Irving Minkowitz and his attorney, John Coffey were present for the proposed Prime Development major subdivision on County Route 6, however the applicants were not at the meeting.

Paul Doherty, Irish Hills, LLC and Jason Morris, Engineer, M.A. Day Engineering presented a subdivision application for the Huckleberry Crossing Subdivision on Turkey Hill Road. The proposal involves development of approximately 106 acres into 33 lots for residential use. There is an existing farmhouse, which will remain with 18 acres for agricultural use. The Town of Milan has ten-acre zoning and five of the lots are in the Town of Milan. The proposal calls for a cul-de-sac road, which is 1439 feet in length, which will require a variance because it exceeds the 500-foot designated length for cul-de-sacs in subdivision. Mandy Fuchs asked if the cul-de-sac can be eliminated but because of the steep grade on the site, it cannot. The applicant is also proposing using the railroad overpass abutments to enter the subdivision. By raising the height of Turkey Hill Road by two feet, it would allow entry at road level for thirty feet before getting to vertical grade. Rick Sharp raised concern about lights from traffic exiting the subdivision having an effect on the house he is contemplating building opposite the proposed entrance if the road is raised.

Mr. Doherty is currently in contract to purchase a 250 foot wide strip of land that is currently owned by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Company. No closing date has yet been set. Discussed the differences between State (DEC) classified wetlands, 12.4 acres, 100 foot buffer must be delineated and Federal Wetlands, no buffer. Also, Unclassified SEQRA Action – town can declare itself lead agency and Type I Action – Lead agency must be determined.

Amandus Fuchs is proposing a one lot subdivision and boundary line change on property on County Route 6, by reducing a two acre parcel to one and one half acres and creating a flag lot, 50 feet wide, to access a new parcel of approximately one and one half acres. He is also annexing additional acreage to the new parcel from a parcel, which is situated in the Town of Germantown. He has submitted an application; Agricultural Data Statement, BOH approval and driveway permit from the County. His map needs to show the wells, septics of adjoining properties and proposed sites. Also, needs deed descriptions. A motion was made to accept the sketch plan and application by Clayton Andrus, seconded by Dianne O'Neal. All in favor. So carried. A public hearing will be scheduled for July 12, 2006 at 7:30 P.M.
