S6142 - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S6142

SPONSOR: BOYLE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend chapter 635 of the laws of 1987, establishing 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, 2019.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. 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, and to further require the transfer of the same lands into the

State Nature and Historical Preserve, by December 1, 2019. The bill also
reserves a small parcel for use by the Town of Islip for a town street
or highway.

Section 2. Establishes 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 pinelands
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 OAS to arrange for the transfer to the Preserve "such lands now
comprising Pilgrim State Hospital now or hereafter 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 InterModal
(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 by 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.  Consequently, 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.
