New York-based Nightingale Properties may have stepped into the worst of both worlds. The company's plan for a new development next to Linden Hills office park in Penfield requires board approvals from two towns: Penfield and Brighton. Approval for the two buildings Nightingale wants to develop in Penfield requires Brighton's approval to build a two-story parking garage there. The entire project is so close to Corbett's Glen nature park, it has residents on both sides of the town line concerned.

At an October 9 Brighton Conservation Board meeting, Lisa Reyes, an engineer with Parrone Engineering, told residents the garage would be built mostly below ground. Little of the garage would be seen from inside the park, and only the surface parking would be seen up close.

"It would look more like a parking lot," she said.

Other concerns of residents and board members had to do with the environmental impact on wildlife, particularly the trout and salmon in Allens Creek.

The Brighton Planning Board will review Nightingale's site plans on Wednesday, October 24 at the Brighton Town Hall, at 7 p.m.
