ACTION ALERT: 60 Condos Proposed Over Toxic Plume in Speonk

by Group Staff 5. February 2010 00:13

Attend the Town Board Hearing
Southampton Town Hall
Tuesday, February 9 at 1:00 p.m.

Tell the Town Board to say NO!

Consequences of a toxic plume beneath the site are unknown.
State and local agencies have been extensively studying the Speonk Solvent Plume but have not yet completed their final reports (due in March). Without accurate information the Town Board should halt the review of this application.

Density proposed is four times the allowable limit.
A large-scale sewage treatment plant would be required to accommodate the project, which is more than four times the density permitted by the Town’s zoning code. Although the project claims some community benefits, these benefits will never outweigh the traffic, sewage and suburban sprawl burdens the community will bear if the project is approved.

Join us -- Urge the Town Board to deny Serenity Estates.
Given that the application is a Planned Development District (PDD), the Town Board has the right to deny a change to the underlying zoning. Unlike a typical project where the applicant is allowed a certain density as of right, the Town Board can simply say no to a PDD. As of today, we are unsure where the Town Board stands on this project. If this application makes it to a Planning Board review, there is little that can be done to stop it.

Write to Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst & Members of the Town Board.

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst & Members of the Town Board

Southampton, NY 11986

Dear Supervisor Throne-Holst & Members of the Town Board,

I am seriously concerned with the proposed development known as Serenity Estates. I urge the Town Board to prioritize public health and ensure that all studies and reports relating to the contamination in the vicinity of the site are updated and appropriately examined prior to making any decisions regarding this development.

Additionally, I am concerned that the proposed increase in density is unjustified. The community will inevitably bear the burden of excessive density. I urge you to require a reduced density plan, which would eliminate the need for a new sewage treatment plant and alleviate traffic concerns.

Thank you for your consideration of this important Town-wide matter.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

This post is an awesome way to lose weight together. Every person should offer support to the other. Also, it is best to have a friend who also wants to lose weight a person to support you in weight loss activity to do. Motivating each other is better and if you got a mutual goal minded friend you are less likely to let that partner down.
