Joint Meeting -2- April 28, 1999
Mr. "Robert We Gillispie, -Jr. ;-" Acting.- Chairman; opened:
the meeting --by stammarising . the problems at hand: 1 It-is
felt a specific- area should.-be -established -where light 'busJ6
ness -may"-develop lif_ the future and 2..� we- should- have--access
roads -along this area on Middle Road, or' a bombination of
both l and 20' .."There is a great need to establish some kind
of plan or policy.
W. Tacker" stated- that some thought "should be given- to
how "the,..Town wants the area to develop before they are at a
point nothing can be done.
Considerable discussion was held"relative " to--what--type
of plan..should"be formulated; with Mr. Talker indicating -that
he'"feels the Town' should require- the buildings be--sufficiently
back from the highway line with the future expanded highway in
mind.
t..was- 'the feeling of We Gillispie -that loops-would be
the solutiom"to 'the 'problem Of' eliminating- strip" business.
This was.'..also the feeling of the majority present.
Upon inquiry from members--present Mr. Rlipp stated that
he..htt not "yet had a meeting with the State & County represen,;-
tatives� "but is"-"trying to arrange -one as - soon as possible to
determine what is to be done on Middle Road*
yen is' 'of the" opinion -that. 'a- four lane highway"" is not
necessary to 'accomodate -the- -present traffic: -He further- feels
that if business were allowed to" develop too-greatly on the-
highway-there.-will- be left 'abandoned business buildings on the
old road. This point was discussed.
Mr " Howard "Terry quoted an article' from- the "Engire3ering
Brews 11 with-reference to'-high": speed "highways and development
along. them. The members present discussed this thoroughly.
It was the opinion of those Present that the future plan
should--be sought from 'the..County- and State. -It was also felt
there is an urgent need for high speed limited access east-
west highway mad the Planning Board Resolved to- go on record
that 'they wiJ1 be unwilling -to-recommend" any extension of
business zones "on "the Middle" Road"until such time -as the State
County and" Town agree on-what type- of road there shall be and
where -it -is to be located. Furtherer 'the Planning Board- is of
the. opinion "that the best interests "of the Town"of 'Southold - .-
would -be- seated "by-having this-a high speed road with the- ,least
amount of-business. 'The--Planning Board is agreed: that they will
not hold up more- than three-..to six months the determination of
the triangle in west -Mattituck and' "adjacent property. Ali members
of- the -Planning -Board voting aye on-the Resolution, with the
exception of Mr. Reeve who voted nay.

ordered forwarded to the- Town; Board- and" Board of Appeals
by"Mr. Wickham. " A" letter was ordered transmitted- to-X,
E.
Goul, -District--Engineers State cf New "Yorke Department of .
Public"Works stating- that the-Planning Board feels there'
is "Aft urgent need"for" a-high speed limited-access "east-west
highway Abd- it could" probably tie done"economically and" in
the "n®ar future. -A copy of this letter to 'Mr. 'Goul was
forw&Ad"to the County Planning Boards Town Board, and Board
of Supervisors with a covering letter.-
Those present at the - joint" meeting -feel that- the new
road will probably'be a four lane divided highway from - -
Mattituck to Greenport traffic circle and will be either
County or State.
There was considerable discussion held on the subject
of gas stations and how far apart they should be located.
Rr-O Demarest- indicated that he feels-, that agricultural
distrixt§- should 'be separatefrok residential "districts to
prevent strip"development of farms. Discussion on this
matter ensued.
W. Wickham "brought up the' 'matter oft he request-by the
Fishers Island Civic Association for property on Fishers
Island to be included"in" the Suffolk eounty :Park Program.-
