Deerpark Village

A Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) has been completed and accepted for the proposed action described below.

Deerpark Village, Inc.proposes to develop a 243 acre parcel into a 1,518 unit Planned Residential Retirement Community. The parcel is located on Wilson Road, and the site is located in a “Planned Residential Retirement District” (PRRD) Zoning District. The DEIS describes a cluster building layout as its main subject and also includes a description of a conventional subdivision layout in the "Alternatives" Section.

This development will provide townhouse style homes averaging 2 bedrooms in size. This development will be served by two (2) loop roads both beginning and ending on Wilson Road.

This development includes a 9.7 acre area to be used as a commercial/retail site. This development will also provide open space and on-site amenities. The project will be served by private, on-site community water and sewage disposal systems, including several wells and a surface discharge wastewater treatment facility.

The proposed action is the approval of a Comprehensive Development Plan by the Planning Board. Subsequent to such approval, no development can take place until the approval by the Planning Board of site plans and/or subdivision plans for individual stages of development, which reviews would, in each instance, also require further SEQRA review.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:

The potentially significant environmental effects of the proposal include:

1. Effects upon soils and topography
2. Effects upon ecology including vegetation and wildlife.
3. Effects upon surrounding land uses.
4. Effects upon socio-economic conditions including population, housing.
5. Effects upon utilities including water, sanitary sewers, stormwater management and solid waste.
6. Effects upon community services and facilities including emergency services and recreation/open space areas.
