Thank you. [transcription gap] Thank you, everybody. Okay, I have one announcement for today. A reminder that Sunday, June 1st, is the East End Mosaic Festival. It's right downtown on Main Street. It begins at 12 noon and runs until 5 p.m. Again, that's Sunday, June 1st. And I want to say it's like their 18th or 19th annual. I know it's been there quite a time, and it's pretty interesting. On some of the artwork that's done on the roadway, they purchase squares of asphalt and have that as their blank palette. And then they just go out and they decorate and color. And that's it. Really do some neat stuff. So if you get a chance, stop on down. Noon to 5 on Sunday. All right. We're here for work session, open session today. First matter we have is matters surrounding Riverhead in Action video in support of National EMS Week, and that's with Councilman Rothwell. Yes. Good morning. So I had the great opportunity, along with the supervisor, to go up to our VEC, and we did a nice little video for Riverhead in Action, kind of talking a little bit about the things in which, they do and how they are comprised of in volunteers and what the future looks like for our VEC. So I think we've got a great video at this point.

Hi. This is Tim Hubbard, supervisor of the great town of Riverhead, and you're watching Riverhead in Action, a media campaign designed to highlight the incredible work of the 350 plus employees that comprise Riverhead's 26th department, and the town events, projects, job openings, local businesses, and other town happenings. I hope you find this informative and enjoyable, and thank you for watching Riverhead in Action. Good morning. We are here at Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps. I'm Councilman Ken Rothwell. It is EMS Week, and so we're here to honor all of our EMS personnel, Riverhead's finest men and women that provide emergency services and technicians here throughout our town. My name is Pat Gugliotta. I am the district manager here. I'm Garrett, the president of the board of directors. And so we have some of our paramedics and EMTs also on standby here today. They're here 24-7, and at any given moment, they're ready to respond. We've got a lot of advanced life support systems we're going to show you here. We're going to give a tour of some of our ambulance and some of the equipment that they have here on site. We're standing out in front of one of our advanced life support ambulance here that RVAC provides. Since COVID, a lot of the equipment has dramatically increased, but of course, every year, technology is increasing. So Pat, tell us a little bit about that. Tell us a little bit about the cost of this equipment and what's involved in terms of providing it to all of our... Sure. This is just some of the equipment that we utilize during a cardiac arrest, and the stretcher being obviously one of the most important ones we use in our calls. Prior to COVID, this stretcher cost about $20,000. After COVID, this stretcher now goes for $35,000. We just had to buy all new tablets because the last ones we bought in 2015 were about $2,000. Again, they're $3,500 each now, and we have to supply all of our vehicles. This Lucas device, the first ones we bought were $13,000, and now that we have to replace them, they are $20,000 a piece now. Video laryngoscopes, this right here went from $1,200 to $2,000 just in four years. Vital piece of equipment for us, the cardiac monitors is a big one. The last we paid for the cardiac monitors that we had, I believe it was $30,000 or $35,000, somewhere around that. These monitors here, we paid $60,000 a piece. [transcription gap] These monitors here, we paid $60,000 a piece. [transcription gap] So we need five sets of everything. Plus two responders. The only thing that don't go on the responders, obviously, is the stretchers. But they get the lupus, they get the cardiac monitor, the video laryngoscope, the tablets, and all the other equipment that we need in order to provide care. So just to explain to our general public that's watching here, many times if, God forbid, somebody's in cardiac arrest and they're going into the ambulance, there's a perception that the ambulance immediately takes off and gets to the hospital as quick as we can. But with advanced life support equipment, you guys can almost do everything in which the ER can do right here inside your ambulance. Sometimes that ambulance remains still for a little bit while we're doing IV lines, while we're getting a 12 lead on the cardiac monitor. And so to get the best technology and the best results on the cardiac monitor, that ambulance needs to be still for just a little bit. Yes, correct. And then it's off to the hospital. Yes. All right. And we're going to get a little tour about what individually some of this equipment does, right? So this is our lupus. It helps us with manual compressions. It accommodates a wide variety of patients. And it helps our staff from getting exhausted with doing manual compressions. And this is our cardiac monitor. It helps us retrieve vital signs, EKGs, and monitor a patient during cardiac arrest. And this is the one scope. It allows us to visualize the vocal cords when intubating a patient so that we can protect their airway. So we are inside the ambulance bay here at Auerbach. And as you can see, we only have inside storage for three. We have five ambulances. We have five, including multiple first responder vehicles. So tell us a little bit about what else is necessary. So we designed a building that is the bare minimum of what we need, but still gives us a little bit of room to expand as the town of Riverhead expands as well. It's going to be a three-story building with five bays so we can store all of our ambulances in there. But it will be five double bays. So we'll have the ability to store ten pieces of apparatus inside instead of outside. The building itself is going to allow for our crews when they're not on calls. It gives them a place to sit. It gives them a place to eat. It gives them a place to relax. It also has offices. It has a training room, which we do not have right now. And it has a meeting room, which we do not have right now. So the new building is going to certainly give us a lot more room, but it is a minimum of what we need for now. It gives us room to expand. Your team has gone around the town of Riverhead. We've looked at all the buildings. We've looked at all the potential locations. But we like Osborne and Route 58 because it is truly centrally located. You're near a lot of the senior development complexes within the area. So this is a crucial site. So we are actually going to take down this building for a portion of a few months. You guys are really going to be working out of your vehicles while we construct a new building. And so that part of the selection and how we go about constructing a new business is kind of have a prefab building that's going to essentially arrive on site for a quicker response in terms of a turnover from tearing down this building. And in. In. Installation of a new building altogether. In addition to protecting our equipment, it's making an all around better services to protect our volunteers as well. Our EMT staff and paramedics giving them proper resting quarters, kitchen areas, some of these, some of them working around the clock, 24 7 shifts. So for them to come back from one call, be able to sit, maybe get something to eat, relax a little bit, and ready to respond to the second full. So an ongoing, continuing process. And we also want to have appropriate facilities for our members. To. get clean here so they don't take whatever they encountered here to their families. A lot of our members have new children, senior citizens at home. We don't want them getting sick because they're here at work helping the community. So in conclusion, I want to thank all of our volunteers and staff here at ARVAC. It is EMS week, and so we are grateful for the men and women who serve our town here on a continuing 24-7 basis. We have the future in front of us right now, and we are looking at a new structure, new facility here all together. I just want to talk a little bit about how we plan on putting that together and covering the finances. We're looking at starting the medical billing. It's been a success for the last few years. Thank you to the town board for letting us go ahead with that. But that money is being used to buy all the equipment that was shown to you guys today because the tax funds just isn't enough money to keep up with the rising cost. But with that money, we're also putting a lot of it away into a capital reserve to help pay the debt service on this new project. Thank you. Thank you. And we're hoping to hopefully get most of it covered with donations so we're not putting a tax burden on our elderly community and our younger community. We're actively starting that campaign process right now to help raise funds to build our new facility here so we can continue that 24-hour protection. So thank you all. Congratulations to all of EMS week. We're grateful for your 24-hour, seven days a week, 365 days a year. You guys are amazing what you do. And I can tell you firsthand, these are some of the most talented individuals that are here in our community. So thank you. We're so grateful for your service. Thanks, hon. Thank you. Nice. Nice job. Very nice. I can't say enough about our team up there. They are incredible, the work that they do, the caseload that these mostly volunteers handle is incredible. The equipment, the stuff, I mean, I learned a lot just being up there watching you do this. The equipment today is amazing. It's expensive, but it's worth every penny. And you don't want to cut corners in certain areas, and that's one in particular. So they are a great group of people, and we appreciate everything they do. I commend the entire town board for their support in the upcoming project to rebuild a new facility there. But like I said in the video there that much of the services they do, they provide the same level of care that you would typically arrive in the ER and receive right there in their ambulance. Yeah. And that's wonderful. Yeah. [transcription gap] Yeah. The timing is critical. So when somebody is in cardiac arrest, we have just a few short minutes, you know, for the survival rate. And so this equipment is necessary. And I got to tell you, with the equipment that they've had, we have an incredible rising of life saves as we had in our presentation last week here during MS Week. Giving out those CPR awards life saves was amazing. And I know we just had another one this week as well after that event. So. So with that great technology, with the expertise in the EMTs and the paramedics that serve the community, like I said, they're an amazing group of people saving lives every day. So always grateful and look forward to opening that new facility soon. They started up in 1978, and I will tell you, prior to 1978, the ambulance service in town was an old international. Vic, I'm sure you remember this. In the 80s, Malcolm Stewart was a parking meter officer and a constable, and he worked on Main Street. And when the police department got a call for an aided case, they would call him in off of Main Street. He would pick up this old international, kind of like a Suburban, and it had a stretcher in the back and it had the bubblegum dome light on top. And he would run to wherever it was, and it was just called load and go because nobody really had any training in first aid back in the day with the police department. It was just a matter of having a vehicle with lights and sirens to get you to the hospital fast. And that's really what it was. And the siren in it was, you had to pump it with your foot to get it to go. It was right down where the high beam button is in older cars. And you would pump it to get it going to its highest amount, and then you would take your foot off and drive for a while, and then it would slowly decrease in volume and you'd have to pump it again to go. It's amazing to look at what is there today and what they can do in the lives that they're saving. It's incredible. Plus it also shows how old I am. I was going to say you really dated yourself there. It was going back. But it's interesting where it started at and where it's at now. It's incredible. All right. Let's move on to the second matter. We have matters surrounding proposed amendments to business center and shopping center zoning use districts. And that will be with our senior planner, Greg Bergman. Good morning. [transcription gap] This morning I just did a couple of additional photos to support and give you an idea of what we're potentially looking at. Thank you. All right. So in furtherance of the comp plan, we're proposing some changes to the business center and shopping center zoning use districts, which are generally centered along Old Country Road. I believe if you go to page 6 in the packet, 6 or 7, I provided just a clip from our town GIS, which indicates the locations of both of the zoning districts along Old Country Road. As you're driving down Old Country Road, the BC and the SC zoning districts are virtually indistinguishable. You know, there's no real clear definition of where these zoning districts start. The existing shopping center zoning district, the language within that text is pretty old and outdated. The permitted uses in shopping center, in shopping center zoning district currently include shopping centers with a minimum size of 50,000 square feet, office campuses, health clubs and spas, restaurants, and indoor sports and recreation facilities. So it sort of led to some interpretations, you know, a quote shopping center is a very vague definition. You go in and read the definition. You go through the 301-3. You'll see like where did this come up with, you know, where did they come up with this? So what we're looking to do, and there is a recommendation in the comprehensive plan, which is on the first page, that talks about providing flexible zoning framework that allows the repurposing of vacant and underutilized properties. It specifically calls out Route 58 being the main commercial corridor in town. So the shopping center zone, the areas that we'd be looking to rezone, are some of the major shopping centers. You've got the Restaurant Depot shopping center and the BJ's shopping center, the old Kmart on the east side of 58. The shopping center zone district also includes the Target and the Dollar Tree property on the north side of 58, the old TJ Maxx shopping center, and the Staples and Harbor Freight shopping center. What we'd be looking to do would be some amendments to this. The shopping center zoning district text to basically bring over the same types of uses that are permitted in business center. Modify the purpose and intent right now. The shopping center zoning district prohibits or discourages strip and freestanding development. But when you look at some of those existing shopping centers, for example, the Restaurant Depot shopping center, there's a large vacant parking lot up towards 58 that's never used, and that property. So to just sort of further the comp plan and really capitalize and create some tax base in these underutilized areas, we want to allow some of the same uses that we allow in business center, retail stores, personal services, health clubs and spas, banks, and also allow drive-through windows that serve restaurants. Now the packet that I just provided to the board are some examples from up island, a little bit west. There's one of the Wegman shopping center. The Wegman shopping center in Lake Grove, which Wegman's was just recently brought in. There was a new anchor tenant. That site had been vacant for a while. There were a lot of vacancies in there. So that shopping center saw some revitalization. And you can see along Middle Country Road in that red box, they redeveloped that vacant parking lot up along Middle Country Road. They included two new pad sites. I don't know the tenants yet, but one looks like it's shaping up to be a restaurant with a drive-through. Another pad site. There's another site. There's another site on North Ocean Avenue in Farmingville. It's called the Expressway Plaza shopping center. They recently infilled that site with a Chick-fil-A. And there's another shopping center in Islandia, the Dave & Buster's, the old Walmart, current Walmart shopping center, where they essentially, same thing, just kind of redeveloped those vacant parking lots along those main corridors to bring in some additional uses. Again, I'm of the opinion. Old Country Road has approximately like 38,000 daily vehicle trips a day. I mean, it's the main commercial corridor. I don't think putting a couple of additional pad sites or maybe a potential restaurant with drive-through would significantly change the overall traffic volumes along 58. All of those shopping centers that I mentioned, Restaurant Depot, BJ's, Target, Staples Shopping Center, those are all at signalized intersections, so it's likely that there probably wouldn't be a tremendous amount of traffic mitigation. So, again, that's something that's going to be required. Again, just utilizing this underutilized space, you're redeveloping vacant sites to increase some tax base and potentially get some new sites in town. So, where like Restaurant Depot is now, that large parking lot, the parking lot's oversized at one time. Was it calculated at one point that this is how many parking spaces that you need? And has anything changed, like different today, that we now can give up some of those parking spaces? Yeah, so I believe the old code when a lot of these shopping centers were developed, the parking requirement for retail was one per 200. The parking requirement for retail is now one per 250. So there was a relaxation of the parking requirements. And, you know, let's face it, the retail market has changed. You know, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, you'd go to a place like Smith Haven Mall. When I was a kid, the shopping center, you know, the parking lot was completely packed. Now you go and it's almost a ghost town. Yeah. So, again, we can look at some of the parking requirements. Again, we're not changing any of the dimensional regulations. Right. You know, if these shopping centers look to redevelop at all, there is a component that does require TDRs if they're looking to exceed a base development threshold. This is another potential to get some TDRs out of it. And, again, any shopping center or any place that comes in for redevelopment would be required to comply with all the dimensional regulations, parking requirements. You know, we're not looking to relax anything. But, again, if a shopping center came in to redevelop, they can demonstrate, you know, they can provide traffic studies, licensed engineers that the planning board can utilize in their review. And if they find that certain parking demands for certain uses don't coincide, they can provide some sort of flexibility with the parking. So, pretty straightforward in terms of the shopping center amendments. I've got one question for you. Yes. In B, it says special permit uses. Why is a movie theater a special permit use? So, that was, there was actually a proposal back when I first started with the town in 2015, 2016. There was a proposal to redevelop the current Restaurant Depot shopping center with a movie theater. That proposal sort of went nowhere, sort of died on the line. But that's what that was brought in as an amendment. Do we have to, can we move that up to permitted uses? And why does it have to be a special permit? I mean, that's a question for the board. I mean, I'm not really sure. Movie theater, movie business is not really booming right now. I'm not, if we get a, if the board wants to add it as a permitted use, I would have no problem with that. But I mean, that would likely, you know, I don't necessarily envision in the near future a complete demolition and redevelopment of these sites. I kind of envision more of it as a way to infill, you know, like those vacant areas, you know, like in the restaurant, the Restaurant Depot. The Restaurant Depot shopping center, Target's got a big, you know, sort of that secondary overflow along 58. If the board wants to, you could add it as a permitted use. I wouldn't have a problem with that. But it's not necessarily something that I kind of envision these shopping centers completely demolishing and redeveloping. Yeah, I don't see, I mean, I'm not saying that shopping center has to be demolished. I look at Big Lots, for example, right? They may just retrofit that building into a movie theater, is my point. Without making it. Without making it onerous and making it a special permit, you know, where it's applicable. The other one is, you know, to the west of Target. You know, you have Dollar Tree and there's something else in there. Just so it makes it easy for somebody to get in without a special permitted use. That's one. Second thing I'd like to ask is, and I know Matt's not here, he was here. We did discuss, and you'd have to clarify this for me. We talked about is, you know, Do you know where the Verizon store is, you know, it's adjacent to the Staples? The Verizon store right on the circle, the pad building? Yeah, yeah. Is that part of the Staples property? That is actually, yes. That's part of that. No, it's not part of the Staples shopping center. It's part of the Dunkin Donuts shopping center right on the circle. So they're two different owners? Yes, I believe they are. Okay. So we had discussed in the TDR committee the ability to do, as we don't, none of us can see the future, retail or whatever, you know, none of us can. But we did discuss the ability to do assisted living there. You know, it could happen now, five years from now, ten years from now, with the use of TDRs. So I would like to, you know, add that, you know, just to your point about, you know, retail is pretty much, and even Big Lots would be a great place for assisted living. Who knows how long that's going to stay vacant? But with the use of TDRs, plus its proximity to the hospital in that particular location. I think Dawn, myself, Matt, and Richard Wise had this discussion. I would agree with you, Councilman. I don't have a problem just making movie theaters number 11 take away the special permit use, just so that, you know, it becomes a little more enticing, so that it's more accessible. And maybe, should there be an interest from anybody, that they would feel the process was a little more simpler. And there's also VR stuff going on, you know, in theaters. And there's more stuff happening in theaters that are more electronic and interactive than just movies. Yeah, I mean, I'd have no issue adding that. I can amend, I can take that out as special permit. We can put it in as a permitted use. Great, thank you. We often get asked about movie theaters on the website. And movie theaters went on the campaign trail. But residents really do seem to want a movie theater in town. And we tried back in the day with that property where Restaurant Depot is now. And they just, they couldn't come to terms with it. And the further it goes on, the more, like you said, it's kind of a dwindling business, so to speak. Because everybody's got every streaming service at home. You don't have to, you know, you don't necessarily have to go to the movie theater. But it is very nice to go and see on a big screen and with sound effects and everything. Certain movies should be seen on a big screen. So I would enjoy having a movie theater in town for sure. We can do that. And it is worth noting that I believe, and Karen Gluth is working on that project. But I believe there were discussions about if a movie theater was going to come there, you know, one of those major national chains. They were looking for a drive-thru restaurant. They wanted right at the front. Sort of in that same pattern. Absolutely, that's correct. That would likely have come up if that project and that proposed development went a little further. We may have seen that. Correct. We'll head over to D améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric améric [transcription gap]

améric améric That's the Drieck Specchio piece. That's sort of in the middle of Tanger. That site recently got approval. That site had approval, I think it was like 2008, right before the market crashed. It's about 30,000 square feet of manufacturer's outlet center. That site plan recently got final approval from the planning board at the last meeting. Again, I don't know whether or not they're ultimately ever going to build that. I mean, look at the vacancy rate in Tanger. It probably wouldn't make good business sense to go and build 30,000 square feet when they're struggling to fill the existing space. But they have an approval. I don't know what's going to happen with that. Just a couple of other small tweaks to both the business center and the shopping center zoning district. I'm bringing into the lot yard bulk and height requirements, explicitly calling out the 35-foot front yard unoccupied buffer in both the shopping center and business center. Right now, that's sort of a small subscript in our dimensional regulations and has frankly sort of been missed and not really always picked up on. So I'm just bringing that to the forefront so any potential developers are aware of that. Incorporating some supplementary use regulations, specifically regarding drive-thru windows. We don't really have any standards in our code right now about restaurants with drive-thru windows. We've seen it. Certain places where it can create traffic issues. There's the Starbucks and the Dick's Shopping Center. I know it can get very packed when people come into that. So we're establishing minimum queuing length for the drive-thru window just to ensure that there's no impacts to the shopping center itself or County Route 58. Really just kind of establishing minimum standards for those. Drive-thrus. I've got one question. In here, I know it's mentioned somewhere else. Should we put in here what the parking space width is? So that's in our, that's in the, I think it's in 301-231. It's already in the supplementary use regulations in off-street parking. 10-foot by 20-foot parking stalls. It gives the board responsible for review discretion to do 9-foot by 20-foot double-striped. Okay. [transcription gap] Okay. Okay. [transcription gap] Okay. Okay. restaurant Depot is if something was to come there would there be a requirement for them to have plantings or bring in some kind of berm structure to kind of shield it that it doesn't look like it's right on the road yes uh not necessarily a berm but that that would be captured in that 35 foot unoccupied front yard landscaped area so for example if the restaurant Depot site came in for redevelopment they would have to incorporate that 35 foot buffer along 58. um we didn't when they when the restaurant Depot came in for their site plan we didn't really capture it at that point no they were really bad well it's just I mean it is so that that site is sort of unique it's actually several different individual tax back numbers so they came in for restaurant Depot which is on the eastern side you know it's a separate tax on the eastern side of that property um really the the vacancy in that site you know to have them at that point incorporate that 35 foot buffer didn't seem appropriate at that point but if it comes in for significant redevelopment where they're constructing new buildings along 58 yes we would look for that 35 foot landscape buffer area I would like to say that since uh restaurant Depot went in there they really have spruced up that shopping nice job redoing it yeah they really stuck to their word from when they came in you know their application so that's really good yeah no I mean I you know just from a perspective you know for been here for going on nine years now when I started here the vacancies on 58 it was pretty widespread but if you look at it now yeah there's a couple of you know a couple of stores that go in and out getting redeveloped getting refilled I mean you look at the BJ shopping center they've got pickleball DSS in there's a couple of other medical offices going in there you know vacancies along 58 have really come along I think we've done a good job the old so abges property there is something is going in there it looks like there's movement yeah so so so so so so It looks like there's more. Yeah, there's there's a well So they they did some clearing on there to install a sewer main to connect. I believe the what the old blockbuster building Yes, they had to there was negotiations with the sewer district So they did some clearing on the back end of that property to install a sewer main which will connect to the office complex to the west, okay In terms of the old sergeants rec center building there is a proposal for bargain molding to go in there They just had an administrative site plan approval They need to tweak their plans a little bit. There's some issues that they're dealing with the landlord We're trying to get that site Good that's a bit of an eyesore up there right now. Yeah I mean that could only make it for how long and getting anything in there some life into that I know that the residents would really really like a Trader Joe's I hear it all the time Especially when we were through during the campaign season Craig is the shopping centers owning in the business centers owning a they only in Riverhead or is it is that same? zoning of her like in waiting River now that there is no business center of a shopping center of waiting River the Commercial district and waiting River is business CR. The country rural There is no includes like the King Holland Shopping Center. Yeah, but there is no business center or shopping center This is just strictly along The shopping center is only along 58. There are a couple of business center parcels along East Main Street as you get towards 58 but there is no point of ! ! 25. [transcription gap] 25. 25. 25. [transcription gap] 25. no shopping center zoning district in Wadenboro. Okay. And just one other last kind of touching base. So there is a prop, there are a row of five properties along Harrison Avenue. Now this is just to the west of the target shopping center, Dollar Tree, Planet Fitness. Currently those properties are zoned shopping center. I do recommend we rezone them commercial residential campus. Reason being there are basically single family residences once you get north of 58 along Harrison Avenue. Don't necessarily think it would be appropriate being that we are changing permitted uses in shopping center. A drive-through restaurant probably wouldn't necessarily be appropriate along Harrison Avenue next to restaurants. So CRC could go in, you know, we could see we are gonna work on a rezone for CRC. We are gonna work on that next. But you know, you could see a little townhouse development. You could see some offices. I just don't necessarily think a shopping center type use of drive-through with a restaurant would be appropriate. When we work on CRC, can we work on that piece? I got you. Okay. All right. The little triangle piece? No, there's a piece, well, there's a piece that's across from Home Depot west of Mill Road, on the west side of Mill Road. Okay. Oh yes, yes, I know exactly what you're saying. You know, right? Yep. And that would be perfect. Yeah, that kind of fell in a loophole there. Yeah, we get it cut through to Costco and relieve a lot of the traffic. So we're looking at that. Thanks for that. Okay. So you're talking about the little triangle piece right next to Taco Bell. Everybody's always trying to be creative on that piece of property and put something on it. There is a proposal before the planning board to have a public hearing next week. There is a, you know, someone wants to build a small office building on that piece. And again, it's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, I remember that comment. Very creative with how they're doing it, but a small. Is that where they wanted to put Sonic at one point? No, that was on Osborne and 58. Oh yeah, by the, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right next to the gas station, the ambulance barn. That's right. That one got approval and kind of went nowhere. I think this is great. It gets rid of a blighted look for empty parking lots, gives it some vitality, and these little shops will make people want to go into the other shops. That's the thought process. It's great. Perfect. All right. All right. All right, next up we have Mr. Bergman again, and we will do matters surrounding special permit application of Duffy MX Motocross Track 2822 River Road, Talbot. They're here. This here? Yep. Come up. Come up.

! Hello, how's everyone doing? Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good morning guys. Good morning. Guys, you just want to state your name for the record? Thomas Wolpert, Young & Associates, Project Engineer. Daniel J. Duffy, 10th Street Motocross. Hello. [transcription gap] Hello. [transcription gap] Hello. Hello. guys you just want to state your name for the record Thomas Wolpert young associates Daniel J Duffy 10th Street motor bus Vic Pershnovsky and it's all working with the team oh right all right bring some reduced copies of the site that's good thanks everyone that's too reduced yeah so we have this is actually an application that was submitted a while back you can't even walk in as you'll recall this came before the Planning Board just before the town board adopted the industrial moratorium at that time the application was incomplete so since then we've raised the town board has rezoned the area to light industrial which now says that racetracks are a specially permitted use so we're reviewing both the site plan and the special permit it's a 15 acre parcel of land located at 2822 River Road Calverton again zoned light industrial the applicants proposing to create a motocross track associated parking and landscaped areas provide a total of 256 parking stalls the property is currently improved with a two-story single-family residence see we received a updated full environmental assessment form there are some minor clarifications that need to be made so the main proposal on this property is to essentially excavate about 120,000 cubic yards of material give or take which will require a mining permit from the New York State DEC that's something we have to sort of wrestle with they want to get down the existing grade of the property install a noise mitigating fence along the southern end of the motocross track so this is a full headlet motocross track and establish a motocross track which would be open the applicant instead would be open five days a week they intend to have special events and races there which could bring a number of patrons to the site the applicant did submit a noise mitigation study i'm not a noise expert i do recommend that the town board we are within our rights and it is allowable in our town code to retain professionals to review the data you know we want to make sure that there are some sensitive receptors there's an existing horse farm that's located directly to the south of the property and there's some residences along river road dirt bikes can get pretty loud i would just want to make sure and have someone who's a qualified noise engineer sound engineer to review that and we're willing to do that of course we we have somebody that we're ready to retain but we wanted to get through this special permit well i mean that that's someone that that's that wouldn't be retained by the apple that's someone that the town board would select you know we would review qualifications of it the town board would select that right the person that they would look to review the document uh there was some traffic data that was submitted in along with the noise study so this applicant did operate a site in ronkakuma they kept data in terms of number of riders on the data site and they kept data on the data site and they kept data on the data site and they kept data so they didn't have full data so they didn't have full data so they didn't have full data so so they didn't have full data so they didn't have full data so they didn't have full data so they have a pretty good so they have a pretty good feel for the typically number of riders that would be using the site on a so they have a pretty good feel for the typically number of riders that would be using the site on a regular basis however they did not have feel for the typically number of riders that would be using the site on a regular basis however they did not have they acknowledge in the report they didn't have race days or those special events in Ronkonkoma so that's just something we'd have to look at again I mean they're providing 256 stalls so it's not really you wouldn't expect to exceed 250 so cars on the site it is located within the compatible growth area so there is a clearing restrictions we'll refer this to the pine barrens during the secret coordination process but this is just to get the ball rolling I will prepare for the town board it is a type one action so I will prepare for the town board resolution seeking lead agency and circulate that request to involved agencies I love it so just a question in terms of this is like professional use or is this going to be like open to residents I know it's a day riding facility as well as a racing facility and it's amateur racing it's not a professional but like but residents can of course sign up of course in fact we offer training as well okay so I think projects excellent awesome total support my only thing just looking at the site plan of it most of us I mean I have we have uh BMX bikes and things like that and I and uh just in terms of like parking I think that most people are going to arrive with the trailer you know connection someone on the back of the pickup truck so to speak but is it just everybody's coming through on one side by the gate no so they come in right right where your head is there right and then they drive up either to the main parking lot which by the way that big main parking lot isn't only going to be open it'll only be open during events the smaller parking lot can more than accommodate the number of day riders that we normally you know have so just because I see like the berm in the back here I mean to me you just drive straight through so that's just so you like I mean I want to look nice It's like a target parking lot. I'm just trying to think. I don't envision really trying to get a trailer. You're going to unload from the back or the sides on some of them. So trying these large stalls may be a consideration of removing this berm, making more just simple drive-through. I'm glad you mentioned that. Easy loading and unloading. Because I think that's the majority. That's what I'm going to do. I've got the back that folds down, and I pull our bikes out of that. So just kind of thinking that to make it a little bit easier. I don't know if these are single parking spaces and how you're accessing, but I think the majority of people are probably going to come with trailers. Well, yeah, unfortunately. This is a great level of excitement. I just think maybe the configuration over here, making these more drive-through stalls where you can just load and, you know. Right. To address the fact, the question about the number of racers, it's an online registration, and you have to put your vehicle dimensions on your registration. So it's pretty well maintained. Yeah. Parking is a state of art. Are you getting assigned like a parking stall number or something? Exactly. Exactly. You'll know exactly where you're going. And we're going to have parking police, you know. When you come in and sign in, my son will take you right to where you're going to park. Just to clarify on the Pine Barren's compatible growth, the line only really goes through the entrance from River Road. Okay. That's where the line actually comes through like this. And it doesn't really go. This is not the, let me see here. This is incompatible with the entrance. That's the flag, yeah. Right. The line goes through there, which I think we're going to have delineated on. Well, I think that's the, I think you're referring to the wild scenic recreational river. Right. I think you're referring to the entire parcel is within the Pine Barren's compatible growth. Oh, the compatible growth. Yeah, the DEC line sort of bisects the property, I believe. Right. But the entire parcel is within compatible growth. The biggest thing on this site, you know, obviously, the mining of the site. Right. You know, there's no test hole data. We want to make sure, do we need to provide test hole data? We want to make sure. We're going to provide that. Make sure we don't inadvertently create a leak. Well, we have to put in a mining application with the DEC. And it's to take off the light material, and then we're going to return material to create the track. Okay. And the town gets paid both ways. When you take material off and when you bring material back on, the town gets the fee, which will be paid. I think you could scrape the track. And then you can take the topsoil off. Yeah, we're using the topsoil. We're definitely using it. And then no topsoil leaving the property. I think this is a great proposal. I also read a concern about, you know, the drainage going back into the aquifer. You know, it's not going to be a sand pit. It's basically, you know, we're going to go back in there with topsoil and actually create the track with the topsoil. Okay. And then we're going to use light topsoil and hydro-seeding to get the green back. Because we don't want the erosion either, you know. So there's no asphalt used? No asphalt. No, this is a stone blend. And those are the two parking areas. Actually, this particular location, the stone blend is the town regulations. That's all we can use is stone blend. There's no asphalt there. It's per the regulations of the town. Do you want to take a look? Quads also or just? Yeah. Two wheels. Yeah. Yeah, you know, and it's, you know, we just don't let people run out there and go crazy. There's organized classes for each individual skill level and vehicles. So quads don't get mixed in with me bikes. Actually, this gives an alternative to use these bikes, which sometimes now are used illegally on open property in this town. So this gives a good alternative. Even as far back when I was on the town board, we used to have a problem where these, when these dirt bikes first came on. They were being illegally run on open because we have a lot of open property in this town. And even stuff that's preserved in the Suffolk County and the town preservation, you know, farmland program. So this gives an alternative so people can ride these bikes without going illegally on property. What days of week would you be operating? Monday to Friday. Monday, no. Monday and Tuesday we'd be closed. We'd open Wednesday through Sunday. What do you charge? What do you charge? I'm curious what's the fee? 11 a.m. No, no, what do you charge? Oh, charge. I really don't know. The day riding fee would be $80. And then there's an annual membership. It would be $2,000 for a single. And if you want a family membership, it's $2,000 for the first single and then like $500 for the traditional family member. And that's unlimited riding. The racing. Everybody's going to have to pay for the racing because it's an AMA sanctioned event and we have insurance and whatnot to be covered. And, you know, as I was watching the EMS week, I'm all about that. Back in Riverhead we used to make donations all the time. Everybody would pull in. But we were a smaller organization. But I would definitely, you know, entertain. I want to be an integral part of the Riverhead community. And we definitely want to entertain, you know, fundraising and especially with the EMS. Because, you know, as a law with the AMA, we have to have two ambulances on site during a race day. So I don't know if, you know, that would be a part of your, you know, or I'd have to get a private ambulance crew. But we could do both. We pay like a lot of money. It's like $10,000 to have those two ambulances. Hopefully do nothing all day, you know. How deep are you looking to mine? It's, we go down nine feet at a three to one grade. And then I think it goes down to about a mile. And then I think it goes down another, how about that? I think it goes down to 20 feet total in the middle. Right. So the noise, a lot of work is to create the noise berm. I know when I worked on the race, the big race track project 15 years ago, the last race track that was built by NASCAR in the United States is in Las Vegas. And what they did was they did a cut and fill to direct the noise up. So you'd meet the noise on it. So the, we would put on the race. We would put on the record and be part of the site plan and even the special permit resolution that we would definitely meet the noise standard for the town of Riverhead. We'll be required to meet that threshold. And I think we do. I became quite an expert with noise with my last track that was located literally in the middle of Long Concama, right by Strathmore Bay. And no one knew we were there. We, it was a flat piece. We used firming and didn't dig down. But sound is all about line of sight. All right. If you put a truck in front of somebody, you can't hear them because the line of sight is obstructed. And the obstacles, you know, that you put up, being below grade, and it does leech over. Okay. And that's where this accrues defense comes in. It actually absorbs the sound. It's amazing stuff. And what happens, we have, yeah, I actually did a field test. I used an actual air horn from a marine air horn that's 108 decibels. Okay. I put up a 60-foot section of this fence. That's great. With, you know, with poles and strung it up there. I dug a hole that was only seven feet deep because my machine was getting stuck in the sand. I couldn't dig much deeper than that. And then it's 225 feet of our parking lot. And I intend to put a 14-foot berm with noise vegetation. You know, noise-absorbing vegetation because the pit area is also going to have motorcycles in it. And they're going to be started up and, you know, they're not going to be racing around, but they are going to generate noise. So basically, I scaled it down. So I only dug a seven-foot hole. We're digging, you know, nine foot down to 20 foot. And with the 225-foot parking lot, distance always helps noise. Okay. A bike is 98 decibels. Okay. I did 108. Okay. At the property line, that 108 is 58.2 decibels. Okay. And from my understanding, we can't have 65 decibels or greater leave our property line. Right. So we have to meet that. Or float over to another property line because you can put an attenuation wall up and it goes over it. And, you know, 120 feet away, it's, you know, louder than it is right on the other side of the wall. And that's it. That's natural. Believe me, I am all about keeping the neighbors happy. All right. And the most important thing I saw when I saw this property was the wind direction. I know it sounds crazy, but these houses are south-southeast of us, and the wind comes in from the southwest. During the summer months. All during the summer months. Primarily. Yeah. Late fall, winter, and early spring, which we're close. Post January and February. That's when the wind would be blowing towards them. And that's a huge factor. When the wind is blowing towards us, you can't hear it. You will not hear it. You won't hear a thing. When the wind is dead, you're going to hear some noise. You know? It's not going to be anywhere near 65 decibels. It might be like 58, maybe 56. Ambient, without any noise in that area, just within a sound meter, is 48. A car driving down the road is 83. Oh, I'm sorry. 81. A Harley is 83. Oh, and, you know, I hate to pitch it, but they're coming. The electric revolution is here. Just like Tesla's driving all over the road. All right? There's already a bike being sold for two years. Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki is going to be all electric by 2035. It's not as fun. You want to know something? You want to know something? You really don't hear the bikes. I mean, the power delivery is different. I want to hear. But they're faster. And that's going to drive. This whole sport is driven by racing and by competition. All right. Two-stroke bikes went out of business in a year because the four-stroke bikes were faster. And they're louder. And they're louder. They're already racing an electric bike in the arena cross series. And it's cleaning up. So the AMA is backing off. And they're not letting these bikes race. Because it's going to kill the entire gas industry. And they're going to get rid of the AMA. [transcription gap] Because they're lighter. [transcription gap] the consumer, these bikes go through chains and tires. That's it. Maybe some brake pads. And again, they last twice as long. I'm going to have to put charging stations in. But I don't think the sound, in 10 years, it's going to be a moot point. There's not going to be any gas bikes left. But again, you can't... Oh, there's also a couple of things that we did for the noise mitigation. The track layout itself. So all your houses are right here. If you look at the lane directions of the track, none of them are pointed towards the houses. We have that one straightaway kind of over there, but that's coming towards us here. So we kept all the exhaust pointing in the proper direction. It makes a big difference. It really does. If you're in a race, or if you're in an air show, and a plane is coming, once it goes by you, you don't hear it. Until it goes by you, you know, well, I guess it sounds better or whatever. But, and, what else? The track layout, the wind direction, hours of operation, 11 to 5, 5 days a week. You know, there's a total of 8,544 hours in a year, and we only operate 1,760 hours. All right? So I know everything means a little bit. And then 30% of the time, okay? We have full head lights, full head lights, full head lights, full head lights, full head you're not going to hear anything. The kids on little mini bikes going slow. The other class that goes out are novices, who, again, they go very slow. They don't, you know, the experts, yeah, they're going to be ringing out, you're going to hear them, you know. You're not going to hear from the houses. The fellow with the horse farm, I didn't introduce myself to him yet, but he's a friend of a friend. I know his uncle quite well. I don't think they're going to have any problem with us. You know, the neighbors, you know, I don't think they're going to have a problem. In fact, the guys from the Peconic herb farm over there, they're already champing at the bit to get jobs parking cars and stuff, so I'm like, okay, you know, no problem. I don't recall, how far away is the horse farm? It's directly adjacent. It's across the street. Across the street. And wasn't there a private daycare? They don't have horses anymore. No? No. I wasn't going to say anything, but they have. They've imported horses in, like, well over a year. That's Anthony, right, for the Ramy? Oh, I know. Wasn't there, like, a private daycare or something nearby? I'll have to double check. I mean, if it was a home daycare, we may not necessarily have a record of that, but I can look at the... I seem to recall that. So I think this will be a really exciting project. I can tell you firsthand. I mean, I own over a dozen different types of ATVs. Everything that we have is up in New Hampshire, because there is no place to ride here. Yeah. And it's just, I mean, years ago, we used to go different places, but it become obsolete here. Well, this would provide that. So it would be nice to bring somebody home. Yeah. It would also be a legal way of riding the bikes so they don't illegally ride on the open space that we have in this town. Yeah. And that's private. All ours are up in New Hampshire, because there is no place to ride, you know. The only thing I think we'd consider is on the design for the secondary parking lot, you know, to think about a secondary entrance. Thank you. I think if you make, you know, most of the places have, like, specific area for riding for ATVs only when you go in and out of the parking lot. Like this. Right. And I don't know why. Why do we have that little divider in there? Is that dry wells or something? But I'm just saying, like, if you put a gate, for example, here, the idea is to not get everybody to take all their bikes and cars and drive through to get to the gate. No, of course. If you had an inside rail where they go on and they still go to this car. Well, here's where you come in here. To make it more safe. All right. And this is where you drive to get to that parking lot. I'm saying after you want to look. Right. And you get on your ATV. Oh, yeah. If you're parked here, you don't want to drive through the whole parking lot. No. If you had a secondary gate, you can go behind the wall to the start line. Well, there's only one entrance and exit for the track. The entire track is surrounded by a perimeter fence. Yeah. All right. That's for safety for the riders that spectators don't jump on that. That's what I'm saying. And deer. Yes. Deer will be running across here. That's what I'm saying. If you considered a secondary gate here, it's like a six-foot wide path that was inside. Oh, sure. That would prevent everybody from riding their bikes through here, through there, because that's where this time is that they're not kind of at random Yeah. Well, again, in race instance, you can't, because this is like the pit area. They all pit where their vehicle is. But in day riding, everybody's going to be parking up in here anyway. There's not that many people that come day riding, unfortunately. I wish there were more, but you know. Consider a secondary entrance so that when they're unloading, they're not going through. Sure. There are two sets of parking lots on the other side. Well, actually, I think there is one, but it's not on this illustration. I don't see anything in here. That's what I'm saying. I just think it would be beneficial to you to get them and not have to flow all through. For the track itself, you mean? Yeah. So I unload my ATV, and now I'm off my quad. I'm parked over here. Am I driving my quad through everything to get through here? Or do I have a secondary entrance to come through? We're going to have a gate there anyway, but I didn't intend for it to be an entrance for the track itself. It's a gate for maintenance vehicles that get in and out and drive around it. I think you should consider somewhere a pathway inside the realm where everybody is. Before I forget, there was one other issue on there about the water in the house. Oh, yeah. So it's a question of this is no longer going to be a single family residence. Right. So is the intention to have spectators? I mean, I see a couple of porta potties there. This is strictly porta potties. Nobody's going to be even allowed in that place. You know? We might have to go to the office to sign up, maybe. Or we might have a viewing night with a bunch of guys hanging out watching Racist on TV or something. But the porta potties are where they're going to have to go to the bathroom. Because you've got to realize something. These guys are covered with mud. You know? They're not. It's hardwood floor. I'm not wrecking that house. So I don't know if porta potties are allowed on essentially a permanent basis. I don't know if the health department allows it. Health department issue. Yeah. They do it on golf courses. They do it on golf courses. They do it on golf courses. But they're not allowed on a temporary basis. So you're not operating in the winter. Golf courses don't. They pull them off. And then they come back in the spring. And they're cleaned twice a week. Yeah. Exactly. You mentioned day rides. Your operations are from 11 to 5. So you say there's not a lot of clients that are day riders. Are there night races that are going to happen? No. OK. No. But 11 to 7, I think it was. Right. Oh, I thought you said 11 to 5. 11 to 7? What is it? It's 7. 7 PM? think that this is really good I think that there's a lot of people that will utilize this outside of our area you know I really don't like to say this because it sounds like a like a sales pitch the kids it's really very important these kids yeah I'm sorry I appreciate the kids having something to do and family is doing something it's a family-oriented sport and the kids are heartbroken we got shut down in Ronkonkoma I should have bought the property really should have you know but we got shut down it wasn't big enough but still you know a couple of hundred kids right you know that I watched them grow up you know one of our kids just got second place in the North National Race in California there's a multi-millionaire now so great so the next step would be you do a resolution to start the clock yeah so well so well I'll put a resolution in for secret coordination of it there needs to be a couple of minor amendments that were detailed in the report just minor amendments to the EAF and I would just ask that some test hole data be done just to determine and a sound study yeah so I mean there'll be a resolution I mean we've we've consulted I believe we've used sound sense in the past for some noise studies one that I recall we did a when we when they put the acoustic fence up behind stop-and-shop yep I believe sound sense reviewed those those numbers so we use them before with good results so we can certainly utilize them again so I can put I can put in a call to sound sense see if they'd be available for you know put together a proposal for the consultation I mean that's just my recommendation yeah do it it's up to the board you know there's something that that's that's absolutely my recommendation yeah I might know by no means a noise engineer don't want to wrap myself to be asked we need to have have certainty you know someone who's qualified to review this look at proposal to ensure that so you can do two resolutions to you know start secret coordination upon you know receipt of an amended EAF again I would just ask for the test hole data to be done to confirm depth to groundwater you don't want to accidentally create back to them so you have a clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear [transcription gap] not even around i don't think they're in business anymore but i can literally you know pull that pipe up out of there and tell you how deep that well is and it's actually lower than the rest of the property kind of slopes up a little bit you know i don't know if that's well we have to we have to we have to order an official test well right uh well i mean i do do test hole data but i mean the the issue so this property is not located within a water district i will refer the application to the fire marshals there may be a need to bring in some type of water supply in the event of an emergency but i think the fire district is right near us though so yeah i don't think there's any pipe right now and that i can confirm but i don't believe there's any public water to this site but again you know in the event frank told me it went right up to the end of the property yeah it might be uh yeah i can i can the pipe may be but if this property i believe is not in a water district extension if they need to bring public water if there needs to be a hydrant there for some type of you know firefighting emergency you know that's something we're going to address and okay well we will have active well on the property and as far as the fire marshal we do have a a like a side-by-side emergency vehicle that's for taking people off the track if they're injured or if um you know there's a fire we have fire extinguishers on it and a tow rope could take you know i don't know if that matters i mean that that's something you know we'll we'll refer to the fire marshal we'll get their comments okay if a well can can provide whatever fire flows they need for you know the type of use not saying you have to bring public water but it's something that may come up i think it's we're right at the pipe is right there i think what frank told us but whatever we have to do i hope this encourages more recreation because we've been sitting on industrial land for a long long time hoping and wishing we're going to get you know big pies in the sky and you know we're going to get you know big pies in the sky and we're going to get you know big pies in the sky but recreation is great and it's things great for kids so you're going to prepare those resolutions right okay just last of going over for sound mitigation is most of the track going to be sunk in a little bit so yeah the low grade the idea that's yeah it's kind of really can't see it but that's that's a nine foot three to one depth to the first lane and then it goes down again and we put the higher obstacles you see the higher obstacles are going to be in the middle of the track yeah because if they're jumping close to you know they'd be up over there as opposed to i'm not i'm not a proponent of sand mining but you can you can dig down and use that and fill in these these other areas of higher areas higher levels of berms to kind of for noise you know so i think maybe i could definitely put a bomb but pulling them out all out in here so looking on the elevations just that you know i did entertain with with less i did entertain with the sunken down that's going to be your major noise litigation so is the house that's depicted in this picture is that the existing that's the existing oh yeah yeah and there's a little canopy right next to it right it was a tasting room okay room like that's the existing one yeah and then you can see the room that's the existing room when the fella had the wine i felt so bad he built his little dream then he died the family wanted nothing to do he had a sailboat everything i'm looking at that i'm like maybe it's some kind of curse i get done with this so you're going to do those resolutions then right greg yeah i mean i'll need to get the the first resolution will be the secret coordination i'll obviously reach out to sound sense and have them put together a proposal i don't know how quickly he'll be able to prepare that if it's not for the next meet the board meeting next week as soon as we get that proposal we can prepare a resolution so it's accordingly okay all right so that's that's kind of important to me i have a kind of a seller giving me a hard time about you know taking two years well part of it was the what's that sorry the public hearing you're talking about we had the What would that be? We have the war torian. I would like to take out in the industrial, I know we made recreation by special permit. Well, we didn't make recreation special permit. We made motorized race tracks special permit. Right. Because those carry more impacts than just a couple of sockets. It's not accurate to say we made recreation special permit. I understand that, but what's the difference? You still, whether it's special permit or not, you still have to go through site planning, everything we're going through now. Correct? This is correct. So why would we make it a special permit? Because you need the town board? Well, we're already in the special permit. I know you are. We're not going to change it, are we? I'm just asking the question. We don't want to delay this anymore. I like having a special permit to have a little bit more control over something that might be, rather than a given use of the property. Yeah. I think a special permit kind of gives the board a little more control over what goes in there. But planning, if planning, if it doesn't meet, if the permit doesn't meet the requirements of what you're doing, then that's, you know, it doesn't work. In other words, if a permit, if the sound didn't work, it wouldn't go through. Well, we're going through it right now, so we're, we want to just. You guys have fun. Hopefully, John's team doesn't want to. We're ready to file. Right, right. You need this, right? I have it. Do you have an actual one? Yeah. This is an actual one for you guys there. Thank you. You have it? Maybe Greg wants to. Yeah, you too, Julie. Okay. So we're on our way. Thanks. And if you notice, I put the river head down slag. I did see that. A little. A little ACDC there. You see that right there? Okay. So thanks a lot for your time, and we're on our way. Thank you. Excellent. Very nice to meet everybody. I know your names. I feel like we're all friends. But there's one thing I want to say. Do you want to say something? No. [transcription gap] I feel like we're all friends.

Brett Morais. Do we do an event every year? Brett Morais. Tell me all your backgrounds. Don't listen to Brett. He went to high school with him. I know that. I did. Thank you.
