Mr. Howard asked the Board for responses regarding the comments received at the public hearing for Kaaterskill Manor on October 20th.
Discussion ensued amongst the Board.
Mr. Federman made a motion to have the applicant provide an “exit-only” access from the site to Sunrise Avenue at the dead end of Sunrise Avenue, also provide for the installation of an appropriate barrier at the end of Sunrise Avenue so that traffic associated with the project does not go down the embankment, and to include “traffic calming” measures on Sunrise Avenue between the dead end and the entrance driveway for the project, the Board is looking for a Chicane style rather than speed bumps, seconded by Mr. Sacco.
Ayes 7, Nays 0, Absent 0, Motion Carried.
Mr. Howard stated Subdivision SUB-17-2007 for Maria Deleo on Rt. 23A was approved with the conditions on September 20, 2007. Specifically one of the conditions stated the gate must be erected, installed, and secured within forty-five (45) days of subdivision approval. It appears the gate has not been constructed, and the time frame is about to expire.
