Mohegan Lake Legal Defense Fund

History of this site

This site was originally set up to fight 3 of 5 zoning variances proposed by the FBC development at Sagamore Trail and Mohegan Ave that eliminates two single family homes while nearly quadrupling the parking and occupancy loads of the old Lakeland Jewish Center. That effort failed and the application is currently before the Planning Board.

While Save Mohegan Lake will continue to update you on that issue, we are moving on to all issues affecting the lake, such as Mohegan Lake Improvement District (MLID) meetings, agenda and budget. This site is not an official mouthpiece for MLID, but some updates will be provided on this site; the official site is located here.

We do it all here, so long as it's Mohegan Lake related. Feel free to submit comments, content, garage sale notices, police blotters, PSA's, essays on the virtues of our 105 acre ice rink, rants, raves, etc... We love it all.

This Is Cute

(Click on image below to embiggen)

Six property owners were notified of the developers application before the Yorktown Zoning Board of Appeals

Please note that 3 of property owners adjacent to the sites to be redeveloped are The Town of Yorktown and the Town of Yorktown Parkland, all c/o Town Attorney, Jeannette Koster).

2 of the notified, interested parties were single family homes; my house and one other.

The last one notified was "Mohegan Vista Properties."

I propose an amendment to the Town Code to allow applicants for Zoning and Planning Board to notify the Town Attorney in a single mailing. This will cut down on paper waste and mailing costs to the applicant.

I am going to confirm with the Town Assessor that ALL adjacent properties were duly notified of the application, in accordance with the Town Code. Will keep you posted.
