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.
