BILL NUMBER: S8341

SPONSOR: LITTLE
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the
classification of historical lands and buildings located within the
forest preserve

 
PURPOSE:

This bill relates to the classification of historical lands and build-
ings located within the forest preserve.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 adds a new subdivision 3 of section 816 of the executive law
to include any lands or buildings located within the forest preserve
that are listed or eligible to be listed on the national register of
historic places shall be considered for historical classification by the
Adirondack Park Agency (APA) and consult with the department of environ-
mental conservation in developing unit management plans (UMPs).

Section 2 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The Forest Preserve holds over 2.6 million acres of state land within
the Adirondack Park full of lands rich in recreational opportunity and
ecological significance. Unit Management Plans (UMPs) assess the
natural, physical, social and recreational resources of the landscape
and provide a solid foundation for the development of long-term land
management goals, objectives and actions. It is vital to the economy and
tourism of upstate New York to include historical lands or buildings
within this preserve to develop UMPs.

Several structures on this land have been saved by the state with a
historical land classification such as the St. Regis Mountain fire tower
and Great Camp Santanoni. Without a historical land classification, many
of these lands and buildings will be deemed as non-conforming structures
and subject to zoning requirements, therefore altering these historic
buildings.

This bill provides that any lands or building located within the forest
preserve that are listed or eligible in the national historic register
shall be considered for an historical classification by the APA, in
consultation with DEC, in developing unit management plans.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
