Reason to Rule Against Fasny #2: Compromising Emergency Response Times

WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. December 9, 2014:

Marie and Ron Rhoads, residents of Gedney Farms sent their second letter in a series to the Mayor and Common Council detailing issues that the neighborhood feels should weigh against approval of the French American School of New York:

Dear Mayor and the Common Council
As stated in the outside expert report of the FirePro consultants. . .our family, as well as nearby neighbors, will be personally impacted by increased Fire Response Times resulting from the Closure of Hathaway Lane. . .with some Seniors, like ourselves, also concerned about any delay in response times due to Ambulances being slowed down by the increased volume of FASNY Traffic from their cars and school buses.
 
When you are dealing with Emergency Response Times. . .there is no amount of mitigation that can be offered by the City Staff and FASNY that is acceptable. . .with the exception of leaving in place or improving our existing Response Times. . . which is a core expectation of ours with regard to City Services.
 
We like our current White Plains City Services. . .why would anyone on the Common Council want to reduce Emergency Response Times or other services that hurt the Health, Safety and Welfare of your residents. . .to satisfy an outside developer who is not offering any Public Benefits?
 
We report. . .you decide.                                                                                                                                                      Your Truth Police, Team Rhodes

THE LAST STAND: City Should Follow Its own Law and Deny FASNY Permit

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
