Zoning board reviews Edge Capital proposal for beach walkway at 2128 Montauk Highway
Summary
At its Aug. 4, 2026 meeting the East Hampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed an administrative application from Edge Capital LLC to build a 4-foot-wide wooden walkway and beach-access staircase at 2128 Montauk Highway; staff said easements and a 2008 approval shape what is allowed. The meeting was briefly paused for technical difficulties.
At its Aug. 4, 2026 meeting the East Hampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals took up an administrative application from Edge Capital LLC seeking to construct a 4-foot-wide wooden walkway and a beach-access staircase at 2128 Montauk Highway, a parcel described at the meeting as containing beach vegetation, dune land, bluffs, beaches and freshwater wetlands.
Tyler, who provided the staff summary, said the property received an approval in 2008 and that multiple easements affect the site. According to Tyler, the easement language allows a rollout-style walkway and requires that a rollout walkway extend to the crest of the dune "So rollout walkway going up the dune and then a set of stairs." Tyler also described easements along the north side covering wetlands and along the south side covering the dune and a buffer.
The Chair introduced the item as the first decision to be heard at the work session and read the property's address and general resource constraints into the record. The transcript lists a Suffolk County tax-map reference in the application announcement, but the map number is unclear in the record and therefore not specified in this article.
Before further deliberation could proceed, the moderator announced a technical difficulty and paused the meeting, saying the session would restart; the moderator apologized. The board did not record a vote or formal decision on the application in the available transcript excerpt.
