New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle Q - Adirondack Park Agency › Chapter II - Regulation of Land Use and Development and Subdivision of Land › Part 572 - Procedures for the Review of Projects › Section 572.6 - General requirements for the review of large scale projects or other projects to be undertaken in sections

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Permits may be granted for the
				  development of large scale projects or other projects to be undertaken in
				  sections, subject to conditions relating to improvements and services for and
				  completion of the total project that the agency deems reasonable and
				  necessary.
(b) No application for a
				  large scale project or other project to be undertaken in sections shall be
				  deemed complete unless it contains sufficient information as to design of the
				  entire project to allow the agency to assess the impact of the entire project
				  pursuant to section 809(9) or 809(10)(e) of the Adirondack Park Agency Act. The
				  agency may request additional information as to the entire project before
				  determining complete the permit application for initial section(s).
(c) In addition to details as to final design
				  of those sections of the project which the sponsor desires to develop first, an
				  application for the review of a large scale project or other project to be
				  undertaken in sections shall contain the following, unless demonstrated by the
				  project sponsor not to be pertinent:
(1)
				  Maps.
(i) A project site base map, at a scale
				  appropriate to the project, showing ownership boundary lines, the boundary of
				  the project (if not identical with the property boundaries), owners of
				  inholdings, if any, adjoining and adjacent landowners, existing facilities,
				  buildings and structures on the site, streams (including intermittent streams),
				  rivers, ponds, lakes and existing roads.
(ii) A soils map, at the same scale as the
				  project site base map, delineating all soil series at an appropriate level of
				  detail.
(iii) A slope map, at the
				  same scale as the project site base map, indicating contour elevations at
				  intervals to be determined by the agency, and shaded to show slope categories
				  of 0-3%, 3-8%, 8-15%, 15-25%, and 25%+.
(iv) A critical areas map, at the same scale
				  as the project site base map, indicating:
(a)
				  fragile lands such as shorelines and wetlands;
(b) rare or valuable ecosystems and
				  geological formations;
(c)
				  significant wildlife habitats;
(d)
				  unique scenic or historic areas;
(e) natural hazard lands such as 100-year
				  floodplains, areas frequently subject to weather disasters, and areas of
				  unstable geological, ice or snow formations; and
(f) renewable resource lands such as aquifers
				  and aquifer recharge areas, mineral resource areas, significant agricultural
				  lands, public watershed lands, areas presently visible from public roads or
				  waterways, and areas that will become visible upon completion of the
				  project.
(v) A
				  generalized resource capability map, at the same scale as the project site base
				  map, indicating, through the use of overlay shadings and a development
				  limitation rating system, the cumulative limitations to development due to the
				  above resource maps. This map should be done prior to any survey, engineering,
				  site layout or design work.
(vi) A
				  proposed general development map, at the same scale as the project site base
				  map, showing generally areas of proposed development; the approximate number of
				  lots and average size or other type of development in each general area; areas
				  proposed to be retained as open space; the plan map land use area boundaries;
				  the location of proposed facilities such as dams and impoundments, community
				  water systems, storm drainage systems, community sewerage systems, industrial
				  wastewater discharges, and waste disposal areas; the proposed primary road
				  network; and all areas to be disturbed by construction activities.
