Project Description: Construction of a second single-family dwelling on the 5.6± acre Rural Use portion of the project site (tax Lot 3.1). The 5.69± acres already contains one single-family dwelling, and thus the proposal is a subdivision into sites for the purposes of Agency jurisdiction. The new single-family dwelling (maximum footprint of 3,000 square feet, maximum height of 40 feet) will be located approximately 160 feet from the shoreline of Lake George and will be served by its own on-site wastewater treatment system and on-site water supply; the wastewater treatment system absorption area will be located on the easterly side of Shelving Rock Road in the Resource Management area (tax lot 3.7). The driveway will follow an existing dirt road. Existing trees will be retained between the dwelling and the lake.
