The Ballston Lake Residential District is an area that is conducive to greater density for residential dwelling purposes due to its location and proximity to infrastructure, particularly water and sewer connections via extensions from existing systems. It also serves as a transition zone between the nearby or adjacent areas of higher density in the neighboring Town of Malta and the Ballston Lake Waterfront area. As such, this district is appropriate for a higher level of future residential development that also promotes open space, environmental protection, and maintenance of community character of the Round Lake, Sweet, Valentine and Lake Roads, provision of water and sewer infrastructure. It is also an area that is conducive, if conditions are appropriate, for traditional neighborhood design. Because this is an area suitable for higher residential density, this district is also established to promote provision of neighborhood amenities such as small parks and playgrounds, trails, and walkways in order to enhance pedestrian friendliness and the traditional neighborhood feel. Higher density is allowed with the expectation that more amenities will be required in order to enhance or create traditional-type neighborhoods.
