### Silo Ridge Ventures — Saddle Ridge/Club Meadow Lot Consolidation Conditionally Approved

*Public hearing opened and closed without public comment. Applicant: Patrick Larry for Silo Ridge Ventures CP LLC.*

The board conditionally approved an amended final plat consolidating **5 lots on Club Meadow Drive into 4 lots**.

### Cascade Creek Subdivision — SEQR Negative Declaration Failed

*28-lot workforce housing development. Applicant: Hudson River Housing.*

The board voted on adopting a SEQR negative declaration (no significant adverse environmental impact). **Motion failed 4–2.**

**Voting YES:** Nina Peek, Lyzzette "Foz" Bullock  
**Voting NO:** Chairman Robert Boyles Jr., John Stefanopoulos, Ken Topolsky, Jamie Vitiello

**Reasons for no votes:** (1) Fire safety / water supply — fire district requested 180,000 gallons; applicant proposed 60,000 gallons; (2) Density and community character; (3) Sprinklers.

The applicant met with the Amenia Fire District the night before the meeting. The board directed the applicant to: resolve the water/fire district dispute; address density/community character; and consider a reduced-unit layout. Next appearance: **first July meeting**. Board attorney clarified a failed neg dec does not force an immediate positive declaration — applicant may resubmit revised materials.
