  Chris,
  
  If a council member has a business relationship with a principal in an application, then he should absolutely recluse himself from any vote regarding that project. To not do so would absolutely be a conflict of interest.

This issue played a major role in stopping the first Avalon Bay proposal in Oyster Bay.

Glen Isle partners says they have the best Interest of The residents of Glen Cove in mind. What do you think? They also claim that the tax dollars and fees generated from the luxury apartments will solve the Severe financial Stress the city is currently experiencing. This is Completely false .The problem is the Holtzcamp administration did not raise taxes for eight years. The tax increase we just incurred is to make up for the last eight years. I am for devolopmet but not for over development.

Hoping for the SIXTEEN STORY Waterfront permits/ development to help bail the city out. It is simple If you spend more then you bring in you run out of money. The tax increases In no way will bail the city out of debt it will just keep the city running.Please reply im interisted to read your opinion on the matter.

     CONDO PROPOSAL
     
     Making it look good
     
     Economist Martin Cantor on Friday kicked off a breakfast roundtable on brownfield redevelopment by talking up a hot-button project: the Glen Isle proposal, which would bring 16-story luxury condo buildings to the former Superfund site along Glen Cove Creek.
     
     Cantor received $10,000 from developers Don Monti and Michael Posillico to prepare a document that attributed official rejection of their proposal to the city's financial problems.
     
     The relationship was disclosed during the event, keynoted by Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy. But that didn't keep Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi from condemning Cantor's use of an academic bully pulpit to promote Glen Isle.
     I can't stand that they're using money to put out their version of the facts and no one's holding them accountable," Suozzi said.

  I do not understand how you can take a Superfund (TOXIC)site that was said to be cleaned to commercial standards, change it to residential standards , tell the people of Glen Cove that it is now suitable for residences (16 plus stories high) then sell more sewerage rights from several surrounding towns, to run passed your TOXIC site into an already polluted harbor. How many more cars ,people, (without children)bathrooms and importation of sewerage will it take to make the quality of life and the financial situation better in this City.This whole plan from the day MW3 was done makes no sense. No one has any vision of this staying a bedroom community with a viable future, that is what we want, have and need. Not failed ferries, Hotels, sky scrapers, and more sewereage into the ovwrwhelmed Long island sound, the whole reason we live on an island in the first place.

  Developer fighting battles on 2 fronts

  STRATFORD — U.S. Army officials, their patience exhausted after waiting 11 years for plans to advance, have made it clear: They do not want Team Stratford and its new management group, Monti-Posillico of New York, to redevelop the sprawling former Army Engine plant on Main Street.
  But Donald Monti, the management group's new leader, has more than one fight on his hands.
  
  In Glen Cove, N.Y., a small city of 26,000 on Long Island, residents and officials are sharply divided over plans for a major waterfront development project at a former military munitions site — a debate that is reminiscent of what's happening in Stratford.
  
  The Long Island project, however, has advanced further, with a signed contract between Monti-Posillico and the city and partial cleanup of the contaminated 50-acre site. Controversy on Long Island
  
  The Glen Isle project would be a multi-use development that includes more than 1,110 housing units. Opponents, however, contend the ever-changing plan, which originally proposed 590 housing units, will damage the environment, clog local roads and bring in too many new residents, placing a heavy burden on the school system, police and volunteer fire department.
  
  The opponents also maintain Monti-Posillico does not have the qualifications, as it has claimed, to clean up either site in Long Island or Stratford, because it has never done so before on such a scale.
  
  "The plans keeps changing with more housing units and less commercial and industrial

  use as time goes on, and we don't believe the level of contamination makes it a good site for housing at all, though it provides greater profit to the developer," said longtime Glen Cove environmentalist and political activist Janet Blatt, who has spoken against the plan at numerous meetings. "When the Monti group came in here, they said they were the perfect group for the project, just like they are saying in Stratford," Blatt said. "But we are finding out otherwise. I would suggest the council and leaders in Stratford take a closer look at what is happening in our community."
  The Glen Cove plan has become so controversial, in fact, it has even resulted in a police investigation stemming from a heated Sept. 21 public council meeting. During the meeting, a resident claimed he overheard Monti saying angrily "he's a dead man" after Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi told Monti his five-minute time limit was up.
  
  Glen Cove's Deputy Police Chief William Whitton confirmed in a telephone interview with the Connecticut Post that a "very credible" longtime resident, whose identity is being withheld as part of the ongoing investigation, see next comment.....

  I personally went to City Hall and talked to the man, who was within a foot of Mr. Monti, and he was a very credible witness," Whitton said. "I then asked Mr. Monti if he said those words, and he responded that he could not recall. But he was adamant he never has harmed anyone and did not intend to say anything in the form of that kind of threat."
  
  Still, Whitton said police did guard the mayor's home that night and have increased the normal number of checks on his house.
  
  "It was a matter we took very seriously and we warned Mr. Monti if there were another similar incident, he would be arrested," the deputy chief said. "Since then, there hasn't been another problem."
  
  While the mayor said he never heard Monti make the threat, he still worries about the incident.
  
  "When there's a lot of money at stake, like in this project, you just never know what could happen," said Suozzi, an independent elected last year to a two-year term. Monti "emphatically denies" making the statement and insisted his group is "more than qualified" to handle cleanups in both Glen Cove and Stratford.
  
  "I never said it, or anything even remotely like that, I didn't say anything at all," Monti said. "It was a packed room and very noisy, and someone probably thought they heard something that was never said." The old bait and switch?
  
  Glen Cove's mayor and other residents are anxious to issue Stratford a warning.
  
  "We have seen what some consider a bait-and-switch game regarding what is called here the Glenn Isle project," the mayor said. "When the developers originally presented this project a few years before I was elected, it was a far different project than the one today, which would have 860 condo units. Now, they are considering over 1,100. I would strongly advise Stratford to proceed very carefully and cautiously."
  
  Blatt, the Glen Cove environmentalist, said that when the Stratford Town Council visited Long Island several months ago for a tour by Monti, councilmen did not seek out those with an opposing view, or even the mayor, meeting only with those Monti had arranged in advance. The allegations from Glen Cove have Town Council Chairman James Feehan, R-9, "deeply concerned."
  
  Feehan, who was not present when the council voted last month to approve the resolution seeking Congress intercede, said, "In retrospect, we probably should have talked to more people on Long Island, but we weren't even aware their was such strong opposition and concern about the project. "But now I'm very concerned about the alleged incident between Mr. Monti and Glen Cove's mayor, and some of the other problems we are hearing about."
  
  The Stratford plan continues Back in Stratford, the Town Council's chosen developer is not giving up the battle any time soon, despite the Army's repeated warnings that it will not change its January decision to take control of the project and re-bid the 79-acre property this summer.

  It may be a long shot, but Monti, is determined to make a last stand as he tries to reverse what appears to be an iron-clad decision by the Army; in fact, he's coming to town later this week to find a local office.
  
  "We plan to be here for the next eight to 10 years and we want to open an office now to provide information to the public," Monti said.
  
  Monti is encouraged by the Town Council's resolution last month directing Mayor James R. Miron to meet with the state's congressional delegation, in an effort to urge Congress to transfer the land to Stratford, and to allocate $150 million for cleanup of the highly contaminated waterfront site. Few believe that will happen.
  
  "The chances are very minimal at best, but you never know and we are going to try," said Miron, who has written to members of the Connecticut delegation, seeking a meeting on the issue. U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, who has worked closely with the town on the project, said recently she believes the town should now work with the Army to ensure the plant is redeveloped.
  
  Miron also made it clear his office and the town will cooperate with the Army in its effort to re-bid the project, saying he's convinced that "whichever plan works will benefit the town." Monti is not deterred.
  
  "We are the perfect group for this project and are the chosen developer," Monti said.
  
  Despite top Army officials' repeated warnings that their position is non-negotiable, Monti is optimistic that the town and his management group will regain control of the site, which is considered key to the town's future economic development. That control was suddenly wrenched away by the Army three months ago, just as the council was about to name Monti-Posillico its new management team.
  
  Still, Feehan added, "I really believe the Army is not going to back down in its position anyway. I think the Army has control, will maintain control and has the support of the congressional delegation."
  
  But the Army's intractable position is not a good thing, the council chairman added, saying, "I believe the Army will fail, and that we would be much better off being able to control and direct the property's redevelopment."
  
  Town officials and business leaders, meanwhile, have fired a new round of charges over the project, contending the Army withheld vital information about the level of "extreme contamination" at the Stratford site.
  
  But Army and DEP officials strongly deny that, citing the Army's submission two years ago of voluminous reports detailing the site's industrial toxins, which include asbestos, PCBs, lead and solvents.
  
  The next step
  
  Town Council Majority Leader Michael Henrick, R-10, said he still supports Team Stratford and Monti Posillico, and doesn't trust the Army will ever complete the project.
  
  "If Monti-Posillico had been brought in seven years ago, the project would be now reaching its final stages," Henrick said. "I don't see" seeking congressional help "as that much of a on

  "I don't see" seeking congressional help "as that much of a long shot as some people believe. Nobody is going to come in to spend $150 million on the cleanup, and the Army is looking for the cheapest and easiest way of getting out of this. But they should be held responsible for getting rid of the contamination they caused during all those years operating at the site."
  
  Top Army officials have not changed their position and say enlisting congressional help is a "desperate, last-ditch attempt" by the council and Team Stratford, which fears it will lose millions.
  
  "Team Stratford's new management group is clearly frustrated because they know how much the property is worth and they see millions of dollars falling through their pockets," said William Birney, acting deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Army.

  This appears to be a ploy by Glen Isle to counter local opposition to this project. I think the Mayor should break the contract with this developer on these grounds alone. The Mayor and the CDA should talk to a developer, such as the Rouse Company, who have a proven track record in seaside commerical development. The Rouse Company has built South St.Seaport, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and Baltimore's Harborplace. It is obvious that Glen Isle is only interested in making a quick buck and could give a hoot about what the residents of Glen Cove want. It's time to contact a responsible developer.

  Everyone would like to see more job's here on Long Island.Jobs for our young and talented residents, not just union workers.In fact the Glen Isle project offers nothing more the minimum wage opportunities once its finished.
  
  The sending of out of area union memebers to a Community Focused meeting was disruptive and ment to INTIMIDATE, in good old Glen Cove fashion.It was an insult to the Mayor and an insult to residents that want the best for their community.The City of Glen Cove is paying close to $300,000.00 to have these planning sessions to bring about a Master Plan! How dare Glen Isle, Mr.Monti and Mr.Pissilico and their agents waste our taxpayer money.They tried to turn it into a 3 ring circus, however all their shills were booed and snickered at, while the "people" were cheered!!
  
  This is our waterfront, and indeed every taxpayers waterfront as over 200 million dollers in federal, state and local tax dollers have gone into cleaning it up.While Glen Isle has not spent a dime, other then to promote their own agenda.

  These developers will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, after all they stand to gain millions if their fantasies come true. They know that the best defense is a good offense. Sending all those construction workers from all over the tri-state area on a Friday afternoon to an event that a) had nothing to do with union jobs and b) was designed as an informational exchange for residents only, was the kind of bullying and intimidation that these guys are becoming known for.
  The "former Glen Cover from Troy" who posted here mentioned that the Rouse developers have a proven track record. I wonder what work the Glen Isle developers have done that qualifies for them something this big. Could someone post some examples for us? I'd sure like to visit those places and talk

  it's not stupidity, it's definitely cupidity! they crafted this deal very carefully over many years and lined all their ducks up at the planning board and city council. sadly, those who are left on those boards WILL take the fall as voters are aware and outraged and will dump them at the voting booth. glen cove has been a hotbed of corruption for years and this is the most stunning example of it yet.
  At the same time as many residents are trying to let the City know we do not want this high-rise project on poisoned land, they are presenting a new plan to sell the City Stadium and the Baseball/Lacrosse fields for more new high-rise developments WITH NO PLAN AT ALL for the now 10,000 cars to be on the roads.

  Fellow Glen Covers.
  I had great hopes for a new building administration in Glen Cove and although I did not vote for mayor Suozzi I really did have great hopes for him and the future of Glen Cove.
  More recently I have realized that the appointments that the mayor has made (LEN BARON) and the infamous (LaBow) are two people who have no idea of what they are doing and are tearing our town apart. They are puppets for someone other then Mayor Suozzi and contaminating any progress that the mayor has tried to precede with.
  My personal feeling is that they are intentionally poisoning this administration by proving that they are completely incompetent, and dangerous to the future of glen Cove. They are making Mayor Suozzi look impotent on any positive impact we might have been on our way to achieving. The City is fiscally and internally (OUT OF CONTROL) one dept has no idea of what is going on next door.This City can not continue the way it is.

  I have just reviewed the contents of this blog, and it appears to be riddled with panic, hysteria, and nonsense. First, I cannot understand why anyone who resides in Glen Cove would not support this project, at this time. Glen Cove would benefit so much by instalation of a the facilities planned therein for city residents, and a destination point to attract others to come to Glen Cove and spend money. This is not a bad thing. Furthermore, I cannot understand how citizens of Glen Cove would want to preserve an industrial eyesore, as opposed to regaining the waterfront. Presently, I get a peek of the Sound at Pribles, Soundview, Morgan Park, and Crescent Beach. I would love to be able to have more than a peek, and enjoy a sprawling architecturally interesting plaza on the water. People, get over your hysteria, and devote your battles to more meaningful causes, such as curing cancer. I cannot believe, that people are worried about feces in the creek, when for years it was filled with toxins and chemicals were disbursed therein... Where were you then? Our city's public school system needs funding, yet none of you want to reach into your pockets and pay for it, but development projects will. Moreover, our property taxes are artificially low for Nassau, if we do not replace the industry with somthing, homeowners property taxes wil need to be increased to support our community. I mentioned our schools, because absent funding, you cannot blame teachers and administration for the poor test results in our schools. If the schools tests reach levels such as North Shore or Locust Valley, our home values will increase. However, we cannot even pay for road repair or park maintenance, because our home taxes do not covefr the cost of operating our city, and our city residents are discouraging business and development. Our city desperately needs these developments, and needs to evlove into a gold coast destination, so that we can improve all of our quality of life, and ease the expense. Our park facilities need refreshment, our schools need capital, our streets need paving... and our youth, seniors and middle agers would benefit from spending more time in scenic outdoor spaces, museums, cafes, bike.walking trails, etc. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING ? Their is no benefit to our qulaity of life, real estate value, etc., in opposing this.
