We wanted to provide you with an update on the events that happened during the January 18th hearing on Jellyfish, at the Town of Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Despite following all prescribed procedures necessary to even have the meeting, the meeting took an unexpected turn when Chairman Asher announced that the Jellyfish application was deemed a "pre-application" This sudden and inexplicable change caused confusion and disappointment. The ZBA Chair then refused to let residents speak. Only our legal representatives were permitted to address the meeting.
As this has been a challenging experience, we are navigating through various options and remedies, including the previously scheduled Article 78 proceeding in New York State Supreme Court. We will keep you informed as developments unfold. If you haven already, you can watch the January 18th meeting on the Town website; follow these steps: https;//huntingtonny.gov/meetings. In the section "Meetings Video on Demand" - select the video for the Jan. 18th ZBA meeting.
Please note that Jellyfish item was placed last on the agenda, so you can fast forward to approximately 1 hour and 8 minutes to catch the beginning of the Jellyfish discussion.
