RESOLVED, that the public hearing to consider a Petition by Josephine Behrens and John Torigian and Jane Torigian for the Demapping of a Portion of Scotti Avenue, Palisades is hereby opened.
The Town Clerk presented proof of publication and posting, copies are labeled Exhibit 8-C-03, and made a part of these minutes.
The public portion was opened and the following spoke:
Attorney Donald Brenner stated that Orangetown has no use for this property and the de-mapping will return this property to the Tax rolls. He assured the Town, if it needed an easement for water or sewer could be added as a covenant. He explained that Mrs. Behrens is asking that only a portion (50 ft x 100 ft), not the entire parcel be de-mapped. If this portion is de-mapped it will provide a ratio that will enable her to build a garage and add to her home.
Public Hearing – Scotti Ave.
Thomas O’Connell, Deputy Town Attorney, asked for covenant and title charges be paid by applicant. He explained what this property represents.
Robert Beckerle, Dir. Dept. of Environmental Mgt. & Eng., has strong reservations regarding any de-mapping of Scotti Ave Right of Way. According to his memo, he says nearly 50 properties would be left with one means of ingress and egress and if public water service is ever to be provided to these properties, the Scotti Ave Right of Way will have to be utilized to provide proper circulation.
Paul Prisco, presented three letters from Doris and Eileen Burge; Helena Power and Terry Foxe and Paul & Sheila Prisco. A petition of 40 residents was also given to the Town Board also against de-mapping. These residents are concerned with the safety for children waiting for buses and emergency vehicles having difficulty with an egress. However, the residents would support the Behrens applying for a variance.
Helena Power, community has nothing to gain by de-mapping. She is against de-mapping.
Davis Burge, Palisades, strongly opposes the de-mapping.
Upon a lengthy discussion between the Town Board and Town Attorney, the Town Attorney recommended that the motion be made to deny.
