Residents of Manorhaven took to a public forum to voice growing frustrations over a proposed development project in their village.

What began as complaints about one building have now sparked broader calls for change.

During the forum, pointed remarks were aimed at the village’s mayor and board of trustees.

“We have trusted you. If you vote in favor of this project… you are voting against the will of this community. You are voting against us, the people,” said Christian Hommerich, of Manhasset Isle, Manorhaven while speaking at the podium during the forum.

The room was packed with community members opposing the mixed-use project proposed at 30 Sagamore Hill Drive, a building that would have 49 residential units.

A vote on the site plan is expected next week. If denied, it could delay the development, which residents say is their goal.

“What do we get when you approve these types of units? Think about the people who live here, pay these taxes, the people that elect you,” said Roy Schneider, of Manorhaven.

Residents say they are particularly concerned given that another residential building recently went up across the street.

“You can develop things; you don’t have to overdevelop. That’s always been our thing. We have no problem with developing,” said Sherry Denn, who has lived in Manhasset Isle, Manorhaven for more than 35 years.

Traffic, strain on the school system and sewage infrastructure were all top concerns.

No residents spoke in favor of the project at the forum. However, the developer’s attorney assured the crowd their voices were being heard.

“We’ve been listening, we are listening. Many of the comments that were made tonight we’ve heard, and we are taking them into consideration,” said Philip Butler, attorney for Red Rock Homes LLC.

Several residents took it further, calling for a pause on all large-scale construction in the area until assessments and a long-term plan are put in place.

“We are requesting a full building moratorium on all buildings in the area, until they can come up with a plan,” said Thomas Plominski, of Manorhaven.

While some residents say they’re hopeful officials will respond to their concerns, others remain skeptical.

“They know what they’re doing. They’re not stupid. They’re siding with the developers over the citizens,” said Scott Stolzman, of Manhasset Isle, Manorhaven.

A vote on the site plan is set for next Wednesday, June 25. Both the developer’s lawyer and Manorhaven’s mayor declined an in-person interview.
