Public Comment for the Public Hearing
Donald Brenner, Attorney for The Hollows at Blue Hill, along with experts for this project, gave an overview for the senior adult housing, which runs along Veteran’s Memorial Drive.
Judy Goodrich, Upper Grandview, carried petitions regarding the referendum and is in favor of this democratic process for a November referendum.
Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River, is in favor of a November referendum for the pool. FOIL requests and charges should be universal within musicality. Coffey distributed pictures, regarding her property, to the Town Board and asked that they respond to these conditions.
Mary McCloskey, Blauvelt, has been waiting 6 years for adult housing in Orangetown and asked the Town Board to vote yes for the Hollows at Blue Hill at tonight’s meeting.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, is in favor of senior housing. It should be primarily for Orangetown residents. He is against the density of this housing. Is the traffic study and sewer cost study complete?
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, is in favor of senior housing. She questioned the square footage for these particular Hollow units. She is in favor of caps on resale for adult houses.
Tom Dinan, Pearl River, questioned the high density and the giveback of the 3 plus acres to Orangetown by the builders?
Bill Schule, Pearl River, is in favor of senior housing and hopes givebacks will be in the form of property for sport fields.
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, givebacks from the builders should benefit all town residents.
John Langan, Orangeburg, is in favor of adult housing and wants to remain in Orangetown. Anthony Zacharakis, Tappan, questioned square footage of the various units? Are wetlands and slopes penalties included in the density?
The Town Attorney, John Edwards, recommended that a vote taken upon the receipt of the completion of the SEQA declaration. These environmental studies should be available for the meeting of August 2nd, or August 9th.
A discussion took place between the Town Board members. The consensus of the board was, if all information needed is available by August 2nd or August 9th then the vote will be taken. Supervisor Kleiner suggested that the vote should be immediately after the PH for ARC, another Adult/Housing project.
Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk, said the proposal will be available for review by the public in the Town Clerk’s Office.

Public Comment for the RTBM
Ruth Weber, Upper Grand View, spoke about the freedom to have petitions signed and how important this democratic process was.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, is in favor of petition, she is against pool. Signers understood, what was being signed. She questioned the cost regarding salaries, insurance and maintenance for the pool?
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, carried the petition because he is against the cost of the pool. Does the $14.7 million bond adequately cover all costs of the pool and analysis on sewer?
Ruth Vezzitti, Republican Chairperson and Rockland County Deputy Commissioner Board of Elections, reported that the non-bonded vote on the pool in 1997 was 15,428 with 6,498 ballots in favor and 5,089 ballots against the pool.
Arnie Shore, Orangeburg, believes the cost of pool/community center is too high and will raise taxes.
Sheila O’Donnell, Pres Pearl River Chamber, spoke about the revitalization of Pearl River.
Gail Raffaele, Tappan, questioned whether WRKL was present? She feels that democracy indicates that the public should have a referendum. She is against the cost of the pool. She is in favor of housing for volunteers. Greenbush Rd. should be a 2-way road.
Somnath Konduru, Tappan, concerned about increase in taxes. He works 3 jobs to pay property taxes. The pool/community center is a luxury rather than a necessity. Pool should be a commercial enterprise not a municipality.
Mary McCloskey, Blauvelt, reminded Town Board that the Pool Referendum is in the hands of the legal system and please allow this system to respond.
Anthony Zacharakis, Tappan, feels that the 2,000 people who signed the petition should be respected. The petition should only go to court, if fraud is suspected. Greenbush Rd. should be a 2-way road.
Carol Silverstein, Orangeburg, Greenbush Rd. should be a 2-way road. She signed the petition for the pool; the people who did sign should have the right to a referendum Nov. 2nd.
Jay Nakashima, Pearl River, feels Town’s Web Page is not in proper order, should be updated. The proximity of the pool to the reservoir could create water pollution. He questioned the accuracy of the pool costs also feels too many projects going on at once.
Jeff Matthew, Blauvelt, the pool will be beneficial to our children. Steel has increased over the past 2 years and if the pool is delayed steel will increase even more.
Sarah Jacobs, Tappan, is in favor of pool that will add to the total picture of the Town thereby benefiting all.
