Beekman Planning Board Planning Board Meeting
The meeting centered on the review of the 'Woods at Hemlock Hollow' subdivision project. Key discussion topics included the proposal of a conservation easement to protect approximately 40% of the site's forested land, revisions to driveway layouts to facilitate emergency vehicle access and minimize tree removal, and the timing of screening tree installations relative to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Additionally, the Board heard public comments raising concerns about the layout of Lot 3, specifically regarding topography, grading, septic requirements, and the overall impact on the existing natural environment.
