42 Lot Subdivision Proposed for Alton Bay

[upthesaukee]

Town water: The shiny cover just north of Bay Hill Rd & Rte 28 is a storage tank. The water area going out rte 11 westbound goes to Boat Cove, and GH, you're right, west of Back Bay bridge, it is seasonal water. It goes up Rand Hill Rd to the Advent campground, and all the cottages therein, and I believe down Spring street (not sure here.). Out 28A to about abeam Sandy Point (M&M, you could be close to the last of the service area. Uptown and out Rte 140 as Argie's Wife pointed out.

A lot of the pipes are old, and need replacing, keeping the water dept pretty busy.

Pumps are behind Jones Field, Levey Park, and I believe next to the water dept, next to the fire station on 140.

UPS - You are right about old pipes that need to be REPLACED. I can't believe every spring that the water dept. does patches on the lines near the Back Bay bridge. Instead of putting in 1 length of PVC and being done with it, every spring they dig up the old pipe and do patch work. Last May when I walked down to the post office the water dept. had at least 6 or 7 patches of fresh black top within a 50 feet stretch near the bridge. This is an annual occurence as can be seen by the # of patches along that stretch of the shoulder. For goodness sake, put in 1 50 foot section of new pipe and be done with it!!! (or is this job security???)

I am having trouble figuring out exactly where the property under consideration is located. If I read the story correctly (but I confess I couldn't read it all), it is lakefront? As far as I can tell from our trips from Echo Point to the bay, there isn't any lakefront left. The only undeveloped property I can see are the camps (Kabeyunk, etc.)

This subdivision will a major blight on the hillside over rte28A, north of Dan Kelley Drive and accessible from rte 28. It will be another Lakewood, where there will be much clear cutting.
