1 PETITION TO CORRECT ERRORS AND CLARIFY BOUNDARIES IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE HAMLET OF WHALLONSBURG PURSUANT TO SECTION 805 OF THE ADIRONDACK PARK AGENCY ACT The undersigned request that the Adirondack Park Agency consider the northeast corner of Whallons Bay Road and Christian Road in the Town of Essex to be included in the Hamlet of Whallonsburg because the Walker farmhouse and several other structures of accommodation and farming at this corner, as pre-existing development, were always within the settlement known as the Hamlet of Whallonsburg. The Walker farm included a large part of the Hamlet west of Christian Road. According to the Adirondack Park Agency's Citizen Guide: Hamlet boundaries usually go well beyond established settlements to provide room for future expansion. The Walker farmstead was always well within the established settlement of the Hamlet of Whallonsburg; therefore, according to the Citizen's Guide, the Hamlet boundary should "go well beyond" the old Walker farmstead to the north and to the east. This correction could be made. As the Agency develops a record in support of this correction and clarification, it will be revealed that the official map and land use quadrants of the Agency depicted the Hamlet of Whallonsburg as "indefinable" by established regional boundary criteria for at least 20 years according to the attached Agency

2 document of acres were taken from Resource Management into the southeast corner of the Hamlet in 1993 so as to include farm lands. If this can be done, Walkers Corner should be included in the Hamlet, particularly when the main road within the Hamlet is Walkers Road and the Walker farm was always within the settlement. It is time to correct the error of excluding Walkers Corner from the Hamlet of Whallonsburg. The attached drawing describes the pre-existing development of the Walker farm, on Walkers Corner, in relation to current structures. NAME ADDRESS DATE wi A2Y4 7 J /60 & /?
