The Town Board presented a Proclamation, proclaiming March 2015 to be Irish Cultural Heritage Month, to Vincent Tyer, Grand Marshal of the St. Patrick’s Day parade.  He thanked the Town for making the parade one of the best events in the County.  The parade is on Sunday, March 22^nd starting at 1:30 p.m.

 

Summary of Public Comments (RTBM):

James Flynn, Nanuet, asked the Town Board to ignore the slander and inflammatory attacks against Town employees, themselves, Anellotech’s employees and the DEC.  Do not destroy the economic viability of the Pfizer site and refuse any requests for a moratorium.

Sr. Ursla Joyce, Executive Director of Thorpe Village, explained that Thorpe Village is the only Senior Housing in Orangetown that offers Section 8 Affordable Housing and residents only pay 30% of their income.  They are ready to start a major renovation project and asked that the Building Permit fees be waived.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, believes the proposed adult housing should request a zone change and not apply for a Use Variance Permit.  She would like other developers to submit proposals for the same RPC site that the Toll Brothers did.

Dimitri Laddis, Rockland FC Soccer and resident of Piermont, is looking for a solution for enforcing OMM’s membership agreement with the Town.  The agreement stipulates that 85% of their membership be Orangetown residents.

Thomas Sullivan, Pearl River, said the Town government needs to do everything in its power to stop Anellotech.  They are going to be cooking tons of plant waste to make BTX by the barrel.

Heather Hurley, Pearl River, presented an on-line petition in opposition of Anellotech’s expansion plan and another petition to make new provisions in the Town Code to control and regulate uses involving biomass, incineration, organic chemicals etc.  She requested the Town Board to consider a moratorium.

Denise Schorn, Pearl River, supports any effort for a moratorium on certain industrial applications and on issuance of building, sewer, or other permits for these uses.  She asked the Town Board to set clearer guidelines for chemical plants and prohibit the use of biomass.

Ken Cully, Nanuet, opposes Anellotech’s expansion project.  It will have very little impact on our economy; it’s not a tax relief and it will produce hazardous waste.  He is in favor of a moratorium.

Scott Panese, Nanuet, said the Anellotech project will allow poisons into our air.  DEC documents have been withheld.  He supports a moratorium.

Watson Morgan, Environmental Committee and resident of Blauvelt, is not happy with the site Toll Brothers wants to build on.  That particular site should be kept for recreational use.

Manny Larenas, Pearl River, encouraged the Town Board to vote Anellotech project down.  The health of everyone will be compromised.  He is in favor of a moratorium.

Denise Scheyd, Pearl River, explained that Benzene causes leukemia and cancer.  Pearl River needs an Environmental Impact Study.  She requested the Town Board to put a stop to Anellotech.
