'President Horton thought it was a good suggestion and said the Board would consider it. .Trustee Stoutenburgh made a motion, seconded by Trustee Harris and carried to approve the minutes'_ of the regular meeting of January 3, 1978 and the special meeting of January 14, 1978. The next meeting of the Board of Southold Town Trustees will be held on Tuesday, March 7, 1978. The President directed the clerk to send a copy of the agenda and the minutes to the Bay Constable each month so he is aware of the applications being made. Mr. Stoutenburgh does not feel that the trustees have enough guidelines to - go by and requested that a committee be set up to draw up the`-guidelines so there are definite things the 'trustees can fall back on. A lot of things are in- people ' s minds but not spelled out. Things will get more complicated as time goes by and something more is needed than the broad statement 'in. the Code. There was some discussion on aerial maps that are going to be made available to municipalities. At' present they can be purchased through Satellite Corporation. Imput from the public will also be sought. Motion was made by Mr. Nickles, seconded by Mr. Stoutenburgh and carried that the meeting be adjourned. Muriel Brush, Clerk
