Wantagh dot LI Survey Results for 2008 |
|

|
|
|
2008 November: What can Wantagh dot LI do to further help the community? |
|
|
|
Rather than asking you to choose from a list of pre-defined responses, this month's survey invited you to answer in your own words. Most of your suggestions involved adding business listings, and wherever we could these requests were accommodated. For example, a few of you asked us to add private postal services, and this was done on the Post Office page. Not surprisingly, many voiced concerns on the local tax burden. Although the Wantagh website is not affiliated with the government, we will forward this concern to local officials and we'll discuss it at the January survey meeting. What's more, we will continue to keep you informed about tax related meetings on the Wantagh dot LI calendar. Comments over the environment and over-development were also raised. Here also, the Wantagh dot LI calendar can be of assistance since it lists local community meetings. Often the topic of these meetings involve the environment and over-development. As for the photo contest, the rules have been modified to remove the age limit, although parental consent is needed for applicants under eighteen. This age-limit request was also voiced during a recent visit to the Wantagh Middle School. For more information, please visit the following link:

A new condominium project was proposed for property on Wantagh Avenue that is now zoned Residence "A" for single-family homes. The DAO Realty Corp has petitioned the Town of Hempstead’s Board of Zoning Appeals to change the zoning designation of the property, located at 1708 and behind 1710 Wantagh Avenue, to "C-A" zoning for multi-family homes. These survey results echo the opposition voiced at a recent meeting of the Wantagh/Seaford Homeowners Association, where the community cited traffic, aesthetic and quality-of-life concerns.
