cluster development Upstate, NY

This project represents a proposed alternative cluster-development scenario for a large parcel currently zoned for low-density, large-lot single-family residential development located on the periphery of a mid-sized City in upstate New York. 

The intent behind the proposal is to provide a range of much needed market-rate housing types, in a community format which preserves a much greater percentage of open space and natural habitat, including critical stream buffers, and existing agricultural land-use, more consistent with traditional rural settlement patterns, including open pasture and horse paddocks, as well as mature tree stands and walking and biking trails connecting to the larger regional network.

The development is centered around a small inn, containing a small restaurant or tavern, limited overnight lodging, and modest event facilities, as an amenity and gathering spot for on-site residents and those in the immediate area.  The project also includes a small mixed-use grouping along an abutting rural highway, providing additional goods and services to the larger community.
