Seaford district meeting on school sale vote Tuesdayin an additional [approximately]$620,002 per year in tax revenues with-out adding additional children to theschool district,” he said. Property taxesare estimated to be about $8,000 perunit.

Mr. Krieger pointed to the success ofThe Seasons at East Meadow wherethey have built 404 condominium unitsfor seniors. To date, “398 were sold andwe have six left [although Mr. Kriegersaid another unit was in contract at thetime of the meeting]. We have tons ofgrandparents who want to be near theirgrandkids,” he said. Later Mr. Kriegeradded that “people trade in their homesfor the lifestyle. They don’t want tohave the upkeep of a house.”

The developer’s traffic expert, BobEschbacher, said traffic studies indicat-ed “little impact.”

Finally, Mr. Krieger said BK atSeaford LLC would “sign a covenantand restriction with the Town ofHempstead that would restrict school agechildren from living at The Seasons.”

School district – why sell and howit came about

Brian Fagan, president of the Seafordschool board, said there had been “28meetings to discuss the Seaford Avenue

School,” since 2010 when a survey wasgiven out to the public. “643 respondentsanswered the survey,” said Mr. Fagan,“but there were no clear sentiments[about what to do with the building].”

Initially, the district met with Town ofHempstead Supervisor Kate Murray aswell as officials from Nassau County,but neither municipality was interestedin purchasing the property, he added.

In March of 2011 the Seaford SchoolDistrict’s budget advisory committeeurged the district to “do somethingwith the building” said Mr. Fagan.

The building has not been used toeducate children since 1981 and hasbeen empty for the last two years, heexplained. The building costs the dis-trict $100,000 a year in maintenancecosts. To tear the building down wouldcost the district $2 million.

The district hired Greiner-Maltz, aRealtor, to find an interested buyer. InNovember of 2011, two developers madeofferings to purchase the property butultimately only one proposal was viable.

In June a contract was completed andin August a timeline was developed forthe referendum, explained Mr. Fagan.

If voters approve the sale, proceedswill be placed into a special reserve fundto be used by the district for a 10- yearperiod to “educate children and provide

programs also for capital improve-ments]. We need to get our reserves up;they are depleted,” said Mr. Fagan.

“We can’t wait any longer. We haveto make a decision on this. We have a2% tax cap; state aid is down. Thebuilding is crumbling and even if morekids come here we don’t need thatbuilding.”

Residents react A question-and-answer format fol-

lowed Mr. Krieger’s presentation.Seaford Superintendent Brian Conboyread questions from index cards.Additionally several dozen residentslined up to ask questions.

Why not single-family homes?Mr. Krieger said this 5.63-acre plot

would hold 30 single homes. “We alsohave to put in roadways and wouldhave offered $1.5 million for this.[instead of the almost $5.2 million forcondo development].”

The survey in 2010 said the commu-nity wanted fields preserved and thathas been disregarded. Why?

“No interested buyer wanted tomaintain fields,” said Mr. Conboy.“We have fields throughout the district.

When this development wasannounced, there was no indication itwould be a 55-or-older development.Why the change?

“We thought this type of communitybelonged at this location,” said Mr. Krieger.

But residents had additional ques-tions on this matter.

Why are there no covenants andrestrictions in the contract?

At the time the contract was execut-ed it was not certain about the direction[of the development].,” said the school

district’s attorney, Christopher Venator.Albert D’Agostino, the developer’s

attorney, added that “the covenant[restricting residents to 55 or older] mustbe put in an application to the Town ofHempstead. They will require it,” he said.

Two weeks ago there was nothingthat mentioned this. Why is there nomemorandum of understanding?

“A petition will be signed by theapplicant and the owner,” explainedMr. Krieger, to ensure the developmentis for older adults.

What if the Town of Hempstead does-n't approve the 55-or-better designa-tion, then what?

“Then the school district would beback to square one [the property wouldrevert back to the school district]. Butif the referendum passes then the townknows the people are in favor and willpass it,” said Mr. Krieger.

But the contract “does not protect uswhatsoever. It is not clearly defined andthat has to change,” said one resident.

Other residents challenged Mr.Eschberger’s traffic study, pointing tothe increase in the number of seniorswho still work and the problems withthe traffic lights on Seaford Avenueand Merrick Road.

Another resident cautioned the dis-trict to think carefully about this sale.“We are selling an asset to cover oper-ating expenses. Aren’t we kicking thecan down the road? When that $5 mil-lion is gone that’s it. Everyone makes agrab for the money; $5 million can goaway so fast it will take your breathaway,” he said.

However, at least one resident spokein support of the sale. “The building isdecrepit; why not vote yes?”

L-I-V-E-!Lots of local businesses are using their platforms to

heighten awareness of breast cancer, especially thismonth. Dawson Taxi of Baldwin is known for its pinktaxis. Dakota Design on the Freeport-Merrick borderrecently hosted a fashion show. And so it is only fittingthat your community newspaper is sporting a pink rib-bon this week.

Many fundraisers involve walks, like the first onehosted by the Long Island Breast Cancer Action coali-tion decades ago. Others are runs, like the Susan G.Komen Race for The Cure, which altered the iconicpink ribbon into a ribbon-like racing figure.

And the purpose is two-fold, to raise funds for breastcancer research and education outreach – and also toenergize breast cancer survivors and those who careabout them.

Here, at your community newspaper, we were recent-ly rocked by the diagnosis of breast cancer of one of ourdevoted staffers, though we are filled with hope that asan educated patient she will defeat it.

A couple of the facts we learned this week:1. According to the American Cancer Society 88% of

patients diagnosed with Stage I Breast Cancer survivethe five years after which one is considered cured.

2. The 10-year survival rate is higher in patients whoexercise regularly, acccording to Johns HopkinsMedicine, who recommend that you exercise at least 3-5 hours per week.

Exercise has a lot of benefits for all of us, includingcancer survivors:

• Less stress • Improved circulation• Vitamin D (if you exercise outdoors)• Energy and a healthier weightAnd what does that spell? L-I-V-E!!!

FUN IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH: Two youngsters consider a friendly exchange in the pumpkinpatch last weekend at the Seaford Historical Society Harvest Fair.

Kids enjoyed crafts and pumpkin painting. Said Charlie Wroblewski, Seaford HistoricalSociety president: “Biggest and best we’ve had yet!”

An asset for thecommunity

To The Citizen:As a resident of Seaford for 40+

years, it was with great pleasure that Ilearned of the proposal by the SeafordBoard of Education to sell the SeafordAvenue School property to be devel-oped into condominiums.

At the request of the school board, Iwas a member of a voluntary commit-tee composed of a group of residentswith a variety of expertise, to addressthis issue several years ago.

At the conclusion of extensiveresearch, we recommended selling theproperty in a manner consistent withthe current proposal.

I look forward to communityapproval, which will convert thisfinancial drain on the district into anasset for the community.

Frank Merklin, P.E

55 and over?Editor’s note:

The following letter was also sent tothe Seaford school board:

To The Citizen:Please know it is with heavy hearts,

determined pen and firm resolve thatwe the members of the SeafordHarbor Civic Association, Inc.(SHCA) deliver this correspondenceto you today. Our membership con-sists of homeowners, families andbusiness owners, who will be directlyimpacted by any sale or disposition ofthe Seaford Avenue School buildingand property. Having not been

afforded an opportunity to do so byany invitation of your board, we wishto share with you those concernsSHCA has with regard to the impend-ing referendum and specifically to theproposed sale of the Seaford AvenueSchool parcel.

It is our understanding, arrived atthrough a review of the Contract ofSale, and limited information provid-ed by the Board of Education to mediaoutlets, you as a board are seekingapproval of the public (via referen-dum vote on October 16) to be author-ized to sell said parcel to BK atSeaford, LLC. The Contract of Sale,obtained via Freedom of Informationlegislation request, confirms the pur-chaser will be BK at Seaford, LLC.

It is worth mentioning that everyadjournment into Executive Sessionby this Board of Education, to con-duct business out of the eye of thepublic on this transaction, had indicat-ed that the negotiations were with theThe Burman Group.

It is also worth noting, the forma-tion of a limited liability corporationdesigned to purchase property is notan unusual business practice, but it isin fact done to mitigate the financialexposure of the purchasing entity (inthis case The Burman Group) in theevent the transaction does not come tofruition.

While we have reviewed theContract of Sale (and any and allagreements thereto as of the deliveryof this letter), we do not propose to belegal counsel. That being said, wehave some very real concerns borne ofthat reading of the contract. Those

concerns only became more height-ened based on the “Q & A” informa-tion put out by the district (and sentby a member of the Board ofEducation to some members of thecommunity, and posted on the dis-trict’s website). Perhaps the mostconcerning example (just one of manywherein what is stated in the Q &Aconflicts with the contract) is themixed message with regard to the “55and over” designation for the develop-ment.Representatives of The BurmanGroup stated at a very brief overviewpresentation at a BOE meeting (noquestion-and-answer at that meetingeither) that they would “not be seek-ing” zoning for a “55 and over” devel-opment, indicating the lack of accessto the types of amenities that wouldbe desirable to that population ofowners.

During the recent PTA meetings inthe district in September, the adminis-trators and board members, whospoke to those groups, too indicated

that “55 and over” was not an option.Now in the past week, a marked turn-around in the rhetoric from the districtand the purchaser, who have taken tothe Internet and to television to sug-gest that “55 and over” is a given.Yet, it appears nowhere in a bindingwritten instrument. We hope you canappreciate the lack of confidence inthe information coming out and fromwhere the scrutiny is derived.

To dismiss legitimate concerns aris-ing from limited information on thedeal, and mixed messages coming outsporadically from the district, as itseems this BOE is bent on doing, ver-sus having good and constructive dis-cussion, is troublesome at best.

Absent the introduction of very spe-cific and long-lasting protectionsafforded to our community, that rec-ognize the quality of life and charac-ter of our hamlet, we as an organiza-tion will ask our members and thecommunity at large to vote “no” onOctober 16. Our concerns certainly

Dear Mark,

This letter is no doubt but one of many expressions of support you have received thus far,throughout this unfortunate and stranger-than-fiction experience. That you are innocent andwill soon be fully exonerated is certainly to be the outcome. No need to further discuss this!

I did want to extend to you the well-wishes of the Seaford Community. I have not spokento a business owner, merchant nor customer who is not only outraged, but most concernedfor the emotional care and comfort of you and your family. Seaford’s feelings for you shouldnot come as a surprise.

It is impossible to count the number of times Mark Bonilla has lent his support to the Seafordcommunity. Your consistent presence at our house-of-worship events, blood drives, Easteregg hunts, Christmas tree and Menorah lightings and business grand openings, have alwaysbeen greatly valued and appreciated. You have honored Seaford many times in this way, andthis community will not turn its back on Mark Bonilla!

Mark, we already know you and your familypossesses the love, strength and courage toendure this difficult period. Please know nowthat you need only reach out to this communi-ty for continued support and friendship. Welook forward to a time when, vindicated-with-apologies, you will join us for a celebration, “Seaford style.”

Sincerely,

Juanita DuranCo-OwnerMajestic Salon & Spa

could be quieted or at least dimin-ished significantly with the submis-sion of a well drafted Memorandumof Understanding, setting forth thatprior to closing a deed containingcovenants and restrictions (to runwith the land), will be recorded. ThatMemorandum of Understandingwould need to have Seaford UnionFree School District, BK at Seaford,LLC and The Burman Group ascosigning parties.

The Memorandum amongst otherthings will need to guarantee that aDeed with Covenants and Restrictionswill be recorded against the SeafordAvenue School parcel. That deed willcontain protections including but notlimited to: offering the district a rever-sionary protection (in the event thezoning does not go through and thedisposition of the land once againbecomes an issue), the district wouldreserve a right of first refusal to takeback the property, thereby inhibitingthe possibility of development by asubsequent owner; it will prohibit the

property to be developed for any pur-pose other than residential housing;and language affording the communityparticular access to any propertydeemed to be set aside as park space.

These documents must be put inplace prior to the October 16 referen-dum in order to afford SHCA and theSeaford Board of Education theopportunity to protect its membersand the residents of the community atlarge here in Seaford. Our organiza-tion is one in which all are welcometo join, to share in positive and con-structive dialogue aimed to preservethe quality of life here in Seaford andto support our schools and businessesas well.

We encourage the Board ofEducation and Seaford Union FreeSchool District administrators toengage our group in discussion, notonly on this incredibly important mat-ter, but on those issues going forwardfor which our insights and support canbe appreciated.

The

Wantagh-Seaford

Citizen

The Seaford Vikings needed to make alast stand against the West HempsteadRams to secure the victory on September29. Big defensive plays by JamesO’Hagen, Tyler Hertz, Zack Antonette,John Lauretti, Austin Quiroz and TylerO’Donnell helped keep the Rams incheck as precious seconds ticked off theclock.

With 2:25 remaining, a Ram runnerbroke free on a third and one and made afirst down to the Viking 47-yard line.After moving down the field to the 20-yard line, the Rams were faced with afourth down. On the handoff, the Vikingsswarmed the runner and held him to nogain and a turnover on downs. TheVikings took possession and ran out theclock with a kneel down. Vikings win31-27

On October 6, the Vikings “sailed”over to Roosevelt to face the Roughridersin a 3 p.m. match up of the final twoundefeated teams in Nassau ConferenceIV. This game is always a thriller andthis year’s contest was no different.

The sports prognosticators predictedacross the board that the RooseveltRoughriders would defeat the SeafordVikings in a matchup of the last twoundefeated teams in Nassau’s VarsityFootball Conference IV.

Somebody should have told theVikings because apparently they didn’tget the memo. From Patrick Bizzarro’s40-yard return of Roosevelt’s openingkickoff, the Vikings made a statementthat they decide who will win the game –after it’s played. The final score: Seaford13, Roosevelt 12.

Seaford’s offense was without its starrunning back, Nick Fischetti, on its initialpossession due to a flare-up of the ankle

injury he sustained last week againstWest Hempstead. Starting from the 50-yard line as a result of Bizzarro’s greatreturn, Joe Bongiovi and Austin Quirozramrodded down the field behind theoffensive line for almost five minutes,making two first downs along the way.With 7:15 left in the first quarter, PeterAdorno hit Kyle Kolodinsky in the backcorner of the end zone for a 12-yardtouchdown pass. Kolodinsky made agreat catch on a perfectly thrown ball.Matthew Murphy connected on the extrapoint which proved pivotal and decisivein Seaford’s victory.

Seaford’s entire defense was ready toplay too. Roosevelt took Seaford’s onsidekick to its own 48, being stopped by a bighit by Anthony Celia. A third and eightpass went incomplete and Roosevelt punt-ed the ball to the Seaford 13-yard line.

The offensive ground game led byBongiovi and Quiroz kept punishing theRoosevelt defense on Seaford’s secondpossession. The Vikings? Justin Cestro,aided in the effort with two big gains.Seaford was moving the ball as the firstquarter ended.

The drive ended shortly after the startof the second quarter with a Rooseveltinterception that was returned toSeaford’s 28-yard line. Roosevelt scoredafter a 23-yard run into the end zone byJordan David. The extra point kickattempt failed when the kick went lowand wide to the left.

Roosevelt then kicked off from its own30-yard line after two offside penalties.Once kicked, Bizzarro returned the ballto Seaford’s 42-yard line. After runs byBongiovi and Quiroz, Adorno hitO’Donnell for a 12-yard gain toRoosevelt’s 22-yard line. A fantastic call

for a draw run by Justin Cestro failedwhen Seaford was called for holding. Onsecond and 16, Adorno and Kolodinskyjust missed connecting for a touchdown.Adorno was sacked on the next playmaking it fourth and 16 from theRoosevelt 28. Seaford’s decision to gofor a first down instead of a field goalattempt failed and Roosevelt took posses-sion with 2:48 left in the half.

It proved enough time for Rooseveltwhen after a 19-yard pass completion,running back Johnnie Akins carried theball three consecutive times, culminatingin a touchdown with 40.5 seconds left inthe first half. Roosevelt tried to recoverfrom its failed extra point kick on its firsttouchdown and attempted a two-pointconversion that was stopped by theSeaford defense. At the half Rooseveltled Seaford 12-7.

The second half began with the weatherand wind changing. The warm sun of theafternoon gave way to a chilly, cloudy day.The wind changed from a southeasterlydirection to a northwest gust. It proved itsimpact on the kicking late in the game.

Cestro continued his effective runningfor Seaford early in the third period andSeaford picked up an important firstdown by a mere two inches at theRoosevelt 35-yard line. Thereafter, with-out notice, Nick Fischetti re-entered thegame and immediately picked up sevenyards. After Quiroz picked up a Seafordfirst down, Fischetti rattled off runs of 3,2, 1, and 2 yards. Seaford’s drive wasstopped at the Roosevelt five-yard linewith 3:42 left in the third quarter.Roosevelt took over on downs.

Roosevelt’s offensive possessionended quickly when Austin Quirozsacked the quarterback at Roosevelt’s

two-yard line. The Roughriders puntedthe ball to their own 28 yard line with noreturn by Seaford. The third quarterclosed with Seaford at the Roosevelt 14,with Fischetti and Quiroz combining for14 yards. Quiroz then escaped a scrum onfirst and goal from the 3 to scoreSeaford’s second touchdown of the day.The extra-point attempt by Seaford wasblown wide left and Seaford now led 13-12.

O’Donnell preserved Seaford’s lead byintercepting a Roosevelt pass at Seaford’s10-yard line with 8:32 left in the game.Seaford, however, was forced to puntfrom their own 23 yard line as Rooseveltmade a last stand. Seaford’s punt onlygained a net of six yards, stopped still inthe air by the gusting wind.

The Roosevelt offense was as cold asthe day at this point in the game and afterfour downs; Seaford took over on its own24 with approximately 2:30 left in thegame. Seaford would need one first downto seal the victory and they would not bestopped. On third and 4, Kolodinsky tooka handoff around the left end for a six-yard gain and a first down. With only1:35 left in the game, Seaford took a kneeon three downs and the clock ran out onRoosevelt.

The Vikings proved the experts wrongin their predictions. They proved them-selves right in their philosophy: commit-ment, competence, and dedication to thegame and to the team wins footballgames. Seaford returns to its home turfthis Saturday to face Cold Spring Harboron Homecoming Day. The game starts at5 p.m. with pre-game festivities includingthe annual parade stepping off frombehind the library at 3 p.m.
