Residents of the area around the proposed cannabis cultivation facility in Calverton are letting their concerns be known. Many attended the planning board meeting on Nov. 6, requesting a 90-day window to research and review information relating to the new construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The residents are concerned about having a cannabis growing operation in proximity to where children reside and where elderly people with respiratory illnesses may be exposed to odors. They also worry that the facility will precipitate a loss of property values and impact the environment. Other issues include increased traffic and noise pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re simply stating that it is a poor location, considering what has developed around that family farm,\u201d said Toqui Terchun, president of the Greater Calverton Civic Association<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A network of representatives have stood in for the applicant, Brother Bear Canna of Syosset, in both meetings with the town and an information session held at Windcrest East, a development that neighbors the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve never seen an owner stick a face in there and say, \u2018Hey, I’m going to be your neighbor.\u2019 And are those owners going to be the operators? And if they’re not, who are those people? So fundamentally, this doesn’t feel like a neighbor,\u201d said Ms. Terchun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diane Gaudiosi, Windcrest East<\/a> resident, has been vocal about the potential impacts of the growing operation on her community. She is on the team representing the 126 senior households in Windcrest. Many of the residents are in their \u201980s and \u201990s, with one who has reached 106 years old: Ms. Gaudiosi\u2019s mother, who lives with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Gaudiosi said that many of her neighbors are living with serious respiratory illnesses and that the impact of marijuana odors is not well understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of the seniors here have emphysema, COPD [and] asthma. Absolutely no health study has been done on the impact of cannabis odors on seniors with respiratory disease,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor is the buffer of woods the applicant plans to leave between the new facility and the residential area. The patch of trees may provide cover in the summer months, but for most of the year, the building will be visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are only about 12 feet of trees between their property and our senior community. And during the winter, when trees lose their leaves, residents will have an unobstructed view of a monstrous industrial factory building,\u201d said Ms. Gaudiosi. \u201cThe remaining area consists mainly of scrub oak and grass, but the applicant site plans suggests that a dense line of trees exists between the properties, which is very misleading.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Terchun agrees, noting the environmental cost of running such a large, 24\/7 operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey call it a greenhouse, but it really looks like a warehouse. It doesn’t look like a greenhouse. And it has an electrical system, HVAC system [and] water. They all have power requirements. Those things are going to be of particular concern, because those impacts are potentially great,\u201d Ms. Terchun said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the building makes its proximity to the residences an issue when it comes to reselling. Also, it would be difficult, if not impossible, for many of the seniors to relocate at this stage of their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor people to come and wanting to buy homes here, they’re going to ask, \u2018What is that monster structure over there?\u2019 and they’re not going to buy. Our values will go down, and our retirement savings will go down,\u201d said Ms. Gaudiosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Levy, property manager at Foxwood Village, another of the local developments, voiced his concerns at the planning meeting. He had many of the same concerns, citing noise, traffic and a drop in property values.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy company said that I can go take a drive. I want to personally go and smell, and listen, and get a feel for it. Because if I go there and there’s nothing, it’s an agricultural use, I get it,\u201d said Mr. Levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, residents want to continue living in the type of environment they have now, where the rural character of Calverton is preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s not like they bought next to an airport and now they want the airport to close,\u201d Mr. Levy said. \u201cThey bought in a farm type area, you know, a very rural area.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
