WPCNR THE PLANNING NEWS. January 17, 2006: The Planning Board meeting Tuesday evening will have a new look.  New members of the Board, Michael Quinn (having joined within the last year), Cas Cibelli (former candidate for County Legislator), and Daniel Schorr make up the Board. Gone is veteran planning guru, Robert Stackpole, who was not reappointed to the Board by the Mayor. No information on the new members has yet to be issued by the Mayor's Office.

In addition to Mr. Stackpole, Carlos Roskol and J. Russell Imlay completed their terms. The departure of the three leaves the Planning Board with just three experienced Board Members.

Up on tonight's Planning Board Agenda will be the Pinnacle, the Avalon Bay Church and Barker project, and possibly The Metropolitan on DeKalb Avenue.

The Planning Board 2006  lineup now begins with outgoing Chairperson Mary Cavallero leading off, who hopes to leave the board by March, veterans Steve Alexander, and Jim Garment with relative newcomer Mr. Quinn, and rookies, Mr. Cibelli and Mr. Schorr. There is one vacant position and one alternate to be appointed.
