October 6, 2021 Adopted Planning Board Minutes

PUBLIC COMMENT e Mr. Kevin Malanga (57 Ridge Road) said that he is astonished of the removal of the Hecker house of this distinction. If in litigation, only in regards to painting and anew roof. Spoke directly to Mr. Guarino and said that for him to say Ridge Road is a private road and doesn’t need to be counted is disappointing and this decision of the Planning Board is disappointing. ¢ Ms. Sally Malanga (57 Ridge Road) said that she’s surprised but not at the same time as this decision seems like a personal attack (political) on a public forum by Councilwoman McCartney and Mr. Guarino. That taking this property off the list “is no burden to you, but urge you to reconsider as small minded as it might be”. e Councilwoman McCartney responded stating that we as Board understand significance of property to put on hold because of litigation. To which Mr. Guarino agrees. e Inresponse Chairman Bagoff instructed Mr. McPherson and Ms. Chandler that if litigation ends this property will reappear for the next scheduled regular meeting. e Mr. Feitlowitz asks the Resolution to state that property “not be changed”. To which Chairman Bagoff said that the Board will utilize in accordance with litigation in which Mr. McPherson agreed.
