Several residents of North Bellmoreasked for and received an adjourn-ment last week during a hearing at

Hempstead Town’s zoning Board ofAppeals concerning a North ShoreFarms supermarket that might come intothe community. The residents want toconduct a new traffic study to fortify anearlier town traffic policy restrictingsuch supermarkets.

That policy restricts buildings of over9,300 square feet anywhere in the townfrom being zoned for supermarket useunder specific conditions if they are sit-uated on two-lane roads.

North Shore Farms, which own threeother stores in Glen Cove, Great Neckand Port Washington, wants to build asupermarket at the old Rite-Aid storesite at 2820 Jerusalem Avenue, at thecorner of Pea Pond Road, and asksfor a special use permit for a proposedsupermarket greater than 9,300 squarefeet in an existing building whosevehicular access is limited to one ormore two- lane roadways.

An attempt was made in 2003 to builda Western Beef at the location, but was

roundly rejected by the neighborhood.That year the town, after a contentious

meeting of more than 400 NorthBellmore residents in the Mepham audi-torium, enacted a six-month moritoriumto study traffic patterns on all two-lane

roadways in the

town in relation to large-size buildingszoned for business.

Town policy enforceable?After a lengthy study of land used for

banks, convenience stores, supermar-kets, gas stations, et.al. on 12 two-lane

roadways throughout the town; and theirtraffic signals, stop signs, on-street park-ing, traffic volume counts and accidentcounts during all hours, the town ruledWestern Beef could not build a super-market at that location.

Family to Family Service Since 1914

Patricia Faulkner, a North Bellmoreresident in opposition, told BellmoreLife a group in the commuity is inter-viewing with attorneys to represent it atthe February 6 zoning board hearing.

She said the attorney would move for-ward in hiring traffic experts to counternew studies North Shore Farms has con-conducted in the community regardingthe use of the former Rite-Aid building.

She said that, though the town createdrestrictions for putting supermarkets inbuildings of 9,300 square feet and morein two-lane roads, it was imperative thegroup develop a new study to helpcounter the supermarket’s new study –and to bolster the town’s policy.

Burden of proofAsked by this newspaper if the burden

of proof falls on North Shore Farms toprove it can adquately control traffic inthe area over town restrictions, BillBonesso of the law firm Forchelli CurtoDegan Schwartz Mineo and TerranaLLP of Uniondale, attorneys for NorthShore Farms, said the “burden of proofis indeed” on the supermarket.

He said the business is requesting aspecial use permit instead of a variance.“The town didn’t impose a prohibitionon supermarket use,” he said, “so thereare still permitted uses for this space asa supermarket.”

He maintained that the businessmust go to the zoning Board ofAppeals and apply for the special usepermit because it believes it can meetthe criteria put forth and not createproblems within the community.

He said a study conducted at the site

looked at peak traffictimes to determine howmany parking spaceswould be needed (84-86), and trip generation –as examples of its stud-ies.

“This is a familyowned hands-on businessthat would not go into aneighborhood unless itbelieved there would beadequate parking as ameans to conrol traffic,and access to the store,”he said.

But Patricia Kaplantakes exception to thesestudies. “Up to 100 kidswere moved to the SawMill Road School afterJacob Gunther closed, sothere is much more traffic in the areafrom parents coming to drop off andpick up their children twice a day,” sheremarked.

Living on Roger Road, she added thatduring Little League season she andother residents on the block can’t evenpark on their own streets because ofLittle League parents parking on thestreet. “We need to place cones in frontof our houses” to keep others from park-ing there, she said.

She believes the community is ade-quately covered by several food storesin the area, and needs no more. “Wehave Stop & Shop, we have the farmstand diagonal to the vacant building,we have Ivarone’s in Wantagh and wehave King Kullen in both Bellmore andWantagh Avenue,” she said.

But Mr. Bonesso said that, while theopposition contends the supermarketwould generate more traffic than it couldhandle, “we say it won’t.”

Good use of site“From an analyses of trip generation

and traffic patterns during the week andweekends at other stores, we believethere are no undue parking conditions”being imposed on the community, Mr.Bonesso said.

“This is a good use of the site becauseit was once an A&P supermarket.”

Ms. Kaplan said that she and others inthe community have some 400 signa-tures against the supermarket cominginto the space.

She said she and others went door-to-door within the community, and set up atable at Cherrywood Shopping Centeron the corner of Jerusalem Avenue andWantagh Avenue.

“There were many who signed thepetition against the supermarket becausethey use Jerusalem Avenue,” she said,and they think it would greatly increasetraffic on the road.

Responses on Bellmore Life’s face-book page to a new supermarketappeared favorable.

Marcella Diana Tompkins said “I live

in North Bellmore and am tired of see-ing a vacant store for over 10 years. Ahigh-end supermarket will bring a nicevariety to that immediate area, and thetraffic will be about the same as anyother retail store that goes there.”

Dennis N. Pekoff said, “Why not? Itwas a supermarket years ago.”

Patricia Goetz said she lives a fewblocks away and is in favor of the super-market. “That used to be an A&P andnever an issue with traffic,” she said.

Carole Holland Friedman said it“sounds like it would be a great addi-tion to our neighborhood. I miss theold A&P.”

Both the North Bellmore CivicAssociation and the Forest CityCommunity Association will take noposition on the supermarket.

Al Ortenzi, president of the ForestCity association, said a meeting will beheld at the Forest City Park Clubhouse,3099 Morgan Drive, on Monday,February 4, at 7:30 p.m. before the nextzoning Board of Appeals meetingWednesday, February 6. North ShoreFarms attorney Bill Bonesso will beguest speaker.

For information on the meeting callMr. Ortenzi at 350-2936.

Do you have faith in America’s future?

The second inauguration of President Barack Obama hadthe theme “faith in America’s future,” which is somethingboth parties are working toward. The question is, do we havethat faith? When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” America wasin the throes of a depression. And yet, what he said was notfoolish. America did manage to pull itself up by pullingtogether.

How can we as individuals show our faith in America’sfuture?

We can spend time in prayer together in church or temple.We can help in the work of our religious organizations bygiving of our resources and of ourselves. Remember howformer President George H.W. Bush noticed from the air the“thousand points of light” across America that provide hopeto those who need it?

We can work together to bolster our schools because thenext generation is our future. Did you know over half thevoters in the last election were over 50? The next generationwill be providing for them in their old age.

We can patronize local businesses and volunteer for anddonate to social organizations. The national economy relieson small business. Our communities from the bridges to thebeaches have all been affected by superstorm Sandy. Manypeople are still living on their second floors or are not evenback in their homes yet. Helping our neighbors through theserough times is also helping ourselves.

We can support our troops through local veterans associa-tions.

Remember the United States of America is not run byWashington. Washington is run by us.

To Bellmore Life:My name is Tim Dahlen. I grew up in

Merrick and I am a graduate of CalhounHigh School class of 1966 and wouldlike to engage your help in collectingpictures and remembrances of those whowere lost in Vietnam so many years ago.

As I hope you are aware, there is aproject underway to construct theVietnam War Memorial in WashingtonD.C. near the Wall. One of the aims ofthe Memorial Committee is to not onlyidentify all those who fought in Vietnambut, more importantly, to put faces withthe names inscribed at the Wall.

Central High School District 7, whichencompasses both the Merricks and theBellmores, has 25 names collectivelyinscribed on the Wall. Of these names,there are only two with pictures, Sgt.Frederick John Burns, Calhoun; and SP4Michael Carmello Mannina Bellmore,most likely Mepham.

There are 23 faceless warriors forwhom we must find pictures.Additionally, if anyone having pictureswould like to provide a remembrancethat, too, will be posted with the picture.

I am sure that with the list we will beable to complete one more chapter in ourobligation to these fallen warriors.

Nassau County broke ground recent-ly on a new state-of-the-art sports andrecreation center in Eisenhower Parkthat will also serve as home to at leasttwo youth hockey organizations,including the Long Island GullsAmateur Hockey Association and theNew York Junior Bobcats.

Ferraro Brothers Ice Center atTwin Rinks, to be built without tax-payer dollars, is expected to createnearly 20 new jobs and generate anestimated $35 million in economicbenefit for the local economy over thefirst five years of operation.

County Executive Edward P.Mangano said at the groundbreakingthat “This new state-of-the-art sportsand recreation center is an excitingcomponent of the Hub that will createjobs, complement Nassau’s sports-entertainment tourism plan and pro-vide youth athletes access to worldclass skating facilities.”

County Executive Mangano wasunable to persuade county residentslast year to vote yes on a referendumto keep the New York Islanders onLong Island by building a new sportsstadium. The vote cost the Island itssports team, he said, because ownerCharles Wang moved the Islanders toBrooklyn’s Barclay Center as its newhome base.

The county selected Twin Rinks atEisenhower, LLC, to construct the $15million privately financed facility

after issuing a Request-for-Proposalsin June 2012. Twin Rinks atEisenhower, LLC comprises formerNational Hockey League players Chrisand Peter Ferraro of Ferraro BrothersHockey, as well as Joel Friedman ofClearview Capital Management, LLCand Ronald Friedman ofSilvermanAcampora, LLP.

Their consultant, Richard “BigDaddy” Salgado of Coastal Advisors,was also on hand for the ground break-ing of the facility.

Twin Rinks at Eisenhower Park willinclude Ferraro Brothers Ice Center,an 85,000-square-foot world-classfacility with two NHL regulation-

sized rinks and one outdoor recre-ational hockey rink that will host skat-ing lessons, youth player developmentprograms, tournaments, and hockeyteams for all ages and skill levels.

The facility will also include onefull-size turf field with soccer andlacrosse lines, a sport court with fourNBA/NCAA regulation basketballcourts, a handball wall and arollerblade and stroller path connect-ing the complex with the pre-existingpaths that surround the Nassau CountyAquatic Center.

“It is our passion to support LongIsland families so that they will nolonger have to be torn apart or have

their family life disrupted just becausea child excels in hockey and wants totry to make it to the NHL,” said ChrisFerraro. “This facility will enable usto create a hockey hot bed right hereon Long Island.”

Funded by Twin Rinks atEisenhower, LLC, the center will bethe home of at least two youth hockeyorganizations, including the LongIsland Gulls Amateur HockeyAssociation and the New York JuniorBobcats. It will also play host to in-house figure skating programs, learn-to-skate programs, a recreationalyouth hockey league and adult hockeyleagues.

Residents call for at-large school board electionsBellmore Life has learned that some North

Bellmore residents are circulating a petitionthat calls for the North Bellmore SchoolDistrict to adopt at-large candidacies for itsschool board members when filling vacantpositions.

North Bellmore resident Jo-Ann Erhardstarted the petition to collect 5% of signa-tures of residents who voted in the lastelection – as required by New York Statelaw – and present them to the district clerk,to request at-large elections for schoolboard members be put on the ballot for a

vote. She told this newspaper that the“community should be able to vote on allcandidates equally, and the top candi-date(s) should win.”

She explained that anyone who choosesto run in an open seat should not have tochoose who they have to run against, onlythat they want to run to help better theschool community.

At-large candidacies are more democrat-ic, she said, and should be about the bestcandidates winning, “not about dividingthe community by pitting one neighbor

against another.”Sina Braverman told this newspaper that

recent board elections resulted in candi-dates being elected who did not necessari-ly have the most votes. For example, GraceCramsie won her seat while challengerPeter Mayo came in second. “Peter hadmore votes than Nina Lanci did in her winagainst Joe Parrone for another seat,” Ms.Braverman said.

At-large elections seat those with themost votes when several vacant seats areopen. “If there are three seats available, and

five candidates, the three getting the mostvotes get the three vacant seats,” she main-tained.

Ms. Braverman dismissed criticism thatsuch elections-at-large could place candidateswith special interest groups supporting theminto positions of influencing school board pol-icy decisions. “That happens to a degreenow,” she said, where certain candidates getfriends and close associates to vote for them.
