    comments dont show divide..they show people are against this…….ever since I was a small child my Grandfather worshipped the untouched beauty and nature of this area…..it should not be changed…..

    Another comment worth mentioning is if you watch David Attenboroughs….Netflix program…..Worldwide this year..2020…we have only 23% left that is wild untouched land ….we need to cherish and carefully watch over what we have left…..or we will have none……

    “Once the park agency makes a ruling, then we will take something to the town and park agency and see if it’s realistic, but right now, there is no plan.”

    Anybody want to put money on the fact that “… right now, there is no plan.”?

    When more neighbors were “informed”. There were more letters of opposition filed with the APA. My concern is WHY did the town file for this amnendment? Why not the landowner himself? What is the “past practice” record of the town dealing with the APA on the behalf of an individual?

    Please don’t let it become a mini lake george, over development everywhere. Greed smashing the environment over the head.

    *Update*. Mr. Reed is at it again. He already has a sign up advertising his development as “Coming Soon”. And a website that show cases a local builder who just happens to be on the Town Zoning Board. When I brought this to the attention of the town attorney, Mr. Reed removed that builder’s name but left the photos of homes constructed by that individual. http://snowgreenvalley2020.com/NEARBYHOMES.html
