Summary of Public Comments:
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, wrote to Ron Delo about a sewer problem and she is not getting any answers. She asked is the Village of South Nyack paying for portable toilets for South Nyack Fire District’s run. She thought it was ill-conceived to have RPC-DGEIS public hearing at a workshop and not at a meeting that would be televised.
Esta Baitler, Sparkill, asked when the sidewalks along Route 340 will be measured and what happened to O & R putting up the promised LED lights.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, believes Mrs. Low-Hogan should recuse herself from voting on item number 1, since she is a resident of South Nyack and the South Nyack Fire District would benefit from this. What budget is the money coming from for CANDLE? He spoke about floor ratio limits, drainage, unpaid fees, loss revenue, permits, sidewalks, parking and the assessed value regarding the Pearl River movie theatre property.
