Is developer adding to the building apts or taking away the number of apartments currently and combining units? The last time I drove by that faciltiy it was not in the best of shape. But I am concerned about an owner/landlord who doesn't live in or near the City of Kingston taking possesion. And would these apartments end up in a Section 8 designation? We have enough of those scenarios in the city at present.(pieces of our city properties being held hostage by developers)<BR/><BR/>It is good to see that neighboring alderman can communicate a common interest.Things/projects can get done if there is a common concern.<BR/>If there is a public speaking event at the planning board they need to open up MORE time for citizens to speak and not just a 10 minute window for all.Had previous dealings with planning board and to allow a total of 10 minutes for all to address their concerns is not really a public forum but rather "courtesy" to the public. Makes the citizens feel that the board has already made up their collective minds and that they are just going thru the motions when dealing with the residents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-21837287837951593482009-02-02T10:21:00.000-05:002009-02-02T10:21:00.000-05:00Hey 9:18 'On occasion, someone will ask that I us...Hey 9:18 'On occasion, someone will ask that I use the Blog to announce what's going on in the neighborhood. I post something local almost every third time.<BR/><BR/>If I were to miss this public hearing or any others that have such an impact on a neighborhood, I would get reprimanded again. Don't you think? <BR/><BR/>Also, the other side of spring St is Ward Nine. It does affect the whole neighborhood. All I want is for everyone to be aware so, any voices in support of against have the opportunity to speak. I'm sure Gordon does good work and the Planning Board will do it's proper job. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and parking is terrible everywhere in Kingston, not just Brewster St. <BR/>Thanks for stopping in!Mike Madsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527557594630435730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-22637865214064931802009-02-02T09:18:00.000-05:002009-02-02T09:18:00.000-05:00Once again someone wants to do good in Kingston an...Once again someone wants to do good in Kingston and he hits a stone wall from you and Senor. Why try to increase the value of the property which would increase the tax base just leave it as is. Just like that old trash building on Henry Stret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-4514546598425958992009-02-01T17:10:00.000-05:002009-02-01T17:10:00.000-05:00Maybe you should focus on the good old boys on the...Maybe you should focus on the good old boys on the Boards appointed by the biggest pickpocket of them all.<BR/><BR/>Where will Kingston be when Sottile's campaign contributor Iannucchi passes away?

T...It will make no difference at all if we attend. The planning board and zoning board are just puppets for the highest bidder. Who cares if the Landlord lives in california or Iraq, as long as he keeps the property up. He has a property manager and as long as codes are enforced there should not be a problem. After renovations are complete he will be re-assessed and be paying more in taxes, whats the problem. <BR/>Parking on Brewster street is a mess and you do nothing to fix that Mike. Worry about your own ward first. Senor a big boy and can take care of himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
