The local land-use code hasn’t been substantially reviewed and rewritten since 2011. Dean Dietrich, representing a committee created by lawmakers last May to review the town-village code, outlined a few different ideas for updating the code. The suggestions included: ¯ Allow income-based housing developments to be built taller, up to 45 feet. ¯ Impose standards for lawn signs. ¯ Change the definition of “marina” to mean anyone with more than one docked boat not owned by them.

eizzo@adirondackdailyenterprise.com LAKE PLACID A proposed agreement between the town of North Elba and state Department of Environmental Conservation could pave the way for more hiker parking on two local roads, including Adirondack Loj Road. The 20-year agreement, authorized by the North Elba Town Council last week, would give the town the responsibility of paving the 2-mile unpaved section of Adirondack Loj Road leading up to the extremely busy Loj trailhead, which is operated by the Adirondack Mountain Club. The town would also be responsible for plowing the road during the winter. The agreement also says the town would be responsible for plowing “any new parking lot constructed on state lands to provide for public access to the Forest Preserve.”

ORDA is currently overseeing a large-scale, multi-million-dollar renovation project at the Olympic Center ahead of the 2023 World University Games. In the 1980 Rink, where the U.S. hockey team made history with a win against the heavily favored Soviet Union team during the 1980 Olympic Winter Games, the audience seating is being replaced.
