Barry,
Did you or anyone else reading attend this meeting? I was unable to get a sitter for my kids but I am very interested in what is being proposed for the poseidon site.
thanks!

The proposal is for a two story office building with no apartments units. It will be situated on the existing footprint (I assume on a new foundation rather than re-using the existing). The site is already above the flood plain elevation, so there is no need to elevate it.
The designer has obviously made an effort to make the building more palpable than the standard glass and brick office building. The rendering was more house like with brick on the first story and I believe a Hardy Board horizontal siding on the second floor (someone correct me if I'm wrong - I was in the back of the room).
I had no major issues with the design of the building as presented, but find it a little sad that the economic situation has changed so much over the years that the waterside uses that have existed there for years are no longer viable.
Unfortunately, there is a chicken or the egg phenomenon happening down there. Businesses fail and the properties deteriorate which in turn make the area less desirable to customers and putting more stress on the existing businesses. Add to that the fact that Ransom Beach - the reason for these businesses' existence in the first place- has been allowed to erode away and is no longer a beach, and you have formula for long term failure.

I indicated that I wanted to attend the meeting but the village posting was misleading - I assumed that both items, the Poseidon plan and the enlargement of the amusement park, were tabled until the 25th. Look at the posting on the village website and tell me if it is unclear.
Something needs to be done across from Ransom Beach - the Poseidon is an eyesore and there is no definitive word about the re-opening of Steve's Pier.

Thanks Barry.

Hi all, Not sure if this is posted in the right spot but I wanted to know if anyone else living in Bayville received an advice of non-renewal of home insurance from State Farm. The reason - coastal location! Never mind I live on Highland View. Appreciate any feedback

try New York Central Fire Insurance Company, I went through the same problem and found that this company writes policies in Bayville
Reply to this
It would probably be beneficial to an awful lot of Bayville residents to start a cooperative for obtaining insurance. I'm sure that if everyone who gets notified of their homeowners being raised to ridiculous levels (or terminated) went, as a group, looking for a new company to supply all of their insurance, Bayville residents would save a lot of money.

Just thought everyone would like to know that at 5 PM mass today Father Peter announced that they will be selling the 3 acres of land next to the church. I think a campaign should be started to have the Village buy the land and leave it as is.
Reply to this
Concerned,
I agree with you wholeheartedly. It should be bought and kept as open space, it's the only open space in the village, aside from the beaches.
Why don't you start the campaign? In my opinion, the campaign should come from the parishioners, as it is their church that stands to gain/lose financially from the sale.
Reply to this
Sue - Thanks for your referral to New York Central Fire Insurance. I'm going to contact them during the week. With respect to Barry's suggestion of some sort of cooperative effort to obtain insurance, I'm not sure how that would work - although we might be attractive as a large $amount of business to a single company, there definitely are benefits to spreading whatever risks living in Bayville poses among multiple insurance companies. Does anyone reading have experience in this area?
Thanks for both of your responses Claudia

Another indication of how Bayville is deteriorating.There just is no preservation in the mindset of the administration.They'll have to split the property to sell it since it is one tax lot.We don't need more housing do we?
Please post any info as what we might be able to to to thwart this possible development.
Just a note this has been going on since last year. They just wait us out. till it becomes old news then pounce.Nice, very nice

Tom -
I beg to differ regarding your idea that the "administration" doesn't want to preserve land. The fact remains that the land belongs to the church and they may do with it what they please. Rather than throw insults about the administration around, perhaps a more constructive move would be to call the Village and express your desire that the land be left alone. I'm sure that the Mayor would be receptive to anyone calling and voicing their opinion to her. I don't think we need to go and accuse the administration of waiting until news becomes old to "pounce". I'm sure the land would be expensive since it is the Catholic church who is selling it, but perhaps there is a way that it could be done by the Village. Let's not automatically assume what's going to be done. Let's express our opinions and maybe not through petitions either. Petitions to me are not effective enough. Call, write letters, etc.
BTW - There are many other reasons why Bayville is deteriorating and building houses has nothing to do with it.
Reply to this
I'm sorry if your offended. But after living here for 50 years I've seen decisions being made with out preservation in mind.Have a glass of water.And I've been to many ZBA meetings some almost slap stick .They pass everything unless there is large turnout of opposition.Until this blogs inception most people didn't even know about these things. So trust will always be an issue till I'm proven wrong. And if you don't think population has anything to do with Bayville's deterioration then we have nothing to debate.
Reply to this
Why would the land be expensive because the Catholic Church owns it? It will probably be sold to the best offer. It would be great if the Village could buy the land.

Returning to the classifieds/swap theme for a moment
Anyone chucking out their CRT computer monitor (big fat thing) having transitioned to LCD flat screen (pretty thin thing)? Having had two go bad on us recently, I'm looking for another (glutton for punishment) that would like a home rather than be left out on the street. Bigger the better. Call at 922-3615 and I'll collect, thanks.

To all concerned about the Church selling the land.
There is a Village meeting tomorrow Monday February 25th at 7:30 Vilage Hall. Everyone who has concerns about this should go and voice their opposition in person.
This is an administration with 6 trustees and one Mayor. The Trustees do not always know who calls and what they say since they are not full time trustees. Therefore, it is my opinion that the voices of oppostion should not only be laid in a phone call but to the entire board in person or through a letter asked to be read at the VH meeting and entireed into the record/minutes.
Also, any letter sent to VH should be adressed to Maria Alfano-Hardy as well as the Mayor. Maria is the Village clerk and letters received by her are supposed to be saved as a matter of record. It would not hurt to send it certified and to the trustees individually as well.
One last note, the voters of Nassau passed a land trust bond recently. It set aside monies to be spent on preserving the last vestiges of open space. Maybe our MAyor could call Souzzi and purchase the land through this trust. Meyers Farm in Woodbury was purchased through this trust and it was orchestrated ny Judy Jacobs who is a legislator that lives near the farm.
Mayor Siegel is our leader and maybe she can put this movement forward. It would be a win win for everyone, the church, the Mayor and the people.

At the village meeting last night the Mayor announced that a hearing will be held next Monday Evening, March 4th at 7:30 pm by the Town of Oyster Bay to discuss purchasing of the three acres of church land with funds that are available for this purpose. The Mayor suggested that people with concerns should attend the meeting.
Reply to this
Being a life time resident of Bayville I find it very sad that every piece of vacant land has been purchased and a home or many homes have been put in it's place. Bayville was a small seaside village in the 50's then it grew a little for summer residents who wanted to stay all year long. Now when you look at Bayville it is loosing it's charm, it is slowly trying to come back but there's a lot of eye-sore empty building lots, vacant buildings, empty store fronts, it's very sad that a cute little town has become so ugly. There are to many people, it's very crowded, people drive to fast on small roads, it's loosing all the charm that made people move here in the first place. Let's try to stop making it look like Queens or Brooklyn,not that I have anything against those places or I would have moved there.The last thing we need is another lot sold and 10 houses taking it's place. I have watched Bayville build West Harbor Drive,Oak Point West and East, Cat Hollow, and Merritt Lane. Let's work on preserving what we have and not ripping it down.

There is a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday, March 26) at Village Hall at 7:30 pm. Apparently, Omnipoint/Sprint would like to place yet MORE cell towers on the water tower. If you have any interest in keeping these towers from going up, please attend.
Reply to this
You mean we shouldn't attend if we are interested in getting better cell phone reception in Bayville? Mine seems to have gone from bad to worse. (Personally, I suspect sabatoge of the existing antennas).
Reply to this
The Mayor was quoted last year in the Leader as saying there is no more room up there and we will work to get some of the towers down
Reply to this
Thanks for the info about the Village Meeting. It figures, give the cell companies an inch and they want a mile.
Reply to this
If the meeting was merely for recertification why was it being held at a zoning board meeting. Zoning boards are merely a board who vote on changes in zoning or grant variances for permits that do not conform to existing building codes. So what type of variance is sprint/omni going for. When village hall was called they would not answer this question. If it moves like a snake and smells like a snake it probably is a snake.
Hey question out there? Does anyone know what Mayor is a Part time Mayor and the only village Mayor who puts in for a full pension in the state Pension Fund. Most put in a random Amount of days per quarter. NOT FULL TIME This Pension costs the village tax payers a lot of money. Any guesses????

edi, if you still have the big toy kitchen and don't want money for it or don't want to through it away. you could try seeing if either of the preschools want it or maybe oyster babies, if not the village church might want it for their thrift shop, St. Gertrude's rosary guild is having an attic sale some time this week they might take it.

Dear Concerned Citizen
Why is the Cell Tower meeting on 4/14 being held in Locust Valley? If this tower is bringing harm to the students of the Bayville elementary schools, I would think, you would want the meeting in Bayville. I don't think many LV residents will show up. The problem is not in their "backyard"

MAY I PLEASE POST THIS NOTE TO THE BAYVILLE PARK CIVIC ASSOC. ATT.MEMBERS..
I THINK WE SHOULD ALL TRY HARD TO ATTEND THE NEXT MEETING OF THE BPCA..WE HAVE OVER 220 HOMES IN OUR DEVELOPEMENT, AND ON THE MAR 27TH MEETING, ONLY 20 PEOPLE SHOWED UP...AT THIS MEETING MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE RESIGNING, AND THE PRESIDENT RESIGNED THAT NIGHT...IF WE LOSE THE BOARD ITS POSSIBLE THE VILLAGE WILL TAKE OVER, AND COSTLY FEES WILL GO ON OUR TAXES..ETC...TO LEARN MORE OF THE SITUATION, THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE IN 2 OR 3 WEEKS. WE SHOULD GET A LETTER IN MAIL, WITH TIME AND DATE, AND INFO.

I understand that medical offices are proposed for the Poseidon site, but were there any other options proposed? What about investing in our future and getting away from the ever increasing Lipa hold with wind power? Being a seaside community with almost endless free wind, it seems that it might be an excellent way to begin to preserve our environment and become a model for other communities. I have no idea how many windmills would be necessary to power our village and the cost involved but maybe someone here does.....anyone???

Dear Cathy,
The cell tower meetings are being held at the Locust Valley Library because there is a hugh room downstairs that can accomadate many more people, there really is'nt enough room at the Bayville Library or they would have been held there. Just because you live in Bayville does not mean you can't use the Locust Valley Library your card works at both. If you have never been there stop by and visit it's a beautiful library. Hope you can make it to the meeting on April 14th.

There will be a genral meeting of the BAYVILLE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATON to elect new officers. The meeting is on May 6th at 7:00 PM in the comunity center. A flyer will be mailed out stating this shortly.
It is urgent that all home owners attend this meeting. All officers are resigning except the treasure. With out a board to run the association we will have to pay back the grant we recieved to have the drains put in and road fixed. This is about 4,000 dollars a family.
Again the meeting is on May 6th at 7:00 PM in the comunity center. Flyers will go out stating this shortly. Please attend this meeting and if you can run for a postion.

No matter what your political convictions are this is
eye opener.
What a thankless people we are!!!
Jay Leno on President Bush (Surprising)it's the Jay
Leno we don't often see....
As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor
have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is
about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.
The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came
across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe.
It must be true given the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans
are unhappy with the direction the country is headed
and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the
performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the
citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking,
"What are we so unhappy about?''
A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water
24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air
conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy
folks have a job?
D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery
store at any time and see more food in moments than
Darfur has seen in the last year?
E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and
trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean
without having to present identification papers as we
move through each state?
F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels
we would find along the way that can provide temporary
shelter?
G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with
varying cuisine from around the world is just not good
enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car,
emergency workers show up and provide services to help
all and even send a helicopter to take you to the
hospital.
I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of
Americans who own a home.
J..You may be upset with knowing that in the
unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained
firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch
equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you,
your family, and your belongings.
K.Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat
screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer
equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come
to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free
of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the
residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own
cell phones and computers.
M.. How about the complete religious, social and
political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of
everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Reply to this
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful,
spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the
world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its
citizens. They see us for what we are. The most
blessed people in the world who do nothing but
complain about what we don't have, and what we hate
about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we
live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us
into war and has no plan to get us out? The
president who has a measly 31 percent approval
rating? Is this the same president who guided the
nation in the dark days after 9/11?
The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out
of recession?
Could this be the same guy who has been called every
name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the
spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?
The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that
is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or
talk show?
Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy
you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see
all the good things and be glad?
Think about it...are you upset at the President
because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it
because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss
your sorry ungrateful behind every day.
Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and
Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many
cases may have died for your freedom. There is
currently no draft in this country. They didn't have
to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with
either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than
honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a
''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the
brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds
of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it
bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news.
Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts.
How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the
corner?
The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit
corporations. They offer what sells, and when
criticized, try to defend their actions by
'justifying' them in one way or another.
Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J.
Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his
wife, but if he did he would have done it this
way......Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York
Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start
being grateful for all we have as a country. There is
exponentially more good than bad. We are among the
most blessed people on Earth and should thank God
several times a day, or at least be thankful and
appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out

Barry,
Just a little local history that perhaps you are not familiar with. About 4 years ago, myself, Linda Caroli and Vicki Siegel were directors of a community group called CCSAP, Inc. (Concerned Citizens for Substance Abuse Prevention). Linda in particular worked dilligently to try and establish a BOB-like program here in Bayville. We met with TOB officials, local businesses, the 2nd Precinct and BOB officials. We were making progress when we hit a major wall: the POP police unit that works in connection with BOB got cutback by the county. Due to that cutback, we were unable to proceed any further.
Parents of children in Bayville and Locust Valley should know that the Oyster Bay BOB is open to TOB residents and all well behaved teenagers are welcome.

The Waterside Festival was a tremendous success this year thanks to numerous sponsors, volunteers, and of course Chamber of Commerce members and families who made it possible...I wanted to thank the community who seemed to really embrace the event and give it that local "feel" that didn't go unnoticed by the many attendees from other areas who commented on the warmth and cheerfulness of the festival...just wanted to say "THANKS BAYVILLE"...looking forward to next year's CLAM JAM already...

I was just curious if anyone knew who organized or approved the fireworks display last night on the East End of Town? I've come to expect them on the 4th of July, and make preparations for them, but when you're hit unexpectedly with a barrage at 9:00 on a Tuesday Night in October directly over your house, and you have a sleeping 1 year old and Dogs who flip out over such things, a little advanced warning and respect for others would be appreciated. I would have kept my kid up and extra half hour and saved myself a lot of agrivation.

I know everyone will call us nuts but about a half hour ago,9:30 PM, my wife and I were driving down West Harbor and an 6-8 pt Buck(full size deer) ran from the village side to the bay side across the road. Unbelievable! Where would that come from?

Many deer have been spotted in the area, they have been seen swimming across the sound by fishermen. They also come from eastern L.I.

I know the deer are considered an annoyance on the east end of Long Island but how beautiful is that.

It was awesome we just stopped in the middle of the road and watched in amazement. Funny thing ,is perched on a branch right off my deck thursday night was a Northern Saw-whet Owl.First time for that for us as well.

Concerning fireworks - professional fireworks require permits. I'm not sure which jurisdiction - Village, Town, County or state does the issuing.
So complaints about loudness would have to go to the agency that issued the permit.

Several weeks ago there were deer tracks on the bayside beach from about Madison Ave. to the Flowers oyster hatchery.
