Public Hearing

May 25, 2010

Presentation By: Ralph Caruso

OCSD#1 Extension to Camp LaGuardia

·       County should not be in the business of land development.

·       County should not be trying to cease control of home rule by guaranteeing any developer anything that is a town or village authority and responsibility, such as zoning.

·       County should not be giving away 280 thousand gallons day of sewer capacity of OCSD#1, without conferring with the towns and villages that are the OCSD#1.

·       County should not be looking to extend the OCSD#1 under questionable circumstances and sewer capacity uncertainty.

·       When a contractor looks to purchase property it is a business venture, it is not the responsibility of the County to guarantee services and a profit most likely at the expense of the Orange County Taxpayer.

·       Although you may not be from southeastern Orange County, put yourself in the shoes of those that are, and ask yourself, how would I feel if I lived in southeastern Orange County?

·       Don’t be fooled again with this sewer district extension as you were with the OCSD#1 AFEIS voted on this year 2010
