Public Comment

Shelly Morgan, Tappan, Asked if all soccer league children belong to Orangetown?  Will there be enough sport fields for Pearl River Little League?

James Curtin, Pearl River, Asked for help regarding flooding on Salina Rd, Pearl River.  This was caused by clogged catch basins.  James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, said Highway is aware of the issue and the Town may need to replace with a larger pipe.

David Michaelian, Tappan, Asked what is being built on the lot next to Lowes along Route 303? Would like the Town to address the parking of 18-wheelers along Route 303.

Arnold Shore, Orangeburg, against Retirement hours for Town Justices and Town Councilpersons.  How can part-time positions be full-time retirement hours?

Ruth Weber, Upper Grandview Association, Asked the Town to issue a violation regarding 57 Tweed Blvd., because of the clear cutting of trees.  She requested immediate intervention by the Town for environmental protection and remediation.

Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, against Retirement Benefits of the Town Justices and Town Councilpersons, from part-time to full time.  He believes LMS has conflicts; they are representing Orangetown and clients building in Orangetown.  He feels the drainage for STEJ is a concern.

Kevin Emsworth, Pearl River, requested an update regarding the flooding of Cherry Brook.  James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, told the Town Board he is waiting for the final study by LMS.  Part of the analysis will be to see if there is any short-term remediation and a discussion is taking place with Wyeth to build drainage beneath their field.  Thom Kleiner pointed out that a grant is being sought, but the Town cannot work on a grant until they know what is needed.

Fran Oldenberg, Blauvelt, feels the Town is going to have critical environmental issues, if the zoning is not changed.
