A regular meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board
was held 7:30 P.M.,# Tuesday, September 64( 1960f_ at the Town
Clerk office, Main Road, Southold.. New York.
There were presents Messrs.. John Wickham,#, Chairman,.

Mr. H. Lee Dennison,#, Suffolk County Executive was invited
to meet with the Planning Board to discuss the-extension- of the
Expressway into Southold Town. On the plan submitted by Mr..
Dennison the Expressway is to run along the Sound, from .600 ft. .
. to 1000 ft. from the Sound bank. Almost everyone present expressed
the opinion that the Expressway should run along the power lines
or in a similar area.
Southold Town Planning Board 2- September 6s 1960
Mr. Dennison stated that. the Expressway would have marginal
roads on each side. He said that these roads will bring develop-
ment around the Expressway, He did not feel that it would be
advantageous to have it follow the power lines. The main reason
he had for running the Expressway along the Sound bluff is to open
up waterfront on the Sound and bring people to that area. The
bpinion was expressed by the members present that it would not be
a good idea to run the Expressway along the Sound and expect develop-
ment because the people would not like to settle where there would
be a high-speed road in their front or back yards. Mr. Wickham
stated that he feels the development of waterfront is the most
important considerations much more important than the development
of road frontage and it is not his idea to devebp the Sound bluff
by means of an Expressway. Furthermore the Planning Board has
extensive plans for the development of Soundview Road as a scenic
highway to run from Otient Point through the entire Town of Southold.
Mr. Dennison stated that Route 25 is not a very good highway
for high-speed traffic, it does not serve and cannot be reasonably
improved because it is so crooked and built-up. However# he feels
it is a good scenic route and should continue as such after the
Expressway is extended into Southold Town.
in closing this topic Mr. Dennison advised that he felt they
could come up with some m mpromisej, possibly with some of the
Expressway along the bluff and part further south. However, he will
be in touch with the Planning Board as soon as there is a decision
with relation to Grummans.. There is a question at this time as to
whether the Expressway will go. north or south of Grumman.s. A
decision on this matter is expected in the immediate future.
Another topic discussed was the matter of County marinas in
the Town of Southold which were shown on Mr. Denni.son's plan. Five
marinas are planned for the Town. Mr.D ennison stated that the one
at Mattituck Inlet on the Sound would be the first one established
in Southold Town, He had an aerial map of Mattituck Inlet .and
explained that they plan to dredge the natural route of the Inlet
and endeavor, to swap with the M,attituck Park Commission to secure
sufficient land for the marina, The financing of the Marinas would
be by the County with no State aid. The dredging wouldbe done by
the County dredge and they now have a policy which states it. shall
only dredge where there is public land. Mr. Dennison feels that
marinas would bring back boat building which was born on song
Island,#, and storage yards. He also wants private industry to
develop along with the marinas. At the present time .a Park

Administration is being set up to organize and run the marinas..
Mr.. Dennison brought with him his overall map for proposed
highways for the County and discussion was held on connections
for various arterial roads in Southold Town leading west..
Before Mr., Dennison left there were brief discussions relative
to a central motor pool, central maintenance department, and central
purchasing agent for highway departments.
