Board authorizes negative declaration and schedules public hearing for Flynn two‑lot subdivision
Summary
The planning board authorized staff to prepare a SEQR negative declaration for the Flynn two‑lot subdivision after the applicant reduced disturbance below the DEC SWIP threshold; a public hearing was scheduled for Oct. 5.
Bridal White, an engineer/surveyor representing the Flynn subdivision applicant, said the disturbance area was redesigned from 0.96 to 0.86 acres to avoid SWIP (erosion/sediment control) thresholds.
"We redesigned the disturbance area to avoid the SWIP requirement, from 0.96 to 0.86 acres," Bridal White said, explaining the reconfiguration. Town staff confirmed that if the disturbance remains below the 0.95‑acre threshold the project may avoid a formal erosion‑control SWIP permit but the submission still needed staff review.
Staff reviewed endangered species notes (two Hudson River fish, bat species), remediation/site notes in the EAF and the site's prior historic record (Carmen House and an associated wharf identified as archaeological potential). The board authorized staff to draft a negative declaration and voted to schedule a public hearing on October 5. A plaque installation (previously required in 2020) was added as a condition of future map signing.
