Landowner outlines 15-lot subdivision proposal on McAndrews Road
Summary
Malcolm Lane told the Town Board he plans a two-phase subdivision of nearly 100 acres into 15 lots with deed restrictions banning mobile homes and further splitting; Phase 2 would include a private gated road and some small homes may be built on site.
Malcolm Lane presented a preliminary plan on June 12 to subdivide just under 100 acres on McAndrews Road into about 15 lots, most roughly 5 acres and two slightly above 2 acres. He said each lot would have more than 200 feet of road frontage and electric service along the road.
Lane said the development would be built in two phases. He described Phase 2 as including a proposed private gated road with deed restrictions and covenants that would run with the lots, specifically prohibiting mobile homes and further lot splitting. Lane said he might build small houses on some lots, estimating homes of roughly 900–1,000 square feet and total lot-plus-home values of $150,000 to $200,000. He also said motor homes could be allowed short term, "no longer than 18 months."
Supervisor Fion MacCrea noted the town and MACE would review the plan and consult the town attorney; MacCrea raised the possibility that the subdivision could be treated under the town's cluster development rules or State subdivision laws. The board flagged fire and ambulance access and said any road serving residences must meet town specifications and be deeded to the town if public; Lane said a public road built to state standards could make prices prohibitive, which is why he proposed a gated arrangement that would remain unlocked for emergency access.
Lane said restrictions would be recorded with the lots and that purchasers would still need zoning and building permits plus septic and well approvals before construction. The board did not vote on the plan; members directed staff to review the proposal with MACE and the town attorney.
