Mrs. Jean" Tiedke, President .of. the League of Women :Voters of Riverhead , read the following letter to the Board: "To Mr. Martocchia and Members of the Town Board: , The . League of Women Voters is pleased. that. Town officials are revising the Zoning .,Ordinance. We support the concepts stated on behalf of the North Fork Environmental Council, Inc. by. their .Zoning Reform Committee and would like to stress certain points. 1. - A detailed environmental impact statement should .be_. required from every applicant for site development. Such , . ra statement should cover the plan,_s relationship ,to the Town Development Plan. and the .Bi-County Development Plan and other' items including but. not limited to: , Open space provision (whether private, Association owned, or deeded to the Town. ) Pond and wetlands protection (both salt and fresh) Extent of dredging , filling ,or leveling . 3 4 Traffic patterns Water tests Effect on Town services , including schools Provision for leaching fields and dry well`s for water recharge. Underground utility wiring General environmental and architectural consistency with the area'. We believe tha"tthe Town Advisory Council should consider _ and comment on such an impact statement and that the impact statement and comments should-be .part of the Preliminary Public Hearing held by the Planning Board. 2. Moderate and low-income housing should be continuously provided for. Although there are building lots now available in �4- and 2 acre size, we believe that future developments should apportion a percentage _of the acreage for moderate and low income, ownership while maintaining the over-all density requirement . We would encourage a limited use of mixed housing in a devetlopment particularly, near existing hamlets . . A percentage of the allowable units to .be built in the form of multiple dwellings woul'd''help to provide much-needed choice, particularly for the young or elderly who want a pleasant environment with- too much property to take:care of and witYiiH walking distance of a business center. Therefore, higher density development should be located close to existing population centers . Lower density development should be located in more remote- areas . 3 . The' question-of water supply is. increasingly serious. 46 urge ' the 'Tbwn` Board to have the ".P"irnie Report up-dated. 4. Cluster zoning should not only. be permitted but encouraged. 5. Health Department' Approal: ^ Prior approval must be 'required . before any building is commenced. The league offers some additional suggestions for"zoning reform for your consideration. 1. Performance bonds: At present, performance bonds cover roads and drainage. They can and should be required for such items- as the following: preservation of natural drainage patterns, trees over a certain size, woodlands, pofds , ravines , natural under- growth where it is important for erosion control and/or natural recharge. 2 2.. Set-back for bluff sites: Buildings erected on a bluff or bank should be required "to have a sizeable " set-back from the edge to avoid erosion damage. 3. Set-back from high-water mark: Requirements for set-backs from high water mark should be at least as strict as set- back from streets . The League of Women Voters is aware that the Town Board and-Town Planning Board are implementing many of the concepts of the Town 's Development Plan. In order to allow time to study and further refine present zoning regulations we suggest a planned postponement on new developments . waaould "be advantageous at this time. Also, there are many people` in 'this_ Town whou�, o�ufLd' be available for"'discussion with Town officials , and whose expertise should be tapped. Sincerely, /s/ Jean H.
