KNGG HISTORY

2005

(A Historical Outline)



 

February 20, 2005

Register-Star reported: KNGG attorney Jeff Baker said there has been no action on the Article 78 which was filed against the Town ZBA and Widewaters Nov. 1, 2004.

 

January 31, 2005

Because of problems pointed out by KNGG which occurred during the application process for Dunkin Donuts and Widewaters, the Town of Kinderhook Planning Board has proposed changes to the  (new) Town Code that would tighten controls in many areas of the code. Contradictions within the code would be sorted out with improvements made to the language.

Gala benefit overwhelming success: The heavy snowfall of the previous day and early morning didn't keep away a near capacity audience Sunday afternoon for our gala benefit concert at North Pointe. Unfortunately some ticket holders from other areas were prevented from attending. If they had made it, all seats would have been filled.

Robert Baksa’s music was beautifully performed by the musicians and well received. Baksa commented on each piece prior to its performance, often with comic overtones. One member of the audience mentioned to me, “Robert’s (Baksa) sense of humor comes out in his music.”

The concert review appeared in the Register-Star.  It may be seen on this site under GALA click on "Concert Review."

We thank Jock and Ally Spivy for their hospitality by inviting us to Fox Point and for their generosity in providing the reception. 

The Gala Reception at Fox Pointe, the home of Jock and Alexandra Spivy in the Village of Kinderhook was set in elegant, yet tastefully decorated early 19th century rooms.  The food served was well planned and beautifully prepared. The Champagne served was an excellent choice. We thank Jock and Ally for their generosity in providing the reception.

Everyone had a great time and the Gala was a financial success.

The Town Board reorganized the Corridor Study Committee.  Once again it was not funded. KNGG members appointed: Mark Litteken, Meg Moran, Dick Morrill. Once more KNGG requested a moratorium on commercial development until the study is complete and the Town has time to put into effect.
