JOINT MEETING OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PLANNING BOARD, SEPTEMBER 30, 1976 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Synnett at 7:00 P.M. Present: Mayor J. Donald Synnett, Trustees Raymond Bain, Raymond Belding and James Alfonso, Planning Board Members Braccone, Castello, Delany and Epstein, Zoning Enforcement Officer Haubennestel, Assessor Harry Greco, Treasurer.Campilii, Village Attorney Lyons, Thomas Marcojohn and Saul Kassow, attorney. Attorney Kassow made an informal presentation of the manner in which Thomas Marcojohn would like to develop his property on the Albany-Post Road. The owner hopes to use about 30 acres for single family residential pruposes, the same being developed with one bedroom homes for senior citizens. About 6 1/2 acres would be used for medical offices and condominiums and approximately 10 acres for recreational purposes. The recreational use contemplates the establishment of a roller skating rink. The owner expressed some concern over the possibility that they would have to install roads in accordance with Village specifications prior to development, and requested that the Board consider allowing the establishment of the recreational facility with a private drive from Route 9 as a temporary means of access. The whole thing is now only a concept and the owner requested the general reaction of the Board of Trustees and the Planning Board. The owners presently have no firm commitments of any kind from tenants, and realize that some change in zoning would be required in order to install a roller skating rink. It was the consensus of both boards that the plan was in general a good one, but that implementation would have to be carefully considered. The meeting adjourned at 8:35 P. M. SPECIAL MEETING, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SEPTEMBER 30, 1976 The meeting was called to order by the Mayor at 8:45 P. M. Present: Mayor Synnett, Trustees Bain, Belding and Alfonso, Treasurer Campilii, Assessor Greco and Attorney Lyons. Attorney Lyons advised the Board that the 72 and '73 tax review proceedings for Imperial Plaza and Imperial Towers had been placed on the Supreme Court Trial calendar for February of 1977. He reported that in the '74 proceeding for the Plaza, the assessment had been reduced from $1,874,600 to $1,300,000. This entailed a re- duction of $574,000, but was deemed in the best interest of the Village because the existing assessment was out of line with the sales price when the premises were sold by the East New York Savings Bank
