Fallsburg, NY - No more bungalows. That was one of the provisions drawn up by the citizens and officials who compiled Fallsburg's new comprehensive plan. Approved by the Fallsburg Town Board, the plan doesn't go into effect until Jan. 1, and the board still has to revise the zoning laws.
Meanwhile, proposals have poured in from developers eager to beat the bungalow deadline: 46 new bungalows on Murphy Road in Fallsburg; 73 more bungalows on Heiden Road in South Fallsburg; 93 bungalows for the old Lakehouse Hotel near Woodridge. At the old Rosemond Campground near Woodridge, 29 bungalows are under construction, and the developers have asked to build a total of 177.
"The people are seeing that the end of the road is coming," said Ron Hiatt, lawyer for the Fallsburg Planning Board. "So we're seeing this rush to get them (proposals) in while they still can."
The Planning Board's not thrilled, but the members still have to follow the existing laws, said assistant chairman Ira Steingart. "Basically, until they change it, there's nothing we can do," he said.
