oseph T. Kirchhoff is building a new village, but he needs it to feel like an old one. It’s for that reason that the founder of the Pleasant Valley real estate development company that bears his name is spending a sunny Thursday afternoon guiding a Business Journal reporter and photographer through tall grass on a former Dutchess County dairy farm. Kirchhoff is angling for a better look at a nearly 200-year-old horse barn on the 80-acre property in the town of Poughkeepsie. The barn once provided refuge for 18th century travelers down the dirt road that is now Route 44. Today, the barn may represent the first actual building for what will become Eastdale Village — a $90 million planned community that will eventu-

Hot dog! A classic business comes to White Plains BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

f you hear them saying “hot dog” in White Plains, it could be because they’re excited or it could be because they’re placing an order at Walter’s Hot Dogs at 186 Mamaroneck Ave., or maybe both. The Westchester food institution, located in a Chinese pagoda-style building on Palmer Avenue in Mamaroneck since 1928, has opened a location in White Plains. In 2017, Walter’s opened its first eatery outside of Mamaroneck in Stamford, Connecticut. Its hot dog truck has been a common sight around Westchester for years. Walter Warrington first began selling the split-in-half dogs, grilled in a “secret sauce” and served on a toasted bun with a proprietary mustard, relish and spices, in 1919. The fourth generation of the Warrington family now operates the business. The White Plains location was designed to seat 50 people both indoors and outdoors. Katharine Wa r r i n g ton Wo o dw a rd , great-granddaughter of Walter, was among the family members attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Aug. 28 to mark the for-

mal opening of the Mamaroneck Avenue store. She handles public relations for the business and said that the White Plains location should help reach new customers. The White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District was represented at the event by Brittany Brandwein. White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach used a giant pair of scissors to cut an extrawide red ribbon. In addition to its classic split hot dog, Walter’s features a Puffy Dog, which is a hot dog topped with two smashed potato puffs, Funnel Cake Sticks topped with powdered sugar and homemade Italian ices. Despite the recent closing of the Walmart store on Main Street in White Plains, Roach was upbeat about the prospects for downtown when interviewed by the Business Journal. He said the opening of Walter’s was “just another indicator about how people want to be a part of this city. We’re growing every day, I’m cutting ribbons all the time, new projects (are) coming in.” Roach said that projects already underway and additional proposals in the pipeline to develop new apartment buildings in the downtown will help retail as well. “The reality that we came

Regarding Walter’s, Roach said, “We’re proud to have this iconic Westchester business choose

White Plains. They’ve done a great job with the store highlighting the historic nature of the business in this very new and modern space.” In 2017, Walter’s and the Warrington family were honored by Westfair Communications, publisher of the Westchester County Business Journal, Fairfield County Business Journal and WAG magazine, with a FamilyOwned Business Award.

In Court

BY BILL HELTZEL

omeowners at The Landing at Dobbs Ferry found a way to minimize the impact of a new federal tax law last year by converting their homes to condominiums. But when they tried to make the conversion to save about $1 million a year on property taxes, local government officials and the New York state attorney general, they claim, thwarted their plan. On Aug. 20, the homeowners’ association sued Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood in Westchester Supreme Court to compel her to recognize The Landing as condominiums. Underwood and Assistant Attorney General Constance Leperides, the homeowners allege, have been working in concert with local government officials “to obfuscate and delay the conversion process to prevent the Landing from being recognized as a condominium in time to receive the favorable tax treatment that motivated its conversion.” Underwood responded through her spokeswoman, Rachel Shippee. “It’s a shame that the association is trying to muddy the waters by involving us in its dispute with the town,”

Dobbs Ferry homeowners group sues AG over condo conversion Shippee said in an email. “We reject their claims and will continue to fulfill our statutory responsibility to protect New Yorkers.” The Landing is composed of 103 homes in 36 buildings built in the late 1990s to 2003. Last year, the homeowners decided to respond to a new federal tax law that capped state and local tax deductions. Their properties were being taxed as single-family homes based on their fair market or resale values. Converting from a homeowners’ association to condominium would make the homes taxable at a lower rate. They would save about 40 percent on property taxes, averaging nearly $10,000 per home. The village of Dobbs Ferry and town of Greenburgh would collect about $1 million a year less or have to shift the tax burden to other property owners. The homeowners, after

John Noonan of White Plains sued Greenfield, Wisconsin-based Everbrite LLC for $1.4 million on Aug. 10 in White Plains federal court. “Due to Everbrite’s negligence,” the complaint stated, Noonan’s “employment with his then-current employer was involuntarily terminated.” Kevin Soule, Everbrite’s

five months of discussions, deliberations and communications, approved the plan unanimously. In March, Elefante & Persanis LLP asked the attorney general’s Real Estate Finance Bureau for a “no action” letter, confirming that The Landing was not required to file an offering plan. Offering plans are required, the complaint stated, when condominium units are sold to firsttime owners. Units in The Landing had been sold and resold for two decades. The attorney general is bound by its own precedent, the complaint stated, because it had granted a no-action letter in 2016 to Fairway Green in Mamaroneck under similar circumstances. Instead, the attorney general’s office denied the request for a no-action letter on April 23. The following day, government officials from

Greenburgh and Dobbs Ferry met and discussed The Landing in a meeting that was videotaped and posted on Greenburgh’s website. An official seems to say that someone in the attorney general’s office was purposely unclear and unforthcoming to The Landing about what was needed, according to a transcript of the meeting. “So I think that’s been taken care of for this year,” an unidentified official said. “So they will not get their condo conversion.” The discussion shows that local and state officials were working together to block the conversion, the complaint stated, in “what appears to be illegal, concerted conduct evidencing a misuse of official powers for improper purposes.” The goal, according to the lawsuit, was to delay the process to give the town time to enact a law that would prevent preferential tax treatment for condo conversions.

The Landing was also facing a May 1 deadline to have its status as a condominium certified by the town tax assessor. But the assessor, the complaint stated, refused to do so. The lawsuit does not name the village, town or any local officials as defendants. As the May 1 deadline approached, attorneys for The Landing went back to the law books. They discovered, the complaint stated, that they could simply file a declaration with the county clerk. They would not need attorney general approval. The declaration was filed on April 30. The attorney general then allegedly tried to “undo” the conversion by demanding that the homeowners revote. The mandate is improper, the complaint claimed, because the homeowners’ association rules require only a two-thirds majority, and owners had already

offer that he accepted. Everbrite knew he had signed a confidentiality and noncompete agreement with Walton, Noonan claims, that specifically named Everbrite as off-limits. The Everbrite job was to begin after the noncompete expired or when Walton released him from the noncompete agreement. Noonan notified Gary Walton, owner of Walton

Signage, continued working for him and began discussing the noncompete. “Gary Walton assured Noonan he would not stand in his way,” Noonan’s lawyer, Christopher A. D’Angelo of Offit Kurman P.A. in Manhattan, said in the complaint. But for three weeks, Everbrite failed to provide the information Walton needed to release Noonan from the agreement.

On Aug. 23, Walton fired Noonan. Everbrite encouraged Noonan to continue pursuing a release from the noncompete, the complaint stated. Discussions resumed, and twice Noonan and Walton reached tentative agreements. Everbrite allegedly rejected the first deal and demanded changes. Then Everbrite notified Noonan

given unanimous approval. “This position constitutes a transparent, backdoor attempt to nullify the April 30th conversion,” the complaint stated, “and force a do-over.” Shippee said the attorney general’s office is protecting homeowners. “Our role here, as in all cases, is to ensure that homeowners understand the benefits and risks involved with any conversion to a condominium so that homeowners are aware of all potential impacts (from insurance to mortgages, ownership and more) before making such a critical decision.” “Nobody in The Landing,” the complaint stated, “wants the AG’s ‘protection.’” The Landing had entered into a “Twilight Zone,” the complaint stated, in which standard operating procedure no longer had any meaning. The homeowners’ association has asked the court to direct the attorney general to “stand down,” recognize its status as a condominium and provide the no-action letter. The Landing is represented by Andrew Schriever, Kempshall C. McAndrew and Troy Lipp of Cuddy & Feder LLP in White Plains.

New barbecue eatery opens in Yonkers BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

oody’s Bar-B-Q, a chain of southern barbecue restaurants, opened a new eatery at 1789 Central Park Ave. in Yonkers on Aug. 27. “I’ve always wanted to be a business owner,” said Kevin Tracy, the Long Island resident who owns the Yonkers franchise location. “I used to carry around a briefcase filled with drawings when I was 8 years old, just like my dad. That’s why I eventually got my degree in business

visa investment fund is suing the developers of the MetLoft Bronxville condominiums for $5 million, claiming the project is in default. The allegations, at first glance, are simple: The loan was guaranteed by the developers. Now that the project is in default, they must repay the loan. But the MetLoft developers are also embroiled in a messy series of lawsuits, bankruptcies and dueling allegations of fraud. The $5 million came from a fund operated by Advantage America EB5 Group in Manhattan, a firm that finances real estate projects with money from foreign nationals. Foreigners who invest $500,000 to $1 million in projects that create jobs in the U.S. can obtain EB-5 visas and permanent residency. Advantage America loaned $5 million to the condo project in 2015, according to the complaint filed this month in New York County Supreme Court. The loan was allegedly guaranteed by the developers: Donald F. Wellington, his daughter Kerry Wellington, her former husband Michael Yanko, and WY Hospitality

taxes. This can be very beneficial for highincome earners who anticipate being in a lower tax bracket during retirement. Examples of non-qualified plans include executive bonus, supplemental employee retirement plans (SERP), split-dollar life insurance, non-qualified stock options, and top-hat plans.

in Jacksonville, Florida, and the chain’s first restaurant was opened in 1980. Woody’s Bar-B-Q has more than 20 restaurants across New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Georgia and Florida, including a location in Nanuet. For more information, visit woodys.com.

MetLoft developers sued for $5M and Real Estate Group LLC in Nyack. The condos are being built in a former Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. records warehouse at 759 Palmer Road in Yonkers. The plan was to build 61 loft-style, luxury apartments with indoor parking, an indoor pool and a fitness center. But MetLoft, now known as EMC Bronxville Metropolitan LLC, defaulted on its loan obligations last year, according to the complaint. Attempts to reach a lawyer who has previously represented the developers for comment failed. On June 22, Thomas E. Haynes Architect in Yonkers, Werner E. Tietjen PE Consulting Engineers in Rye and Hall Heating & Cooling Service Inc. in White Plains petitioned bankruptcy court to force EMC into Chapter 7 liquidation. They claim EMC owes them nearly $202,000. That’s where the story gets complicated. Four days before that action, another group petitioned the court to force EMC Hotels & Resorts LLC, operator of the Time Nyack Hotel, into liquidation. The Wellingtons and Yanko also invested in that project. The petitioners in both bankruptcy cases are asking the court to appoint a trustee to protect their interests.

They claim that Edgar Melo Costa, “a known fraudster,” has taken over both projects. Court filings allege that Costa, a Portuguese national, claimed he had sold a private jet company for $450 million but actually owes $1.5 million to companies in Portugal “that he cheated out of money.” Costa, the court filings stated, is associated with Brent Borland, who allegedly brokered MetLoft’s EB-5 financing. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Borland in May for misappropriation of $6 million in an airport project in Belize. A trustee must be appointed in the MetLoft bankruptcy, the petitioners said, to protect creditors from Costa. Neither Costa nor Borland were named as defendants in Advantage America’s lawsuit. Costa has hired Mercury LLC, a Manhattan “highstakes public strategy firm,” to defend his reputation. “We work for Edgar Costa,” spokesman Chapin Fay wrote in an email, “who has been the target of a smear campaign by former business associates.” The PR firm claims that the Wellingtons mismanaged the condo and hotel projects and that Costa discovered “several instances of possible illegal activity” that contributed to the poor financial performance on the hotel project.

ROB BROWN Financial advisors consult with employers on various business strategies, including tax, insurance, investments, employee benefits, and employee retention. When it comes to employees, it is clear that good employees build meaningful relationships with customers, increase profitability, and give business owners more time to think strategically about the business. Equally clear is that many business owners are interested in improving employee retention, as the cost to acquire and train new employees is considerable – especially for employees that are key contributors. When it comes to employee retention, one of the biggest challenges for business owners is finding the right balance between traditional compensation, which is typically a base salary-plus-bonus structure, and deferredcompensation strategies, which incentivize employees to stay with the firm for a long time. In fact, many employers are not even aware how deferred compensation plans work, or how they can be used to improve employee retention. Deferred compensation plans typically fall into two categories.

QUALIFIED PLANS

These plans are pension plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and have strict rules to protect all employees. Examples of qualified plans include 401(k), 403(b), Simple IRA, SEP, profit sharing, and defined benefit pension plans – all of which allow for pre-tax contributions. This means that the employees are not paying taxes until they start withdrawing funds during retirement, and the employer can deduct the contribution as a business expense. It has become status quo for a business to offer a qualified plan as part of a benefits package, and most do; those that do not, might find employee turnover to be a challenge.

NON-QUALIFIED PLANS

These plans are much less common. Nonqualified plans are generally reserved for highincome and/or key employees. Employers can choose to exclude certain employees, providing additional benefits for a select group of employees, or a single person. For example, if an employer has 100 employees, a core group of five key executives could receive the non-qualified plan rather than the entire company. Compared to qualified plans, non-qualified plans allow executives to defer a much larger portion of their compensation on their income

Employers should know that both qualified and non-qualified plans could have a “vesting” feature built into the plan. In this case, employees who receive an employer contribution do not immediately own the benefit; only a percentage of the contribution will transfer over a pre-determined period. If they leave the company prematurely, they forfeit non-vested benefits. For key executives with meaningful, non-qualified deferred compensation, the forfeiture provisions can act as an incentive – sometimes referred to as a “golden handcuff ” – to continue working for the employer. When it comes to establishing a qualified or non-qualified plan, employers should consider a number of issues, including: • Does the business have to contribute money every year? (What happens if the business has a bad year?) • Can the corporate balance sheet reflect the cash used to fund the strategy? • What are the current and future tax benefits? • What types of investments and funding vehicles are available? • What are the costs to establish and administer a plan on an annual basis? • Are my key employees interested in deferring compensation? • Will this program help with employee retention? There are a many design options for qualified and non-qualified plans. Each design has specific rules to follow, different levels of retirement income benefits for employees, and various funding requirements for employers. Business owners should be aware that there are many options worth considering. Answers to questions like the ones above help advisors understand business objectives, and focus on appropriate plan designs. Working with a financial advisor can help business owners establish an impactful plan, with which they can be comfortable.

ally include 390 apartments and more than 120,000 square feet of retail space. Construction crews broke ground in August, with the hope of wrapping up in about five years. The goal, as Kirchhoff described it, is to create a Main Street-style village. One that gives that cozy feel of a Northeastern town built over decades, but still offers the amenities of new construction. The barn has a role to play in that, despite some wear and tear. Wood panels are missing, as is the glass from most of the windows. But Kirchhoff described the barn’s potential as a show-stopping mailroom and fitness center at the base of the village green. “The cheap thing would have been the excavator” to demolish it, he said. Instead, it will be restored and showcased. “You’ll walk in and see the planks and the beautiful old chestnut beams with wooden pegs,” he said. “There’s these rolling arch-top doors that we’re restoring and reusing.” The hope for that aesthetic, as he described it, is to help the community feel authentic. It’s a word he refers to often while describing the goals of the project. Eastdale Village could eventually deliver hundreds of new residents, while creating jobs through medical offices and small retailers that take advantage of the 18,000 cars Kirchhoff said pass daily on Route 44. An important aspect of that effort is making the community feel like the type of walkable, historic village that appeals to both the baby boomer and millennial generations. “If it’s done well and it’s authentic,” he said, “like it grew organically over time, like you’d see in Rhinebeck, or some other area built over 70 or 80 years, we feel this has a very good shot to be incredibly successful.”

MIX OF BUILDINGS AND OPEN SPACE

Kirchhoff Cos. is developing the project along with partners Christopher C.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2018

Dyson and David Silver. The same week Kirchhoff met with the Business Journal to discuss Eastdale Village, the company was opening a new storage facility in Miami. Kirchhoff estimated his company is involved in about $310 million in development work throughout the country. The fully integrated company’s portfolio spans student housing, medical office space, retail centers and multifamily apartment buildings. But Eastdale Village is likely the largest development and ownership undertaking in his company’s 30-year history, he said. It’s believed to be the largest construction project in the town since the Poughkeepsie Galleria mall opened in 1987. The construction will span adjacent sides of Route 44. Eastdale Avenue, the village’s “Main Street,” will connect the two sides with tree-lined roads in either direction featuring benches and bike racks. In renderings, two- and three-story commercial buildings, some with upper level apartments, line the avenue with glass storefronts and colorful awnings. “It’s not going to be national brands, it’s going to be more regional brands, local brands that are into food and beverage and shopping boutiques,” Kirchhoff said about the Main Street retail. “It will have that type of feel that people will want to walk and dine and hang out, listen to music with an ice cream cone,” he added. The property’s major tenants will include a 30,000-square-foot medical office building — operator to be announced soon — as well as a bank and childcare center for the village’s employees and residents. The project site involves about 60 acres of the 80-acre property Kirchhoff holds. About 21 acres on the east side will remain undeveloped to form a new park along Wappinger Creek. The company also plans to limit development to about 35 acres of the 60-acre project site, leaving the rest as open green space. There’s a central “village green” on the west side of the property, surrounded

The goal, as Kirchhoff described it, is to create a Main Street-style village. One that gives that cozy feel of a Northeastern town built over decades, but still offers the amenities of new construction. by the apartment buildings, that will feature a pool, playground, small retail kiosks and a picnic area, with a community garden nearby. Residents can let their canine companions loose at a dog park on the southwest corner of development. On the east side, a smaller green space will feature a playground of its own. A community garden, open lawns and patio seating areas will buffer the buildings there as well. The 390 residential units, all for rent, will be split into three different styles. On the outer edges of the property near Route 44, plans call for a mix of two- and three-bedroom townhome style units. Toward the center on both sides of the property, the developers are planning a mix of three-story apartment buildings and three-story walk-up style apartment buildings. There

are also live/work style apartments above parts of the Eastdale Avenue retail space. About 1,100 parking spaces will be dispersed throughout the site for residents and shoppers.

RENTER-BY-CHOICE

With Eastdale Village more than 3 miles from the Poughkeepsie train station, Manhattan and other rail commuters are likely to be a small part of the residents for the village. Kirchhoff envisions a mix of potential residents weighted at one end by recent college graduates who received jobs in the area, and empty nesters on the other who are downsizing but looking to stay close to home. Eastdale should have the right space for any “renterby-choice,” as described by Kirchhoff as people able to buy a home, but more inter-

ested in a renter’s lifestyle. “They don’t want to deal with the snow, the ice, the lawn maintenance and they don’t want to worry about pressure washing the house or fixing the roof,” he said. “The rental product has to come up to the demand of that renter-by-choice.” Kirchhoff pointed to Vassar Brothers Medical Center’s $545 million expansion under construction, and its shift to a teaching hospital, as a sign of jobs to come. Vassar College, along with the Culinary Institute of America and Marist College, also bring educators, administrators and students to the area looking for housing as well, he said. And for both residents and retailers, Kirchhoff said that Main Street, town center-style locations can be difficult to find in most parts of the county. “Besides some pockets

in Fishkill and Rhinebeck, the rest of the commercial space is on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie,” Kirchhoff said. “So when you get toward the east side of Poughkeepsie, all along this 44 corridor, there aren’t a lot of places to dine and shop.” The project is expected to generate $35 million in payments between the local Arlington school and fire districts, town of Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County through a 20-year payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement. Through the deal, the developer is committed to reaching at least 88 permanent jobs on site, though the retail, office and dining portions of the campus could generate up to 300. There’s also an estimated 300 construction jobs over the fiveyear build out. Kirchhoff Cos. is also funding more than $5 million in improvements for Route 44 and nearby roads. That includes adding adaptive signal control to more than 23 intersections in the town. The technology will adjust to traffic patterns to prevent backups. Early construction will focus on the property’s west side. The developers hope the first tenants arrive on site in fall 2019.

civic group’s challenge to the approval of a new French-American School of New York campus at the former Ridgeway Country Club in White Plains has been dismissed in state Supreme Court. A 26-page decision from state Supreme Court Judge Joan B. Lefkowitz on Aug. 24 rejected an argument from a neighborhood group that the city did not follow required procedure in reviewing the development proposal. FASNY received approvals from the White Plains Common Council last year to build a 640-student school for grades six through 12 on part of a 129-acre property previously home to the country club. But that approval was challenged in court months later in a lawsuit led by the Gedney Association, a group representing the adjacent Gedney Farms neighborhood, against the city’s common council and FASNY. Part of the lawsuit’s argument against the project’s approval focused on a covenant added to the deed of the

SEPTEMBER 3, 2018

Judge dismisses lawsuit challenging FASNY school approval property when it was sold to become a golf course in 1925. The covenant contained language, the plaintiffs argued, prohibiting the use of the property for “any institution, other than a club.” The common council, the neighbors then argued, failed to consider that covenant in its review of the school. In denying that claim, Lefkowitz noted that courts will only enforce covenant restraints if their “existence has been established with clear and convincing proof.” If there’s ambiguity, a covenant should be interpreted to its limit, rather than extended by the court. The deed’s covenant does specifically restrict certain uses, such as the manufacture and sale of alcohol, medical and psychiatric treatment facilities, and homes for the “poor and destitute.” But there is no specific mention of educational facilities. The neighbors argued that a later line in the covenant prohibiting “any noxious, offensive, undesirable or dan-

WCBJ

gerous trade, manufactory or occupation or any nuisance whatsoever” should also be interpreted as a prohibition on the school. Lefkowitz described that language as vague and subjective, requiring interpretation in “favor of the free use of land.” An educational facility does not constitute a noxious use on its own, Lefkowitz said. In a footnote, the judge added that courts have previously found educational facilities to have a beneficial impact on their communities. The case represents just the latest in an eight-year legal saga surrounding FASNY’s proposal. FASNY bought the defunct golf course in 2010 for $11 million. A year later, the school came to the city with its original, $60 million plan to consolidate its three Westchester campuses on the site. The original plan would have covered students from preschool through 12th grade and include a 78-acre public park maintained by the

school. The proposal has faced steady opposition from some city residents, led by the Gedney Association. The association represents about 450 households in the Gedney Farms neighborhood near the golf course. The group first challenged the city’s review of the project in court in 2014, but its Article 78 appeal was ruled not legally ripe by Lefkowitz, as the city had not yet reached a decision on the FASNY proposal. The next legal showdown came between FASNY and the city. The school challenged the city’s review process in state Supreme Court in September 2015, a month after the common council rejected a motion to close a part of Hathaway Lane near the property. The road closing was required as a mitigation measure in an environmental impact statement previously approved by the council. In April 2016, Lefkowitz, again presiding over a

FASNY-related case, accused the council of waging a “war of attrition” through a protracted review process. In November 2017, the city approved the scaled-back proposal from FASNY, which came from a legal settlement. The plan decreased the number of students from the original 950 to a maximum of 640 and limited students to grades six through 12. The approval included a 15-year moratorium on any expansion of school facilities on three parcels of the property not used by the campus. The latest decision from Lefkowitz rejected a series of claims questioning the validity of the common council’s review of the project. The neighbors argued that the city engaged in improper segmentation of the school’s environmental review by failing to consider the cumulative effect of all potential stages of development. While school construction is only permitted on one of the property’s four parcels, the neighbors argued FASNY will

eventually pursue its initial plan to consolidate all of its schools onto the single campus. The judge called this “rank speculation based on hypothetical circumstance,” noting that FASNY had agreed to a 15-year moratorium on developing any other part of the campus. The lawsuit also argued that the city did not consider a traffic report from a Gedney expert that conflicted with the traffic impact findings from FASNY’s experts. Lefkowitz said the city did make the Gedney report part of the public record. While conducting an environmental review, Lefkowitz said, an agency has “discretion to choose between conflicting experts.” A Gedney Association representative did not respond to a request for comment. FASNY officials heralded the decision in a statement released to the media on Aug. 26. “Judge Lefkowitz’s decision confirms that the courts will sustain environmental reviews that are the product of a careful and comprehensive review of the issues,” said FASNY attorney Michael Zarin.

Half Moon Bay lawsuit pits marina against condos BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

simmering dispute between the directors of the Homeowners’ Association of Half Moon Bay in Croton-on-Hudson (HOA) and the marina dockmaster has spilled over into court. Steven Plotkin, dockmaster and co-owner of a condominium unit, is suing the association’s directors for $1 million in Westchester Supreme Court, claiming he is not being allowed to use a swimming pool and clubhouses.

Their motivation, he claims in the complaint, is “a desire to retaliate against the marina and anyone associated with it because the marina challenged the HOA board’s authority.” The lawsuit also charges two board members individually — Linda O’Neill and Eugene Kim — and the management company, Heritage Management Services Inc. in Somers. Attempts to reach them for comment were unsuccessful. Half Moon Bay is south of Senasqua Park, along Haverstraw Bay on the Hudson. The HOA represents four groups: three condo-

miniums composed of clusters of buildings with 278 apartments, as well as the marina “dockominium” with 173 boat slips. Common areas include two clubhouses, two swimming pools and tennis courts. Marina and condominium representatives have disagreed over the years about how costs and fees should be allocated. Last year, for instance, the marina sued the HOA over a new policy that limited access to association records by the two marina directors and blocked them from voting on some issues. In that case, Supreme Court Justice Sam D.

Walker ruled on June 29 that all board members need unfettered access to the records to fulfill their fiduciary obligations and that the two marina representatives have the right to vote on all matters. “There has never been separate residential or marina powers,” Walker wrote, “because the HOA board makes all decisions collectively.” In the new lawsuit, Plotkin claims that the board is still pressuring marina representatives in order to “obtain leverage” in future negotiations over the marina’s assessment for common charges. Steven Plotkin and his brother Brian own Sunset Condo II LLC, the owner of a condominium unit. Steven Plotkin’s wife, Stephanie, owns another unit, and her parents own a unit. Brian Plotkin is one of two marina directors on the board. In April, the board adopted a new swimming pool rule. Maria Elena DiBella, who was a party to the marina lawsuit last year, and Brian Plotkin were not allowed to vote. Only people residing at Half Moon Bay or guests accompanied by residents could use the pools, under the new rule. Steven Plotkin, as a corporate owner, was denied a pool badge. He claims that under the bylaws, corporate owners of apartments are entitled to access to common areas. The new rule did not define residency, Steven Plotkin claims, and was applied selectively. Attorney Peter Schuyler of Kitson & Schuyler PC in Croton-on-Hudson said in the complaint that at least 30 apartments are owned by corporate entities, but Plotkin is the only corporate owner the rule has been applied to. For instance, a board member who is a longtime critic of the marina got a pool pass, even though she does not own her unit, the complaint states. Another board member, who lives in Florida for much of the year, got a pool pass. Nannies have been issued pool passes. Steven Plotkin depicts the pool policy as part of a “coordinated campaign of harassment against the marina” to divest nonresidential owners of their rights. He claims that Kim uses the Hudson House clubhouse as a de facto personal office in violation of an association rule and has challenged Plotkin in front of visitors, stating that he was not allowed to be there without Kim’s permission. Plotkin is asking the court to declare that anyone who owns an apartment through a limited liability corporation be given access to all community facilities, as well as to award him $1 million in damages. In his June opinion about the previous lawsuit, Walker wrote, “It is unfortunate that the relationship between the HOA members have degraded to the point where it seems to threaten the management structure of the entire condominium development.” He offered the court’s assistance in “getting to the bottom of these troubling issues.” The board has appealed his ruling.

How to create tailored job descriptions

30th Anniversary Westchester Real Estate Awards Breakfast

TITLE SPONSORS

SEPTEMBER 3, 2018

WCBJ

We’re wrestling with how to specifically tailor job descriptions to each individual, so we’ll know exactly what we would want people to handle. Feels like a lot of work. Want people to accept and embrace the results. Want to be as clear as possible about what’s expected. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Create a map of the organization. Get employees involved in customizing templates. Lay out requirements. Remember to refer back to job descriptions when it comes time for reviews. Most jobs in a single department have a lot of commonalities, so start with an overall description of what’s required for people who work within each discipline of the business. Do that by writing up a template for each group of jobs: sales, marketing, operations, human resources, finance, IT and so on. Human resources helps with recruiting, hiring, exiting and everything related to people in between. Finance predicts and tracks results and manages assets and liabilities. Sales and marketing feed the organization with new and expanded business opportunities. IT keeps everyone up to date with technology. Operations produces and delivers on the promises made to customers. Successful interaction between departments is as important as producing results within departments. Clarify who each department ultimately reports to. Lay out expectations for cross-supporting departments. Sales and operations should work closely together to ensure consistency among what is sold and what is delivered. Sales depends on marketing for leads and marketing needs input from sales to map out

Andi Gray

competitive strategies and define optimal approaches to vertical markets. Finance depends on forecasts from sales and marketing, translates that into expectations for operations delivery and upcoming hiring requirements, and keeps score on how well every department performs. IT provides tools and data for everyone. HR provides personnel and rules for how people work together and keeps everyone legal. For every department and position, build in goals, accountabilities and expected results. Focus on “what” more than “how.” Refer to the company’s annual and multiyear goals. Talk about how each department contributes to the company’s overall success. Include the intangibles as part of every job description, no matter what level or department: commitment to personal development, innovation, attitude toward success and collaboration. Define your company’s culture expectations. Using the appropriate department description, sit with each employee and manager to talk about individual activities and responsibilities. Get a picture down on paper of what each job looks like daily, weekly and monthly. Map out how an individual might progress from entry level to mastery within a position and within a department. Define the basic requirements a candidate must meet in order to get hired for specific departments

and positions within those departments. Look at the gaps between people who excelled and people who struggled. Identify skills, behaviors, education and life experiences that have contributed to others’ success in the same jobs and set those as requirements for future candidates. Use job descriptions in the hiring process. Make adjustments 90 days into the job, as you get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the individual you’ve hired. If possible, focus the job around the things your new employee is good at, with some developmental things to work on over the upcoming year. Do monthly check-ins on progress, providing feedback on what’s going well, what to focus on next. A year in, set aside time to review results formally. Ask employees to refer back to their job descriptions, providing written notes on successes and things to work on next. Follow up with a meeting to document results, making adjustments to the job description for the upcoming year. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

elements of that contract also will be used by the union in negotiating with individual companies that hire union workers and provide services such as cleaning to building operators. “For the tenants of the buildings, we do want them to know that our members care about them,” Friedlaender said. “We hope that the BRI will recognize that the next contract should maintain the level of benefits that have created a strong, stable culture of service among building workers, while keeping up with the region’s rising costs.” Attorney Matthew Persanis of the firm Elefante and Persanis in Eastchester is the BRI’s labor counsel and chief negotiator and has been representing the BRI in contract negotiations with 32BJ SEIU for 24 years. “In years past, we’ve had quite a bit of animosity, but in

the last few years we’ve had a chilling of the animosity and have established a good working relationship,” he told the Business Journal. “I think the major point for us is to increase productivity. We don’t have a problem offering health care (and) pensions to the men and women that work for it,” Persanis said, but added that the major issue is controlling the costs. In various industries, union workers who in the past have received health insurance coverage at no cost are increasingly being required to pay a portion of those costs. “Health care, as everyone

knows, increases dramatically every year. In this situation, the union members do not pay anything toward their own health care; it’s fully employer supplied, so the cost control of that is what we need to discuss,” Persanis said. Persanis noted that some outdated work rules from the 1940s were not removed from the contract with 32BJ SEIU until a few years ago and more fine-tuning is needed. “Obviously nobody burns coal anymore, burning of trash is illegal ... but we still have a ways to go. Today, everything is controlled by computers, the heating systems are computer driven and you need staff to work with those computers,” he said. His message to those across the table as negotiations continue while the Sept. 30 deadline draws closer: “Let’s get it done on time and on budget.”

ur world is changing. People are rising up to create that change. Hashtags such as #Keepfamiliestogether and #ItsUnAmerican helped to drive the reversal of an executive order. As social activists band together for change, so too do climate activists, building awareness that industrial processes and human consumption have caused extreme storms and rising temperatures. Everyday citizens are engaged in debating and defending their opinions of the U.S. political environment like never before. These citizens are our customers, and our customers are demanding change. Just as age-old business practices are no longer relevant as digitization and automation change the ways businesses manufacture, deliver and market goods and services, the ways we think about our businesses must change too. Businesses now require a thoughtfulness that is world-first, not we-first. Our companies must recognize that our customers will rise against us if they do not agree with our ways. Customers now care more about the environment, the climate and limiting waste.

s baby boomers retire, we’re witnessing the biggest transfer of wealth in American history. It’s a crossroads for family businesses: 43 percent do not have a succession plan, according to a 2016 National Bureau of Economic Research Family Business Alliance survey — and only 12 percent will pass on to a third generation. The root word for succession is succeed. An objective team, including your attorney, CPA and banker, can help you successfully plan for the next chapter in your business’ life, and avoid these common succession pitfalls.

Sustainable thinking They want a healthy planet and are responding to businesses that are mindful of the well-being of the world and all of its inhabitants. Now is the time to let sustainable thinking lead the decisions we make and begin to measure success in ways other than by our bottom lines. Here are three ways of sustainable thinking that business professionals can implement for leading the way towards a sustainable future for all:

SYSTEMS THINKING

All businesses are systems with their people, places and things wholly interconnected. Thoughtful analysis of these interconnections and their effects on outside systems is known as systems thinking. In business, systems thinkers understand the connections between all parts of their company and its supply chains. They know how their particular piece of the puzzle works with other puzzle pieces within their company, as well as how their company fits into larger regional, national and global markets

and systems. Systems thinkers look at every component of their business and how it will affect other systems. For instance, a systems thinker will consider the environmental repercussions of all material sourcing decisions made. A systems thinker may reconsider switching to a lower-priced synthetic material because they know the lower-cost material created from a petroleum byproduct and the extraction of petroleum is harmful to our earth. Systems thinkers understand the production of synthetic materials release gases into the atmosphere during production, causes poor air quality and know that what pollutes the air also poisons our water and all living creatures on the planet. Through systems thinking, corporate cultures can anticipate the effects of social inequality, declining natural resources, and climate change. Systems thinking generates resiliency and supports equity, and businesses that understand systems create and benefit from innovative, responsible practices. Systems thinkers measure

success by triumph in other systems as well as in their own. Cleaner air and water in overseas countries where your first-tier suppliers are located is considered beneficial. Systems thinking creates resilient corporate cultures, who compassionately understand the complexities of the many systems in which they belong. They can use that complexity advantageously, creating success for all. Moreover, systems thinkers are rewarded as people within those other systems appreciate their actions and spread the word. Systems thinking creates a positive buzz around a company like no other.

siders the community in which a business is based. When a company employs place-based thinking it considers the consequences of its practices and how those practices may impact the quality of life for the inhabitants of its community. The company commits to being a vibrant part of its community and not to harm its community with its practices. Place-based thinkers carefully and critically evaluate the well-being of the places in which their business operates and seek to bring resources to improve the quality of life for all in those places. For instance, a placebased thinker will reconsider switching from a local existing higher-cost supplier to an

PLACE-BASED THINKING

This type of thinking con-

out-of-region lower-cost supplier, as they understand the direct effects to the local company, community, and citizenry. A place-based thinker will consider that a local company with an active regional business positively affects their employees, who will, in turn, have more work hours and therefore more spending dollars to use for discretionary purchases to buy within their communities. Place-based thinkers see their business and their community in a closed loop system that sustains the well-being of both, and values and nurtures the local community in ways that companies focused on labor and resources in distant places cannot. No longer vulnerable to the whims of tariffs and trade negotiations, businesses that build a genuine connection to the local community create resilience, pride, and loyalty from the those in the local community. Also, nothing beats a loyal base.

STORY THINKING

Combining systems and place-based thinking gives businesses advantages and insights into the people and the resources of the places in which they operate. They Business, page 18

Avoiding succession pitfalls Pitfall #1: Procrastination means stagnation.

Why do so many family business owners hesitate to prepare for that chapter? Founders take pride in the enterprise they’ve created, as well as the quality of life they’ve provided for their employees and their families. They want to make sure any transition will continue to take care of the people who’ve helped make them successful. In a family succession, they want to be confident that the

new generation is ready to assume the reins. Sometimes, in the founders’ perfectionist eyes, they’re never fully ready. So they take a waitand-see approach before settling on a course of action. And family members may disagree on the business’ direction. To avoid emotional conflicts, owners sometimes kick the planning can down the road. For a number of reasons, owners sometimes have to find an outside buyer. They want someone who will

keep their business healthy for their loyal staff. A careful search takes time and that can delay crucial planning decisions. It’s wise to start planning for transition three to five years before your target date, working with that trusted team of advisers. In family discussions, they can keep egos and conflicting agendas in perspective. They can also vet an outside buyer’s qualifications, and sometimes even introduce the owners to solid prospects.

Pitfall #2: Valuation requires mediation.

The company’s value can be a stumbling block. If family members want to sell, they may have unrealistic ideas about how much they can get for their shares. They also may not want to disclose issues that might reduce the company’s value. Sometimes owners start retiring mentally before they actually leave. They become less engaged, and that can weaken the business’ future profitability — a hidden hur-

WCBJ

dle to a realistic valuation. Outside buyers want to be confident that the business’ cash flow can support the debt they’ll take on with the purchase. To keep a valuation fair, a bank will do its own independent appraisal when asked to finance the purchase of the business. A buyer or seller may want to engage their own valuation to help guide the advisory team as the parties negotiate a sale. (The last thing you want is someone who loves the idea of owning a restaurant or a day care center, but has no idea what it actually takes. That can threaten the security of Family business, page 18 SEPTEMBER 3, 2018

build symbiotic rather than parasitic relationships that are mutually beneficial, but these responsible and harmonious actions will not alone bring success. Businesses must engage and educate customers on their new ways of thinking by utilizing the power of the story. Story thinking requires living and telling a story that is different from what has previously been said. Without realizing, businesses have been telling exploitive stories, which have given wastefulness, polluting practices and low wages validity. Activities that disrupt those exploitative stories and live and tell new stories send strong signals for change. Story thinking involves discussing each

ing close attention to these stories; they’re not only looking at price tags. Tell the unique ways that your business thinks and operates and customers will take note of the story and appreciate your nurturing ways and be inspired to support you. Stories are critical to customer engagement. These ways of sustainable thinking will transform your company into an earth-friendly company. Implement new thinking into everything you do from concept creation, development, sourcing, manufacturing, and shipping, and celebrate your initiatives by telling these stories on boxes, buses, labels, and Instagram pages. Let the world know your company is concerned about more than profit. Let your customers know you’re part of the solution — not the problem. In turn, your

responsible business decision and detail. Customers enjoy being part of new journeys through what they buy, eat, drive, wear, and use. Think about unique ways to take them on those journeys with stories of sustainability. Stories help your customers connect with your brand. Most importantly, they will share your story. Craft your story and detail your systems and place-based decision-making processes. Explain your product or service from concept through delivery to their homes or offices. Discuss the materials you select, where they came from, why you chose them. Tell your customer who made your product and how you support them. Describe how you package, ship, think, and illustrate how you care about a sustainable future. Shoppers are pay-

bottom line will increase. Systems thinking, place-based thinking and story thinking are forward-thinking. So adjust your thinking and create new practices centered in an awareness of the world and all the people in it.

Pitfall #3: Succession means change, and change means risk.

No matter who takes over, they will have their own ideas. They may want to discontinue unprofitable lines, acquire new sources of revenue, modernize, add staff or buy property instead of renting. Those decisions can be rewarding, but also risky and costly. Any transition can put a crimp in available cash. Taxes and buyouts take their toll —and business cash flow is the No. 1 reason why businesses fail. Change often requires working capital and lines of credit. And that may lead to borrowing.

First, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) puts a federal guarantee behind 75 percent of the loan. That makes it much easier for a bank to approve the loan. Second, unlike most conventional bank loans, collateral does not always drive the approval in an SBA loan scenario]. The underlying cash flow of the business and the experience of the potential new owners is where the value of the SBA guarantee can alleviate much of the collateral risk, making it easier to approve. Third, SBA 7A Term Loans for acquisition lending offer a 10-year repayment period— they can be longer based on the historical cash flow, and longer than conventional bank loans of three to five years. That reduces your monthly payments, easing cash flow. Fourth, new owners can limit their down payments to as little as 10 percent of the purchase price, and in some scenarios have no down payment. There are no pre-payment penalties in loans with less than 15-year repayment periods. An experienced Preferred SBA Lender can move the process along faster, having expert knowledge of how the SBA works—and provide a higher level of support to businesses in transition.

Good Things Happening GIANT APE SIGHTED IN PLEASANTVILLE

The giant King Kong as he’ll appear on the stage of the Broadway Theatre.

Mitchell Wm. Ostrove

In the movie, King Kong climbed the Empire State Building and was attacked by airplanes.

If you saw a giant ape in Pleasantville recently, you must have been inside the Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC). That’s where the newest restored version of the original 1933 classic “King Kong” was screened before a packed house. After the film, some of the creative talent behind the new Broadway show “King Kong,” a musical version of the time-tested story, took part in a ques-

HEALTH CENTER WEEK OBSERVED There was a national campaign the week of Aug. 12-19 designed to raise awareness about the mission and accomplishments of America’s health centers and their staffs that work to bring health care to the medically underserved. Aptly called National Health Center Week, it was promoted by the National Association of Community Health Centers. In Mamaroneck, Open Door Family Medical Centers kicked off the week by offering free health screenings. Nationwide, health centers now serve more than 28 million patients according to federal data. They produce $24 billion in annual health system savings, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and visits to the emergency room and lower the cost of children’s primary care by approximately 35 percent. Health centers also are involved in helping deal with poor nutrition, mental illness, homelessness and substance use disorders.

tion-and-answer session about their production and the kind of effort it has taken to bring their vision of the cinema classic to the stage. The RKO picture, produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, created a sensation upon its initial release and played simultaneously at Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall and the Roxy. Its

place in film history was immediately assured. The film starred Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot, Robert Armstrong and, of course, Kong. Both the film and the new musical show follow the ambitious young actress Ann Darrow and maverick filmmaker Carl Denham as they voyage from the bustling streets of 1930s New York to an uncharted

island to capture the world’s greatest wonder. At the center of the theatrical reimagining, due to begin previews at the Broadway Theatre in October, is an on-stage, highly mobile, 20-foot high, 2,000-pound, hightech stagecraft gorilla. The presentation at the JBFC was part of its Life on the Stage series, presented in partnership with The Actors Fund. Joseph E. Nyre

Shelley Mayer, Assemblyman David Buchwald, WIHD Dental Director Dr. Pat Seagriff, Susan Fox, Assemblyman Tom Abinanti, County Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin and County Department of Social Services Commissioner Kevin McGuire.

The Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) has put its new Mobile Dental Clinic into service. The state-of-theart dentist’s office on wheels replaces an obsolete and aging van that had been used in WIHD’s programs to provide dental services to children and adults with disabilities throughout the region. The nearly 39-foot-long Winnebago

features two dental suites. In addition to dental chairs, there are hand-held X-ray equipment, a sterilizing lab, cabinets, stools and special wheelchair lift and door. The new mobile clinic was funded by a $376,826 grant WIHD received last year from the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program. In addition, WIHD received a donation of the X-ray unit from

the New York State Dental Foundation. Susan Fox, president and CEO of WIHD, said “Our new Mobile Dental Clinic will give us the ability to serve more individuals, provide more consistent and reliable scheduling of visits, and better meet the complex dental care needs of this population.” In addition to the clinic on wheels, WIHD operates a dental center in Valhalla.

The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center has announced that it will be honoring Joseph E. Nyre, president of Iona College and Mitchell Wm. Ostrove, founder and CEO of The Ostrove Group at its annual dinner. The event takes place Oct. 25 at the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club. The center notes that under Nyre’s leadership during the past seven years, Iona has seen record levels of scholarships, launched new academic programs and tripled the college’s endowment to $150 million. Ostrove serves on the center’s board of directors and has been active in a wide range of organizations such as the New Rochelle Police Foundation, the UJA-Federation and the Westchester Jewish Council. The principal speaker at the event is scheduled to be Elisha Wiesel, son of Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel. He is expected to talk about his father’s enduring messages and values. Ticket and information from Millie Jasper at 914-696-0738 or benefit@ hhrecny.org.

GAO JOINS PLI REALTY Lloyd J. Amster, founder of PLI Realty in Scarsdale, has announced the addition of Yan He Gao to the company’s staff as a licensed real estate salesperson. Prior to being hired, Gao worked in real state for more than 15 years in Beijing, China. After coming to New York, Gao taught adults and children Mandarin throughout Westchester. “Adding Mandarin to the list of languages spoken (in the office) is an advantage for our clients,” Gao said.

The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation (HGRF), the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, recently presented a check for $5,000 to The Bridge Fund of Westchester, based in White Plains. The Bridge Fund’s mission is to ensure housing stability for vulnerable individuals

and families who are threatened with the loss of their housing, but often don’t qualify for emergency government assistance. “The need in the county is really growing, where the working class, who do not qualify for county emergency assistance, are facing immense challenges around

meeting some of their most basic needs,” said Grace Perry, director of The Bridge Fund. “Our client base is nearly 50 percent children,” she said. The typical Bridge Fund client’s annual net income is about $22,400, and some of them pay half of their income in rent.

COLLEGE PICKS EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR

WHITE PLAINS GROUP HELPING IN CONNECTICUT The White Plains-based Pro Bono Partnership (PBP) has received a $10,000 grant from Fairfield County’s Community Foundation in Norwalk, Connecticut. The funds will be used to help provide free legal services to nonprofit organizations in the Fairfield County region. Nancy Eberhardt, PBP’s executive director, said, “With the financial backing of grants like this we can continue to make outreach and education priorities and provide legal services at no cost to charities so they can focus their resources on building capacity and sustainable programming for the community.” Last year, PBP assisted 800 nonprofits in the tristate area and recruited and mobilized more than 1,400 volunteer attorneys who provided 22,000 hours of free legal services valued at more than $9.5 million.

More than 100 attendees from as far away as China gathered at New York Medical College (NYMC) for the recent “East-West Integrative Medical Symposium for Immunology and Wellness – Clinical Practice, Science and Technology.” The event was organized and hosted by NYMC’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology. The day began with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between

NYMC and Henan University of Chinese Medicine to foster collaboration between the two institutions to enhance research, education and clinical programs in allergy, immunology, and the use of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as to facilitate the exchange of visiting scientists and students. Salomon Amar, who signed the memorandum on behalf of NYMC, said, “I am thrilled to see this new international con-

nection that will allow us to build a broader research base and I am looking forward to the next steps to increase collaboration.” The audience spent the day learning about a range of topics such as research in traditional Chinese medicine and clinical opportunities for the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into standard care for conditions such as asthma, food allergies and eczema.
