1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Our August 11 board meeting,
please join us in the Pledge Mr.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,880
jakubowski, pledge
allegiance to the flag

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,240
of the United States of
America and to the Republic

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,560
for which it stands.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,780
One nation under
God, indivisible,

6
00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:18,200
with liberty and
justice for all.

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:18,900
Roll call.

8
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:20,080
Supervisor Wilhelm.

9
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,080
Here councilman McCarthy.

10
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,320
Councilwoman Nowak.

11
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,580
Councilwoman Isabella.

12
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:25,380
Here councilman.

13
00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:27,600
Lowman yeah.

14
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,840
OK, before we begin
this afternoon,

15
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,700
we have our employee
of the month.

16
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:36,620
Actually, this
afternoon, we have two.

17
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:41,600
Because we weren't able to get
our folks over here for the July

18
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,500
employee of the month.

19
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:44,180
So we're going to
start with this month.

20
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:47,040


21
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,100
Each month, we honor an
employee whose dedication,

22
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,560
professionalism, and character
have made a meaningful impact

23
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,280
on our community.

24
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,720
Today, it is my privilege
to recognize someone who

25
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,340
truly embodies those qualities.

26
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:59,680
Sergeant Brendan Dennehy, eight.

27
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,740
Sergeant Dennehy
certainly knows.

28
00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:05,480


29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Sergeant Dennehy is certainly
no stranger to recognition

30
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,100
for his public service
over the past year.

31
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,440
Brendan has received
meritorious service awards

32
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,620
for heroic and proactive
law enforcement actions,

33
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:21,320
and he was also named our 2026
peace officer of the year.

34
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,380
Those honors speak to
his accomplishments,

35
00:01:23,380 --> 00:01:26,320
but what truly sets Brendan
apart is the way he approaches

36
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:28,960
the job every single day.

37
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,920
He comes to work each day with
a positive attitude, strong work

38
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,160
ethic, commitment to excellence
that his fellow officers respect

39
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,320
and follow.

40
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,000
He continually seeks additional
training to strengthen

41
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,960
his skills and knowledge.

42
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,640
That dedication shows in
the results, including

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,240
several significant arrests
and the successful clearance

44
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,240
of multiple
investigations this year.

45
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Equally important, Brendan is
a trusted leader and mentor

46
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,300
within the Department.

47
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,310
He plays a key role in
the field training program

48
00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:01,830
and is always available
to guide and support newer

49
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:04,050
officers to his colleagues.

50
00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:08,270
Brandon is an exemplary police
officer and a trusted leader,

51
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:10,050
but to the residents
of Smithtown,

52
00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:12,790
he is also the officer
who always seems

53
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:16,430
to have a smile on his face,
even on parade and festival days

54
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:18,790
when he's carrying
an assault rifle,

55
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:21,670
he still manages to look so
approachable that people are

56
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:24,270
more likely to ask
him for directions

57
00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:26,430
than even notice the gear.

58
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:28,650
He is calm under
pressure, approachable,

59
00:02:28,650 --> 00:02:31,050
and generally friendly
to the people he serves.

60
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:33,990
In fact, during a Little
League opening day

61
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:37,270
this season, a young boy
who had become separated

62
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:39,430
from his parents
spotted Sergeant Dennehy

63
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:42,350
and immediately went
right up to him for help.

64
00:02:42,350 --> 00:02:44,430
That says a great
deal about Brandon

65
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:46,070
and the sense of
trust and security

66
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:48,990
he brings to the
people around him.

67
00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:51,670
Whether it is a serious
law enforcement matter,

68
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:54,990
mentoring a new officer, or
helping a frightened Child Find

69
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:58,270
his parents Sergeant Dennehy
represents public service

70
00:02:58,270 --> 00:03:00,190
at its very best.

71
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:02,350
On behalf of the entire
town board and the people

72
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:06,110
of Smithtown, is our privilege
to recognize Sergeant Brendan

73
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:10,210
Dennehy as this month's public
servant of excellence recipient.

74
00:03:10,210 --> 00:03:13,190
Brendan, your professionalism,
leadership, compassion,

75
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:14,830
and dedication to
this community have

76
00:03:14,830 --> 00:03:16,390
earned the respect
of your colleagues

77
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:19,790
and the trust of Smithtown
residents of all ages.

78
00:03:19,790 --> 00:03:21,110
I would ask Chief
Loman, would you

79
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:23,770
please join us and present
Sergeant Dennehy with the award.

80
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:31,670


81
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:36,090
Good to see you.

82
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:40,150


83
00:03:40,150 --> 00:03:41,790
Actually, what have you
guys come in the middle

84
00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:43,630
so I can get everybody.

85
00:03:43,630 --> 00:03:48,310


86
00:03:48,310 --> 00:03:49,970
Back that way.

87
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:53,110
OK let's do.

88
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:58,840
I actually have relationships.

89
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,760
This never happens.

90
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,700


91
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:10,220
And they smile for the public
safety social media campaign.

92
00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:12,100
Congratulations, Brendan.

93
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:13,680
Congratulations Thank you.

94
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,740


95
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:19,279
I'm glad to see you
found the razor.

96
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,900


97
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:23,760
Just kidding.

98
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,700


99
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:27,920
Great yes.

100
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,060


101
00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:41,460
Yes OK.

102
00:04:41,460 --> 00:04:43,400
We will now go a
little bit in reverse,

103
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,420
but we're going to go to our
July employees of the month

104
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:51,500
because we were
unable to do that.

105
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:55,020
July exceptional public
servants were unable to join us

106
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:56,540
at the last board
meeting, and we certainly

107
00:04:56,540 --> 00:04:59,380
don't want to miss the
opportunity to recognize them,

108
00:04:59,380 --> 00:05:02,260
because the work they could
do so quite literally be seen

109
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,620
in full bloom all across town.

110
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:07,020
Today, it is our
privilege to recognize

111
00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:09,540
two outstanding members of
our Parks Department, Angelo

112
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:12,500
Grassi and Cheyenne inland.

113
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,700
Throughout June and July, as
Smithtown prepared to celebrate

114
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:19,560
the 250th anniversary of
American independence,

115
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,020
Angelo and Cheyenne, together
with our entire landscaping crew

116
00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:25,900
led by Marcel callais,
went above and beyond

117
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:28,460
to transform our town
into an unforgettable

118
00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:30,980
display of patriotic pride.

119
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:34,780
From the incredible 1776
floral installations

120
00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:37,180
to the beautiful landscaping
surrounding our Veterans

121
00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:40,420
Memorial to red, white
and blue flowers planters

122
00:05:40,420 --> 00:05:44,340
throughout every Hamlet,
their work was everywhere,

123
00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:45,860
and anyone who
remembers the weather

124
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:48,420
leading up to America's
250 celebration

125
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:50,660
knows it was no easy task.

126
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:52,780
They work long
hours and overtime

127
00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:55,660
through some absolutely
brutal summer conditions

128
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:59,380
because they wanted Smithtown
to look its very best for once

129
00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:01,820
in a generation celebration.

130
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,020
Their talent, creativity
and pride in their work

131
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:05,720
could be seen
everywhere you look.

132
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,820
And months later, much of it
is still there for residents

133
00:06:08,820 --> 00:06:10,340
to enjoy.

134
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:14,740
Angelo Grassi has dedicated
nearly three decades of service

135
00:06:14,740 --> 00:06:16,700
to the town of Smithtown.

136
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:21,000
Angelo began his career as a
laborer at the MSF in 1997.

137
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,900
He joined the Parks
Department in 2015,

138
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:27,940
where his talent and work ethic
quickly earned him a promotion

139
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:29,520
to groundskeeper one.

140
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,260
Over the years, he has served
his fellow employees as a union

141
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:35,540
vice president and shop
Steward, and today he

142
00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:38,660
serves as a labor crew
leader to overseeing

143
00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:42,140
the flowers and plantings
throughout the entire town.

144
00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:46,820
I think anyone who knows Angelo
knows this is simply a job, not

145
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:49,650
simply a job for him.

146
00:06:49,650 --> 00:06:52,370
Angelo genuinely
loves what he does.

147
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,930
He puts his heart into
everything his hands touch.

148
00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:57,250
And you can see that passion
in the beautiful landscapes

149
00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:01,010
he creates throughout
Smithtown every season.

150
00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:04,530
Angelo has also perfected what
I would call the Dolce Vita

151
00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:06,110
approach to public service.

152
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:09,850
He works hard, enjoys life, and
makes sure the people around him

153
00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:11,330
enjoy it too.

154
00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:13,410
And those of us
here at town Hall

155
00:07:13,410 --> 00:07:16,170
have been fortunate enough
to experience another one

156
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:17,530
of Angelo's talents.

157
00:07:17,530 --> 00:07:21,090
He is an exceptional
Baker and somehow

158
00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:24,330
always manages to find time to
deliver his homemade cannolis

159
00:07:24,330 --> 00:07:25,110
to the staff.

160
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:26,610
Thank you Angelo.

161
00:07:26,610 --> 00:07:29,170
So whether he's growing
flowers or filling cannolis,

162
00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:33,210
Angelo has a pretty remarkable
ability to make people happy.

163
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:35,330
We are incredibly fortunate
to have someone who takes

164
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:37,970
such tremendous pride in
caring for the community

165
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:40,410
that we all call
home, and alongside

166
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:43,010
Angelo is another
incredibly talented

167
00:07:43,010 --> 00:07:44,230
member of our parks team.

168
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:49,330
Cheyenne Cheyenne joined the
Parks Department as a laborer

169
00:07:49,330 --> 00:07:51,330
in June of 2022.

170
00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:53,230
Through her hard work,
talent, and dedication,

171
00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:55,650
she earned a promotion
to groundskeeper

172
00:07:55,650 --> 00:07:58,150
one in July of 2025.

173
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:00,170
In a relatively
short time, Cheyenne

174
00:08:00,170 --> 00:08:04,090
has already made a noticeable
impression throughout Smithtown.

175
00:08:04,090 --> 00:08:06,270
She has an incredible
eye for landscaping,

176
00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:08,450
from choosing the right
plantings and Native species

177
00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:10,850
to developing color
schemes and adding

178
00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:14,650
those finishing touches that can
completely transform a space.

179
00:08:14,650 --> 00:08:16,810
Cheyenne and Angelo were
the creative forces behind

180
00:08:16,810 --> 00:08:20,370
the beautiful 1776 landscape
installation created

181
00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:25,690
for America's 250th celebration,
and their creativity became

182
00:08:25,690 --> 00:08:28,050
one of the signature
visual elements

183
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:30,410
of the historic anniversary.

184
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,169
But Cheyenne's commitment
to public service

185
00:08:32,169 --> 00:08:35,690
doesn't stop once the
workday with the town ends.

186
00:08:35,690 --> 00:08:39,530
She also serves the community
as a volunteer firefighter

187
00:08:39,530 --> 00:08:41,370
with Sound Beach fire
department, which tells you

188
00:08:41,370 --> 00:08:43,690
quite a bit about the
kind of person she is

189
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:47,480
and her willingness to give
her time and talents to others.

190
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,440
And on a personal note,
Cheyenne has another very

191
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880
exciting milestone ahead.

192
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120
She will be getting
married this November,

193
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,880
so we want to
congratulate her and wish

194
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,640
her and her future husband a
lifetime of happiness together.

195
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,080
Angelo and Cheyenne.

196
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,900
What you create is
more than landscape.

197
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:05,880
The spaces you care for, or
where our residents gather

198
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,840
for ceremonies, where families
make memories, where we honor

199
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,580
our veterans,
celebrate our history,

200
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:14,000
and welcome people
into our community.

201
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,880
For America's 250th anniversary,
you helped make Smithtown shine

202
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,140
at a moment when the eyes of the
entire community were upon us.

203
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:26,360
Your creativity, hard work,
and passion were unmistakable.

204
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,440
And while Angelo and
Cheyenne are two individuals

205
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,500
we are honoring today.

206
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,240
I also want to recognize Marcel
Calais and the entire parks

207
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,760
landscaping crew.

208
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,960
What our residents saw
throughout the town this summer

209
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,920
was the result of an
extraordinary team effort,

210
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,880
and every member of that
crew should be extremely

211
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,640
proud of what they've
accomplished on behalf

212
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,600
of the entire town board
and the rest of Smithtown

213
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,320
is my privilege to
formally recognize

214
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,800
Angelo Rossi and Shane
inland as our July

215
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,340
exceptional public servants.

216
00:09:54,340 --> 00:10:03,840
Congratulations
Come on up, Angelo.

217
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:16,120
Shane thanks.

218
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Thank you.

219
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,520
Thank you.

220
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,820
Congratulations congratulations.

221
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:23,520


222
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,960
Yeah I like this.

223
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,500
Everybody wants this.

224
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:31,780
Closer sure.

225
00:10:31,780 --> 00:10:37,200


226
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,420
I think I got it.

227
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:42,360
Yep awesome.

228
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:42,860
Thank you.

229
00:10:42,860 --> 00:10:43,600
Thank you.

230
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,100
Thank you.

231
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,060
Angelo Cheyenne.

232
00:10:46,060 --> 00:10:48,800
Congratulations congratulations.

233
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,600
Thank you.

234
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,540
Where are the cannolis?

235
00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:52,880
I know right.

236
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,760
I should have.

237
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Congratulations Thank you.

238
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,200
Thank you.

239
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,840
How about another applause
for people who hard

240
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,900
work every day here.

241
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:04,900
Yeah OK.

242
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:06,600
Thank you guys.

243
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,740
We will move on.

244
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:11,780
We have site plans today
Mr. Trotter, you are up.

245
00:11:11,780 --> 00:11:19,120


246
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,567
Supervisor members
of the town board.

247
00:11:20,567 --> 00:11:22,100
I'm Liam Trotter with
the planning department.

248
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:24,040
And I have three site plans
to present to the board

249
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,960
this afternoon, acting as the
board of site plan review.

250
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,560
The first application
is called kismet homes.

251
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:32,420
The subject site is located on
the West Side of Carl Avenue,

252
00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:34,760
just North of West Main Street,
right around the corner here

253
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,000
in Smithtown.

254
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,030
The proposals for the
construction of two 1,200 square

255
00:11:40,030 --> 00:11:42,670
foot, two story,
two family dwellings

256
00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:45,750
and two 428 square
foot detached garages

257
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:47,790
with associated site work.

258
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:49,910
The board actually approved
a site plan application back

259
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:53,390
in 2017 for these two homes.

260
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:58,290
For the same exact layout
site was never developed.

261
00:11:58,290 --> 00:12:00,750
The approvals expired
so the applicant

262
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:02,570
is coming back for re-approval.

263
00:12:02,570 --> 00:12:07,550
This time it does include
the two garages in the back.

264
00:12:07,550 --> 00:12:11,070
The proposal went to the Board
of zoning appeals for approval

265
00:12:11,070 --> 00:12:14,270
back in March of this year.

266
00:12:14,270 --> 00:12:17,770
This is the architecture of
the two family dwellings.

267
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:21,030


268
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:23,990
And the architecture
of the garages.

269
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:25,990
The applicant has
agreed to six conditions

270
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:27,330
of site plan approval.

271
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:28,990
The first is that
the applicant obtain

272
00:12:28,990 --> 00:12:31,530
the necessary permits from
the town building department.

273
00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:34,230
The second condition is that the
applicant shall obtain a road

274
00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:37,150
opening permit from the
highway department for new curb

275
00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:39,850
cut along castle Avenue.

276
00:12:39,850 --> 00:12:42,310
Now, the site plan
will be one shared

277
00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:44,170
curb cut between the two lots.

278
00:12:44,170 --> 00:12:46,270
They are two
separate tax parcels

279
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:49,710
but it will be
acting as one site.

280
00:12:49,710 --> 00:12:51,870
The third condition of approval
is that the applicant shall

281
00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:54,670
either provide a design for
temporary sheeting and bracing

282
00:12:54,670 --> 00:12:56,570
prepared by a
professional engineer,

283
00:12:56,570 --> 00:12:58,310
to be used along
the property lines

284
00:12:58,310 --> 00:13:00,470
to protect and maintain
existing conditions

285
00:13:00,470 --> 00:13:02,850
on adjacent properties
during construction,

286
00:13:02,850 --> 00:13:04,870
or obtain a fully
executed construction

287
00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:08,310
easement from adjoining
property review and approval

288
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:11,030
from the town
engineering department.

289
00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:13,830
The fourth condition is that
the detached garages shall

290
00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:15,830
be accessory to the
residential dwellings

291
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:20,150
only, and be used for storage
or parking for the residences.

292
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:22,790
The fifth condition is that
the two tax parcels shall

293
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:25,550
be maintained as one site
for board of site plan review

294
00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:29,270
purposes, meaning access,
parking, grading and drainage

295
00:13:29,270 --> 00:13:31,190
and no fencing or barriers
shall be installed

296
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:33,070
along the shared property line.

297
00:13:33,070 --> 00:13:35,350
And the last condition is
that off site landscaping

298
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:37,780
improvements as depicted
on the landscape plan

299
00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:41,020
are not part of this approval.

300
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,500
Does the board have any
questions by the board.

301
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:44,980
No OK.

302
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:47,780
OK we'll move on.

303
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:48,280
Moving on.

304
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,100
The next application is
called 43 landing Avenue.

305
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:54,900
Subject sites located
on the South side

306
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:59,460
of Blydenburgh Avenue, just
East of landing Avenue.

307
00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:04,350
The proposals for the
construction of a 1,700 and 80

308
00:14:04,350 --> 00:14:06,100
square foot, two
story, single family

309
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:10,420
dwelling with a 910 square foot
cellar and associated site work.

310
00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:12,740
So this subject
site was actually

311
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:14,620
it's the parking
lot that used to be

312
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:17,940
for the lindey's taxi office.

313
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:20,000
Recent property owner he bought.

314
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,500
There are actually
two separate tax

315
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,340
parcels, the site on
the corner at 43 landing

316
00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:26,500
and the parking lot.

317
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,160
So he bought both lots
and he's developing.

318
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,220
He converted the
office building back

319
00:14:31,220 --> 00:14:32,880
into a single family residence.

320
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,660
And now he's going to be
developing the vacant property

321
00:14:35,660 --> 00:14:38,460
for a new home.

322
00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:40,780
The proposal did go to the
board of zoning appeals

323
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:43,180
back in January
of this year, and

324
00:14:43,180 --> 00:14:45,620
the applicant has
agreed to six conditions

325
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:46,720
of site plan approval.

326
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,220
The first is that
the applicant obtain

327
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:50,660
the applicable permits from
the town building department.

328
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:53,220
The second condition is
that the applicant install

329
00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:54,940
a tree preservation fence.

330
00:14:54,940 --> 00:14:56,520
There's only one
tree to be preserved.

331
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,020
It's in the back, but
it's a pretty large maple.

332
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:01,780
The third condition is that the
applicant obtain a road opening

333
00:15:01,780 --> 00:15:03,980
permit from the town highway
department for a new curb

334
00:15:03,980 --> 00:15:06,220
cut along Bladensburg Avenue.

335
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:08,740
The fourth condition is that
the applicant shall submit

336
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:11,300
physical building
material and color samples

337
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:12,940
to the planning department.

338
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:15,700
The fifth condition is that
a drywall shall be installed

339
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:17,880
at the outside basement
entrance landing,

340
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,060
designed for a 3 inch rainfall
for the engineering department.

341
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:23,580
And the last condition is that
the chimney shall be sided

342
00:15:23,580 --> 00:15:28,340
with brick for the approved
rendering, which is the proposed

343
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:30,260
rendering of the house.

344
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:35,300
Thanks any questions
on this proposal.

345
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:36,820
Just the drainage.

346
00:15:36,820 --> 00:15:40,020
If I recall correctly,
that grade drops pretty

347
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:41,880
drastically from the road in.

348
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,040
So that's the purpose for
that's designed for a 3

349
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,000
inch rainfall on that property.

350
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,860
Correct so that specific
condition relates to this plan

351
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:53,160
actually shows compliance
with the condition.

352
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,980
But there's going to be a
separate basement entrance,

353
00:15:56,980 --> 00:15:58,760
cellar entrance on the
back side of the building,

354
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,060
which they provided a drain at
the bottom of that stairwell.

355
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:03,960
Stairwell yeah.

356
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,100
But yes, it does drop
significantly from the roadway.

357
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,420
So everything will
be pitched back.

358
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:11,500
Any other questions
by the board.

359
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:12,880
No OK.

360
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Thank you.

361
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,540
OK proceed.

362
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:16,860
And the last site
plan application

363
00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:20,660
is County management.

364
00:16:20,660 --> 00:16:26,860
The subject site is located at
200 townline road in Kings Park.

365
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:29,500
This is at the very
Southwest corner

366
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,070
of that old Northport road.

367
00:16:32,070 --> 00:16:35,090
Townline road
industrial corridor.

368
00:16:35,090 --> 00:16:40,370
The site was developed
originally back in 2018 2019.

369
00:16:40,370 --> 00:16:42,550
They constructed
an office building.

370
00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:46,850
A garage building had
approval for trucking station

371
00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:48,850
outdoor storage in the
back, and they landscaped

372
00:16:48,850 --> 00:16:50,070
the whole front yard.

373
00:16:50,070 --> 00:16:53,390
So the new proposal that's
being presented today is for.

374
00:16:53,390 --> 00:16:56,790
This is another this is a drone
photo of the existing site.

375
00:16:56,790 --> 00:17:00,250
As you can see, there's multiple
different industrial outdoor

376
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:01,710
storage uses in the back.

377
00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:04,290


378
00:17:04,290 --> 00:17:08,380
So the new proposal is for
the construction of a 7737

379
00:17:08,380 --> 00:17:12,089
square foot, one
story garage building,

380
00:17:12,089 --> 00:17:16,490
two 500 gallon above ground
fuel tanks and modifications

381
00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:19,170
to the existing trucking
station, outdoor storage

382
00:17:19,170 --> 00:17:21,250
with associated site work.

383
00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:24,430
So the property owner has
a new potential tenant.

384
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:27,390
They do equipment rentals,
so they want to propose this.

385
00:17:27,390 --> 00:17:30,270
It's going to be a maintenance
building for the storage,

386
00:17:30,270 --> 00:17:34,850
and maintenance of the equipment
that they'll be renting out.

387
00:17:34,850 --> 00:17:35,850
The applicant.

388
00:17:35,850 --> 00:17:37,170
This is.

389
00:17:37,170 --> 00:17:39,990
These are the elevation plans
for the proposed structure.

390
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:43,090
Standard metal
Butler type building.

391
00:17:43,090 --> 00:17:46,450
And the color will match that of
the existing buildings on site.

392
00:17:46,450 --> 00:17:48,370
And the applicant has
agreed to five conditions

393
00:17:48,370 --> 00:17:49,470
of site plan approval.

394
00:17:49,470 --> 00:17:51,370
The first is that they
obtain necessary permits

395
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:52,690
from the building department.

396
00:17:52,690 --> 00:17:55,470
The second condition is that
the floor plan shall be revised,

397
00:17:55,470 --> 00:17:57,770
omitting the proposed wash Bay.

398
00:17:57,770 --> 00:18:00,210
And then no interior wash
Bay shall be permitted

399
00:18:00,210 --> 00:18:01,730
without the approval
from the Suffolk County

400
00:18:01,730 --> 00:18:03,890
Department of Health services.

401
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:05,770
The third condition is
that prior to the issuance

402
00:18:05,770 --> 00:18:08,210
of the building permit, the plan
shall be reviewed and approved

403
00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:10,130
by the fire Marshal.

404
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,530
The fourth condition is that
the outdoor storage on site

405
00:18:12,530 --> 00:18:15,810
shall be limited to 23
times the gross floor area.

406
00:18:15,810 --> 00:18:18,130
Outdoor storage shall
be limited to the uses

407
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:19,790
as described and
depicted on the site.

408
00:18:19,790 --> 00:18:21,770
Plans approved by the
Board of zoning appeals

409
00:18:21,770 --> 00:18:24,970
and any modification may be
subject to additional approvals.

410
00:18:24,970 --> 00:18:28,480
And the last condition is that
all overhead wires to on site

411
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,040
lighting or utility poles
shall be buried, which

412
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,640
subsequently has been done.

413
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Question by the board are
they still using that property

414
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,380
for the storage of new cars.

415
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:42,680
They are going to do
that now in addition

416
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,340
to what's being proposed.

417
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:47,240
They reallocated the
storage of the new cars.

418
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,160
As you can see, it's going to
be in this cordoned off area.

419
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,880
So they installed a
new paved driveway.

420
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,440
Let me go to this one.

421
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,920
So the new cars will be brought
and stored in the middle section

422
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,280
of the site.

423
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,760
The front area will be
used for that new equipment

424
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:06,760
rental tenant.

425
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,220

at tremendous expense,
but she wants to bring

536
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:55,160
the Property into compliance.

537
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,540
I think we're probably one
of the first applicants

538
00:23:57,540 --> 00:24:01,100
before the board, but
we want to maintain

539
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:06,820
that which has been done on this
property since 1970, 72 or 73.

540
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:09,700
On June 17, the planning
board adopted a resolution

541
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:11,980
recommending approval
of the zone change

542
00:24:11,980 --> 00:24:14,560
prior to the adoption
of that resolution,

543
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,460
our team met several times with
members of the planning staff

544
00:24:17,460 --> 00:24:19,340
to incorporate their
recommendations

545
00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:20,660
into the site plan.

546
00:24:20,660 --> 00:24:23,820
The site plan was prepared
by key civil engineering

547
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:26,360
and will be working further
with the planning department.

548
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:29,860
As we get deeper into
the engineering details.

549
00:24:29,860 --> 00:24:32,660
The planning board resolution,
which recommended our zone

550
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:35,140
change, stated that
the zone change

551
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:38,020
is consistent with the
town's comprehensive plan.

552
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:42,460
It permits uses compatible with
neighboring uses wouldn't set

553
00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:44,760
an undesirable
precedent precedent,

554
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,980
and the existing residential
zoning no longer reflects

555
00:24:47,980 --> 00:24:49,660
the development of the area.

556
00:24:49,660 --> 00:24:52,260
As a matter of fact,
residential zoning should.

557
00:24:52,260 --> 00:24:53,980
In the approval
resolution, it said

558
00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:57,940
that it should be prohibited
in that area on town Road.

559
00:24:57,940 --> 00:25:02,080
Mrs. popolizio and her husband
purchased the property in 1973,

560
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,740
and they managed the property
together until his death.

561
00:25:05,740 --> 00:25:09,040
The yard has functioned as
an equipment storage yard,

562
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,900
supporting construction
and landscape tenants.

563
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:15,010
A 1973 letter from the
building department

564
00:25:15,010 --> 00:25:17,330
confirms that the
premises was constructed

565
00:25:17,330 --> 00:25:20,090
prior to the issuance
of Cos by the town.

566
00:25:20,090 --> 00:25:23,290
We propose no intensification
of the existing

567
00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:24,590
use of this property.

568
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:28,430
We simply want to bring
the zoning into compliance.

569
00:25:28,430 --> 00:25:32,050
So we could move forward and
obtain Cos on the property.

570
00:25:32,050 --> 00:25:34,750
Mrs. popolizio manages
the site with her nephew.

571
00:25:34,750 --> 00:25:40,330
She visits the site weekly and
Mr. popolizio acts as agent.

572
00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:43,090
The property is located on
the East side of old Northport

573
00:25:43,090 --> 00:25:45,110
road, South of Greenwood road.

574
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:48,050
It measures slightly
under two acres.

575
00:25:48,050 --> 00:25:52,690
It's rectangular with about 135
of frontage on townline road

576
00:25:52,690 --> 00:25:56,410
and about 676 feet of depth.

577
00:25:56,410 --> 00:26:00,670
There is no Street view
from old Northport road.

578
00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:04,070
We've got about 53
of dense landscaping.

579
00:26:04,070 --> 00:26:06,450
Of course, as we get
more into the details

580
00:26:06,450 --> 00:26:09,010
of our landscape
plans, it will be much

581
00:26:09,010 --> 00:26:10,770
more manicured than it is now.

582
00:26:10,770 --> 00:26:15,250
But there is no visibility from
old Northport road to the site.

583
00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:17,430
Neighboring uses to
the North and South.

584
00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:21,410
They're zoned r 43, but they
function in the same manner

585
00:26:21,410 --> 00:26:24,130
that we do as trucking
stations with outdoor storage

586
00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:28,750
to the East, the site is zoned
r 43 is undeveloped and wooded,

587
00:26:28,750 --> 00:26:32,170
and to the West the site
is zoned light industrial

588
00:26:32,170 --> 00:26:34,490
and is industrial and
functions as a trucking

589
00:26:34,490 --> 00:26:37,050
station with outdoor uses.

590
00:26:37,050 --> 00:26:40,010
In 1992, a group
of property owners

591
00:26:40,010 --> 00:26:43,130
in the vicinity of our
property brought petitions

592
00:26:43,130 --> 00:26:45,850
to change the zone from r 43.

593
00:26:45,850 --> 00:26:48,630
They were asking for heavy
industrial at the site,

594
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:51,450
and I noted that the
records of the town

595
00:26:51,450 --> 00:26:54,250
contain recommendations
from the planning department

596
00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:56,750
that they would be more
supportive of light industrial,

597
00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:59,770
which is what we're asking for.

598
00:26:59,770 --> 00:27:02,530
The site contains roll off
containers, landscaping

599
00:27:02,530 --> 00:27:05,310
equipment, trailers,
earthmoving equipment,

600
00:27:05,310 --> 00:27:06,970
Bobcats and dumpsters.

601
00:27:06,970 --> 00:27:09,810
Equipment moves on
and off the site

602
00:27:09,810 --> 00:27:13,850
as the tenants attendants
require their use for whatever

603
00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:15,930
projects they're working on.

604
00:27:15,930 --> 00:27:17,610
The material and
equipment storage

605
00:27:17,610 --> 00:27:21,450
are operational yard areas,
not finished parking fields.

606
00:27:21,450 --> 00:27:24,130
These areas, again, are
subject to periodic changes

607
00:27:24,130 --> 00:27:30,090
of the equipment access and
material handling activities.

608
00:27:30,090 --> 00:27:33,070
And pretty much unless the
board has any questions,

609
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:35,010
that's my presentation.

610
00:27:35,010 --> 00:27:38,050
Questions by the board.

611
00:27:38,050 --> 00:27:41,770
Anyone in the audience wish to
be heard on this public hearing.

612
00:27:41,770 --> 00:27:43,970
There being none,
I move to close.

613
00:27:43,970 --> 00:27:44,590
Thank you.

614
00:27:44,590 --> 00:27:46,250
Thank you very much.

615
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:47,910
Supervisor yes.

616
00:27:47,910 --> 00:27:48,950
Councilman McCarthy.

617
00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:50,390
Yes Councilwoman Nowak.

618
00:27:50,390 --> 00:27:52,250
Yes Councilwoman Morello.

619
00:27:52,250 --> 00:27:54,030
Yes Councilwoman Lowman.

620
00:27:54,030 --> 00:27:57,530
Yes the fourth public
hearing is to consider

621
00:27:57,530 --> 00:28:01,030
the application for renewal
by Verizon New York.

622
00:28:01,030 --> 00:28:07,370


623
00:28:07,370 --> 00:28:08,070
Good afternoon.

624
00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:11,440
Supervisor members of the board.

625
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,080
Janice Hanson,
assistant town attorney

626
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,960
for the town of Smithtown.

627
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,760
The town's existing cable
franchise agreement with Verizon

628
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,000
is due for renewal.

629
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,240
Verizon has presented a proposed
agreement for a five year term,

630
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,640
commencing on approval
with the New York State

631
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,400
public Service Commission.

632
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,240
A five year term is due to
current market conditions

633
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,640
and is consistent with the
term Verizon has negotiated

634
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,920
with other municipalities.

635
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,960
Verizon will continue to pay the
town a franchise fee equal to 5%

636
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,660
of annual gross revenue from
cable service within the town,

637
00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:50,000
payable quarterly, and the
agreement also provides the town

638
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,280
with public, educational
and government access grant

639
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,000
in the amount of $260,000
payable within 60 days

640
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,740
of the effective date for use
in support of local peg access,

641
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:06,200
programming and related
equipment and facilities.

642
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,140
Before the agreement
can be approved, the.

643
00:29:08,140 --> 00:29:10,500
The town board has to hold
a public hearing for it.

644
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:11,500
So I'm presenting that.

645
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:14,320
And I do believe that we have
a representative from Verizon

646
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:14,980
here as well.

647
00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:18,040
If there are any questions or
concerns that the board would

648
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,720
like them to address,
any questions

649
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,000
by the board, questions
anyone in the audience

650
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,760
wish to be heard on
this public hearing.

651
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,300

A resident of this town
now for over 48 years.

843
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,600
I'm here as the supervisor
and board members

844
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,720
to invite you again
to our 9/11 responders

845
00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:07,920
remembered park ceremony.

846
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,960
This year will be held on
Saturday, September the 12,

847
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,000
starting at 10:00 AM.

848
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,380
For those people who don't
this park has been established.

849
00:38:17,380 --> 00:38:20,360
Now this is our 15th
year anniversary,

850
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,840
and it pretty much
coincides with the 25

851
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,520
year anniversary of 9/11.

852
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,760
We started out with
a rock pile in 2007,

853
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,760
and with the guidance and
leadership of John field,

854
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,960
we created a park and we
had four years to do it,

855
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,040
and we were successful
in making that happen.

856
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,080
We've had executive
board members on one

857
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,880
of the original board members.

858
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,640
Some of the past
presidents of the board

859
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,240
include Marty Aponte
and Errol Toulon.

860
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,960
John field is kind of
backed off, although you

861
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,400
will see him that day.

862
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:10,760
We have a different type of
executive board president, John,

863
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:16,400
who you all I think know was
very brash to say it kindly

864
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,280
and very loud to
say it less kindly.

865
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,640
Our new board executive vice
president is Judy Simmons.

866
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,120
Judy is quite the opposite.

867
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:34,040
She's all class and
very, very soft spoken.

868
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:41,440
Yet she has guided us and made
very significant innovations

869
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,680
and improvements to the park.

870
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,360
The people who
attend this ceremony

871
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,690
are in some state of sadness.

872
00:39:50,690 --> 00:39:52,050
They lost somebody.

873
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:55,230
One minute, sir, in
the previous year.

874
00:39:55,230 --> 00:39:57,390
So when they get to
the park, a lot of them

875
00:39:57,390 --> 00:39:59,590
are unsure of what's
going to happen

876
00:39:59,590 --> 00:40:01,790
at the end of this ceremony.

877
00:40:01,790 --> 00:40:06,510
They are so pleased to see the
hundreds of people who attend

878
00:40:06,510 --> 00:40:10,550
this ceremony,
including federal,

879
00:40:10,550 --> 00:40:15,390
state, County,
and town officials

880
00:40:15,390 --> 00:40:18,070
helping them through the day.

881
00:40:18,070 --> 00:40:21,230
So again, I invite
you all to attend.

882
00:40:21,230 --> 00:40:24,510
It's a very well-run ceremony.

883
00:40:24,510 --> 00:40:28,270
You will feel good when
you leave that day.

884
00:40:28,270 --> 00:40:29,710
Thank you very much.

885
00:40:29,710 --> 00:40:31,310
So hope to see you all there.

886
00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:33,230
Thank you, Peter, and
thank you for everything

887
00:40:33,230 --> 00:40:34,570
you do at that park.

888
00:40:34,570 --> 00:40:37,310

place and a great job

And I know you attend,
so I appreciate it.

892

896
00:40:50,750 --> 00:40:51,270
Thank you.

897
00:40:51,270 --> 00:40:51,770
Thank you.

898
00:40:51,770 --> 00:40:52,690
Peter thank you.

899
00:40:52,690 --> 00:40:55,930
Peter Ernest and Elizabeth.

900
00:40:55,930 --> 00:41:05,570
Nattc OK.

901
00:41:05,570 --> 00:41:13,663


902
00:41:13,663 --> 00:41:15,330
Please state your name and
address for the record.

903
00:41:15,330 --> 00:41:18,690
Yeah my name is Ernest
nattc and Elizabeth.

904
00:41:18,690 --> 00:41:20,950
And this is my wife, Elizabeth.

905
00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:23,770
We live at 32 Hobson
Avenue in ST James.

906
00:41:23,770 --> 00:41:28,510
We've lived there for
approximately 43 years.

907
00:41:28,510 --> 00:41:33,110
We as residents
have long enjoyed

908
00:41:33,110 --> 00:41:36,510
the Smithtown parks,
both for our own family

909
00:41:36,510 --> 00:41:38,890
and for our guests.

910
00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:44,190
And we would like to recognize
the fact that the supervisor

911
00:41:44,190 --> 00:41:46,090
and his previous position.

912
00:41:46,090 --> 00:41:46,690
All right.

913
00:41:46,690 --> 00:41:48,350
Always champion them.

914
00:41:48,350 --> 00:41:51,830
And they are really
outstanding and an envy

915
00:41:51,830 --> 00:41:53,510
of all the other
communities here

916
00:41:53,510 --> 00:41:55,670
on Long Island and
even our family

917
00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:57,510
that comes down from upstate.

918
00:41:57,510 --> 00:41:59,550
So I want to thank you for that.

919
00:41:59,550 --> 00:42:01,130
The reason I'm
here today, though,

920
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:07,750
is because in the
ongoing effort to change

921
00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:10,870
the permit system for
non-resident parking

922
00:42:10,870 --> 00:42:12,050
at our events.

923
00:42:12,050 --> 00:42:12,910
All right.

924
00:42:12,910 --> 00:42:15,530
It seems like we only
have two categories.

925
00:42:15,530 --> 00:42:18,530
We have one for
permitted picnics.

926
00:42:18,530 --> 00:42:23,270
And then we have one for
resident only events.

927
00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:24,150
All right.

928
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:28,250
And the fee I guess was
changed from $30 to whatever.

929
00:42:28,250 --> 00:42:32,030
But it never was defined
as to what it should be.

930
00:42:32,030 --> 00:42:34,810
But I think there
should be a third class.

931
00:42:34,810 --> 00:42:43,130
For example, towards the end of
July, we had family come down.

932
00:42:43,130 --> 00:42:43,840
All right.

933
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,480
And my nephew came down
with his two young children,

934
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:47,860
about 5 and three.

935
00:42:47,860 --> 00:42:51,400
And we wanted to take them to
the spray park at Hoyt farms.

936
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,140
The problem is that we
don't all fit in one car.

937
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:59,880
OK So we had two cars.

938
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:00,800
We had our car.

939
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,520
We had our other
car was in the shop.

940
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,200
So now we have our non-resident
vehicle following us.

941
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:06,900
All right.

942
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:11,100
And there was no way, no
mechanism at the park for them

943
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:14,340
to pay for us to be
there to sponsor them

944
00:43:14,340 --> 00:43:17,340
and pay a fee to park there.

945
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:18,000
All right.

946
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,260
The alternative was is they
had to park across the street

947
00:43:22,260 --> 00:43:24,920
in a neighborhood that I'm
sure people don't like,

948
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,500
and they have to cross
across New highway, which

949
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:30,760
grant has crosswalk and thing.

950
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,280
But with 3 and five-year-Olds,
it's a dangerous situation.

951
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:35,920
All right.

952
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,100
So I'd ask the town
to consider coming up

953
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:43,460
with some other day pass
or whatever that a taxpayer

954
00:43:43,460 --> 00:43:44,960
or permit holder.

955
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,580
Or I could sponsor a
guest, and pay a day fee

956
00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:52,420
or something like
that, or parking fee,

957
00:43:52,420 --> 00:43:53,760
which I thought we could do.

958
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,900
And I did ask the
young woman at the gate

959
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:00,060
and she said, no,
we could only do

960
00:44:00,060 --> 00:44:05,780
that if we had a permit for a
pavilion or something like that.

961
00:44:05,780 --> 00:44:07,680
And it was only
for permit holders.

962
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,060
And I said, well, we're
permit, park permit holders

963
00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:15,220
were residents, and we just
ended up in a situation

964
00:44:15,220 --> 00:44:17,680
that was very confusing.

965
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,860
And so we'll apologize
for the confusion.

966
00:44:21,860 --> 00:44:23,380
There is a mechanism,
but I think

967
00:44:23,380 --> 00:44:27,020
there was some confusion there.

968
00:44:27,020 --> 00:44:29,220
You can call the
Department of parks

969
00:44:29,220 --> 00:44:33,460
and explain you had family
here, and they will give you

970
00:44:33,460 --> 00:44:35,700
a non-resident parking
permit for the day

971
00:44:35,700 --> 00:44:39,140
for $14 for the non-resident
vehicle to park there.

972
00:44:39,140 --> 00:44:43,050
So that's the procedure.

973
00:44:43,050 --> 00:44:45,030
If you can let me know
after the meeting.

974
00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:46,350
It happened at Hoyt farm.

975
00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:49,290
Yeah I will make sure we
instruct the parks director

976
00:44:49,290 --> 00:44:50,310
to let those people know.

977
00:44:50,310 --> 00:44:52,730
It might have been a summer
employee that wasn't really

978
00:44:52,730 --> 00:44:54,410
aware of that, but
we do have something

979
00:44:54,410 --> 00:44:56,610
in place for
non-resident vehicle

980
00:44:56,610 --> 00:44:58,350
and a family member
coming there.

981
00:44:58,350 --> 00:44:59,390
All right.

982
00:44:59,390 --> 00:45:00,917
And if there's any
other problems,

983
00:45:00,917 --> 00:45:02,450
if you encounter any
problems through the rest

984
00:45:02,450 --> 00:45:03,770
of the summer or
anything, always

985
00:45:03,770 --> 00:45:06,490
feel free to call
some one of us here.

986
00:45:06,490 --> 00:45:07,850
But I apologize
for the confusion.

987
00:45:07,850 --> 00:45:08,350
All right.

988
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:08,850
Thank you.

989
00:45:08,850 --> 00:45:11,290
Thanks for coming in.

990
00:45:11,290 --> 00:45:12,630
No other speakers.

991
00:45:12,630 --> 00:45:14,270
Well, the speakers.

992
00:45:14,270 --> 00:45:15,350
I will move to close.

993
00:45:15,350 --> 00:45:16,010

1000
00:45:24,730 --> 00:45:25,230
All right.

1001
00:45:25,230 --> 00:45:27,250
Thank you, everyone,
for attending.

1002
00:45:27,250 --> 00:45:29,000

1003
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:39,000
