materials.
