During the August 8th town board meeting, Chief of Staff Amani Khan opened with a critical message on pool safety, urging vigilance to prevent drownings, which he described as \"100% preventable.\" He emphasized the importance of supervision around pools, particularly for children, highlighting the tragic consequences of inattention.

The meeting proceeded with the roll call, confirming a quorum before moving into the planning consensus resolution agenda. The board reviewed several applications, beginning with a public hearing for Integrated Structures, a steel fabrication company seeking to expand its facility on Pinehurst Drive in Bellport. The proposed expansion includes a two-story addition for office and storage space, as well as a new detached fabrication shop. The application received support from the Greater Bellport Civic Association, and the board unanimously approved the site plan.

Next, the board considered an application from AVGI ES 1 LLC for a change of use at a property on South Jersey Avenue in East Setauket. The building, previously a daycare, is now being repurposed for office space. The applicant clarified that the removal of a playground was necessary to accommodate parking requirements. The board approved the change of use with a variance for parking.

The meeting continued with a public hearing for BLCCA LLC regarding a land division and site plan for a property on Montauk Highway in East Marriages. The proposal involves dividing the property into two parcels and constructing a new mini storage warehouse. The board approved both the land division and the site plan, following a thorough presentation from the applicant's representatives.

As the meeting wrapped up, the board moved through various consensus agendas, including highway items and setting future meeting dates. The session concluded with a brief recess before resuming for public comments later in the day.
