Planning Board Approves Two‑Lot Subdivision for Levner Property on Gray Road
Summary
The board approved a two‑lot subdivision splitting a 94.6‑acre AG parcel on Gray Road so a second primary residence can be built on the east side of Gray Road; engineer Glenn Smith said both resulting lots exceed the 10‑acre AG minimum.
The Town of Fallsburg Planning Board unanimously approved a two‑lot subdivision for the Levner family property on Gray (Gray) and Ranch Roads at its May 14 meeting.
Engineer Glenn Smith, representing Jeremy Levner, told the board the 94.6‑acre parcel is bisected by Gray Road and that one existing house sits on the west parcel while the family intends to build an additional primary residence on the east parcel. "I'm Glenn Smith, engineer for Jeremy Levner," Smith said when presenting the application, and he told the board both resulting lots — roughly 45 acres and 49 acres — exceed the AG zone's 10‑acre minimum.
Staff recommended treating the proposal as a Type II action for SEQR and verifying floodplain elevations on future house plans; Hayden Carnell asked that any house plan submitted to code enforcement include matching floodplain data. The board approved the subdivision (motion by Michael Kirtack; second Irv Newmark).
Why it matters: The approval resolves a planning barrier to establishing a second primary residence on a tax map parcel split by a public road. The applicant must complete county real‑property mapping and any necessary building permits before construction begins.
