Mr. Van Tuyl presented- to the Planning Board, for discussion, the final map of Hilton Heights 'at North Parrish, Bayview, Southold, New York. All of the lots in this subdivision are over 12,500 sq. ft. Since the roads have not been constructed Mr., Van Tuyl 'was advised that Mr. Epp would have to present to the Town Board a Performance Bond sufficient to cover the full cost of improvements estimated by the Planning Board and approved by the Town Superintendent of Highways. Mr. Van Tuyl stated that he would take this matter up further with Mr. Epp prior to filing for final approval. , Mr. Van Tuyl brought up the matter of Section 2, Orient-By- The-Sea. Mr. Uhl would like to construct that section of Soundview Avenue in Section 2 which runs to the Sound and dedicate that part to the Town. However, according to the Real Property Law and the Subdivision- Law, when a map is filed all streets should be monumented with two monuments at each corner. The Planning Board felt that - that would not be practical on undeveloped land that Mr. Uhl intends to rent as farm land, until such time as he is ready. to develop. They suggested that he divide Section two if he wants to d-evelop 'the shore front parcel and separate it from the intended farm land, and then proceed to install and monument his roads to specifications in that area and to file for the balance as Section 3, if and when he- is read:,- to develop it. They suggested that - . possibly -the Town Board would adjust the fee'.. for this subdivision if he wished to do it that way. It is also the Planning Board' s thought that the road nearest the water front should continue under its present mme and -serve only that portion of the subdivision as shown on the water front - section of the map and the second road should be the road which connects with the proposed Soundview or Sound Road running along parallel to the Sound bluff from Youngs Avenue to Orient:.Point as suggested in proposal dated June 1, 1960. On Monday: December 5th the Planning Board met with the Town Board at the intersection of:Cox Neck Road, Sound Avenue and Middle Road, Mattituck, to discuss zoning the intersection atea "B" Business.
