Public Hearing

The owners of the vacant lot on the southwest corner of Montauk Highway and Brookfield Place is scheduled for another public hearing on October 29, 2013 at Town of Islip Hall. The owners after being defeated of trying to secure a zoning change to allow them to use part of the adjoining residential lot to the south as commercial for the purpose of additional parking for a proposed restaurant. The owners now seek to reduce the now legal setback of 25 feet to 10 feet from the Montauk Highway frontage. This would allow the owners to erect a building who's foot print would sit approximately 10 feet from the curb line along Montauk Highway. If you are as concerned as I having a building located that close to a major road and obstructing the corner view west from Brookfield Place I would suggest you make an appearance and be heard.
