*RENDERING
This community will receive IDA assistance and a PILOT (“Payment in Lieu of Taxes”) agreement or other tax abatements.
This is false. Unlike rental apartment projects, condominiums are not eligible for IDA financing and we are not seeking any tax abatements or subsidies for this project.
This community will adversely affect traffic conditions on Old Northport Road.
This is false. This community will have entrances from Old Northport Road and Indian Head Road, which will distribute traffic in two different directions without overburdening either road, or local roads such as Old Indian Head Road and Linden Avenue. A comprehensive traffic study has been completed, and it demonstrates that there will be no significant degradation of existing levels of service on Old Northport Road or any surrounding streets. In addition, real time observations of existing Beechwood communities show no significant impacts on existing levels of service on surrounding streets.
This community will add traffic to Linden Avenue.
This is false. The site plan does not provide for any roadway or driveway connections to Linden Avenue, which will remain a dead-end street. The entrances and exits to the new community will be from Old Northport Road and Indian Head Road.
This community will be rental housing.
This is false. We are proposing a 100% for-sale homeowner condominium community. There is no proposed rental housing. All homes will be market rate housing, except for 29 affordable units required to be provided by NYS legislation known as the Long Island Workforce Housing Act.
This community will be senior (55+) housing.
This is false. We are proposing a non-age-restricted condominium community. The community will be available to residents of all ages and will provide opportunities for seniors, young couples and individuals and those in between to remain in Kings Park and Smithtown. However, experience has shown that these types of development mostly attract active adults and empty nesters.
This community will include a retail or commercial component.
This is false. The proposed community is comprised solely of “for-sale” residences. The application and proposed zoning do not call for or permit any retail or commercial uses.
This community will negatively impact the Kings Park Unique Area.
This is false. The proposed community will be fenced and set back from the boundary lines of the Kings Park Unique Area and no construction activities will occur on the park property. In addition, 12+ acres of naturally wooded areas will be preserved and mapped to provide a wildlife corridor connection to the adjacent preserved areas.
This community will create light pollution.
This is false. The proposed community will be “dark-sky compliant” in full compliance with Town of Smithtown Code and applicable building regulations. This means, among other things, outdoor light fixtures will be shielded, will point downward and will be no brighter than necessary.
