Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

[Cusefan0307]

Lysander is really built up just from the Raddison to just past the village of B’ville western border. From 690 to Plainville , north to the Oswego County line and west to the Cayuga County line has lots of acreage but probably very little infrastructure for water or sewers etc. There isn’t a lot of development though because Lysander doesn’t want it. Maybe Cayuga and Oswego counties would welcome it more. Getting past B’ville village and the river is a real problem, it would need new roads, highways to bypass that huge bottleneck.

There is one development just the other side of Byrne Dairy thats been slowly being built up.

You and my husband.

I'm shocked there hasn't been any residential buildup in the Inner Harbor area. What the hell is taking COR so long?

They're actively working on it. In the next 2 years you'll see more movement.

Hope that's true and the development is smart and a true neighborhood and not just a sea of isolated buildings surrounded by parking lots.

Correct. I was going to make a comment on my previous post that I assumed the current housing developments off 10 were connected to public services but was shocked to see they are all wells and septic. There's a hundred or so houses in a neighborhood setting - I didn't think the well and septic would work in such close quarters. Yes that area would be ideal if/when they do services.

I used to live in a development off of 10. We had natural gas for heat, but as you said above we had a well and septic. The water was great from what people told me was the Sand Ridge Aquifer.

Most of their staff are just now getting out of prison.

 

[PeteCalvin]

are you the worker i spilled a beer on?

That could have been me LOL!

 

[PeteCalvin]

LOL no, those folks got tips. I was stuck in the barn bagging salt potatoes. And working with some real characters.

Holy crap, I bet we worked together! I did everything I could to get on the Bakes so I could be released from the servitude of The Barn. Bakes and tips were the reason I worked there.

Man, OSHA would shut that place down in a second if they knew what us 16 year olds were allowed to do with forklifts!

That’s where I think Phoenix got their water. I guess there were water quality issues and they are switching to OCWA from Lake Ontario.

Acre plots, with properly designed and operating septic systems, and deep wells(60-80'} work. Shallow wells definitely not.

I was there (I think) in the summers of 86 and 87?

And hell yes OSHA would have had some things to say. One guy had his finger go through the sewing machine that stitched the bags. I hurt my back dumping the bags of potatoes into that huge hopper - that's a horror movie scenario waiting to happen.

On a few lucky occasions I got to work the bake, or direct traffic in that big grass lot at the back.

Phoenix got their water from the aquifer, not really a water quality issue causing the switch though. Phoenix pumping station was continually breaking down and connection to Ocwa was the most cost effective fix, as I understood it.

First big stage of chopping trees before the bats come back looks like it’s on time. Ground is pretty frozen so it made cutting trees easier. Next step is to hope for a little thaw to start removing stumps. Rail spur has been approved. Construction of that will allow for fill to come in to site via railroad and a conveyor belt system. Trucks can’t possibly meet that demand alone.

It’s already in process

I had a hairdresser at one point who lived in Phoenix, she was always complaining about the water and how she refused to drink it, nor use it for coffee etc but did use it for bathing and washing people’s hair.

2 years??? Prison jokes aside, what is the holdup?

I use water from the aquifer(private well) and it has no quality issues, Phoenix had problems with its pumping and distribution systems. Whether switching to OCWA fixes all, I could not say.

I was there in 87 and 88! I remember the guy who put his finger in the stitcher! I was there that day. He was one unhappy guy. I had a large bin of salt bags set down on my big toe when another kid hit release on the handcart as we were moving it into place. I let him have it. I remember a kid carved swear words into the larger potatoes and tossed them into the bags before they were stitched. He thought it was funny until a customer showed up one day with the taters in hand. Big John was on the warpath that day! He reamed all of us.

People alway poo poo well water. But Ive lived almost my whole life on well water. The water is always the cleanest and most pure. It gets a bad rap for no reason!!

There is no way I had "Hinerwadel's coworker" on my bingo card!

The only anecdote I will indulge was the day Johnny stormed into the barn in a big huff and burst out at full voice with WHO'S BEEN PUTTING HAND TOWELS IN THE SHLITTER?! (minus the L of course) All I could do not to break out laughing.

All wells are not created equal, drilled or driven wells with the well head at greater than fifty feet have a very good chance to be high quality water, assuming you do not hit a high sulphur deposit.. The shallower the well , the less likely you will have good water, and the more likely it will be subject to contamination.

It doesn't seem like the parcel will have as much residential but hopefully Shoppingtown Mall redevelopment can get off the ground soon. Huge spot and good location too.

I grew up on a well and septic. Sometimes our water would be brown…..
