Village of Red Hook EDC Report June 2024
I attended the June 12 Town EDC Meeting
Ken Migliorelli spoke about his concern related to the plans for public trails on the Cookingham West property. His concern is around having farm equipment and the public in the same space. He is also concerned that the Ag & Open Space Committee is not being consulted as these plans are being made.
There was a discussion around the Town Sewer District. I shared the current status of the Village Phase II Sewer Project as well.
The frustration around having a main Village corner be occupied by a gas station was shared. A brief discussion of the obstacles in the way of making any change there.
I shared an update on the Northeast Quadrant planning progress. Kristina Dousharm discussed the Kingston new zoning – specifically the large lot section. She recommended that the Village look at that zoning for inspiration. There was also discussion around lighting and future options for controlling the color temperature of lights.
I shared our project around reducing the speed limit to 25mph and other things we are looking at to slow down the traffic through the Village.
I also alerted the group that the Abrahams Park Task Force will have a survey available soon to collect input on ideas for uses/amenities at the Park. Ken Migliorelli requested to be added to the task force.
Kristina reminded the committee that they have had several discussions around Rollin Lanes and the current zoning on Rt 9G. She said they need to have further discussions on zoning possibilities to recommend to the Town.
Next meeting is Wednesday, June 26.
Respectfully submitted,
