Philmont Planning Board approves large, expensive housing project on Summit Lake

Apr 20, 2023 1:03 am

On April 18 the Philmont Planning Board voted to approve The Woods, the Clover Reach Partners’ housing project in Philmont. Developers want to build 16 expensive single-family homes on 22 acres along Summit Lake in Philmont and initially got approval from the Planning Board last year. But an Article 78 lawsuit from a group of local citizens reversed that approval, so the planning board went through the process again, with a March 20 public hearing where a majority of residents speaking opposed the project, and evidence was introduced about the project's danger to bald eagles, while others complained the project did not get a full environmental review.
