Cold Spring board says trail‑project responses were 'not satisfactory,' may add follow-up statement

Members of the Planning Board reviewed correspondence from the George Trail/YourTrail project and said the developer's or agency responses largely echoed the original materials without meaningful engagement. The Chair summarized the board's reading of the responses as cursory and suggested the board consider a short addendum to the record noting the lack of substantive reply. "We found that... we don't feel that they were fully addressed," one member said while discussing potential wording for a follow‑up statement.

Some members questioned the utility of a formal statement absent further process or remedial steps, describing such a note as symbolic but useful for the board's record. The group discussed drafting brief language that would be posted alongside their original comments so future reviewers can see the board's view that its concerns were not addressed.
