Today neighbors from the Margaret Drive neighborhood met with Ken Raymond to discuss the neighbors' concerns and problems with ongoing construction at the Maxwell Village site, including cracking walls and foundations, dust everywhere, shingles flying off roofs from unblocked winds, construction equipment starting up before 7 AM, and more.
Mr. Raymond was a half hour late, and no one from the town of Colonie attended. But about 35 residents from the Margaret Drive neighborhood were there, with bells on.
Mr Raymond stated that he will take care of everything that's his responsibility, which seems to mean the homes he's building and their associated landscape plans. However, he made no commitment to address these neighbors' house damages. In addition to the damages neighbors are experiencing, there is concern about the follow through on the planting of the promised buffer of new trees.
It is too bad Town officials were not there with the neighbors to hear about these concerns and issues and help.
Meanwhile, there is still no landscape plan with Mr. Finning & the Town, although construction continues at the site and no fines have been imposed.
