The purpose of the public hearing is to  change the zone from A residence 1 to J business 2 to allow for a  greater range of uses at the site. The planned re-development,  officially known as \u201cArtist\u2019s Lake Plaza,\u201d will transform a blighted  parcel into a vibrant community destination with restaurants, shopping,  and numerous recreational amenities.<br \/>\n<span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThis is a very positive  step for this blighted property in Middle Island. Suburban blight has  reached epidemic proportions on Long Island, but the irony is these  blighted properties provide the best opportunity for redevelopment,\u201d  said Supervisor Lesko, \u201cWe have worked hand in hand with the developer  from the very beginning to ensure this site is redeveloped in a way that  makes sense for the community. This is the type of partnership that is  needed to turn blight into light. I look forward to the developers\u2019  presentation on August 17.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an exciting time for the  people who live along the Route 25 corridor, a corridor which was once  forgotten by the town,\u201d stated Councilwoman Connie Kepert. \u201cSupervisor  Lesko and I are committed to transforming an entire corridor, from one  characterized by haphazard strip development to one characterized by  vibrant mixed use pedestrian oriented development. The Breslin  application located on the old K-Mart site is an important step in this  process, and includes shopping, restaurants, ballfields, and pedestrian  promenades. This application will be built with the environment in mind  using energy efficient designs and porous landscaped parking areas,&#8221;  continued Kepert.<\/p>\n<p>After the public hearing, the Town Board must  vote on whether to allow the change of zone. Following the vote, the  applicant submits a site plan to the Planning Board for their review.  Building permits are issued upon approval of the site plan. The owners  of property are Breslin Realty Associates LLC, Colin Realty Co., LLC,  and Poly Jaz Realty LLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As posted on the Town of Brookhaven website: Supervisor Lesko, Councilwoman Kepert, and Town Board Set Public Hearing on Former KMART property in Middle Island Farmingville, NY &#8211; At the Town Board on July 20, 2010, Supervisor Mark Lesko, Councilwoman Connie Kepert, and the Town Board set an August 17 public hearing on the former [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
