Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We have no public hearings tonight, so we're going to go right into discussion items. 505 Lincoln Street Mixed Use Site Plan with Heather Trojanowski. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, everyone. I believe we have the applicant and their representatives here. And if everyone could just state their names for the record. Kimberly Judge. Kimberly Judge. 737 Roanoke Avenue, Riverhead, New York, for the applicant. Jim Matuszewski, 510 Fletcher Drive, Riverhead, New York. Martin Sonowski, 215 Roanoke Avenue, Riverhead. Hello, everybody. All right, so the planning department has received and reviewed a site plan application seeking approval to convert an existing warehouse building to a mixed-use building with nine apartments on the second floor and an entry lobby, laundry room, and commercial uses on the first floor, which will include retail and art studio and then warehousing and storage. Site improvements include lighting, landscaping, drainage and paving. And subject parcel is located at 505 Lincoln Street, identified as Suffolk County tax net number 600-128-1-4. And it's currently approved with a 7,737 square-foot building. And the site has a total area of approximately 13,056 square feet. And the site has a total area of approximately 13,056 square feet. It is within the Village Center Zoning Use District, so all of the proposed uses are permitted under that zoning. Surrounding uses include residential on the north side of Lincoln. The Long Island Railroad is to the south, and there's a warehouse on the adjacent parcel to the east. If everyone is familiar with the area, the Polish Hall is directly across Sweezy Avenue to the northwest. And I just included some site history in my staff report. According to New York State Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, this was originally called the Long Island Potato Exchange, and I did include a brief history of the parcel and its uses. The last known use, I believe, was for a contractor's warehouse, and then it was sold, and the applicant is proposing to alter to do the apartments and the mixed use on the ground floor. So just to skip to, I think, one of the most important aspects of the site plan application is parking. Again, if you're all familiar with the site, there's really no place to park on the subject parcel. I believe most people probably have parked historically along Lincoln Street. And the cumulative uses, the total required parking, based on the square footages, would be 30 stalls, pursuant to town code. When the applicant originally made this application, it was back in 2022, and they had proposed to take a 20% reduction per town code 30162 , which would be permitted, where credible evidence is provided by a licensed traffic engineer, just to demonstrate that the peak parking for the different uses doesn't occur at the same time. And they also, so they had taken that reduction, and they were going to provide off-site parking. At the time of the application being submitted, that site was not identified. I know the owner of the property was working on finding, off-site parking that would satisfy the parking requirement. Town code does permit you to do that, but it has to be within 200 feet of the subject parcel. I could let the applicant sort of give a brief history on that and how we got to where we are today. Or if Marty wants to, or Kim. Okay, hi, Kim Judd. The applicant has a site at 817 Pulaski with an approved site plan, and with, and plenty of parking spaces. Ideally, what he wanted to do, what the applicant wanted to do was to work out an off-street parking arrangement with Polish Hall. They are agreeable to doing that, but there's a lot of logistical things that have to happen first, such as a survey. The board, the Polish Hall board has to approve it. The parking lot would have to be repaved. I don't know if you've been there lately, but it's in rough shape. So there's a lot of repairs that have to be made. Ultimately, I think what we would like to do is have the off-street parking for this site at Polish Hall, it's right across the street. That is the ideal situation. And they are amenable to doing that, and my client has talked to them. But for right now, because there's so many things that we have to work out as far as getting a plan together, the survey. They haven't done a survey yet, so I don't think they're going to do that. But they're going to do a survey. They're going to do a survey. They're going to do a survey. They're going to do a survey. They're going to do a survey. They're going to do a survey. They're going to do a survey. They haven't done a survey in recent years. I know they came in for a subdivision. But they were also in, excuse me, they were also in litigation with someone in the back of their facility, which tied it up for a long time. So they had some issues that they had to square away before they would grant us the permission to park there. So we're waiting on that, and that will be the ultimate goal, because we want to provide closer parking for the building. You know, obviously make it more rentable to have the parking space. You know, obviously make it more rentable to have the parking space. You know, obviously make it more rentable to have the parking space. So we're going to be building a lot more parking space on the parking course street rather than 600 feet away. Where is your other property? 817 Pulaski, from the Quonset hut on Pulaski Street. The Long Island Brewery. The Long Island Brewery property. And where we're building currently in process of building a storage facility in the back. So they have plenty of additional parking. They've got an approved site plan. They've got formalized parking spots there. So that is the goal for right now until we can get things squared away. We're going to apply to the zoning board to use the off street parking at the 817 Pulaski site. And just to dovetail into that, so the design professional did provide a shared parking utilization plan that showed the distance from where they're proposing to utilize the 30 stalls at 817 Pulaski. And that's the same parking space that we're going to be using for the 817 Pulaski site. So that's the same parking space that we're going to be using for the 817 Pulaski site. And, you know, there are two distances that are shown on the plan that I provided the board. One is sort of as the crow flies. So it crosses through the Polish Hole parking lot. And, you know, this will be before the zoning board. So if they were to grant this any conditions, I'd imagine they'd want some sort of easement, you know, guaranteeing that pedestrians will be able to cross that site since the applicant doesn't own it in order to get to 505 Lincoln. But should that not occur, you know, for in any case if the Polish Hole were not to allow access, we'd want to make sure that the zoning board is reviewing the, you know, distance going along the public right of ways. So there are sidewalks near the corner of Marcy and Pulaski and then along Pulaski Street and down Sweezy. And that distance is, I think, a little over 800 feet. So we'll have to bring this before the zoning board. And the denial letter, I feel, should be based on the zoning board. It should be based off of the longest distance. Obviously, the applicant and their representatives can make the case to the zoning board. But they'll be needing relief from Chapter 301, 231H of the Town Code because if you're going to utilize offsite parking, it needs to be within 200 feet. Right. It says 630 feet. That's only to the property line. It's probably closer to 700 feet to a stall. Yeah, that's going across the Polish Hole lot. And if you look, there is another line. It's kind of faint because of the way it printed out that runs along Pulaski Street. But the little box says that the total proposed travel path, if you were to go along the street lines, is plus or minus 876 feet. I don't know what kind of business plan that's going to be to have retail stores on the bottom with no parking and your closest stall is 700 feet away. I can only say that Farm Country Kitchen got a variance for $575. That's what we're close to. And that's going across a busy highway at Farm Country Kitchen. It is. That's a bad model because the illegal parking going on there is out of control. And someone's going to get run over there. It's terrible. And he has a sign at his other business that's not even on his approved site plan at his art gallery there or whatever. And very few people use that lot for parking. I just went by it today. People are backing out in the street. That created a situation that I didn't vote for. It doesn't matter. I don't think we're going to be able to do it at that time either. One other challenge that we have is when we originally submitted the site plan, we indicated improving the south side of Lincoln Street in front of the property that allowed us to have stalls, public stalls. Based on the review, and I believe this came through the fire marshal, they want to have a no parking zone in front of the building in Striper Yellow. So instead of us improving it, we actually were pulling the curb more onto the property and the sidewalk onto the property to allow nice organized parking along the street with handicap cuts and all that. Now we had to push the curb right out to the line. You can't use town parking. You can't use . Yeah, right. No, I know. But I was just talking from a more logistical point of view that there is parking there now that people were utilizing on the street. But that's going to go away. The parking on the sidewalk is what they're doing. They're parking on Lincoln. They're parking on the other side road. What's the name of the side road? Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton. Yeah, I did speak to Mike Zaleski, the superintendent of highway. And he doesn't believe there are any parking restrictions along Lincoln Street. So I mean, you know, people will park there to be proximate to the building. But like you said, pursuant to town code, I think it's 301, 231 I, land provided by the town of Riverhead that includes the town roads can't be utilized in the parking calculation. Right, and if the fire marshal's going to have it striped, you're not even going to have those. Right. But Mike did mention that he would be fine with the proposal of the city's performance in the city of Hamilton. He said that there are some performance improvements, you know, the crosswalks and the sidewalks that they're looking to add in should the off-site parking be allowed. Obviously, you know, permits would be needed. But he said he was fine with that from a highway standpoint. Just another thing that I wanted to bring up. So the ADA parking and accessibility pursuant to town code 301, 231 M1, our town code bases the number of accessible whereas ADA standards based the number of accessible stalls on the number of parking provided so it's a difference between two and one so I know that they demonstrated that they could provide all 30 stalls at the 817 site but in doing that they would need a minimum of two accessible stalls both per Town Code and per ADA you know Town Code you can appeal to the Zoning Board for relief I don't know how it works with ADA so I mean if you were to try and take the 20% reduction you would only need one stall and then again you could still apply to the Zoning Board for relief from the two stall requirements that's just something that I've been sort of wrestling with because it's an odd situation there really is no room on the site they were able to squeeze one accessible stall in on the western portion of the property where they're proposing to demolish that small 78 square foot 75 square foot space but there's no other feasible spot to put an accessible stall on the site just based on you know the existing building when do you expect to have an agreement with Polish Hall as far as that he's both Polish Hall it has agreed that they will allow us to do that and it's just what us working out the terms for that you know what would I do for that obviously I've been a parking lot and it's in disrepair right now but in the meantime you know there's a lot of legwork that had to be done so I said Kim let's continue because I have 64 extra spots additional spots over my parking requirements at 817 which are not going to be utilized at all and I believe the building the terms of the of the sale of the building to the south of Polish Hall which is on their property I believe one of the conditions was that that lot has to remain open that they can't block it off both the new owner and Polish Hall Greg can you speak to that yeah so that was a silverback holdings as the border recall is probably last year the old building was Googie and Gus's flooring back in the day they did a two lot minor subdivision one of the requirements of that subdivision approval was that they need to file a shared cross-access and parking agreement and the agreement that there will never be any sort of physical impediment so it was it would still function as one parking lot so that was a part of that approval for that subdivision which still has not been finalized or signed by the chairman. Right, and keep in mind that St. Isra's, the funeral home, Polish Hall, and the town use our parking lot on a regular basis with, you know, no one's ever asked us to park there, but we allow everyone to park and utilize. I have people that live on Hamilton that are parking in front of the brewery right now. I asked, there's two cars that are always in the same spot. So it is kind of an unwritten rule for all of us there, Polish Hall, the church, and our lot, to keep it open at all times. Sunday Mass, our parking is completely full, all from the brewery, all the way around the Soul Cycle, all the way around into the front of our entrance on Marcy Avenue. So we do kind of respect other people's parking, and when Polish Hall has an event, they use our parking. If we need to use their parking, they do. They have no objection right now. It's kind of an unwritten rule for all of us there to share the parking. When there's funerals or weddings, they bump into Polish Hall. When that gets full, they bump onto the Marcy Avenue side. So we have an unwritten arrangement right now that seems to be working out very well for us. One of the setbacks was the sale through Silverback, whether they were going to close off that corner or not. And from what I understand, it is being left open, correct? I mean, it has to be. It's one of the conditions. Well, I appreciate the sentiment that everyone shares in the parking. If this goes to the zoning board and they grant the shared parking utilization plan, I'd imagine that whatever stalls are going to be earmarked for the 505 Lincoln site, there'll have to be some sort of permanent easement guaranteeing that those stalls will be used for the proposed, you know, what you're proposing at the Lincoln Street site. So it's just something to keep in mind. Keep in mind, the Polish Hall is ultimately the best plan for us because it's close. Like you said, if somebody, you know, right now on the lower floor, we have an artist in there, and it's one car, it's one person. He parks on Lincoln. He's there maybe three days a week, and he rents the majority of the floor on the lower unit. And that's not going to change after the apartment's going. That will not change. So it's really one additional car lot plus however many cars for the nine apartments. But ultimately, the distance from Polish Hall would be the best plan for us. But we're trying to get moving because of the length of time that it takes, and there's still a lot of legwork for us to do. And until we can work it out with Polish Hall, we wanted to try to move forward with the 817 Pulaski lot. So I guess we're going to get a denial letter. Yes. And then send it to the Zoning Board of Appeals. I mean, it doesn't change the fact that the proposed action is type 2 pursuant to secrecy. Really, it just changes the fact that there are 19 friendships in the apartment space. Really, there are 19 friendships in the apartment space. else that's in my report, you know, park and recreation fees, should it go through, you know, it's $5,000 per residential unit. And I just wanted to make a note, 301-309 is not the correct section of code. It's 301-304. We had a little hiccup in our E-code where all of the numbers were wrong. That's since been fixed. So I just wanted to make a note of that. But really, all of the other sort of details in my staff report, including landscaping, and comments from the engineer, would be worked out after they go to the zoning board. Because the, you know, the project is really predicated on whether or not the zoning board would grant the relief being requested and what the conditions of such would be at this point. Now, Heather, what's the total 30 parking spots are required for this project? Yes. Based on all of the different uses and the square footages, it was calculated a total of 30 would be required. I mean, if they utilize the section of... If you have a town code that allows you that 20% reduction where a licensed traffic engineer could demonstrate that all of those uses are not using parking at the same time, I think the total number of spaces would be 24. Because, Kim, I know the area. And, Marty, there's no parking there whatsoever. And I called Greg, and the Polish Hole would be the perfect spot. I mean, that's relatively close to where... If you have groceries... You don't mind walking that far. But, like Greg says, you need an easement. And I would never vote yes on 600 or 700 feet walk. You're not going to walk that, especially if you have a small child or if you have groceries or whatever. That's a tough walk. And that's in good weather. So, at this point, we would have to issue a denial letter, and they would go before the zoning board. My biggest question to the planning board is, you know, are we going to go by the longer distance where the pedestrians are going to be able to walk? Are we going to go by the longer distance where the pedestrians are going to be able to walk? Are we going to make sure that the pedestrians would be traversing along Pulaski, down Sweezy, them crossing through the polish hall lot i don't know how you can do that yeah yeah so and that's what i had spoken with ann marie about she's counseled to the zoning board so i just want to you know everyone be on the same page that that's what they'll be going well he has written a letter uh the polo show has written a letter i gave you a copy of it that said they we have permission to have our tenants walk across their property to to access to the lot so that would be a record because i didn't see yeah i mean we haven't even had a public hearing yet so but she has i could provide you with copies are you saying that if you get the agreement from polish hall that you can park there yeah or you can get access there oh we could park there we we can get access or park whatever letter we need uh well there's a big difference between the distances yeah yeah but keep in mind uh with non-departments and and yes we need the required parking of 24 but hamilton street sweezy people park on it now and some of those people will be parking on those roads i mean there's no you can't think that they're not going to park directly across the street from the park of the building where there is overnight parking and there is parking and to say that they're not but you say you have 600 feet with a baby no kidding but you know there's also spots directly across the street right but there's no guarantee that those spots will always work for a time to be open right and i don't disagree with that argument but you can't just throw the code out the window and say here we have to increase that's why we're really pushing to get poles whole because we can uh we can meet the requirement the statute and then parking like i said it is an open parking area that we all kind of share and i think that would be the best application for us for sure yeah the idea initially was to have them come in for an administrative site plan to improve the Polish Hall lot and then move forward with this application. They still would have needed relief from 301-231H because Polish Hall, even though it's a commercial structure, is within a residential district. The zoning is RA40 and that section of code actually doesn't allow the parking spots to be located in any residence district and we all, you know, knew that but again because it's taken such a long time the applicant has decided to go forward with this plan. Okay. Any other comments besides the parking? One question. What are you going in front of the zoning board for? For the distance. Oh, to allow that. I saw around the plan that one of the units was over by like 500 square feet. Wasn't there a requirement of 600? Oh, not in this. Are you thinking the accessory apartment code? Yeah, that is accessory apartment is 600. Yeah, I don't think there's a... There's size restrictions on apartments. I know in the DC-1 zoning district but I don't believe there are... In Village Center. I'll double check. I don't think there's any requirements in Village Center. Yeah, I went through the Village Center code sections. I didn't see a minimum floor area in Village Center. As long as I meet the minimum requirements for building code as far as room sizes and egress are concerned. Okay. Nobody has any other questions? Well, if you're going to get the... If you do get it from the zoning board, what you're looking for, is there any kind of lighting that you'd provide for people walking that distance in the evenings? I mean, I think the zoning board, that would be a consideration when they, you know, weigh the benefits and the detriment to the neighborhood. If they were to grant it, I can't speak as to what they would condition. But if the planning board, you know, wanted additional lighting, that's something that we'd probably have to work out with highway and street lighting. I think if a, you know, young woman with small children coming home in the evening, you know... There is street light now, I think, on the pole in front of the building. And it would depend on what was done at the pole. So our new parking lot that we're putting in now... Right. Yeah, it's very well lit. Okay. Well, I'm just talking about, you know, where it's lit the entire distance, you know, that there's no dark spots because it is quite a distance. Right. Anything else, gentlemen? No. All right. Okay. Thank you, Heather. I just wanted to introduce it to the board and get the ball rolling. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Thanks, Heather. All right. Moving right along. Comprehensive plan update with Matt Chardish. An update on the update.

It's sort of an all-hands-on-deck situation. Just to give the board an update of where we're at and where we're going with the comp plan. I know everyone, at least the public, I get a lot of questions to where we are. Somewhat of a lengthy project. I know COVID kind of put a little slowdown on that, but we are right on schedule. I gave you guys a staff report that kind of summarizes everything just now, so I'm going to go through that with you. Touches on basically the highlights, what we've done, and where we're going and what you guys should expect going forward. So the first section kind of deals with a time frame. As you know... We had an original consultant, but in 2022 we moved on to BFJ. Getting a much better product out of them. I think everyone in the department is very happy with the work that has been done so far. So they've worked to kind of assemble everything, get new information. The planning board remembers in March of last year, I think they came to this board and all other boards with a questionnaire on what we're looking for in the plan. And then moving to the town board. Then we started to go through the secret process. So in July of last year, we classified this as a secret. Type 1. Moving on into November, the town board did assume lead agency and issued a POSDEC and accepted the draft scope on the comp plan. In December was what was first the steering committee public hearing. So that took a lot of public input. Had a public hearing on the draft so far. And then since January, we've been reviewing draft chapters and recently reviewing the DGIS. So moving on from there, on page 2, you can see 13 chapters. The most relevant for this board is going to be future land use. All good stuff, I think, is coming our way. So I added some highlighted sections of what I think is good, what's changing, what's coming for you. So in terms of industrial areas, I'm going to be looking at a new industrial zone. So this will be Calvert Industrial. So this is the old Industrial A, Industrial C will become one district. Are they including industrial on the north side of 25? As of now, yes. Really? That's my next section. I'm sorry. That's okay. So the FAR in the new CI district will be reduced. Well, that's the recommendation from .4 to .25. But still have the ability to go to .3 with the use of TDR. So we wanted to make sure in the plan that there's a better market for TDRs. So our recommendation is industrial zones is probably a good place to land them. That's where people are needing. Additional height, stuff like that. All in all, coverages are going to be down in that zone. They will be able to do increased height. Right now, it's limited to 30. It's proposed to go to 40, but using pyramid law. So basically, if you wanted to go up to 40, A, you'd have to use TDRs. But then the building would have to be set back further back from the road. So the idea that the further back you get, the less of a visual impact you're going to have, along with buffering requirements, stuff like that. The next section, so this will be industrial areas outside of the Calverton Industrial District, which is, you know, Ed, you brought up. So this is north of 25. This would be, oh, yeah, so light industrial. So a little bit more, less intense, more, we're thinking like special trade contractor uses, stuff like that, storage, not as heavily as industrial zone would actually prohibit any of the heavy industrial uses that we currently see. And again, similar. So the coverages. So the F.A.R., that's all going to drop in this new zone should it be adopted. Moving on to number three, we have TDR recommendations. We're going to change the TDR formulas in certain areas. New sending areas, RB80 and RA80 will be added as sending areas. They're currently only receiving areas. With the idea is there's a lot of farmland in these areas that's worthy of preservation. So why not make it a sending area as well? There'll be, there's a proposal for an assisted living overlay zone. So this will be bounded by. Route 58, middle road, Northville Turnpike and Osborne Avenue. A developer, if they did come in for assisted living, they'd have to utilize TDRs and would have a lot coverage not to exceed 30% even with TDRs. And then on 58, really just to make it look better. So we want to see better landscaping, more walkability, probably reducing parking requirements because our parking requirements are pretty high. If you notice, we have, you know, in some of these older developments like Home Depot, we have a lot of parking requirements. There's a sea of asphalt. I don't think anybody wants to see that. Those parking lots are never full. And then on to the last page, hamlet areas, just to incorporate design guidelines into those areas, just so we have like a look and feel for each one of our hamlets. And it'll, you know, it makes our job easier, it makes developers' jobs easier. We want to make sure any kind of commercial that's coming into these hamlet areas is going to really mesh with like the vernacular of the area. So we don't want any weird buildings that don't really make sense for our smaller commercial areas. So we're going to have to make sure that we're not just going to have to have a lot of construction. We're going to have to have a lot of construction. We're going to have to have a lot of construction. We're going to have to have a lot of construction. And then in terms of code cleanup, we're looking to add a use table. So we actually have a better definition of what uses are allowed in each zoning use district. So again, it makes things easier for us and developers. And that's pretty much it. So we're going to have to make sure that we have a good use table. And then on to the last page, we have a lot of construction. We want to incorporate design guidelines into those areas. So we have a lot of construction. We want to make sure that we're not just going to have a look and feel for each one of our hamlets. And it'll, you know, it makes our job easier, it makes developers' jobs easier. We want to make sure any kind of commercial that's coming into these hamlet areas is going to really mesh with like the vernacular of the area. So if there's a chunk of space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, if there's space in there, developers that's pretty much it so going forward all the work we've done so far all the draft chapters they're up there on the town's comprehensive plan website the town board very shortly is going to be getting the DG is and the and the draft plan once the DG is is accepted it's going to go out to interested agencies the planning board is an interested agency so probably behoove the board to review those documents what does trend into transmitted and come up with some comments on the appropriateness or anything that needs to be changed so that'll be in the next couple weeks there's an approximate ending date August it's my last point so we're right we're right on schedule yeah FDG is the finding statement on the cop plan adoption of the end of a great in August of this year Matt quick question on all that extra parking that you have in front of Tanger Home Depot are you guys going to do that or not? to allow maybe a small business maybe a satellite or something I mean it would depend so they'd have to demonstrate whatever we so where would take up so the parking would be there but just to bring everyone up to speed so the cop plan is gonna be a broad policy document with recommendations to change code to change policies in the town so after we adopt the plan then like the really fun work happens of adopting all the code changes so one of the code changes we probably need to change parking requirements and make them less you know less burdensome in those areas so if they could meet the new parking requirements and yeah I think and coverage requirements they could do pad sites and stuff like that okay did you say the DGIS would would be out and finished by August the plan the fun everything everything's gonna be done at the same time and the DG the draft the DG is will be done in the next few weeks so the town board is gonna get that okay and once it's accepted it's a very like yeah timeline down by secret by secret adoption policies for complains in town law that's it it's it's coming to a close I think which is everybody's very excited about a lot of good stuff so that's kind of what's happening in the background you guys have any questions keep at it no good good taking up a lot of our time lately it's been a lot of fun I think All right, at this point we're going to have public comments on resolutions. Not too many takers today. Okay, let's go right into resolutions. Okay, I'll move resolution number 24, I'm sorry, 030. Granting approval for preliminary plat on printed places. 25 lot major subdivision. So moved. Okay, we have moved and seconded. May we have a vote, please? Mr. Zelnicki? Yes. Mr. Hogan? Yes.

Mr. Zelnicki? Yes. Mr. Hogan? Yes. Mr. Baer? Yes. And I vote yes. Motion carries. Second. At this time, public comments on all matters.

Okay. Can somebody move the minutes of the... Move the minutes of March 21st. Second. Moved and seconded. May we have a vote? All in favor? Aye. Aye. All opposed? On another note, on other business, I came up with something. I don't want to discuss it tonight because my colleagues and staff haven't seen it yet. I'm going to pass you down. Copy. STAFF, I HAVE THEM FOR YOU TOO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE THOUGHT IS TO PUT THIS ON AS A DISCUSSION ITEM AT OUR NEXT MEETING. THE ISSUE WOULD BE ONE-WAY TRAFFIC ON SECOND AND THIRD STREETS. THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS COULD BE REDUCING CONGESTION ON SECOND STREET, INCREASED PARKING BY ADDING ON-STREET PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD ON SECOND STREET AND THIRD STREET. IF THE BOARD WOULD DISCUSS IT AT THE NEXT MEETING, IF WE THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA OR A COURSE OF ACTION, IT WILL BE THE PLANNING BOARD AGREES AND SEND IT TO THE TOWN BOARD FOR RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THEY HAVE A TRAFFIC AND SAFETY COMMITTEE STUDY THE ISSUE. SO NOTHING, NOT A BIG DEAL. JUST A QUESTION. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ALL THE WAY ALONG? NO. JUST THAT ONE BLOCK? YEAH. I THINK TRAFFIC ENGINEERS CAN DO MUCH BETTER THAN ME, BUT I THOUGHT AT A MINIMUM THIS WAY AND THAT WAY BECAUSE THERE REALLY IS A TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND A PARKING ISSUE THERE. NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. BUT TAKE IT, YOU KNOW, HASH IT UP. YOU KNOW, NEXT MEETING WE'LL DISCUSS IT AND SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. GOT IT. THANK YOU. THE NEXT MEETING DATE IS THURSDAY, MAY 2ND AT 6 O'CLOCK. HOPE YOU CAN ALL MAKE IT. STAFF, AS USUAL, HAVE A GREAT DAY. BOARD MEMBERS. YEP. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MOTION TO CLOSE, SOMEBODY? AYE. SECOND. MOVED AND SECONDED. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. OKAY. MOVED AND SECONDED. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL OPPOSED? HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, EVERYBODY.
