WHEREAS, an application has been made to the Town of East Hampton by the property owner, to re-zone a property located at 137 Springs-Fireplace Road, East Hampton (SCTM #0300-147-7-27.1), currently zoned B Residence, to Commercial-Industrial (CI); and
WHEREAS, the parcel consists of approximately 0.25 acres located on Springs-Fireplace Road containing a single family residence erected before zoning, and the subject parcel is surrounded on three sides by Commercial Industrial zoned properties, and is the only residentially zoned parcel in the block between Washington Avenue and Springs-Fireplace Road; and
WHEREAS, the 2005 Comprehensive Plan recognized that the largest area of commercial industrial development is located along Springs-Fireplace Road and that such uses are essential to the economy and overall operation of the Town, and that many of the residentially zoned parcels had already been significantly cleared and converted to commercial industrial uses, and such parcels were no longer suitable for residential use, and the Plan recommended the re-zoning of a number of such parcels to Commercial-Industrial; and
WHEREAS, the subject parcel, together with two adjoining parcels were not included in the 2005 re-zoning, as the parcels were still actively being utilized as single family residential parcels, but in 2012, at the request of the property owner, the two adjoining residentially zoned parcels were also re-zoned for Commercial-Industrial use; and
WHEREAS, this remaining parcel of residentially zoned property is not well suited for such purpose, being cleared and surrounded by commerical industrial uses, and its re-zoning to Commerical-Industrial use is consistent with the 2005 Comprehensive Plan; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that a public hearing is hereby scheduled to be held on a proposed Local Law amending Chapter 255 ("Zoning") of the East Hampton Town Code at Article XII thereof (the "Use District (Zoning) Map") in order to change the use district (zoning) classification of certain lands located within the Town of East Hampton, identified as SCTM# 300-147-7-27.1 from B-Residence to Commercial/Industrial (CI), all as more fully set forth in the text of the Local Law and on the accompanying map, said hearing to be held at the Town Hall Court Room, East Hampton Town Hall, 159 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, on July 6, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard, and said proposed Local Law to read as follows:
A Local Law providing for the amendment of Chapter 255 ("Zoning") of the East Hampton Town Code at Article XII thereof (the "Use District (Zoning) Map"), in order to change the use district (zoning) classification of certain lands located in the Town of East Hampton, such parcels being identified as SCTM #0300-147-7-27.1 from B-Residence to Commercial/Industrial (CI) zoning classification, said Local Law to read as follows:
This local law proposes to change the use district classification of a certain property currently designated B-Residnce to Commercial-Industrial (CI) zoning designation, as a more appropriate use designation in view of the zoning of surrounding properties and the uses existing on those properties.
The subject parcel consists of approximately one-quarter (0.25) acre on Springs Fireplace Road identified on the Suffolk County Tax Map as SCTM #0300-147-7-27.1. Pursuant to the recommendations of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan, which recommended that properties adjacent to the subject property be rezoned from B Residence to Commercial-Industrial (CI) in view of the fact that such properties, though zoned for residential use, had been largely denuded of vegetation, and converted to commercial and industrial uses. The subject parcel, and two adjoining parcels, were at the time being actively utilized for residential purposes, and as a result, these three properties were not included in the 2005 re-zoning. However, in 2012, at the request of the property owner, the two adjoinng parcels, SCTM #0300-147-7-6 and 28, were re-zoned to Commerical-Industrial use, leaving the subject parcel as the only remaining residentially zoned property in this block. Rezoning of the subject premises from B-Residence to Commercial-Industrial is appropriate and consistent with the recommendations of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan.
Chapter 255 ("Zoning") of the East Hampton Town Code is hereby amended at Article XII, "Use District (Zoning) Map," to provide for a change in the Use District Classification for certain lands as shown on the accompanying map and as more fully described below:

SPH - Amend Chapter 255, Use District Map
WHEREAS, the Town of East Hampton is the owner of certain properties located between Springs-Fireplace Road and Accabonac Road, East Hampton, which the Town Board believes to have been improperly re-zoned to Parks & Conservation (PC) use, a zoning classification which ignored the disturbed nature of such parcels and their actual pre-existing use as commercial properties utilized as a part of the Town's Recycling Center, Transfer Station and Scavenger Waste Treatment facility; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that a public hearing is hereby scheduled to be held on a proposed Local Law amending Chapter 255 ("Zoning") of the East Hampton Town Code at Article XII thereof (the "Use District (Zoning) Map") in order to change the use district (zoning) classification of certain lands located within the Town of East Hampton, identified as SCTM# 300-149-1-004 & 005 from PC to Commercial/Industrial (CI), all as more fully set forth in the text of the Local Law and on the accompanying map, said hearing to be held at the Town Hall Court Room, East Hampton Town Hall, 159 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, on July 6, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard, and said proposed Local Law to read as follows:
A Local Law providing for the amendment of Chapter 255 ("Zoning") of the East Hampton Town Code at Article XII thereof (the "Use District (Zoning) Map"), in order to change the use district (zoning) classification of certain lands located in the Town of East Hampton, such parcels being identified as SCTM #0300-149-1-004 & 005 from PC (Parks and Conservation) to Commercial/Industrial (CI) zoning classification, said Local Law to read as follows:
This local law proposes to change the use district classification of certain properties that were erroneously designated PC (Parks and Conservation) to Commercial/Industrial (CI) zoning designation, as a more appropriate use designation in view of the existing and pre-existing uses on the premises.
The subject parcels consist of two narrow (85 +/- ft.) parcels which run from Springs Fireplace Road to Accabonac Road and are identified on the Suffolk County Tax Map as SCTM #0300-149-1-004 & 005. Pursuant to the recommendations of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan, which recommended that Town owned properties immediately north of the Town Recycling Center and Transfer Station be rezoned from A Residence to Parks and Conservation (PC), these properties, together with SCTM #0300-149-1-003 were rezoned for Parks & Conservation use. However, only SCTM #0300-149-1-003, which is approximately 260 +/-feet in width, was wooded and had the potential to provide some buffering from the commercial uses at the Town's Recycling Center/Transfer Station and Scavenger Waste facility. The two other parcels, SCTM #0300-149-1-004 & 005 are, and were at the time of their rezoning to PC, heavily disturbed and utilized in connection with the Town Recycling Center and Transfer Station, as well as the Town Scavenger Waste Treatment facility. An examination of the tax map parcel list included in the Comprehensive Plan shows all three parcels on that list recommended for re-zoning to Commercial-Industrial use. Reviewing the conflicting recommendations of the two sections of the Comprehensive Plan, and the existing uses of the parcels, it appears that only SCTM #0300-149-1-003 was suitable for and intended to be re-zoned to PC, while the other two parcels, SCTM #0300-149-1-004 & 005, were intended to be re-zoned to Commercial-Industrial (CI), to provide for their zoning classification to be consistent with their use.
The Town Board has determined that rezoning SCTM #0300-149-1-004 & 005 for Commercial/Industrial (CI) and retaining the Parks & Conservation (PC) zoning for SCTM #0300-149-1-003 is appropriate and consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and meets the goal intended by such Plan.
