“Long Island communities deserve better.” Garden City – Retained by the Village of Flower Hill as special litigation counsel to review an application by ExteNet Systems Inc. to build 18 small-cell wireless facilities throughout the Village, Edward M.

Ross noted, “ExteNet’s application suffered from numerous inadequacies and was incompatible with the Village Code. The Board’s determination and findings should signal an alarm for every other Long Island municipality facing similar applications because Long Island communities deserve better.” Ross stressed that although Congress and the FCC have imposed certain limitations on the authority of state and local governments, local municipalities like Flower Hill continue to retain local control over wireless facility siting decisions with respect to aesthetic considerations, mitigation efforts and reasonable alternatives.

The Village of Flower Hill owns a Revolutionary War era cemetery on Country Club Drive just west of Port Washington Blvd. The cemetery is a mess with broken tree limbs, leaves and ivy covering the trees. To promote tree health the Village staff trimmed dead branches, pulling ivy off of the trees and doing a general clean-up of the area. We are honoring Arbor Day by continuing our Tree City USA tradition of holding an event to honor our trees.
The Village has installed new traffic devices throughout the Village to ensure the safety of everyone. Please do not drive distracted, at excessive speed and do not pass stopped school buses. Drive like your kids live here!
The Village of Flower Hill will observe Arbor Day 2018 by honoring the oldest tree in the Village at 9 am April 27, 2018.

This historic tree is located on Mason Drive at the intersection of Dartmouth Road in the Manhasset portion of the village. The Village is nominating this tree to be included in the New York State Big Tree Registry maintained by the Department of Environmental Protection, as we believe it is larger than the existing white oak in the registry, thus making it the largest in the state. We will be presenting a proclamation to Melissa and Chris Reale, on whose property the tree is located. They have been incredible stewards of this tree, investing thousands of dollars over the years for feeding, pruning and the like to maintain … Read more
