5:59Thank you.
6:29Thank you.
6:59through New York State, as you mentioned, Empire State Development.
7:02It is for rehabilitation of buildings in downtown areas that need revitalization, such as ours.
7:12We've done multiple projects through the Restore program in the past,
7:16including the Hyatt Hotel and the Long Island Aquarium.
7:19Also, the Georgia Green Building Riverhead Lofts was a Restore project.
7:24It's a public-private partnership opportunity, and the town has to be the applicant,
7:30so we are not providing any funding toward the project.
7:34We are just the conduit through which the grant is processed and awarded.
7:40The applicant is going to be Jay Petrucelli.
7:42Well, the beneficiary of the grant would be Jay Petrucelli, Development Associates,
7:47the master developer for the Town Square project.
7:50The grant is $2 million, would go towards the hotel project,
7:54specifically.
7:54A portion of that would be towards the demolition of the building,
7:59and the other portion would be towards construction.
8:01I've been working with Brian DeLuca and Steve Schroeder on the application,
8:06and we're getting close to being done.
8:09Part of the requirement of the grant is that we have a public hearing,
8:12so that if the public has any questions or concerns, they can address them.
8:16That's it.
8:17Okay.
8:19Ward, do you have any questions?
8:21Get the money.
8:23More of a demand.
8:24More of a demand.
8:24Do we have anybody from the public who would like to comment?
8:34Good afternoon.
8:36John McAuliffe from Rolling Woods, Roanoke Landing in Riverhead.
8:41First, procedurally, I had sent two letters to the board,
8:46and they don't show up on this list.
8:48I don't know whether there's some procedural problem
8:52or whether I should resend them.
8:54I don't know.
8:54I don't know.
8:54I don't know.
8:54I don't know.
8:54I don't know.
8:54I don't know.
8:54I don't know.
8:56What were they regarding, John?
8:58One was regarding our last encounter and introduced the letter that appeared in the news review about the process of how EPCAL was going to be handled.
9:11And the other had to do with an action that the Chamber of Commerce and you were taking regarding a new business in town.
9:21I saw both those letters.
9:22Did you send them to the town council?
9:23I sent them to all the boards and the clerk at the same time.
9:28Well, I will certainly look through my email and circulate that, and I'll put it on the list.
9:32Okay.
9:32Yeah, no, you were away, I think, and maybe—
9:34I was away for two weeks.
9:35Yeah, and I'm using your direct address, and I think I should be changing that to your institutional address, though.
9:43Right, if you make it to—yeah, that way you'll have a growth of that.
9:45Okay.
9:45All right.
9:46At any rate, what I'm going to say now is not EPCAL Watch, just to be clear.
9:52This is a personal concern.
9:53Well, this is a public hearing.
9:56This is about the hearing.
9:56No, no, this is the hearing.
9:58I just wanted to get that done.
10:01The hearing is what I'm speaking to, and this is in not any way critical of Mr. Petrucelli.
10:09He's done an admirable job for the town, and he's somebody that's obviously very close to the way things operate and are done in the town, and that's fine.
10:21But I do have serious—
10:23I do have serious reservations about this—the town being involved in facilitating his constructing a hotel in what was about a third of the original town square land.
10:37Now, people say one word or a picture is worth a thousand words, so I did this picture, which shows the original concept of the town square.
10:53And then the design as it appears with Mr. Petrucelli's hotel.
10:59And as you see, it's a very—it's really taking what is land that was obtained by the town using public resources and giving away—not giving it away, because I understand there's tradeoffs and he's funding other things.
11:16But it's essentially sequestering what is public land.
11:23So there's a lot of space in there.
11:25And, you know, there's arguments for that at different times,
11:29but I think we have to realize this is the one chance.
11:34I think I'd just like to correct you on some of what you're saying.
11:37That's fine. I'm just going from what I've read.
11:40That drawing is very old and also the original.
11:43Do you want to? Yeah, go ahead.
11:45Certainly. Initially, I would just point out the only way that this grant is eligible,
11:51we're eligible to get it is through the municipality.
11:53The project is a $30 million project.
11:56The state would be providing $2 million.
11:59So the town of Riverhead is not contributing anything to the hotel project.
12:02But as Mr. McAuliffe, the original town square, the project involved the acquisition of three lots.
12:12The most eastern lot was always intended to be developed.
12:15And this is the development. This is that lot.
12:18This is still the two original lots.
12:20The third lot was never intended to be preserved.
12:22It was always to be part of a public private partnership,
12:25wherein the town would leverage that property to get a development,
12:29to line the square, to provide the activation that the square needs.
12:32And that was always part of the town square design, development, activation, public engagement,
12:39strategic development plan through the DRI.
12:42And everything that we've done from the beginning is always intended to be done with that lot to be developed.
12:50So that is so to suggest that the town is now.
12:52Taking that lot and letting it be developed is.
12:57It was never intended to be open space or preserved or part of the square.
13:01The square was always intended to be the two lots in the center that it is right now.
13:06Those are still conceptual design.
13:08And that is an incredibly old.
13:10It's still being engineered.
13:12We're still deciding on the method.
13:14That's why we've had recent public hearings.
13:16So what you're holding up is just the conceptual design of possibilities.
13:19One of many which have not been finalized as of yet.
13:22But we still need a private developer to come in to bring people to the town square.
13:28So you need that private development that draws people to a restaurant, to a facility where they can engage,
13:34maybe have dinner, sit in the town square and then go across the street to a show at the Suffolk Theatre,
13:39to then go to their other restaurants and shops and so forth.
13:44That's all part of a whole conceptual idea.
13:46What you're looking at, I don't know that it's going to be built and look exactly like that.
13:50Those are just those are.
13:51Early design.
13:52Early design.
13:53Just to kind of show potential of what could be done.
13:55Have you participated in any of the public engagement on the property?
13:58I have been at various meetings when it's been mentioned.
14:02And oh, be at meetings.
14:04And I've heard certainly the reference.
14:07That's why I say that you're.
14:08Just one more change.
14:08Yeah, sure.
14:09So you can see this on this drawing.
14:12This is the activation.
14:13This would be the looking south.
14:15Right.
14:16So this would be a conceptual building on the east side.
14:18On the east side of the property that you're talking about is East End Art.
14:21On the other side.
14:23And always intended to be activated with some kind of commercial development.
14:27And of course, the town is not in the business of doing commercial development.
14:30So the objective was to leverage that property to get that commercial development to activate the space.
14:36Yeah, there's obviously the much more space there in that drawing than there is in this.
14:42Not this is not in any way representative of what this was just a conceptual drawing that was done years ago.
14:49The conceptual.
14:50The conceptual drawings that are being done now more like this.
14:56But this wasn't to scale or anything else.
14:58This is not.
15:00What's being done and this is not here.
15:03And so so we now though own that property.
15:07We always own that property.
15:09So we now have three properties.
15:13But is there a reason not to use all three properties for the town square?
15:17If you if you just leave a blank open space.
15:20What activates that space?
15:22Well, I mean, if you participate in that in those sessions, then you would have been part of that discussion.
15:27We wanted retail restaurant and food and beverage and outdoor dining.
15:31If you don't have a building there, how do you achieve that?
15:34That goal that was.
15:35Well, first of all, you have lots of retail on either side of the square.
15:41And this and this and well, which frankly would be nice, I would think, to have that open space towards East End Arts.
15:48No activation. No.
15:50Activation because you have that crucial.
15:53All right. Yeah.
15:55Yeah. No, I made the public was very much in favor over the last several years of development and design that this square be activated.
16:03And our urban design associates was very clear that if you don't activate the space, it doesn't get well used.
16:09So you need to have things happening, places to go, things to see.
16:13If you don't have that, it's just dead space.
16:16And you know what happens when there's that space.
16:20Yeah.
16:20I guess I'm looking at this picture, which is the one that's the latest one that's here.
16:26This is not the latest.
16:27It's the one that's latest.
16:29That's been evolving for the past two years.
16:31This is the latest that's been published and it was no, no, not even really close.
16:36Not only it's been evolving.
16:37I mean, we've had work sessions in here.
16:39We have an interactive playground that's going in there.
16:42We have potentially an outdoor amphitheater.
16:44They're all in the conceptual ideas.
16:46The engineers have been working on it.
16:47They've had public discussions and meetings.
16:50And the final design has not been completed yet.
16:54It's still a work in progress.
16:58If you look at the strategic investment plan that was part of the downtown revitalization initiative,
17:03$10 million grant, if you take a look at that plan,
17:06if you had participated in any of those public sessions that were held,
17:09there were six public engagement sessions that were held.
17:12The design and the layout and the finance piece of it was all clear in that and that was on the basis upon which we got it.
17:18And that was on the basis upon which we got it.
17:18And that was on the basis upon which we got it.
17:19And that was on the basis upon which we got the $3.25 million to build the actual square.
17:23Right?
17:24But the activation piece has been a part of it from day one.
17:29And if you, you know, listen to the planners and development people and the designers,
17:34the activation is essential to make the space work.
17:38And if you don't have the activation, you have dead space.
17:42All right.
17:43I guess, yeah.
17:43If you want to give me a call, come to the office.
17:47I'll show you all of the most latest.
17:48Thank you.
17:48Thank you.
17:49Thank you.
17:49Okay.
17:49No, I'll be happy to do this.
17:51The strategic investment plan is online.
17:54It's been online.
17:54If you want to look at that strategic investment plan, you'll see exactly how it works.
18:00But from a planning perspective, activated space is critical.
18:05If you don't have activation, you don't have a town square.
18:10All right.
18:10And the question is then what brings the activization?
18:13But I would come by and see it.
18:16I mean, I'm going from what has been published.
18:18I mean, I'm going from what has been published in terms of both the original planning and the revised planning with the hotel.
18:28There's quite a bit that's been published, including the strategic investment plan and all of the DRI meetings that you have been to.
18:34In the news review or in the –
18:35There are publications.
18:36That hasn't been published in a long time.
18:38Yeah.
18:39These are the latest from the local and things in the news review.
18:45Yeah.
18:45Yeah.
18:45I literally last night –
18:47Yeah.
18:48I'm glad you gave them the credit.
18:49– the latest.
18:51Okay.
18:52Well, again, it seems to me if there is an option, I would think that having a wider one-time only opportunity, a bigger town square is a more desirable thing.
19:04But that could be a disagreement and priorities and interpretation of what will happen to the space.
19:11You could certainly not share that in any of those public meetings.
19:12Yeah.
19:13I was too many of them and I've been –
19:16Too many?
19:16Too much?
19:17No, no.
19:17Too –
19:18Too many of them.
19:23And I may have not been at the one particular meeting you're talking about, but I certainly went to many of the visioning meetings and the planning meetings for the comprehensive plan.
19:36It wasn't the comprehensive plan.
19:37It would be a different set of meetings.
19:40Or the DRI.
19:42That – it's possible that that slipped by me.
19:46Thank you.
19:48Thank you.
19:49Thank you.
19:49Thank you.
19:49Thank you.
19:50Thank you.
19:51Okay.
19:51Do we have anybody else from the public who would like to comment on this public hearing?
20:03Good afternoon.
20:05Marilyn Banks-Winter from Riverhead.
20:07Good afternoon.
20:08Good afternoon, Supervisor and Town Board.
20:10And, yes, I participated and was on the Advisory Board for the DRI.
20:15And so I'm glad that you explained everything.
20:17everything to him as far as how we're going to move forward in regards to that. But my question
20:23is, I am a Suffolk County representative of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce.
20:30And so I advocate for MWBE businesses and also construction businesses. And will there be set
20:39asides allocated within the contract with Petrocelli or anyone? Because I'm sure that
20:46they need, you know, the funding is coming down the pipeline. So we want to make sure that we're
20:51part of the bidding process. All of the New York State funding that we receive is 30% MWBE
20:59per contract. And so those parameters will be in this contract, I'm sure, too.
21:05And we meet them and do them. And so we should be all good. Thank you.
21:11Thank you so much, because there's so many construction and subcontractors,
21:16here in Riverhead. And I'm always advocating that if the work is being done in the town of
21:22Riverhead, then we need to use the contractors located here. Thank you.
21:30Do we have anybody else from the public who would like to comment? I have nobody online.
21:36Okay. I will close this public hearing and keep it open for written comment until Friday, June 10th
21:44at 4.30 p.m.
21:46May 10th.
21:47May 10th.
21:48May 10th.
21:49Yes.
21:50This Friday.
21:51Correct.
21:53Second public hearing we have is scheduled for 2.05. It is now 2.23. And it's to consider a special
21:59permit application seeking approval to construct a two-family dwelling on a 0.49 acre parcel of land
22:11located at 4592 Middle Country Road, Calverton.
22:15We have planner.
22:16Heather Trojanowski to introduce this for us.
22:18Good afternoon, Supervisor, members of the board. I spoke with Town Attorney Eric Howard already.
22:25The applicant failed to do the required mailings pursuant to Town Code Chapter 301.311D for special permits.
22:33So we're going to have to not open the public hearing and reschedule.
22:36So I'll get a resolution for the next regular town board meeting to reschedule for June.
22:41Okay.
22:42Sorry.
22:42Very good. Sounds good. This will be rescheduled for a later date.
22:47We have two more public hearings scheduled, and I will turn both of those over to Councilor Howard to speak on their behalf.
22:55All right.
22:56Thank you, Supervisor.
22:56So the first public hearing was 650 Elton Street.
23:02That was for the town board to hear and consider whether a structure in the town should be demolished as being hazardous and or unsafe to the public.
23:14My office was in communication with the town authority.
23:16counsel for the owner who has since disconnected all of the utilities and made application for a
23:23demolition permit and removal of the structure is imminent and so my recommendation would be that we
23:31adjourn that to the next town board meeting and assuming that the structure is removed
23:37and the demolition permit closed we can simply cancel that hearing
23:40okay thank you and the next uh the next one was 1092 dolores avenue
23:52this was another structure for the town board to make a determination as to whether it was unsafe
23:58and should be demolished this was removed by the property owner and our town assistant engineer
24:06contesta confirmed that and so my recommendation would be that
24:10this public hearing also be cancelled
24:15and all of the removal and demolition has been at the owner's expense very good we will do same
24:24okay moving on to resolutions do we have any public comments anybody who wants from

29:35Merrifield? Yes.
29:37Kern? Yes.
29:38Rothwell? Yes.
29:40Hubbard? Yes.
29:41Resolution to table has been approved.
29:44Just to explain, the person was to be appointed for the position at last minute backed out.
29:50So we're going to table that resolution.
29:52I know, Supervisor, you moved it. Who seconded it?
29:55I did.
29:55Do we have an intention to not appoint this person?
30:00Correct.
30:00Okay, so rather than tabling it, maybe we should just vote it down?
30:05That way it, because if it stays on the table, it's going to stay there indefinitely unless someone pulls it off.
30:12Makes sense.
30:13Withdraw it.
30:14So you'd rather rescind it?
30:16Or just vote it down.
30:17Vote no.
30:18Yeah, just vote no.
30:21Okay, so you want me to read it?
30:22Yeah.

49:05anybody who might be interested in hosting a narcan training learning about
49:07Narcan. Narcan is the drug that reverses opiate overdoses in individuals who have
49:13either taken too many prescription drugs, who have taken drugs that they've
49:18received from off the streets, or have received a drug that has been laced with
49:22fentanyl. So the Narcan actually reduces that overdose effect in their brain for
49:28about 60 to 90 minutes so that emergency services can be performed and help them
49:32continue to live a healthy life. So I just wanted to introduce myself, let you
49:37know what our team does and be available if anybody had any questions or wanted to
49:41set up a training for their staff. I have a question. Do you supply like local
49:47restaurants with Narcan and train them? We have been going to local restaurants
49:52individually like local bars, restaurants, even just any other retail
49:57organization. We've literally just been walking in and introducing ourselves and
50:00asking if they're interested in Narcan. So yes we have. Yeah I'd like to get your
50:05card and give it to the bid.
50:07Maybe they can organize something. I would love to connect with Chamber of
50:12Commerce's. That's really what my goal is because I think sometimes when I go into
50:18a business and I kind of introduce myself I think they think that I'm
50:21trying to sell them something. So if I kind of go in through like a networked
50:26personnel I think they would be more susceptible to. When you were done I'll see you.
50:31Yes. Ma'am can I have the name of your organization again please and you?
50:37Yes. My name is Carrie Sahash. It's a complicated last name and I'm from
50:43Federation of Organizations. Thank you. I encourage you also to reach out to
50:48RVAC as well as the Wading River Fire Department. Both departments provide
50:54ambulatory services within the town of Riverhead. Yes. They're often doing
50:58training so it would be good to team up with either one of them.
51:00RVAC serves obviously Manitouville Fire Department, Riverhead Fire Department,
51:05Janesport and then Wading River Fire Department has a number of other services. So if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
51:07their own ambulance service as well. So I would encourage you to team up with them.
51:10Okay. Thank you. If you need contacts let me know. Okay great. I'll take any contact you have.
51:15Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have anybody else from the
51:23public who would like to comment? Grace. Come on up. No? Okay. We have nobody
51:33online. Well I want to thank everybody for coming out and again just a
51:37reminder to everybody make sure you wish that special mom in your life a happy
51:42Mother's Day this Sunday. Okay. Have a great weekend everybody and thank you for

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. through New York State, as you mentioned, Empire State Development. It is for rehabilitation of buildings in downtown areas that need revitalization, such as ours. We've done multiple projects through the Restore program in the past, including the Hyatt Hotel and the Long Island Aquarium. Also, the Georgia Green Building Riverhead Lofts was a Restore project. It's a public-private partnership opportunity, and the town has to be the applicant, so we are not providing any funding toward the project. We are just the conduit through which the grant is processed and awarded. The applicant is going to be Jay Petrucelli. Well, the beneficiary of the grant would be Jay Petrucelli, Development Associates, the master developer for the Town Square project. The grant is $2 million, would go towards the hotel project, specifically. A portion of that would be towards the demolition of the building, and the other portion would be towards construction. I've been working with Brian DeLuca and Steve Schroeder on the application, and we're getting close to being done. Part of the requirement of the grant is that we have a public hearing, so that if the public has any questions or concerns, they can address them. That's it. Okay. Ward, do you have any questions? Get the money. More of a demand. More of a demand. Do we have anybody from the public who would like to comment?

Good afternoon. John McAuliffe from Rolling Woods, Roanoke Landing in Riverhead. First, procedurally, I had sent two letters to the board, and they don't show up on this list. I don't know whether there's some procedural problem or whether I should resend them. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What were they regarding, John? One was regarding our last encounter and introduced the letter that appeared in the news review about the process of how EPCAL was going to be handled. And the other had to do with an action that the Chamber of Commerce and you were taking regarding a new business in town. I saw both those letters. Did you send them to the town council? I sent them to all the boards and the clerk at the same time. Well, I will certainly look through my email and circulate that, and I'll put it on the list. Okay. Yeah, no, you were away, I think, and maybe— I was away for two weeks. Yeah, and I'm using your direct address, and I think I should be changing that to your institutional address, though. Right, if you make it to—yeah, that way you'll have a growth of that. Okay. All right. At any rate, what I'm going to say now is not EPCAL Watch, just to be clear. This is a personal concern. Well, this is a public hearing. This is about the hearing. No, no, this is the hearing. I just wanted to get that done. The hearing is what I'm speaking to, and this is in not any way critical of Mr. Petrucelli. He's done an admirable job for the town, and he's somebody that's obviously very close to the way things operate and are done in the town, and that's fine. But I do have serious— I do have serious reservations about this—the town being involved in facilitating his constructing a hotel in what was about a third of the original town square land. Now, people say one word or a picture is worth a thousand words, so I did this picture, which shows the original concept of the town square. And then the design as it appears with Mr. Petrucelli's hotel. And as you see, it's a very—it's really taking what is land that was obtained by the town using public resources and giving away—not giving it away, because I understand there's tradeoffs and he's funding other things. But it's essentially sequestering what is public land. So there's a lot of space in there. And, you know, there's arguments for that at different times, but I think we have to realize this is the one chance. I think I'd just like to correct you on some of what you're saying. That's fine. I'm just going from what I've read. That drawing is very old and also the original. Do you want to? Yeah, go ahead. Certainly. Initially, I would just point out the only way that this grant is eligible, we're eligible to get it is through the municipality. The project is a $30 million project. The state would be providing $2 million. So the town of Riverhead is not contributing anything to the hotel project. But as Mr. McAuliffe, the original town square, the project involved the acquisition of three lots. The most eastern lot was always intended to be developed. And this is the development. This is that lot. This is still the two original lots. The third lot was never intended to be preserved. It was always to be part of a public private partnership, wherein the town would leverage that property to get a development, to line the square, to provide the activation that the square needs. And that was always part of the town square design, development, activation, public engagement, strategic development plan through the DRI. And everything that we've done from the beginning is always intended to be done with that lot to be developed. So that is so to suggest that the town is now. Taking that lot and letting it be developed is. It was never intended to be open space or preserved or part of the square. The square was always intended to be the two lots in the center that it is right now. Those are still conceptual design. And that is an incredibly old. It's still being engineered. We're still deciding on the method. That's why we've had recent public hearings. So what you're holding up is just the conceptual design of possibilities. One of many which have not been finalized as of yet. But we still need a private developer to come in to bring people to the town square. So you need that private development that draws people to a restaurant, to a facility where they can engage, maybe have dinner, sit in the town square and then go across the street to a show at the Suffolk Theatre, to then go to their other restaurants and shops and so forth. That's all part of a whole conceptual idea. What you're looking at, I don't know that it's going to be built and look exactly like that. Those are just those are. Early design. Early design. Just to kind of show potential of what could be done. Have you participated in any of the public engagement on the property? I have been at various meetings when it's been mentioned. And oh, be at meetings. And I've heard certainly the reference. That's why I say that you're. Just one more change. Yeah, sure. So you can see this on this drawing. This is the activation. This would be the looking south. Right. So this would be a conceptual building on the east side. On the east side of the property that you're talking about is East End Art. On the other side. And always intended to be activated with some kind of commercial development. And of course, the town is not in the business of doing commercial development. So the objective was to leverage that property to get that commercial development to activate the space. Yeah, there's obviously the much more space there in that drawing than there is in this. Not this is not in any way representative of what this was just a conceptual drawing that was done years ago. The conceptual. The conceptual drawings that are being done now more like this. But this wasn't to scale or anything else. This is not. What's being done and this is not here. And so so we now though own that property. We always own that property. So we now have three properties. But is there a reason not to use all three properties for the town square? If you if you just leave a blank open space. What activates that space? Well, I mean, if you participate in that in those sessions, then you would have been part of that discussion. We wanted retail restaurant and food and beverage and outdoor dining. If you don't have a building there, how do you achieve that? That goal that was. Well, first of all, you have lots of retail on either side of the square. And this and this and well, which frankly would be nice, I would think, to have that open space towards East End Arts. No activation. No. Activation because you have that crucial. All right. Yeah. Yeah. No, I made the public was very much in favor over the last several years of development and design that this square be activated. And our urban design associates was very clear that if you don't activate the space, it doesn't get well used. So you need to have things happening, places to go, things to see. If you don't have that, it's just dead space. And you know what happens when there's that space. Yeah. I guess I'm looking at this picture, which is the one that's the latest one that's here. This is not the latest. It's the one that's latest. That's been evolving for the past two years. This is the latest that's been published and it was no, no, not even really close. Not only it's been evolving. I mean, we've had work sessions in here. We have an interactive playground that's going in there. We have potentially an outdoor amphitheater. They're all in the conceptual ideas. The engineers have been working on it. They've had public discussions and meetings. And the final design has not been completed yet. It's still a work in progress. If you look at the strategic investment plan that was part of the downtown revitalization initiative, $10 million grant, if you take a look at that plan, if you had participated in any of those public sessions that were held, there were six public engagement sessions that were held. The design and the layout and the finance piece of it was all clear in that and that was on the basis upon which we got it. And that was on the basis upon which we got it. And that was on the basis upon which we got it. And that was on the basis upon which we got the $3.25 million to build the actual square. Right? But the activation piece has been a part of it from day one. And if you, you know, listen to the planners and development people and the designers, the activation is essential to make the space work. And if you don't have the activation, you have dead space. All right. I guess, yeah. If you want to give me a call, come to the office. I'll show you all of the most latest. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. No, I'll be happy to do this. The strategic investment plan is online. It's been online. If you want to look at that strategic investment plan, you'll see exactly how it works. But from a planning perspective, activated space is critical. If you don't have activation, you don't have a town square. All right. And the question is then what brings the activization? But I would come by and see it. I mean, I'm going from what has been published. I mean, I'm going from what has been published in terms of both the original planning and the revised planning with the hotel. There's quite a bit that's been published, including the strategic investment plan and all of the DRI meetings that you have been to. In the news review or in the – There are publications. That hasn't been published in a long time. Yeah. These are the latest from the local and things in the news review. Yeah. Yeah. I literally last night – Yeah. I'm glad you gave them the credit. – the latest. Okay. Well, again, it seems to me if there is an option, I would think that having a wider one-time only opportunity, a bigger town square is a more desirable thing. But that could be a disagreement and priorities and interpretation of what will happen to the space. You could certainly not share that in any of those public meetings. Yeah. I was too many of them and I've been – Too many? Too much? No, no. Too – No. Too many of them. And I may have not been at the one particular meeting you're talking about, but I certainly went to many of the visioning meetings and the planning meetings for the comprehensive plan. It wasn't the comprehensive plan. It would be a different set of meetings. Or the DRI. That – it's possible that that slipped by me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Do we have anybody else from the public who would like to comment on this public hearing? Good afternoon. Marilyn Banks-Winter from Riverhead. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Supervisor and Town Board. And, yes, I participated and was on the Advisory Board for the DRI. And so I'm glad that you explained everything. everything to him as far as how we're going to move forward in regards to that. But my question is, I am a Suffolk County representative of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce. And so I advocate for MWBE businesses and also construction businesses. And will there be set asides allocated within the contract with Petrocelli or anyone? Because I'm sure that they need, you know, the funding is coming down the pipeline. So we want to make sure that we're part of the bidding process. All of the New York State funding that we receive is 30% MWBE per contract. And so those parameters will be in this contract, I'm sure, too. And we meet them and do them. And so we should be all good. Thank you. Thank you so much, because there's so many construction and subcontractors, here in Riverhead. And I'm always advocating that if the work is being done in the town of Riverhead, then we need to use the contractors located here. Thank you.

Do we have anybody else from the public who would like to comment? I have nobody online. Okay. I will close this public hearing and keep it open for written comment until Friday, June 10th at 4.30 p.m. May 10th. May 10th. May 10th. Yes. This Friday. Correct. Second public hearing we have is scheduled for 2.05. It is now 2.23. And it's to consider a special permit application seeking approval to construct a two-family dwelling on a 0.49 acre parcel of land located at 4592 Middle Country Road, Calverton. We have planner. Heather Trojanowski to introduce this for us. Good afternoon, Supervisor, members of the board. I spoke with Town Attorney Eric Howard already. The applicant failed to do the required mailings pursuant to Town Code Chapter 301.311D for special permits. So we're going to have to not open the public hearing and reschedule. So I'll get a resolution for the next regular town board meeting to reschedule for June. Okay. Sorry. Very good. Sounds good. This will be rescheduled for a later date. We have two more public hearings scheduled, and I will turn both of those over to Councilor Howard to speak on their behalf. All right. Thank you, Supervisor. So the first public hearing was 650 Elton Street. That was for the town board to hear and consider whether a structure in the town should be demolished as being hazardous and or unsafe to the public. My office was in communication with the town authority. counsel for the owner who has since disconnected all of the utilities and made application for a demolition permit and removal of the structure is imminent and so my recommendation would be that we adjourn that to the next town board meeting and assuming that the structure is removed and the demolition permit closed we can simply cancel that hearing okay thank you and the next uh the next one was 1092 dolores avenue this was another structure for the town board to make a determination as to whether it was unsafe and should be demolished this was removed by the property owner and our town assistant engineer contesta confirmed that and so my recommendation would be that this public hearing also be cancelled and all of the removal and demolition has been at the owner's expense very good we will do same okay moving on to resolutions do we have any public comments anybody who wants from the public wants to make a comment on any of the resolutions on today's agenda

Narcan is the drug that reverses opiate overdoses in individuals who have either taken too many prescription drugs, who have taken drugs that they've received from off the streets, or have received a drug that has been laced with fentanyl. So the Narcan actually reduces that overdose effect in their brain for about 60 to 90 minutes so that emergency services can be performed and help them continue to live a healthy life. So I just wanted to introduce myself, let you know what our team does and be available if anybody had any questions or wanted to set up a training for their staff. I have a question. Do you supply like local restaurants with Narcan and train them? We have been going to local restaurants individually like local bars, restaurants, even just any other retail organization. We've literally just been walking in and introducing ourselves and asking if they're interested in Narcan. So yes we have. Yeah I'd like to get your card and give it to the bid. Maybe they can organize something. I would love to connect with Chamber of Commerce's. That's really what my goal is because I think sometimes when I go into a business and I kind of introduce myself I think they think that I'm trying to sell them something. So if I kind of go in through like a networked personnel I think they would be more susceptible to. When you were done I'll see you. Yes. Ma'am can I have the name of your organization again please and you? Yes. My name is Carrie Sahash. It's a complicated last name and I'm from Federation of Organizations. Thank you.

They're often doing training so it would be good to team up with either one of them. RVAC serves obviously Manitouville Fire Department, Riverhead Fire Department, Janesport and then Wading River Fire Department has a number of other services. So if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. their own ambulance service as well. So I would encourage you to team up with them. Okay. Thank you.
