The largest portion of the space would be between the parking lot and our third green.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click Here: <a href='https:\/\/www.ififaplayer.com\/fifa-player-jersey\/paulo-dybala-jersey-sale' title='Paulo Dybala Jersey Sale'>Paulo Dybala Jersey Sale<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The entire property is 217 acres. Only 31 acres would be developed, making it fundamentally low-density development, with roughly one unit per overall acre, he said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would deed restrict the balance,&#8221; he said, blocking future development by everyone including Paramount, and ensuring it remains undisturbed and protected open space.<\/p>\n<p>Many things are still being decided, including how many units would be set aside for first responders and what &#8220;affordable&#8221; will mean.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to be 100 percent transparent and we don&#8217;t know the answers to those questions yet,&#8221; Lapper said. &#8220;We are still in negotiation. I couldn&#8217;t tell you the exact pricing and the exact size.<br \/>they will be commensurate with the other units.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The project provides other substantial benefits for the community, he said, including tax revenues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to provide $3 million for Clarkstown and the Clarkstown school district,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We hired a property tax expert to arrive at that number and validated it with local officials.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also, it fills a real estate niche that has proven popular elsewhere, he said. There&#8217;s been a migration of age-in-place folks to Westchester, for example, who want this kind of residential community. &#8220;Nowhere is there a combination of housing and golf course in Rockland County.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new housing options would come with access to exclusive amenities like dining, golf, pools, tennis, pickleball, and a gym.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our existing members will benefit,&#8221; Lapper said. &#8220;We fully intend to enhance and expand racket sports, swimming, add wellness features as well as enhance our already world-class food and beverage features even further.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A crucial aspect of the development is the stabilization of Paramount Country Club, which serves as a catering venue for social activities including weddings, family parties, charity outings and business gatherings. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The club is doing fantastic, probably the best since we took it over more than 15 years ago,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Golf is enjoying a renaissance, our membership continues to grow, the condition of our course and facilities are better than before. We are very popular for local and regional events.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The club has always looked at the possibility of smart development, he said, years ago developing a plan which was shelved. This proposal is sensible development that keeps the open space and builds a plan for the club&#8217;s longterm health, he said. They feel it will be a net benefit to the entire community, to the business community and to existing members.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The family has been in this business for decades, they deliver super-high-quality residential development,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>They have submitted a preliminary site plan and are seeking re-zoning. &#8220;In the process of development all the parties have the ability to push other parties to compromises and solutions,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more at www.paramountandclarkstown.com<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k SubscribeCTABlurb_SubscribeCTABlurb__M_Azu\">\n<hr\/>\n<p>Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.<!-- --> Sign up for free Patch newsletters and alerts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW CITY, NY \u2014 The owners of the Paramount Country Club have proposed a plan to keep the club sustainable, fill a niche in the housing market, preserve green space and offer opportunities to local first responders. &#8220;This visionary project represents a balanced approach to development, blending the need for new, high-quality residential options with &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onhee.com\/?p=14532\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Paramount Club Proposes 3-Pronged Development, Preservation Plan&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14532\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onhee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
