2009-A6156A - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:A6156A

TITLE  OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 635 of the laws of 1987, estab-
lishing the Oak Brush Plain State Preserve, located on Long  Island,  in
relation to the acquisition of lands previously comprising Pilgrim State
Hospital

PURPOSE:    This bill requires the state of New York to transfer certain
lands to the Oak Brush Plains State Preserve by December 1, 2008.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:  Section 1 of the bill amends sections 7 and 8 of
Chapter 635 of the Laws of 1987 by requiring the commissioner of general
services, or any other successor in title, to transfer certain lands now
or formerly within the Pilgrim State Hospital site on Long  Island  into
the  Oak  Brush  Plains  State  Preserve  by, and to further require the
transfer of the same lands into the State Nature and Historical Preserve
by December 1, 2008.

Section 2 establishes the effective date.

EXISTING LAW:  Chapter 635 of the Laws of 1987 established the Oak Brush
Plains State Preserve on Long Island. Section 7 of Chapter 635  required
the office of general services to transfer to the Oak Brush Plains State
Preserve  the  lands comprising the Pilgrim State Hospital that were not
necessary for hospital use and where native foliage could reasonably  be
reestablished.

JUSTIFICATION:    Chapter  635  of  the Laws of 1987 established the Oak
Brush Plains State Preserve on Long Island in the Towns of  Babylon  and
Huntington. The Preserve represented the last vestiges of a transitional
forest between the historical grassy plains of central Nassau County and
the  pine  lands  of  central and eastern Long Island.  Its creation was
recommended in 1984 by the Citizens Task Force on the  Pilgrim  Edgewood
State  Properties.  The  Task  Force also recommended that certain lands
contained within the Pilgrim State Hospital grounds be transferred  into
the  Preserve.  Due  to  this  recommendation,  section 7 of Chapter 635
required.the Commissioner of OGS to arrange  for  the  transfer  to  the
Preserve  "such lands now comprising Pilgrim State Hospital now or here-
after not necessary for use by Pilgrim State Hospital..."

More than twenty years have elapsed since Chapter 635  of  the  Laws  of
1987  was  enacted  and  the  Pilgrim  State  Hospital land has not been
annexed to the Preserve. In recent years,  however,  the  Pilgrim  State
Hospital  land  had  been considered as a possible site for the New York
State Department of  Transportation  to  construct  a  large  commercial
multi-modal  project  known  as the Long Island Truck & Rail Inter Modal
(LITRIM) Facility. The Region 10 Staff of the New York State  Department
of  Transportation dedicated a tremendous amount of time and energy into
the planning of the LITRIM project with the goal of reducing  long  haul
truck  traffic on the roads of Long Island. While the sponsors recognize
and support the need for  the  development  of  alternative  methods  of
freight movement on and off Long Island in order to reduce the burden of

long  haul  trucking  on  the highways of Long Island, the Pilgrim State
Hospital location, due to recent substantial commercial  development  in
the  surrounding areas, is unsuitable for a multi-modal facility. Today,
the area immediately surrounding the land is so vastly different than it
was just a few years ago when the LITRIM project was first proposed. The
recent  approval of three major construction projects b y town officials
has so overburdened this area with traffic  congestion  that  the  State
should not support yet another project that would further exacerbate the
traffic congestion problem in this area. Con sequently, this area should
not  undergo  further  development and the subject land should be trans-
ferred to the Edgewood Preserve as originally called for in  1987,  thus
ensuring more green space and mitigating future traffic congestion.

LEGISLATIVE  HISTORY:    Chapter 635 of the Laws of 1987 established the
Oak Brush Plains Preserve on Long Island in the  Towns  of  Babylon  and
Huntington.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  Minimal transactional costs.

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None

EFFECTIVE DATE:  This act shall take effect immediately
