Port Chester Board of Trustees: Hearing Tonight on Site Plan Rules

Updates part of effort to improve village's zoning code.

The Port Chester village Board of Trustees meets at 7 tonight at the Village Court, where they'll be opening a public hearing on updates to the village site plan review procedures and standards.

The update is part of the ongoing effort to improve the village zoning code, which oversees development in Port Chester.

The trustees begin their evening with a 6 p.m. closed-door "executive session" to discuss a personnel matter. The public meeting is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

Two presentations are scheduled for tonight at the meeting:

- A recommendation by the Council for Community Services and Park Commission on a smoking ban in designate areas.

- On the village Comprehensive Plan and Draft Zoning Amendments.

Up for approval tonight are also awarding bids for sidewalk and curb replacement as well as road resurfacing. St. Peter's Espiscopal Church is also seeking permission for a procession on Sept. 29 and residents of Puritan Drive are seeking permission to for a block party on Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., that would shut the street from Putnam Drive to Indian Road.

The Port Chester school district would also like to have a fire truck at its annual homecoming activities.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion
