What Part of "NO" Don't You Understand?

A representative of the ARRG read the following statement to the Planning Board Members on August 14. There was no response from the Board.

"I’d first like to thank the Board for allowing me the
opportunity to speak. That said, I would respectfully like to address
the members and ask the following ….

Why do we find ourselves here a year and a half after the
board first recommended this rezone, still awaiting Mr. Russo to comply
with both NYS SEQR law and the boards requests?

We know Mr. Russo won’t be making an appearance this evening
since he met with Mr. Metzger on the 3 rd and yet again failed
to fulfill the requests of this Board. A year and a half has gone by and not
even a simple EAF has been completed among many other items. Is this acceptable
to the Planning Board? Has anything of this magnitude ever been pursued in such
a haphazard and unprofessional manner?

Even if the Planning Board feels this is a good project WHICH WE OBVIOUSLY DISAGREE, it can be easily be said that Mr. Russo is not the person to be trusted with it. Every time he has addressed you he either claims no environmental impact or argues about what he needs to do…that is, when he’s not threatening a
lawsuit.

Why is the Planning Board allowing itself to be taken so lightly? If his rezone request is granted what type of behavior can you expect from him then? We can only wonder, but are some members so for this project that his behavior is allowed to continue?

Given Mr. Russo’s disrespect and belligerence toward the Planning Board, we
respectfully ask that this project be passed along to our Town Board's
elected leaders where it belongs, only this time with a negative
recommendation."
