Dear Neighbors:
I hope that you and your family are doing well. We have had a lovely summer, but I must say it was a refreshing change to wake up to a cool morning. There are a couple of things that I would like to update you on.
The Board of Trustees will be holding a public hearing on August 4th to solicit comments on a proposed local law regulating the parking and storage of trailers, commercial vehicles and construction equipment on residential property in the Village. Most upscale communities have similar laws and regulations.
Click here to read the proposed law.
Please note that the proposed local law does not cover boat trailers, jet ski trailers, snowmobile trailers or any trailers for personal use.
If you would like to comment on the proposed law, you can do so by email to nrittenhouse@asharokenny.org or during the conference call hearing on August 4th at 6:30pm. Any written comments will be read into the record during the meeting and thus become part of the permanent record. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
The Village completed the repair of two exposed and rotting groins in the beach lot area. These old groins were very dangerous and needed to be repaired in order to eliminate the risk they posed to swimmers and walkers. Thanks to Pam Pierce, the Village's terrific Deputy Mayor, for overseeing this project which was completed in a very timely manner.
If you own a beach lot, please maintain your crossover steps so that they are safe. In addition, it is against DEC regulations to place anything other than wood chips where you park your cars. Nothing can be placed on the bay side of the dune between Asharoken Avenue and Duck Island Harbor. The vegetation on the bay side of the dune should not be disturbed. If you have any questions please call Village Hall at 631-261-7098 prior to starting any projects on your beach lot. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
Wishing everyone a great weekend,
Mayor Greg Letica

Dear Neighbors:
The Village will be working on two important infrastructure projects beginning next week. Two groins in the beach lot area have become exposed; Deputy Mayor Pam Pierce evaluated the situation and agreed that remediation was needed. The Village hired LaMay & Sons, Inc. to remove the exposed groins. The work will commence next week. In 2016 the Village removed similar exposed groins in the area of 138 Asharoken Avenue and also in the beach lot area. Thanks to Deputy Mayor Pam Pierce for managing this project.
The Village is working on mitigating a chronic drainage issue near 103-105, 106-108, and 166-168 Asharoken Ave. The Village hired Fauser Associates PC to survey these areas and locate the Village right-of-way. Utility markouts will be made, then a final design plan completed. Thanks to former Asharoken resident Eric Fauser of Fauser Associates for donating his surveying services. Also, thanks to Trustee Ian Jablonski for being the lead on this drainage project.
It is anticipated that reserve funds will be expended for these projects.
Wishing everyone a great weekend, stay well.
Mayor Greg Letica

I hope that you and your family are well and staying healthy. For the last several weeks the number of new daily COVID cases in Suffolk County has averaged around 50. This is a reminder that although things have gotten much better the virus is still with us. Please keep your guard up at all times. Social distance, wear your mask and keep up with proper hand hygiene.
The 4th of July was certainly different this year without the Fireworks by Grucci display. It was a glorious day and the bonfires were spectacular as always. Thank you for following the bonfire guidelines and making the day safe for everyone. I optimistically look forward to next year's 4th of July and the return of Asharoken's fireworks celebration.
Tropical Storm Fay will impact the Village later today and tonight. The winds are expected to be from the east at about 20 knots this afternoon, 30-40 knots from the southeast this evening and turn south by Saturday. The good news is that the windier part of the storm will occur after today's 4PM high tide. There may be delays or closure of Asharoken Avenue at the seawall around the 4PM high tide. It is advisable, if possible, to avoid the seawall area between 2pm and 6pm this afternoon. Real-time information on the road will be posted here on the Village website, and via the Village Twitter account @asharokenny.
Wishing you a great weekend and stay well!
Mayor Greg Letica
