Home My WebLink About07/18/2016 Southold Transportation Commission Southold Town Hall July 18, 2016 Meeting Called to Order: 10:04 AM by Chairman Neb Brashich. Members Present Frank Field, Town Engineer Jamie Richter, Police Chief Martin Flatley, Planning Rep. Brian Cummings, Nick Mazzaferro (new member) and Tom Fox. New Members Tom Loreto, Jr. has also been appointed to the Commission, but was not in attendance. Also Attending Denise Civiletti, Southold Local. Approval of June 27, 2016 Meeting Minutes A motion to approve the minutes was made by Jamie Richter, was seconded by Nick Mazzaferro and was carried. However, Jamie observed that, with respect to the RFP's for the Traffic Study at the intersection of Old Sound Avenue and Love Lane in Mattituck, the reference to a twenty percent contribution "in kind" by the Town should be deleted. The June 27 minutes have been amended accordingly. EETC Update East End Transportation Summit On July 8, 2016, Supervisor Russell, Neb and Heather Lanza attended this event at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Riverhead, which was organized by the Suffolk County Planning Commission. Representatives from the SC Legislature, NYS Assemblymen Thiel and Palumbo, as well as other representatives from SC and NYMTC were in attendance. After initial overviews were presented by Heather on behalf of EETC and by a rep from SC East End Projects Coordinator concerning SEEDS and other past East End transportation studies, the second session was split into North Fork and South Fork for separate discussions covering each area. The NF discussions resulted, in part, with a recommendation for service improvements by LIRR. Other highlights included: A 31% percent increase in the East End's population over the last ten years. Southold has the longest travel time of East End towns at 38 minutes. Suffolk Transit's S92 route has an average daily ridership of 1,653 on weekdays and about 1,800 on Saturday/Sunday. LIRR Network Strategy Conference Later on July 8, the Supervisor, Neb, Heather and Frank Field attended this event at Riverhead Town Hall. Very significantly, senior LIRR management and the president were also in attendance. The session agreed that an action plan for the NF would be developed, with Heather taking the lead. Neb reports that LIRR is willing to examine all possible options concerning improved service. He also noted funding and maintenance issues remain system-wide. LIRR will seek restoration 1 of year-round weekend service in next year's budget. Frank suggested specific adjustments and additions to LIRR's schedule to improve service. Nick Mazzaferro suggested that the completion of two-track construction to Ronkonkoma could result in half-hourly service on that line and Brian Cummings reported that Heather will schedule a meeting with LIRR planners concerning improved NF service.

Neb I was talking to friends who live in East Marion and it got me thinking about the traffic and parking problems in that hamlet caused by the lavender farm's harvest season. Here are some ideas I came up with: Lavender traffic and parking problems, East Marion If the lavender farm owners won't convert a small portion of their planted land into on-site parking, which is a solution totally within their control, they still have several options. They can establish an off-site parking area by leasing a parking lot in a nearby location and providing a shuttle service to their lavender farm. They can set up a reservation system, limiting customers to specific time slots throughout the day, the hourly number based on how many vehicles they can park on land they now control. They can petition the land preservation authority (and this would require some cooperation from governmental agencies) to relieve them of the prohibition of designating a dirt-lot parking area within their property. This would require the re-interpretation of the definition of development that would exclude the temporary and reversible use of land for a dirt-lot parking area. This preserved land used in this manner can easily be turned back into farming or just 1 of 2 7/25/2016 2:19 PM Fwd:Lavender https://webtop.webmail.optimum.net/viewmessage?r=<request><mail... left fallow to return to nature without committing it to a permanent land use.

August 26, 2016 To whom it may concern, I am writing to you to ask the Transportation Commission to consider removing the one way sign at 56340 Route 25, also known as Colonial Corners. My brother Bill and I own the property and think it would be a good idea. There is no issue with two-way traffic and the curb cut is wide enough to accommodate two vehicles. It would also lessen the traffic on Locust Lane which is quite busy with all of the vehicles exiting 711. Thank you for considering my request. Sincerely, Richard F. Mullen III P.O.

Bob, I wanted to bring a matter to your attention and hope somehow you can help us and provided a picture of my corner at Sunset Lane and Sound Drive. Whereas on Sound Drive, my frontage and the neighbor directly opposite me (on bluff side) have No Parking signs. The situation is different on Sunset Lane. I do not have a No Parking sign on my frontage, but my neighbor directly across the street on Sunset Lane does have a No Parking sign. Having no sign by default allows people without permits to park along my frontage (where there are a line of forsythia bushes on Sunset Lane that run along from my driveway to the corner). Without a sign and under cover because of the bushes, I routinely have people parking along this area and more often than not they park closer to my driveway to make it appear they are my vehicles. The problem is that I catch people from time to time having sex or I find their condoms after the fact. I also find discarded tiny zip lock packaging (drugs?). It seems there are transactions at 67 Steps with vehicles that flash on another. One car parked on Sound Road facing towards the North Road and when the "delivery" car arrives heading towards 67 Steps they flash their lights to identify each other and the cars meet, people go from one car to the other and return back and then both cars drive off, the users either leave or park along Sunset. Also I very often have to pick up empty containers of alcohol / beer where the out-of-town fishermen leave there vehicles parked overnight. The fishermen stay at 67 steps and their families sleep in the vehicles with engines idling the entire night for A/C etc. Often garbage is left behind and they use the area between the car and bushes to defecate (it becomes the nearest public bathroom). I am powerless to direct people to move to open areas slightly further down Sunset without a No Parking sign. Recently overnighter had cars idling overnight and my neighbors could not sleep with sounds and exhaust smells and called the police who asked them to relocate. They did, only to return 10 minutes later! I called the police and z they returned but could not find the culprits (probably at the beach) and i left. A sign carries monetary penalties and whereas it may not completely solve the problem, it would help tremendously. Besides my neighbor opposite me t on s j Sunset has a sign on their property. 3 of 4 8/17/2016 10:27 PM RE:Fw:No Parking Sign needed between my driveway and corner or... https://webtop.webmail.optimum.net/viewmessage?r=<request><mail ... i Please help.

Brown, P.E., Regional Director New York State Department of Transportation Region 10 250 Veterans Memorial Highway Hauppauge, New York 11788 Re: TAG 15-0028 Laurel School Route 25 Abandonment Dear Mr. Brown: For over two years we have attempted to address issues of personal quality of life and more importantly public safety which have developed over the years since State Route 26 in Laurel was reconfigured in the early 1980's. To date, our efforts have been directed to the Town of Southold. Recently we were informed by the Town of Southold Transportation Commission that ". . . this roadway is still owned by New York State. Unfortunately, there is nothing further that the Transportation Commission can do at this point.". Enclosed for your reference are copies of our correspondence to the Town of Southold dated July 13, 2014 and September 3; 2015 which detail our concerns. It should be noted that there has been a reduction in the amount of parking in front of our home. Presumably this is due to a reported reduction in enrollment and the possible provision of some bussing at North Fork Early Learning Center. However, confusion over the use of the reconfigured roadway in front of NFELC remains and poses a great risk to both the children attending the Center and motorists using the roadway. Since it has been determined that New York State retains possession of this land, do the New York State Police have authority to enforce the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Code here? Does New York State have the authority to install speed bumps in the parking area to reduce the speed of vehicles and discourage through traffic in order to ensure the safety of children crossing the area from parked cars to the school entrance? Can New York State install features in addition to the double yellow road marking at the east end of Franklinville Road, such as traffic cones, breakaway reflectors or a raised median, to reduce the risk of head on collision as westbound drivers regularly cross the existing road markings with all four wheels and frequently with excessive speed? Thank you for your attention to these matters. We look forward to a reply. u Robert and Kathleen Gerdts (631) 298-5087 saitydog34@optonline.net C. Scott A.

Parking is already restricted on streets ending in beach access in New Suffolk. It seems Orchard Street was overlooked. The problems that warranted restricted parking on the south end of the New Suffolk grid are the same problems we are facing on the north side. The solution should be the same - restricted seasonal parking. It seems to be working a few blocks away and should be expanded. Some ideas: Restaurant delivery trucks should be limited to New Suffolk Avenue and New Suffolk Road. The side streets and intersections are too narrow to accommodate such extremely large vehicles. Making some streets one way Guest parking passes/permits issued to residents to be placed in windshields of guests' cars. This practice exists in Belle Harbor, Neponsit, Forest Hills Gardens, and many beach communities. Enforcement of capacity laws ( beach and restaurant) - Many times there are few cars in the beach parking lot and hundreds of people on the beach. Vans/cars drop off people at the beach and then park all over New Suffolk, making the beach stickers meaningless.

I was unable to attend, and sent an email regarding parking issues in New Suffolk. I was told by my neighbors that the parking problems were brought up at the meeting as well. As you know, the streets in New Suffolk are not wide. At times, when cars and trucks are parked on both sides of the street, the streets are impassable. We have huge trucks barreling down Orchard Street, and making the turn onto First Street at quite a clip. First and Second Streets have "no parking " seasonally, and Third through Fifth Streets require town permits from New Suffolk Ave to the water. Orchard Street ends in a beach with water access, yet anyone is free to park, and go to the beach. I have spoken to the Supervisor, the police, the highway dept. Everyone acknowledges parking in New Suffolk is a big problem, yet nothing is done. It has become increasingly dangerous. There will soon be a new restaurant on First Street, which will add to the parking problems. People park all over without permits and walk to the beaches, resulting in the beach being regularly over capacity. By restricting parking in one section of New Suffolk, the town has just moved the problem to another section of town. Can you please tell me if anything can be done or has been done to address the parking issues in New Suffolk? 2 of 3 9/14/2016 2:40 PM FW:Parking in New Suffolk https:Hwebtop.webmail.optimum.net/viewmessage?r=<request><mail ...
