WHILE AFFLUENT Westchester towns await a federal monitor’s next report on a court-ordered affordable-housing plan,
some upper-crust communities
are already complaining about
mandated zoning changes.
Federal
monitor
James
Johnson finally gave his first nod
in a year to a new model zoning ordinance a few weeks ago, after rejecting the county’s first two housing plans.
His next report is expected to
criticize County Executive Robert
Ritzy W’chester towns rip fed housing plan
Astorino’s refusal to sign off on
previous housing legislation.
The county was forced to build
750 affordable units after being
sued by the Anti-Discrimination
Center for misappropriating federal funds earmarked for affordable
housing.
The settlement stipulates that
$51.6 million be spent on units to
be built in towns with little or no
black or Hispanic residents, such
as Scarsdale, Rye, Irving, Tarrytown, Bronxville and Yorktown.
But the targeted communities
say the ordinance is problematic,
especially considering the cost of
land.
“Land here costs $1.7 million
an acre,” said Scarsdale Village
Manager Alfred Gatta. “It would
be a great incentive to build affordable housing if the county gave us
$1.7 million. That would work.”
“Somebody who knew nothing
about northern Westchester created this plan,” said Yorktown Supervisor Susan Siegel. “You can’t
pop units in where you have no
public water, no sewers, no public
transportation.”
She said Yorktown is changing
its zoning to accommodate affordable homes in the future.
“The plan remains vague and
the communities are anxious,”
said Tarrytown Village Administrator Mike Blau. “We still don’t
know all the ins and outs and what
our obligations actually are.”
Towns that resist the plan may
lose federal community development block grants or other funding doled out by the county, said
Westchester legislator John Nonna of Pleasantville and Briarcliff
Manor, who serves on the Housing and Planning Committee overseeing the plan.
Siegel said the block grants are
a major revenue source for Yorktown, adding: “We don’t want to
jeopardize that money.”
“We don’t want to start out taking a hammer to anyone’s head,”
said Westchester County Board of
Legislators Chairman Ken Jenkins (D-Yonkers). “The last straw
would be eminent domain.”
Westchester must have both financing in place for 100 affordable units and 50 building permits
in place by Dec. 31, 2011.
