Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk, presented the Affidavit of Publication and the Notice of Posting; copies are labeled Exhibit 02-A-08 and made a part of these minutes.
Public portion:
Paul George, Palisades, is against his property, 46 Hey Hoe Woods, being included in this zone change because changing the zoning could affect the building of his current home. He asked, “Why is his property being included”? The original house, after acquiring all permits, has been demolished. Therefore, his current home doesn’t have historical value.
Alice Gerard, Palisades Historian, said the Hey Hoe Woods was included because it was originally included on the original map.
Bill Reddy, Deputy Town Attorney, said all of the houses, except two are in the Historic District. Since Hey Hoe Woods Road is a one-way dead end street, all of properties have an effect on each other. Most, if not all of the houses, are subject to the Historic District.
