STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT (SEQRA — Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)) Chairman Rich: Strong's Storage Buildings Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) —The Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Strong's Storage Buildings Site Plan has been completed and is ready to be accepted. The subject of this FEIS is the proposed construction of two (2) buildings for boat storage, one at 52,500 sq. ft. and the other at 49,000 sq. ft., located on 32.6 acres in the MII and R-80 Zoning Districts where there are 69,245 sq. ft. of existing boatyard buildings. The property is located at 3430 Mill Road, Mattituck. SCTM#1000-106-6-13.4 & 10 Before we move forward, I just want to make a couple of comments here to clarify: Strongs SEQR Process Accepting the Final Environmental Impact Statement Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — May 6, 2024— Page 4 The decision the Planning Board is making tonight is to accept the Final Environmental Impact Statement— also known as the FEIS. • There is no comment period • There is a 10-day waiting period before the Board can make their Findings & decision. This is not the end of the process. The next steps to finish: 1. Publish the FEIS in the State DEC's Environmental Notice Bulletin 2. Send the FEIS to SC Planning so they can complete their review and make a decision (they meet on June 5th). 3. After SC Planning makes a decision, the Planning Board will make a Findings Statement 4. The final step is a decision by the Planning Board on the site plan application 5. We expect this all to be completed in the next couple months. Just so everyone understands the process. Heather, thank you for making that so clear. Charles Cuddy: Mr. Chairman, I'm appearing for the applicant. My name is Charles Cuddy. I would like to— I'm asking for at least a moment to address something. Heather Lanza: There's no hearing. Charles Cuddy: This is not a hearing; all I'm doing is making a statement this evening on behalf of the applicant. The statement is very short: It's taken 8 months to get us to this point, we just need additional time. SEQRA says at least 10 days and I want to point out— and I think it's a deficiency in this whole process... James Squicciarini: Mr. Cuddy, this is not a hearing. Charles Cuddy: I understand that, there's just two points... James Squicciarini: It's not appropriate to make these comments at this time. As you know. Charles Cuddy: I would like to finish them. I just want to say one more thing: I think that this is deficient because all you're doing is looking at the DEIS, the applicant has never had a chance to comment on the public comments and that's what I'm seeking. Thank you. Chairman Rich: I've been advised we're following the procedure correctly, so we are going to move forward with this resolution at this time.
