Willow Tree Resort Plan Draws Requests for Long‑Form EAF, DEC and Health Approvals

Sep 16, 2024

Board requested a long‑form EAF for the Willow Tree Resort concept after applicants moved cabins away from the road and added a natural swimming pool. Staff flagged that the project borders the 10‑acre disturbance threshold, needs DEC/Health permits, and that narrow internal roads require early Fire Department review.

The full story

Willow Tree Resort representatives presented a revised concept plan that moves cabins inward, places a natural swimming pool on the site and shows about 9.5+ acres of disturbance—close to the ten‑acre SEQRA threshold. Planning Board Engineer Pat Hines recommended submission of a long‑form EAF, noting "The site is very, very close to exceeding ten acres of disturbance," and said DEC and Ulster County Health Department approvals will be required for large septic fields and any in‑wetlands work.
