At the recent City of Kingston’s Planning Board meeting, the proposed Kingstonian project gave its formal presentation and presented its application for the first time, starting what will be a very long process.
All of the documents and the presentation will be made available at the planning office. Citizens are encouraged to schedule a time to review the materials by calling: (845) 334-3955. We’re asking that they be placed online, too, under the Planning Departments “Planning Project” page.
Following the presentation, the board voted unanimously on the following;
- The Kingstonian Project is a Type 1 Action in SEQR and a coordinated review must be taken. A full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) will be required to determine any environmental impacts.
- The City of Kingston Planning Board requests that it be Lead Agency of the project. Their request will be circulated to all Involved agencies who will have 30 days to respond to either approve or deny their request. (List of Involved agencies forthcoming).
- In 30 days, the the Planning Board will ‘entertain’ the project at a regular board meeting and schedule a public hearing (more on this in the coming weeks).
