Ordinance 2025-20 Water/Sewer – First Reading
I guess the silver lining is that we live in a place where everyone wants to live, and will pay through the nose to make it happen.
Sure the traffic will be unbearable, and the design is quite possibly the ugliest pile of crap I’ve ever seen, and we’ll have to deal with a year of construction, and the people that move there will adopt an annoying “I’m a local now so I know what this town needs” attitude, and, well, it basically sucks.
But we live in paradise, and paradise can’t stay private forever.

Quote from Mr DeBlasio from the recent planning board meeting from the Coast Star
“Just because we’re handcuffed doesn’t mean we have to like it, because we don’t. It doesn’t mean we have to vote for it, because we don’t. Because where we’re at, because of the advantage you’ve taken of our ordinances, there’s nothing you can do to convince me to like this project with this density and this lack of parking.”
From Planning Board meeting 2/14/2022 of which Mr DeBlasio was part of the unanimous approval.
ORDINANCE 2022-02
Ms. Beahm explained the changes to the previously presented amendment of the Seaport Redevelopment Plan pertaining to Block 87 Lots, 1,2,3. The Board was asked to do a consistency review with the Master Plan. There has been no implementation of the redevelopment plan for 15 years. The changes hope to encourage development. The
building height and setbacks were changed for these parcels. Mr. Meyer made a motion to deem Ordinance 2022-02 to be consistent with the Master Plan, which was seconded by Mr. Lindsay and approved unanimously.
Now, maybe I’m wrong but boy is it hard to spin voting in favor of a height restriction change for a project you later call “too big”. The increase in height restriction for this project went on to become an actual ordinance approved by the Walsifer admin.
I get it, you run for office you have to do some grandstanding. Sometimes that grandstanding comes in the form of a meaningless protest vote. But all this stuff is part of the public record and it’s hard to explain away.
Well that’s pretty gross. I wonder if someone from the coast star or Doherty’s **** *** will ask him about that 180 degree turn.
I’d like to approve allowing a taller building now but I will pretend to be indignant about it in a couple years.
Politics. What are ya gonna do.
