Subject: Town Board - memo on fishers island visit
I want to send this. Anything to add or change?
In fulfillment of the promise to visit Fishers Island more than once a year, the planners (Heather
Lanza, Mark Terry, Kristy Winser, Tamara Sadoo) made the trip there on Wednesday, June 17,
and Thursday, June 18. We traveled by ferry, walking on to save the cost of taking a car over.
We arrived at noon, and had a lunch meeting with the Island Community Board (ICB), where we
discussed their list often priorities for the Town's 2010 budget (see attached). Most, if not all
the issues have been discussed in the past, most recently as part of the Hamlet Stakeholders'
work. As a result of that meeting, the Hamlet Implementation Panel will meet on June 30 to
discuss Fishers Island priorities and the possibility of these priorities making it into the budget
for 2010.
The meeting with the ICB adjourned at 2:00pm. We then made several site visits.to view some
of the items on the priority list, as well as two Planning Board applications - a lot line change
among lots in the FIDCO area of the island, and the new Community Center.
The next morning we met with representatives of the Walsh Park Benevolent District, and the
Fishers Island School Board to discuss affordable housing. The school district owns a parcel that
has two duplexes and two single family homes. The very preliminary discussion centered on the
possibility of Walsh Park becoming involved in creating more affordable housing on the parcel.
We discussed the steps involved in moving forward with a plan, including establishing allowable
yield on the parcel, and the importance of Walsh Park and the school district developing a clear
vision for the property.
