The board declared the proposal a Type II action under SEQR, leaving the application to proceed through the board’s normal site‑plan review process with further technical follow‑up.

Attorney/representative Jim Dylan described the site’s history: the property was approved in 2016 for a single tenant spray‑foam business and later had interior partitions added without building permits when multiple tenants occupied bays. Dylan said a new prospective tenant — a mobile medical imaging operator with imaging trucks — proposes to occupy the building in a configuration similar to the original approval. The board and staff observed there has been unauthorized clearing and fill behind the building; the applicant reported the fill appears to be topsoil and gravel, not construction debris, and agreed to provide information on the source and composition.

Town staff recommended testing and documentation of the filled area; if the source is unknown, additional soil testing and possible remediation could be required. Staff noted the building as‑built roof pitch is 4 on 12 but the HC zoning design standard requires an 8 on 12 peak roof; counsel and staff advised that the applicant likely will need to seek a variance for the roof profile or redesign the roof. The board also raised issues around outdoor storage locations, accessible parking layout (a front‑yard accessible stall may not comply with code), adequacy of the on‑site septic (originally sized for three employees at ~45 gallons per day; applicant now projects six employees and thus likely needs an upgraded sewer/disposal system), gate location and truck maneuverability relative to the road, and emergency‑responder access.

After discussion the board voted to declare the project a Type II action under SEQR and did not proceed to public hearing. Staff asked the applicant to supply documentation on the fill material, clarify what (if anything) will be stored outside, provide architect’s details or pursue a variance for the roof pitch, and confirm the septic capacity and electrical capacity for vehicle charging inside the building.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Board Meeting August 7, 2025.","oneSentenceSummary","The Goshen planning board declared Quarrystone LLC’s amended site plan for a truck storage and office use a SEQR Type II action on Aug. 9 and requested additional technical documentation on fill material, septic capacity and building design.","taxTitle","Goshen, Orange County, New York","taxId",55277,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6502246,"Board tables environmental declaration for 58.9‑acre Solar Liberty project after glare and planting concerns",1522,2168000,3690000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5548527-050a7a9682dbdae45d3f745896f046dc&start=2168&end=3690","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5548527-050a7a9682dbdae45d3f745896f046dc/thumbnail_2168000.jpg","/articles/6502246/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Board-tables-environmental-declaration-for-589acre-Solar-Liberty-project-after-glare-and-planting-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6502246-e38379fb68dc58e9fd4f782d26a63ee6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447794&Signature=Z8vLy71i~qKNdPtyApgl~ziQP2E-zAs3Eba739Q-6SEkLlzG1h5vhgFVBjULrs~FuQJR6APBG34UQvESxb2FihRsB96~8mmzYlVkbvq5ffpL4E4Sx2alLHH69BC~5CBiOazilhHTDaCj79mrJgW2DGttlRzgDbF7MKGbn49Pc2LKQuQd1hf98jAka-2KJut6eD9sYN1HF-Z3uOvL9pphiEkVnQgHhpiYfkrHnGxG9rrKqQl2VGtDZ13DX8uRdI2gtmX8TFOEk89vosAP~JlGCd~xvnMgxtqNrIs4ZjxMyRDqwLmcOIhCaYYBCqtdyUJQ0sF2JDhvja~EhEataVPQ8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Town Planning Board on Aug. 9 declined to adopt a negative declaration for a proposed 58.9‑acre solar energy system by Solar Liberty Energy Systems Inc., citing outstanding technical questions about glare modeling, planting plans and screen effectiveness.

Dan Kruskowski of Barclay Damon, representing the applicant, presented a revised planting plan that increases evergreen screening—principally arborvitae varieties—targeting Areas 2 and 7 near Millburn Road to mitigate panel glare observed in the project’s LaBella glare assessment. The applicant proposed planting taller stock (12‑foot stock in key corners) and advancing planting ahead of ground disturbance to accelerate screening growth.

Board members raised multiple technical concerns: inconsistent tree counts across plan sheets (planting totals shown as 236 in one report and 307 on another), uncertainty whether the planting schedule matches the screening geometry used in the glare analysis, and whether existing tree buffers (notably Area 6 on Millburn) are sufficient given sparse coverage. A planning board member also questioned why the glare model used a 3‑foot receptor/panel modeling assumption; other local solar studies modeled panels at 5–8 feet, and the board flagged that difference as material to assessing whether glare is significant.

The applicant said it could provide clarifications, revise the planting schedule so the planting quantities and species exactly match the glare‑study assumptions, and agreed to a 1‑year look‑back provision to confirm survival and placement of plantings. The board said the concerns are substantial enough to withhold a SEQR negative declaration and to delay scheduling a joint public hearing until the applicant provides the requested clarifications in writing. No final approvals were granted at the meeting.","The board declined to approve a negative declaration for Solar Liberty Energy Systems’ proposed ~59‑acre solar array, citing unresolved glare modeling and inconsistent planting schedules. The applicant will return with clarified plant counts, glare‑modeling explanations and a refined mitigation plan.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6502250,"Planning board conditionally approves Strack Road lot, sets erosion and culvert conditions",1871,275000,2146000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5548527-050a7a9682dbdae45d3f745896f046dc&start=275&end=2146","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5548527-050a7a9682dbdae45d3f745896f046dc/thumbnail_275000.jpg","/articles/6502250/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Planning-board-conditionally-approves-Strack-Road-lot-sets-erosion-and-culvert-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6502250-00252c3522b2a1dba74c010d29ff059f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447794&Signature=Kaci15nSFMAyV3DKxBXSUqSEG876fJmIzHudqHfj5Lq2Nj~~JxOuk6Mb0a~45Z96WSWin8vQ24S0sATNBSy51drQ-Q-vCuFk-Fh78LC0SFxheU2ITvAmNZvXZYJWptbrunaeRSJTLresj5aELRm2V-QKnee~vbG8UKycgNC5nWOIVP4Hfx2Twr5z1grlwW~8B4vAUBjKZxuEDACwSI9qRiJCuYaCJ-Uhf7-e~PUN~aCYm9VG92mqWRa6LhRk9W4niq1SmFryn0QS3X6MU4osNeJDVC4wVJgh5fka~FE5Z1WGyBHKGAw7zY1xKdwWYSmZLr9JTgAHOe5DhVkqw19L2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Town Planning Board on Aug. 9 granted conditional approval for a major site plan to build a single‑family house on a 1‑acre lot on Strack Road (Tax Lot Section 14, Block 7, Lot 3), subject to multiple conditions aimed at protecting the reservoir watershed and downstream drainage.

Consultant Laura Kresge told the board the proposed three‑bedroom dwelling would be served by a private well at the front and an individual sewage disposal system in the rear that requires access over an unimproved paper street (Titus Road). Kresge said the septic shown is separated from surrounding wells by “greater than 200 feet.” The property lies inside the Q3 stream corridor and reservoir watershed overlay, which triggered planning‑board review.

Several neighbors raised concerns during the public hearing about a mapped drainage swale that crosses neighboring lots and ultimately outlets to the town reservoir. One resident requested that the board not approve the plan “until and unless that question number 17 can be answered with a no,” referring to the Short Environmental Assessment Form question about whether stormwater would discharge to adjacent properties. The applicant and staff said the project will continue existing drainage patterns and that erosion and sediment control plans are required by code for development in the overlay district.

Town staff and board members discussed access via Titus Road (a paper road) and the town’s lack of maintenance responsibility for that stretch. The board required the applicant to verify the capacity of an downstream driveway culvert and an on‑site 18‑inch pipe, to the satisfaction of the town engineer, so that increased runoff from the driveway and roof will not cause off‑site flooding. The board also required fencing at the limits of clearing and disturbance, compliance with the town engineer’s 07/11/2025 memorandum, a properly executed owner’s endorsement, and that the applicant install magnetic underground utility marking tape to identify the location of the buried sewage line within the Titus Road right‑of‑way.

The resolution clarifies that the planning board’s approval does not validate encroachments from adjacent lots onto the subject parcel nor create a separate parcel on the far side of Titus Road; the approval addresses only the current project. The board voted to approve the conditional resolution as modified during the meeting.","The board granted conditional approval for a one‑acre lot and single‑family dwelling at Strack Road (Section 14, Block 7, Lot 3) in the Stream Corridor and Reservoir Watershed Overlay District, attaching conditions on erosion control, confirmation of downstream culvert capacity and utility marking for a sewage crossing of Titus Road.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6502255,"Planning board OKs two 180‑day extensions for pending building approvals",129,87000,216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5548527-050a7a9682dbdae45d3f745896f046dc&start=87&end=216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5548527-050a7a9682dbdae45d3f745896f046dc/thumbnail_87000.jpg","/articles/6502255/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Planning-board-OKs-two-180day-extensions-for-pending-building-approvals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6502255-f88068d57af619c237925fd440657f1e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447794&Signature=A5M0hoG1~opz9MjVwmd4SnIabUJPXP1NWnvG6eOscunKGZ6fpQ-LdozsP1kdAOU5f0BuV8XfUOiTz8izSZk7RyXhJZBTND0VJCxCRjx7jxYkKSi5qMVzwfuXvdbCwNun4BUKqQfKYmQ4Js5cgNbdasSeo7MBzBog993LiXw~CSnVLhiFKEMDIFdYeuiYZ5fFN2LarXEIgdt3fqYDwT6R86Dyz~I44-TToa5rH3VN3Zyd0U064Qwoj9xeZgFHUZi3zUrHk-npXpwTsBK48PC8YjuMmDultBMwWzgDy0QxAmDEyP6hnG5FkK2LYuBW12nsIMjSWg77uYXzhpF358DqnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goshen Town Planning Board on Aug. 9 voted to grant two separate 180‑day extensions of conditional approvals for pending building projects, moving both approval expiration dates to Feb. 5, 2026.

A member of Hometown Engineering, by letter dated Aug. 7, 2025 and read into the record, requested a 180‑day extension of conditional approval originally issued Jan. 6, 2022, so the owner’s family can proceed with building a single‑family home on the proposed lot and obtain quotes for improvements to Dunmore Lane. Planning board members moved and seconded the measure; the board voted in favor.

The board then considered a written request from a Mr. Bachman for an extension related to a three‑car garage/carriage house. The applicant told staff that his surveying firm has been delayed because of a surge in work; the building department has been provided the required fees, the planner said. After brief comments from board members, the board approved a 180‑day extension for the Bachman project as well.

Both extensions were recorded as 180 days and the board clerk noted the new expiration date as Feb. 5, 2026. No additional conditions were stated on the record beyond the board’s requirement that outstanding submittals and fees be provided to the building department.","The Goshen Town Planning Board voted to grant two separate 180‑day extensions of previously conditional approvals: one for a subdivision conditional approval originally granted Jan. 6, 2022, and one for a three‑car garage/carriage‑house project at the Bachman property.
