" Southold Town Planning Board -4- February 4# 1964 All parties concerned held a lengthy discussion relative to the alternate plan for Sound Road. The Planning Board was completely satisfied with the new proposal but the owners did not agree. The matttr was thoroughly discussed and finally the applicants stated that they would be willing to go along with the wishes of the Planning Board. In making this change it will not be necessary to have a 10 ft. crosswalk in the center of the main block in this subdivision. Mr. Edson advised that he would have the map amended to show the alternative approved plan and submit three copies to the Planning ,Board. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hoey and Mrs. Genevieve Daly and presumably Mrs. Daly's; son, appeared before the Planning Board to discuss the property in the Estate of Thomas F. Daly at- the east side of Town Harbor Lane, Southold, New York. The Board examined a suggested layout map dated October ,23.,, 1962 by Otto W. Van Tuyl & Son® There is public water along Town Harbor Lane and the developers plan to extend it into the subdivision, therefore the lots are laid out at 12,500 sq. ft. The developers strongly objected to the idea of public highways and did not wish to have access to the water avail- able to the public. They were advised that they did not have to build the roads immediately but the roads when they are built would have to be to Town specifications and the access would be required. . After considerable discussion 3Aative to public water and the road layout they decided to revise the map and consult with the Suffolk County Health Department and Town Highway Superintendent. The Planning Board 'receive.dtfr om the Town Board the petition of Millard A— Northridge.:, -Circle Drive, , Jamesportt requesting a change of zone from. "A" Residentiai and Agricultural District to "B" Business District on certain property in Laurel with a request that, the Planning Board prepare an official report defining the conditions described in the petition and determine the area so affect with the recommendation of the Board.

The Board thoroughly discussed this proposal and it was the opinion of the Board the remainder of the property easterly to the corner"of Bray*Avenue be included in this change of zone as well as Lot No. l to the west as this ,y property is all non-conforming at the present time.

New York= requesting a change of zone from "A" Residential. and Agricultural District to "B" Business District on property' located on the west side of 'North Main Streets Greenport, with instructions to prepare an official report defining the conditions described in the petition and determine the area so affected with the recommenda- tion of the Board.

Residential and Agricultural' District to "B" Business District to permit the construction of, a professional building. Southold Town Planning Board -7- February 4, 1964 It was the decision of the Board to further investigate this property and submit their findings at the next Planning Board meeting. The Board very briefly discussed the proposed road to be known as "Charlie's Lane" at New Suffolk. Two years ago this Board had taken this matter up with the Suffolk County Department of Public Works as Charlie's Lane joins;_ with a county route. At the present time a lot has been sold on this proposed road and the owner wishes to build but cannot obtain a building permit because the road has not been approved and recognition of access cannot be granted by the Board of Appeals because this road is not passable. The Board again discussed the matter of widening Griffing Street$ School Street-Extension and North Street at- Cutchogue in connection with the proposed change of zone from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "B" Business District on the property of 'William J. Baxter,, Jr. and others. A letter was received from William Wickham, attorney: stating that he has been requested by the Baxter interests to advise that they agree to dedicate five additional feet on either side of Griffing Street from the Post Office northward and five feet on either side of School House Road Extension easterly to their boundary line. Since it has been discussed before and theabove seems to present a problem as to the continuity of the road it was decided that the matter should be held for further discussion with the Baxter interests. Mr. Wickham reported that he talked with Mr. John Diffigos of the New York State Bureau of Planning: Department of Commerce and about ten days ago he talked with the heads of three departments at Cornell regarding the future study of the Town and everything seems to be in order. There will be a pre-application meeting, at 7:30 P.M. ,, Thursday,, February. 13, 1964 at the office of the Supervisor at Greenport. The next regular meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board will be held 7: 30 P.M. , Tuesday,. March 10, 1964 at the Town Office, Main Road, Southo14 New York.
