Hempstead board OKs special exceptions for Island Park projects, issues negative SEQR declaration

Town of Hempstead Board · November 20, 2025

Summary

The board classified a special exception under §196‑n for an Island Park site, adopted a negative declaration under SEQR, and approved Bayport Corporation's application to permit a public garage/motor vehicle repair shop and accessory office at an Island Park premises.

The Town of Hempstead Board took two land‑use actions on Nov. 18, classifying a special exception application under §196‑n of the Town building zone ordinance for a property in Island Park and adopting a negative declaration under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), then approving a related Bayport Corporation application for a public garage and accessory office.

Town staff read the decision calendar item that classified the Island Park application as an unlisted action under SEQR and recommended a negative declaration. A motion to accept the recommendation was made and seconded and the board recorded unanimous approval.

The board then considered item 6 — the application of 1146 Bayport Corp. to permit a public garage for a motor vehicle repair shop and an accessory office at an Island Park premises under §196‑n. Following a motion and second, board members recorded 'Aye' votes and approved the special exception.

The transcript records the approvals and roll call votes but does not provide permit conditions, performance standards, or the project’s detailed site plan. The town clerk and town attorney guided the board through the SEQR classification and votes.
