An East Hampton Town Board vote on the proposed rezoning of two parcels of land here, at 152 Three Mile Harbor Road and 33 West Drive, to make way for a condominium development of up to 79 units, will not be held Thursday evening, as had been mentioned as a possibility at a town board work session and subsequently in this week's print version of The Star.
According to a statement by Patrick Derenze, the town's public information officer, it appears the proposal is now dead, and there are no plans for further discussion.
"At the Dec. 2, 2025, work session, the town board paused discussion on the request to consider an affordable housing overlay district at 152 Three Mile Harbor Road and 33 West Drive," he wrote. "There was no consensus on the town board to move forward with this petition. As a result, there is no further action or discussion planned."
On Tuesday, it had appeared the petition was headed for rejection, with Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez, Councilwoman Cate Rogers, and Councilman David Lys lining up against it. Before a formal vote could be held, however, Brittany Toledano, the deputy town attorney, tabled the discussion.
The proposal had quickly garnered a lot of public comment, and Ms. Toledano thought a public hearing could be necessary.
Had it passed the board, the two parcels, each over three acres, would have received an affordable housing overlay designation, potentially paving the way for the density required for a condo complex proposed by Kirby Marcantonio, a developer. The complex had a unique structure and would have allowed businesses to buy units that subsequently would be rented to their employees at below market rates.
Mr. Derenze's statement makes it clear the public hearing is not necessary since the measure doesn't have the votes to pass anyway. Board members had apparently decided they had heard enough, what with the heavy public participation at Tuesday's meeting.
