SE Planning Board Recap 3/22/10

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

NtM – May 18, 2009

Good Monday Morning,

The National Weather Service has announced a FREEZE Warning for tonight. High pressure building in from the northwest combined with light winds and clear skies will allow interior portions of the Hudson Valley to experience temperatures below 32º for several hours overnight. (3AM – 8AM)

If you cannot bring in sensitive plants, cover them with a blanket or tarp before evening to conserve warmer earth temps around those plants. It was a similar event on this very day several years ago that severely damaged the apple crop here in the Hudson Valley so preparatory caution is advised.

The Kent Town Board meets tonight in regular session at 7PM. Here’s a draft agenda. While we’re talking about Kent, an online petition to fire the Town’s building inspector was started a few weeks back and has so far garnered a grand total of seven signatures.

Tomorrow is the school board budget and elections. Vote wisely and remember that voting a budget down really only hurts your kids. If you need to make a statement do so in other ways: Picket a school board meeting, make a phone call, send a letter, demonstrate.

News That matters – December 23, 2008

So, how did the tour of Tilly Foster and the Physical Services Committee meeting go yesterday? Jeez, I’m sorry you asked. Don’t mind if I’m a little bitter this morning, or cranky, but when I woke at 6:30 this morning and the temperature was 1.7 degrees I realized that after yesterday’s excursion and meeting hell had finally frozen over. At least the pipes in the unheated crawl space under my house didn’t burst. [...]
