Developers Submit New Canoe Place Inn Application

The PDD law should be repealed. The existing zoning.should remain in place on both the CPI site and the Tide Runners site. The public benefits more from waterfront restaurants than it does from the increased density resulting from 40 condos. The Tuckahoe PDD was rejected now let's see it the Town Board has the courage to reject a PDD located in Hampton Bays. " Mar 26, 11 11:26 PM

Southampton Town Code Enforcement Targets Flanders Home

All these houses should have rental permits. The rental permit process was put in place years ago to combat group rentals. Call the Town of Southampton Department of Land Management if you think a house is over crowed or violating the rental laws at (631-287-5700)' ask if a rental permit is on file, if not call code enforcement at 631-702-2928 and ask for a complaint form to start the process of getting the landlord to obtain a valid rental permit. These forms can be downloaded from th town WEB site or acquired at Town Hall. It is very hard to get a rental permit if a house is in violation. If you think criminal activity is being conducted by illegal aliens call US ICE Securties Communities at 1-866-347-2423. Take back your community. Go to

CPI Proposal Starts Official Review

Trading the CPI repair job for 40 more town houses or condos along side the Shinnecock Canal is a bad deal for Hampton Bays. The zoning should not be changed by this phony PDD law. The Tide Runners and One North restaurants are worth more to the people of the Hamptons than 40 new town houses whose kitchens, bathrooms and laundries will polute the Shinnecock Canal and Peconic Bay and Shinnecock Bay. When will Councilman Jim Malone start to stand up for the people in Hampton Bays instead of the interest of politically connected developers." Apr 14, 11 3:07 PM

Iconic Lobster Inn Is Sold, Condos Could Be Future

I hope they don't try and get a PDD to build these condos. The last thing Hampton Bays needs Is more density and more pollution in Peconic bay. I hope this in not another CPI like project. What's wrong with keeping the restaurant zoning or building a nice one family house that conforms to.existing zoning. If we lose the Lobster Inn and Tide Runners we are really lowering the quality of life in Hampton Bays. Losing two beautiful waterfront reataurants is really a shame. " Feb 3, 12 11:20 AM

Pell Refuses To Recuse Himself From East Quogue Dock Application

Bill Pell was elected by the people of the Town of Southampton to look after the waterfront in the town. He should vote to protect the beautiful bay grasses that exist behind Mr. Hoffmens restaurant. He should not cave in to a legal gimmick proposed by Mr. Hoffman's lawyer. Bill should live up to his responsibility to protect the bay and not recuse himself." Feb 3, 12 12:44 PM

New Canoe Place Inn Application Filed With Town

The PDD law should not be used to circumvent the Town Zoning Laws. Combining the CPI site with building 40 New Town Houses and a Club House with a huge septic system on a hill overlooking the east side of the Shinnecock Canal is not what the PDD law was intended to be used for. Adding this much density and pollution to a site that feeds the water of both Peconic and Shinnecock Bays should be avoided at all cost. The R Squared Company should be allowed to build what they want within the existing zoning laws. There is no reason for the town to help facilitate adding all these septic systems to both sides of the canal by using a law intended to build projects that provide a public benefit. Where is there a public benefit in replacing two public waterfront restaurants with 40 Town Houses and a club house next to the canal. " Mar 16, 12 12:59 PM

The $20 per square foot renovation the R Squared people hplan to spend to renovate the CPI is a joke. Renovatibg a 78 year old 98,000 sq ft building for $2 million is impossible in the Hamptons.They are just planning on putting lip stick on the pig. They are just buying enough time to build the 40 town houses and the septic system then will dump the useless CPI on the town to avoid paying the $90K per year in real estate taxes. The CPI is a dump and should be replaced with a park using CPF funding. The restaurant zoning on the East side of the canal should be retained. There is no public benefit that justifies using the PDD
law for this project." Mar 26, 12 11:45 PM

Forces Tried To Oust Southampton Town Police Chief

How do we know the Stonybrook PHD's did not release contaminated shell fish spawn into our Bays. There have been grassy lawns adjacent to the bay for 50 years. Have they ever tested for this saxotoxin before this season. It looks like someone looking for another grant so they can justify their existence. " Apr 15, 12 4:57 PM

New Canoe Place Inn Application Filed With Town

The pre-submission document says 99,000 square feet on two floors. The fact remains to renovate a space in the Hamptons you need to spend at least $250 a square foot. The Inn needs everything from the roof down. This building should be torn down and replaced with something like 20 town houses where the owners can get some return on their investment. The building is beyond repair after 40 plus years on neglect. The CPI site should not be linked to replacing waterfront restaurants on the east side of the Shinnecock Canal. These restaurants and Fishing store provide more of a "Public Benefit" that restoring the CPI. This building should never be turned over to the Hampton Bays Historical Socity." May 22, 12 6:14 AM
