Telephones 489 SOM January 6, 1987 Mr. William Catacosinos, Chairman Long Island Lighting Company 175 East Old Country Road Hicksville, New York 11801
Dear Mr. Catacosinos,
The Town Board of Hempstead has learned from press reports, statements of members of the public before the Board, and a review of pertinent portions of Revision 8 of LILCO'S emergency plan for the Shoreham nuclear power plant that LILCO is representing its property located at 2400 Sunrise Highway, Bellmore, to be a " reception center."
We understand that this " reception center" includes structures, facilities and services necessary to proce'ss tens of thousands of evacuees arriving in vehicles for monitoring for radiation and possibly for decontamination, as well as ancillary facilities and services for these persons.
To date, the subject property has been used by LILCO as an operations center in support of its supply of electrical power to Long Island residents and businesses.
It is our understanding that LILCO is continuing to use the property'as an operations, center, but that, in addition, LILCO claims the property for a new and expanded use as a " reception center."
We are taking this initiative to write in order to prevent any misunderstanding as to the use of the subject property.
As of today, the subject property located at l
2400 Sunrise Highway, Bellmore, is zoned Part Business /Part l
Residence B.
This classification permits the property i
to be used as it has been, as an operations center.

2400 Sunrise Highway Bellmore, New York 11710 The present zoning does not permit the property to be used in a new and expanded way as a " reception center."
Accordingly, any representation by LILCO of the subject property as being a " reception center" or as permitting the new and expanded use described in LILCO'S Revision 8 of its emergency plan is contrary to the present zoning classification.
Any attempt by LILCO to use the Bellzure facility in this manner would violate local zoning laws.
Sincerely,

JOHN C.KIERNAN SUPE %ve:oa Appendix C Orrect or THE Suptavison TOWN or NORTH HEMPSTEAD TOWN HALL. MANHASSET. N Y llo30 na, o vsess es,oseo December 11, 1986 i
Honorable Administrative Judges Hon. John Frye, III, Chairman Atomic Safety and Licensing Board United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555 Honorable Administrative Judges:
Please be advised that the Town of North Hempstead objects to the designation and proposed use of the Long Island Lighting Company's (hereinaf ter called LILCO) facility at Willis Avenue and the south service road of the Long Island Expressway in Roslyn as a reception and decontamination center as part of an evacuation plan in the event of a radiological accident at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.
Under no circumstances should this facility be approved or designated as an evacuation center.
Indeed, we believe that the traffic problems, environmental dangers, the size of the facility itself and local zoning laws render such a proposed use illegal and inappropriate.
The property was acquired by LILCO on March 17, 1923.
Since that time, the property has been used only for the normal business operations of LILCO--general operations yard, office building and substation.
From time to time, f rom the 1920's to the 1950's there was also a farm stand operated on part of the property.
It has never been used for anything approaching an evacuation center in the event of a radiological accident.
Such a use is not an ordinary use by a public utility and is not a permitted use under the zoning code of the Town of North Hempstead.
The property was rezoned by the Town on August 16, 1955, from Residence C to Business A.
Although LILCO has not submitted any applications to the Town for a zoning code change or variance or any detailed plans for the proposed evacuation and reception center, the Town has reviewed a drawing indicating how the site would be used.
LILCO
Administrative Judges December.ll, 1986 Page Two proposes to store equipment and decontamination trailers in the northeast corner of the property.
The storage of such trailers is not a permitted use under the Business A zone and would violate the Town toning Code.
Moreover, LILCO's proposal to use trailers for monitoring and decontamination brings into play some other provisions of the Town's zoning code.
Section 70-203 states in.part as follows:
Section 70-203.
Public health, safety and general welfare.
A.
No trade, industry, purpose or use shall be conducted in such a manner as to create corro-sive or toxic fumes, gas, smoke or odors, ob-noxious dust, vapor or wastes, offensive noise i
or vibration, which may be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
It is our position that any decontamination acti-vity on the site would violate this section.
Our examination of LILCO's drawing also indicated i
that the site itself is totally inadequate to accommodate the proposed use and handle the expected volume of people and automobiles.
Our records indicate that the site is approximately 600,000 square feet (or about 7.3 acres), and approximately 35 percent of the site is presently covered with buildings or landscaping.
That would leave about l
390,000 square feet left for the evacuation center activity.
It' is our further understanding that LILCO's proposed plan would direct approximately 40,000 people to this site.
Putting aside for a moment the other traffic problems in the area, we believe that a conservative estimate would be that some 13,000 cars would be directed to this site (12,100 is the number contained in LILCO's traffic study).
In discussions with both our Planning Department, Building Department and our Board of zoning and Appeal's personnel, it is our calculation (using parking space sizes and aisle and exit lane dimensions below our Code standards).
that.LILCO will not be able to handle more than 1,100 cars at any one time on the site.
In fact, we believe that is a generous estimate.
Clearly, given the confusion and fear which would accompany an actual evacuation and the time nec-essary to check each vehicle and the occupants, this site just is not big enough to handle the projected volume.
It should be noted that the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum parking area designated in the previous LILCO plan is approximately 53
Adainistrativo Judges December 11, 1986 Page Three acres.
Many critics of this earlier plan using the Coliseum l
thought that the site was inadequate.
Therefore, _ we would request that you carefully consider whether the three new LILCO sites are sufficient to meet the projected demand.
The i
Town is concerned that there would be thousands of cars backed up on line waiting to gain entrance to the site or that there would be cars driving through the surrounding neighborhood trying to gain an alternate access route to the site.
We have reviewed the traffic report. prepared by KLD Associates in connection with LILCO's proposed plan.
The Town does not share the view that the traffic could be properly handled.
The exit from the westbound Long Island Expressway for Willis Avenue in one of the worst in the County.
Under normal rush hour conditions there are traffic tie ups at this exit.
We urge you to carefully review the traffic report and to make an independent assessment of the traffic conditions.
The Willis Avenue /Long Island Express-way intersection is one of the most important for north-south travel in the Town of North Hempstead.
Finally, the Town is concerned about the effect that the use of this facility for decontamination purposes could have on the quality of our groundwater supply.
The contamination of the groundwater from wastewater runoff could threaten the health and safety of our residents.
This issue should not be treated lightly.
As you know, Long Island has no alternate source of drinking water and the possible dangers to our groundwater must be given paramount consideration.
We respectfully request that you reject the use of the Roslyn facility as part of the LILCO evacuation plan.
V uly yours, John B.
iernan Superv o
