Huh?
Link to 13Wham video. Or, click on play below to view.
I was reading Rachel Barnhart's blog over at 13Wham - and it discusses the importance of the support of Senator's Robach and Alesi for passing mayoral control of the RCSD to city council.
Good blog, and interesting quotes from Alesi and Robach and Urbanski.....but the one quote from Duffy I found interesting.

Archaeological Site At Newport Project?
The following documents are in reference to RSM and incomplete applications dealing with their project. The most recent e-mail is at the top, and if you start from the bottom and read up, you will get the time line of everything a little better.
Newport Archaeological Site
Basically, the NYSDEC sent a letter to RSM on February 11, 2010 in reference to the incomplete application RSM submitted on January 27, 2010. RSM has also failed to provide the separate application to the DEC in regards to off site storm water drain work associated with Newport Road. The attachment at the bottom is the list of items that the environmental analyst for the NYSDEC sent to RSM.

Etch-A-Sketchplanation For Condo Heights
Three new documents were added to the Newport page of the Irondequoit website today (I was on the site early this morning, and they were not on there). They have added a revised resolution proposal, condo height explanation from the architects, and a fluff letter from the Conservation Board. The resolution was revised on 3/11/2010, the architects submitted their explanation and the town received them on 3/8/2010, and the CB letter was received on 3/11/2010.
Apparently, RSM has hired an etch-a-sketch expert to explain the building heights of the condos (in their own warped way) as being "difficult to define" due to the natural slope of the land and grading/entrances and whatever else they could think of. I believe the axis of the earth, the magnetic fields, and the alignment of the planets has something to do with it too....but I'm not sure.

Hairy Situation At Mayor's Ball
YNN article and video.
(Check out the young adult behind Pavone at around the :39 mark of the video. He wipes his nose, checks his hand for the offending booger, then strikes a pose. So funny.)
More than 200 protesters were outside of the Rochester Riverside Convention Center on Saturday night to protest Mayoral Control of the RCSD.

Congel Pays His Taxes - Morelle Wants To Give Him State Aid
"I have not spoken to the developer in several months," Morelle said, "So I think we're all rightly concerned about plans he has going forward, and I think it's time that people stepped up the pressure. And, 'look you have to make a decision soon.' Obviously it's an important project and we want it to move forward, but there won't be any State Aid and I won't be advocating for State Aid until we see a lot more activity by the developer."
You're going to give him State Aid too?!?!

Site Capacity At Newport
Newport Site Capacity Worksheet
The Base Site area is 5.85 acres.
The EPOD Protection Land is 4.40 acres.
That leaves Newport with a net buildable site area of 1.45 acres. IF they had to follow the Site Capacity Worksheet that other subdivision parcels do.

Tax Exemptions For Plebeians Who Own A House?
The Democrats of our Monroe County Legislature are proposing to enact a local law to amend the County Code to enact a "Real Property Tax Exemption for Capital Improvements to Residential Properties."
Kinda like a PILOT deal for Plebeians. Sorta. Well, not really, but....it's a tax break for the "regular folk" who own residential units and improve them.

25 Years Ago
It was a dark and stormy night. A Master Plan was under way. This plan was developed in 1985, and someday.......someday they would use it.
That day finally came, almost 25 years later.

Only Plebeians Pay Taxes On Time
A while ago I had written a blog about this neat online tool that the County offers to pay/view your taxes. In the blog I looked up Medley Cen...er....I mean Lakeridge Centre, and I could view tax histories for town, county, and school district payments.
It looks like, on top of owing the Town of Irondequoit $500,000 (plus other payments that are due per the PILOT I don't know if he's paid them yet) - he is also late on paying his taxes that were due by February 10th, 2010 - and now he is accruing penalties/interest.
Check it out.
