Joint Meeting -2- April 4r 1963
the municipality one-sixth. This program can only be used
in municipalities with less than 50,000 population. There
are no Federal strings attached; they do not tell you what to
do or how, however , you must actually accomplish the program.
Riverhead is presently starting a 701 Program and Shelter- Island
and East Hampton are considering it.
Mr. Koppelman suggested that consultants with experience in
working in communities with basically an agricultural economic
base be considered. Several consultants should be interviewed and
the planning boards should go to the towns where these consultants
have done work and speak with the planning boards there and find
out how their plan is working.
'Inhere are six segments of this program. 1. Existing circulations
2. Existing land use; 3. Existing Community facilities; 4. Future
circulations the road picture; 5. Future land user how the Town
should be developed; and 6. Future community facilities.„ such as
hospitals, parkst municipal facilities,, fire facilities,; town hall,.
etc. The extension of the' Expressway and the future Long. Island-
Rhode Island bridge should be kept in mind.
Mr. Koppelman stated that some studies already prepared by
the County can be used in this plan to keep the cost down and .to
make it possible to put more time and money into phases of the
program that are important- to the town. . It-will take almost three
to six months for the application stage and about 18 to 24 months
drawing the comprehensive plan.
The members present discussed the importance of a thorough
water study and agricultural study. Mr. Koppelman feels this
is very important.
