December 7 was not a public hearnng before the town board and did not. by law. require the Town of Smithtown to notify the Town of Huntington - However. the Smithtown Planning Board has adopted a policy that requires it to notify neighboring towns of public hearings that come before it DeRubeis said the letter was sent to the Huntungton town controller's office because it was listed as the contact office According to Section 264 of state law. municipalities must notify neighboring townships of public hearmgs before the town board if those townships are within 500 feet of a proposed development pro- ject Huntington is within 200 feet of the Pulash: Road site Smuthtow n Planning Board Chairman Robert Martin was visibly agitated by Stewart-Suchow's com- ments \Our town is the most coopera- tuve town in the county with filing notices.\ he told about 100 residents gathered for the hearing at the Eugene Cannataro Semor Center in Smithtown. But - Stewart-Suchow | insisted that Smuthtown does not operate in the \spint of cooperation between townships\ and that Huntungton Town is always informed late in the process She said she only learned about Wednesday night's public hearing from some Kings Park School District - parents. \The Town - of Huntington is row charged wath com- menting on a site plan it has never seen.\ she said In August, the Town of Snmuthiown was sued twice by Huntington residents and the Tow n of Huntington over its deci- ston to rezone a strip of land along Crooked Hill Road in Commuck for three \big box\ stores. a WalMart, a Home Depot and a Kohl's. The area. which bor- ders the Town of Huntington. was rezoned from light industrial and reviden- ual to commercial. Huntington residents have been a presence at public meetings at Smithtown Town Hall to lambaste the town board for making the irrevocable decision to allow the project on Crooked Hill Road to go forward to construct 377.000 square feet of stores. The onginal suit brought by the Town of - Huntungton - against - Smithtown demanded that the town be a part of the SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act) process. The other lawsuit. brought by a Dix Hills attomey on behalf of Huntington residents, charged that the Town of Huntington had not been notified by Smithtown officials of the change of zone application and sub- sequent public hearing. The Town of Smithtown won both suits, but lawyers for the Town of Huntington have said they are working on appeals. DeRube:s said that his office had noti- fred officials in the Town of Huntington on four separate occasions about the Crooked Hill Read application. \They are still making these statements, which are enturely misleading.\ he said. \I feel like this is something that they are carrying on unnecessarily. They were notified.\ EVERYONE A HAPPY & y NEW YEAR!

The proposal is for three retail buildings: 4.235 square feet,. 14.490 square feet. and 123.187 square feet. totaling 141.912 square feet of retail space. The Home Depot plan includes an 18.000 square foot garden center. Wednesday night's public hearing was purely informatuonal and no action was taken by the planning board. The applica- ton for the change of zone will now be presented to the Smithtown town board. The town board will then schedule a pub- lhc hearing. of which the Town of Huntington must be notified. If the Smithtown town board is to consider the ments of the project, it can request an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the change of zone. The board can also deny the application at the outset. PBA Continued from page A1 calculated based on their current salanes. Police officers who work the day shift - Leonard Bruen, Peter Hayes, James Glozek. Robert Ramonetti and Peter Howard - are guaranteed at least $7.700 a year in supplemental night pay. Sergeants who work the day shift - John Schneider and Thomas Schramm - are guaranteed at least $9,159 a year in sup- plemental night pay. the night shift to the day shift are guaran- teed no such minimum compensation. Their night shift pay would follow the above-outlined schedule. The village and PBA had disagreed aon what base salary day-shift officers might pay should be based, and how overume pay should be calculated when day-shift officers work more than four mght-shift hours. Under the last three decades® worth of contracts. - sixth-year police officers received an extra six or 12 days of straight-ume pay per year. over and ahove the actual days they work. The village averred that the night pay should be cal- culated on a sixth-year officer's base pay salary without that bonus: the PBA said that the bonus should be included in base pay. as it has been in prior contracts. The village also said that overtime. for which officers receive time-and-a- half pay. should be applied toward the minimum $7.700 mght shift pay that daytime officers are guaranteed. The PBA said that it should not. and that overutme should be pard separately from night differential. Sands decided resoundingly in favor of the PBA on both questions, often employing acerbic language. In an 10- page written opimon dated November 22 Sands stated. \PBA opposes {[the vil- lage's]} contention as the self-indulgent and wasteful agenda of a particular Village Trustee who is unhappy that Northport's police personnel earn more New hires and officers switching from Continued on page All Legal notices LEGAL NOTICE Offices, Purchasing KINDERGARTEN Department, _ 158 - Laure!
