Board elevates Fox Farms site‑plan amendment to Class 2 and deems referral incomplete

Aug 12, 2026

The Fox Farms amendment proposing three manufactured homes, yurts and supporting facilities on Route 14 was elevated to a Class 2 for tourism and traffic‑safety reasons; the county said plans lacked drainage, restroom details, DOT driveway spacing info, and potential wetlands identification and returned the referral as incomplete.

The full story

Staff presented a site‑plan amendment (Ref. 116) for Fox Farms proposing three manufactured homes, a pavilion, restroom facilities, storage, and yurts at State Route 14 near Seneca Lake. The chair said the location lies on a major tourism corridor and noted traffic‑safety concerns at a 55‑mph approach. "This is along 1 of our major tourism corridors, Route 14... On the other side of Route 14 is Seneca Lake," the chair said, urging elevation given the project's proximity to the lake and potential impacts.
