The Town of North Salem Planning Board met on May 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM to discuss multiple subdivision applications, a tree ordinance amendment, and special permit provisions for land conservation nonprofits. The meeting included public hearings, final approval of a subdivision, a grant of extension, and work session items.
Phone and let's see if we can hear you. Hello, hello, hello. Ah, we can hear you loud and clear. Thank you. I assume you can hear us. Okay, thank you. Thank you. All right. Um, you're all set? Yeah. Ah, here's Emily. How are you? Good evening. Okay, I'm going to open the May 6th meeting of the North Southern Planning Board. Um, first item on the agenda, the Grant Road LLC preliminary subdivision will be carried over to the June meeting. We will uh next here a continuation of the Hollywoods preliminary subdivision. And uh we have Jerry Alan, we have Alan in the audience. All right, Alan Pilch. Um in since the last meeting we received two emails. Um the first one sent over the DEC information on the wetlands determination, and the second attachment was a DEC letter of no jurisdiction. And then Alan sent another email today with uh resending the Han memo of January and the responses that were given to some of the points in that memo. So perhaps with that, since we had an open question, if you'd like to summarize thank you, Alan. Hi, good evening. I'm uh Alan Pilch from ALT Engineering. Can you raise that microphone a little bit? Thank you. How's that? Um so there were a few responses that we um provided uh today. I'm sorry we missed that the last time, but um we were responding to comments from um from uh consulting and um basically the uh the questions were related to four of the structures which would be either within the town right-of-way or in the uh Holly Road dedicated conveyance strip. And um I'll just say that we're presuming that for structures that are within the right-of-way that the town will be the agency to maintain those structures for whatever it is. I mean, usually manholes are catch basins don't require a lot of maintenance, usually catch basins are just periodic cleaning, and that's about it. But I presuming that would happen. So in this way you won't have me going out there with a probar and pickaxe or whatever and shovel cleaning it out. Um so I presume that would be the um uh that the town would assume responsibility for it. One of the questions dealt with a discrepancy in the plat map of the limited disturbance area. And when um Peter uh Gregory and I looked at it, we noted that there was a discrepancy in the um the meets and bounds in and two of the um of the uh portions of the boundary that were incorrect. Um we you know we measured them and looked at them, and and so we had um uh Welsh uh Bill Welsh, the uh surveyor corrected, and in the current plat, that's before that was submitted and before the uh planning board, it is correct. So I'll say the previous one, which was dated um February 28, 2025 was incorrect. Apologize my letter said 2002. I'm not quite that old. Um, but the the 616 2025 plat map, which is the current one, is correct. Um we also um corrected the revision dates on the plans. All the plans that were been submitted have a revision date of um of March 10th, 2025, and uh that has been corrected as well. Um would you like me to also just respond to the other? Yes, please. I could uh there was a comment regarding the proximity of the septic system uh to the property at 299 post road.
