Dear Supervisor Russell and Members of the Town Board:
Re: Application of Marine III District to Plum Island ferry parcel at Orient Point
Thank you for proposing to apply the zoning district"Marine III" to the approximately nine-acre,
federally owned parcel on the East End used by the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, currently zoned
for multiple uses, and for holding a public hearing this afternoon. Save the Sound supports the proposed
zone change because the new zone to this critically important infrastructure will afford better
protection to Plum Island itself.
Critical role of Southold Town in preserving Plum Island
We would like to thank Southold government–Supervisor Russell,the Town Board,the Planning Board,
the Planning Department,the Town Clerk,the Trustees,the Town Historian,the Historic Preservation
Commission,the IT Department, and all the many fine employees in support positions,for information,
participation, and access during the two-year Envision Plum Island process,which resulted in the report
and brochure, released on July 22 and available at www. reservelumisland,orc 'envision-report,
produced by Save the Sound,The Nature Conservancy, and consulting firm Marstel-Day.
Moreover,thank you for your critically important role in zoning Plum Island itself, into the Plum Island
Conservation and Plum Island Research Districts. Our gratitude extends to County Legislator Al Krupski,
who, when in Southold Town government, played an early, active, and important role in the essential
work of Plum Island's zoning. It is clear the Town of Southold is united in the goal of preserving Plum
Island for conservation, education, research, controlled public access, and jobs.
The Preserve Plum Island Coalition's vision—the vision of the entire region, we now know—is of Plum
Island Preserve.
Protecting the means for ferry travel to and from Plum Island—critically important component for the
creation of Plum Island Preserve
The Plum Island ferry parcel at Orient Point is essential for bringing the region's vision for Plum Island to
fruition.This is why we support applying the Marine III zone to that parcel. Dedicating the parcel to one

Application of Marine III Zone to Plum Island ferry parcel
primary purpose—ferry travel to and from Plum Island from the Town of Southold—is precisely the right
thing to do.
The nearly 200 stakeholders who participated in Envision Plum Island know, and our resulting report
details,why a zone change to Marine III is key to the long-term preservation of this unique feature of
the Town and Long Island Sound as a whole.
Interpretation, Museum, Controlled Public Access, and Stewardship
As you well know,there is not another island like Plum Island, anywhere.To protect the island's amazing
biodiversity, historical resources,the cultural heritage of people who've lived here for thousands of
years, and—not the least—jobs,the region has envisioned Plum Island Preserve.And to make that
happen,the Plum Island ferry parcel needs to be kept for one purpose.The parcel should never be
developed in the many ways its current, Marine II, zoning would allow. In addition,the brilliant decision
by Southold to include the possibility of a small museum, as an accessory use, in the Marine III District
falls in line completely with the region's vision.
One favorable aspect of a small Plum Island museum at Orient Point is that it could accommodate more
people than can be sustainably accommodated on the island itself. Visitors might include people who
already are present at Orient Point, such as those using the Cross Sound Ferry or those enjoying the
nearby County and State parks. We envision attendance that would be managed so as to not generate
additional traffic on Southold's limited and seasonally congested roads.The ferry facility itself, might
include a ticket office that also would serve to control the levels of public access to Plum Island,with its
fragile habitats, historic features, and potential archaeological treasures, all which require careful
stewardship. And, of course,the ferry parcel is needed as a launch site for employees traveling by ferry
to and from the future jobs we envision can be situated at a revamped research center—one that plays
an important role in Long Island's research corridor.
Your bold actions in zoning Plum Island and the ferry parcel are to be commended.Thank you for the
Town's forward thinking in protecting what our region knows really is a national treasure.

Louise Harrison

As a Suffolk County resident who was born in Greenport , I would like to share my strong support for the Town Board to
change the zoning on the above parcel to Marine III .
I understand this would insure that the parcel would be available for the purpose of ferry travel to and from Plum Island
and accessory use supporting that primary use.
It is also my personal opinion that the proposed Zoning change would help insure the long term environmental health of
Orient State Park as opposed to other potential uses or development including condos or a large commercial marina
which could potentially be detrimental to that incredible public asset.

Dear Supervisor Russell and Members of the Town Board,
The Orient Association supports the rezoning of the Plum Island ferry parcel from Marine II to a
Marine III zone. If there is any additional support the Town needs to make this rezoning happen,
we are willing and able to help as the Orient community would be most affected by any changes
to Plum Island.

To Whom it May Concern,
Unfortunately, I am unable to join the upcoming public hearing zoom meeting on September 8th, but would like
to offer my support of the zone change to the Plum Island ferry parcel at Orient Point to “Marine III”
zoning.
Thank you very much for considering this important change.

Honorable Members of the Town Board Town of Southold

Dear Supervisor Russell and Members of the Town Board:
Re: Application of Marine III District to Plum Island Ferry Parcel, Orient Point;
Public hearing, September 8, 2020
The Preserve Plum Island Coalition (PPIC), with 114 organizations in its membership, supports the application of
the Marine III zoning district to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center's ferry parcel at Orient Point. We believe
the parcel should be used, as permitted in MITI zoning, "for ferry service to and from Plum Island only," and with
accessory uses related to the primary permitted use as a ferry terminal, such as a small museum.
As you know, Save the Sound and The Nature Conservancy, members of the PPIC, have undertaken an Envision
Plum Island process over the last year, involving almost 200 people from around the region.They released the
results this summer on July 22.The Envision Plum Island document, available at
www.preservenlumisland.or�/envision-report, promotes the concept of Plum Island Preserve,wherein the
island would be conveyed to the State of New York.To create Plum Island Preserve,the current Orient Point
ferry facility would be conveyed along with Plum Island's PIR District, at the least, and, preferably, with both the
PIR and PIC District. Such a full conveyance of the entire island with the ferry parcel could help assure future
public access to the island, employee commutation to new jobs, ecological resource management and study,
historic preservation activities, and archaeological investigations.
Through the nearly two-year Envision Plum Island process,the PPIC has developed a concept for the Plum Island
ferry parcel that would include a small Plum Island museum,which also could serve as an assembly area or
visitor center for people going to Plum Island and, perhaps through passenger tickets, could control the number
of people visiting the island on a given day. Further, it could host exhibits or lectures related to Plum Island and
its relationship to the other islands in Southold's archipelago. We note our vision conforms to the language of
the Marine III zoning district: Marine III zoning is perfect for Plum Island's ferry parcel at Orient Point.
In the document called,Alternatives for Final Disposition of Plum Island, written by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security as a Report to Congress, dated June 27, 2016,there is a paragraph on p. 25 worth noting.
The heading is, "Synergistic Relationship between Plum Island and the Orient Point Facility." It says the
following:
Letter to Town of Southold Supervisor Scott Russell 2 of 2
Application of Marine III District to Plum Island Ferry Parcel
"The close proximity and multiple amenities of the Orient Point Facility make it an ideal
gateway to Plum Island for the transport of personnel,vehicles, equipment, and supplies.The
ample parking, indoor and outdoor storage areas, and administration building complement the
harbor operation and can support a broad range of uses and activities on Plum Island.
"The continued relationship between Plum Island and the Orient Point Facility would benefit
any alternative for the final disposition of the Property and is a vital link to those interested in
the future reuse of the existing buildings and infrastructure on the Property.There likely would
be a significant adverse impact on the value and utility of Plum Island if rights of access to and
use of the Orient Point Facility are not included in future conveyance documents."
We continue in our efforts to move Congress to pass federal legislation that will remove the current requirement
of disposing of Plum Island at a public sale, or auction.The Envision Plum Island report presents a unified,
stakeholders'vision for the future of Plum Island and a variety of options to convey Plum Island into beneficial
reuse, assuming that public sale requirement is lifted.
Thank you for your vigorous participation in the Envision Plum Island process and your previous, well-thought-
out zoning actions affecting Plum Island, which provided the foundation for the region's stakeholders to develop
a unified vision for the island's future. We're grateful for the extensive early work by former Town Board
member Al Krupski, now Suffolk County Legislator, Supervisor Russell, and the whole Town Board,the excellent
planning studies and recommendations by Southold's Planning Department, and the work of the Planning Board.
The Preserve Plum Island Coalition continues to advocate for permanent protection of Plum Island and
preservation of its ecological resources, protection of its cultural and historic features, and continuation of its
research job opportunities.Your approval of the zone change of the Plum Island ferry parcel at Orient Point to
Marine III District is key to the outcome of the region's vision.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Louise Harrison, Save the Sound, at 631-428-1315,
