Notice of Public Hearing to Consider Local Law Amending Chapter 182 to Remove a Property from the Town Nature Preserve
WHEREAS, the Town of East Hampton acquired a parcel of property on the west side of the intersection of Springs-Fireplace Road at its intersection with Three Mile Harbor Road from the East Hampton Lions Club, Inc. in 1971; and
WHEREAS the Town of East Hampton acquired the adjoining northerly parcel on the westerly side of Springs-Fireplace Road in 1972 from Edwin L. Sherrill; and
WHEREAS, the East Hampton Lions Club parcel and the Sherrill parcel were later combined and designated on the Suffolk County Tax Map as SCTM #0300-163.00-03.00-007.000 consisting of approximately two (2) acres located between and at the intersection of Three Mile Harbor Road (County Road 40) and Springs-Fireplace Road (County Road 41); and
WHEREAS, the Town, after adopting Chapter 182 "Nature Preserve" of the Town Code, dedicated numerous Town-owned properties as "Nature Preserve parcels" and SCTM #0300-163.00-03.00-007.000 was listed in Table II, which set forth designated nature preserve parcels within the East Hampton School District, as the "Sherrill Triangle - Three Mile Harbor Road & Springs Fireplace Road"; and
WHEREAS, with the growth of the Town since the acquisition of the Sherrill Triangle and the increase in traffic at the intersection of Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs-Fireplace Road has resulted in traffic congestion and risks to public safety, and the Town has examined various possible solutions to alleviate traffic, and reduce the public safety risks presently existing due to the current design of this intersection; and
WHEREAS, it is believed that a re-design of the intersection, utilizing traffic circles and improved road designs would alleviate traffic congestion as well as potential vehicular and/or pedestrian accidents, but installation of such improvements would require the use of additional property at the intersection in order to install such improvements; and
WHEREAS, due to the location of the "Sherill Triangle" between Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs-Fireplace Road, the Town Board believes this property is the only viable location upon which necessary road improvements may be installed, and as a result, the Town sought legislation from the New York State Legislature to eliminate any parkland designation on the Sherrill Triangle, and such relief was granted by the legislature by Senate Bill S09741a and Assembly Bill A10413a and pursuant to Article IX of the State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law; and
WHEREAS, in order to proceed with the installation of improvements to the intersection, the Sherrill Triangle will also require the removal of the Nature Preserve designation from the parcel, and pursuant to Chapter 182 "Nature Preserve" the Town Board must conduct a public hearing, with notice of the same published no less than 14 nor more than 30 days prior to the hearing, and the Town Board, by a majority plus one vote of its members, must determine that an imperative and unavoidable public necessity exists requiring the removal of the parcel from the Town's Nature Preserve designation, and the Town Board wishes to hear the comments of the public with regard to the same; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Town Board shall hold a public hearing on shall be held on August 15, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon after as this matter can be heard, at East Hampton Town Hall, 159 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, New York, to hear any and all persons with regard to a local law entitled: “A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code Chapter 182 “Nature Preserve” Article IV “East Hampton Town Nature Preserve - Register of Properties” Table II “Town of East Hampton - Owned Lands, Parcels within East Hampton School District” to remove the “Sherrill Triangle” property as a Town Nature Preserve” such local law to read as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. OF 2024
Intro. of 2024
A LOCAL LAW amending Town Code Chapter 182 “Nature Preserve” Article IV “East Hampton Town Nature Preserve - Register of Properties”. Table II “Town of East Hampton - Owned Lands, Parcels within East Hampton School District” to remove the “Sherrill Triangle” property as a Town Nature Preserve”.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of East Hampton as follows:
SECTION I. Legislative Intent.
This local law amends Chapter 182 “Nature Preserve”, Article IV “East Hampton Town Nature Preserve - Register of Properties” Table II, which lists town-owned properties within the East Hampton School District included in the Town Nature Preserve, to remove an approximately two (2) acre parcel known as the “Sherrill Triangle”, located between Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs-Fireplace Road and at the intersection of the same. Traffic congestion at this intersection has increased significantly in recent years, and poses a public safety risk. The Town Board has urged the County of Suffolk to consider making improvements to the intersection in the interest of alleviating traffic congestion and improving public safety, but in order to make any significant improvements, additional land at the intersection is needed. The Sherrill Triangle appears to be the only reasonable location upon which further improvements to this intersection may be installed. As a result, the Town believes that an imperative and unavoidable public necessity pursuant to Section 182-14B(2) of Chapter 182 supports the removal of the Nature Preserve designation from the Sherill Triangle, making the property available for installation of highway improvements.
SECTION II. Amendment.
Chapter 182 of the East Hampton Town Code is hereby amended at Article IV, with respect to Table II of the Register of Properties, by removing the property SCTM 0300-167-3-7 "Sherrill Triangle" below (shown in bold cross out) as follows:

Proposition with Abstract for November Referendum To Discontinue Nature Preserve Designation - Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs-Fireplace Road For Highway Improvements.
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of East Hampton by Resolution No. 2024-730 supported an initiative of the New York State Legislature and approved a Home Rule Message that authorized the Town of East Hampton to alienate and convey certain parcels designated as parkland for the purpose of improving the intersection of Springs-Fireplace Road and Three Mile Harbor Road, two County roads, in furtherance of Senate Bill S09741a and Assembly Bill A10413a and pursuant to Article IX of the State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law; and
WHEREAS, by the aforementioned Resolution, the Town Board requested the New York State Legislature enact such legislation; and
WHEREAS, the New York State Legislature has approved the legislation allowing the alienation of parkland and the same has been adopted into law; and
WHEREAS, the Town now wishes to remove the same parcel of land from the Town Nature Preserve designation in order to allow the property or portions thereof to be utilized for road improvements to the intersection of Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs-Fireplace Road in order to improve traffic safety and traffic movement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized to send following ballot proposition and abstract, together with the Spanish translation, to the Suffolk County Board of Elections, Yaphank Avenue, Yaphank, NY, for inclusion on the ballot at the November 5, 2024, general election:
PROPOSITION No. ___
For submission to the Electors of the Town of East Hampton
At the next general election to be held on Nov. 5, 2024
English
“Shall the Town of East Hampton discontinue as a Town Nature Preserve and convey to Suffolk County a parcel of land located at the intersection of County Road 40, commonly referred to as Three Mile Harbor Road, and County Road 41, commonly referred to as Springs-Fireplace Road, for the purpose of a roadway improvement project that will address longstanding traffic delays and public safety issues at the intersection of Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs-Fireplace Road? Yes or No?
Spanish
“Debe el Municipio de East Hampton discontinuar la condición de Reserva Natural Muncipal y transferir al Condado de Suffolk la parcela de un terreno ubicado en la intersección de la carretera County Road 40, comúnmente conocida como Three Mile Harbor Road y la carretera conocida como County Road 41 conocida comúnmente como Springs Fireplace Road, con el propósito de adelantar un proyecto que mejorará la vía y solucionará los problemas de retrasos de tráfico y de seguridad pública en dicha intersección. ¿Sí o no?"
ABSTRACT FOR PROPOSITION No. _
This proposal will allow the Town to utilize a parcel of land located at the intersection of Three Mile Harbor Road (County Road 40) and Springs-Fireplace Road (County Road 41) and currently listed as a property included as a Nature Preserve pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 182 "Nature Preserve" of the Town Code.
Upon removal of the Nature Preserve designation, the parcel may be utilized for necessary improvements to the Three Mile Harbor and Springs-Fireplace Road intersection. Improvements to the intersection are intended to address longstanding traffic congestion and safety issues. The development of other parcels surrounding the intersection makes the Town-owned parcel currently designated as a Nature Preserve the only suitable parcel that can be used for necessary improvements of this intersection.
The New York State Legislature has previously passed legislation to remove any parkland designation from the Town's parcel, and the removal of the Nature Preserve designation under the Town Code will allow the parcel to be utilized for improvements to the intersection which the Town Board believes are necessary to alleviate congestion and improve public safety.
