Vote of the Board : Ayes : Messrs . Goehringer , Grigonis ,
Doyen , Douglass and Sawicki . This resolution was adopted by unanimous
vote of all the members .
WORK SESSION : The board members were not in agreement
with the proposed Master Plan changes as drafted and furnished
on May 9 , 1985 , and requested that all mentions of "special excep-
tions " particularly not be acted upon at this t-ime by the Town
Board to allow the Planning and Zoning Departments to meet as
mutually suggested to discuss the Planning Board ' s proposal of
shifting special exception authority . The present system has
allowed a balancing concerning many areas which are before both
boards (many examples were cited ) . The only area which would
be considered to shift would be the " Resort Residential " zones
(bed and breakfast , tourist camps , multiple dwellings , etc . )
Member Doyen would also like to be given an opportunity to parti -
cipate in the Master Plan meetings , but would need at least
48 hours ' notice to arrange for transportation , etc . Chairman
Goehringer also indicated several areas which should be con-
sidered as "extensions of the present business zones " for
office-type uses : west of Wells Pontiac along the Main Road , Peconic ;
west of Sigsbee Road in Mattituck , and east of Cox ' s Lane along. the
Main Road , Cutchogue (both north and south sides ) . Further input
is to be made in the near future (ref . home occupations and other
areas of the master plan ) .
