Orange County Holding Company, LLC is proposing to subdivide an undeveloped site of 636 acres formally known as the Basher Kill Subdivision. This site is located in the northeastern portion of the Town of Deerpark, Orange County and State of New York. The proposed development site is roughly bounded by railroad tracks to the north, NYS Route 211 and railroad tracks to the south, Otisville Road (County Route 61) to the east, and Port Orange Road to the west. The main access to the site would be from Otisville Road. The site is generally surrounded by similarly undeveloped land as well as single-family homes on the east and northeast borders of the property.

The proposed project involves the development and construction of 354 single-family units, two (2) isolated local retail developments, recreational facilities, private sanitary and water supply systems and an associated road network. The proposed project would contain  two unit types (with various models within those 2 types) including 161 townhouses and 193 detached dwellings on lots varying in size from 0.25 acres to over one (1) acre.

The project is situated in both the Rural Residential (RR) and Hamlet Mixed Use (HM-U) Districts.   It has been designed in accordance with the requirements of the Planned Residential Development (PRD) District as outlined in the Zoning Law.
The project would be serviced by an on-site wastewater treatment plant and drinking water production wells, including related treatment and storage facilities. The wastewater treatment plant will be designed to meet treatment levels that will be set by NYSDEC and will be designed in accordance with applicable standards and regulations of the NYSDEC, NYSDOH and the DWC. The treatment plant would be constructed with a surface discharge into the Basher Kill River in compliance with NYSDEC, NYDOH and DWC requirements. Stormwater management facilities would also be constructed to control and mitigate stormwater runoff from developed areas prior to discharge into the Basher Kill River.

Consistent with the principles of the PRD District, each street would provide a variety of architectural elevations and styles as well as a variety of home types, all part of a pedestrian oriented community that fosters the social aspect of neighborhoods. By placing homes closer together and on smaller lots, significantly more open space and a number of rural vistas can be preserved. The design of the project is also intended to preserve and highlight the site’s many natural features which include ponds, wetlands, woodlands and rural views. In addition to the preserved natural areas, landscaped open areas would offer outdoor space for public gathering and socializing.
