Planning Board grants Cortlandt Manor Hotel a third one-year extension

Cortlandt’s Planning Board granted a third one-year extension of conditional site development plan approval for the proposed Cortlandt Manor Hotel on September 1. The hotel was identified in the discussion at 2054 East Main Street. [p. 1] [p. 6] [p. 8] [p. 9]

This account is based on the Town-posted, certified transcript of the September 1, 2026 Planning Board meeting. It describes the extension and statements recorded that evening, not the project’s status today. [p. 1] [p. 47]

The request came in a letter dated August 10. Brian Sinsabaugh of Zarin and Steinmetz told the board that the applicant was seeking another extension of its site-plan approval. [p. 6] [p. 7]

Sinsabaugh described work with engineering to define the scope of sewer-main inspection. The transcript records Sinsabaugh saying, “Most recently, we’ve been working with engineering with regard to a scope, defining the scope of inspection of the sewer mains,” and also reporting work on monitoring reports. [p. 7]

On other approval conditions, the transcript quotes Sinsabaugh: “I think there are some other outstanding items as well in terms of conditions for the approval, including SWPPP. So those items will be addressed.” [p. 7]

Asked about returning in another year, Sinsabaugh answered, “Hopefully not. We’ll make a point to try to address each of those items to move forward, so.” The exchange did not supply a firm completion date. [p. 8]

The motion adopting Resolution 2026-20 received a second and was followed by a collective “Aye” in the transcript. No opposition was recorded. [p. 8] [p. 9]
