WHEREAS at a meeting of this Board held on the 7th day of May, 1974,
a resolution was duly adopted granting the application of Bruce A.
Norris for a change of zone of premises. at .Mattituck, Town of
Southold, New York, from "A" Residential and Agricultural District
to "M" Light Multiple Residence District, and
WHEREAS the aforesaid resolution adopted by this Board on May 7 , 1974
inadvertently omitted to set forth therein the reasons for rejecting
the Suffolk County Planning Commission's report with respect to such
application in' accotdance with the provisions of the Suffolk County
Charter,
NOW, THEREFORE., HIE IS RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS :.
The aforementioned resolution of 'this Board adopted on May 7 ,
1974 is hereby amended by adding thereto this Board' s reasons for
rejecting the Suffolk County Planning Commission-'s report disapproving
the proposed change of zone, said reasons being as follows :
1. The Norris premises are .located south of New Suffolk Avenue
which is south of New York Route 25'. The Comprhhensive Development
Plan of the Town of Southold recommends that major residential develop-
ment should be directed to the areas south 'of' Route 25. The rezoning
of the subject property to Light Multiple Residencd use therefor is in
conformity with the Comprehensive Development Plan.
2., The Norris property is located southeast of and in the
immediate vicinity of the established retail shopping area of the
hamlet of Mattituck. The comprehensive plan of the Town of Southold
recommends that attached house developments of medium density as
proposed in the application be located in areas in the vicinity of
established shopping centers.
3. The applicant has given assurances that a central water supply
system and a tertiary sewerage system will be installed on the premises.
The engineering report of Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell submitted
to the Board in conjunction with the application indicated that the
water system to be installed will be so designed as to be able to
provide a water supply not only for the property in question but also
to adjoining areas which presently are experiencing problems in obtain-
ing water by 'individual wells. The planned sewerage system will
recharge renovated waste water thereby conserving the available water

supply. in the general area. Such a system will also reduc'e. the
contamination of the underground water supply, which would not be the case
if the property were developed with individual homes with. individual
cesspools.
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk transmit a copy of
this resolution to the Suffolk County Planning, Commission.
