RESOLUTION NO. 812 OPEN CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING/GATTO LANE
Councilman Troy offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Councilman O’Donnell and was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, that the public hearing, which is continued from November 27, 2006, to consider a petition for a zone change from R-40 Low Density residence to R-15 Single Family Homes for property located on Gatto Lane, Pearl River (68.07-2-1) is hereby opened.

Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk, presented the Affidavit of Publication and the Notice of Posting; copies are labeled Exhibit 12-A-06 and made a part of these minutes.
Supervisor Kleiner reopened the public hearing regarding Gatto Lane giving the history of the application. He spoke about the initial presentation and the fact that he discussed this with Saccardi & Schiff. After walking this property with John Saccardi, Mr. Saccardi recommended a R-22 (1/2 acre zoning). After the November 27, 2006 public hearing and meeting with families that would be directly involved, the Supervisor changed his mind deciding it should remain an R-40. He discussed some main issues. First, in an R-22 (1/2 acre zoning), 35-40 ft conservation easements should be imposed, due to the large number of mature trees and steep slopes. If left an R-40 (less density), according to the Town Code, the Planning Board wouldn’t have the ability to imposed conservation easements. Presently, the Town Code only gives the Planning Board that right in scenic areas of Upper Grandview, areas that are underwater or have environmental challenges. Supervisor Kleiner believes the Planning Board should have the authority to establish conservation easements on some of the properties on Gatto Lane, Bradl Lane and similar properties. He suggested the Town Code be changed to broaden the Planning Board’s authority. Supervisor Kleiner said the second issued, also raised by Councilman Morr, is that down zoning could set a precedent for future developers. If this property is down-zoned to an R-22, it is uncertain whether a Town Board would follow that same example for the 13-acre parcel, presently owned by Wyeth, which is protected by a conservation easement that will expire in 2009. A zone change is a discretionary act by the Town Board taking into account the health, value to the Town and the impact on the neighborhood.
Since the owner of this property is also the owner of the Pearl River Theater, a discussion took place regarding the purchase of the Theater for $1.00. It was recommended to the Pearl River Theater Development Corporation, that a financial plan be in place before any transactions take place. Supervisor Kleiner commended Ed Lane for his cooperation in this project.
The public portion was opened and the following people spoke:
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, is concerned that the letters from the Rockland County Planning Board and from the Nanuet Public Schools were not in the record. She is against the Gatto Lane down zoning and the Theater being linked together.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, is against this zone change. He has concerns regarding the development, because of the impact on the sewers and infrastructure. He hand-delivered to the Town Board a class-action lawsuit, on behalf of Sheldon Morgan and Michael Harris, challenging retroactive retirement benefits for the Town Board.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, is against this zone change. She believes purchasing the Pearl River Theater would be a tax burden, she doesn’t want.
Robert Olori, Gatto Lane resident, is against down zoning for fear of clear cutting, in particular, saving 100-year-old trees.
Andy Davidson, Bradl Lane resident, is against this down zoning. The Planning Board should have the ability to protect and impose buffering.
Linda Schweizer, resident, believes she will suffer the most from the increased traffic.
Randy Johnson, Chestnut Ridge, is against the down zoning and thanked the Town Board for listening to the residents.
Robert Burns, Pearl River, spoke about his concerns regarding drainage, if more houses were built on Gatto Lane.
Howard Cohen, Trustee of the Village of Chestnut Ridge, asked for copies of the drainage and traffic study for this project.
Frances Delacotta, Pearl River, is against a second access road to the south.
John Skae, Bradl Lane resident, believes homeowners should have the right to remove dead trees in a buffer zone.
Councilman Morr feels that Saccardi & Schiff are good master planners and for developing global concepts. However, small projects in neighborhoods should be decided by the people living in those neighborhoods.
Councilwoman Manning said after walking the property, she is uncomfortable with any downzoning. She also said that she is in favor of the Theater and hopes it will go through.
Councilman Troy has concerns of a financial plan for the Pearl River Theater. He would like to see a viable plan from the theater group.
Councilman O’Donnell believes we should never grant a zone change anywhere in Orangetown if the residents oppose it. He also stated we are over saturated with senior citizen housing.

Public Comment (RTBM)
John Quevedo, suggested hiring a consultant for a traffic study for Oak Tree Rd and Washington St. He is alarmed because of accidents, a death and road rage that has taken place there.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, said the Town Board should not have ceremonies before a public hearing. He spoke about the Town’s health care policy involving only some employees contributing.
Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River, is again concerned with the damage done to her property because of work being done by her abutting property owner. She wants the Town to reimburse her for costs.
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, said the Town should have extra copies of the tapes from Town Board meetings for the public. She also said, there should be a cap on the amount on the traffic consultants’ resolution.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, wants to know who is on the Ethic Committee. She also feels that all employees should contribute more than 5% to their health care.
