Town of Carmel Master Plan

The Revised Comprehensive Plan and more information is available on line. It can also be accessed on the Town of Carmel web site.

Background:

The Town of Carmel is developing a new Master Plan.  The Master Plan will specify how the Town will be developed.  It will evaluate whether and in what areas the Town can safely accommodate future development.

The Master Plan will consider traffic conditions, water supply, recreational facilitates, open space, sewerage capacity and school overcrowding.

The Carmel Town Board has hired Buckhurst FIsh & Jacquemart, Manhattan-based planning and engineering consultants, to prepare the master plan.

The Master Plan is being developed to comply with the Watershed Agreement with New York City.  New York City will pay $125,000 of Buckhurst's $147,000 fee.

As part of the development of the Master Plan, the Town is also expected to rewrite Town's zoning and subdivision laws.

Residents' participation in the development of the master plan is essential.  It will effect how much and the type and quality of development will occur in your neighborhood.  Participation in this process is the best way you can protect the property value of your home and the quality of life in your neighborhood.

Below are articles, residents' comments and copies of the January 2000, March 2000, June 2000, and February 2001  draft  Master Plans.
