First sign of it is activity at Villa Barone construction site.
But this is not, what we expected.
According to Notice of Violation issued by Building Department on October 3, 2007:

Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or !!


Villa Barone was ordered to remove constructed waterfall and water lines as well as to backfill chamber in the retaining wall. Until this time none has been done.
Instead another amended site plan is filed with Planning Board to approve what was illegally built.

Continuation:

During my conversation with Mr. Folchetti, he advised me to contact Anthony Mole.

But, Mr. Mole was in the firm Curtiss, Leibell & Shilling.

 Mr. Shilling represents the Creccos (DBA Villa Barone). This is a conflict!
Same time:
ZBA Decision & Order which includes Stipulation of Settlement specifically provides:

“Applicant agrees to complete only the construction detailed on an initialed Site Plan Full Layout as modified herein.
A copy of Site Plan Full Layout has been initialed this date by the parties, and applicant, its successors and/or assigns will not conduct any other development of the applicant’s property for five years from the date of this agreement.”

My opinion:
Water District #8 barely delivers acceptable service now.

Continuation:

April 17 preparation for construction on east side of Villa Barone parking lot (installing wood fence to screen construction)

April18 -    May 9 construction in progress (excavating …, earth moving…, footing forms and reinforcing rods installation)

May 7 construction in progress during 2008 Shop Putnam Expo  

May 12 in the morning I have applied to review files regarding construction in progress  (immediately excavator has been removed)

This construction is located between parcel #75.16-1-17 Villa Barone Hilltop Manor
And #75.16-1-16 Hilltop Manor Realty Corp, D.B.A. Cliffside Property Management

May 16 response  from Michael Carnazza,  Building Department to my F.O.I.L. request:

After reviewing the files for the above-mentioned property. I have no correspondence as requested in the above mentioned F.O.I.L. request as there are no specifications and/or details for a structure between tax parcel 75.16-1-16 and tax parcel 75.16-1-17.

Villa Barone hasn’t corrected a previous violation yet .

New violation place:

White truck as curtain.

What Mr. Carr, and Mr. & Mrs. Monaco need to do is to follow the commonly accepted rules and procedures for obtaining a variance in our town.  Just have Councilman Ravallo hand deliver a letter stating the true intent of the Town Board at the time  the ordinance was crafted.  Oh,.. and have Kelly Primavera and some other former councilman sign off.  You can probably reach Mr. Pozzi at Dave Furfaro's place.  Surely, the final height of the fence falls under the and/or exemption that worked for Mr Leibell with his senior housing.

If, for some strange reason, that doesn't do the trick, point to the Massaro house out there on the lake.  How did that one happen without any DEP or DEC permits ?

Mr. Fraser, I sympathize, I really do.  I know that you're just trying to hold the line.  But please don't pretend that all of the nonsense ended in the 70's.  Any and all residents that have been denied permits or have been cited for violations can (and should) be allowed to reference the absolute hypocrisies of past board rulings.

And folks, when you finally do re-apply for those permits, make sure to tell Ms. Moore  that you'd like to pay the application fee in six installments.
