Reynolds said the activity is ground handling only — the kite would not leave the ground — is practiced in limited wind windows, and usually lasts 30 to 40 minutes when conditions allow.

Reynolds told trustees he has practiced the activity in other locations and that village public-safety officers previously visited and raised no objections. He offered to show photos and said the kite is light nylon and tethered; he described a preferred 40-foot safety clearance around the operator. \"We are not leaving the ground. We are doing it in a safe and respectable manner,\" he told the board.

Board members and the village attorney raised concerns about perception, potential interference with other park users and liability if an amateur operator or a child were injured. The attorney asked whether granting permission could be construed as village sponsorship and whether the village would assume liability if a third party were harmed. Trustees and staff discussed whether a case-by-case permit, a one-time approval or a standing permission would be appropriate.

After extended discussion, the board declined to grant immediate permission and instead asked Director of Public Safety Jim Burbridge and village staff to review operations and advise whether safe, conditional permission could be issued. Trustees emphasized the need to protect other park users and ensure any operation would not impede public use of a park that the village said had recently received significant capital investment.

Reynolds provided his contact information to village staff and the board said staff would follow up after consulting public safety officers. No village-wide kite permit was created at the meeting and no immediate authorization was granted.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Patchogue Board of Trustees Meeting-May 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident sought permission to fly large ground-handled kites at the western end of Shorefront Park.

David Kenny, speaking for the BID, outlined ongoing BID activities — a beautification team, spring hanging baskets, a watering crew, and an annual meeting for BID taxpayers — and stressed Waverly Avenue as the grant target for streetscape improvements. He described the planned work as street lighting, improved sidewalks and connections to the business district to create a more pedestrian-friendly main artery.

Trustees said the village would consider matching funds and noted that the grant amount available would limit what can be accomplished without additional municipal or county resources. The board voted to support the grant application, to serve as lead agency for the County’s CCRAB environmental review, and to accept a negative declaration for the application packet.

The board also heard related BID and downtown items during the meeting: beautification plans, ball-field lighting coordination with PSE&G, theater arch contracts being finalized, and the BID’s outreach schedule. The BID’s round-23 application deadline was described as imminent and the BID is targeting Waverly Avenue as a primary corridor for the proposed improvements.

Those motions were read into the record and approved with recorded \"Aye\" responses from trustees; the transcript records the board declaring itself lead agency and adopting a negative declaration to clear CEQR/CCRAB steps before the county grant review.","Trustees approved a resolution supporting the Business Improvement District’s Suffolk County Downtown Revitalization Program round 23 application for Waverly Avenue, appointed the board lead agency for environmental review, and adopted a negative declaration.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6040707,"Patchogue sets public hearing to remove two West Main Street parking spaces near Tina’s over crosswalk safety",129,331000,460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3754787-46e9794e1b8da61dd510a006fdc8587d&start=331&end=460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3754787-46e9794e1b8da61dd510a006fdc8587d/thumbnail_331000.jpg","/articles/6040707/Patchogue/Suffolk-County/New-York/Patchogue-sets-public-hearing-to-remove-two-West-Main-Street-parking-spaces-near-Tinas-over-crosswalk-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6040707-fd19821bec66491fe6f9a5d91952ae8e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189218&Signature=huUGYxt~Yy3CDoZTcG2qZZ5h6N06f7OwwE5W-TSbtHkOH~b-KZkqCtswdw8JxI2b8go0AUHD1sxpflYSYJPoyGamNbFqgBGL-RLcYBV9EAaN~GFQVNTHN8xSDxodaSpzXypykoblLK1EIwe6gScHsyEvbvBKKmiYbVIN440yxclojX3TPRfF~Kghihnw2CLRAjFZIlUcf46HpI9~sLH9LSQmUXzLferJfopw2BZie9pO~6yqY4ffsnzXL22fBwsXKPeXa-4MCVDw7RgBAcqoZnGHSl5peK6Cm1MFO3Bal5sQHnruidjH37oo5-Q5cnRmRpfZJD82Ji-pREFY8kxFrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Patchogue Board of Trustees set a public hearing for May 12, 2025, to consider a proposed local law amending section 4-15-14j of chapter 4-15 of the village code to prohibit stopping, standing and parking in two spaces on West Main Street directly in front of Tina’s ice cream parlor.

Trustees said the two spaces sit immediately adjacent to a marked crosswalk where parked cars obscure the view of oncoming traffic, creating a safety risk for pedestrians. A trustee who conducted a site visit with Village Clerk Devlin and Village Engineer Norberg told the board the county — which owns the roadway — recommended removing the two spaces and said other measures such as stop signs or traffic lights were not feasible because of the street’s grade and curve.

\"Those parking spaces are directly in front of that crosswalk. If you are attempting to cross from the south side to the north side, you cannot see oncoming traffic at all,\" the trustee said during the meeting. \"You actually have to come out almost into the street.\" The trustee added that they experienced what constituents had reported when testing the crossing themselves.

Officials cited near misses and increased summer pedestrian traffic as reasons to prioritize visibility improvements. Trustees said they had contacted Suffolk County for the recommendation and to explore additional measures such as improved illumination; they also discussed restriping on nearby Lakeland Avenue and pursuing county funds through Legislator Thorne to enhance crosswalk lighting.

Board members and staff discussed complementary actions the village is already pursuing, including re-striping to clarify no-parking areas on Lakeland Avenue and delineating parking so business access is preserved while improving pedestrian safety. Trustees noted the crosswalk is busier in summer and that distracted driving increases the risk to pedestrians.

The public hearing notice and the proposed local law are on file in the village clerk’s office. The board will take public testimony at the scheduled hearing and then decide whether to adopt the proposed amendment.

The May 12 public hearing was announced during the board meeting; no final ordinance was adopted at the meeting.","The Village Board set a public hearing to consider amending the village code to prohibit parking in two spaces on West Main Street directly in front of Tina’s ice cream parlor after a site visit and a county safety recommendation citing poor crosswalk sight lines.","actionData","errors"]
