TOWN OF SOUTHEAST – Morefar, a private membership club and golf course situated on 700 acres of land on Federal Hill Road at the New York-Connecticut border, hopes to demolish several structures and reconstruct, or renovate others.
The major renovation of the course that opened 62 years ago also proposes redevelopment of the existing 18-hole golf course.
Representatives of Back O’Beyond, which owns the course, met before the Southeast Planning Board to review the proposed modifications that also include tree removal and making the fairways wider.
The board was asked to waive the need for a tree survey due to the size of the project, and since the plan already shows where tree removal will take place.
Town Planning Consultant Ashely Ley suggested that a survey of a limited portion of the site be completed, which can be used to develop a projection for the entire area.
While some trees will be coming down, others will be planted including 340 native trees and 2,000 shrubs.
The next step for Morefar is to have a State Environmental Quality Review Act determination completed.
