Public Comments
Mr. Clark Shepard of 144 River Road thanked the Board for their service and
stated he was here on behalf of the residents in the neighborhood surrounding
600 Albany Post Road. He stated they opposed the proposal and urged the
Board to reject it.
Ms. Kate Roberts, representing the Applicant stated they were working on
responding to questions raised by the Board, Consultants and the Public and
urged the Board to refer the application to the Planning Board for review.
Mr. Gallo Ophir of 24 Country Club Lane stated there was a lot of traffic in the
area and a commercial space would worsen that. He stated it was currently a
nice, quiet, dark space at night and the proposal was not in character with the
neighborhood.
Mr. Joel Motley of 409 Scarborough Road stated the proposal struck him as a
bad idea and asked if there was a proposal for the Philips property. He urged the
Board to allow for affordable housing and cluster type development to reduce the
environmental impacts.
Mr. Gary Lyons of 169 Scarborough Road stated the Route 9 Corridor was
mostly residential from Tarrytown to Briarcliff Manor and that should be
considered.
Mr. Ken Kail of 200 River Road stated he was against the proposal because it
exceeded the lot coverage and a residential use made more sense.
Ms. Lois Kroll of 24 Creighton Lane stated she moved here for the tranquil
environment and there was no need for self-storage.
Mr. John Glascott of River Road stated there was a fatality on Route 9 over the
weekend and this would worsen traffic.
