The March 18 meeting of the Planning Board began with a public hearing on the Brimmer Farm subdivision. The hearing lasted a half hour and no one appeared to comment on the plan. Board Chairman Jim Dunigan recused himself from the Board for the hearing and again after the opening of the meeting as the Board approved the four lot subdivision for the Brimmer Farm property in Hoosick, West of Route 22 in a residential and agricultural zone. The first lot contains a home with an existing driveway and 65 acres. The other lots are 35, 55 and 105 acres. Of the 510 total acres, 260 will be developed and 250 will remain undeveloped, encompassing 220 acres of forest and 30 acres agricultural.
