East Hampton Village Mayor Jerry Larsen introduced a new scaled-back proposal to charge for parking in the Reutershan and Schenck parking lots at a village board meeting last Thursday, and the board discussed plans to provide free Wi-Fi in the commercial district, to allow Tesla, the electric car company, to install charging stations in the small municipal parking lot on Osborne Lane, and to lift bans on drinking alcohol and smoking on village beaches.
The village plans to allow three hours of paid parking in the lots daily between 8 a. Village residents with a beach permit will be able to park for free for three hours, and East Hampton Town residents with town beach permits will be allowed two hours of free parking.
Larsen said he had heard from several residents and business owners with concerns about that element of the plan. The village will also make several free one-hour parking spaces available in both lots, Mr. Larsen said. Parking regulations will be enforced with the use of license-plate reading devices, including ones that will be installed at the entrance and exits of the lots.
Anyone seeking to park for more than three hours would have to leave the lots and re-enter to avoid getting a citation. During his campaign for mayor, Mr. Larsen had taken issue with village laws that prohibit drinking alcohol and smoking on village beaches because they encroached on the East Hampton Town Trustees' authority over the beaches.
On Thursday, he took steps to roll back the bans. According to his proposal, the possession and consumption of alcohol on the beaches would be banned only during times when lifeguards are on the beach, or, for beaches without lifeguard stations, between 9 a. No more than a gallon container of alcohol would be allowed on the beach at any time without a special permit. Smoking a cigarette, pipe, cigar, "or similar smoking substance," and vaping would continue to be prohibited at "any beach pavilion" and in parking lots, but would be allowed at a distance of more than feet from the entrance to the beach, and more than 20 feet from another person.
The new regulations will be submitted to the East Hampton Town Trustees for approval, said Beth Baldwin, the village attorney.
A public hearing on the proposal will be held at the Friday, April 16, board meeting. With the expectation that village beaches will be especially crowded this summer, Mr. Are you feeling hot, hot, hot? Please see below if you want to submit an entry.
