WPCNR NORTH END NEWS. By a White Plains CitizeNetReporter. January 13, 2006: A WPCNR observer attended the North Broadway Civic Association meeting Thursday evening, and files these observations on North End issues:
Attended last nights NBCA meeting a GW School. The big issues was on the Avalon Project and the sale of the ATT parking lot property.
CC member Arnold Bernstein was the quest speaker invited to discuss the process on Avalon's proposal to the City, Glen Hockley and Tom Roach attended. Big future issues which are going to surface and grow is the impact and encroachment on the surrounding neighborhoods, the 125 foot height for a six story bld, zoned currently, populations, infrastructure, density, visual residential changes in housing there.
NBCA President, Dolf Beil and Board is scheduling a January 31st meeting with communities, invited guests hopefully will be city administrative types and Avalon Bay reps, to do their dog and pony act for the audience. Meeting place to be decided, leaning towards GW school on the 31st January. (Editor's Note: Avalon Bay has announced this meeting as definite.) I have last night's agenda for review, it's public.
It's the next hot community developer issue, stay plugged in for that one, this is a meeting to film and
have the photo's of.
Other issue was the comprehensive list titled: Building Department Illegal Housing Action Inventory.
This is one for viewing that NBCA has taken the lead on, great issue correcting the violations in residental neighboorhods. All the issues CC members over the years advocate correcting, especialy during election campaigns, and remain uncorrected. A+ for NBCA
