Fields Lane is in an Office Park 1 zone.
By ‘Special Permit’ this zone allows:
Restaurants/Recreation
Hotel/Motel/Conference Facility
Warehouse/Storage
Light Manufacturing
As CRSE sees it there are several problems with current development
along Fields Lane. One is the number of Special Permits granted
by the Southeast Town Board. These permits often allow less desirable
forms of development. For example, more warehouse space rather than
the intended office use. This results in fewer quality jobs for
Southeast residents and additionally a lower tax base. With the
limited amount of useable land left there is little sense in granting
Special Permits that actually erode our quality of life rather than
enhance it.
The other problem on Fields Lane is its proximity to Holly Stream.
Because of this many of the recently approved projects have encroached
in the wetland buffers. One such approved project has since been
fined by the DEP for pollutants entering Holly Stream.
CRSE believes that our strict wetlands regulations be strictly enforced.
Otherwise they afford little protection for our watershed.
