Our August 11 board meeting, please join us in the Pledge Mr.
jakubowski, pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America and to the Republic
for which it stands.
One nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
Roll call.
Supervisor Wilhelm.
Here councilman McCarthy.
Councilwoman Nowak.
Councilwoman Isabella.
Here councilman.
Lowman yeah.
OK, before we begin this afternoon,
we have our employee of the month.
Actually, this afternoon, we have two.
Because we weren't able to get our folks over here for the July
employee of the month.
So we're going to start with this month.
Each month, we honor an employee whose dedication,
professionalism, and character have made a meaningful impact
on our community.
Today, it is my privilege to recognize someone who
truly embodies those qualities.
Sergeant Brendan Dennehy, eight.
Sergeant Dennehy certainly knows.
Sergeant Dennehy is certainly no stranger to recognition
for his public service over the past year.
Brendan has received meritorious service awards
for heroic and proactive law enforcement actions,
and he was also named our 2026 peace officer of the year.
Those honors speak to his accomplishments,
but what truly sets Brendan apart is the way he approaches
the job every single day.
He comes to work each day with a positive attitude, strong work
ethic, commitment to excellence that his fellow officers respect
and follow.
He continually seeks additional training to strengthen
his skills and knowledge.
That dedication shows in the results, including
several significant arrests and the successful clearance
of multiple investigations this year.
Equally important, Brendan is a trusted leader and mentor
within the Department.
He plays a key role in the field training program
and is always available to guide and support newer
officers to his colleagues.
Brandon is an exemplary police officer and a trusted leader,
but to the residents of Smithtown,
he is also the officer who always seems
to have a smile on his face, even on parade and festival days
when he's carrying an assault rifle,
he still manages to look so approachable that people are
more likely to ask him for directions
than even notice the gear.
He is calm under pressure, approachable,
and generally friendly to the people he serves.
In fact, during a Little League opening day
this season, a young boy who had become separated
from his parents spotted Sergeant Dennehy
and immediately went right up to him for help.
That says a great deal about Brandon
and the sense of trust and security
he brings to the people around him.
Whether it is a serious law enforcement matter,
mentoring a new officer, or helping a frightened Child Find
his parents Sergeant Dennehy represents public service
at its very best.
On behalf of the entire town board and the people
of Smithtown, is our privilege to recognize Sergeant Brendan
Dennehy as this month's public servant of excellence recipient.
Brendan, your professionalism, leadership, compassion,
and dedication to this community have
earned the respect of your colleagues
and the trust of Smithtown residents of all ages.
I would ask Chief Loman, would you
please join us and present Sergeant Dennehy with the award.
Good to see you.
Actually, what have you guys come in the middle
so I can get everybody.
Back that way.
OK let's do.
I actually have relationships.
This never happens.
And they smile for the public safety social media campaign.
Congratulations, Brendan.
Congratulations Thank you.
I'm glad to see you found the razor.
Just kidding.
Great yes.
Yes OK.
We will now go a little bit in reverse,
but we're going to go to our July employees of the month
because we were unable to do that.
July exceptional public servants were unable to join us
at the last board meeting, and we certainly
don't want to miss the opportunity to recognize them,
because the work they could do so quite literally be seen
in full bloom all across town.
Today, it is our privilege to recognize
two outstanding members of our Parks Department, Angelo
Grassi and Cheyenne inland.
Throughout June and July, as Smithtown prepared to celebrate
the 250th anniversary of American independence,
Angelo and Cheyenne, together with our entire landscaping crew
led by Marcel callais, went above and beyond
to transform our town into an unforgettable
display of patriotic pride.
From the incredible 1776 floral installations
to the beautiful landscaping surrounding our Veterans
Memorial to red, white and blue flowers planters
throughout every Hamlet, their work was everywhere,
and anyone who remembers the weather
leading up to America's 250 celebration
knows it was no easy task.
They work long hours and overtime
through some absolutely brutal summer conditions
because they wanted Smithtown to look its very best for once
in a generation celebration.
Their talent, creativity and pride in their work
could be seen everywhere you look.
And months later, much of it is still there for residents
to enjoy.
Angelo Grassi has dedicated nearly three decades of service
to the town of Smithtown.
Angelo began his career as a laborer at the MSF in 1997.
He joined the Parks Department in 2015,
where his talent and work ethic quickly earned him a promotion
to groundskeeper one.
Over the years, he has served his fellow employees as a union
vice president and shop Steward, and today he
serves as a labor crew leader to overseeing
the flowers and plantings throughout the entire town.
I think anyone who knows Angelo knows this is simply a job, not
simply a job for him.
Angelo genuinely loves what he does.
He puts his heart into everything his hands touch.
And you can see that passion in the beautiful landscapes
he creates throughout Smithtown every season.
Angelo has also perfected what I would call the Dolce Vita
approach to public service.
He works hard, enjoys life, and makes sure the people around him
enjoy it too.
And those of us here at town Hall
have been fortunate enough to experience another one
of Angelo's talents.
He is an exceptional Baker and somehow
always manages to find time to deliver his homemade cannolis
to the staff.
Thank you Angelo.
So whether he's growing flowers or filling cannolis,
Angelo has a pretty remarkable ability to make people happy.
We are incredibly fortunate to have someone who takes
such tremendous pride in caring for the community
that we all call home, and alongside
Angelo is another incredibly talented
member of our parks team.
Cheyenne Cheyenne joined the Parks Department as a laborer
in June of 2022.
Through her hard work, talent, and dedication,
she earned a promotion to groundskeeper
one in July of 2025.
In a relatively short time, Cheyenne
has already made a noticeable impression throughout Smithtown.
She has an incredible eye for landscaping,
from choosing the right plantings and Native species
to developing color schemes and adding
those finishing touches that can completely transform a space.
Cheyenne and Angelo were the creative forces behind
the beautiful 1776 landscape installation created
for America's 250th celebration, and their creativity became
one of the signature visual elements
of the historic anniversary.
But Cheyenne's commitment to public service
doesn't stop once the workday with the town ends.
She also serves the community as a volunteer firefighter
with Sound Beach fire department, which tells you
quite a bit about the kind of person she is
and her willingness to give her time and talents to others.
And on a personal note, Cheyenne has another very
exciting milestone ahead.
She will be getting married this November,
so we want to congratulate her and wish
her and her future husband a lifetime of happiness together.
Angelo and Cheyenne.
What you create is more than landscape.
The spaces you care for, or where our residents gather
for ceremonies, where families make memories, where we honor
our veterans, celebrate our history,
and welcome people into our community.
For America's 250th anniversary, you helped make Smithtown shine
at a moment when the eyes of the entire community were upon us.
Your creativity, hard work, and passion were unmistakable.
And while Angelo and Cheyenne are two individuals
we are honoring today.
I also want to recognize Marcel Calais and the entire parks
landscaping crew.
What our residents saw throughout the town this summer
was the result of an extraordinary team effort,
and every member of that crew should be extremely
proud of what they've accomplished on behalf
of the entire town board and the rest of Smithtown
is my privilege to formally recognize
Angelo Rossi and Shane inland as our July
exceptional public servants.
Congratulations Come on up, Angelo.
Shane thanks.
Thank you.
Congratulations congratulations.
Yeah I like this.
Everybody wants this.
Closer sure.
I think I got it.
Yep awesome.
Thank you.
Angelo Cheyenne.
Congratulations congratulations.
Thank you.
Where are the cannolis?
I know right.
I should have.
Congratulations Thank you.
Thank you.
How about another applause for people who hard
work every day here.
Yeah OK.
Thank you guys.
We will move on.
We have site plans today Mr. Trotter, you are up.
Supervisor members of the town board.
I'm Liam Trotter with the planning department.
And I have three site plans to present to the board
this afternoon, acting as the board of site plan review.
The first application is called kismet homes.
The subject site is located on the West Side of Carl Avenue,
just North of West Main Street, right around the corner here
in Smithtown.
The proposals for the construction of two 1,200 square
foot, two story, two family dwellings
and two 428 square foot detached garages
with associated site work.
The board actually approved a site plan application back
in 2017 for these two homes.
For the same exact layout site was never developed.
The approvals expired so the applicant
is coming back for re-approval.
This time it does include the two garages in the back.
The proposal went to the Board of zoning appeals for approval
back in March of this year.
This is the architecture of the two family dwellings.
And the architecture of the garages.
The applicant has agreed to six conditions
of site plan approval.
The first is that the applicant obtain
the necessary permits from the town building department.
The second condition is that the applicant shall obtain a road
opening permit from the highway department for new curb
cut along castle Avenue.
Now, the site plan will be one shared
curb cut between the two lots.
They are two separate tax parcels
but it will be acting as one site.
The third condition of approval is that the applicant shall
either provide a design for temporary sheeting and bracing
prepared by a professional engineer,
to be used along the property lines
to protect and maintain existing conditions
on adjacent properties during construction,
or obtain a fully executed construction
easement from adjoining property review and approval
from the town engineering department.
The fourth condition is that the detached garages shall
be accessory to the residential dwellings
only, and be used for storage or parking for the residences.
The fifth condition is that the two tax parcels shall
be maintained as one site for board of site plan review
purposes, meaning access, parking, grading and drainage
and no fencing or barriers shall be installed
along the shared property line.
And the last condition is that off site landscaping
improvements as depicted on the landscape plan
are not part of this approval.
Does the board have any questions by the board.
No OK.
OK we'll move on.
Moving on.
The next application is called 43 landing Avenue.
Subject sites located on the South side
of Blydenburgh Avenue, just East of landing Avenue.
The proposals for the construction of a 1,700 and 80
square foot, two story, single family
dwelling with a 910 square foot cellar and associated site work.
So this subject site was actually
it's the parking lot that used to be
for the lindey's taxi office.
Recent property owner he bought.
There are actually two separate tax
parcels, the site on the corner at 43 landing
and the parking lot.
So he bought both lots and he's developing.
He converted the office building back
into a single family residence.
And now he's going to be developing the vacant property
for a new home.
The proposal did go to the board of zoning appeals
back in January of this year, and
the applicant has agreed to six conditions
of site plan approval.
The first is that the applicant obtain
the applicable permits from the town building department.
The second condition is that the applicant install
a tree preservation fence.
There's only one tree to be preserved.
It's in the back, but it's a pretty large maple.
The third condition is that the applicant obtain a road opening
permit from the town highway department for a new curb
cut along Bladensburg Avenue.
The fourth condition is that the applicant shall submit
physical building material and color samples
to the planning department.
The fifth condition is that a drywall shall be installed
at the outside basement entrance landing,
designed for a 3 inch rainfall for the engineering department.
And the last condition is that the chimney shall be sided
with brick for the approved rendering, which is the proposed
rendering of the house.
Thanks any questions on this proposal.
Just the drainage.
If I recall correctly, that grade drops pretty
drastically from the road in.
So that's the purpose for that's designed for a 3
inch rainfall on that property.
Correct so that specific condition relates to this plan
actually shows compliance with the condition.
But there's going to be a separate basement entrance,
cellar entrance on the back side of the building,
which they provided a drain at the bottom of that stairwell.
Stairwell yeah.
But yes, it does drop significantly from the roadway.
So everything will be pitched back.
Any other questions by the board.
No OK.
Thank you.
OK proceed.
And the last site plan application
is County management.
The subject site is located at 200 townline road in Kings Park.
This is at the very Southwest corner
of that old Northport road.
Townline road industrial corridor.
The site was developed originally back in 2018 2019.
They constructed an office building.
A garage building had approval for trucking station
outdoor storage in the back, and they landscaped
the whole front yard.
So the new proposal that's being presented today is for.
This is another this is a drone photo of the existing site.
As you can see, there's multiple different industrial outdoor
storage uses in the back.
So the new proposal is for the construction of a 7737
square foot, one story garage building,
two 500 gallon above ground fuel tanks and modifications
to the existing trucking station, outdoor storage
with associated site work.
So the property owner has a new potential tenant.
They do equipment rentals, so they want to propose this.
It's going to be a maintenance building for the storage,
and maintenance of the equipment that they'll be renting out.
The applicant.
This is.
These are the elevation plans for the proposed structure.
Standard metal Butler type building.
And the color will match that of the existing buildings on site.
And the applicant has agreed to five conditions
of site plan approval.
The first is that they obtain necessary permits
from the building department.
The second condition is that the floor plan shall be revised,
omitting the proposed wash Bay.
And then no interior wash Bay shall be permitted
without the approval from the Suffolk County
Department of Health services.
The third condition is that prior to the issuance
of the building permit, the plan shall be reviewed and approved
by the fire Marshal.
The fourth condition is that the outdoor storage on site
shall be limited to 23 times the gross floor area.
Outdoor storage shall be limited to the uses
as described and depicted on the site.
Plans approved by the Board of zoning appeals
and any modification may be subject to additional approvals.
And the last condition is that all overhead wires to on site
lighting or utility poles shall be buried, which
subsequently has been done.
Question by the board are they still using that property
for the storage of new cars.
They are going to do that now in addition
to what's being proposed.
They reallocated the storage of the new cars.
As you can see, it's going to be in this cordoned off area.
So they installed a new paved driveway.
Let me go to this one.
So the new cars will be brought and stored in the middle section
of the site.
The front area will be used for that new equipment
rental tenant.
Yeah thank you.
Yeah any other questions.
No OK Mr. Chair, thank you very much.
Thank you.
The site plans will be voted on at the conclusion of the agenda
this afternoon.

My name is Rachel lemberger, assistant town attorney
for the town of Smithtown.
The purpose of this public hearing
is to consider amendments to chapter 177

be placed in designated recycling containers
rather than plastic bags.
The Amendment removes the existing exception
for plastic recyclables, unless there are any questions that

Questions by the board.

There being none, I move to close.

There being none moved to close.
Supervisor Whalen.
Yes council McCarthy yes.
Councilwoman nowack.
Yes Councilwoman mazzarello.
Yes Councilwoman Lowman.
Yes thank you.
Councilor the third public hearing is to consider
zone change petition 2020 602.
Francis popolizio.
Good afternoon.
Supervisor, honorable Board members,
town attorney and town clerk.
My name is Janice Whalen, and I have the privilege
of representing Mrs. Francis popolizio, who's right over here
in her application to conform the zoning to what the property
is actually used for.
My office is at 23 Greene Street, Suite 205,
Huntington, New York 11743.
I'd like to hand up to the town clerk affidavits
of posting and mailing.
Thank you.
And I'd like to thank Peter, Matt and Liam
at the planning department.
We've been working together for months to bring
this application before you.
Mrs. Palacios nephew, Edward is here,
as well as a long term tenant.
Andrew Marco.
Mrs. popolizio brings this application
at tremendous expense, but she wants to bring
the Property into compliance.
I think we're probably one of the first applicants
before the board, but we want to maintain
that which has been done on this property since 1970, 72 or 73.
On June 17, the planning board adopted a resolution
recommending approval of the zone change
prior to the adoption of that resolution,
our team met several times with members of the planning staff
to incorporate their recommendations
into the site plan.
The site plan was prepared by key civil engineering
and will be working further with the planning department.
As we get deeper into the engineering details.
The planning board resolution, which recommended our zone
change, stated that the zone change
is consistent with the town's comprehensive plan.
It permits uses compatible with neighboring uses wouldn't set
an undesirable precedent precedent,
and the existing residential zoning no longer reflects
the development of the area.
As a matter of fact, residential zoning should.
In the approval resolution, it said
that it should be prohibited in that area on town Road.
Mrs. popolizio and her husband purchased the property in 1973,
and they managed the property together until his death.
The yard has functioned as an equipment storage yard,
supporting construction and landscape tenants.
A 1973 letter from the building department
confirms that the premises was constructed
prior to the issuance of Cos by the town.
We propose no intensification of the existing
use of this property.
We simply want to bring the zoning into compliance.
So we could move forward and obtain Cos on the property.
Mrs. popolizio manages the site with her nephew.
She visits the site weekly and Mr. popolizio acts as agent.
The property is located on the East side of old Northport
road, South of Greenwood road.
It measures slightly under two acres.
It's rectangular with about 135 of frontage on townline road
and about 676 feet of depth.
There is no Street view from old Northport road.
We've got about 53 of dense landscaping.
Of course, as we get more into the details
of our landscape plans, it will be much
more manicured than it is now.
But there is no visibility from old Northport road to the site.
Neighboring uses to the North and South.
They're zoned r 43, but they function in the same manner
that we do as trucking stations with outdoor storage
to the East, the site is zoned r 43 is undeveloped and wooded,
and to the West the site is zoned light industrial
and is industrial and functions as a trucking
station with outdoor uses.
In 1992, a group of property owners
in the vicinity of our property brought petitions
to change the zone from r 43.
They were asking for heavy industrial at the site,
and I noted that the records of the town
contain recommendations from the planning department
that they would be more supportive of light industrial,
which is what we're asking for.
The site contains roll off containers, landscaping
equipment, trailers, earthmoving equipment,
Bobcats and dumpsters.
Equipment moves on and off the site
as the tenants attendants require their use for whatever
projects they're working on.
The material and equipment storage
are operational yard areas, not finished parking fields.
These areas, again, are subject to periodic changes
of the equipment access and material handling activities.
And pretty much unless the board has any questions,
that's my presentation.
Questions by the board.
Anyone in the audience wish to be heard on this public hearing.
There being none, I move to close.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Supervisor yes.
Councilman McCarthy.
Yes Councilwoman Nowak.
Yes Councilwoman Morello.
Yes Councilwoman Lowman.
Yes the fourth public hearing is to consider
the application for renewal by Verizon New York.
Good afternoon.
Supervisor members of the board.
Janice Hanson, assistant town attorney
for the town of Smithtown.
The town's existing cable franchise agreement with Verizon
is due for renewal.
Verizon has presented a proposed agreement for a five year term,
commencing on approval with the New York State
public Service Commission.
A five year term is due to current market conditions
and is consistent with the term Verizon has negotiated
with other municipalities.
Verizon will continue to pay the town a franchise fee equal to 5%
of annual gross revenue from cable service within the town,
payable quarterly, and the agreement also provides the town
with public, educational and government access grant
in the amount of $260,000 payable within 60 days
of the effective date for use in support of local peg access,
programming and related equipment and facilities.
Before the agreement can be approved, the.
The town board has to hold a public hearing for it.
So I'm presenting that.
And I do believe that we have a representative from Verizon
here as well.
If there are any questions or concerns that the board would
like them to address, any questions
by the board, questions anyone in the audience
wish to be heard on this public hearing.
There being none, I move to close.

Peter Hanson, 47 pines to drive in this concert.
A resident of this town now for over 48 years.
I'm here as the supervisor and board members
to invite you again to our 9/11 responders
remembered park ceremony.
This year will be held on Saturday, September the 12,
starting at 10:00 AM.
For those people who don't this park has been established.
Now this is our 15th year anniversary,
and it pretty much coincides with the 25
year anniversary of 9/11.
We started out with a rock pile in 2007,
and with the guidance and leadership of John field,
we created a park and we had four years to do it,
and we were successful in making that happen.
We've had executive board members on one
of the original board members.
Some of the past presidents of the board
include Marty Aponte and Errol Toulon.
John field is kind of backed off, although you
will see him that day.
We have a different type of executive board president, John,
who you all I think know was very brash to say it kindly
and very loud to say it less kindly.
Our new board executive vice president is Judy Simmons.
Judy is quite the opposite.
She's all class and very, very soft spoken.
Yet she has guided us and made very significant innovations
and improvements to the park.
The people who attend this ceremony
are in some state of sadness.
They lost somebody.
One minute, sir, in the previous year.
So when they get to the park, a lot of them
are unsure of what's going to happen
at the end of this ceremony.
They are so pleased to see the hundreds of people who attend
this ceremony, including federal,
state, County, and town officials
helping them through the day.
So again, I invite you all to attend.
It's a very well-run ceremony.
You will feel good when you leave that day.
Thank you very much.
So hope to see you all there.
Thank you, Peter, and thank you for everything
you do at that park.
It's just a marvelous place and a great job
that you do for the families.
Thank you.
And I know you attend, so I appreciate it.
And I would also ask you to please call my office
with the date because of our calendars
and our disseminate to all the elected officials.
Sure thank you very much.
Thank you.
Peter thank you.
Peter Ernest and Elizabeth.
Nattc OK.
Please state your name and address for the record.
Yeah my name is Ernest nattc and Elizabeth.
And this is my wife, Elizabeth.
We live at 32 Hobson Avenue in ST James.
We've lived there for approximately 43 years.
We as residents have long enjoyed
the Smithtown parks, both for our own family
and for our guests.
And we would like to recognize the fact that the supervisor
and his previous position.
All right.
Always champion them.
And they are really outstanding and an envy
of all the other communities here
on Long Island and even our family
that comes down from upstate.
So I want to thank you for that.
The reason I'm here today, though,
is because in the ongoing effort to change
the permit system for non-resident parking
at our events.
All right.
It seems like we only have two categories.
We have one for permitted picnics.
And then we have one for resident only events.
All right.
And the fee I guess was changed from $30 to whatever.
But it never was defined as to what it should be.
But I think there should be a third class.
For example, towards the end of July, we had family come down.
All right.
And my nephew came down with his two young children,
about 5 and three.
And we wanted to take them to the spray park at Hoyt farms.
The problem is that we don't all fit in one car.
OK So we had two cars.
We had our car.
We had our other car was in the shop.
So now we have our non-resident vehicle following us.
All right.
And there was no way, no mechanism at the park for them
to pay for us to be there to sponsor them
and pay a fee to park there.
All right.
The alternative was is they had to park across the street
in a neighborhood that I'm sure people don't like,
and they have to cross across New highway, which
grant has crosswalk and thing.
But with 3 and five-year-Olds, it's a dangerous situation.
All right.
So I'd ask the town to consider coming up
with some other day pass or whatever that a taxpayer
or permit holder.
Or I could sponsor a guest, and pay a day fee
or something like that, or parking fee,
which I thought we could do.
And I did ask the young woman at the gate
and she said, no, we could only do
that if we had a permit for a pavilion or something like that.
And it was only for permit holders.
And I said, well, we're permit, park permit holders
were residents, and we just ended up in a situation
that was very confusing.
And so we'll apologize for the confusion.
There is a mechanism, but I think
there was some confusion there.
You can call the Department of parks
and explain you had family here, and they will give you
a non-resident parking permit for the day
for $14 for the non-resident vehicle to park there.
So that's the procedure.
If you can let me know after the meeting.
It happened at Hoyt farm.
Yeah I will make sure we instruct the parks director
to let those people know.
It might have been a summer employee that wasn't really
aware of that, but we do have something
in place for non-resident vehicle
and a family member coming there.
All right.
And if there's any other problems,
if you encounter any problems through the rest
of the summer or anything, always
feel free to call some one of us here.
But I apologize for the confusion.
All right.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming in.

Well, the speakers.
I will move to close.
