Dear Village Board-
My name is Deb Nanus and I am a long time resident of the Arbors and Rye Brook. I have been at 130 Brush Hollow
Crescent since 10/94 and prior to that I lived on Winthrop Drive (‘86-‘94). I attended last month’s ZOOM meeting and
have some concerns coming out of that discussion.
While I appreciate that you are not allowing the construction start time to be moved earlier, and asking the applicant to
review the crosswalk on Arbor Drive as currently proposed, there are other matters of concern.
As the President of the AHOA, Dan Barnett, mentioned in his comments at that meeting, I do believe that COVID-19
should cause us all to take pause and view this as a change of circumstances and require a new EIS be prepared. The
fact that the population who would reside in this development would be a group considered by the CDC and other
physicians among the most vulnerable, potentially straining our EMS, Fire, Police and other services, this project may
well be beyond what was originally forecast.
The size/density of the project concerns me greatly, especially since it has not been reduced to the levels the VPB
strongly recommended. From Day One of this project I have had strong concerns of what the access to/from King Street
from Arbor Drive will be like, especially during peak rush hours in the morning and evening. Without the development,
it is already sometimes difficult to get out of the community with traffic backing up on King Street in both directions. I
ask you to think long and hard before you cast your final vote to move forward with this project. As you know, the
size/density of this project is unlike anything else in this community and would require amending two local laws
pertaining to the PUD.
While this is troubling to me as an Arbors resident, I also have great reservations regarding the impact on our Entire
VILLAGE and
community.
I appreciate all that you do for Rye Brook, and hope that you do what’s right for all the residents, and weigh heavily the
financial gains against the possible negative impacts on the quality of life for all Rye Brook families.
Sincerely,
Deb Nanus
