HomeMy WebLinkAboutTB-08/22/1978 SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD August 22, 1978 Executive Session Mr. Wilbur Klatsky_ of Leon H.-Weiner &4ssociates , Inc. appeared before the Board requesting a letter approving Mr. Weiner ' s applica- tion for a state subsidy for building multi-family dwellings_ on Youngs Avenue, Southold (Hellman-Ahlers property zoned "M-1" on May 9, 1972) . Mr. Klatsky stated Weiner proposes to build 154 units of 1 bedroom efficiency and some two bedroom efficiene.y apartments. All building construction would meet the New York State Code and they would seek site plan approval from the Planning Board, however, at. the present time, they have no architectural drawings for the project. Mr .. Klatsky asked for a letter from the Town Board for submission to the State assuring them that subject to meeting all regu- lations and requirements they would receive Building .permits and certi- ficates of occupancy. The Board advised Mr .. Klatsky that he is ,asking for appr-oval_ of an application that they have not seen. Furthermore, they cannot tell the Building Department to issue or -not issue -a permit, nor the Planning Board to approve or not approve a site plan. To write such a_;letter would appear as preferential treatment over other appli- cants. Since this matter is out of ,the jurisdiction of the Town Board, Mr. Klatsky was told to deal directly with the departments concerned, the Building Department and Planning Board. If Mr. Klatsky. desired, a letter could be secured from the ,Town Clerk stating the property in question was zoned "M-l" in--1972 and still is "M-1" , and a copy of the HUD resolution could be supplied to him as well.
