Town of New Castle Planning Board Meeting 9/15/26

The Town of New Castle Planning Board held a meeting on September 15, 2026, primarily focused on site development plan approvals and related permits. Key procurement-related discussions included a public hearing for the Katchk property at 307 Milwood Road, where the board reviewed an application for constructing a collector car garage and associated gravel driveway. The project involved permits for steep slopes, tree removal with mitigation, wetlands, and stormwater management. Staff and board members discussed the need for detailed maintenance plans for stormwater practices and structural details for retaining walls. The board voted to close the public hearing and directed staff to prepare a resolution for approval at the next meeting. Another agenda item involved an informal appearance for the TUI 11 Hammond Ridge application, addressing unauthorized construction and mitigation for exceeding development coverage limits. The board scheduled a public hearing for this application on October 20, 2026. No contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting included important planning and permitting decisions that could impact future construction and development procurement activities in the town.
