Dear Chairman Butts and Planning Board Members,

The applicant will not be able to complete the driveway improvements and arrange the inspection
with the Fire Chief until sometime in July.

Additionally, the applicant will need time to fully fund the escrow account, therefore
David Clouser and John Furst have not been able to complete their review and comments.

The applicant respectfully requests an adjournment of the public hearing until July 28,
2010.

If you have any questions, please email me at jgjansen@verizon.net or call me at 845-

Sincerely,
JANSEN ENGINEERING, PLLC

Dear Mr. Butts, 
I respectfully request that the Planning Board close the hearing on the Divyanand Spiritual Foundation. The organization should begin the process again when all the work is done in compliance, and escrow is in order. 
There should also be a procedure and timeline put into place for future applications so as to avoid situations such as this. It is not an efficient use of your time, nor of the many residents who care about the community and its future. 
Please read this into the minutes at the meeting. 
Thank you, 
Caryl Herson 
262 Homan Road 
Stanfordville, NY 12581
