No More Deals

I am writing in opposition to the proposed residential project on the site of the Dockers restaurant on Dune Road in East Quogue [“East Quogue Residents, Environmental Advocates Condemn Condo Proposal at Dockers Site,” 27east.com, November 8]. As I understand it, the project requires a zoning change from one nonconforming use to another. I have lived in the town long enough to remember that when a nonconforming use was exhausted, the site had to revert to a conforming use. No more exceptions, no more deals — simply adhere to the existing zoning. I believe this continued movement to disregard existing ... by Staff Writer

Forever Grateful

To our wonderful community: On August 5, our family’s life was turned upside down. Immediately, the love from our community traveled to us. When things seemed scary and overwhelming, our friends and family showed up [“The Town’s Turn To Help a Helper,” Sports, 27east.com, November 4]. You know who you are! Thank you for the Hampton Jitney tickets, so we could travel to be with Rob as he was treated in the city. Thank you for the meals that were delivered to our home, and for the help with our yard, so we could focus on our family. Thank you ... by Staff Writer

Thankful, and Not

Thanksgiving is synonymous with harvest. Reaping what you have sown, you walk across the threshold of the field, your machete idle but ready to swing, to neatly lob off a head of broccoli. The level of satisfaction is hard to replicate in layman’s terms, somewhere between basketball’s slam dunk and capturing the flag. Harvest is what gave us some primordial ease, that the dark, cold months will not be hungry ones. The ancient discovery that successful agriculture could offer its practitioners self-reliance — to a degree — is what set us on the path to discovering other things, like gratefulness. ... by Marilee Foster

End the Tyranny

Re: “Sound Familiar?” [Letters, November 6]: Yes, it sounds familiar. I have been giving a lecture called “The Tyranny of Landscaping” for 30 years in over 200 venues across Long Island. The “tyranny” is as follows: First, it’s complete and utter ecosystem destruction. Next comes the turf grass, along with trees and shrubs from other parts of the world that need life support to live here. Next, it’s the pesticides, the water use, the emissions, and then that damned life-ruining noise of the !+@%”*#*^*! “Infernal Gadgets” [Letters, November 13] — leaf blowers! Why? What is wrong with us? Why are ... by Staff Writer

Off-Market Amagansett Deal Breaks East End Record with $115 Million Sale

When the most recent deed transfers landed in email inboxes last week, jaws dropped in shock and awe when viewers realized that, toward the top of the pile, the sale price for 408 Further Lane in Amagansett was not a typo. It was a record-shattering $115 million — marking the most expensive single residential parcel to ever sell on the East End, though it is unclear which brokerages were involved in the off-market, nine-figure deal that closed on July 31. The identity of the buyer, listed as “Brise Lontaine LLC,” is shielded. But according to previous reports, the seller was ... by Staff Writer
