ZBA/Planning Commission Minutes The Mechanicville Zoning/Planning Board held a meeting at the Mechanicville Public Works Building, 4 Industrial Park Road, Mechanicville, New York on November 12, 2019. Frank Scirocco opened the meeting at 7:00 P.M. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Robert Chase. Roll Call: Frank Scirocco - present Robert Chase - present Richard Delaney - present Keith Johnson - present Ed Morcone - present Raymond Martin - absent Sam Carabis - present Frank Scirocco: We have four (4) sets of minutes, has everyone had a chance to go over them? Satisfied? I am not going to go one by one, can I have a motion to accept all four, April, May, August, and September. Motion By: Robert Chase Seconded By: Sam Carabis Richard Delaney: I don’t know if this is the time but I had a question about the status of one of the meetings. Is this the time to ask that? Frank Scirocco: You can ask. I don’t have a copy of them in front of me. Which month are we talking about? Richard Delaney: The August meeting. Frank Scirocco: We can abstain from the August meeting if you would like. Richard Delaney: Ok, I just want to clarify a couple of things. Bob Chase: I will make my motion for everything but the August meeting. Frank Scirocco: The motion is to approve April, May and September. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Frank Scirocco: We can do August at the next meeting. We will be reviewing a sketch plan for a site plan review for Steve Dumas, 2459 River Road, to build a !1 multi-family residence on Grove Street. Let me just say this is a sketch plan review and no action will be taken tonight, we are just here to get as much information as we can to move to the second phase. I just want to acknowledge it was published in the Daily Gazette, notice was given, and neighbors were all notified by mail. Was everyone satisfied with the letter that was sent? Here is a copy of all the notifications for you to see. Bob Chase: We have that in our packets. Frank Scirocco: Very nice. Steve Dumas, are you here? Steve Dumas: Yes sir. Frank Scirocco: Would you like to take the hot seat? We are in the fact finding stage of the site plan review. We need to know what you would like to do and then I am sure the board will have a lot of questions. Let me get your plan out. We know you want to put a four (4) family up correct? Steve Dumas: Yes Frank Scirocco: So tell us what is going on? Steve Dumas: So what happened was me, John, and Nan DiSiena have come to an agreement on a price and went into a contract contingent on if I can do a three (3) or four (4) family. I would prefer to do a four (4) family; so what I did was I found some plans for smaller units. This is basically the facade and everything. It is 27 x 67, is the building itself, I think the setbacks are 15 feet or 10 feet I am not sure, I am looking for a 5 foot set off front to back then left to right I do the fifteen which would still leave room for some parking. On Grove Street I have two building over there that have off street parking but I know a lot of the houses have on street parking that cause an issue. I am thinking if mine is allowed I would have a parking lot where I could get six (6) or seven (7) spots in there. Like you said this is just a sketch, if you guys do decide to let us do that then I would have an architect come in and he would have the sizes and everything what is allowed and he can draw it up and meet whatever you guys want. That is pretty much it from my stand point. Frank Scirocco: The second phase of this, according to our code, would require drawings, elevations, drainage, run-off, traffic, and things like that. We are not !2 saying you need to go out and get a traffic study done; you just need to tell us what is going on with the cars. We would need to see heights. What else? Richard Delaney: Maybe a report from the fire department or at least to see what their views are for the access to the building. Steve Dumas: From my understanding there was a two (2) family there one time that burnt down. I don’t think that will help my cause or anything, but I still need to do all that, this is sounding like it is getting real expensive and I don’t want to start laying out several thousands of dollars. Richard Delaney: You are proposing a four (4) unit as opposed to a two (2) unit. Steve Dumas: I understand I don’t want to start getting all of these tests. Frank Scirocco: In the application, I am sure you read it, where the onsite sanitation water supply facilities, field survey, and boundary lines, we would need to see all of that when we get to that phase. The question now is, gentleman, whether it is a three (3) or four (4) family, you are going to need a special permit, and you will need an area variance (which is allowed). I am just going to try and figure out the best way to go about this and what is beneficial to the City as well as the applicant. Steve Dumas: Is there a one stop shop where someone could do all of this. Frank Scirocco: I can ask the Fire Inspector to be at the next meeting to give his opinion on what the situation would be. That is something he would have to do. Survey the boundary lines, naturally you would survey the property, you would have to show us that the drainage and water supply is sufficient. Because you are within five hundred (500) feet of a state highway, tonight Gina and I will send an application to the County and they will review and come back with whether or not it will have an impact on the County, which I can’t see that being the case, but because it is within five hundred (500) feet it has to go to them for their review. We can’t act on that until we have a report from them. When do they meet? Gina Kenyon: I will need to get him to them tomorrow and they will be meeting the following week and that would be fine. Frank Scirocco: We will have that report for the next meeting. Ed, go ahead. !3 Ed Morcone: How many parking will be required for a four (4) family? Keith Johnson: It is 1 " per unit. Richard Delaney: You said eight (8) on your application. Steve Dumas: I believe so, if we get to that point I will have someone do that. I think they were saying something like eight (8) feet by eighteen (18) feet for a spot. I am not sure if that is possible, I am not sure how that works. Sam Carabis: Nine (9) by eighteen (18) is required. Basically you did mention eight (8) cars and I think the size of the lot is inadequate for that so you may have to go by the 1 " per unit. You are going to need a site plan because even getting six (6) cars on the site plan is going to be a little tight there so you are going to have to lay them out and see if you can get them in there. The lot, one section is 34 feet the other section is 100 feet so is there actually two different lots there? Steve Dumas: Yes, there are two lots and I will have them combined Sam Carabis: Do you own both lots? Steve Dumas: Yes, I am under contract for both of them and I am going to combine them to make one. Sam Carabis: The big thing here is the setbacks, the five (5) feet. The thing is you have to get a sidewalk in there, you have to get an entrance in there and so forth, and that might present a little bit of a problem getting it all in there. As far as the parking lot there, you have to look at snow removal too. You have to have someplace to put the snow. Then there is garbage, you have to have garbage storage. The thing is too we don’t get too many four (4) units, this is one building lot here but you are extending it, I think you have 134 feet and a normal building lot is 50 x 100 which means what you have here is 40 x 100 so you are a little tight in there and I don’t know what you can do as far as the house goes. There is a sheet here for the final inspection of what you are going to need; I think if you get this you will address most of the questions if not all of them. That’s all for now I think Frank. Frank Scirocco: Keith, welcome back. Keith Johnson: Thank you. Is the building 27 x 67 or 30 x 80? !4 Steve Dumas: Originally I was planning on going that size but then I found these drawing that are 27 x 67.

  • Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital
    Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital Ignorance is BlissThanksgiving at PPTH The hospital lobby, decorated for the holidays "Omnes te moriturum amant" ―Hospital motto Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (or PPTH) is the fictitious teaching hospital where House is set. It is located in Princeton, New Jersey on Prospect Street (as seen on Chase's GPS when he rushes to the hospital in After Hours) The hospital presumably is located near the neighboring township of Plainsboro. Princeton University's Frist Campus Center is used in the aerial screen shots. It was apparently based on a hospital near where series co-creator Bryan Singer grew up. Organization PPTH appears to be a non-profit entity, essentially run as a charity with no shareholders. It is a teaching hospital, which means it is affiliated with a university medical school (although it has never been revealed which one, and Princeton University has no medical school) and is responsible for training medical students, interns, residents and fellows. The hospital's highest authority is the Board of Directors, which is primarily made up of department heads, together with important donors. Generally, the Chairman of the Board is one of the donors rather than one of the doctors. The current chairman of the board is Sanford Wells, the owner of a large corporation. The board generally does not involve itself in the day-to-day running of the hospital. Its chief duty appears to be to approve the hiring of chief administrative officers and approving contracts for major expenses, such as those with the hospital's insurers. The Board also determines which doctors are entitled to tenure in the hospital's role as a medical educator.

  • Diskriminasi Rasial Dan Supremasi Kulit Putih Pada Penggambaran Profesi Medis Dalam Drama House, M.D
    Universitas Indonesia Library >> UI - Makalah dan Kertas Kerja Diskriminasi rasial dan supremasi kulit putih pada penggambaran profesi medis dalam drama House, M.D. (2004 - 2011) = Racial discriminations and white supremacy among medical profession portrayed in the medical drama House, M.D. (2004-2011) Michaila Shahnez Natasha, author Deskripsi Lengkap: http://lib.ui.ac.id/detail?id=20424179&lokasi=lokal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisa penggambaran dari tiga etnis melalui karakter-karakter utama pada drama medis House, M. D. yaitu Dr. Gregory House, Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. Eric Foreman dan Dr. Chi Park. Sebagaimana drama medis tidak hanya memaparkan dunia medis kepada penonton, namun juga membentuk persepsi publik mengenai bagaimana para praktisi kesehatan dan sistem pelayanan kesehatan bekerja, artikel ini berupaya untuk menunjukkan bagaimana diskriminasi-diskriminasi rasial muncul pada otoritas dan keahlian biomedis para praktisi kesehatan. Melalui analisis tekstual, artikel ini berargumen bahwa drama ini tidak hanya mendekonstruksi dan memperkuat citra stereotipikal dari orang-orang Afrika-Amerika dan Asia, namun juga merepresentasikan supremasi kulit putih di Amerika Serikat.<hr><i>This article analyses the portrayals of three different ethnicities through the leading characters, which are Dr. Gregory House, Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. Eric Foreman and Dr. Chi Park, in the medical drama House, M.D. As medical drama not only exposes the world of medicine to the audiences but also shapes public perceptions about how the physicians and health care system work, this article attempts to show how racial discriminations occur among the physicians? biomedical authority and expertise. Through textual analysis, this article argues that the show not only deconstructs and reinforces the widely-accepted, stereotypical images of African- Americans and Asians but also represents white supremacy in the United States.</i>.
