Trustee Mark,
Totally unacceptable and deplorable. Is our volunteer government working for us or against us ? Same for the Village Staff.They are in a hurry to listen and accommodate any developer whereas the resident does not get on the agenda, is not heard, the pleas not listened to. Scarsdale and the residents are continuously abused inspite of letters, reports, petitions. When will enough be enough ?The out of town developer gets the red carpet treatment, the resident is ignored, repeatedly.I asked for a moratorium more than a month ago, we got on the agenda on May 28th finally, and nothing got done ! Again ! and Again ! and Again !Is this the way to accommodate a resident of 22 years ? What am I asking for, something bad or good for this Village ? Are you all married to developers ? I do not understand any of this.I will not give up. June 3rd is my birthday, but I am planning on being there.At the Planning Board meetings I told Mr. Fish that Scarsdale is finished, that he should go elsewhere. I will repeat this, if necessary in the 6 other languages I know, but at times I fail to understand the English our trustees speak, I must confess. Unless, there are issues I am not fully aware of...I hope you have realized by now, finally that it is time to rezone and stop development in the Heathcote area and in all Scarsdale. No more development in all of Scarsdale forever !I will not tire of asking for no development. I will not tolerate abusive behavior. This is like a healthy person writing his or her death sentence. It cannot happen. Scarsdale deserves better. You cannot volunteer to harm Scarsdale.Our Planner keeps saying Scarsdale is 99.9 % developed and yet her department and her board keeps pushing for more and more development. Is this planning for our destruction ?Thank you very much, we do not need this.Her methods are archaic, her board run by self-serving volunteers interested in self-service and not public service. None of this is acceptable any more.Let all developers pack up and go away, today !

Ms. Levi-- In response to your email of 4:31 pm today, attached is letter dated May 8, 2013 from Mr. Oder that will be the subject of the Land Use Committee meeting scheduled for June 3, 2013. The related drawings are available for inspection in Village Hall.
Below is a link to the Planning Board decisions rendered on April 24, 2013 in which it is reported that they made a favorable recommendation on Mr. Oder's proposal.

I do not have current materials at this point regarding Harcourt Woods and believe a presentation will be made at the Municipal Services Committee meeting scheduled for June 5, 2013.
Best regards, Jon Mark
From an e-mail to Trustee Mark:
Trustee Mark,
Is there anything I can read on 2-4 Weaver prior to the meeting on Monday that would hopefully make me a more informed listener and commentator ?
Same for Municipal Services Meeting on Harcourt on Wednesday.
I certainly hope the non-binding document has not been blinding you or the Mayor or the other Trustees and now finally you are ready to throw it out the window and acquire 2-4 Weaver via eminent domain and give us the park we need and deserve, especially after the disaster at One Palmer and all the recent "developments" that this community has had to endure. Enough is enough. ...
Please use this opportunity to re-zone the Heathcote Five Corners area.
We no longer want to entertain any more buildings in Scarsdale. In fact, please sign my petition and let us finally bring Scarsdale to 2013 instead of 1701 and stop development altogether.
Thank you so much,
Lika

Yeah, finish development forever and ever in Scarsdale and in the whole world. We have done enough damage already.
Enough development in Scarsdale. Let them all go to Greenwich, CT. That is where they live, right ? Or, Scottsdale Arizona or Texas...
Would a healthy person write his/ her own death sentence ? This is just the same thing. If you need explanation please call me at 722-0004. We'll be up to our necks in water, and the Planning Board, our resident volunteers, will still be reviewing applications for " development " in wetlands and telling me to take it up with the Trustees. God help us !
Volunteer at a nature preserve, take a hike in a park, and then go to Manhattan. Let me know what makes you feel better. Look at the eyes of that bunny in your yard and tell him, his home will be axed and tell him you are not lifting a finger. Let asphalt and concrete cure you.
Study nature, Physics a little... Marvel at all of this, the divine, the sublime. If you need help, let me know.

Be well, happy Memorial Day weekend to all.
