The developer behind a Sayville housing proposal Islip Town rejected in 2021 after community opposition expects to file a new application this fall with a scaled-down plan, according to a company official. Rechler Equity Partners, which owns the former Island Hills Golf and Country Club on Lakeland Avenue, has downsized its original proposal for a 1,365-unit apartment complex on the site to about 900 units. Members of at least one local civic group used the Freedom of Information Law to obtain the new conceptual plan for the project from the town after the developer submitted it earlier this year — and they're prepping for another fight.
