<title>Boathouse case may go to highest NY court</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20286/20120810/boathouse-case-may-go-to-highest-ny-court</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 10, 2012) A groundbreaking legal case about which government can regulate boathouses isn’t over yet. The Grimditch family of Lake Placid hopes the state’s highest court will review a June 28 appellate court decision that ruled the town of North Elba does have jurisdiction over boathouses on Lake Placid. Previously, an Essex County judge had sided with the Grimditches, saying only the state can regulate boathouses because they’re on navigable waterways, not on land.

<title>North Country Dam Agency Draws Audit Rebuke</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5006/20041124/north-country-dam-agency-draws-audit-rebuke</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 24, 2004) The state comptroller is slamming the Hudson River Black River Regulating District for mismanagement and possible corruption.  The District manages dams and waterways stretch from the Fulton Chain and Indian Lake to the Hudson River and Great Sacandaga Lake.  As Brian Mann reports, an audit issued yesterday found that the agency lacked proper checks and balances for its six-million dollar budget.

<title>APA Cuts Violation Caseload, Drawing Praise and Concern</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4669/20040820/apa-cuts-violation-caseload-drawing-praise-and-concern</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 20, 2004) Over the last two years, the Adirondack Park Agency has worked to pare down a backlog of more than three thousand old enforcement cases.  These are alleged violations of the Park’s strict zoning and environmental laws. The APA now says ninety percent of those cases have been closed.  But some critics worry that the Agency still lacks the staff and the legal clout needed to enforce its own rules.  Brian Mann has our story.

<title>The Privately Owned Adirondacks Caps a Writing Career</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4559/20040722/the-privately-owned-adirondacks-caps-a-writing-career</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 22, 2004) For more than thirty years, Barbara McMartin has been one of the Adirondack Park’s leading thinkers and conservationists.  Though often controversial, McMartin is more than a gadfly.  Her books on the policy and history of the region have influenced a generation of politicians and activists.  Until recently, she chaired the state’s Forest Preserve Advisory committee. Her popular guidebooks have led hikers and paddlers into the remotest corners of the mountains.  McMartin’s latest book – which she describes as her last – details the complex history of private land ownership in the Park.  The Privately Owned Adirondacks was written while she struggled with cancer.  Brian Mann visited Barbara McMartin recently at her home in Canada Lake, to her talk about the book, her life and the future of the Adirondack Park. NOTE:  McMartin is scheduled to speak about her book Monday evening, July 27, 2004, at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 16, 2002) Conservation groups in the Adirondacks are praising a deal that will protect more than four thousand acres of forest and shoreline near Long Lake.  But the project also allows a prominent environmentalist to buy a 60-acre piece of shoreline property.  As Brian Mann reports, a plan to build a private home on the parcel has drawn sharp criticism: [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/1478/20020816/cedarlands-conservation-deal-near-long-lake-draws-praise-raises-eyebrows">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 13, 2001) Developers in Lake George will build fifty-five new timeshare condominiums on the lakeshore.  The move follows an out-of-court settlement, reached with the Lake George Association—a non-profit group that had fought to block the plan.  Brian Mann has details.

<title>Shoreline Development Boom Within the Adirondack Park Prompts Zoning Debates</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/1747/20011129/shoreline-development-boom-within-the-adirondack-park-prompts-zoning-debates</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 29, 2001) One of the great myths of the Adirondack Park is that state zoning regulations restrict or at least shape most development on private land. In fact, much of the real estate boom of the last decade has taken place on shorelines. Thousands of homes have been built in lakefront areas that are largely exempt from Park Agency control. As Brian Mann reports, critics of the zoning plan say the result has been a disaster for lakes and ponds in the Adirondacks.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 19, 2001) The state of New York has bought one-thousand acres of land near Saranac Lake. The land deal will preserve miles of undeveloped shoreline.
