FAQs • Development Services - Magee Ranch Development Page
Table 3-2 (page 3-11) of the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (Revised DEIR) provides a summary by parcel. It’s important to note that both the Danville General Plan and Town’s Zoning district for the Agricultural and Rural Residential Land Use Designations permit residential uses.  Specifically, this property’s zoning of A-2; General Agricultural District permits “a detached single-family dwelling on each parcel and the accessory structures and uses normally auxiliary to it” by right.  The zoning allows up to one home per five acres. 

5.
How does the General Plan or Zoning District allow 69 lots on Agricultural land?

As a first step in the Town’s development review process, a lot study is undertaken to determine a property’s maximum allowable development potential.  This study takes into account the property’s permitted density (example: up to one home per five acres) as well as the relevant development standards that apply (example: no development within 100 vertical feet of a ridgeline or on slopes in excess of 30-percent, etc.).  The conclusion of this study was that the Magee Ranch property had the right to request a maximum of 78 lots.  In 2010, SummerHill Homes submitted a development application for 85 homes.  Through the environmental review process, the proposal was reduced to 78 homes in 2011 and subsequently to 70 homes by late 2012.  In response to comments that surfaced through the Draft EIR prepared for the original project, the unit count was reduced further to 69 homes.  

6.
Why can't the property be preserved in its current farmland state?

A city’s General Plan outlines the development rights of every parcel within its limits.  In this case, the property’s General Plan land use designations and its corresponding zoning districts allows up to 78 lots.  Denying a landowner the ability to request a development proposal consistent with the General Plan could constitute an unconstitutional taking of private property rights. 

7.
What is Measure S?

On November 7, 2000, the voters in Danville approved Measure S, which amended the Town’s General Plan.

FAQs | Madison County, NY
Make sure to secure your garbage to help keep Madison County roads safe and clean.Why do I need a punch card and where can I get one?Residents that drop off garbage and other bulky items at our transfer stations need to buy a punch card before visiting. Punch cards are sold at the landfill scale house, village and town clerk offices, and other local businesses across the county. Punch cards are not sold at transfer stations. View a list of local businesses that sell our punch cards.  Can I recycle plastic items that have a #1-7 on them?Unfortunately, not all plastics can be recycled in our program. In an effort to educate the public on what plastics can and cannot be recycled, we have moved our messaging away from using the #1-7 symbols. These numbers reflect the type of plastic used to make a product and does not mean that an item can be recycled. Instead, our messaging focuses on the shape of the material such as plastic bottles/jugs that have a "neck" or taper at the top and plastic dairy tubs. Several other communities have moved away from the number messaging as well in order to limit contamination in their recycling stream.

Landfill Options | Madison County, NY
Cornerstone states in the report that unless the County makes changes to the current system, waste disposal fees will have to increase to fully fund the program’s annual costs, as well as the future costs of landfill closure and post-closure monitoring.The County evaluated the following alternatives to improve the long-term financial viability of the Solid Waste Department:1) Status quo: County would continue current operations, with the implementation of some efficiency measures, such as closing some of the transfer stations and beginning to charge a fee for recyclables.  If Madison County were to stay status quo, tipping fees would go from $88 to $125/ton in 2024 to fully fund the current programs, and as high as $150/ton in 5 years to comply with upcoming regulations.Punch Cards would go from $20 to $30 to fully cover costs of operations.  2) Close the Landfill:  Closure of the Madison County Landfill and construction of a transfer station to send waste elsewhere.   This alternative was ruled out, as it does not achieve the ultimate goal of long-term financial stability and sustainability.3) Public-Private Partnership:  A public-private partnership for operation and maintenance of the Madison County Landfill, which is an advantageous, cost effective alternative.  Madison County put out a request for proposals this past year and reviewed the submissions.  As of March 26, 2024 the Solid Waste Committee says that based on a thorough and ongoing review of available options, the Board has determined that a public-private partnership is not currently the best available option and is no longer a course of action currently being pursued 4) Public-Public Partnership: This became an option in  2023 after another New York State county-run waste management operator responded with interest as part of the competitive RFP process. Additional review and analysis will be required if the Committee and Board decide this is a favored option for preservation. 5) Madison County Increases Volume of Waste: Madison County continues to operate the landfill, by accepting sufficient volumes of out-of-County waste to achieve profitability and long-term sustainability.  This alternative was vetted further by Cornerstone Engineering, their draft report can be found here.  The Board of Supervisors is committed to gathering all of the information possible to make a determination of what the future of the waste management system is here in Madison County.  This document will be updated as more information is available.
