All is not quiet on Manorhaven’s waterfront

Committee and board debate whether to build condos or homes and marinas BY ST E P H E N ROMANO After months of meetings, the Manorhaven Waterfront Advisory Committee presented its ideas for the future of the waterfront to the Board of Trustees on Thursday, with some members calling for more marinas and single-family homes and others asking for condominium developments. “We all want to protect and preserve the best of Manorhaven for generations to come, including its natural beauty and unique character,” Mayor Jim Avena said at a special work session. “At the same time, we must also consider the rights of the property owners who wish to use and enjoy their properties and realize a reasonable return on their investments.” Avena appointed an advisory community last June when the village passed a waterfront development moratorium, halting all building along the seaside.
The moratorium was renewed in January and again in June for six months.
