The Town of North Salem Planning Board convened on June 3, 2026, at 7:00 PM. The Chair announced the resignation of board member Emily Simonis and the appointment of new member Chris Stankowitz. The board approved a preliminary subdivision plat for Hawley Woods, approved a wetland permit and related approvals for the Bossi property at 2 Brookside Lane, and carried over the public hearing for Grant Road LLC to a future meeting.
All right. I'm going to start the planning board meeting of June 3rd, 2026. I'd like to start by saying that Emily Simonis has resigned from the board. She and her husband are going to have a child this August. And it's just a bit much to be coming out for evening meetings with one other child. So we wish her well. And the town board did interview a few people, and they actually appointed a new member, Chris Stankowitz, who will not be with us tonight. He hasn't, he was just appointed. He hasn't taken his oath of office yet, but he should be joining us for our work session. And speaking of that, I just want to confirm that at least we'll all be here for the June 17th work session. Yes. Definitely those two. I'm not sure if we'll start anything else. I'm not around in that first week of July. July 1st, is it? Yeah, so that's our first meeting in July, the first. Are you going to be here? No, I'm that's when I'm away. You're away. All right. Um so how does the seventh look? I'm still not here. I mean the eighth. I'm still not here. You're still not here. Okay. Um so we're just gonna have to oh the I'm sorry, the eighth I am back. I could do the first or the eighth, whatever either one works. Okay, so we will let everybody know. It um we're gonna need at least another board member, so we we'll have to check on that, Don. I would prefer the first because I think it's hard to jump into a meeting right after the fourth of July weekend, but we certainly need to get a uh a quorum and um I don't think we have a large uh number of items on the agenda, so it shouldn't be too bad. All right, um, uh the public hearing for Grant Road LLC will be carried over to the July meeting whenever it's held. Um and the first item tonight will be Hollywood's preliminary subdivision. Um since we last met, we did get a letter from Mark Sallas and Ellen Clark, uh, which was received and distributed to everybody, and we got an email and letter from Alan Pilch of June 1st, which also was distributed to everybody. I believe all of the um public hearing comments have been considered, and I did ask the planner to prepare a draft resolution of approval for tonight, which you all have, and even the applicant was we gave him a courtesy copy. So the one thing I do want to point out is there are multiple places where the same information is given. The road widening strip for lot one appears to have one number on the preliminary plat and some of the sheets of the plan set, but a different number in at least one of the charts. And Will was questioning whether or not that might have happened with some of the other road widening strips. So just um I'm not gonna change anything in the resolution, but I just caution um that that should be looked at closely before you um resubmit for
