PH Public Comment
Anthony Zacharakis, Tappan, spoke regarding the new procedures for public comment; spot zoning/floating zones are not good for a community. He said a senior/teen center is a better use of the building.

Kevin Seeney, PR HS Student, would prefer use to be for community and young adults.
Megan Quail, PR HS Student, said, in an Environmental Science census showed this property could be used in a better way. Also agrees with use for community & young adults.
Alyssa Cole, PR HS Student, stressed the need for a place for teens to hang out. She asked the Board to consider teenagers when voting on projects.

Donald Brenner, Attorney, said this is a PAC Zone request and that this is in agreement with present zoning. This application was made 1 year ago and the building has been closed for 6 years.

Supervisor Kleiner summarized different issues, one of which would allow this to remain a theatre. These issues must be resolved in written form to make sure all issues have been satisfied. The Comprehensive Parking Plan is rescinded, and is not a major impediment.
