1 Town of Union Vale Centers: The Town las
Town of Union Vale Centers: The Town last updated its Master Plan in 2001 and adopted its Zoning Law2002, with addional amendments over the years. The zoning recognizes the tradional hamlet of Verbank, but recommends focusing new development in the designated Town Center district along Route 55 in order to preserve the rural qualies of the Town.The populaon of the Town is 4,727 while the populaon in the Centers is 296, or6.3% of the total. Within the Centers are 87 residenal, 3 commercial, and 1 business/industrial, 4 public, and 27 vacant properes, according to Real Property Tax records.Verbank is a small historic Hamlet District in the northeast secon of the Town.Originally founded around several mill sites, acvies shied to the east around therailroad stop at Verbank Staon from 1869 through the 1930s. Now home to the Fire- house and Post Oce along Route 82, Verbank has a Town Park and a disncve linear green. The zoning allows some small-scale development, but emphasizes that new uses should not detract from the exisng residenal character.The Town Center District lies along Route 55 in the southwest corner of the Town.The area currently contains two school buildings, the transfer and recycling staon,and several highway commercial uses. With several large undeveloped parcels,including a Route 55 property owned by the Town, this district was intended toencourage mixed-use development. However, the setbacks, building coverage, andother zoning standards make hamlet-like development dicult. In 2003 a Town Center Commiee studied development possibilies and potenal changes to the Zoning Law, but there was not enough support for any signicant new development.Greenspaces: Union Vale has nine areas of connuous greenspaces with agricultural and natural land over 1,000 acres in size.
