Zoning Update Advisory Committee
Meeting Minutes
February 8, 2024, 1-2:30pm
Attending. All members were present either in person or on Zoom
1. Reviewed the table of existing uses (new table from consultant)
a. Focused on the Marine zoning districts
b. Discussed permitted uses and special exception uses with particular
attention to uses that are not water-dependent such as hotels and
restaurants.
c. Working waterfront vs. upland parcels
d. We need to identify the vulnerable parcels to see where we might be
able to reduce or remove incentives to overdevelop with non-
waterfront-dependent uses.
e. Ferry terminals- and concern over private docks being used by water
taxis discussed.
f. Also discussed the Resort Residential zoning district and the
intensification of hotel/motel uses
g. Discussed looking into what other towns are doing
i. Freeport - more stringent sanitary flow requirements than the
County
ii. Greenport - amended waterfront zones to remove hotels and
restaurants
2. Discussion also about an overlay district that uses the Peconic Estuary
Program Subwatershed work and sea-level rise projections to identify places
that, if developed more intensely, would have a detrimental effect on water
quality, with standards that include reducing opportunities to expand
development in flood zones.
3. Discussed the effects of having to raise sanitary systems in areas with high
groundwater and how that can result in unsightly retaining walls that can
change the drainage pattern for neighbors.
4. Informational Meetings Hosted by North Fork Civics
a. Dates of the meetings distributed to all
