Oblong Land Conservancy questions legality of Rasco Stipulation Agreement: “application should be denied….”
May 17, 2010
Sibyll Gilbert read a letter from the Oblong Land Conservancy to the Plannng Board at the May 17, 2010 meeting:
“The Conservancy further requests that the Planning Board refrain from relying on the December 1, 2009 stipulation in making any decision on this application as the stipulation was unlawfully entered into by the Dover Town Board with the applicant. The application should be denied as the proposed use is a solid waste management facility under Section 145-50 of the Dover Code and is not a continuation of a lawful preexisting, nonconforming use. THE TOWN BOARD CANNOT USURP THE AUTHORITY OF THE PLANNING BOARD, ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OR THE BUILDING INSPECTOR UNDER THE GUISE OF A COMPROMISE OF A CLAIM PURSUANT TO THE NEW YORK STATE TOWN LAW”

Rasco: Public Comment to the Dover Planning Board, May 17, 2010: CRGD

Dear Dover Planning Board Co-Chairs Wylock and LaRobardier,
We believe that the Rasco Application should be held to the same high standards as every project proposed in or adjacent to the Great Swamp Critical Environmental Area. This should be especially true for Rasco, a business that relies on bringing Petroleum Contaminated Soils to a site above our single source Aquifer. Why should Rasco be granted an exception that would have been unthinkable for its neighbor, Cricket Valley Energy, or the Dover Knolls and Wind Rose developments up river?
The fact that the application arrived at your desks is another matter all together.
Thank you for doing everything in your power to protect the water supply of the residents of Dover and Wingdale, and for giving the “hard look” to all site plan proposals within the Great Swamp CEA, as required under SEQR.
Respectfully,
Stancy DuHamel
Coalition for the Responsible Growth of Dover
