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. 8/12/2010 Heather Lanza, AICP Town Planning Director 53095 Route 25 P.O.
