After two stop-work orders were either ignored or slow-rolled earlier this year, the Town of East Hampton is suing The Landings in Montauk, a marina-condo complex located at 408 West Lake Drive, alleging that the complex has exceeded construction-related approvals and committed other violations of the town zoning code.
The rough road near the Rough Riders Landing housing complex in Montauk has a smooth future ahead of it: Last week the East Hampton Town Board approved the issuance of $285,000 in bonds to pay for improvements to Tuthill and Fort Pond Roads.
Richard Whalen, an Amagansett attorney and the founder of the Coalition for Hither Woods, told board members the group will continue to support the town in its efforts to improve Montauk’s environment, but will oppose any encroachment on the hamlet’s parks.
“Our dream is for people to really move up that economic ladder and be able to provide for their families. In Suffolk County, it takes a lot to meet those standards,” said Lukas Weinstein, a social worker who serves on the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center’s community advisory board and helps in the Teach Me How to Fish program. Through that program, a job fair in the construction trades is planned for Wednesday night.
