WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. December 8, 2014:
The Rhodes, the “Truth Police,” are sending the Mayor and Common Council a series of mailings in a Last Stand to convince the city they have standing to deny a Special Permit to the French American School. Here is the first in a series:
Dear Mayor and Common Council,
When FASNY first appeared on the scene almost 4 years ago a few of you were mentioning in public. . .”that we cannot deny a Special Permit to a school”. Years later at the conclusion of the SEQR Findings meeting last December the Mayor was stating that the Common Council is “bound by the law”.
Now we have all learned that the FASNY “regional private school campus” is not eligible for a Special Permit according to WP law “Section 5.2 List of Use Regulations for District: R1-30”. What would be eligible for a Special Permit are one family dwellings, churches or other places of worship and public schools. . .also private elementary or private secondary schools would be eligible. . .however not both together. . .and certainly not a “regional private campus that combines nursery, elementary, middle and secondary schools”.
And even eligible uses, such as public schools, would have to be in compliance with WP law “Special Permit Use 6.5.1” which says projects have to be in harmony with the areas they are located in. . .and FASNY’s massive Traffic, 10-Year Construction, Water Issues, Risks to School Children, Seniors and other Citizens, Fire Safety Risks and decrease in Property Values are certainly not in harmony with our residential neighborhood.
Now that we all have learned the WP laws. . .doesn’t the Mayor stating that the Council has to follow the “Rule of Law”. . .mean you are all bound by the laws that currently exist in White Plains?
We report. . .you decide. Your Truth Police, Team Rhodes
Marie and Ron Rhodes
