BILL NUMBER:S5188
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to granting local governments in the Adirondack park the building rights on land acquired by the state
Purpose
To transfer building rights on land purchases by the state to the municipality in which the land was located.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 814 of the executive law, as added by chapter 348 of the laws of 1973, is amended to add the approved land use plan.
Section 2- adds a new subdivision 4 to section 816 of the executive law to provide that building rights on land acquire d by the state to be transferred to the local government in which the land is located. The use of such building rights shall be used within moderate intensity or low intensity land use area, located within three miles of a hamlet and not to be closer than one-tenth of a mile of a shoreline of a lake, pond or navigable river or stream.

Section 3-Contains the effective date
Justification
New York State has been purchasing private land in the Adirondack Park for many years. This has resulted in the loss of building rights in many of the communities in the Park. In order to ensure that permanent residents are able to continue to live in the Park and businesses are able to exist in the Park, these lost building rights should be transferred to the community in which the land acquired by the State is located. The building rights shall be provided for in the appropriate local land use program and shall be subject to the discretion on the legislative body of the local government. This legislation will allow for sustainable economic development for the hamlets located within the park.
