Sandpebble Project Management Honored on 50th Anniversary

Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine and Westhampton Beach Village Mayor Ralph Urban recently presented proclamations recognizing Sandpebble Project Management of Speonk for its 50 years of service as an advocate for public-sector clients across Long Island.

Both officials cited the company’s long record of professionalism, transparency, and leadership in managing major municipal and community construction projects.

“For five decades, Sandpebble has brought vision, precision, and excellence to the construction and renovation of libraries, fire districts, and municipal buildings, enhancing the quality of life for residents from Amityville to Sag Harbor,” said Suffolk County Executive Romaine. “Their proven ability to deliver complex public projects on time and within budget speaks to their leadership and professionalism.”

Both leaders praised Sandpebble’s enduring contributions to public infrastructure and community improvement projects that serve residents across Suffolk County and the East End.

“Sandpebble has provided expert, client-first project management services, ensuring that vital construction projects — such as our Main Street and Village Hall renovation projects — were completed on time, within budget, and aligned with the needs of our community,” said Mayor Urban. “This milestone is a chance to recognize their enduring contributions to the infrastructure, quality of life, and resilience of Long Island’s public institutions.”

Victor Canseco, president and CEO of Sandpebble Project Management, expressed gratitude on behalf of the firm.

“This recognition reflects the hard work of the entire Sandpebble family,” Canseco said, in a press release. “Every project we have managed — from libraries to emergency service facilities — represents collaboration, integrity, and the belief that public spaces should serve the people first.”

Sandpebble’s eastern Long Island portfolio includes Westhampton Beach Fire Department; Westhampton Beach downtown revitalization; Westhampton Beach Village Hall; Westhampton Free Library; Sag Harbor fire and police departments; John Jermain Memorial Library; East Hampton Emergency Services; East Hampton RecCenter; Southampton Village Police Department; Southampton Hospital; and the Amagansett Free Library.

Dear Neighbor

Congratulations on your new windows. They certainly are big. They certainly are see-through. You must be thrilled with the way they removed even more of that wall and replaced it with glass.

It’s a 12-month undertaking for Lofaro and her staff, and the result is always a tantalizing buffet of outstanding filmmaking, not to mention unforgettable stories.

Hitting Pause

East Hampton’s housing shortage is real; the town can’t afford to ignore any potential long-term solutions. But the recent — and now scrapped — plan for a large employer-run complex on Three Mile Harbor Road raises too many questions that haven’t been fully answered. The proposal, put forward by Kirby Marcantonio and an unnamed partner, would have created 79 units of employer-controlled housing, comparable to a project he has pitched on Pantigo Road. To make it happen, the East Hampton Town Board would have had to allow the project to sidestep the town’s 60-unit limit on affordable developments, and rezone ... by Editorial Board

Proceed With Caution

Overlay districts are a common zoning tool used by many municipalities. Southampton Town has used them to varying degrees of success — the aquifer protection overlay district has been a winner; a downtown overlay district in Hampton Bays less so — in various parts of the town. They essentially look at the existing zoning, then allow those rules governing what can be done on properties to be reconsidered if there’s a newer concern to be addressed. In a bid to clean up the process for creating more affordable housing, the Town Board is looking at a new overlay district that ... by Editorial Board

The Whole Picture

When it comes to evaluating a complex development proposal, splitting up the application into separate parts may seem tempting, especially when environmental uncertainties loom. But in the case of Adam Potter’s plan for 7 and 11 Bridge Street, the Sag Harbor Village Planning Board should resist any temptation to segment the project for review. Potter’s attorney has asked the board to consider the gas ball property at 5 Bridge Street — a site that could provide the 93 parking spaces required for Potter’s 48 residential units and commercial spaces nearby — separate from the main development. The reason is understandable: ... by Editorial Board

New Law Requires Owners of Historic Buildings in Sag Harbor To Document Historic Features Before Renovation Work

The stories are almost commonplace: People seeing dumpsters full of old windows, doors and trim outside historic houses in Sag Harbor that are being renovated. On Tuesday, the Village Board adopted a proposal that it hopes will help put an end to that practice. It will require the owner of a historic house to complete a construction protocol and preservation plan before undertaking any major renovation. That document could be a few sentences or several pages long, depending on the type of work being considered. The amendment requires that the plan outlines “with specificity the detailed preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and/or ... by Stephen J. Kotz

Potential Disaster

It’s back — the federal government’s push to expand offshore oil drilling. The waters off Long Island are not in the plan, as of now.
