Public Comment
Michael Mandel, Pearl River, is concerned about tax increases and the economy. The Town should have a hiring freeze on new hires or replacements. He asked the amount of the WWTP-06-1G change order and what the January 10, 2009 Special Town Board Meeting was concerning.
Roberta Bangs, President of Hi-Tor Animal Care Center, gave an update of their services and the rescue of 23 dogs last month. They wish to pursue their long-term goal of building a new shelter and they are thankful to Orangetown for their continued support.
Pat Boulay, Blauvelt, gave an update of meetings regarding traffic problems (speeding) on and near Swannekin Road and asked for long-term solutions. She submitted a petition from concerned residents.
Mike Palko, member of RUSH-Pearl River, is concerned with the new design for Hillside and the visual and noise pollution, a concrete retaining wall and flooding. Water, which doesn’t get replaced in the underground water table, will have to be replaced by United Water causing an additional expense to residents. Any additional work to the sewer system or storm drains should be paid for by the developer.
Norman Schaifer, Tappan, spoke about an email he sent the Town Board regarding the disaster the economy is going into with foreclosures, reduction of real estate values and tax issues. He feels the Town is only dealing with small issues and should start dealing with large important issues.
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, would like the Town Attorney’s legal opinion as to amending a resolution when there’s a subsequent contract covering this item (DCAK Architects item #14). This is a feeble attempt to mislead the auditors. She asked how many Community Development Block Grant committee members pay taxes in the Town of Orangetown. Ms. Raffaele asked that the minutes of the October 27, 2008 meeting be amended to indicate that she did not use the words “public decorum” rather she objected to time constraints imposed by the Board pertaining to public participation at meetings. She also asked if the taxpayers would be faced with additional costs based upon the secret September 23rd meeting.
John S. Edwards, Town Attorney, said he thinks if Ms. Raffaele’s point is that the contract should be amended as oppose to the resolution which is probably true. The prior resolution accepts the proposal for the feasibly study. He thinks it’s the contract that is actually being amended. He believes the initial contract inadvertently left out the reimbursable expenses. A resolution should be adopted to amend the contract.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, asked if the bid for wiring of the court room went out to competitive bid and if this was part of the FIOS agreement. He’s concerned that the bid for website transfer and hosting and the bid for scanning software are being broken down to avoid competitive bid. He asked about the Special Town Board Meeting of January 10th and asked that the Workshop agendas be posted on the website. He disagrees with the Caretakers low rent. Now, that Vision-Science is not moving, is that property still entitled to the Empire Zone?
RESOLUTION NO. 61 CLOSE PUBLIC PORTION
Councilman Troy offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Councilwoman Low-Hogan and was unanimously adopted:

RESOLUTION NO. 62 OPEN PH/AMENDMENT TO PLANNED ADULT COMMUNITY FLOATING ZONE (PAC)
Councilman Troy offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Councilwoman Manning and was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED that the public hearing to consider a proposed local law, amending the Town Code of the Town of Orangetown, Chapter 43, Section 4.6, relating to the Planned Adult Community Floating Zone, is hereby opened.
Ayes: Councilpersons Troy, Manning, Low-Hogan, Maturo
Supervisor Kleiner
Noes: None
Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk, presented the Affidavit of Publication and the Notice of Posting; copies are labeled Exhibit 01-A-09 and made a part of these minutes.
Supervisor Kleiner said the reason for this public hearing is to clarify who is eligible and certain issues with regards to income.
Public portion for the public hearing:
Michael Mandel, Pearl River, brought to everyone’s attention, Section 4.64 states “Dwelling units may be for sale or rent” and Section 4.66 states “All affordable units shall be owner-occupied. He asked if over 55 years of age and no children will be stipulated in all agreements.
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, requested that the Rockland County Planning Board comments be read into the record. She suggested this be tabled and this public hearing be resumed once we receive comments from the Rockland County Planning Board. Several years ago the legislation said hey you attorneys, why don’t you start talking English and why don’t you speak a little more carefully. She thinks Section 2A should be rewritten to say exactly what the Town Board intends to do.
Jo-Ann Coffey-Fasulo, Pearl River, asked what is meant by permanent and asked when the Town Board will change the terms from affordable to below market housing.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, asked if the public will be able to comment again since the County has not yet made any comments. He believes the income eligibility should be based on two persons not four and three bedroom units should also be affordable. He believes SEQRA has been violated because the zoning is being amended.
Donald Brenner, Attorney, believes since this statute has been approved by the Attorney General, any material change would be preempted of state rights. He believes definitions can be defined and making amendments should be looked into.
John S. Edwards, Town Attorney, spoke about the question of language defining who could live in the below market value homes. The intent being no one under the age of 55 and a spouse, (who could be younger), would be allowed permanent residence. The questions that were raised were concerning adult children, those below the age of 18 and handicapped children between the ages of 18 and 21. Other questions included the phrase “dwelling units maybe for sale or rent”.
