Catskill Planning Board reviews rail trail subdivision proposal, no decision made

The Catskill Planning Board met on June 23 for a sketch review of a minor subdivision tied to the proposed Catskill Mountain Rail Trail, but took no formal action because the item was only at the discussion stage. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published.

Planning Board reviews minor subdivision for rail trail

The board's main business was a sketch review of a minor subdivision application (SUB 4-2026) by Catskill Mountain Rail Trail at 5850 Cauterskill Road. Sketch reviews are preliminary discussions that allow the board and applicant to examine a proposal before a formal application is submitted. No public hearings were scheduled for this item.

The subdivision, if approved in later steps, would affect how the property is divided for the rail-trail project—a conversion of former railroad land into a recreational path. Residents who use or live near the Cauterskill Road area may see future changes to land use and access, but no binding decisions have been made.

The board also reviewed and approved minutes from its previous meeting. No other business was reported on the agenda.
