Task force discusses advising planning board on EV‑ready parking for new developments
Summary
Members debated whether the Climate Smart Task Force should provide nonbinding recommendations to the planning board and developers — for example, encouraging new parking lots to reserve stalls for future EV charging — citing a Suffolk County planning commission suggestion.
A resident and several task force members raised the Kelly apartment project and the planning board's recent approval, noting the Suffolk County Planning Commission had recommended developers plan for future EV‑charging stalls in new parking lots. Members discussed whether the task force should produce nonbinding recommendations or guidance the planning board could reference.
One resident urged the task force to create a structure for outreach to developers so they understand available incentives and the village's expectations. The Presenter said the task force could prepare a recommendation and work with the trustee on code or policy referrals; members agreed that, at minimum, the planning and zoning boards should be able to request the task force's opinion on energy and EV matters.
The group did not adopt formal policy at the meeting but asked staff and members to draft potential recommendations and to improve communication channels between the task force, the planning board and developers.
