Elsie’s Meadow Senior Apartments
This 24-unit senior housing complex required the extension of a public roadway, as well as public water and sewer mains to serve the site.
Ensuring Accessibility
The ±2.2 acre project site is located off Buena Vista Drive in the Hamlet of Wallkill. Provided with the desired building layout, MNTM completed the site design for the project and worked with the Town of Shawangunk to receive the necessary approvals. Our involvement included the design of the parking lot, emergency service access, grading plan, stormwater conveyance and treatment system, and water and sewer services.
As a major concern of the Town of Shawangunk Planning Board was access to the site, MNTM designed a short public road extension to serve as a permanent turnaround. The extension of the road also included the extension of the public water and sewer mains in the roadway. Due to the location of the project site, the proposed road extension also included the design of public sidewalks to provide a walkable connection between the facility and the Hamlet. The extension of the water and sewer mains required the approvals from the Ulster County Department of Health (UCDOH) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).
