Public Comment
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, questioned certain impacts regarding zone change – impact of traffic and sewer conditions. What will be the effects on the Pearl River School District?
Harold McCartney, Jr., Nyack, Attorney representing Hilton Hotels, advised the Town Board of 1969 Local Law and 1985-86 Resolutions, which included Restricted Covenants for one (1) hotel, that runs with the land. ARC has been apprised of this but has not formally acknowledged that this covenant exists. The Town Board asked the Town Attorney to take a look at this information.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, she would like to see The Pointe built as soon as possible.
Alan Post, Tappan, 900 families are looking for this adult housing and only 143 units available. Would we have a lottery system?
Mary Cardenas, Orangetown Historian, history should be preserved and Orangetown has the perfect opportunity with the Seth House to protect one of these historic homes. This opportunity may not be available in the future. Mary requested the Town Board to act now to preserve this home.
Frank Neeson, Pearl River, spoke regarding the traffic study and question if all units will be senior housing?

* * *
Councilman Morr discussed at length the primary benefit of this senior/adult housing. He encouraged a lottery system be used for applying for affordable units only. He also suggested that caps on resale also be only on the affordable units.
Councilwoman Manning said this is the first major senior/adult housing project. She agrees with much of Councilman Morr in regards to the pricing and fairness. Orangetown residents should be given first preference.
Councilman O’Donnell explained this vote is critical because the residents have been requesting this for years. He will vote yes but requests Orangetown be kept rural.
Supervisor Kleiner said this was a lengthy process, and commented that the developers worked with the Town regarding all of the Boards’ concerns (trails, golf course, buffers).

WHEREAS the Town Board has considered both the need for adult housing within the Town as contemplated by the adoption of the PAC zoning classification, and the impact on the Town’s stock of land available for OP uses at this time and following the zone change;
NOW, BASED ON ALL OF THE INFORMATION BEFORE THE BOARD, AND THE FINDINGS HEREINAFTER MADE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby adopts Local Law No. 8, amending the Town’s zoning map and zoning law to change the zoning classification from OP to PAC, property located on the east side of Veterans Memorial Drive, approximately 1400 ± feet south of the intersection with Gilbert Avenue, and also on the south side of Gilbert Avenue, approximately 1000 ± feet east of the intersection with Veterans memorial Drive, and shown on the Tax Map of the Town of Orangetown as SBL 73.5-1-53.2.
Specific Findings Relating to the Instant Petition
Pursuant to Chapter 43, Subsection 4.6.12, the Town Board makes the following specific Findings of Fact, pertaining to the instant Petition:
Resolution No. 514 – Continued
Marketability of the Proposed Units
(1) Based on a market study conducted by Cushman & Wakefield, in 2003, there were 14,395 households in the age group of 55 to 74 located within a five-mile radius of site of the proposed zone change. As of the date of this resolution, in the Town of Orangetown, only one site has been re-zoned for the Planned Adult Community use, that being a site located on South Middletown Road, in the hamlet of Pearl River, on which site eleven (11) adult units was approved.
(2) There are two other senior housing project proposals that have been submitted for consideration, only one of which, at this time, is ripe for determination. That project, to be known as the “Pointe At Lake Tappan”, and located off of Veterans Memorial Drive and Blue Hill South Drive, in close proximity to the site here under consideration, proposes a 143 unit adult housing project. Both projects, if approved, and coupled with the previously approved zone change for 11 units, would provide a total of 278 units available for the 14,395 senior households within the referenced five-mile radius. Under the circumstances, the combined three projects satisfy less than 2% of the current senior households eligible to purchase a unit or home.
(3) As testified to at the public hearing conducted by the Town Board on the instant Petition, on July 19, 2004, over 659 seniors have contacted the Petitioner, expressing interest in the project. In light of both the expressed interest and the obvious under supply of senior housing in the area, coupled further with the price structure proposed by the developer for the units, the 124 senior housing units proposed for the site appear to be very marketable.
Potential Saturation Within and About the Geographic Area of the Proposed Zone Change.
(4) Based on the findings set forth above, in terms of the number of eligible purchasers throughout the Town, and the relative absence of any Adult community housing, in this immediate area or elsewhere, the Town Board concludes that the approval of the instant zone change, permitting the construction of up to 124 senior housing units will not saturate the neighborhood in which the site is located.
Suitability of the Site for Senior Housing; Vehicular Access, Transportation, Walking and Traffic Concerns in General.
(5) The proposed residential development will be age restricted and individually owned in a condominiums type dwelling unit. A condominium association will be created and will be responsible for maintaining all of the common areas, including designated recreational areas and internal roadways.
(6) As shown on the architectural renderings by James H. Tanner, Architect, and his testimony on the pubic hearing, the community will include five possible plans, consisting of one, two and three bedroom homes. Out of the 124 homes proposed, eighty-two will be two-bedroom homes with one or two car garages ranging in size from 1,466 square feet to 1,939 square feet. The projected selling price of these homes will range approximately from $335,000.00 to $390,000.00. Four types of two bedroom homes will be available. Five three-bedroom end units, containing approximately 1,982 square feet, with a projected selling price of approximately $385,000.00, also will be available. Seven, single-family three-bedroom homes are proposed containing approximately 1,982 square feet. The projected selling price for these homes is approximately $405,000.00.
All of the proposed units are designed for ground floor habitability. The homes are comprised of a ground floor containing a master bedroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, master bathroom, washer and dryer. As such, they will avoid multi-levels and stairs on a daily basis.
A two-story garden apartment building, comprised of one and two bedroom units is also proposed. Six one-bedroom garden apartments will contain approximately 1,000 square feet of living space. The projected selling price for these homes is approximately $235,000.00. There
Resolution No. 514 -Continued
are twenty-four two-bedroom garden apartments proposed, each containing approximately 1,200 square feet of living space. The projected selling price for these homes is approximately $265,000.00. There will be parking underneath the garden apartment building with elevator access to all floors.
(7) Additionally, the garden apartment building will house a community center and possibly an indoor pool for exercise.
(8) The project will contain walking trails on the property, which will connect with the hiking trails situated on the adjacent property occupied by the Pearl River Middle School.
(9) The interior road system will be private and built in accordance with Orangetown Road and Street specifications. The majority of the roads are 30 feet wide and where pavement width is less parking will be prohibited. The project design accommodates 236 off-street parking spaces.
(10) Access to the interior road system will be serviced by two intersections with existing traffic lights situated on Veterans Memorial Drive. These intersections are located at the entrances to the Hilton Hotel and the Altera Assisted Living Facility and adequately provide for the access needs of the site.
(11) The location of the site further meets the needs of the senior community in that it is located relatively close to the downtown Pearl River, and the business corridor along Middletown Road. There is bus transportation available for those who do not have private means of travel.
(12) The Town Board further finds, based on the traffic studies conducted with respect to this proposed zone change and other unrelated projects, including those that have been reviewed at the former Rockland Psychiatric Center property, that the road system in and about the site will accommodate any added traffic volume that may be generated by the project proposed for the site.
Compatibility of a Planned Adult Community Project Within the Surrounding Environment.
(13) The proposed senior housing community is an appropriate use for the site sought to be re-zoned. While the site to the west is along a highway presently developed with office and similar type uses, it is also bordered on the north and on the east with residential type uses (assisted living and single family homes) as well as hotel and school uses. The Town Board finds, consistent with its Town-wide Comprehensive Plan that the contemplated Planned Adult housing use is consistent with the uses otherwise existing and permitted in the area.
(14) The Petitioner, in accordance with the requirements of the Local Law 1 of 2004, presented to the Town Board an Illustrative Site Plan, prepared by Lawler, Matusky & Skelly Engineers LLP, which meets the bulk and area requirements of Local Law No. 1, except insofar as the 100 foot side yard and rear yard requirements are concerned, and, as to those yard requirements the Town Board, as authorized by Local Law No. 1 of 2004, establishes 50 feet as the minimum required yard. (The Illustrative Site Plan shows a 380 foot landscaped buffer between the proposed residential development and neighboring residential and single family dwellings to the north on Gilbert Avenue. Along Veterans Memorial Drive, the site plan illustrates a 100 foot landscaped buffer. There is a 50-foot buffer between the proposed development and the middle school and a 50-foot buffer to the golf course.)
(15) By reason of the proposed layout, and the average density concept embodied thereon, the Town Board further establishes 124 units as the maximum number of units permitted on the site, which number shall include six (6) affordable units under the PAC law, which units shall be disbursed throughout the project as required by the Planning Board.
- The illustrative site plan further satisfies the open space area requirement of Local Law No. 1. Specifically, the illustrative site plan reflects a total lot area of 31.3 acres with
Resolution No. 514 – Continued
maximum building coverage of 3.13 acres or 10%. Of the remaining lot area, there is a golf course area consisting of 3.3 acres (to be dedicated in fee to the Town); a designated recreational
area of 1.9 acres; an undisturbed wetland area consisting of 6.0 acres; and other unpaved and unimproved areas consisting of 5.2 acres. The Town Board finds that the illustrative site plan reflects a suitable mix of open space and senior housing development as contemplated under the PAC Law (Local law No. 1 of 2004).
Other Findings and Conditions
- The Town Board, in granting this zone change, recognizes that the approval will place an added burden on the waste and sewer lines and pump station down flow from the site, and that, without certain improvements to the system, the system might not be able to accommodate the additional flow of effluent from this and the other PAC project proposed for a nearby site to be known as the “Pointe At Lake Tappan.”
- In order to allow the Petitioner to move forward with its proposed development in a more timely manner, rather than await the outcome of improvements to the Town pump station and sewer lines down flow wholly funded by the Town, the Petitioner has agreed to contribute $500,000.00 toward such improvements, with the understanding that such payment will be made at the time the Petitioner applies for its first building permit, and that no building permit shall issue unless and until such payment is received.
- The Petitioner, as part of its proposal has further offered to make a contribution toward the recreation needs of the Town in the sum $500,000.00 to be paid at the time the Town undertakes the construction of athletic fields at the site known as the “Triangle” on the what was formerly a part of the Rockland Psychiatric Center property. Alternatively, at the Town’s option, the Owner shall provide a gift of services and materials necessary to construct the athletic fields on the Triangle west of the designated wetlands in accordance with the specifications to be provided by the Town. Such labor and materials, if provided, shall be undertaken and provided in accordance with all legal requirements, including but not necessarily limited to the payment of prevailing wages.
(20) It is further understood, in regard to the recreation contribution offered by the Petitioner as hereinbefore set forth that the said fee shall not be due and owing if, in and between the adoption of this zone change and the grant of final site development plan approval, there is an amendment to the Town’s zoning code requiring the payment of money-in-lieu of land applicable to the senior project proposed for this site affected by this zone change, unless the Town Planning Board as part of its site plan approval shall waive such money-in-lieu of land by reason of the recreation contribution agreed to be paid in connection with this zone change and other on-site recreation lands and amenities provided.
(21) The adoption of this resolution granting the requested zone change from OP to PAC based upon an illustrative site plan is not intended to, nor shall it be interpreted to, circumvent or usurp the authority of the Planning Board, or of any other Board having authority over site specific details, except insofar as the modified yard requirements are concerned as permitted by law.
- As required by § 4.6.5 of Local Law No.1 of 2004, occupancy of the units to be developed on the site as a result of this zone change, at the time of initial conveyance, and thereafter, shall be restricted to persons fifty-five (55) years of age or older, or couples, one of whom is 55 years of age or older. Persons less than 18 years of age shall not be permanent residents under any circumstances. Provided, however, there may be one on-site caretaker / administrator, if so requested as part of the Petitioner’s application, whose responsibilities shall be the maintenance and/or management of the PAC development. Households containing one or more adult handicapped persons (over the age of 21) shall also be eligible.
- The Petitioner, prior to the conveyance of the first unit, shall file with the record with the Rockland County Clerk, in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney, a covenant, which shall run with land, and bind all owners and subsequent owners, restricting the sale, re-sale and occupancy of the units within the PAC development as set forth at ¶ 21 of this resolution.
Resolution No. 514 – Continued
- The Town Board, within 90 days of this resolution, shall develop regulations and relevant procedures for unit sale or rental, re-occupancy, income verification and related costs. Such uniform regulations shall be applicable to all developments under the PAC zone. The Petitioner may await the development of such regulations before it submits for site plan approval, or may proceed at its own risk, understanding that the development shall be subject to such regulations and procedures.

Public Comment
William Reddy, Deputy Town Attorney, explained that this public hearing is in pursuant to the Town’s Property Maintenance Code. This Public Hearing is particular to Cardean Place Pearl River. This property owner is deceased. He asked that the following persons from the Building Department speak:
John Giardello, Director, OBZPAE, and Paul Witte, the Code Enforcement Officer, said they made several attempts to contact the property owners, or descendents. Violation notices, certified mail, car license plates were used to contact the owner, or descendants to no avail. Witte has also attempted to receive estimates for the clean up. The property is in disrepair. Two cars need to be removed, landscaping is overgrown, and the garage and cars are filled with boxes. The property is being used as a dumping ground. Only the exterior of the property will be cleaned unless there is a health hazard. The intent of the law is that if a health hazard, the Town can go in and clean the place out. Mr. Giardello recommends the Town contact the County Health Dept. to send out an inspector to check for vermin.
Bob Simon, Receiver of Taxes, records show 2003 –2004 taxes are due. The County is due to start foreclosure in March of 2005.
Mike & Eileen Murphy, Pearl River, property meets all criteria in Town Code Sec 24C-15, in respect to debris, propane tanks, and health and safety hazards. They are in favor of clean up but request none of the overgrowth be removed.
Jim Murphy, Pearl River, lives opposite and would like something to be done.
Pamela & Frank McDonald, Pearl River, speaking for a group of neighbors. Concerned with the safety of all children in the area and requests the Town to clean up. Please leave all shrubs and all trees; this helps hide the shabby conditions.
Michael Rambin, Pearl River, house has always been this way. He has seen animals in the house. Would like to see the Town cleanup this area.

Public Comment
William Reddy, Deputy Town Attorney, explained that this public hearing is in pursuant to the Town’s Property Maintenance Code. Property owners are not abiding by regulations after receiving violation notices. The clean-up resolution should be very specific.
Teresa Kenny, Town Attorney, spoke with the owner today. She recommends giving the owner a limited time to adhere to the Town Board’s recommendations. The Town Board decided that 30 days would be a fair time allotment.
Paul Witte, Code Enforcement Officer, reported that the diner has been closed for at least 2-3 years. Paint is peeling and interior is a mess. The area used by the adjacent Chinese Restaurant is part of the same building and owned by same owner. The tiles are falling off the outside of the building.
A discussion took place between Witte, Teresa Kenny and the Town Board.
Eileen Murphy, Pearl River Chamber of Commerce, property is in disrepair.
Sheila O’Donnell, Pearl River Chamber of Commerce, lack of attention to this property is detrimental to the revitalization of Pearl River.
Lisa Gorman, Pearl River Chamber of Commerce, enough time has been given already. It’s an eyesore to existing businesses paying taxes. Urges the Board to give a 30-day deadline.

RTBM Public Comment
Kevin Emworth, Pearl River, spoke to the Town Board and pleaded with them to address the flooding that has affected his home as well as his neighbors’ homes since 1997. This flooding is serious and the cost to this neighborhood is astronomical. After each flood they are subject to the cost of the clean up as well as the cost to replace such thing as the furnace, water heater, rugs, furniture but more importantly the pictures and sentimental items that a family cannot replace. Something must be done and it must be done immediately. James Dean the Highway Superintendent, and the Town Board had a lengthy discussion and they will contact Lederle to discuss the 5 acres along Crooked Hill to see about building a retention reservoir to eliminate or help eliminate the flooding by Carroll Street and the surrounding area. The Town Board promised to get this information and meet with the residents as soon as possible.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, agrees with the residents about the flooding and this is his concern regarding builders and open space.
Judy Clemens, Orangeburg, any new commercial establishments in RPC will hurt business owners in Pearl River.
Lisa Gorman, Pearl River Chamber of Commerce, hopes retail business is not part of the development of RPC.
Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River, upset with FOIL response from Building Dept. She is concerned with flooding and run-off of new construction particularly by her residence.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, discussed the July 17th meeting and response of the Board.
Tom Dinan, Pearl River, is against rescinding the town pool resolution, this should not be done under new business nor should it be done at midnight after most citizens have gone home.
Sheila O’Donnell, Pearl River Chamber of Commerce, against proposal of any retail shops in RPC.
Eileen Murphy, Pearl River, is against any retail in RPC because it will hurt downtown Pearl River.
