Easton discusses drinking-water plan involvement and a shared-driveway subdivision proposal

Town of Easton Board of Supervisors · June 1, 2025

Summary

Clerk Phalen reported a NYSDEC official questioned the town's earlier concerns about the Village of Greenwich Drinking Water Source Protection Plan; planning discussion continued on Supervisor Shaw’s subdivision application proposing three lots with a shared driveway and the Planning Board attorney agreed to draft a driveway agreement.

Clerk Phalen reported she had received a phone call from Susan E. Van Patten, Watershed Section B Section Chief at NYSDEC, who said she did not understand why the town was concerned about the Village of Greenwich Drinking Water Source Protection Plan or the town’s reported lack of inclusion given the town had been added to the committee; Van Patten said she would contact Supervisor Shaw to discuss the matter. Supervisor Shaw said he had not yet heard from her as of the meeting.

Planning Board discussion continued on Supervisor Shaw’s subdivision application to create three lots served by a shared driveway. Secretary Michelle SkiƯ reported the Planning Board attorney was agreeable to creating a shared-driveway agreement with all three plot owners named in the parcel created for the driveway; the attorney will work to prepare that agreement.

The minutes record the town’s outreach to NYSDEC and an agreement in principle by the Planning Board attorney to draft a shared-driveway instrument, but do not contain the NYSDEC response or a draft agreement text.
