Requirements for size / price / units that can be built:

Garden Home site

 development in treed area/ 8 units in 2.8 acres @ $25,000 each / limited cutting of trees 

  

Let's save the trees!

Duplex  $37,500 for minimum 20,000 sq ft

4-plex minimum 1 acre $47,500

8-plex:  minimum 2 acres $89,500

Plan for one 8 plex

Plan for two 4 plexes

Plan for four duplexes

Plan for eight garden home-sites
Will give a letter of intent to the possibility of moving an existing 8 plex (55'x60') located at mile 4.  Otherwise plan 3 townhouse complexes of 3 units each

Approx 8.8 improved acres of multi family / plus snow storage platted already

Approximately 275' wide by nearly 1,400 feet deep along Aurora Street in Northern Lights Subdivision / or 402,981 improved square feet in entire parcel
 

Price would be $375,000 cash for the entire parcel or

$1.10 per sq ft for a minimum of two acres less-treed-area to $1.25 per sq ft treed parcel / Minimum we would sell for an 8 unit complex for instance

Consider building a duplex with only 4 bedrooms total

(A one bedroom side/ a 3 bedroom side)

For 20,000 sq ft would range from $27,500 - $35,000
Snow storage already set aside and platted, so other parcels do not have to take out an area for snow storage, per platting requirements. 

Water line installed properly  *

Thinking of the future - Larger sized pipe than just this project needed

  

Water Line also insulated, and carefully covered *

regarding multi-family structures needing septic systems.

Rusty said any residential units larger than a single family unit need to have engineered septic systems and must go through DEC for approval.


1) An 8-plex with water & sewer requires a minimum of 17,000 sq. ft.
but 20,000 square feet is required for an 8-plex with only water available (minimum of .46 AC)

2) There has to be 12 parking spaces with 1 handicapped plus a fire lane completely around the building that is open at all times.

3) The total improvements cannot exceed 40% coverage of the lot.

4) The required setbacks are 20’ front yard, 10’ side yard & 15’ back yard.

5) A Duplex with water & sewer requires a minimum of 8,800 sq. ft. but 20,000 sq. ft. is required for a duplex with only water

Note:

These are bare minimum requirements so the soil conditions for the septic need to be considered. Soils testing needs to be done to determine if more area is needed to accommodate that large of a septic system and is there adequate area to replace the system if it fails. These questions would have to be determined by an engineer.

Besides the purchase of the unimproved 9 acres,

I put funds of an Alpine Woods lot ($26,500) into the project

and still want to pay the balance of phase II improvements I owe a relative
