Subject: Petition on 900 King Street
Hi Alex,
Could you please forward the attached petition to the planning board in advance of this week’s
meeting on 900 King Street to help them understand why so many people are opposed to this
project as currently proposed?

Vote "No" on 900 King Street
Concerned Rye Brook Residents started this petition to Rye Brook Mayor and
Board of Trustees
The owner of 900 King Street has submitted a site plan application to demolish the
existing office building and construct a massive senior housing facility. We urge you to
vote “No” to the site plan application and resolution for the following reasons.
1. The designs and floorplan layouts of the assisted living and memory care
facility follow an outdated institutional model that has been associated
with health and safety issues in volumes of research studies. A facility of
this type would not be suitable for the residents of Rye Brook and
surrounding communities.
2. The size and density of the project are too big for the location. To avoid
the zoning limits on dwelling units per acre, the site plans omit
residential features that have been shown to provide significant health,
safety, and quality-of-life benefits in extensive evidence-based research
studies.
3. There are too many open questions and concerns about community
impacts, including noise, traffic, and air quality during construction, as
well as other potential impacts after the facility is built including the
spread of infectious diseases and the effects on the community if the
facility is closed due to a business failure or regulatory action.
4. There are too many risks and uncertainties related to the financial impact
of the project, especially: (a) the amount of tax revenue that will result
from this project if the owner is allowed to make a payment in lieu of
taxes, and (b) the sustainability of the tax revenue from an adult care
facility of the type that legislators are seeking to reform.
5. Rye Brook deserves a more modern facility -- one that will be more
consistent with the character of the community and one that will provide
more adequate safeguards for the community, as well as better safety,
quality-of-life and quality-of-care outcomes for future occupants and a
more sustainable and reliable tax base for the village and school
district.
Please protect our seniors and preserve our community. Do not let this project move
forward as currently proposed.

Additional Comments
Louise Carravone
Just about everyone who lives in The Arbors believes the new building project will be a very big
disruptive mess for our community for a very, very long time.
As we all know, the construction will a lot of noise, traffic and air pollution.
What happens to the deer, rabbits, turtles, etc. that live around the property?
With the high taxes we pay, I don’t think it’s fair we have to deal with such a huge undertaking
for many years to come.
Idea!!! What about giving 900 King St. building a face lift and renting out to another business?
Susan Eylward
I’m concerned about traffic from the massive project.
Robert Dweck
Not an appropriate development for this location, and completely devoid of any consideration for
Arbors homeowners.
Caryn Greenspan·
There is no plan to ease the increased traffic on and off the Hutch and up and down King Street.
Massive safety issue with traffic backing up onto the Parkway. It’s adding unacceptable pollution
and noise levels directly next door to the MS/HS.
Polly Stella Turner·
While I understand this site may need to be developed, this is far from what makes sense.
I hope for all of us this gets voted against. Nightmare in the making.
Debra Penan·
I don’t want added traffic or pollution in rye Brook.
Jaclyn Stahl·
This will lead to too much congestion on an already busy street.
Marilyn Tokayer·
I do not want congestion on King St.
Yan Miao·
Absolutely no!!!
Deborah Zboyan·
I am a homeowner at the Arbors. This project will disrupt life in the community. The construction
alone includes blasting for underground garage which could cause massive damage to
buildings, homes and the school. Also traffic would be also impacted, considering the nearby
firehouse, what is they cannot get down King Street to an emergency.
Laura Fasciani·
My son attends school on King Street, we live nearby and the traffic and noise is intense during
the day already. A new building is not sustainable.
