Subject:Opposition to 900 King Street proposal
To the Rye Brook Village Board,
I share the concerns of many neighbors regarding the proposed re-development of the 900 King Street property.
Among them:
The developers have not given adequate consideration to the amount of added traffic on Arbor Drive. The very
nature of this project - housing and care for an older population - means that there will be many more vehicles
going in and out throughout the day, evening and night. There will be many more deliveries, visitors, and care
givers, in addition to residents own vehicles, on the street and at the intersection of Arbor Drive and King Street
at frequent intervals.This will add to congestion, traffic snarls and more dangerous streets for us all, adults and
children, including many kids going to and from school.
The current plan proposed a population that is too dense for this area and not in character with Rye Brook or the
Arbors. A project with a much smaller population would be appropriate and would maintain property values for
both existing and future residents of the area.
The proposed structure is much too tall and massive for this area. It is not in character with Rye Brook or the
Arbors.
A project with a much smaller profile, density and stature would be appropriate and would maintain property
values for both existing and future residents of the area.
The proposed project will create too much noise for this area in all phases - demolition, construction and after
completion. This is a quiet, peaceful, suburban area. We do not want added noise and activity in our midst. We
are already fighting noise pollution from the nearby airport. This alone should demonstrate to the board and the
developers that residents of the Arbors and Rye Brook are not in favor of the additional noise pollution this
project would bring to our community.
The developers have not properly considered the demands the proposed project will put on public utilities
including the fire department, water supply and pressure, and electrical supply and consistency. This
community is not able to stretch its current resources any further.
For these reasons I am strongly opposed to the current proposal for redevelopment of 900 King Street. Thank
for for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Nancy Raider
