Minutes of Meeting April 26, 2004
Present: Neb Brashich, Frank Field, Jamie Richter, Tom Fox, Victor LEplattenier,
Michelle Zaloom. Also present: Tom Wickham, Bruno Simon
Medical Arts Building Hortons Lane/CR 48
Bruno Simon, site planner, presented, a plan for a medical facility proposed for
the southeast corner of Hortons Lane and CR 48. The plan is for a speculative
building providing 20 offices. The developed is trying to get an agreement with
the CR 48 neighbor for a crossover easement into the neighbors parking lot
which will provide an exit directly onto CR 48. Mr. Simon presented his plan for
comment related to transportation issues, in particular, the entrance and exit onto
Norton's Lane. The Transportation Commission approved the plan presented by
Mr. Simon. Mr. Richter suggested that Horton lane be widened near the
intersection to ease traffic flow into and out of the facility parking lot. Based on a
comment that the developed had stated that town code required more parking
spots that the facility needed, Mr. Brashich suggested that the town consider
allowing land banking in which parking spots are held in reserve (banked) in a
landscaped area. This allows an easy transition should the need arise in the
future for those parking spots.
SEEDS Update
Modeling is completed for the SEEDS project. David Glass requested a
reclassification of minor collector and rural roads to allow them to be eligible for
federal funds. Suggestion made to strengthen SEEDS ties to Greenport,
Southampton, and Riverhead as legal issues over ferry service in EastHampton
threaten to derail the SEEDS project.
Long Island NonMotorized Transportation Study needs a Town Board resolution
to support policy. Mr. Brashich drafted a document for the Town Board. The
current proposal does not include all of the Seaview Trails.

to hire a retired engineer to help with the project, Mr. Corcoran has not received
the draft proposal and will contact Mr. Brashich when he receives them.
