What difference does that make? The neighborhood will turn out strong to vote democrap anyway. They could put a gigantic shitfarm there and pig slaughterhouse and the imbecile democrap voters (stagnant senile remnants of the GE union days) in that district will blame it on "rich Republicans."

I hope the democraps let their pals build 100 racetracks and a nuclear test site there. Nothing will change until you rewire your 1932-model brains. FDR is dead.


Forget about the "stagnant senile remnants ". - they have been replaced with hillbillies  not able to read municipal codes that pertain specifically to NOISE ABATEMENT regulations.  The willfully ignorant , such as yourself - need to suffer.

I understand Mr's DellaVilla and Del Gallo were schoolmates, can anyone verify?


I think there is a bit of an age difference between the two men.

Well you wanted "change."

My research shows that no one comes to view the riders or all te riders suck so much that they do not enjoy riding ther

Thus the defination of a racetrack in the town code was not met

So I guess that all rotterdamians can turn their back yards into a racetrack, but it won't be 'classified' as a racetrack as long as there are no spectators.....yes? Well I'd suggest getting the bulldozers over tomorrow and start grading for a new track. As long as their are no spectators....you are all good to go!!......right?

There must be no 'noise ordinance' in rotterdam either, huh?

This is like going by FDG's property and saying it isn't a farm because there's no veggies planted.

Typical

the town wanted to rezone my family's property to agricultural  when they were updating the comp plan
within the past 5 years  --- and we haven't had a vegetable garden in about 10 years or farm animals
in about 45 years.

you missed the most important part it is a race track if one of the two occur

(a)there are spectators who "enjoy" the display

or

(b)the contestants receive "gratification"

if the inspector did not see enjoyment or gratification it is not a racetrack

without enjoyment and gratification the riders there must SUCK! or be lacking in....

Rotterdam dirt track determined to not be a racetrack

Residents and dirt bikers have an answer to a long-awaited question: Is the path on a patch of light-industrial land at Maple Street and Wedgewood Heights a racetrack or just a dirt track?

The dirt track is not a racetrack, according to Mickey Maher. Marc Della Villa owns the contested parcel, which has a dirt track for dirt bikes and ATVs. Neighboring residents have complained about the noise of the activity, and town officials have been looking into if the dirt track falls under the town code definition for a racetrack.

“We now have a determination it is not a racetrack from the code enforcement officer and the board has to decide how they want to proceed next,” said Robert Godlewski, deputy supervisor for the town, on Wednesday morning.

Initially the ruling from Maher was unclear and the Rotterdam Town Board had to wait till after the Town Board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 27, to release the official determination.

During the meeting Robert Godlewski, deputy supervisor for the town, said he received an e-mail on Oct. 26 from Mickey Maher, town building inspector, about the determination of the dirt track, but the ruling wasn’t clear from the message.

“On that letter that we received, I’ll be honest with you, I can not make that determination,” said Godlewski at the meeting about the decision. “I have sent him an e-mail asking him, in fact, ‘Is it or is it not a racetrack,’ and no matter how he decides, what are the alternatives either applicant has. I have not received an answer yet. … I’m sure the supervisor will follow up on it tomorrow.”

Supervisor Frank Del Gallo talked to Maher the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 3, and confirmed the dirt track wasn’t a racetrack.

Del Gallo estimated the property was visited around 12 times, which the dates were recorded, before making a determination. Godlewski said Maher and others visited the property throughout the month of October before making the determination.

Maher could not be reached to comment on how he made his decision.

“My position is the same as it was before,” said Del Gallo. “I don’t believe there are racetracks and I don’t think you are ever going to stop it, but I don’t think you should annoy anybody with it.”

Rotterdam Town Code defines a racetrack as “any ground, area or track upon which races, contests or demonstrations of skill or stunts are conducted for the enjoyment or entertainment of the public or for the gratification of the contestants which employ go-carts, stock cars, motor scooters, midget autos, motorcycles, motor vehicles or other vehicles propelled by a force other than human energy.”

Della Villa confirmed the code enforcement officer has visited the property on “numerous” occasions when the dirt bikers were riding on the track.

“The way the neighbors want it, it is so vague that nobody in the town of Rotterdam will be able to ride their snowmobiles on their property,” said Della Villa. “It is not just about the dirt bikes it is about all sorts of things.”

Della Villa said on Tuesday, Nov. 2, before the firm ruling, that he would respect the decision made by the town, but the riders might not be quick to accept the town deciding the dirt track is a racetrack.

“If they close me down tomorrow I would say thank you for the consideration and effort that was put into it and that is it,” said Della Villa. “The kids might sue if they think it is wrongful.”

After Della Villa was informed of the decision he said riders will be happy to reach an understanding with neighbors and try to work with them...
