Four proposals were the topic of the night for the Marlborough Planning Board at its March 18 meeting – including the approval of a subdivision application first submitted last August.

That proposal, for a three-lot subdivision on Orange Street in Marlboro hamlet, received unanimous approval from the board. The proposal initially called for five lots and was submitted by Deborah Jones, 98 Orange Street, in August of 2023. There is one 1,500-square-foot residence on the existing 2.4-acre parcel, which would be situated on one of the three subdivided lots.

As Jones noted in a public hearing on the application in November, one more house will be built on Orange Street, to the left of the existing house, and the two homes will share a driveway. The second house to be built will face Orchard Street.

The board also authorized Gerard Comatos, the town’s consulting attorney, to draft a letter of approval for a lot-line revision proposal on Clark’s Lane in Milton. That proposal came from Peter and Frances Fremgen, who sought to clear up an error in the lot line recorded in a subdivision application recorded in 1979. The existing lot line now passes through a garage on the property, which was also built in 1979.

In discussing the proposal, Consulting Attorney Pat Hines noted that the location of the existing sewer system needs to be depicted on Tax Lot 12 – one of the two lots involved in the Fremgen’s proposal.

The board scheduled an April 15 public hearing for a two-lot subdivision proposal on Plattekill Road. David and Tracy Feeney submitted the proposal last month and seek to divide their 14.2- acre parcel into two lots. The smaller lot would be one acre in size, while the remaining acreage would continue as a working farm. David Feeney is also project engineer for the proposal.

In reviewing the progress of the proposal, Hines noted that the subdivision map now includes the site’s topography and the driveway sight lines. In addition, the Ulster County health department has okayed the site septic systems. While he said the proposal is now in good shape in advance of the public hearing, he cautioned against drafting a letter of approval until afterwards.
