Apartments in the 260-unit development were offered for sale in three categories, with the price based on the income category: 80 percent of median income, 120 percent of the median income and 130 percent of median income.

These units are in the 120 percent income category. The 80 percent units were fully subscribed; units in the 130 percent category, carrying the highest price, currently $400,601.50, were made available to the public after that list was exhausted.

BABYLON VILLAGE

Parking banned on west side of Pearsall

The Babylon Village Board has banned parking on the west side of Pearsall Place.

The 5-0 vote came at the board's Oct. 27 meeting.

Overflow parking from nearby medical offices had become a safety problem, Mayor Ralph Scordino said. "It becomes difficult for emergency vehicles and buses to utilize that street."

Parking will be allowed on the east side of the street, where there are several homes.

In other news, Trustee Carol Amelia said that the village's tree-planting program has attracted greater demand than it can fill. Amelia said that 47 families had requested 63 trees, but to stay under the program's $50,000 budget, families will be limited to one tree.

TSA session today on guide-dog travel

The federal Transportation Security Administration will host a checkpoint orientation today for plane travelers who use guide dogs.

The orientation, at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma, will not only demonstrate to travelers what to expect when traveling with guide dogs, but it will also familiarize the dogs with airport settings and allow TSA officers to practice their training.

Officials from the TSA and two Smithtown organizations, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind Inc. and America's VetDogs, will be available to answer questions about the procedures.
