Don Leslie, Jr. summarized some of the items the Hamlet of Greenport stakeholders group has discussed in its
previous meetings, and indicated that the group had made some progress on the prioritization of the original
group's recommendations.
HALO zones and their locations were discussed. M. Terry emphasized need to decide on the boundaries of
the HALO zones. A discussion of whether the group will approve one or two zones followed. M. Norden
explained that many of the group's members were new and may need more time to consider the HALO zones.
Ural Talgat emphasized the need for up to date maps so that all lands that could be preserved could be
designated. M. Terry agreed to attend a future stakeholders group meeting with those maps.
The group's concern regarding Island's End Golf course was discussed, relative to its preservation or selling
of development rights if the Course is to be sold.
The "boundaries" of the Greenport stakeholders group were discussed. Mark will help designate those when
he brings maps to the stakeholders meeting. Discussion arose regarding whether boundaries were designated
by school districts, zip codes, etc. The southwestern boundary might be Chapel or Albertson Lane, but since
the Southold group has not included Port of Egypt area in their deliberations the Greenport group would be
free to do so, said Jerry Woodhouse, Planning Board Chairperson.
The Port of Egypt area was discussed, in light of a possible Planned Development Maritime District or Center.
Various expanded uses in the area were explored, including boardwalks, bike trails, nature walks, public docks
for visiting yachtsmen, "kayak" and "sea" trails, etc. There may be certain recreational uses that the
stakeholders group can recommend that would have a public benefit.
Ural pointed out the group's interest in recreational activities, including a public pool and the establishment of
extended nature trails throughout the area, linking a trail through Moore's Woods, to the KOA area, and then
an ultimate linkage to ~the sea." The Silver Lake area was also mentioned as an area that could be linked into
a trail system. Joe Townsend pointed out that many of the trails were already in place, and would just need to
be linked up.
The PB mentioned that each stakeholders group has been allocated the sum of $500.00 for a budget by the
Town Board.
The next meeting of the Hamlet of Greenport's stakeholder group wffi be on Monday, July 23, 2007 at
5:30 p.m. at Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport.
