Ignorant abusive people aren't worth responding to  ----

so anyway ---- back to the actual topic.

Personally, I would vote no on the zone change.    Having attended both Planning Commission and Town Board meetings when this issue was being discussed,  I don't believe it is a good idea to add more buildings to that site.

He's an old fogey who's trying to make a quick buck, leaving sh!t behind, like the rest of them do, and go to Florida/Nevada/Arizona or where ever
the hell it is that he hibernates.....no planning, no class, no cares.....they all rub elbows for nothing more than their own serving....shame shame shame

ROTTERDAM
Consideration of project awaiting engineer’s report
Supervisor decided to forgo review others still sought
BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter
Reach Gazette reporter Justin Mason at 395-3113 or jmason@dailygazette.net.

    Tom DeLorenzo has asked Rotterdam officials to withhold a decision on his controversial zone change request until the result of a town-designated engineer’s report can be reviewed.
    Apparently unaware of the project’s status, board members argued at length over who decided to remove DeLorenzo’s proposed zone change from the agenda for their business meeting last week. They also questioned Supervisor Frank Del Gallo’s apparent decision to forgo a report from a towndesignated engineer reviewing the validity of DeLorenzo’s claim that he could construct a four-unit apartment building on the property even without the zone change.
    DeLorenzo is asking to change 2.7 acres off Floral Avenue near Walnut Avenue from a mix of zoning to multifamily residential. Residents living in homes adjacent to the property have opposed the proposal, claiming the building would significantly reduce their privacy and diminish the values of their homes.
    Initially, some board members expected to address DeLorenzo’s proposal during their regular business meeting last week. In anticipation of a forthcoming vote, board members Nicola DiLeva and Gerard Parisi both asked for a report they believed town-designated engineer John McDonald was preparing for the town.
    But Del Gallo said he didn’t see a need to “waste taxpayers’ dollars” on creating a report. He said he was under the impression DeLorenzo wasn’t pursuing the zone change any longer.
    “It’s all over with,” he said during the board’s agenda meeting last week.
    Yet both Parisi and DiLeva pressed him for a report. Both indicated they had expected some kind of official recommendation from McDonald when they asked to hire an engineer last month.........................>>>>.....................>>>>.....................................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01400&AppName=1

Quoted Text
What St. Augustine had to say about what we now call government:

"A gang is a group of men under the command of a leader, bound by a compact of association, in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention. If this villainy wins so many recruits from the ranks of the demoralized that it acquires territory, establishes a base, captures cities and subdues peoples, it then openly arrogates to itself the title of kingdom, which is conferred on it in the eyes of the world, not by the renunciation of aggression, but by the attainment of impunity"


Your Choices in the Political arena: Indeed, the plunder has become so common, and the plunderers so smug and self-confident, that their predations are taken for granted, and the thieves themselves treated with extraordinary deference! It is something akin to the Stockholm syndrome. You encounter the same mugger at the same spot every day, and eventually establish a sort of bizarre relationship with him----even, eventually, thanking him for not taking more. When you are given the opportunity to replace him with another mugger, you vote for the incumbent---sticking with the devil you know, unless his opponent offers to share more of his loot with you.
Paul Hein 10-19-2010

Rotterdam is a 3-2 town board!! Where is the super majority? There is none! If things follow through as usual in rotterdam, TD will start wining, dining and throwing campaign contributions at the first candidate that will vote YES!!

That's how BI, the army depot apts and the recovery gin mill got in!!! It goes to the highest bidder!!!!

Rotterdam needs a minimum of NEW three muskateers!

Right! But it's a 3-2 town board. No shot at a super majority there!

So no super majority - no zone change.
