Here's something more recent:

Elwood Residents Organize Against Proposed Condos - Northport, NY Patch

Quote:
The proposed 'Seasons at Elwood' development would place over 450 condos, with age-restricted ownership of 55+, on the 37-acre parcel. The land, which is currently zoned R-40 residential but has a variance for commercial use, would require a zone change to R-RM. The zone change application is currently under consideration with the Town Planning Board.

Oak Tree Dairy Housing Update - Northport, NY Patch

They have to be almost 40' high if they're an inch.

482 Condos Proposed at Oak Tree Dairy - Northport, NY Patch

Quote:
...estimated sale prices for the units would range from $435,000 to $500,000, with estimated taxes of $5000. However, due to affordable housing regulations, approximately 80 units would be priced at $322,000. Estimated maintenance charges would be approximately $300 per month.
Affordable?

That's never gonna work. They are NOT going to get that much out of seniors for those apartments. If they want to do senior housing "right" they need to ask Kate Murray how she does it in the Town of Hempstead ... 2 bedroom units for around $135K with a maintenance fee of $100 per month with on-site maintenance workers, a lifeguard-staffed pool, tennis courts, bocci ball, huge clubhouse, barbeques, etc. Who actually "pays" for most of this? The taxpayers of the Town of Hempstead! That's what seniors want. Not "faux affordable" in the $300s and certainly not paying that half a mil full price.

That same group is doing the same thing in Garden City on the old Doubleday property. Still can't believe it got through the zoning board.

Well they do get beautiful beaches, bagels and pizza, and they also get to live in the shadow of the worlds greatest city. That's got to be worth the cost all by itself.
