Ulster County Planning Board Minutes
The meeting included the adoption of the 2026 meeting schedule and the approval of the proposed 2026 Slate of Officers, naming Mike Baden as Chair, Scott McCarthy as Vice-Chair, and Chandra Valianti as Secretary. Discussions involved upcoming education and training opportunities, and a community report noted the Village of Saugerties would be referring a plan for Arm of the Sea Theater. The Planning Department reported that funding for the Comprehensive Plan update was not received, leading to discussions about using county funding internally, potentially requiring an Advisory Committee. A significant portion of the meeting involved public comment regarding Wawarsing Estates, LLC, a 55+ development, focusing on traffic, planning standards, and a proposed local law removing age restrictions.
