Thank you for joining over 700 (so far) of your neighbors in signing our Petition to the Town Board to not move forward with the PUD Law as the foreseeable impacts of the PUD Law as currently drafted have not been identified, analyzed and mitigated through PUD Law corrections.
It is only common sense to want zoning changes made in response to growth to be smart and safe, not random and poorly planned.
Even the map the Town Board had produced to identify potential areas subject to PUD Law rezoning is unclear, incomplete and seemingly accurate.
The Town Board has not yet documented how the PUD Law will impact all the different areas of Town as we all know it will.
Please continue to support our advocacy to force the Town Board to do the necessary – and legally mandated – planning that is necessary before passing the PUD Law as currently drafted.
To ensure the effectiveness of the our advocacy, there are 3 things you can do.
Share the Petition with your neighbors, neighbors and other family members
Our goal is to gather 1000+ signatures by the Wednesday May 21 Town Board meeting. Post the petition URL: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/oppose-pud-law into your WhatsApp groups, on your WhatsApp status, on your shul or other email lists, and on all your social media; follow us on Instagram; write letters to the editor and to your favorite influencer; print the petition and hang it up in your local schools and businesses. Spread the word. For more information, you can click here: Learn more about the PUD Law.
Submit written comments to the Town Board
It is vital that the public’s concern not be written off as generalized NIMBYism. We all have seen good and bad development so its important that you send written comments to the Town Board to express specific concerns and requests. The biggest specific call to the board is for them to do their homework. Pleaseemail the Town Board; they really need to be bombarded before they vote on May 21!A sample letter with instructions and email addresses can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16rSWZcN74bHWY2… and another one can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/4mtycmf9
Please send both letters. It will take you less than 5 minutes total. Feel free to edit them to express whatever you most want to say.
You can also send letters in the mail to Town of Ramapo Town Board, 237 Rt 59, Suffern NY 10901. You can also call the Supervisor or members of the Council at 845-357-5100 and request a meeting with them.
