We ask when you come up to speak to kindly keep your comments to three minutes. Uh what we do before we start is we have our town historian here tonight, Hugh King. Welcome, Hugh. Thank you, Madamor. Um last time I talked about a stalwart of amigans, Josephine Kraky who passed away. Well, another stalwart has passed away, Helen Ratray. Okay. Now, Helen Ratray was appointed the associate editor of the paper in 1976. And why that's
003important because it was the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Well, few people issued more declarations of independence than Helen Ratray when she was running that paper. the Star. She was the chief editor from 1980 to 2003. She continued the strong tradition of strong independent journalism upheld by her husband Everred Ratray and her mother-in-law Janette Edwards Ratray. That some of the journalists who worked at the Star will go on to work at the New York Times, NPR, and the Baltimore Sun. She was inducted into the Press Club of Long Island's Journalism Hall of Fame in 2017. But here's what's important about Helen. She suffered errors, whether of omission or commission. Innocent, innocent or incompetent, badly. Let me repeat that. She suffered errors whether of omission or commission. Innocent or incompetent badly. Okay. Now, the
004day the paper was ready to go to press, those on the second floor would listen to Helen's footsteps coming up the stairs to the second floor and could be tell by the sounds of her steps what was going to happen. And don't listen to Jack Graves bragging that he worked at the Star for over 40 years because he turned his hearing off hearing aids off when Helen was on the prowl. Okay. And there were over a hundred people at Dashwa Hall uh even more than that at her memorial service the other day. So if nobody else dies, I'm going to come back next time and talk about Bill Jacobs, one of the police chiefs. We've gotten away from that. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Hugh. Okay. So, now we're going to move on to
005our public hearings. Carol, if you could read the first meeting notice.

Is there anyone here that would like to address the board on this public hearing? Matthew, is there anyone on the line? We have no callers on the line. Motion to close. Second. All in favor? I. Carol, if you could please read the second meeting notice, please. Take notice that the town board of the town of East Hampton will hold a public hearing in the town board meeting room, East Hampton Town Hall, 159 Panagle Road, East Hampton, pursuant to section 247 of the general municipal
008law and section 64E8 of the town law of the state of New York on May 1st at 6:00 p.m. are soon thereafter as this matter may be heard to consider the town's acquisition for the preservation of open space with community preservation funds of a property located at 351 Oldstone Highway Springs repeatedly owned by Jerry Peler and Peter Jiller and consisting of approximately 5.4 4 acres of developed land at a cost of the town of East Hampton not to exceed $1,750,000 plus reasonable survey title prrated tax and recording charges said property being described on the Suffach County Tax Map as 38365. Thank you, Carol. Scott, did you want to introduce this? Sure, I'd be glad to. So, the property on your screen that you're looking at outlined in blue is the property in question. Uh this
009is almost where um Old Stone meets Laos Point Road. That sort of triangle there in the corner. Uh this is actually a property I've been Scott, you may want to move that mic back in front of you. Sure. I think I disturbed it. I'm sorry. No problem. This is a property I've actually been periodically on and off trying to acquire since I first started here in January of 2006. So, we've taken several tries to work with the landowners to acquire and just recently they've agreed to sell and we've struck a deal. And this is what I'm here to talk about. It was an excellent candidate then as it is now. And both the CPF advisory board and the planning department support the preservation of this property. This property has extensive freshwater wetlands with some standing
010water. I don't know if you can quite see it here, but this entire dark area both under the green and across this entire property right out to the street is one large wetland in the center. Uh actually it has some standing water on it. The wetlands flow from the eastern parcel through the subject property into aquaponic harbor. Any of you who drive or live in this area know this is floodprone area and wetlands absorb and store flood waters and improve water quality. Redevelopment of this parcel will have a negative impact on the wetlands and the water quality of Aabonic. Conversely, removal of structures would increase protection of this wetland and the harbor. This parcel is adjacent to uh other protected lands and across the street are adjacent to the harbor protection overlay district, the acrobatic
011harbor significant coastal fish wildlife habitat, a critical environmental area, piconic estuary program, critical natural resources area, a scenic area of statewide significance and DEC title wetlands. This parcel meets the criteria set forth in town law 64E and as such I would ask the board to pass a resolution to acquire. Thank you, Scott. So, I don't have anyone signed up for this public hearing. Is there anyone here that would like to address the board? Matthew, is there anyone on the line? Hi, this is uh Jason. There's one person on the line. I just wanted to make sure that there was something noted for record. We had one small glitch on our broadcast. Um the channel went dark for a second, then to the wrong meeting, and then back here. We we fixed it. But I just
012want to make sure that was noted, but the YouTube and the record itself are still fine. We have one caller on the line, and I'll let them through right now. Thank you. Caller 4221, you are on the air. Thank you. Good evening, town board. This is Jane Mering, resident of Amigansen. I'm speaking as an individual citizen, not speaking as a member of or on behalf of any uh town appointed board. Um back on September 5th, 2024, this board had a public hearing regarding a proposed uh CPF acquisition of45 acre. uh parcel uh address was 91 Northwest Landing Road. Um that lot had a thousand square foot 1940s fisherman cottage on it that as part of the acquisition was uh required to be demolished. Though I didn't speak at the public hearing, I did offer some
013comments at the public portion that followed that evening and I raised the concept that perhaps demolition of viable housing um immediately as a condition of CPF acquisition shouldn't be the automatic presumption or requirement. So this evening as part of this public hearing I would like to re reiterate that idea. I note that the resolution 22025574 indicates quote as part of the negotiation the structures will be removed at seller's expense returning parcel back to the natural state. You know I think a lot of people know I love a natural state but here we have a 5.7 acre property and a small 1500 square foot modest um uh house close to the road that doesn't really seem to impact open space or natural state. So again, I just as part of this public hearing, I want to
014respectfully raise the same premise. Can our town find a way to bring CHF and CPF together creatively on houses like this? Why not upgrade sanitary systems, renovate the house? You're not going to have big development and and place it in perpetual affordable housing stock. Um, you know, not that long ago, we heard Katie Casey describe the thousands of people who are quote her clients. We know how many people are on waiting list. So, I ask, shouldn't every housing possibility be considered for affordable housing? And I, you know, I was most inspired by Councilman Lease when he spoke not that long ago at a Suffach County hearing regarding the 72H parcels where he said, I think I'm paraphrasing, every one affordable housing unit we create is one more than what we have now. That's meaningful. That
015resonated with me. So, I did really I really believe there are creative solutions. Um, there's always time to demolish, but once it's gone, it's gone. And then bottom line, I do support this CPF acquisition and thank you for acquiring this property. Thank you, Jane. Jason, is there anyone else on the line? Uh, we have no callers on the on the line at this time. Okay, Matthew, you're back. I am back. Yes. Okay. Good. All right. So, do I have a motion to close? Motion to close. Second. All in favor?
