A proposal from AT&T to build a freestanding 50-foot-high structure at St. Peter’s Chapel on Old Stone Highway in Springs, to house cellphone antennas and associated equipment, was discussed at a meeting of the East Hampton Town Planning Board.
An attorney who had threatened to sue the Town of East Hampton over its allowing the East Hampton Library’s Authors Night benefit to be held on an Amagansett field purchased with community preservation fund money, said yesterday that he has reached an agreement with the town, under which officials will adopt a “suitable” management plan for the 19-acre site, popularly known as 555 Montauk Highway, by the end of this year.
The driver thought he had hit a deer, but when he got out of his car on East Lake Drive in Montauk on Saturday night he was shocked to see a man in the grass on the side of the road.
A harmful blue-green algal, or cyanobacteria, bloom continues to affect Fort Pond, according Concerned Citizens of Montauk's water testing results for the week of July 29. While toxin levels remain low, C.C.O.M. has again urged people to avoid contact with the water until further notice.
Those who do come in contact with the water are advised to rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention if they experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; skin, eye, or throat irritation, or allergic reactions or breathing difficulties after contact.
