Residents of Amsterdam Rd. and Jennifer Rd. went before the Board of Zoning Appeals Tuesday evening to ask the board to “not” grant the special exception and eight variances being requested by Prisco Realty, LLC for property located at 927 West Jericho Turnpike in Smithtown.  According to residents, Reliable Tree Service has been operating illegally at the site for almost a decade creating a situation detrimental to their quality of life. The problem, according to residents, is the result of the removal of a buffer and trees which sheltered the residential area from the operation of the commercial business.  In addition to the visual blight seen by homeowners on the two streets, neighbors complained of odors emanating from the illegal storage of mulch on the site. They expressed concerns over future environmental degadation of the site due to car storage on an unpaved surface. Linda Jablonsky, a resident living on Amsterdam, presented a petition from 129 neighbors in the area of Jennifer and Amsterdam Roads objecting to Prisco’s proposal.
