Readers Write: Questions for committee

The Island Now

Dear Donald Badaczewski — Secretary of the Waterfront Committee for the Village of Manorhaven,
In order to comply with Chairman Guy LaMotta’s suggestion to break the waterfront discussion into individual parcels, and knowing that public comment is not allowed during your meetings — therefore, I respectfully request that there be a large map of the waterfront showing the current zoning with full definitions available for review at every meeting of the Waterfront Committee, so that the committee themselves and the public can be fully informed.
In particular, there are several parcels currently designated Marine and GI and G2 — government use.  What does that mean?
How much public access does that allow, as of right, at this time under this current zoning?  
Does this allow for public walkways anywhere along the waterfront?
I request that there be a full discussion of these current zoning definitions, especially with respect to the 11-acre undeveloped Thypin property, during your next meeting of the Waterfront Committee on Wednesday Oct.19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Manorhaven Village Hall, which is open to the public for observation only.
