Several items were notable for near‑term public hearings and grant activity.

The clerk said public hearings to consider premises declared unsafe at multiple addresses would be scheduled for June 12; the agenda items reference engineer reports from Casa Spinelli Ferretti LLC and others and offer affected owners the opportunity to be heard regarding securing or removing unsafe structures. A town representative urged an inspector visit to at least one property that participants said posed imminent collapse risk.

The clerk also read a resolution approving the 2025 annual action plan and citizen participation plan under the 2023–2027 consolidated HUD plan and authorizing the supervisor and deputy to execute required HUD documentation. Other funding and grant actions read into the record included a proposed application to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Long Island Sound Futures Fund to install wildlife tunnels at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai to protect diamondback terrapins, and a proposed application to the New York State Department of State coastal rehabilitation and resilience program to restore 22 acres of salt‑marsh habitat in Mastic Beach.

Several infrastructure and procurement matters were listed, including award of bids for roadway and recharge basin reconstruction on Hagerman Avenue and capital professional service requisitions for ServiceNow and other projects. The clerk also read resolutions setting a June 26 public hearing regarding the method of financing services provided to the Brookhaven refuse and recycling district and another June 26 hearing to consider altering district boundaries to include a development in Quogue.

The transcript excerpt records the clerk reading and the board acknowledging the items; the record does not include final votes on the resolutions in the transcribed portion of the meeting and the board entered executive session after the resolutions were read.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town Board Work Session Meeting - May 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The town clerk read a broad slate of resolutions and notices at the Town of Brookhaven meeting, including public hearings scheduled for June 12 on unsafe properties and June 26 hearings on refuse/recycling district financing and boundary changes; grant applications to HUD, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and New York State were also announced.","taxTitle","Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York","taxId",53859,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6190678,"Brookhaven planning board reviews Riverhead Building Supply site plan, vegetation variances and right‑of‑way wall",253,321000,574000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5045469-5163c8b8bcba42ba8715d95658cc404b&start=321&end=574","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5045469-5163c8b8bcba42ba8715d95658cc404b/thumbnail_321000.jpg","/articles/6190678/Town-of-Brookhaven/Suffolk-County/New-York/Brookhaven-planning-board-reviews-Riverhead-Building-Supply-site-plan-vegetation-variances-and-rightofway-wall","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190678-8fde57e43291207cec9ffcb5a825718d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195983&Signature=ZQDlGZiu28HPIDJQajofCSi0HdgRjWlcyr5lbRl0QKk9wlmsTT1Yn45F4~BPunbchcRHe6Oq87FeMK7S0nY7qIScHYpiM2H613z4azS4mDqtLV~qDyPykouNI2DTqI-aQcM6EojL4rRzJ4Bqa7QWK2izZFc4ItGqGLx88krQyQ8eeZt5IHiSghs4rjRzs3yYU-JvzENjpCUEH8nKnzD9fjv4etpKuip9JEZoGb85SD9buH8u01sBljNpgHPL5HGJ6y71BtF9d13vOd21K56LSsj9yMCSpcUAsVjEyE1cm6Qx~Dhwu4~qwVqqKSn4Jxhi4Nl1ZJLJjYVZ1AGUGMlbUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jim Tula, planning commissioner for the Town of Brookhaven, told the town board the planning board had multiple items on consent and several public‑hearing matters under review.

Tula described a site plan for Riverhead Building Supply along Pellet Road in Port Jefferson Station as an effort to legalize unpermitted additions to an older industrial building and to convert it into a masonry supply and sales operation. “Being an older building, there were some additions to it that were never permitted,” he said.

The planning board also considered two requests for relief from clearing limits. At 7 Lorraine Court in Medford a property owner requested increasing the clearing limit from 36% to 79%; Tula said the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recommended a 58% limit to align with prior relief granted in that subdivision. On a separate holdover application the owner sought to change a clearing limit from 47% to 69% while DEP recommended 65%, and the property was described in the record as substantially vegetated already.

A resident reported a substantial wall had been built within a highway right‑of‑way on Tennessee Court; Tula said the wall impedes sight lines and that highway staff had issued a highway work permit for aprons only. He said other encroachments — including shrubs — must also comply with apex sight‑line requirements and that the homeowner must work with the highway department and the traffic safety division to resolve the issue.

Tula also described Oak Walker Holdings, a property on the north side of Montauk Highway in East Patchogue adjacent to Mud Creek; planning staff said part of the northern parcel would be dedicated as open space (adjacent to wetlands and wetland buffer) while the southern portion would include a mixed‑use building with ground‑floor office space and two apartments above.

The items were described as planning board matters pending hearings and conditions; the transcript excerpt does not record final town board actions on these planning items.","Planning commissioner Jim Tula summarized several planning‑board items including a site plan for Riverhead Building Supply in the Port Jefferson Station area, requests for clearing‑limit variances in Medford (7 Lorraine Court and another parcel), and a sight‑line issue caused by a wall in Tennessee Court's right‑of‑way.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6190684,"Brookhaven reports long marina waiting lists; online renewals reduce paperwork",130,70000,200000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5045469-5163c8b8bcba42ba8715d95658cc404b&start=70&end=200","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5045469-5163c8b8bcba42ba8715d95658cc404b/thumbnail_70000.jpg","/articles/6190684/Town-of-Brookhaven/Suffolk-County/New-York/Brookhaven-reports-long-marina-waiting-lists-online-renewals-reduce-paperwork","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190684-0c5e51d6c93c03b600f10b18ef916508/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195983&Signature=RZceE1vhZ5483kuLVUXCQ8E88PppF5O7QQs5VQtsUae4f7oF6HwRIj7-jaVfoHhBUK6kAYudgaR9wqvBDZC8x0W8LtA-8QGY8h40MS2nOoCMq~4QBzfyXvewNS-~VVPaBhoLAWUeICia0bjNZuZyWwGPI44z~8NsCJxpj~1ZviJSXsm3iRh3u-8do4h5kq~Do3HYV5IT22tzSmJPljv6gTTd655MHyAQTyzXB0h1plrZo9pgDbzomwtsZMnHEHiUGFzWcQ~XWJJoHX0HEheq8bpWdv53N6~5G1ADGL2HNKb5t~jdrJEyKKBa1yeXkyFD2~lTIMMyge-Pm-AsnU1Tpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A town staff member reported to the board that the Town of Brookhaven manages five marinas and hundreds of boat slips and that waiting lists at some locations are long.

“Residents seem to be very happy with [the online renewal process],” the staff member said, adding that about 90% of renewals were completed online in the second year of the system’s use.

The presenter gave facility‑level figures: Mount Sinai was identified as having 369 total slips with 16 nonrenewals this year; Port Jefferson was described as having 157 slips with 11 nonrenewals; the presenter said Corey Creek had about 10 nonrenewals and Forge River had 9 nonrenewals. The staff member also said the waiting lists are substantial, stating there were “over 760” names on the Mount Sinai waiting list and 695 for Port Jefferson as reported at the meeting.

The staff member said Sand Spit functions more as a transient marina with higher turnover, and that the town’s weekend cleanup and maintenance efforts had been well received by the public. Supervisor Pannega responded, “Absolutely — that’s good information,” in the meeting minutes, acknowledging the report.

The transcript contains no formal policy action or vote related to the marinas; the item appeared as an informational presentation to the town board.","Town staff told the board that the town manages five marinas with hundreds of slips, long waiting lists at Mount Sinai and Port Jefferson, and that an online renewal system is handling roughly 90% of renewals.",{"_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},6190690,"Town of Brookhaven moves to adopt Ecki Avenue overlay, presents land alienation for Bellport housing project",44,211000,255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5045469-5163c8b8bcba42ba8715d95658cc404b&start=211&end=255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5045469-5163c8b8bcba42ba8715d95658cc404b/thumbnail_211000.jpg","/articles/6190690/Town-of-Brookhaven/Suffolk-County/New-York/Town-of-Brookhaven-moves-to-adopt-Ecki-Avenue-overlay-presents-land-alienation-for-Bellport-housing-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190690-fe2d347a6197bf3babf1e5b7dc36929e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195983&Signature=kCvWYq-zdN0ceVucD7NRoVDav~OeQ95ZxYRCR88k2fAJQSxYHPoAF~-fm2WGjpeZpimcOIScakKrohU43n-501QyAnKgTVE9293Xo6sPuhOTbOj1cwBGeWaZvuF3Am-h3cHMZoEhwR8oRQ4S74iQejMtOCTvmol2-YBb-9WB7oafpvjU8tDc2Q6toVs-vMJOoD-Lcaru0X7Z2XdEeI1enOncWWFLSrpuLyPVVc~Oqs8q6tcUT1BFeJfTJ0fBisrmwF5T9Ik9LuhMVYqz7qZ4NAKMYZ2p5L-wqGW83ooOrntlBMGlpng2QDzaSZh9XAGIh5c-TWnHnnXLEPljlSrcKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Beth Riley, deputy town attorney for the Town of Brookhaven, told the town board the town is ready to adopt an overlay district for Ecki Avenue and put a related land‑alienation resolution on the meeting agenda. “Yes. We're getting to the point now where it's time to adopt the overlay district for Ecki Avenue,” Riley said.

Riley said the overlay and the requested alienation are steps toward a Greater Bellport project developed with the Long Island Housing Partnership that the town envisions as 32 single‑family homes with accessory apartments. The resolution presented would alienate portions of land needed to construct a recharge basin that the project requires, she said. The town previously used condemnation for parts of the site several years ago, Riley added.

Supervisor Pannega described the measure as part of broader revitalization efforts in North Bellport and stressed the town has no known private developer tied to the action, saying social‑media rumors to the contrary were inaccurate. The project will use C zoning and, according to Riley, the code amendment would retain existing setbacks rather than create new ones.

No vote or formal approval on the alienation or the overlay district was included in the public record excerpt; the resolution was presented to the board at the meeting. The transcript records planning and legal staff describing the next steps but does not show a board vote or a scheduled hearing tied to adoption during the portion of the meeting transcribed.

The presentation referenced prior condemnation, a recharge basin requirement, and Long Island Housing Partnership (LIHP) as a planning partner. Town officials did not name a private developer at the meeting and warned that social‑media speculation had circulated about one.

The board later read other resolutions and agenda items, but the excerpted record ends with the town moving into executive session, and no final action on the overlay resolution is recorded in the transcript provided.","Deputy town attorney Beth Riley told the board the town will seek adoption of an overlay district for Ecki Avenue and presented a resolution to alienate portions of land needed for a recharge basin tied to a planned Long Island Housing Partnership housing project in Greater Bellport.","actionData","errors"]
