Owners of the third-largest commercial building in East Hampton Town, the Home Sweet Home warehouse in Wainscott, want to convert it into a self-storage facility, but town planners want to see a smaller building with more space for parking, among other things.
A puzzle of an application involving two adjacent parcels, a bunch of portable restrooms, access to them, and a house in a commercial neighborhood came before the East Hampton Town Planning Board this month. The immediate issue is that the house, even though it is on a commercially zoned lot, is the parcel’s only legal use (though it pre-exists town zoning and is classed as nonconforming).
The East Hampton Town Trustees voted on Monday to allocate $83,160 for the 2023 water quality and bottomlands assessment of waters under their jurisdiction.
The East Hampton Town litter action committee will launch a monthlong No Fling Spring initiative on Earth Day with a cleanup of Springs-Fireplace Road. Beach cleanups and a No Fling Spring Fling dance party in May are also on the agenda.
