Re: Factory Avenue, Mattituck Issues
Commissioners Flatley, Richter, Harris and I met with Waldbaum's Store
Manager Bill Geoff on Thursday, March 31 as agreed to in the Commission's
March meeting.
Essentially, Mr. Geoff reiterated that he could cot control the deliveries by his
suppliers, be they box or tractor trailers deliveries - the suppliers have their own
set schedules and the loads are put on the tracks according to these schedules. We
suggested that a staging area be delineated on the southwestern edge of the
parking lot for box deliveries. When pressed, he indicated that he could perhaps
work this out, but that the Mattituck Plaza owner is dead set against allowing this.
He also suggested that a 15-20 minutes parking area be allowed between the
railroad tracks and the Waldbaum dock area. This would enable the box deliveries
to be off-loaded sequentially. Once off-loaded, the trucks could be sent to the
staging area in the Waldbaum's parking lot while the ~uppliers' shelves were
restocked. This, however, would require the owner's full agreement.
Hence, the Commission recommends that the existing Factory Avenue "no
parking" zones be upgraded as follows:
NO PARKING zones should include both sides of Factory Avenue extending
from State Route 25 to the Long Island Rail Road track with the following
exception:

b)
It is recommended that a cross walk be established to direct
pedestrian traffic from the front of the Baptist Church to the
existing sidewalk located on the east side of Factory Avenue. This
cross walk would be located just north of the existing Curb Cut
that is used to access the back of the Waldbaum's Facility.
A 30 minutes Loading Zone would be recommended on the
easterly side of Factory. This loading Zone would be restricted to
the area located between the proposed new cross walk and the
LIRR property. The work delineating a new cross walk and
clearing of the road shoulder area for Loading Zone parking is
considered minor and would be performed by the Highway
Department.
It is also recommended that all other delivery truck parking that is left unattended
should be located within the Waldbaum's Facility Parking Lot area.
