I am protesting vigorously the application
of James Wasson to change the classification of the property
bounded north by Gaffney, east by Bay Avenue, south by
Peconic Bay Boulevard and west by District l~ine, Mat~i+~uck,
New York.
This is strictly a residential section and
i c:~n see no re.~son why it should be changed. Establishment
of a business here wo~ld certainly reJuce the value of
resioential property in this vicinity.
Hoping you gentlemen can see your way clear

BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD, RALPH P. BOOTH, TOWN CLERK.
SuPe~vlsor Kiipp: The affidavits Of publication and p'Ost-
~ ~.ing are on file. I had to transfer the place of hearing to-
night because of the crowd. The Town Clerk's Office would
not hold the people with any degree of comfort.
I think we will take the ~cases in the order in which
they come, the first parcel being in the vicinity of Mattituck
and prominently known as the land of James Wasson. The
petition is addressed to the Town Board.
"I, James Wasson, residing at Mattltuck, Suffolk County,
New York, the undersigned, am the owner of certain real
property situated at Mattituck and more particularly bounded
5
and described as Follows:
ALL that tract of parcel of land, situate lying and being
at Mattituck, in the Town of Southold, County of Suffolk,
and State of New York~ bounded on the North by W. G~ffney,
on the South by ?econic Bay Boulevard~ m~ on the East by
Bay Avenue, and on the West by District Line.
I do hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of
Southoid to change~ modify and amend ~he Building Zone
Ordinance of the Town of Southold~ Suffolk County, New York,
ir~cluding the Building Zone Maps heretofore made a part
thereof, as follows: By changing from "A" Residential and
Agricultural Distr~ct to "B" Business District.
Such request is made for the following reasons:
This parcel is located directly in front of the Mattituck
Park and is not suitable for residential purposes. At present
it is used for a storage yard for second, hand lumber and
second hand steel and other materials and was so used prior
to April 25~ 1957.
My Intention is to build a few cottages properly placed
and beautified which will be season rentals - a plan is
herewith submitted."
(signed) James Wasson.
Now~ t~hmt petition wms referred to the ~lanning Bomrd
for study and recommendation, and I read you at this ~ime

the recommendation of the Southold Town Planning Board:
REPORT TO THE SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD, SOUTHOLD, NEW YORK:
This is to certify that .the following action was taken
by the Planning Board on October 29, 1957:
Petition of james Wasson of Mattituck, N. Y., for a
change of the Zoning Ordinance from "A" Residential and
Agricultural to "B" Business District all that tract of land,
situate lying and being at Mattituck, N. Y., bounded on the
North by land of W. Gaffney, on the South by Peconic Bay Blvd.,
on the East by Bay Avenue and on the West by District Line.
It is the determination of the Planning Board that this
project be approved but it is the thought of the Planning Board
that it would be advisable to have the Town Board issue a
special permit.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: This is signed by John Wickham,
Chairman, Southold Town Planning Board.
Now, at this time, is there anyone that wishes to be
heard in opposition to the change in zone, and if you would
desire to speak, register your name and address with the
Clerk.
WILLIAM PETERS (Marlene Lane, Mattituck, N. Y.): I
represent the Marlene Lane Civic Association. We have 34
signatures of property owners and families that object to
the change of the Zoning Laws. I would like to have read
why we are opposing: "We, the undersigned, who are residents
of Marlene Lane, Mattituck, L. I~, and members of the Marlene
Lane Civic Association, Inc. strenuously oppose the petition
to change the zoning from C!a'ss "A" to "B" on land bounded
by "Gaffney" on the east, Bay Avenue, and on the South by
Peconic Bay Blvd. and on the west by.District Line. We
further authorize the officers of the aforementi°ned associ-
ation to represent us in opposition to this petition."
HOWARD H. PETERSON (Mattituck): I wil~ read a letter
to the Zoning Board:
"I represent the Marlene Lane Civic Association, Inc.~
which .~lssociation is ~ade up of forty home owners li~ing
on Marlene Lane~ who object strenuously to any changes in the
existing zoning regulations in co~ne~tion with the captioned
proper ty.
"Our objections are based on the following:
"When zoning was established, it was the opinion of the
Board that Vhe neighborhood under discussion was a residence
area, and i~ thus was properly zoned "A" Residential.
"Adjoining bay property was acquired by the town and the
public park and bathing beach are now being developed.
The acquisition of this property and the improvements
thereon are costly, and its benefits should accrue only to
the residents of Mattituck, and not to outsiders who would be
attracted here by small cabins and motels.
8
"The new bathing beach and park are assets to all of
Mattltuck, and they- and the immediate vicinity should be
maintained in an orderly and dignified manner, in keeping
with the neighborhood, and, in all fairness, to the adjoining
Iaome owners.
"If a change in zoning to business were permitted, it
would enhance the value of the property under discussion,
but why should any owner be benefitted at the expense of the
community of Mmttituck; Further, a change would establish
a precedent, and the adjoining owners on the NorTh and the
West would, undoubtedly, want the same rights, with the result
that the area would be developed for profit and the results
would be a "Honkey-Tonk," surrounding home owners who have
invested large sums of money for their homes and the proper
rearing of their familY.
"We, ~hez'efore, pray and beg of you not to permit of ~his
change.
MR. ?ETER$ON: I would also like to voice my own oppo-
sition. I moved down to Mattituck two years ago. I put
quite a little bit of money into a~home thinking I was in a
Residential Zone, and when the Board approved it as a Resi-
dential Zone I was very gratified. Now, if you are going to
change it, you will Just simply in my opinion override the
rights of the other surrounding property owners, a~d I want to
9
go on record as voicing my objection strenuously.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Anyone else wish to be heard in
oppos iT ion ?
~ILLIAM H. WENDEI~{EN (Mattituck): We represent Salt Lake
Villsge and while many of our neighbors have sent in many
letters, I will read one of them to you:
Gent iemen:
I oppose the amendment of the Building Zone 0rdinance
that woui.~ change to "B" the area "I" of the published
notice.
Since ~9~;i, I have owned improved property in Salt Lake
Village, Mattit'~ck, where during every summer, and at other
~imes, I have resided, large sums have been expended in
impressing r~y property, coofldent as I have been, that these
outlays~ p~us taxes, would never be frowned upon by any..
discriminatory, damaging exercise of governmental authority,
My immediate neighb~ors and those in and about the area des-
crlbed in "!" have done likewise in their apparent assu~%ption
that no _~awful authority would interfere in what always was
an~ now is an unus'ually quiet, residential neighborhood on
Peconic Bay. As for Salt Lake Village, I am in£ormed that
the loca~ assessor knows of no development on the North Fork
comparable to it as a unique residential area. My property
/
is so near "l" that the amended ordinance would eventually
10'
result in destroying Salt i~ke Village, as it is now, by
impairing its unique residential advantages, forcing sales
of our summer homes and ~.educing their tax valuations.
Twenty' years ago, where my house and those of my neighbors
stand, was swamp and tide water--worthless and untaxab!e. It
was the genius of the Richards' brothers who, from nothing,
produced this attractive residential area which has contri-
buted materially to the tax collections of village, town,
county and state, whike asking for and getting no service
from any if them.
The area is unusually ~aiuable for tax purposes, located
as it adjacent to Peconic Bay. There is not nor ever has been
any place of business within the "i" area. ~ithin a mile of
said area is Bouts 25, the main road, and the Mattituck Business
Blocks, which provide conveniently fo',~ the ordinary needs of
I am informed by my attorney that, in these circumstances,
the enabling sta~u=e (Town Law, Section 263) gives your Board
no authority to change a community so strictly residential in
character to a business area. ~ attorney further infor~s
me that, in the particular circumstances, to which I have
referred, any such change 'would be an arbitrary and unreason-
able invasion of properby righ~s ~hat would invalidate such
action of the Zoning Board. Furthermore, I am advised that
il
because such proposed action bears no substantial relation to
the health, safety, morals or general ~elfsre of the
community, it would be illegal.
i regret that the hearing on December 5 is at a season
and at an hour when it is impossible for me to be present.
Doubtless most of the owners similarly affected are in like
situation. Therefore, I respectfully pray that, before
proceeding further, your honorable Board adjourn action until
next July or August.
I respectfully request notice of any action of your
Board so t~at i~' i am so advised I can protect my right of
appeal and/or application for review to the Supreme Court.
I sm sending a copy of this letter to my neighbor, Mr.
William H. Wendeiken, asking that he read it to the Board
~t the he,ring.
Respectfully, Margaret O'Leary.
MRS. FP~NCES MAHONEY (Mattit~ck): We all feel pretty
much. the same way about this, and the Board has letters signed
'by most of the residents along Bay Avenue and Peconic Bay
Blvd., and they strenuously object to changing it from the
R~sidentlal Zone to the Business Zone.
WAL~d~ GAFFNEY (Mattituck): I have more or less sponsored
the petition here in protest of the change of zone in Mattituck
for the purpose of business. It starts at the corner of .Bay
Avenue mhd Peconlc Bay Blvd. Mr. Wasson does not ~wn the first
!.2
~wo lots on Bay Blvd. He sold them some seven years ago
to Mr. Abitz and he to Mr. Rochell, the present owner. I
am informed by Mr. Rochell t,hat at the time he bought ti'~m a
restrictive covenant was put into the deed. The r~str!ctions
were that the property could not be cut up or subdlv!Sed in
any one way, not ~ore than two I00 ft. lo, so These 100 ft.
lots would have only one-family residences and a garage and
that othere restriction was tYmt thence ~outd be no business
use or pro£essiona~ use in any way on the property~ Now~ if
Mr. Wasson handed down thes~ restrictions I thin~ he should
abide by them~
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: It is your understanding thst there
are deed restrictions?
M~R. GAFFNEY: I have a copy of ~he restrictions that were
handed down from Mr. Wasson to Mr. A~itz in December 1950.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: And that applies to the property in
.:~,. ? ,,,~ Question here? .
MR. GAFFNEY: As I understand it, the same applies
to Mr. Rochell as to Mr. Wasson. i don't have a deed, but
they are undoubtedly on record in the County Clerk's Office.
But Mr. Roche[~l told me that these things apply back to Mr.
Wasson as well as to him.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Is there any other person who wishes
to Be heard in opposition?
WILLIAM F. ABITZ (Mattltuck)~ When we developed this
pPoperty do,~n the~e we undarstood it was to be fo~ ~esidentlal
zoning. N<~,w, all of M~~. Wasson's ~,~ope~ty is thez. e between
RochelZ and tb~t N~. Qaffney mentioned, %hat, and the pieoe
that b~xongs to M~. Baum, that is the co~ne~ p~ope~ty on
Bay ~ouleva~d. N~;w, he has this ~umbe~ )~a~d In the~ e.
That is a fi~ hazard. We should ~r~ake him put a fence
a~ound tlmt thing, or else make him get i~ out of the~e
because there have been five bad ~
~r~s in the~e and I wi~h
the Town Board would take t~t up with M~. Wasson.
EDWA~ SMITHSON (~attituck): Yc~u stated in you~ fo~e~o~d
that the P]~annlng B~d had approved of this c~nge f~om "A"
f;o "B". Is It custotrmr~- for ~he Planning Board to make these
changes or approvals without consulting the residents nearby
who ~ou?~d be affected by this change of zoning?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: I did not say that the Planning Board
had appx~oved of it.
5~. SMtTH~O~: I be[[leve sc.
SUPERVISOR K~PP: I said ~.t was the reco~nendatlon.
The prooedure t~t is followed ls this: when a petition
is n~aae to the Town Board fo~ a c~nge from one olassiflcatlon
to ancther, t~t petition !s turned over to the Planning
Board fo]~ their study and recommendation only. I read the
reco~nendaUlon of the Planning Board. ~at is not th~
approval. Only the Town Board can chm~e it,
MR. SMITHSON: But the Planning Board recommended the
lB c hangs.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: That's right.
MR. SMITHSON: Which in effect is approved by the
Planning Board.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: That's right.
MR. SMITHSON: Isn't it customery for the Planning Board
to consider the property owners in the immediate vicinity
of this proposed change? Aren't they interested?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: No.
MR. SMITH3ON: They are not interested?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: As I told you before, the petition
is simply turned over to them for study. If they think
it is to the best interest in their opinion, that does not
necessarily make the change from Residential to Business.
MR. SMITHSON: That isn't the point I make. Shouldn't
they consult with the property owners?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Let us assume they did. I am not a
member of the Planning Board.
MR. SMITHSON: Let us assume they did not, because if
anybody here was consulted by the Planning Board let them say
so. Now, how many times has your Board changed to a lower
designation from "A" to "B"? Has it been done before?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Oh, yes.
MR. SMITHSON: In Residential sections, purely reslden'tial
15
sections ?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Now, I don't have the records with me.
I would say a half a dozen times, yes.
MR. SMITHSON: People come into a certain section, buy
property, and build houses, and put up their good money,
assuming that in doing so they are protected by zoning,
and then they find an approval by the Planning Board which
might result in a change from "A"to "B", thereby endangering
the value of their property. And that is the protest on our
part, that no change shall be made. (Applause)
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Is there any person here that has
not sent a letter to the Zoning Board?
MR. SMITHSON: I haven't because I am appearing in
person to protest. That is the reason.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: You did. speak.
MR. SMITHSON: It is less than a year ago that was
created into an "A" Zone, is that right?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: That's right.
MR. SMITHSON: And all of a sudden this fellow wants
to make it "B" in less than a year,s time.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Might I explain something to you:
the Town Board isn't taking any sides in this. Might I
explain there are some sections, we not only have them in
this Town, but in every town, I don't care where, that prior
to the time zoning was ado~d in April 1953 there were certain
16
business locations throughout this town that were classified
as "A" Residential Zone. These were considered a non-conforming
use and they can continue un from now until the end of time
as a non-conforming use. And I think in this particular case,
if I am wrong you PAy correct me, that there was some sort
of a lumber yard or something of that nature at this site
at the time the zoning was adopted. I Just throw that out
for what it is worth. We Ymve no objection to a lumber yard.
We don't want to have it made into "B" Zone. We want it an
"A" Zone.
~IR. PETERSON: I don' t think it was a lumber yard. It
was Just a place where a lot of old brick and lumber was stored,
whenever he had any excess of lumber he would put it there
and take it away when he could use it.
FLORF~NCE MAHONEY (Mattituck): May I ask how often you
publish this in the paper? Is it only in the ~ Island
T~aveler? Why don't you put it in the County Review?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: According to the Zoning Ordinance,
it provides that it shall be published in two newspapers
in the Town of Southold for two consecutive weeks prior to
the time of a public hearing. We get criticised from time
to time tbmt it is published in two papers.
MRS. M.~HONEY: Why couldn't it be put in the County
Rev iew ?
17
SUPERVISOR KLI?F: No, it must be in one of our own
official papers.
~tRS. MAHONEY: I would suggest any changes in t~e future
that the Town Board has that they would notify theproperty
owners in a certain area, Just send out sm~ll notices to
such property owners, say within a half a mile, and these
various property owners will be put on notice, and that is
the system being used in New York City. That is a suggestion
we would appreciate.
SUPERVISOR KLI?P: I have no objection if the Town Law
allows us to do what the City law does. The Town Law says
you should send to everybody within a certain number of feet.
You will find. some live a little Further away feel that they
should be notified.
MRS. ~AHONEY: I propose that that be amend~ed.
MR. PETERSON: If Mr. Wasson is allowed this privilege
of putting up little cottages, etc., how about the adjacent
property owners~ they would like to have their zoning c[~anged.
Would they grant that? Because after all, the Town built a
beautiful beach there, and it is going to be public property.
If his business is allowed there we are going to lose this
beautiful beach and we will have business. I don't think
it should be allowed, to.one m~n and not to others.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: You are assuming that the Town Board
is going to grant this. We are only hearing those who are in
18
opposition to.
MR. PETERSON: Is the fellow who wants the change here
tonight? Does he want to say anything?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Is there any other person who wishes
to be heard in opposition?
MR, PETERSON: When you read about what Mr. Wasson was
going to build there it sounded very nice. On the other hand,
I hope you gentlemen won't consider this change, but if it
be by the remotest chance that you should, what have you got
to bind him? What could he do? Could he sell the property?
Or he may pass out. We are all subject to that. Or do we
know what he is pulling up?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: We don ' t.
MR. PETERSON: We take that chance?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: That' s right.
MR. PETERSON: And the Board takes that when we ask them
not to take that cbmnce.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: The law provides that we only Prove to
change from Residential to Business for any of those purposes
that are provided for in the Zoning Law. This Business
could be established on there. I wish the law was worded
stipulating what business should be conducted there.
MR. PE~Iq~RSON: Then it seems you are taking an awful
chance.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: You do that with all business. There
19
is no guarantee.
MR. PETERSON: I hope you gentlemen don't change it.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Any person in opposition? If not,
at this time I would like to file with the Clerk a number of
letSers and a list of those in opposition to She change of zone
as far as the Wasson property is concerned.
(The list and letters were received in evidence and
marked Exhibit 1. )
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Is there any person who wishes to
be heard in favor of?
(There was no response.)
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Does any person have anything to say
in opposition to or in favor of?
(There was no response.)
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: Anything further to say on the
Wasson property?
MR. WASSON: Would you clea~ this up in my mind:
there was a petition not too long ago on the property in
New Suffolk, Mrs. Roche's property. She wanted to sell it
and have it changed ~o Businessf~°mResidentia!. And fro~.,~
what I gathered the Board would allow that to be changed
to Business.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: You are asking me what the Board did?
MR. WASSON: Well, they left it as residential and
would not let it be changed for business. So if they did
2O
something for one why can't they do it for another?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: You have been misinformed. The
petition for a change of zone made by M~s. Roche was withdrawn
by ~rs. Roahe's attorney, Mr. Wiekham.
MR. SMITHSON: Sir, I presume that it is evident to
you gentlemen, your Honorable Board, as it is to all of us
here, t~hat the attempt to make this change from "A" to "B"
or the premise is that because of the Mattituck Park District
is building t~ls very nice bathlug beach, that this gentleman
is now going to cash in on this project. That appears to
be the premise; why he ~ants the change made. In other words,
there is uo money in keeping a lot of dirty, old second-hand
lumber in a lot, but there will be money made presumably
by changing that and putting up bungalows, or whatew~r he
intends to build the_~e. So the question is brought up and
brought up again, should this man be permitted to cash in
on the work of the Mattituck Park Commission, on which we
have all been taxpayers. We are not cashing in on it.
Why is it permitted for this man to do so?
(Applause)
MR. SMITHSON: Now, do you have any stated time when
you will make your decision and how will it be known? Is
it by publication, or will you notlf~y us by letter?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: If we change the zone from one
21
classification to another it will be pub lic is ed .
MR. S~ITHSON: In the Lgng Island Traveler?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: And the Suffolk Times.
MR. SMITHSON: Y~u use both?
SUPERVISOR ~ KLIPP ~ That's right.
MR. SMITH$ON: We will be on the lookout for it.
Any time ?
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: No. It has been suggested to do it
next in July.
2A MR. SMITN~ON: I would say next September or October.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: It is very diffieult for a Town
Board to make public hearings at a time and hour that is
suitable for everyone.
HET,W.N MacKENZIE (~attituck): They sneak this in when
a lot of the summer people are away in the winter time.
SUPERVISOR KLIPP: I don't like you to use the term
"sneak." If you brought a petition before the Town Board
we would try to dispose of it, and that's what we are doing
now.
MR. SMITHSON: Mr. Chairman and members of the Town
Board, I want to t~mnk you for the opportunity and the
courtesy you have extended to us.
MRS. PETERSON: Isn't it better to have eleven beautiful
homes on the block than a number of housing units with
transients. We don't know what type people are coming down
and who will own the motel.
SUPERVISOtf :~_LIPP: That' s rlF~ht. I think you will find
that in any conm~unity. I think as each and every one of you
have traveled around on vacations it is quite convenient when
you stop at a mote]., and they are a necemsity. However,
that has no bearing on what we do or don't do. If there
ere no others we will close the hearing for the further
determination of the Board insofar as the Wesson property
is concerned.

Zoning Board
Town of Southold ~
County of Suffolk, N. Y.
Dear Sirs:
In re Parcel of land, Mattituck, bounded
on North by Gaffney, East by Bay Avenue,
South by Peconic Bay Boulevard, and
West by District Line.
I represent the Marlene Lane Civic Association, Inc., which
Association is made up of forty home o~rners living on Ma~lene Lane,
who object strenuously to any changes in the existing zoning regu-
lations in connection with the captioned property. Our objections are based on the following:
When zoning was established, it was the opinion of the Board
that the neighborhood ~uder discussion was a residence a~ea, and
it thus was properly zoned "A" Residential.
Adjoining bay property was acquired by the town and the
public park and bathi~ beach are now being developed.
The acquisition of this property and the improvements thereon
are costly, and its benefits should accrue only to the reaidents
of Mattituck, and not to outsiders who would be attracted here by
small ambins and motels.
The new bathing beach and park are assets to all of Mattituck,
and they and the immediate vicinity should be maintained in an order-
ly and dignified manner, in keeping with the neighborhood, and, in
all fairness, to the adjoining home owners.
If a change in zoning to business were permitted, it would
enhance the value of the property under discussion, but why should
any owner be benefitted at the expense of the community of Matti-
tuck? Further, a change would establish a precedent, and the
adjoining owners on the North and the West would, undoubtedly,
want the same rights, with the result that the area would be
developed for profit and the results would be a "Honkey-Tonk",
or a little Coney Island, which would be very detrimental to the
sunronnding home owners who have invested large sums of money for
their homes and the proper rearing of their families.
We, therefore, pray and beg of you not to permit of this
change.
Very truly yours, · ~ ~/

Since 19~1, I have owned improved Froperty in Salt Lake Village, L~.atti-
tuck, w~ere during every s~aer, and at other times, I have resided.
Large s~s have oeen ~x~ended in improving my property, confident as I
have 0een, that these outlays, plus taxes, would never be frowmd upon
by any discriminatory, d~naging ~xercise of gov~r~ental authority.
i~maedia~e neighbors and those in and about the area d~scriaed in "1"
have done likewise in their a~arent ass~Ftion that no lowful author-
ity would imverfere in what always was and now is an unususlly quiet,
residential neighborhood on Peconic Bay. As for Salt L~ke Villa~se, I
am info,ed that t~e local assessor knows of no development on the Mortb
Fork compsra~le to it as a unique residential area. ~ ~r~erty is so
near ~l" that the amended ordin~nce would eventu~ll~ result in destroy-
ing ~]t L~ke Villas'e, as it n~w ~s, by ~a~ring its uni~e residen-
tic~l adw~nta~es, ~'orc~n~ s~les ~f o~r su~aer bo~es ~n~ r~S~c~n~ their
tax w~ 1~ t ions.
~i~e~tv Fears 8go, where my house and those of aF neighbors strand, was
swa~ ~n~ ~l~e water--worthl~ss and untaxa~le. It was the ~eni~s of
t~e ~ichards' ~rovhers who, from nothing, produced this attractive res-
idential area which has contriouted ma~erislly ~o the tax collections
of v~ll~, towa, count~, and s~ate, while asking ~or and ~_~ttin~ no

'fhe area is unusually valuable for ~ax ~ur~oses, located as t adjacent

~ithia the "1" area. %Tithin a mil~ of said area is Route 25, the main

Gentlemen:
Not bein7 able to attend the public hearing on December
5~ 1957 on the captioned proposal~ I ~ writing to protest such
a change.
Just recently I have made a considerable investment in a
private dwelling property in Salt La:we Village, which as yo~ know
practically adjoins the property on which a change is under con-
sideration and I feel that my investment would be impaired by a
chanye in zoning.
The Southold Town Board in my opinion is charged with the
responsibility to protect investments which are made [hat are a
benefit to the community.
In closin~ I urge the disallowance of the request for cha~ge

I wish to protest vigorously against

spect to that section of land in ~^~ttltuck d~-
scribed as follows:
Beginning at the Easterly side of
Bay Avenue,running YJesterly from the Gaffney
dine on Sigsbee Road,on Peconic ~ay BoUlevard.
Such a change in zoning will depreciate all
Real Estate values on property adjacent thereto,
thus lowering tax collections for the Town and
t~e only one to profit by the change would be
the Appelant wASSON.
I shall appreciate your reply.

Gentlemen:
As a resident and taxpayer I strongly
oppose the passage of any measure that will
change our present residential and agricultural
district to a business district~ to do so would
result in serious personal loss to all the resi-
dents of Salt Lake Village.
Salt Lake Village has expended large
sums of money for improvements~ expecting that _
the town of Southold would protect their invest
ments at all costs. The present proposal would
seriously impair the values of our properties~
therefore~ I urge upon you the defeat of this
~easure,

RE: Hearing on rezoning of Bay Avenue
from A to B zone, to be held on
December 5, 1957
Dear Sirs:
I am a property owner in Salt Lake Village in Mattituck,
owning lots 6 and 7 on Map #1310, which represents a
sizeable investment.
I hereby protest to the rezoning of Bay Avenue, as I feel
it will greatly impair the value of our property.
We, as a part of this community, have spent a lot of money
in improvements and upkeep, and look to the Township for
protection of our investment.
I feel that a change in the zoning will eventually be
felt on the tax rolls of the town, as a reduced value
will necessitate a re-assessment of our properties on a
lower standard.
I sincerely hope that you will disallow this change in
zoning.
Very

Gent~lemen~
I note from a newspaper advertisement that a
hearing will be held December 5, to amend the
zonimg ordinance by changing from #Am residential
to "B" business district the land in Mattituck,
bounded on the North by land of Oaffney, on the
East by Bay Avenue, on the South by Peconic Bay
Boulevard, and on the Nest by the District Line.
Unfortunately, due to an accident, I will be
unable to attend the aforesaid meeting.
As a resident of Salt Lake Village, Mattituck,
I vigorously oppose any such change.
I and my neighbors have spent much time and
mc~ey, over m~ny years, to develop the Ideal
Oceenunity. We look to the Township to protect
our investments, more so since the Township has
Just raised our assessed valuations.
May I repeat that I protest against this
change and ask that it be not allowed.
Sincerely,
