Ulster Cohousing #2007-18 Major Subdivision

 

Statement from Fred Greitzer which he would like on record as follows:

Last night after the UCPB meeting the #2 person on the staff who is a relative to the applicant approached me and said we (the Planning Board) were bias and giving the applicant a hard time because we were not in favor of the ownership structure.

I informed her this was not true on my part and pointed out the Wild Rose application as an example of convectional structure who were going through the same experience.

I was not comfortable and spoke several times with Chairman Liggans on this matter and felt that person like me can’t say a word about the application, I felt improperly influenced and informed the Director of County Planning that I was going to make a statement and put it on record. I feel the UCPB should be aware of this and Chairman Liggans has agreed to Email the director about this statement.

 

Issues that need to be addressed are Storm water and the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. 

A copy of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants will be forwarded to the Town’s attorney for review. 

Joe Havranek added to the minutes it was in detailed explained to the applicant the difference between conventional buildout verses cluster development and cluster development are subject to different regulations including 75-26 code and open space preservation is the main requirement.
