[...] SE Planning Board Recap 3/22/10 Posted by: “Lynne Eckardt” lynne.eckardt@gmail.com Date: Wed Mar 24, 2010 7:31 am ((PDT)) Hi All, Even though I still attend almost every Planning Board meeting I haven’t tackled a recap for quite a while but this one is really too good or bad (depending on your bent) to pass up. Chairman LaPerch was in fine form having the patience of a toddler at a Toys-R-Us clearance. And long time Planning Board member, Dan Armstrong, had the unmitigated gall to claim he had no idea what the term ‘spot zoning’ means. Really, Dan? Really? Of course while much has changed since the days of Chairman George Rohrman much has remained the same. In general the Board has still never met a new warehouse or old auto/tractor dealer/service center- (oops, make that ‘General Business’) it didn’t like. In fact the complex contortions made to accommodate Brewster Honda make Houdini look like a piker. More on that later. On item 1 (‘Palumbo Sand and Gravel’) Peder Scott appeared to have won his engineering degree in a raffle and Chairman LaPerch gave him an appropriate and much needed dressing down. Baroody (scaled back to one lot) is finally [...] Southeast needs to weigh in on taking Putnam's trash | LoHud.com SOUTHEAST — Take our trash, please. That's the call to the Town of Southeast from Putnam County, now that the county Legislature has approved trucking Putnam's trash to Southeast's soon-to-be-capped landfill. As part of the proposed deal, the county would pay Southeast $254,000 and provide $777,766 in services to help it incorporate Putnam's municipal and commercial trash into its landfill. The Southeast Town Board still needs to approve the 21-page agreement as both work under a state order to close their former dumps. Town and county officials, as well as their consultants and state environmental officials, are expected to meet this month to review the agreement. “The county's draft provides an excellent springboard for discussion regarding consolidation. Negotiations are ongoing,” Southeast Supervisor Michael Rights said. via Southeast needs to weigh in on taking Putnam’s trash | LoHud.com | The Journal News. |

Bondi’s High Horse
Mr. Bondi’s High Horse Posted by: “Lynne Eckardt” lynne.eckardt@gmail.com Date: Wed Jun 9, 2010 12:25 pm ((PDT)) Hi All, After reading Mike Risinit’s article regarding County Executive Bondi’s take on the County/Town landfill closures I decided it was time to do a little more research. After all, these landfill closures seem to have been dragging on ad infinitum. Besides Mr. Bondi was really on his high horse when he wrote a four page opus to the County Legislature and the Southeast Town Board which could kinda, sorta be described as a full blown hissy-fit complete with several over-the-top rhetorical questions. *Landfill History:* Anyhow, the first article I located re the county dump was from September 3rd, 2008. NB the *bolding* is mine. In this piece the county was fined $55,000 for various and sundry *’longstanding environmental’ violations at county facilities. Included in these violations was the county landfill which, according to the article and a 1991 DEC report, was leaching a “reddish,- brown liquid containing, among other things, toluene and phenol- toxic solvents that are potent cancer causing organic compounds.”* Yeah, I had to read it twice as well: ‘potent cancer-causing organic compounds’. Yum. Also keep in [...]
