Developments Have a Supporter, and Many Opponents As for the Water Mill project many in the hamlet had always hoped that someday, the LIRR train station would be reopened for service. However, Suskind has reportedly stated that the MTA has assured him they have no immediate or long range plans to do that. While Suskind intends to utilize the existing structure in his plans, many feel there is no need for further commercial space in Water Mill. This is a clear difference of opinion on where and how that area and space should be used. According to one knowledgable source in the real estate community, Suskind is the “anti-CPF.” That is, taking historical sites and stripping them down to a commercial use. Others argue that he has the right to develop his property that is legally zoned for commercial use. Despite pros and cons, Suskind is marching forward without concerns of ruffling feathers in the community. He reportedly feels that this project, S. Galardi
By T.J. Clemente The colorful Dennis Suskind, a former Town of Southampton Councilman, is in the headlines again — this time over his proposal to create over 23,258 square feet of commercial space on the parcel of land he owns that centers on the historic Water Mill railroad station. Suskind’s previous plans to develop this property have not been met with open arms in the community. Complaints about an already congested Water Mill traffic situation only to be made worse for the “strip mall” to be created behind the Citarella have been pronounced. In the last year Suskind made news when he purchased the Sag Harbor Methodist Church for over $2 million, to be his private home — or so he said at the time. Other grass-roots groups were hoping to save the landmark church for more community oriented work after the church itself voted to sell the valuable asset and relocate to the Sag Turnpike. However, recent reports and rumors reveal Suskind having a change of heart. The 1837 church is now on the market for $3.45 million, an exclusive of the Strough Associates through Scott Strough. According to the description on the website, “With its current residential zoning, the property is being offered with possible conversion opportunities. The building is approximately 9000 sq. ft. sited on .46 acre.”
on 50 Station Road in Water Mill, is in good taste and is well designed by Bridgehampton LLC, a development company owned by Suskind and builder William Koral. The plans call for construction of a six-building development on the two-acre site that would feature tasteful two-story buildings made with brick facades and shingle roofs. The plan recommends dividing the space between offices and rental space. At issue is the amount of the parking to be allowed, with numbers as low as 60 and as high as 130. With the Water Mill recreational facilities off of Nowendonah, nearby local residents see dangers, inconveniences and duplicity in what they deem as an unneeded development. Suskind disagrees, reportedly saying the traffic added by the venture will be minimal. But any drive through Water Mill on weekends (continued on the next page)
