This old club house, was built in 1975 on 2 acres in a small subdivision for 3 and 4 bedroom single family houses on County Rt.25 in an R-1 district. It was used as a club house until 2008, because of structural problems it was abandoned in 2009. This property was sold by Sullivan County in 2011 which returns this property back to native use, which means NO grandfathered rights. Phil Geras put forth an application to add on to the club house and convert this to a commercial, high density 10 family dwelling on a 3 acre parcel in a R-1 district. We feel this application to convert this club house to 10 family units is far outside the legal allowances for a conforming 3 acre plot in an R-1 district and respectfully ask the Planning Board to send this project to the Zoning Board of Appeals for review of overall legality. This petition represents the support of the Tusten community that believes Philip Geras proposed commercial multi-family building project in an R-1 District requires extensive review on impact and legality.

WRONG DEVELOPMENT FOR THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD

This is not complying with our zoning number one. The plans for the capacity of this development cannot safely exist in such a small lot size. The septic plan is unrealistic. It is also near wetlands on county 25, & the Ten Mile River/ Luxton Lake wetlands. There is no demographic need for this type of housing in Narrowsburg. If we let this type of bad development decision making go on in our town, likely a chain reaction. That is why our town has laws in place in the best interst of the community.
Too many people in small space
Know your zoning laws! It's all that protects us from exploitive developers.

This property was never meant to hold that many people. The infrastructure on 25 is already struggling and adding 10 families is just asking for disaster. Keep the R-1 zoning as is!
