Public Portion
Jeff McNichol, Pearl River Business owner, spoke regarding committee to discuss RPC. He is against individual SEQRA for pool and STEJ.
Shelly Morgan, Tappan, feels the Piermont Pier should be open to all residents.
Laura Neuendorf, Blauvelt, is against combining SEQRA for pool and STEJ. She is in favor of moving forward on pool, which was voted on in 1997.
Julie Pollack, Orangeburg, is in favor of moving forward with pool and SEQRA.
Mike Henry, President Pearl River Ice Hockey, spoke regarding the importance of tax ratables in RPC and is against segmentation of SEQRA.
Dan Dinan, Orangeburg, the pool was voted on in 1997 and we should move forward with SEQRA. He is in favor of SEQRA for the pool/community center.
Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River, is concerned with the changes, omissions and inconsistency on the Planning Board maps for the Beaver Creek subdivision. She is also concerned with the elevations and flooding on her property.
Catherine Dodge, Orangeburg, is in favor of passing SEQRA for the pool/community center and feels the Town should move forward.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, spoke regarding the new retail establishment being built in NJ, which abuts the Sparkill Creek. The Army Corps of Engineers report is 11 years old. She’s in favor of the SEQRA for the pool/community center.
Fran Oldenburger, Blauvelt, feels if the SEQRA is tied together, it will delay the process. She is in favor of moving forward.
Mrs. Dinan, Orangeburg, is in favor of approval of the SEQRA for pool. This would allow the project to move forward.
Betsy Brenner, Orangeburg, concerned that Orangetown residents voted for a pool (in 1997) not a community center. If a community center or a school bond were voted on, the bond for school projects would pass before one a community center.
Patrick Bent, Pearl River, attorney for STEJ, says all items should be done jointly for SEQRA purposes.
Don Brenner, Orangeburg, attorney of STEJ, is against segmentation of SEQRA. He believes segmentation could be challenged. All studies, including sewer, parking and traffic should be combined.
Tom Dinan, Pearl River, we should proceed with the pool project with no further delays. The pool and STEJ were originally separate discussion.
Tom Lavelle, Tappan, President of Historical Society, is in favor of the relocation of overhead wires on Main St. in Tappan.
