TOWN OF SMITHTOWN
Planning Board Meeting
7/16/08

From what seem like a few simple hearings on a warm evening turned into the very unexpected. A hearing on property to be a small subdivision... Hild Plat... was disclosed to be that of the tax assessor Greg Hild and neighbors turned out with concerns -
(1) it was on a very environmentally sensitive land (2) the request was for an LAR ( land area ratio) that was larger than normal for the size of the desired house.
This is to be the neighbor of the house on Kohr Road in Kings Park that has the 50% floor ration built on tight property that Greg Hild applied for previously. Still to go before the BZA for variances for steep slopes on the property.
NEXT was a couple that provided yet another story of a homeowner that was misled by Town Department Officials, including the Town Attorney. All about an easement but more egregious in nature than one would find acceptable.
Traces of a law suit underlying this tale of woe.
