Dear Mayor Rosenberg and Members of the Board of Trustees:
I am a resident of The Arbors and I am writing to express my concerns over the proposed
redevelopment of 900 King St. My concerns are the following:
1. Impact of construction traffic. One of the most attractive aspects of Rye Brook and The
Arbors is the peace and quiet, which I enjoy every single day. The constant construction noise,
traffic, and debris in NYC were reasons I moved to Westchester in the first place.
2. Zoning. There are reasons why the current site is zoned for 106 units. Why should we be
entertaining allowing 250+ units there?
3. Impact to schools, property taxes, and property values. Rye Brook is currently a very
appealing place that families desire to live in. Why risk that status now? What exactly is broken
that requires a massive, invasive new development that violates current zoning rules?
Finally, I urge you to consider who will be the beneficiaries of this project? Certainly the
developer will be. But will the current residents, many of whom have lived here for many years
and reliably paid their taxes?
