While I was hanging my freshly laundered clothes out on the clothesline in the backyard today, I thought about the wonderful pot roast that was cooking for the 5 course meal I was preparing for my family in my freshly scrubbed oven that sparkled like sunshine bouncing off the water.....and I thought of the beautiful Irondequoit Bay.....and then I thought of Newport.....and then I thought of Dan Aureli.
See how the thought process of miserable housewives work?

Newport Article In D&C
Link.
It's official - there is a State archaeological study being done on the project site by NYSOPRHP - and NYSDEC agrees with the archaeological recommendation, and they are still waiting on more details about grading, erosion control, and site restoration from RSM before they issue any permits.
From the article: "RSM Development, the project developers, has reduced the number of housing units and made other concessions."
They reduced the number of housing units from 58 to 54 - 1 townhouse and 3 condos - and the "concessions" they made were to remove the westernmost docks and construct a turnaround for emergency vehicles and buses etc.
That's all they have conceded to in 3 years.

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.

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.

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.

PB Meeting 11/23
There was the approval of the draft FEIS for 500 Newport Rd. With a couple of edits, it will become the FEIS. Unfortunately, any of the links to the DEIS (draft environmental impact statement) on the Town's website is gone now - any of the links just go to the Costich website. Hopefully, the FEIS will take it's place at some point.
Here is the link to the PB meeting (from the pledge to the end) for November 23, 2009.
A gentleman had stated that the meeting wasn't valid because

I-Post Goodies
A lot of "good stuff" in today's I-Post. A Q&A featuring each candidate responding in 100 words or less, a sampling of their ideas, and comments on issues facing the town.
Unfortunately, Deborah Essley's comments seem to have been edited even though

Newport Road
You may wonder why I think bonding a million of taxpayer dollars for the Newport project is a load of hooey.
Here's why:
