WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL CHRONICLE-EXAMINER. By John F. Bailey. March 3, 2003: After approving a byzantine set of zoning and urban renewal amendents to make the Cappelli-Bland Hotel Project feasible, the Common Council tonight amended a resolution setting the Cappelli-Bland Hotel project scoping session to run from March 13 to April 9, (instead of March 13-to 17, as the Mayor called for), against the wishes of Mayor Delfino.
Mayor Delfino declared the move "strictly political." Rita Malmud introduced the amendment, expressing her concern that the people of White Plains be allowed enough time for the scoping session. No residents appeared at tonight's hearing on the Cappelli Bland Hotel zoning and urban renewal plan amendments.
Robert Greer said there were a lot of issues and thought the council was simply being prudent. Benjamin Boykin, too, agreed that the council wanted to be thorough, though he himself had received no calls from anyone protesting the project. The additional three weeks of time for scoping (the process of determining issues to be addressed in an environmental review) delays the project one month, said Susan Habel, Commissioner of Planning, who said the earliest the Council could now have a final vote on the project was September. It had been planned for August.
The Common Council approved the Department of Public Safety request to hire a Special Intelligence Expert to analyze threats and intelligence information received by the city and to identify concerns the Department should be considering in the future to grow and adapt to new threats and security needs.
The Council also approved spending $800,000 to ready Liberty Park in Silver Lake for use by this summer, and approved expenditures of $5.5 to $5.9 Million for plans for a double deck parking structure behind the Rader's--Dunkin Donuts trip on Mamaroneck Avenue. The cost would be bonded for twenty years at 4-3/4%, and is expected to begin to pay back in 15 years at which time the Parking Authority will have suffered a net loss of $130,000.
