The Adirondack Park Agency in New York has opened the public comment period on several development projects across the region, including a large-scale expansion of the Sunset Bay RV Resort in the Town of Mayfield.
The review process is already underway, and residents and stakeholders are being encouraged to submit comments online.
The Mayfield project proposes the addition of a 357-unit RV campground next to the existing Sunset Bay resort.
The expansion would be under common ownership with the current property and is designed to share certain utilities and amenities.
Plans call for new entrances, buildings, and recreational facilities as part of the development.
According to an article published by Adirondack Almanack on August 27, the expansion includes construction of three 600-square-foot bathhouses, two 480-square-foot office and registration buildings, a 2,400-square-foot community building and pool house, two sport courts, and an outdoor amphitheater. The campground would connect to a new municipal sewer system.
The design also involves relocating the existing entrance along Paradise Point Road and creating a new main entrance from New York State Route 30.
Project documents indicate that utilities and certain amenities will be shared between the existing resort and the new campground.
In addition to the Mayfield proposal, the Adirondack Park Agency is reviewing a subdivision request in the Town of Hague.
That project would divide a 13.72-acre parcel into four lots. Three of the new lots, ranging from 0.93 acres to 8.76 acres, would merge with adjoining properties that already contain single-family dwellings and require agency approval.
The fourth lot, at 1.51 acres, contains an existing dwelling and does not require a permit.
Another proposal under review involves utility upgrades in the Town of Lake George. Plans call for replacing 17 existing utility poles ranging in height from 29 feet to 38.5 feet with new poles between 34 feet and 43 feet. Two additional poles, standing 38.5 feet and 43 feet, would also be installed along the existing overhead transmission line.
In Broadalbin, a variance application is up for comment concerning a pre-existing retaining wall within the shoreline setback of Kennyetto Creek. The project involves replacing and expanding the wall to support fill associated with the installation of an improved on-site wastewater treatment system, located further from the creek.
