Proposed Building Will Destroy Neighborhoods

Six Story Building Might Loom Over Port North

As long time resident, former Trustee, and former Board of Appeals member of Port Washington North, I read with dismay and dread of the proposed plans to build a 65 foot tall building to loom over the Soundview and Mill Pond Acres Homes. This 65 foot behemoth will aesthetically turn our residential
neighborhoods into a commercial zone. Further, it will cause the market value of nearby and all Village homes the drastically crash.

It is my suggestion that Village residents form a committee to oppose the rezoning of the subject property to allow any structure exceeding the present legal 25 feet. I would also suggest that this committee explore the funding of legal action against the Village and the developer to halt this disfigurement of our Village and damage to its residents.
