Joint Meeting -2-- April 25t 1960 The meeting was called to order at 7:50 P.M. following a regular meeting of the Southold Town Board which began at 7: 30 P.M. The first matter under discussion was increasing the size of the minimum lot area from 12,500 sq. ft. to 20, 000 sq. ft. Supervisor 'Tuthill spoke on the need of increasing the size of the lots or installing public water supply as outlined by the Health Department at the last joint meeting. The outcome was that the members present decided not to increase the size of the lots at this time. John Wickham spoke as being opposed to five lots or more comprising a subdivision. He is also opposed to the Health Department enforcing their rules and regulations in the Town of Southold. All members discussed the requirements of the Health Department to be enforced in the Town, a bulletin on which was to be supplied by the Health Department. Town Attorney Tasker stated that we should not take any active part in any rules and regulations the Health Department want to enforce. They should enforce their own. However, the Town has a moral obligation to apprise builders or prospective home owners that there are other rules and regulations besides the Zoning Ordinance requirements which should be investigated. The outcome of this suggestion was that the Health Department will supply informative bulletins or required application blanks to be handed out by the Building Inspector upon the receipt of an application for a building permit. And it should be clearly stated to all parties that these are not Town regulations and are given to them for their information only. The following amendments to the Zoning Ordinance were discussed and decision reached: 1. By amending Article I* Section 1000 by adding thereto a new paragraph to be paragraph 7A, to read as follows: 7A-COUNSELING SERVICES - Advice on investmentso insurance and the like. 2.
