Rapidly rising real estate costs, on Fishers Island have led to a steady decline in the year-round population from 600 in 1960 to about 230 presently. Year-round residents are the backbone of Fishers' infrastructure providing critical services such as the fire department, the EMT team and the utility company. In the absence of affordable housing opportunities, these services could no longer be sustained without a significant change to both the character of the Island and the cost at which such vital community services could be provided. Furthermore, if the child population declined,the school would no longer be viable making it even more difficult for the Island to sustain a year-round community. Through Walsh Park, housing is made available to year-round residents of the Island who are active contributing members of the community: - Currently 70 people live in Walsh Park homes—approximately 30% of the year- round population. - 20 residents serve on the Fishers Island Fire Department, are EMTs, and/or Sea Stretcher volunteers—nearly half the complement of these valuable services. - Approximately 30% of the year-round student body (excluding magnet students) are residents of Walsh Park. Walsh Park is in negotiations with the Board of Education of the Fishers Island Union Free School District to purchase the subject property which located on the southeast corner of Winthrop Drive and Equestrian Avenue. The property also has frontage on Whistler Avenue. It is located close to the school and near many year-round residents' homes. The property consists of 3.82 acres and is split zoned between the R-40 and Hamlet Density zoning districts. The property is partially improved with two 2-family homes in the HD portion of the property and two single family homes in the R-40 section. As depicted on the attached site plan, Walsh Park is seeking a change of zone of a portion of the property to clear the way for a 4 lot subdivision into conforming lots. If approved,the largest of the four lots would be purchased by Walsh Park for creation of 4 -two family homes for year-round residents. Although tremendous strides have been made over the last quarter century, the year-round population of the island is still very much at risk. Walsh Park submits that if Fishers Island is to remain a place all can enjoy,while also feeling confident that crucial services it needs to thrive can be adequately provided,we must continue to support and maintain a vibrant year-round community. Having the ability to develop this housing will enable Walsh Park to continue that support. y Twomey Latham RECEIVED SHEA, KELLEY, DUBIN a QUARTARARO, LLP DEC - 42019 Southold Town Clerk Thomas A.Twomey,Jr. Martin D.Finnegan (1945-2014) Partner Stephen B Latham John F.Shea,III 631-727-2180,x-265 Christopher D.Kelley David M Dubin ❖ mfinnegan@suffolklaw.com Jay P.Quartararo t Peter M Mott Janice L.Snead December 2, 2019 Anne Marie Goodale Bryan C Van Cott Kathryn Dalli, Via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested Laura I Dunathan Patrick B.Fife Martin D Finnegan o Reza Ebrahimi Town of Southold Jeffrey W Pagano a 53095 Route 25 Post Office Box 1179 Bryan J tSouthold NY 11971 Bernadetteo E E Tuthill � Craig H Handler Alexandra Halsey-Storch Melissa S Doris Re: Change of Zone Application for Walsh Park Benevolent Katenna Grinko Corporation Lorraine Paceleo Terrence Russell Premises: Southeast side of Winthrop Avenue at its , Daniel R.Bernard to Christina M.Noon intersection with Equestrian Avenue A Chadwick Briedis SCTM #: 1000-9-10-10 OF COUNSEL Lisa Clare Kombnnk Dear Ladies/Gentlemen: Kevin M.Fox Kelly E.Kinirons Karen A Hoeg Please be advised that this office represents Walsh Park Benevolent Patricia J.Jennifer P.Russell ss ll s Corporation who will file a Change of Zone Application with the Southold Town Board with regard to the property referenced above within the next five (5) days. !• NY&LA BARS Enclosed please find the Notice to Adjacent Property Owners outlining details of the t LL M IN TAXATION * NY&NJ BARS application.
