Encroachment Planned in Pawling NY

According to the Pawling News Chronicle article by John M. Benson on 12 January 2007, a builder "is proposing to subdivide a property of 216.3 acres into 50 residential lots for single-family homes. The property is located on the eastern side of West Dover Road, north of Deerfield Ponds, with Mistover Farm the neighbor to the south, and the Appalachian Trail to the north."

"The final public hearing on the proposed Boniello subdivision on West Dover Road will be held by the Town of Pawling Planning Board at the business meeting on Monday, Feb. 5."

"There are two wetlands on the property, one a DEC wetland that extends from the Appalachian Trail into the center of the property and one town wetland in the southwest corner."

This trail-side construction has been under consideration by the Town of Pawling Planning Board since 21 March 2005. The article makes it sound like final approval is pretty much a done deal.
