Sea
Isle Development
Project
The future site of the Sea Isle
Properties townhouses. After about 24 years and
multiple downsizings of this implausible project,
the plan to put 8 residential units on what can
best be described as a sand bar, that extends from
Shore Road out into Glen Cove Creek, near the Sea
Cliff-Glen Cove border. Much of this property is a
protected wetlands area. The remaining acreage does
not seem suitable for any human habitation,
particularly when the tide is higher than the norm.
The photos above show the property inundated by the
combination of Spring Tide (higher than normal high
tide) plus the storm surge due to the Nor'easter on
Sunday, 15 April to Monday, 16 April 2007. One
wonders whether potential buyers of these
properties, were they to be built on this land,
would be ever able to obtain homeowners insurance.
