Chili Land Purchase Questioned
Below is a letter to the editor which appeared on page 10A in the April 23, 2009 - Gates-Chili Post (click on the letter to enlarge it). Heath Miller asks a very good question. Why is the Town of Chili purchasing landlocked land for the highway garage?

DPW Construction Cost
Below is Passero Associate's estimated construction cost for a new Department of Public Works: $9.1 Million for the building and $11.7 Million total. Notice that the $11.7 Million included only $225,000 for 15 acres of land, not $1 Million for 36 acres of land.

Tax Free Property?
The picture below shows the parcel formerly known as 100 Beaver Road outlined in blue. It is two separate pieces, although both are part of the same tax ID number.
The main piece is shaded below. It is approximately 143 acres.
The landlocked piece is shaded below. It is approximately 6.91 acres.
What is astonishing is that the tax bill for 100 Beaver Road shows a total of only 142.78 acres! That's the acreage of the main piece only and does not include the landlocked piece.
A Tale of Two Sites
Below is a map that shows the 25-acre site and the 6.91-acre site that was appraised.
Notice how the 6.91-acre site is completely landlocked?
The Town of Chili does not currently own any of the land adjacent to this landlocked site. The land to the west and north is owned by COMIDA - Wegmans; the land to the east is owned by Perl Land Development Corporation (not The Father's House as stated in the appraisal); and the land to the south is the CSX railroad tracks.
During the public forum of the last two Town Board meetings, residents have asked why the Town of Chili is purchasing this landlocked site. The Town Board refuses to answer any questions about it. So much for open government!
A Friend in Need
Check out the invitations for a recent fundraiser hosted by Larry Glazer and John Caruso & Passero Associates for Supervisor Dunning. Yes, that's Larry (Laurence) Glazer, the person listed as Manager of 100 Beaver Road, LLC, the owner of the 36 acres of land the Town of Chili wants to buy for $1 Million.
