Town Sets Senior Housing Hearing
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
John W. Burke announced that
the Town Board will conduct a
public hearing Tuesday, August
10, to consider amending its
Senior Citizen Zoning Ordinance
to permit filing of applications
for such zoning on complexes
that the Oyster Bay Housing
Authority will manage, operate
or lease.
" Currently, the Housing
Authority is the only body that
can apply for the frl Zone and it
it will own," Burke explained.
" However, due to a change in the
federal program providing
funding for senior citizen com­plexes,
the Town Board will
consider permitting applications
to be made for the S- l Zone on
complexes where it is agreed that
the Housing Authority will
manage, operate or lease."
The amendment is
necessitated by the elimination of
the federal " turnkey" project
under which all current senior
fitintw housing in the Town has
been constructed. Under that
program, the complexes were
constructed with federal funds
and ownership was turned over to
the Housing Authority, an
autonomous agency.
In place of the " turnkey"
program, the federal govern­ment
is now providing for con­struction
of senior citizen housing
under Section 8 of the Housing
and Community Development
Act of 1074. Under this section,
ownership of the complex
remains in tilt hands of the
private developer of the complex
and the federal government
provides rent subsidies.
While indicating that he would
have preferred to see the " tur­nkey"
program continued, since
it has proven successful in
providing 595 units of senior
citizen housing in the Town,
Burke noted that " we must deal
with the reality of the new federal
program if we are to consider
meeting the needs of an existing
waiting Ust of 900 senior residents
