VISION's roving reporters have checked in from our nation's capital to brief us on the conference: Beginning with a ambitious Advocacy Day at Capitol Hill, the 7th Annual New Partners for Smart Growth conference started with a strong agenda. Combined with the promise of political and climate change, this year's conference is covering a wide range of issues and speakers.
The topics in discussion illustrate the varied backgrounds and professions that compose the conference: affordable housing, transportation and infrastructure, LEED-ND, environmental protection, open space preservation, alternative energy sources, green building, transit-oriented development and sustainability. The conference also offers tours of adjacent communities that were planned with Smart Growth principles or are illustrative of what Smart Growth aspires to for the nation's communities. Once we are back in town, we will share with you some of the best practices from other suburban areas around the country. Stay tuned. |
This week, we are featuring a live update from the New Partners for Smart Growth Conference in Washington, DC. 
With an attendance of nearly 1,400 people from 6 different continents from varying backgrounds, this year's event is emblematic of the nation's hunger for change and action. |

Vintage Square Proposal Approved by Riverhead Town Board
The resolution also authorizes Town Supervisor Phil Cardinale to complete the paperwork for the actual sale of the property, which is currently owned by the Town, that sits between the State Supreme Court and the LIRR station.
Once completed, the Railroad Avenue Urban Renewal Corridor will be the largest revitalization project in Riverhead's history and will be a significant gain for transit-oriented development advocates, as it connects the downtown with links to the LIRR, bus, and a local trolley. More information is available on Vintage Square's website or in a recent article from Long Island Business News. Suffolk County Exec. Steve Levy Announces Ambitious Budget for 2008
“We must continue to grow our economy,” Levy said. “A healthy business climate leads to more jobs, more incomes, and more money spent and filtered down through our economy. This means more sales tax coming back to our county coffers in our attempt to relieve the burden of the property taxpayer."
Presiding Officer Bill Lindsay said, “I’d like to think we can achieve all of it. It’s quite an agenda, but you have to shoot high or you won’t get anything done.” Leg. Jay Schneiderman said, “there is only so far you can go before cutting into vital programs,” he said. “We’re all going to work together on this.” Leg. Daniel Losquandro, perhaps the most vocal opponent, added that “every other level of government is facing the same issues. We’re facing very real issues in Suffolk County, but where are the other levels of government supposed to find the money? I’m not optimistic. What are we going to do is that money does not materialize?” Mr. Levy plans to meet with lawmakers beginning next week to discuss the budget in more detail. From VISION's perspective, downtown revitalization initiatives, proposals for more affordable housing, and investments in sewer infrastructure are precicely the types of projects we would like to see move forward. More information is available from Newsday or the Long Island Business News. Affordable Housing and Inclusionary Zoning Bill Moves Forward in State Legislature
Matthew Crosson, president of the Long Island Association and a major advocate for inclusionary zoning, said this is a huge first step, noting that “Affordable housing has been the No. 1 issue in the business community and the rest of the community on Long Island for the past four or five years.”
State Assembly members Bob Barra and Earlene Hooper, and Sen. Kenneth LaValle had not signed on as sponsors by the time the bill was submitted. Tom Dunham, spokesman for Sen. Dean Skelos, R-Rockville Centre, who is sponsoring the Senate bill, said “this bill is crucial since last year the Legislature passed a program providing down payment assistance for new employees.”
According to the article, Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy also supports the bills, but wants to continue to work to make them even better, coupling it with his proposed suburban workforce housing bill. Levy’s proposal states that at least 50 percent of the housing be below the median income. There are also options for developers who cannot meet the minimum. They can build on another housing site owned by the builder within the municipality, pay a $180,000 fee that could go towards an affordable housing fund, or have the money paid transferred to another municipality in order to have it built there. According to Crosson, this bill “will open the door for real progress on affordable housing,” such as legislation on incentives for local governments and a variety of other programs. If passed, the legislation will go into effect Jan. 1, 2009. It is expected to be voted on this month. Vision Long Island supports the Long Island Workforce Housing Act as well as the multi-county initiative spearheaded by Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy. Both proposals address the need for workforce housing and in many ways compliment each other. We hope to see successful passage of one or both of them this legislative session. State of the MTA - Stay Tuned
Elliot Sander will speak in the Great Hall at Copper Union on March 3rd on the MTA’s capital construction plans. The plans largely rely on the approval of congestion pricing, which, if lost, would create a huge hole in funding for the next five-year capital plan. The current plan being developed will be in the $25 to $30 billion range and will include major expansion projects like the Second Avenue subway and upgrading the signals and communications systems, as well as regular maintenance. According to the article, Ernest Tollerson, Director for Policy and Media Relations at the MTA, urged members of the cabinet, agency presidents and other high-ranking administrators to forward ideas for the address. The MTA plans to publicize its message through new forms of media as well as old, through YouTube, podcasts and blogs. Neysa Pranger, spokeswoman for the Regional Plan Association, felt that it was “great news and a smart thing to do. Given the state’s constrained budget environment, the MTA is going to need all the help it can get from the public and legislative leaders. Even with congestion pricing, shortfalls may exist.” Read the article from the Daily News here. Village of Farmingdale Mayor Announces Launch of Main Street Revitalization Committee
Debbie Podolski, the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce Farmingdale Library Director, was elected as President of the Committee. Fellow Committee members have resided and worked in the Village of Farmingdale for many years and add diverse input and experiences to the group. Though the committee is in its early organizational stage, they have had to consider a Village Board vote for Croxley Ale House to operate at the former site of The Downtown. The Committee voiced their approval and subsequently, the Board gave the needed approvals to allow Croxley to proceed.
Members of the public who attended the meeting spoke on garbage removal, parking inadequacies, streetscaping, community events, variety of stores, and possible code regulations to create the desired vision for downtown Farmingdale. According to Mayor Graf, the committee is off to a great start by addressing key issues, developing plans and reviewing community feedback. These suggestions and reports will be available to the public on the village's website. Community members are invited to participate in the process. In Light of Lawsuits, Trump On the Ocean Hearing Moved Back to Long Island
On March 4th, a state hearing on the Trump on the Ocean catering hall and restaurant will be held on Long Island, though the specific location has yet to be determined. The agreement reached on Tuesday was partially a result of Garden City South resident Patricia Friedman, who sued to block the hearing that had been scheduled for Tuesday in Westchester.
The Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce were the chief propoents for an open hearing on Long Island. The State Department of State's Mid-Hudson Review Board, which had previously denied Trump's variance request to build a basement in a flood plain in December, will rehear the case at the Long Island venue. In addition to the variance to build in a flood plain, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has also asked for a coastal erosion hazard area permit in order to modify the boardwalk and landscaping around the site. Neither of these outcomes is dependent upon the basement variance that Trump seeks. See Newsday's coverage of the story here. Is Commerce Bank Listening to the Residents of Lake Ronkonkoma? Unfortunately, No!
After the bank’s legal team presented their position, several civic members and resident who live in adjacent to the parcel appealed to the Board to reject the request. The recent Lake Ronkonkoma Civic Organization newsletter outlined the civics’ arguments. Based on the specific conditions required under town code, the civic representatives presented the following reasons for rejecting the permit:
- Providing the multiple drive-thru lanes will result in the removal of all the old-growth trees on the parcel and the existing natural sound barrier. In leveling the highest point along Portion Road, these radical changes in topography could lead to erosion and flooding. - The illumination of the drive-thru lanes will be disturbing to adjacent homeowners. - A multi-lane drive-thru is inappropriate considering that all of the other banks in the vicinity do not have a drive-thru or are located away from residential areas. The Planning Board will decide on the permit after receiving addition information from the Town’s Planning Department. The Lake Ronkonkoma Civic Organization will continue to provide updates on this issue. New York Times Reporter Covering Commute in Region Comments on LIRR Trips
According to the article, it does not have the best of reputations. In Ronkonkoma, the electric trains terminate and diesel locomotives take over. It is also the most heavily traveled station in the Long Island Rail Road system. To make matters worse, when the railroad electrified the route in the 1970s, officials decided it would be too expensive to build another track or a siding (to divert a train while another passes by), so even today, they are unable to run a train in both directions at once.
Cohen clearly had some trouble comprehending why all these people put up with this hour-plus ride instead of moving closer to work. For some, it was affordable housing. Yet friend’s recommendations, the beaches, the quality of life, and the large properties all spoke to these commuters at one time or another, and for some still do. Yet, when asked, “Is it worth it,” the general comments were “Not today.” With gasoline, the train ticket and subway fare, she spends $350 a month and the trip takes two and a half hours each way, five hours a day. Despite this fact, the schlep is a trade off for a house with a pool and volleyball court. A resident of Mount Sinai said, “I would not advise my kids to do what I do. I couldn’t see them waking up at 6 a.m., schlepping to the city — and the expense. I did it, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else.” Best of Long Island Survey by Long Island Press
What is significant about these results is that a lot of votes went to mom and pop shops, often trumping big-box retail that is so entrenched in our lifestyles. While there is a strong prevalence of big-box stores on Long Island, the poll revealed that Long Islanders still strongly value independent stores that add unique character to their communities. Amongst the winners are Tiger Lilly Cafe in downtown Port Jefferson, Vittorio's Wine Bar in downtown Amityville, the Cinema Arts Centre and the IMAC theatre in Huntington Village, and the John Engeman theatre in Northport Village. We at VISION also hope you find new and interesting places to patronize through this guide of Long Island’s best. See the entire list of awardees from the Long Island Press here. |
Nominations are now being accepted for Vision Long Island's 2008 Smart Growth Awards, to be held on Thursday, June 12th, from 11:30am to 2:00pm at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. 
The Vintage Group's proposal for an entertainment complex in downtown Riverhead moved a step closer to reality earlier this week when the Riverhead Town Board unanimously approved a resolution that declared the Group a qualified and eligible sponsor for the redevelopment of the Railroad Avenue Urban Renewal Corridor. 
The proposal, which has been met with both praise and criticism since it was first submitted in the summer of 2005, boasts a 10-screen movie theater, commercial space, and multi-level parking for downtown shoppers, as well as for the State Supreme Court buildings and the area's new Culinary Arts School.
On Wednesday, Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy made his State of the County address, with high hopes for the new year. The success of the plan, laid out at the Touro Law Center in Central Islip, will depend on whether or not the County secures state and federal funding for everything from rising property taxes to creating more jobs, improving sewers and roads, and creating more affordable housing.
The budget created a divide among legislators, with some questioning its feasibility and others praising its ambition.
According to 
Mr. Samuels’ noted that contrary to previous years of opposition in the Senate, the Long Island Workforce Housing Act nearly has the unanimous support of Long Island’s Senate and Assembly delegations. 
The article states that, “In addition to the 10 percent requirement, the inclusionary zoning bill includes a bonus density for developers who comply. It also requires the housing costs be at or below 130 percent of the Long Island median household income, or $90,000. The target is to provide housing that costs no more than $300,000 for individuals or families who make $120,000 a year or less.” 
According to the 
A recent 
Eric Alexander of Vision Long Island moderated the first meeting, providing advice, valuable input, and guidance in “jump-starting” the committee. He also referred to the recently released 2008 Long Island Index report as encouraging proof that the Village of Farmingdale is “ahead of the curve and on the right track for the future,” for undertaking the visioning process in their downtown. 
"We wanted the hearing on Long Island because it affects Long Island. We expect a big turnout," said Friedman. Increasing pressure from Island politicians and civic groups also motivated state officials to cancel the Westchester hearing and move it to Long Island. 
- It will prevent the reasonable use of adjacent residential property and negatively impact the value of those properties due to increased noise and air pollution of idling cars.
In a continuing series about commuting in the New York City region, New York Times writer Billie Cohen featured the route that so many commuting Long Islanders take: the LIRR Ronkonkoma line to Penn Station.
Parking at the Ronkonkoma station is another complaint. Cohen notes that despite having 5,880 free and non-permitted spaces under the various jurisdictions of the Long Island Rail Road and the town of Brookhaven, NY, as well as a paid parking garage and a private lot, there still isn’t enough room. To help, the Long Island Rail Road is designing a lot that will add 325 spaces, slated for completion in 2009.
The Long Island press recently published results from an end-of-year survey about the Best of Long Island. Over 100,000 votes were cast and the finalists and winners in wide-ranging categories from best local musician to best restuarant by category, were posted online, all chosen by local readers. |
