Through Change.org, Andrew Kirtzman, Fire Island Pines Pavilion co-owner, with Matthew Blesso of Blesso Properties and Seth Weissman of Weissman Equities, has begun a petition to the Brookhaven Board of Zoning Appeals to approve permits expeditiously to rebuild the Pavilion, destroyed in the November 14, 2011 fire, at its hearing on January 25.

The petition reads “The Pavilion is the centerpiece of the Fire Island Pines commercial district and an integral and indispensable part of the economic, cultural and social well-being of the community. If it is not functional for the 2012 season there will be a serious negative impact on the economy of the community, affecting local businesses, homeowners, renters and visitors.The coverage and setbacks will be the same and will not increase. The main priority is to get the Pavilion up and running as quickly as possible and the most expeditious way of doing that is to rebuild what burned down.”
