Royce Road ruminations
Residents scrutinize three-phase development in Bethel
By FRITZ MAYER
WHITE LAKE, NYRoyce Road is a bucolic country road with widely spaced houses on properties ranging from 10 to 40 acres. One resident, Ted Jessup, said he sometimes counts as few as eight cars a day passing in front of his century-old farmhouse. But if a planned shopping mall and hotel complex comes to fruition, the road would be expanded to three lanes and traffic could spike significantly. The proposed three-phase project is before the Bethel Planning Board.
Phase one of the project includes five buildings, totaling some 60,000 square feet, with parking for more than 160 cars. Phase two includes an 85-room hotel. Phase three features 18 luxury town houses.
