co-op monies in account that may and does go over the FDIC insurance
Long lines of customers wait outside IndyMac bank in Pasadena on Monday. The bank failed last week, prompting the FDIC to take control of it. Many customers fear they will lose their money. (Walt Mancini / Staff Photographer)i finally am catching up on this co-op building stuff and finally had a chance to look at the audited financial report dated march 5 2008 i noticed that the co-op monies are in a account where they may and do go over the fdic insured limit. This report/audit was from months ago, i believe before the banks started failing.
this is definitely not financial wise.
we need to look into this quickly and split/move the money if it is over the fdic insured limit ans insure it doesn't happen if our balance is under the limit now.there was no info given on the name of the bank that the funds are held at.
1171,1175,1187 and 1189 warburton = next development
there have been fliers posted around the neighborhood, the meeting Wednesday night concerns the four properties at the north west side of warburton closer to the catering hall/ palisades boat club entrance.
1171,1175,1187,1189 warburton.
the million dollar question is what height are they planning to build and what varience will they asking for.
there was a lot of talk of trying to get this neighborhood rezoned to a low rise level.
maybe that is why they are pushing this through in the weak market.
some of the houses are quite nice, the views must be fantastic

ball park and high rise vote coming up
there is an important vote concerning the sfc project , it will really affect Yonkers tax dollars since money is not earmarked for the underground utilities and infrastructure and there is nothing in writing on who is going to pay for it.
most likely yonkers residents will get stuck with it if it not in writing with all the i and T's checked. we already have a yonkers income tax and nothing to show for it, since the city has been chronically mismanaged.
the developer over at ridge hill just screwed the union guys that he had fill the meeting halls and push for a YES vote on that project. After all that union support the developer has reneged and hired non union labor.

1189 warburton to submit a proposal
just got this from rccy
"Good Morning,
The owners (and their attorney, Al DelBello) of the homes at 1189 Warburton Ave are scheduled to present a proposal to demo the homes at 1189 Warburton Ave and replace them with a 43 unit complex at the next Planning Board meeting - this Wednesday - September 10th.
The meeting is scheduled to start at 5:30 pm but bear in mind that 1189 Warburton Ave is the 15th item on the agenda.
I encourage all of you to attend as it appears the developers will be requesting a number of significant variances that are likely to impact us all.
Thank you,
Mike Hertz

jfk marina /alexander street master plan
I still have not seen the final approved GEIS that the city council was going to vote on august 7. The city council meeting was canceled.
I still have not been able to find out what plan they are going to approve.
In a nutshell, the original plan will severely impact our neighborhood and quality of life.
The alexandar street master plan plan calls for the building of 6828 parking spaces about one mile from our building.
The plan also calls for building of 423,000 sq feet of mixed-use commercial-retail reachable via the JFK marina drive.
Northern Warburton, Odell avenue, and Executive Blvd were not included in the traffic study for this project.

new free memo service JOTT
there is anew service that has come out of beta, there is still a free part of it they may be good for the building and neighborhood.
basically you join JOTT via their home page, it is free.
i have established a group called onehawleyterrace.
i think once you join the service i can add you to the group, you decide what number or email is used.
i use grand central another free service, that gives a free number that you can use to direct your phone calls.
once jott member become a member of one hawley terrrace, they can txt or email everyone in the group.
i was thinking of using this for times when someone smells smoke and is wandering around the building trying to see if it is outside or inside, everyone that is part of the group would get the message.
it could be used for a lot of building or neighborhood things.
it might be a way to stop the car break ins.
JOtt was free , but now the free portion is limited so i don't know how well it will work out, only way to find out is to try

anyone able to figure out the bus schedule?
i find the bus schedule rally hard to figure out.
sometimes i see a posted stop time but the bus is only going to the hastings-yonkers border. i would like to take the bus more, anyone figure out the schedule?
hastings and tarrytown would be my most frequent destination.
going south to Getty square would also be an option instead of the train,

security
neighborhood is changing and security is a more important issue, we need to be proactive to avoid problems. the camera we have now will only give an idea of what happened.
the laundry room and garage area are traps with no way for a resident to notify someone if there is trouble.
i don't know what the answer is but we need to be aware.

join in
i started this blog as an aid to communicate in the building so please leave comments.
As always keep them civil.
Part of being a good neighbor is respecting your downstairs neighbor and side neighbor as best as possible.
sometimes we don't realize how far our sounds travel,i didn't.
throw rugs and runners can really help quiet the place down.
myself i am looking at modular carpeting for my bedroom, i only need the carpeting on the circumference of the bed since that is the only area i walk.

welcome to one hawley terrace
i have lived in this building for about 28 years and i have never seen this level of non communication and lack of neighbor mingling.
i am not sure what is the cause but hopefully this blog will open up some communication from neighbors.
i am a big believer in crowd sourcing and using the internet to learn and communicate.
As a person who has spent too many days incapacitated and recovering from surgeries, i know how fortunate i am that i was able to start communicating via the Internet in 1995 .
i have been trying to spend more time outside on the terrace to meet my neighbors and find out what has been going on in the building.
not everything i have heard has been positive, but i hope with more open communication these things can change around for the better.
i hope i don't eat my words!
