Supervisor Stewart
Noes: None
Sr. Peggy Scarano and Sr. Jude Miriam De Palma, members of the Community Development Block Grant Committee, indicated that they worked closely with James Dean, Superintendent of Highways and Stephen Munno, Senior Administrative Assistant, to write this grant application. The funding from this grant will allow the Town to make public facilities improvements. The Town intends to remove thirty architectural barriers (curb cuts), to rehabilitate the safety sidewalk routes in the hamlets of Blauvelt and Orangeburg. The removal of the barriers will take place along Western Highway, Orangeburg (between Orangeburg Road and Lowe Lane); Western Highway, Blauvelt, (between Mountainview Avenue and North Troop Road); Orangeburg Road, Orangeburg (north side, between Western Highway and Dutch Hill Road); Orangeburg Road, Orangeburg (south side, between Lester Drive and Dutch Hill Road) and Convent Road, Blauvelt (between Durfuss Lane and Van Wyck Road). These areas consist of 808 single-family residential parcels, one hospital, one group home, and one senior housing apartment complex. At least 43% of this area consists of low to moderate income households, senior citizens and people with disabilities. Removal of these barriers will enhance the mobility and/or accessibility for senior citizens and people with disabilities. This will allow them to safely cross streets, access shopping centers and public facilities. Up to thirty improvement cuts will be made, costing a total of $75,000. This project is part of a five-year plan, which was submitted to Community Development in 2009. The Town is applying for a total of $75,000 (estimate of $2,500 per curb cut) to remove these barriers.
Mr. Tompkins, Pearl River, supports this project.
The Town Board thanked Sr. Peggy and Sr. Jude for their hard work and for providing a CDBG application to provide safer sidewalks for our senior citizens and people with disabilities. Sr. Peggy has made a commitment over the last few years doing the CDBG grant and we appreciate her attention to detail.

Letters of comments and concerns, from the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, Orangetown Planning Board, Orangetown Building Dept., Orangetown Dept. of Environmental Management and Engineering, Rockland County Planning, Marriott International, Inc., Adler Consulting, and NYS DOT / John Collins Engineers, were received prior to this public hearing; copies are labeled Exhibit 1-B-12 and made a part of these minutes.
Geraldine Tortorella, attorney for applicant, presented and explained the amended site plan. The major amendment is to construct a 51,823 square foot Stop & Shop, instead of two retail buildings. She pointed out that all amendments are subject to Planning Board approval.
John Collins, applicant’s Traffic and Transportation consultant, said all of the results and recommendations in the earlier traffic study were carried over to a more recent study. He said, there will be a minimum impact from traffic. He still recommended that traffic recounts, to better time intersections, be done about six-months after the subsequent opening of this project. The Town’s traffic consultant concurred with the methodology, trip rates, distribution and the findings that were used.
Mr. Skip Lebarr, Marriott, said a Residence Inn is for the purpose of an extended stay (5 days or more), used by the business community, and is a high end product for Marriott.
Rick Birdoff, FB Orangetown, LLC, confirmed they are confident they will not need to be back before the Town Board on the bases of hardship, saying we need retail instead of the second hotel.
Summary of Public Comments:
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, supports this project and asked where the public bus will turn around. She opposes closing or making Highview Avenue one- way.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, spoke about her concerns regarding traffic, the Sparkill Creek and lights affecting the Palisades Parkway. She hopes this project is successful.
Laurie Peek, Tappan, asked if there was a water Management Plan for this project and discussed the importance of all future projects having permeable pavement.
FB Orangetown, LLC’s Attorney, explained that a porous pavement would not work on this site.
Habib Hasan, Nyack, asked who was the owner of this property and who would be paying the taxes?
Fran Oldenburger, Blauvelt, has concerns regarding the runoff from this large piece of property and of other big box developments. She wants a huge buffer for pollution purposes. She asked, will the development of a Stop and Shop set a precedent for other large facilities along Route 303?
Watson Morgan, Blauvelt, is in favor of this project. He questioned, if capping is part of the remediation process for this contaminated site.
FB Orangetown, LLC representatives assured them that the runoff is addressed and capping is part of this project.
Supervisor Stewart commented that the Town Board needed additional time to exercise due diligence on this project.
