Here we Go again REZONING 62 Rockaway

The Village Board over the opposition of the local residents is proposing a new Local Law 1406. This is after a town hall meeting where over 200 people spoke out in opposition. This law is a specific spot rezoning law to benefit one developer so he can build a 6 family residence in a residential A single family zone. This rezoning is customized to meet the needs of one DEVELOPER at the expense of all residents. I guess you can call this a TAYLOR MADE proposed new law. This proposed law will be reviewed without any environmental review. Nothing crazy not even a traffic study. IF you drive in the Village at the intersection of Park Place and South Park Avenue then you know that this is one of the most dangerous corners in the village. This development will add several cars to this very dangerous corner. The sneaky Board noticed the meeting by Section, Block and Plot never naming the 62 Rockaway address. Please check the Village website for the date in May when the board will try and pass this law on the quiet for the benefits of one and not the many residents of RVC.
