ROTTERDAM Agreement lets rental units continue use of sewer service JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter
The Galesi Group has agreed to continue sewer service to the former Rotterdam Housing Area, granting a temporary reprieve to more than 100 tenants who are renting apartments at the eightacre complex. Dave Buicko, Galesi’s chief operating officer, said a settlement was reached with Sync Realty that will allow the company to use Galesi’s sewer connection while they seek to establish a separate sewer district with the town. He declined to discuss the terms of the agreement and would only say the sewer service would be “short” in duration. “For a period of time, they can use our system,” he said Thursday. The agreement comes after the state Appellate Court ruled that Sync had no binding right to use the sewer connection, which hooks into the Galesi-owned Rotterdam Corporate Park. Absent the connection or a new one, Sync would have been forced to empty the property of all its renters. “We won in court from our standpoint, and even though we technically don’t have to continue the service, we felt a moral responsibility to those people who rented there,” Buicko said. “[The agreement] was for the residents there specifically.” Meanwhile, Sync and Rotterdam officials continue to wait for a Saratoga County Supreme Court ruling that will determine whether the Philadelphia-based property development company must seek a zoning change on the property. In January, the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals ruled that Sync would need to rezone the property from light industrial to multi-family residential before it could start leasing apartments at the complex. Sync purchased the property for $1.92 million after submitting a winning bid on the land in February 2008. The company began leasing apartments in the six multi-family buildings on the property about five months later without seeking a zoning change or a certificate of occupancy from the town. The property includes six apartment buildings with a total of 45 units, a two story duplex townhouse and a single-family ranch-style residence. Town officials are unsure how many people now reside at the complex, but estimate that it houses more than 100 residents.

ROTTERDAM Apartments’ owner seeks to rezone Decision prohibits renting out former military housing units BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Justin Mason at 395-3113 or jmason@dailygazette.net.
Sync Realty will seek a zoning change for the former Rotterdam Housing area this month, while asking at the same time the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals to reconsider a decision that prevents the company from renting apartments at the complex. Andy Brick, an attorney representing the company and property owner Johnny Zhang, said his client will apply to rezone the eight-acre property to a multi-family residential classification. He anticipates the company will file the paperwork with the town sometime over the next week. At the same time, Brick said Sync will ask the Zoning Board to reconsider a January decision that found the U.S. military’s residential use of the property did not carry over when it was transferred to a private entity last year. He said new documentation indicated the military leased part of the property to a group called Mohawk Manor Inc., in 1950, meaning there was a precedent for using the property for residential purposes by a private entity. “That strengthens our position,” he said Thursday. The property is technically in an area of town zoned for light industry. But federally owned properties are not subject to local law, meaning the 57-year-old housing area never had to conform to the town’s zoning maps. Sync has lost two separate legal actions over the complex. Both placed the future of the property’s residential use in doubt. ......................>>>>.....................>>>>...................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00901&AppName=1
What does the town of Rotterdam want? We will never know because it seems it does not want people living in an established living area — namely the old military housing base, where the new owners failed to apply for a zoning change from industrial to residential. It seems like the town is probably going to let the Golub Corp. build a 410,000-square-foot warehouse on vacant land that is zoned residential but is vacant because Golub purchased all the homes between Duanesburg Road and Dunnsville Road and tore down the nice properties. In either case it should have been caveat emptor; then the town would not be in this Catch-22 of not wanting industrial land used for residential purposes while residents of Route 7 worry about more land being developed for industrial purposes in residential areas.
I really don't see what the big whoop is here. Just change the zoning. The town could not possibly refuse it. What else can be done with it except knock it down. They do not take section 8. The property appears to be well maintained. People lived there for decades before. THEY ARE APARTMENTS!!!
So just change the zoning. And do it now BEFORE the election cause their are plenty of people who are living in those apartments that will vote based on their decision. Ya know.....'everybody's got an axe to grind'. So this will be theirs. IMHO

the government ruled it before......now it's been 'left'......I guess the town wasn't prepared for 'the change'----or maybe they never 'knew about it'...... foresight

That is what they are doing. The person bought the place from the Feds at auction, fair and square. However the town has the position that you can't just do what you want there because it is zoned a certain way. The court confirmed that apparently. What should the town have done, Senders? Seized the land from the feds?
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
the town must have known what was going down-----LONG BEFORE people moved in......it was empty for how long?---the deed was filed when?---they knew the feds were leaving when?------I'm just not seeing 'the movement',,,,,it's like constipation.....
dont tell me the owner didn't/doesn't know local businessmen who know 'how to' and 'who's who'.......they aren't dumb

Some children at the Rotterdam Housing Area call Laura Casey “mom.” She offers the simple gesture as evidence of the close-knit community that has sprung up at the complex since Sync Realty converted it into apartments. In less than a year, Casey said, she’s formed bonds with her neighbors and has finally found a place to call home. Parents don’t worry about their children playing in the spacious courtyard because there’s someone watching out for them. And if you need a cup of sugar, there’s always someone willing to spare some next door. “It’s because we all look out for each other,” she said recently, wiping tears from her eyes. “This is the happiest I’ve been, and I’d love to know that I’d be able to stay.” Likewise, Ivan Torres would like an assurance that he can continue living in the apartment he leased six months ago. As a father of a young child, he likes the Mohonasen Central School District and the feeling of safety at the housing area —a feeling he didn’t have at his last apartment in Schenectady. “[My son] goes outside and plays; I have no worries,” explained the self-employed father. Casey, Torres and many of the more than 100 tenants now occupying the property’s six apartment buildings, two-story duplex townhouse and single-family ranch-style residence were concerned that they might have to move in the dead of winter. Sync’s temporary contract with the Galesi Group for providing sanitary sewer service to the complex expires on New Year’s Day, leaving the tenants’ fate at the housing area in question. ...........>>>>..............>>>>...............http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01302&AppName=1
