Pocantico Lake Must Be Protected From Development
Pocantico Lake should be 100 percent preserved, as it was intended. Any development will totally ruin the lake and surrounding areas.
As a longtime Mount Pleasant resident, I have learned firsthand how the development of a cherished green space can go wrong.
The green space near my home that was part of the Summit office park was leveled; 26 luxury homes (Summit Estates) now occupy the area. I hiked with my children there for years, and we walked our dog there until recently. We were informed while walking our dog through the subdivision that “this is private property; you can’t walk here.” There are signs posted, but we thought they pertained to solicitors. The gent went on to say he pays taxes of $50,000, and that entitles him to chase me from where I tread previously for 30 years.
