Report: County Considering Buying Detmer Property for Park Purposes

Village Times Herald reports that the land west of the post office on Route 25A could become a park.

The vacant lot that's for sale next to the East Setauket U.S. Post Office on Route 25A may have a future as a park, according to a report published Thursday in The Village Times Herald.

The county legislature unanimously adopted a resolution on Oct. 9 that would "[allow] our division of real estate in the planning department to secure appraisals to see if there's interest with the owners," Suffolk Legis. Kara Hahn, D-Setauket, told The Village Times Herald.

The property is currently for sale by owners Irene Detmer and Alice Halliday, who did not comment, but whom Hahn said have expressed an interest in selling to the county.

As for the possibility of a park, "we were thinking maybe picnic tables, bike racks, some extra parking and a gazebo," Hahn said.

I agree..maybe that is one of the reasons road pavement safety lines and striping esp. in the 3VRead More area are virtually non existent!! VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION that leaves the TOWN OF BROOKHAVEN liable involving accidents and fatalities. I think the new T.O.B. highway super, (D. L.) should make this a priority!

So, essentially that first residential home is being written off as the price of doing business.Read More There goes that property value. Other than as a professional residence, who would want to live by a driveway for that traffic? As for the entrance Village Automotive, that will bring even more traffic to an already busy intersection nearby. 25A is impassable/impossible in that area for large chunks of the day now.

The rezoning is for the acres of undeveloped residential land across from Ann Maries Farm stand,Read More extending down to the wooded area on 25A. A one way entrance would be placed by Village Automotive and a one way exit would come out on N. Country Rd. adjacent to the first residential house.
