At a meeting of the Bayview Civic Association on Oct. 28 which approximately 150 people attended, residents of Manhasset lodged vigorous protests against the proposed senior facility that is being considered by the Village of Thomaston. Thomaston is considering a proposal to rezone the property on the northeast corner of East Shore Road and Bayview Avenue. Approval of the rezoning would lay the legal foundation to allow for construction of a senior compound with 226 units comprising 265,000 square feet and rising above grade as much as six stories. The property was sold by North Hempstead to developer Robert Frommer who subsequently gave an option on it to Savoy Senior Housing. FULL STORY
