Stop Rechler’s Massive Overdevelopment — Protect Our Community

Rechler Equity Partners is pushing a massive 890-unit housing project on the former Island Hills Golf Course. The plan includes:

• 314 age-restricted for-sale units (only 143 are detached single-family homes)

• 576 apartments, with 173 of those age-restricted

• A private sewage treatment plant

• 50+ acres of pavement and buildings up to 3 stories tall

They claim it’s “scaled back,” citing a 35% reduction from their original plan — but that’s still a 908% increase in density compared to current zoning.

Despite their spin, traffic congestion will explode, with estimates showing a 348% to 408% increase over what would result from building just 98 single-family homes under current zoning.

The buildings will tower over the neighborhood — three stories tall with multiple units — completely out of character with our community.

Rechler has already submitted an change of zone application and we are waiting for a town meeting for the next steps. They’ve rebranded this plan as “South Bay Village” to distance it from the failed “Sayville Greybarn,” but make no mistake — it’s the same oversized, urban-style complex that doesn’t belong here.

The Island Hills Advisory Committee report has been twisted — with summaries more favorable than the full record reflects. They invited so-called “community leaders” from as far as Nassau County to voice support, and blurred the line between personal opinion and organizational endorsements, to sow division.

But we’re not falling for it.

We stand united — and we demand a real compromise:
Single-family homes and green space only.
No zone change. No concrete jungle. No South Bay Village.

Join us. Spread the word. Speak out. Together, we can stop this.
