Dear Ms.Neville:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on.the proposed zoning'amendment entitled "A Local Law in
relation to an Amendment to Chapter 280,Zoning,in connection with the Marine III(Mill)District,"
("Zoning Amendment").GSA,the only owner of the land to be affected by the Zoning Amendment,
opposes the change and requests that this letter be entered into the record.
Although the federal government is not subject to local zoning laws,the OPF is within the Marine H
District(MR)zoning designation-a district which is shared by the two abutting properties:Orient by the
Sea Marina and the Cross Sound Ferry. The MR zoning designation allows for uses such as a one-family
dwelling,marina,or retail space associated with waterfront uses and uses permitted by special exception
including restaurants,ferry terminals,transient hotels,and other uses associated with waterfront uses.
The Zoning Amendment targets the OPF by restricting the as-of-right use to a ferry terminal for service to
and from Plum Island with a limited number of accessory uses(ticket office,waiting area,parking,
storage,and museum).This change would prohibit any viable redevelopment of the OPF other than
allowing for the construction of a structure to support the ferry service.We are concerned that the Zoning
Amendment,targeting a single parcel,may constitute unlawful spot zoning.
If this matter should be further pursued please send any future notices to:
olm Kelly
Director,Property Disposal Division

GSA appreciates the opportunity to submit this letter to the record.
