Summary
Goshen Estates LLC, successor to the original Traskis/Elmdale Farms applicant, requested and received a six‑month extension (to May 21, 2026) to satisfy conditions of final approval; the board approved the extension after receiving a $500 trust check and hearing that engineering and financing discussions remain ongoing.
The planning board granted a further extension for the Traskis (also referenced as Elmdale Farms) subdivision to allow the successor applicant, Goshen Estates LLC, additional time to comply with conditions of the conditional final approval.
Staff read an 11/24/2025 letter from attorney Bob Green explaining that the successor applicant needs more time while engineering issues and lender negotiations continue; the company also submitted a trust check for $500 to cover administrative extension fees. Board member Sean recommended two 90‑day extensions that would place the new deadline on May 21, 2026, and the board voted to extend the conditional final approval to that date.
The board noted no objection to the extension but did not change conditions; the extension preserves previously granted rights while the applicant continues to resolve engineering and market‑related issues.
This action extends the timeline only and does not represent final acceptance of any changes to the subdivision design.
