The recently-started grading work on the 10-acre lot on Holt Drive a/k/a/ Kay Fries Drive — where a Super ShopRite strip mall is proposed — surprised neighbors because they thought nothing should be done to the site until state Supreme Court in New City decides on the Article 78 proceeding filed by a group of residents against the town and the developer of the ShopRite mall, Crossroads.
William Sheehan, the town’s building inspector, said today that the developer indeed has not filed a final site plan for the project and did not have a building permit. But he said that it was allowed to do the grading work based on the permit issued late last year by then town engineer, Greater Hudson Valley Engineering & Land Surveying.

Maybe it’s me, but I would like to think that our leaders in Stony Point would at the very least require some sort of a “final plan” before allowing someone to start tearing up land next to location of an environmental disaster area. Simply amazing to me. To be perfectly honest, it worries me that developers are allowed to dig down into soil immediately adjacent to the former site of Kay Fries. I pray there is nothing dangerous in that soil…
