Matt Rogers gave an update on the progress of the 50 – 56A Clifford Road Project. A discussion followed.
Hello,

I hope this information will be read at Mondays Village board meeting; I was unaware that the timeframe to submit comments was changed to less than 24 hours after agenda was posted.

My concerns are with 50-56 Clifford Road, site plan review. The information from Davis properties has been going on since August 7 and there has been no discussion from the board on what they think of the project.

There has been discussion around clarification of where the dumpster will be located, and elevation pictures, but no questions as to whether this project is needed or wanted. The mayor was at the zoning meeting where a request for variance was granted and the mayor was answering the questions for pre-site approval that Dominick was unable to, which leads me to believe the board is in support of adding 48 more beds onto to an over-crowded street in the Village.

I can only assume that the board’s continued review is to gather more information about the project and not just ask where the dumpster is going to be located. The residents near the current Davis properties have stated their opposition to expanding the unit inventory as the current owners do not maintain the property as it is. Your decisions are inclusive of the views from homeowners, renters, and business owners, regardless of where they live in the community.

There has not been one person or company in support of this venture. Traditionally the Village has opposed more transitional housing projects other than off Wards Lane. How does an expansion from an owner who has property maintenance issues correspond to the Village’s efforts to maintain and improve high quality of life?

I would ask, and look forward to, each of the board members open discussion around the project including the support for and why they think this project is good for the community, or open discussion around why they think this project is not right for the community. Other than a few questions from board members, there has been no discussion at all as to the position of the members of the board.
I look forward to Monday’s meeting.

Thank you.
William Nevins

Menands, NY 12204

I have numerous questions for the Mayor and the Board for the upcoming meeting on 10/2. Please review and provide responses to these during the meeting.

1. Verizon Tower update – when will this be operational?

2. Can you provide us with an update on Regeneron?

3. When will the residents see the savings from all the green initiatives?

3a. Can you explain how the Village paid for the LED lights that may have been covered by grant money?

3b. Does National Grid meter each of our lights or do we simply pay an estimate? If not metered, how will we track the savings calculated for the switch to LED to see how much the taxpayers saved?

4. Update on Menand Road paving – estimated dates?
4a. Did anyone draw up specs for the project?
4b. Who will oversee to ensure it is done correctly to reduce the impact on the residents?
4c. Will any of the sidewalks get repaired during the project?
4d. Will the culverts get corrected to ensure water flows into them to reduce flooding of the streets?
4e. Who fixes uneven sidewalks to reduce tripping?

5. Who ensures bushes and trees do not impact pedestrians’ access to sidewalks and signs? On 9/28 an 18-wheeler drove up Menand Road looking confused. One of the no-truck signs at the end of the road is covered by a tree.

6. When you switch your website and emails to .gov, will you be archiving the data from the .com site and emails?

7. Can anyone foil information or does a foil request need to come from an attorney?
8. 444 Broadway still looks terrible. Can we revisit the renderings they presented to show what they proposed the plaza would look like and request a timeline for them to complete these renovations?

8a. Is there another cannabis dispensary opening in the old Rite Aid location?
9. The old Carnesville Block lot still looks awful. Will they be required to finish cleaning it up?

Thanks

Steve Boulet

Presentation to the Village Zoning Board
Good evening. My name is Chuck Price, and I am here to offer actionable solutions regarding the proposed Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) at 444 Broadway, in lieu of a zoning appeal.

Core Problem: Non-Confirming Operations

• Our local zoning code, §169-10, prohibits “Business & Professional Offices” from offering on-site patient care. However, the proposed OTP has been granted a Certificate of Occupancy for such use, which would be in violation of the law if the facility is established there.
• According to Menands Zoning, a “Medical Facility” should include services like laboratories, outpatient departments, and staff offices. The proposed OTP does not align with this description:
• Primarily serves as a methadone dispensing center, deviating from Menands’ definition “Medical Facility.”
• Interestingly, the ordinance explicitly states that an “Urgent Care Facility” shall not be considered a Business and Professional Office, which sets a precedent that not all medical facilities automatically fit into the Business and Professional Office category.

Actionable Solution – Comprehensive Zoning and Compliance Review

To safeguard our community and maintain the integrity of Menands’ zoning laws, I propose a two-fold strategy:

• Initiate a Formal Zoning Re-Evaluation: Given that zoning laws are continually evolving, a comprehensive review of the proposed OTP facility is essential. The unique services provided by OTPs warrant this re-examination to ensure alignment with current zoning categories.
• Conduct a Local Zoning Compliance Review: Simultaneously, I urge the board to rigorously assess the OTP’s compliance with Menands’ local zoning definitions, particularly those related to “Professional Offices” and “Medical Facilities. This should encompass a thorough review of all operational aspects, from staffing to services offered.

Conclusion

Given the urgent zoning inconsistencies and immediate risks to community safety that we’ve discussed tonight, I strongly urge the board to pass a formal resolution tonight to:

1. Initiate a comprehensive zoning review and re-evaluation of the proposed OTP facility.
2. Conduct an immediate compliance audit of the OTP’s operations.

Both tasks are time-sensitive and should be completed within the next 30 days to ensure our community’s safety and the integrity of our zoning laws.

The safety of our residents is at stake; immediate and decisive action is imperative.

Hello I’m Cindy Price

The Village attorney has previously suggested that revisiting zoning could potentially open us up to lawsuits in the short term. He also said that if we disagree with the Building Department, we should have residents file article 78. I want to address both of those points.

One potential lawsuit: Our zoning laws exist to protect the community. Ignoring violations doesn’t reduce risk; it increases it. However, it’s important to weigh the potential risks of legal action against the potential risks of allowing a facility to operate that violates zoning rules.

And allowing something that breaks zoning rules would be reckless. It could even make us vulnerable to legal challenges down the road.
AS for the Article 78 idea: This board was elected to do what’s best for the community. Telling residents to sue the local government to uphold the law seems counterproductive and like you’re dodging your responsibilities.

It also erodes trust between the Village and its residents. That’s not the kind of governance we should want.

Bottom line: Your main role is to do right by the community. If you compromise on zoning laws, you’re not just risking legal issues. You’re failing in your ethical duties.

Given the immediate safety concerns, I strongly recommend you pass a formal resolution tonight. Let’s not force residents to take legal action against their own government.

Laura Harbour urged the Board to listen to the Price’s comments.

Bill Nevins asked the Board to really listen to the residents.

Paul Harbour complained about cars speeding on Brookside Avenue.

Lt. Schwebke gave the results of the speed trailer from Ward’s Lane.
