Southampton board schedules CPF public hearings for multiple property acquisitions, including Flying Point
Summary
The board noticed public hearings to consider Community Preservation Fund acquisitions of several properties — 658 Flying Point Road (Watermill), 405 Old Canoe Place Road (Shinnecock Hills) and 14 Bayview Road (Remsenberg) — and said the hearings will be held at the first meeting in August.
Supervisor announced notices of public hearings to consider Community Preservation Fund (CPF) acquisitions of multiple properties and related amendments to the CPF project and stewardship plans.
Resolution 2026‑1083 was introduced to notice a public hearing for the proposed acquisition of 658 Flying Point Road in Watermill and to amend the CPF project and stewardship plan to include the parcel. The board also introduced Resolution 2026‑1084 (405 Old Canoe Place Road in Shinnecock Hills) and Resolution 2026‑1085 (14 Bayview Road in Remsenberg) as notices of public hearings to consider acquisition and to amend the CPF plans.
Why it matters: CPF acquisitions use dedicated community preservation funds to buy and protect open space, preserve water quality and provide public access. Adding properties to the CPF plan can shape future public recreation, conservation, and stewardship priorities.
Board members indicated they will invite community input at the hearings. Members stated the hearings would be held at the first regular meeting in August. The resolutions were cosponsored by the entire board and were presented to the board for scheduling and public notice; no final acquisitions were approved in this session.
Next steps: The public hearings will provide opportunities for local residents and stakeholders to comment before the board considers any acquisition or amendments to the CPF management and stewardship plan.
