8. Coastal Area and 100-year
Floodplain.
After the devastating Hurricane Andrew hit the
Florida coast in 1992, insurance companies began to redline coastal
districts including much of the area covered in this study. We feel
that this is another reason to upzone the entire CEA to at least
A2
and that no new development should be allowed within the 100-year
floodplain.
9. No Commercial Centers Between Bellport and Shirley.
A concern that residents of South Haven and
Brookhaven share is the potential commercialization of the area
south of Sunrise Highway between Bellport and Shirley. The trend
seems to be endless strip malls following Sunrise Highway east from
New York City. Commercial development of this area would be costly
to the Economic Development Zone in Bellport and to the already
devastated J3 area near exit 58 in Shirley. Commercial development
would also put pressure on the State to add a service road on the
south side of Sunrise Highway, which would be totally inappropriate
for the Carmans River area.
We also specifically recommend that the lots to
the east and behind the existing
J2 area along the south side of
Montauk Highway, SCTM# 0200-932-03 lots 14.1, 18.1and 18.2, and
SCTM4 0200-902-04 lots 1,2,3 remain residential.
10. Remove J2 from Wertheim Wildlife Refuge property on
southeast corner of Yaphank Avenue and Montauk Highway.
