If you live within the proposed watershed you need to attend this meeting.  Attendance at this meeting will help property owners gather critical information contained in this proposed plan that will be needed to address the Town Board at a public hearing tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at 6:00 PM.  If adopted this plan will implement sweeping changes that are wide-ranging from zoning, preservation, land acquisition, waste management/cesspools, etc. We are in the process of uploading information to our web-site at www.YaphankCivic.org , please check periodically for additional updates.

Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) meeting.
The Levy administration has submitted a draft environmental impact statement to CEQ on Legacy Village. The EIS is on the agenda for this meeting. A  copy of the draft EIS is still unavailable for distribution. We have all waited patiently for this and once it is approved and before the legislature they will consider both Levy’s resolution to sell the land for the development of Legacy Village and Presiding Officer Lindsay’s bill to kill Legacy Village and declare some of the land surplus. Anyone who can attend this meeting next week should in order to comment on the draft, and also to gather any important information you may need to address the legislature at its next meeting. The next two months will decide the future of this land in Yaphank and all concerned residents need to be fully engaged in the process. The agenda is available at:  http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/Home/departments/planning/Minutes.aspx#CEQ
