BETHEL - If all goes as planned, there will soon be more waterfront property on the market in the Town of Bethel.

Appearing before the Town of Bethel Planning Board on October 10, Steven Dubrovsky of Woodstone Development presented a plan to subdivide a parcel of land he purchased on the shore of the Toronto reservoir, just off of Moscoe Road. The proposed subdivision would create 19 parcels, all about five acres in size and all with water frontage.

Dubrovsky has already cut a road into the proposed subdivision and has also contracted, at a reported cost of around $50,000, for electric service to be run to the proposed lots. As of now, Dubrovsky says he has only a couple of clients definitely interested in building on any of the proposed lots.

Before final approval is gained, the road must be inspected by an independent engineer to ensure that it meets town requirements for private roads. Soil quality must also be tested to ensure septic systems put in place for any homes built are environmentally sound.

Best known for his high quality, high priced, custom built homes, Dubrovsky will appear again before the board on November 14 for a public hearing on the subdivision.
