Welcome to the Concerned Citizens For Smart Growth. We have setup this Blog for our community to share their comments.
For a year and a half the residents of Ballston have participated in the process of developing a master plan and zoning to protect our town. This plan was developed using the input of our residents and the plan seemed to be on target in preventing large scale commercial development. We had a size cap, protection of our lake corridor and in the 11th hour our town board voted out size cap restrictions and replaced them with having to apply for a PUD (planned unit development) for projects over 90,000 sq ft. Well that isn't really true, it hasn't been decided if it is just individual buildings over 90,000 sq ft or an agrigate of all the buildings square footage.
Call the Town Board and ask for size caps to be restored to the Plan and zoning to enforce the intent of the plan. To protect Ballston from uncontrolled growth and sprawl.
