An application with the Town of Brookhaven calls for the construction of 11 two-story apartment buildings on a lot on the northwest corner of Echo Avenue and Sylvan Avenue in Miller Place. The complex on a 3.78-acre site in the Miller Place School District is called Echo Run.
A change of zoning from J Business 2 to MF Residential was requested by the applicant, Landmark Properties of Suffolk, LTD. A 1995 document from Brookhaven Town outlines a nursery or garden center as permitted use for the property at the time.
The property is east of the Miller Place Post Office on Echo Avenue and down the road from Sylvan Park.
The original application made in 2018 estimated the cost of construction at $6.5 million.
Required parking for the 22 units is 88 stalls, four per unit. The proposal calls for 72 parking spots, a variance of 16 stalls or 18.2% from town code.
The decision on the application is still pending as of the August 25, 2022 Brookhaven Town Board Meeting.
