RECAP: Board advances EPCAL subdivision, honors Heidi Behr

liveblog

The Riverhead Town Board on Tuesday unanimously voted on a resolution to authorize the board to adopt its development plans for the Enterprise Park at Calverton.

The plans include a proposed 50-lot subdivision map, marketing study and new zoning recommendations, all of which are being developed through a $500,000 contract the town signed with VHB Engineering two years ago.

The resolution will effectively start the state environmental impact study of the subdivision map, a process that’s expected to take more than a year to complete.

The board also approved a resolution to name a road that runs along the Peconic River from Peconic Avenue to McDermott Avenue downtown in honor of Heidi Behr, a Riverhead ambulance volunteer who died in a May 2005 ambulance crash while helping a heart attack patient in an ambulance.

Board members also heard some opposition to a proposal to put restrictions on houseboats in town, and adopted increased fees for the Riverhead Water District.
