The Shoreham Hamlet Study is a report, prepared by residents, that describes the community as it is today and makes recommendations about land use patterns for the hamlet’s future. What area does the study cover? The study covers the area of East Shoreham, the Incorporated Village of Shoreham, Leisure Glen, and the western part of Wading River in the Town of Brookhaven. What is the purpose of the study? The study was conducted in order to give residents a voice in the Town of Brookhaven’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which is being revised for the first time since 1996. How were the recommendations decided? A community survey was conducted in June, 2001. The results were analyzed by Dr. Lee Koppelman, Executive Director of the Long Island Regional Planning Board. The recommendations were formulated by a committee of community members, based on the survey results as well as existing zoning, land use plans in neighboring communities, and constraints such as the Pine Barrens Act. What happens next? The Hamlet Study was formally presented to the Town Board on July 11, 2002. The Town will decide which recommendations to include in the revised Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Civics and other community organizations will also work with County and State government agencies to achieve our goals. Survey Results - Key Issues • Loss of open space • Overdevelopment • Property taxes • Traffic flow and safety • Lack of recreational facilities Goals • Convert the Rte. 25A corridor in central Shoreham into Shoreham’s Main Street. • Open Miller Ave. as a boulevard south from Route 25A to Cooper Street. • Create a Shoreham Sound Nature Preserve along the beaches and bluffs west of LIPA. • Require below-surface soil sampling in areas of known long-term contamination. http://www.shorehamcivic.homestead.com/files/Hamlet_study_brochure.htm (1 of 2)5/17/2007 10:23:34 AM Shoreham Hamlet Study • Create parks and athletic fields on Town land and in new developments. • Add an elementary school south of Rte. 25A. • Establish a Brookhaven Energy Technology Park for research and development in alternative energy sources. • Save the Woodhull house, the Tesla lab, and the LIRR bridge as historic sites.

Particular thanks are due Mr. Felix Grucci, former Supervisor of the Town of Brookhaven, who agreed to support this study, and to his successor, Supervisor John Jay LaValle, who reiterated that support. Dr. Lee Koppelman, Executive Directory of the Long Island Regional Planning Board, acted as a consultant on this project. We are grateful for the eminent expertise that he brought to bear, and for his wisdom and guidance as we struggled to turn idealistic ideas into more practical plans. The Shoreham Hamlet Study Core Committee is a group of volunteers from the three communities that are covered by this report. In addition to determining the scope of the study, developing a structure and writing and distributing the Hamlet Study Survey, members of the committee also served as chairpersons for the subcommittees on History, Land Use, Recreation, Transportation, Environment, Institutions, Schools and Energy. Some of the subcommittees met frequently, while others focused on research. Some completed their work in hours; others needed months. We thank everyone who contributed in ways large and small, with special praise for the members of the Land Use subcommittee. In addition to several members of the Hamlet Study Core Committee, this group included Brian Mahoney, Perry Milanese and Lou Sadler. A great many people reorganized their priorities in order to contribute their time and effort to these subcommittees. Those priorities changed again following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The work of the Hamlet Study was set aside for several weeks as families and the community came together in a time of tragedy and reassessment. This Hamlet Study was delayed as a result. We appreciate the patience of The Town Board and the residents of our community for enduring the long wait. Many other people contributed to this Hamlet Study by sharing their own experience and knowledge. Suffolk County Legis. Martin Haley and his staff, and Lori Baldessare, President of the Mt. Sinai Civic Organization, have been very generous with their time. Special thanks go to Sid Bail, President of the Wading River Civic Association, who both helped get our Hamlet Study off the ground and served on the Land Use subcommittee.

  • Suffolk County, a National Leader in Environmental Initiatives
    LIHJ — Founded by Roger Wunderlich in 1988 published by the Center for Global & Local History a unit of the Stony Brook Institute for Global Studies Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3380 ISSN 0898-7084 Editor in Chief Associate Editor Associate Editor Editor at Large Charles Backfish Noel Gish Joshua Ruff Wolf Schäfer HOME ABOUT LIHJ LIHJ BOARD AUTHORS RESOURCES SEARCH SUBSCRIBE Volume 22, Issue 2, Summer 2011 Suffolk County, a National Leader in Environmental Initiatives. Why? R. Lawrence Swanson, Carolyn Hall, and Kristin Kramss Stony Brook University Abstract: Suffolk County has been a leader, often within New York State and sometimes nationally, in developing plans and legislation to preserve the bodies of water, farmlands, and open spaces. Is this circumstantial and fortuitous? Or, were there forces that inspired governmental leaders to take action? This article explores those questions with the hope of inspiring our next generation of leaders to be vigilant and bold as threats to our natural resources, open spaces, and health continue to arise. Keywords: Drinking water, water quality, farmlands, open space, planning, environmental laws, environmental legislation The government of Suffolk County has been a leader in creating environmental and conservation initiatives and legislation over the last half century.1 Many were the first of their kind within New York State and even the country. Why is this? Economics? Limited natural resources? Personnel? And when did this begin? The county’s legacy of protecting natural resources and the environment continues to this day. The primary areas for the county’s actions centered on preservation of water quantity and quality (surface and drinking), management of sewage and solid waste, and maintenance of agriculture and open space.

  • Final Report
    FINAL REPORT Ethnographic Overview and Assessment Fire Island National Seashore Setha M. Low, Ph.D. Principal Investigator Dana H. Taplin, Ph.D. Project Director and Author Andrew Kirby, Ph.D. and Mara Heppen, B.S., Field Researchers Public Space Research Group of the Center for Human Environments Graduate Center, City University of New York 365 Fifth Avenue, New York City 10016 Pursuant to Cooperative Agreement H4520030016 And Amendment 1 (Scope of Work) Between the National Park Service, Northeast Region, and the Graduate School and University Center, City University of New York July 2006 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS) commissioned this Ethnographic Overview and Assessment pursuant to Park Service policies that require parks to consult with groups and communities having continuing ecological, cultural, and historical relationships with park resources. The research will have immediate and specific application in the development of a General Management Plan for the park. The Ethnographic Overview and Assessment reviews the state of knowledge and documentation on the groups and communities thought to have important and continuing cultural relationships with the Seashore’s natural and cultural resources. Part history and part ethnography, the EO&A traces the history of each of these groups and communities with regard to their use of and attachments to the lands, waters, fish and wildlife, and other resources within the FIIS boundary. Information in this EO&A will help managers evaluate requests for access to resources, as well as identify park resources that may require special treatment or protection. Research Phases and Methods The six months from October 2003 through early April 2004 constituted the ethnohistorical research phase of the project.

Land Use Policy and Development on Long Island Richard Murdocco Fordham University, May 2009 1 Rich Murdocco A Statement from the Author My name is Richard Murdocco, and this is my introduction to my senior thesis. I am writing my thesis on Suburban Land Use on Long Island as it relates to Superfund sites and policy making. There is no scholarly detachment from the subject matter in this piece, for I have been a Long Islander my whole life. It is from this milieu that I have undertaken this endeavor, and I feel that my years of residence can help me dissect the various idiosyncrasies that make a place like Long Island unique. When I was younger, I always wanted to live in New York City. I was always attracted to the busting metropolis, and was lucky enough to have the opportunity when I attended Fordham University.
