Two Public Hearing Dates & 2013 Meeting Schedule Approved

Clarkstown Town Board sets public hearings on Neighborhood Shopping zoning and the boundaries of the Nanuet Fire District

 

The Clarkstown Town Board scheduled public hearings for Tuesday, Nov. 20 and Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 8 p.m. The hearing next week concerns final approval of the map designating boundary lines for the Nanuet Fire District. Rockland County GEIS created the map, which has been approved by the Nanuet Fire District Board of Commissioners.  

The Dec. 11 public hearing seeks input on amending local law to allow Neighborhood Shopping zoning. The measure is explained as furthering the “goals and objectives of the town’s Comprehensive Plan by allowing for areas of small commercial and mixed use development.” 

At Thursday’s meeting, the board also approved its monthly meeting and workshop schedule for 2013. Workshops are typically held once a month on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.  and board meetings are held monthly on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. See the attached PDF for specific dates.

The board approved tax certiorari refunds to Sunshine Associates LLC for 151 North Main Street in New City for 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011, 2011/2012 and 2012/2013.

For 2008/2009 and 2009/2010, the property tax assessment was reduced from $1,130,500 to $1,1,07,900 with a refund of $964.16.  For 2010/2011, the assessment decreased from $1,130,500 to $1,040,100 at a cost of $2,132.17.  The assessment was reduced for 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 from $1,130,500 to $1,085,300 at a cost of $1,112.11 to the town.

Why not cut out the middle man and just send the money directly to the religious schools.

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant
Tom Nimick June 11, 2013 at 09:23 pm
Mr. Pointing says that an issues conference is unusual. The unusual step is called for because thisRead More project is highly unusual; it is unprecedented. This French-owned water company wants to implement its pet technology at our expense - it makes sense for the company because the project makes lots of money. There is information available that calls into question the "definitive" studies carried out by the water company. Of course they found that their technology was the best option - what a surprise! They have not made the case that they carried out a disinterested examination of the issues in the public interest. Yes there are still issues. Also, stop threatening us with increased costs from delay. First, it does not make sense and second, you are trying to bully us into accepting your proposal. That is one more sign that something is wrong in your proposal.

An issues conference will be a wast of time and money. So many ' issues ' have been pulled out ofRead More thin air. The people who organized against the plant will just keep saying the same thing. No amount of info will be enough, no answer will be accepted. The issues conference will be a circus of endless questions, ideas, and demands. Haverstraw bay reclassified as drinking water will better protect it, provide an endless supply of water and finally help end the stereotype of the Hudson being polluted Recommend

There were no open meetings. I attended the April meeting and Mr. Lettre was directed by the TownRead More Board to return with more precise estimates and to include options for other upgrades. I have attended every meeting of the Town Board since that time and Mr. Lettre never returned in an open meeting. Mr. Borelli indicated that Mr. Lettre had addressed his concerns directly and privately. According to the Open Meetings Law, the deliberations of the Town Board are to be open and visible to the public. Private individual meetings or communications with members of the Town Board so as to avoid open deliberations flouts the intent of the Open Meetings Law. Mr. Gromack's statement of other meetings is inaccurate and, since it was specifically in response to a question about open meetings, dishonest. Mr. Borelli, shame on you for accepting a private communication and not standing by your guidance to Mr. Lettre that he was to come back to an open meeting of the Town Board.

Borelli and Ho -Man are in the bag for Lettre. They are not Republicans...just political hacks forRead More Lettre. RINOS.

Cicadas emerging from their 17 year slumber.

Thanks for sharing, Grace! Your thoughts on their noise?
Grace Anthony Zemsky June 10, 2013 at 09:00 am
The traffic from the nearby Palisades Parkway is more of a noise nuisance than the cicada chorus.Read More (We have triple-paned windows because of it.) There is something almost musical about the hum of the cicadas. Of course, it may bother me more if I lived in the "affected area" and heard it constantly. Upon entering this nearby neighborhood, the sound crescendos. And yet, it can't be heard a couple of streets away. The drone of locusts is more bothersome than these 17 year cicadas.
