Residents seek changes to Hoosick Falls subdivision rules
Nearly 200 residents from all parts of the Town of Hoosick attend a Grange Hall meeting to back a petition urging changes to the Land Subdivision Regulations and the Building Code and Building Permit Review System adopted last year. A six member committee led by Gerald Harley drafted recommendations to present to the town board and planning board next Monday night. The rules, aimed at securing federal mortgages and flood insurance, affect residents outside the village and cover subdivision sketches and building permits for structures over 100 square feet. Critics argue the rules burden long-time landowners and favor conformity for family lots.
