The Suffolk County Health Department announced a further expansion of its private well survey in the vicinity of the East Hampton Airport on Friday. The survey began last year following the detection of perfluorinated chemicals in a private well in the survey area.

Residents whose property is served by a private well in the area bounded by Merchants Path to the north, Wainscott Harbor Road continuing on to Wainscott Hollow Road on the west, Georgica Pond to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south will be contacted directly by the Health Department. Residents can also contact the county's Office of Water Resources directly at 631-852-5810 to have their wells tested free of charge.

The announcement follows the East Hampton Town Board's move last week to create a water supply district in Wainscott, a prerequisite to the Suffolk County Water Authority's extension of water mains and service lines to connect to residential and commercial properties. The estimated $24.3 million project is expected to begin by August and be completed by year's end.

The town will issue bonds to pay for the cost of the project. The Water Authority and the town are jointly pursuing an inter-municipal application, through the State Environmental Facilities Corporation, for a grant of up to $10 million to offset the cost.

Creation of a water supply district closely followed the town board's declaration of an emergency in order to direct money to residents whose wells are contaminated. The money will come in the form of rebates of up to 90 percent of the cost of a point-of-entry water treatment system, to a maximum of $3,000, as an interim measure pending connection to public water. 

The compounds, known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAs, are currently unregulated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The E.P.A., however, has identified two of these substances, PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), as contaminants of emerging concern. It has issued a lifetime health advisory level of .07 parts per billion in order to protect the most sensitive populations, including fetuses during pregnancy and breastfed babies, against potential adverse health effects. 

PFAs have been used in a number of industrial and commercial products such firefighting foam, as well as coatings that repel water, oil, stains and grease. Thus, people may be exposed to PFOS and PFOA through air, water, or soil from industrial sources and from consumer products. 

Since the discovery of perfluorinated chemicals in wells, the town has made bottled water available free of charge to residents in the survey area who use a private well. 

Residents connected to a public water supply do not need to have their water tested as these supplies are routinely tested. PFOS and PFOA have not been detected in the public drinking water supply wells serving the area.

Residents with general questions about health effects of PFAs have been advised to call the State Health Department at 518-402-7950 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Residents who are unsure if they are served by public water can call the Water Authority at 631-698-9500.

Update, 11:50 p.m.: Late Saturday evening, East Hampton Town police released the names of the people aboard the small plane that crashed off Amagansett Saturday afternoon. 

Bernard (Ben) Krupinski, an East Hampton custom home builder, his wife, Bonnie Bistrian Krupinski, and their grandson, William Maerov, 22, were passengers aboard the twin-engine Piper PA-31 Navajo, police said. Jon Dollard, 47, of Hampton Bays was identified as the pilot.

Mr. and Ms. Krupinski, both 70, were the owners of three East Hampton restaurants — the 1770 House, Cittanuova, and East Hampton Point — and, along with her family, of the East Hampton Golf Club. They were also well-known community supporters and philanthropists. 

Two of the bodies were recovered, while the other two are still missing. Town Police Capt. Chris Anderson said in a statement that police were withholding information on whose bodies had been found until confirmation from the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's office. 

The plane, owned by Mr. Krupinski, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean at 2:54 p.m. With four people aboard, the plane lost communication with the East Hampton Airport control tower and then failed to land at the airport. 

Private fishing vessels, the United States Coast Guard, and East Hampton Town Marine Patrol units joined in a search and located a debris field about 1.5 miles south of Amagansett's Indian Wells Beach a short time later, police said.

Captain Anderson said the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash. "Extreme weather was reported in the East Hampton area at the time of the crash," he said in the statement. 

Town police and the Coast Guard have temporarily suspended the search for the aircraft and the missing bodies until daybreak, police said late Saturday night. 

Update, 9:30 p.m.: The search for two missing people from a plane crash off the Amagansett shoreline Saturday afternoon will continue into the night, weather permitting, a United States Coast Guard spokesman said Saturday evening. 

There were four people onboard a Piper PA-31 Navajo aircraft that lost communication with East Hampton Airport around 2:50 p.m. Debris was found about a mile off Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett, and two bodies were recovered earlier in the evening. 

Despite published reports, police and Coast Guard officials have not released the names of any of the victims. 

"Most of the units have stopped their search at sunset, including four divers from the East Hampton Town Police Department," Coast Guard Petty Officer Frank Iannazzo-Simmons said Saturday evening. Two Coast Guard cutters will continue to search throughout the night, depending on the weather.

There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms overnight, and a small-craft advisory may go into effect, he said.

The Coast Guard is planning to send an HC-144 aircraft from Coast Guard Station Cape Cod "to conduct a first-light search," as long as the weather cooperates Sunday morning, Officer Iannazzo-Simmons said. 

East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo said that while the Coast Guard continues the search with its larger vessels throughout the night, a "full-scale operation will resume at daybreak."

Update, 5:10 p.m.: East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo said that a small plane lost contact with East Hampton Airport about one mile south of the airport Saturday afternoon.

Private boats located a debris field off Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett soon after. 

The United States Coast Guard identified the plane as a Piper PA-31 Navajo aircraft traveling with four people on board. Their names were not released.

The Coast Guard reported that one person was recovered from the plane and a search was on for three missing people. 

Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound received a call at approximately 2:50 p.m. reporting that a small plane had crashed about a mile off Indian Wells Beach.

Sector Long Island Sound issued an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast notice to mariners, requesting boats in the area to keep a sharp lookout for the crashed plane and any survivors.

A rescue and recovery effort is underway with police, the Coast Guard, and the Air National Guard participating, the police chief said.

The Coast Guard responded with Coast Guard cutters and a Sikorsky MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Air Station Cape Cod.

Coast Guard rescue crews are on scene conducting searches for survivors along with local agencies, fishing vessels, and shore units.

Anyone with information has been encouraged to contact the Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound command center at 203-468-4401 or on the radio at VHF-FM marine radio channel 16.

Originally, 3:56 p.m.: A plane crashed into the water off Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett Saturday afternoon.

East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo would confirm only that a plane had crashed and that police had set up a command post at Indian Wells Beach. 

East Hampton Airport reportedly lost communication with a small aircraft around 3 p.m. A debris field was found in the ocean off of Indian Wells Beach. 

The United States Coast Guard, the East Hampton Town police dive team, and the East Hampton Ocean Rescue Squad all were responding.

The Long Island Community Foundation has given Concerned Citizens of Montauk $20,000 to help fund its work to improve the hamlet’s water quality. 

The grant is the second the foundation has awarded C.C.O.M. in two years. Last year, the $20,000 grant helped advance C.C.O.M.’s Save the Lake-Save the Pond initiative, which engages property owners in a coordinated effort to reduce the human causes of water pollution. 

Wednesday’s statement about the grant followed C.C.O.M.’s May 14 announcement of a partnership with Christopher Gobler of Stony Brook University under which Dr. Gobler’s lab will analyze water from Fort Pond in order to monitor harmful algal blooms, which appeared in 2015 and last year. Concurrently, the East Hampton Town Board is moving toward the creation of a wastewater treatment system, and a tax district to fund it, for the hamlet’s densely developed downtown, based on the belief that excessive nitrogen is causing the pond’s ecological woes.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Long Island Community Foundation,” Laura Tooman, C.C.O.M’s president, said in a statement last week. “L.I.C.F.’s funding helps make all that we do to protect Montauk’s environment possible. From our Save the Lake-Save the Pond educational initiative, to our latest partnerships to test and monitor for harmful pollutants and algal blooms in Fort Pond and Lake Montauk, this grant makes a huge difference.”

Kate Rossi-Snook, a C.C.O.M. environmental advocate, said the Save the Lake-Save the Pond initiative’s primary objective “is to get people to understand that everything they do on their properties has an effect, whether immediate or long term, on our waters.” 

In 2017, C.C.O.M. sponsored 170 septic system inspections and pump-outs. This year, Ms. Rossi-Snook said in a statement, “We will continue to encourage all Montauk residents and business owners who haven’t gotten their septics pumped in the last three years to do so, and to begin the process of upgrading their systems.” She said residents could follow incentives provided by the Town of East Hampton and Suffolk County, “and should visit our newly redesigned website to sign our Clean Water Steward pledge.” The Clean Water pledge can be found at SavetheLakeSavethePond.org. 

Southampton Town has struck a deal with Jay Bialsky, a real estate developer, to purchase more than 1.25 acres of waterfront property in Sag Harbor Village's business district for $10.5 million. The deal, which is not yet in contract, according a lawyer for the town, could clear the way for the creation of the proposed John Steinbeck Waterfront Park.

"We are absolutely thrilled beyond words," Mayor Sandra Schroeder said in a statement detailing the purchase, which will be made using money from the town's community preservation fund. "This acquisition will transform the last remaining open space on the harbor into a world-class park."

The parcels of land that the town is planning to acquire on the village's behalf include 1, 3, and 5 Ferry Road, on the Sag Harbor side of the bridge that leads to North Haven. For more than a decade, the lots have been blighted with abandoned buildings, including the defunct Harborview Professional Building.

Earlier this year, Mr. Bialsky had purchased the properties as well as 2 West Water Street, better known as the 1-800-Lawyer residence, from Greystone Property Development, a Manhattan real estate company.

In an appearance before the town board in 2015, a development manager from Greystone made it clear that the company was planning to use all of the land to build condominiums and was adamantly opposed to selling any of it to the town. More recently, the company had neared an agreement to sell the Ferry Road parcels to the town, but ultimately sold them to Mr. Bialsky.

Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Mr. Bialsky met on April 30 to discuss the possibility of a sale. Later that week, Mr. Schneiderman said that the talks had gone well, but that no deal was in place.

Last week, the Southampton Town Board authorized the use of community preservation fund money to buy the property and a deal was struck soon after.

"We are very, very pleased that Mr. Bialsky has accepted our offer for the Ferry Road property," said Mr. Schneiderman, who added that building a park instead of a condo complex would play a vital role in preserving Sag Harbor's historic character.

As proposed by the village, the Steinbeck park will be linked by land and water to Windmill Park and Long Wharf and will feature a beach area, a fishing and small boat pier, and a pedestrian walkway.

Mr. Bialsky will retain under an acre of land at 2 West Water Street, which he plans to develop into three townhouse residences with boat slips.

An Amber Alert issued Friday morning, with no information other than to check local media, had many Long Islanders thinking there must have been a child abduction close to home. 

However, the Amber Alert was for a missing child in Sodus, N.Y., near Lake Ontario, 400 miles away. 

On Friday morning, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department issued the Amber Alert for Owen Hidalgo-Calderon, a 14-month-old last seen on May 16. The body of his mother, Selena Hidalgo-Calderon, was found in a bag in an apple orchard upstate on Thursday, according to the Democrat & Chronicle of Rochester, leading to an intensified search for her son.

Her boyfriend allegedly admitted to removing her body from their home, reports said. He has not said what became of her son. 

According to the alert, Owen was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that he is in imminent danger of serious physical harm or death. 

Owen is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes. He is about 2 feet tall and weighs about 30 pounds. He needs his asthma medication.

Anyone with information on this abduction has been asked to call 866-NYS-AMBER or dial 911.

Taking a stand against the Trump administration’s plan to allow offshore oil and gas exploration and drilling in New York’s coastal waters, the East Hampton Village Board unanimously adopted a resolution on Friday supporting the state’s application for an exemption from the National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, which was introduced in January by Ryan Zinke, the secretary of the interior. 

“It is not in the best interest of Long Island to allow for drilling offshore in search of fossil fuel,” Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. said this week. “Our ecosystem is too fragile, and we already worry about island-wide water quality.”

The resolution was one of a series of environmental concerns at the meeting, including littering, Georgica Pond, and the restoration of a scenic easement near Main Street. 

Littering was the focus as the board held a public hearing and ultimately adopted a proposed law to allow retail stores to prepare and serve takeout food and beverages. The law makes explicit that takeout food stores must be equipped with an adequate number of waste receptacles that are regularly emptied by store personnel. Richard Lawler, a board member, underscored that provision. 

 Jodi Giglio, acting as a representative for Robert Pollifrone, the owner of the Buoy One seafood market on Race Lane, who wants to open a Hamptons Coffee Company branch in a space next to his shop, strongly supported the law, as did Lisa Blinderman, the owner of the Second Nature market, which plans to start preparing fresh juices and smoothies.  

Georgica Pond was on the agenda as the board gave the Friends of Georgica Pond Foundation, an organization working to restore the health of the pond, permission to occasionally deposit algae and other plant material it removes from the pond onto village property at the end of Cove Hollow Road. 

The village also passed a resolution related to a nearly six-year effort to restore a scenic easement at 105 Main Street, where John and Suzanne Cartier have a house. In 2010, the Cartiers sought to relocate and reconfigure their house and build a second one on the two-acre site. They received permission to do so from the zoning board in 2012, but the village board sued, arguing that a scenic easement granted to the village when the property was subdivided in 1975 did not permit a second house. An agreement between the village and the Cartiers has now been reached. 

Becky Molinaro Hansen, the village administrator, explained that the agreement allows a second house to be built as long as the scenic easement is restored. “The resolution approved Friday gives an extension to the Cartiers to move structures that were in a conservation easement,” said Ms. Hansen on Monday. “The extension was granted due to weather conditions that impeded timely completion of the work.”

In other business, the board accepted a bid from Keith Grimes for demolishing a house at 8 Osborne Lane; the site is to become a parking lot. Ms. Hansen said the work would be completed some time after the summer. The board also scheduled a public hearing on the village’s 2018-2019 budget for June 7. 

At the end of the meeting, John Geehreng, the commander of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post, asked for approval to install a memorial on North Main Street honoring William Patrick Flynn, an Army private first class, who was “East Hampton’s only fallen hero from the Vietnam War.” The memorial is to be a rock with a plaque commemorating Mr. Flynn, who died in combat on May 28, 1968, at the age of 20. 

Highlighting the significance of the location, Mr. Geehreng said Mr. Flynn, who was known as Pat, had lived at 144 North Main Street when he was growing up.

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that a bid was accepted from South Fork Asphalt to extend the sidewalk on the west side of Toilsome Lane, connecting it to an existing wheelchair ramp opposite Meadow Way. A resolution to that effect was on the agenda for that meeting, but it was not voted on. 

In 1931, the members of the Edwin C. Halsey American Legion Post 700 organized Memorial Day ceremonies for East Hampton for the first time in a number of years. Legion members gathered and broke into delegations to decorate 15 veterans’ graves in Green River Cemetery, Oak Lawn Cemetery, Cedar Lawn Cemetery, and the similarly named South End Cemetery and South Cemetery. 

The graves, for the most part of World War I veterans, were adorned with flowers and a flag. In each of the five cemeteries, a bugler played “Taps,” and a firing squad offered a ceremonial volley. This was all completed in two hours, allowing legion members to reassemble on the Village Green by 11 a.m. for a parade through town. 

Item of the Week

From the East Hampton Library Long Island Collection

Joining the legion on the march were Boy Scouts, who debuted a fife and drum corps, the Fire Department, and members of the Coast Guard, which still operated lifesaving stations here in 1931. Today, East Hampton's Memorial Day parade continues along a similar route.

Following the parade, a series of speeches were given at Memorial Green, near present-day Methodist Lane and the North End Cemetery. Three lawyers who practiced on the South Fork, William A. Lockwood, Harry G. Stephens, and Major J. V. Bouvier, gave “stirring addresses,” according to The Star. No opinions were offered on the words of F. Raymond Dominy of the American Legion, but The Star included an image of him speaking in front of fidgeting Boy Scouts seated on the Memorial Green.

The staff of the East Hampton Library’s Long Island Collection has reminded the community that it is a valuable resource for anyone looking to locate and decorate gravesites of local veterans. The collection has many index materials regarding burials in East Hampton cemeteries, and the staff would be happy to assist in every effort to honor the sacrifices of family and friends.

In case you didn’t know it, there’s a fully functional structure in Water Mill that dates to about 130 years before the nation was founded. It’s the one on Mill Pond with the gently spinning wheel off one wall, catching water from babbling Mill Creek to power aged gears.

Step inside and the wood turning and straining in support of a rotating grindstone is as noisy as a whaling ship in a gale-force blow. And standing amid the symphony of creaks over the weekend was one Ricky Muller, the master carpenter who has been tending to the untold board feet of rough-hewn wood for the better part of 17 years. 

He just finished up his latest project at the Water Mill Museum, a restoration of the wall facing the sidewalk that runs along Old Mill Road. Walking over to a long tiller-like lever sticking out of the floor, he dropped the gate to stop the flow of water into the mill so he could talk. It’s something he does regularly when he’s at work simply so he can think.

“That sidewalk wall was a total redo,” he said. “We moved displays, numbered boards, took pictures, uncovered the entire inside, and took off the shingles and sheathing outside. Then you’re able to see the damage and replace what you need to.” 

He mapped out the wall, sketched it, and determined what was original, something he’s done over the years for the building’s other three walls, too. “There’s never really been a restoration here, just repairs,” he said.

“We find white oak trees that are the right dimensions.” At the top of the wall, and elsewhere in the mill, bark is visible on the logs used, and the edges are rounded. “Back then they went and got a tree just big enough to accomplish the job,” no wasted wood. Knee braces supporting the main timbers will follow the shape of the source wood’s branch, for example. “That work is done by hand. I’ll finish it off with a chisel just like they did back then.”

That “we” he mentioned earlier refers to a couple of Water Mill carpenters who have helped him on the project, Ed Hurley and Ray Sachtleben. Mr. Muller, who lives in East Hampton now, is a son of the hamlet, and the son, literally, of one of its most prominent citizens, Arthur Muller, now 96, who was the postmaster from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s. Not only was the post office once in that very building, upstairs is a display devoted to its history.

And downstairs, an exhibition titled “If These Walls Could Talk,” detailing Mr. Muller’s restoration work, will open this weekend along with the museum’s season. This year’s members art show will also be on view, with a reception set for June 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Admission is by donation.

Bernard Berger, a dermatologist who was at the forefront of scientific efforts to pinpoint the causes of Lyme disease, announced that after nearly 50 years of tending to the skin care of East End residents, he would be closing his Southampton practice on June 30. 

“When I opened my practice in 1971, with my pregnant wife serving as secretary and nurse, I was the only dermatologist on the South Fork,” wrote Dr. Berger in a letter announcing his retirement. Early on in his career, he dabbled in hair transplants and dermabrasion, he said, but his main focus has been treating skin ailments ranging from psoriasis to cancer. 

  Thinking back on the early study of Lyme disease, Dr. Berger recalled the feeling of camaraderie among researchers as well as fierce competition for grant money. He also expressed gratitude to his patients for contributing to his studies. “I took blood and skin samples from several hundred of them,” he said. “They were so cooperative and brave.”

Dr. Berger, who lives in East Hampton, plans to stay active with sports (including sculling) and continue reading medical journals during his retirement.

A proposal for a tennis court on West End Road in East Hampton Village — and the inevitable noise that would emanate from it — has rankled the would-be developer of an adjacent parcel on Georgica Cove. 

“The best word I can come up with is it would be devastating,” Bruce Lifton said Friday of Edward Conard’s plan for the court at 30 West End Road. 

Mr. Lifton owns a neighboring 1.6-acre parcel at 26 West End Road. 

Mr. Conard, a former managing director at Bain Capital and author of the best sellers “The Upside of Inequality: How Good Intentions Undermine the Middle Class” and “Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You’ve Been Told About the Economy Is Wrong,” bought the 1.1-acre lot at 30 West End Road from Mr. Lifton in 2016 for $12 million. 

Both properties were part of a block of four that once belonged to Courtney Ross. The music and film mogul David Geffen bought all four in 2014 and sold them two years later to Mr. Lifton, who sold the vacant lots at 20 and 24 West End Road to another buyer for a total of $24 million.

On Mr. Conard’s narrow parcel, a pre-existing nonconforming house dating to the 1920s — once Ms. Ross’s guest house — is situated just 1.3 feet from the western property line. As proposed, a portion of the tennis court would fall within the front and side-yard setbacks on what is a comparatively small lot in the neighborhood. 

Next door, Mr. Lifton has demolished the original house at 26 West End Road and intends to develop the now-vacant property, which is on the market for $23.5 million.

Because the village’s zoning code requires any new structure to be at least 150 feet from wetlands, a new house at Mr. Lifton’s property would be directly adjacent to the proposed tennis court at #30, a fact that both Mr. Lifton and his attorney, Michael Walsh, emphasized to the board. 

“I’m short on words because I stand here before you scared,” Mr. Lifton said during the zoning board hearing on the application Friday. If Mr. Conard’s plans are allowed to proceed, “anywhere I build my home, I’m next to a tennis court. It totally sucks the enjoyment . . . out of my property.” 

“I stand here before you shaking,” said Mr. Lifton. “I’ll be the guy next to the tennis court. . . . I beg you to deny this.” 

Mr. Conard has offered mitigation in the form of a sound-attenuating fence around the court that would likely be camouflaged by vegetation, an upgrade to the property’s sanitary system, and removal of the septic system and half-bathroom from a children’s playhouse on the property.

His attorney, Leonard Ackerman, submitted a study of the neighborhood showing that several properties in the immediate vicinity feature tennis courts, and a separate report pertaining to noise. The variance relief requested is minial, he said, and the tennis court would be 900 square feet smaller than the standard 7,200 square feet.

But the neighborhood study undercut, rather than supported, an argument for variance relief, said Lys Marigold, the zoning board’s vice chairwoman, “because it shows how much, much, much, much smaller the property is versus the other ones” that feature a tennis court. And those courts, “to our knowledge, didn’t require variances,” said Frank Newbold, the board’s chairman. 

“You have a very small, narrow piece of property,” Ms. Marigold said. “You basically are going to walk outside the house and fall into the tennis court.” 

Is that a ground for denying the application? Mr. Ackerman asked. “To Lys’s point,” Mr. Newbold said, “sometimes a lot is, maybe, too small for a tennis court.” 

“You were told that the character of the neighborhood is large lots, and that there are a number of tennis courts in the neighborhood, and that because of that fact, this one-acre lot has sufficient area” for a court, Mr. Walsh said. In fact, he said, of the 22 waterfront lots in the neighborhood, the only one on the Georgica Cove side of West End Road with a tennis court is four times larger than 30 West End Road, and the other lots with tennis courts are two and a half acres or larger. “The fact of the matter is, this is one of the two smallest lots in the entire neighborhood,” he said. 

Mr. Conard also owns an adjacent two-acre property at 36 West End Road, west of #30, which he purchased in 2002.

Mr. Walsh presented a composite map of Mr. Conard’s adjoining lots. “The first observation that we made was that 100 percent of that tennis court is located in the principal building envelope on this one-acre lot,” he said. “The only reason this tennis court can be sited on this lot at all is because of the gross nonconformity of the house,” he added, pointing to its proximity to the western property line. “But for that nonconformity, there is zero location on this lot for a tennis court, none whatsoever.” To site the court in its proposed location, “you’re creating a much greater nonconformity.”

Further, he said, Mr. Ackerman’s report on noise did not address the real issue. “A tennis court has three noises,” he said. “The thwock of a ball being hit by a racket,” often at an elevation greater than the height of the proposed sound-attenuating fence; “the bounce of the tennis ball on the court. . . . And then you have the noise of the players . . . it’s called a ‘tennis grunt.’ ” The report, he insisted, “really tells us nothing apropos of tennis.”

There is sufficient space on Mr. Conard’s larger, adjoining property for a tennis court that would not require variance relief, Mr. Walsh said, as well as a thick hedge and a thick row of trees or bushes that would minimize noise impacts on the adjoining property to the west. The village’s zoning code “compels a denial of this application,” he said. 

The hearing was left open and is scheduled to resume at the board’s next meeting, on June 8. 

In other news, the board announced seven determinations at Friday’s meeting. The board approved Maidstone Club’s application for a special permit and variances to build a 676-square-foot warming hut for its paddleball courts, legalize two storage sheds, and permit 100,000 square feet more of lot coverage than is legally pre-existing at 50 Old Beach Lane. The approval was conditioned on the placement of shields on the courts’ exterior lighting in compliance with a design review board determination. 

The board granted Jonathan Schulhof and Kimberly Kravis variances to legalize a generator and air-conditioning condenser within the front-yard setback at 101 Georgica Close Road. 

The Ann Tiernan Article XI Trust was granted variances allowing reconstruction with alterations of a swimming pool and pool house at 15 Gould Street. The pool falls within side and rear-yard setbacks, and the pool house is one foot taller than the maximum permitted for accessory structures. 

The board granted George and Lauren Dempsey variances to permit construction of a swimming pool that will result in 3,046 square feet of lot coverage at 7 Church Street, where 2,500 square feet is permitted under current code and the pre-existing coverage is 2,669 square feet.

Lawrence and Leslie Hillel were granted variances to permit 2,275 square feet of coverage to accommodate a shed and terrace, where the maximum permitted lot coverage at 1 Palma Terrace is 1,963 square feet, and for the shed to fall within the side-yard setback. Mr. Hillel, a member of the board, had recused himself from the hearing. 

William and Tracy Grathwohl were granted variances to construct additions to a pre-existing, nonconforming detached garage in the front yard at 67 Georgica Close Road, and to legalize an arbor. The garage will be larger and taller than is permitted by code, and the arbor falls within the required side-yard setback. The board attached the conditions that a half-bathroom will be removed, a stairway to the second floor will be replaced with a pull-down ladder, that there will be no second floor in the proposed additions to the garage, and that it is maintained only as attic storage space. 

The board granted Jamie Coy Wallace a variance to permit construction of an addition, a swimming pool, decking, and a detached garage resulting in approximately 500 square feet of lot coverage beyond what is permitted at 56 Mill Hill Lane.
