PUBLICANS from page 1
TD BANK from page 1
Steinbach, who still owns the Barefoot Peddler Pub in Greenvale, said some of the things he’ll miss most about the space would be serving “a lot of great people and a lot of good friends,” but he added that Peters and Heil would take good care of the future Publicans. “We’re going to miss it up there, but I think the new guys are going to do a great job,” he said. The new pub will feature a menu that Heil said would be “familiar, yet exciting,” and brick and distressed wood décor along with local ownership and employees. Publicans will offer up classic dishes of comfort food and cocktails while bringing back “a little bit of yesteryear in a spectacular new environment that will be sure to create a lasting, local buzz,” the owners said. Peters and Heil said they took the responsibility of bringing back the historic Publicans “very seriously” and new ownership there would be making sure to hire its 30 to 40 employees locally with the goal of carrying on the pub’s legacy, as well as paying respects to Edison’s as well. “We bought something bigger than just a business,” Heil said. “It’s a labor of love as well as a business venture, and we’re going to balance that out strategically.”
‘loss of a gas station that has in recent past provided most favorable gasoline pricing,’ the practicality is that it is virtually unfeasible for the town [of North Hempstead] to reject a bank from being able to lease what is already zoned as commercial property. Thus, I am pleased that TD Bank has thus far demonstrated its willingness to act on our collective recommended revisions.” Andrew Schwenk, member of the Greater Council, reported on the Town of North Hempstead’s meeting on Tuesday, July 13. “TD Bank brought a team to the meeting—lawyers, planners, architects, builders and an individual that was hired to perform a traffic study. Kathleen Deegan Dickson was making the presentation on behalf of TD and was walking the TNH Board through the presentation.” New drawings were present that incorporated the civic’s requests, including the green awnings over the windows and also, no “Open 7 Days” tagged on either the awnings or the buildings. Jim Pelzer from Norgate Civic Association asked about the impact on Norgate due to traffic flow exiting the bank, traveling west on Northern Boulevard. The traffic specialist assured everyone that the amount of cars exiting the bank would be substantially less than the current situation with the gas station. Commissioner David Levine informed those in attendance that the Town of North Hempstead Two proposed TD Bank design concepts Planning Board was
recommending a No Left Turn sign to be enforced from TD Bank exiting onto Plandome Road. The TD Bank team huddled up very quickly and came up with a compromise, suggesting that this condition would only be enforced during “prime peak hours.” Schwenk addressed the issue saying,” one of the reasons we moved the TD curb cut farther northward on Plandome Road was to assist those cars looking to make a left turn onto Plandome Road from the bank.” He continued, “this would add even additional traffic concerns to the residents of Norgate as those individuals looking to travel north back into Manhasset would have limited choices and would most likely choose to travel through Norgate.” Councilwoman Anna Kaplan agreed and steered the council so the board unanimously rejected the planning board recommendation and accepted the TD Bank proposal. Bentley added “the TONH, including Councilwoman Kaplan, Supervisor Bosworth and the town, have come a long way over the past several years in their efforts to encourage such projects engage community discussion through the Greater Council before the onset of the municipal process. That’s a huge change.”
