Demand a Safe Plan Be Created for Plandome: Stop Developers from Putting our Safety At Risk.
Put an End to Developers Controlling Plandome
Demand that Your Planning Board Represent Your Best Interests
Our village has a unique historical character.
Do we want to make it a village of new subdivisions that ignore our safety - and the safety of our familes?
At the May 8, 2017 Village Hall Meeting, members of our community voiced their opposition to the planned development at 1020 Plandome Road, (the former Kenney Property). The only attendees who were in favor of the planned development were the developers themselves. A three home development at 1020 Plandome Road had been approved many years ago and the developers wanted to make significant changes, including adding a 4th home and one common roadway at the worst blind spot on Plandome Road!
We are not fundamentally opposed to development - we are opposed to thoughtless and reckless, poorly planned development that puts ourselves and our families at risk.
The danger is created by the increased traffic pouring out on to Plandome Road at a blind spot on an already-busy section of Plandome Road. Adding a subdivision of homes in a high-density plan adds not only the cars of the homeowners, it adds the garbage trucks, delivery trucks, cars of visitors, etc. It increases the risk of an accident occurring as motorists get impatient waiting for traffic to subside. Moreover, increased traffic will be unavoidable on cut-through streets as Plandome Road will inevitably be blocked by both construction vehicles and an increase in cars and trucks from new residents - all pouring out on to Plandome Road at the WORST blind spot on the road.
We have the chance to demand the developers create a safe plan for cars entering and exiting on to Plandome Road — safe for all drivers, pedestrians, bikers, children waiting for school busses. If the current plan is approved, it’s an accident waiting to happen, so before it does, let’s settle on a safe and reasonable plan for 1020 Plandome Road!
Furthermore, 4 homes were recently added on The Terrace. The 3 or 4 homes on 1020 Plandome Road would add a staggering 7 or 8 new homes within close proximity of each other—all pouring traffic onto Plandome Road. Approving the current plan for 1020 Plandome Road will set a dangerous precedent of overdevelopment and affect all Plandome residents and those surrounding neighborhoods as well.
Plandome has retained its character for over 100 years. Let's not be the ones who stood idly by and let the charm and especially the safety of our village disintegrate. Stand with us and say, "Not on our watch!”

Updates
June 20, 2018
The feedback I have received from residents confirms that our concerns regarding traffic safety at the proposed subdivision site remain widespread. I am currently reviewing the official planning board records to prepare for our next formal engagement with the village officials.

The momentum surrounding our request for a safe development plan demonstrates that this community remains united. This level of engagement confirms that prioritizing our village safety is a responsibility we all share.

I’ve been living here most of my life! It is a wonderful town and I do not want it overrun by developers were only there because of greed. Manhasset has to maintain our normal high standards or we will cease to be what defines us as a great place to live!
The site of the original driveway is much safer that the proposed driveway in a blind spot. This new location would also require significant landscape changes b/c the embankment would have to be leveled at that location and reinforced farther north. The developer hasn't addressed how he will reinforce the embankment farther north on Plandome Road.
There have been several recent traffic accidents on tho section of Plandome Road, including at the entrances to Willetts Lane and Shore Drive. Additional subdivision can only increase this risk serves no interest other than the developer's.
I am away & will not be able to attend 6/21 meeting but please know that I strongly object to a subdivision development on Plandome Road. We are already choking with oppressive traffic to the point that our village feels as congested as Times Square on the weekends. Let’s do our best to prevent this very bad idea from coming to fruition. Thanks for all of your efforts.
The developer should have done his research knowing that 3 is all that is alllwed. His lack of preparation is not a reason to change the character of our Village
Keep our neighborhood beautiful and safe
Maintain the historic beauty of our village and safety of our road.

Replacing two homes with 9 will add to congestion, school crowding and negatively impact the community Only the developers will benefit from these projects, at the expense of the community
