GDC proposes a mixed-use development on the approximately 348-acre property with the following (see also, conceptual site plan and renderings): o 517 total dwelling units, including 10% below market-rate units  74 townhome units (for sale) • 7 – 6-unit attached units • 8 – 4-unit attached units  99-unit South apartment building (for rent) • Leasing office/clubhouse • Pool  Buildings A – D apartments (for rent) • Building A – 86 units • Building B – 86 units • Building C – 86 units • Building D – 86 units • Leasing office/clubhouse • Pool o 80-key hotel (4 stories) o Historic Fort House – adaptive reuse of historic building for management office o Trails o 18-hole Golf Course, open to public (existing to remain) o Permanent conservation area The Casperkill Golf Course was constructed in 1944 following agricultural use of the land. Consistent with IBM’s influence on the surrounding area, the Golf Course was used at one time as a country club for IBM. For the past several decades, the Golf Course has been maintained as a commercial recreation enterprise consisting of an 18-hole public golf course. For some time, the property has been considered for residential development and as part of the prior 2007 Comprehensive Plan and zoning updates, the Golf Course was zoned as part of the Crown Heights Center District. Nevertheless, the vision for this district, in part to encourage redevelopment with a traditional neighborhood aesthetic, has not been realized and the property remaines largely unchanged. Today, the property remains underutilized as a commercial golf course. The property’s unique natural resources and the sheer size of the property, largely void of buildings, adjoining longstanding low-scale residential neighborhoods presents an opportunity for a development that provides ample buffering to adjoining residences, protects sensitive natural resources, provides refuge and pedestrian connectivity, provides diverse housing options, and results in only limited commercial development along Route 9. The Applicant believes the proposed project meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan Update for the Crown Heights/Spackenkill area, which “is to maintain the stability and upkeep of housing for future generations of working families while seeking to provide safe trail and sidewalk linkages to recreation and other local services where possible.” In the Plan Update, the property is identified as an “Infill Opportunity Area” where a development could be served by existing infrastructure. The proposed development meets Goal #1 and Recommendations 1.1.1, 1.2.5, and 1.2.6, as follows: • Development is focused north of the Casperkill Creek in areas with greater previous disturbance, preserving environmentally sensitive areas. • The proposed development retains the golf course providing for ample buffers for existing neighborhoods. • The development provides a mix of housing types. • A publicly accessible trail system with trailhead parking will be provided. • The development conserves land with sensitive natural resources. • Limited commercial use is proposed on South Road. Additionally, the property exists amidst a regional commercial corridor with access to transportation, utilities, community facilities and other infrastructure, which meets Goal #2: (to) facilitate and focus future development to underutilized and infill sites that already benefit from existing access to transportation, utilities, community facilities and other infrastructure. Consistent with the recommendations of the Plan Update, the Applicant is seeking a zoning text amendment to enable the project’s development. It is proposed to eliminate the Crown Heights Center Overlay District (§210-24) mapping on this property and to replace it with the Casperkill Conservation Development District. The new zoning district, consistent with the Plan Update, would provide a development option that retains the golf course, protects the Casperkill Creek, conserves significant open space for public use, and creates a mix of housing, with limited commercial uses in proximity to South Road. The proposed zoning text amendment involves the following: • Maximum residential density limit; • Adaptive reuse of the Fort House; 2 • Mix of housing options; • Pedestrian and trail connectivity; • Compliance with affordable housing policy; • Permanent conservation; • No ability to use incentives elsewhere in the zoning regulations; and • Dimensional requirements suitable for the property. We look forward to speaking with you and members of the Town Board about the potential redevelopment of this site.
