"Gentlemen, I respectfully request that the application for a
change of zone by the Woodhollow Properties, Inc., pertaining to
land owned by them on the north side of Route 25, near the Orient
State Park Entrance, be refused. It would ~o~ be in the best interest
of property owners in this area to have this change of zoning take
place.
"Sincerely, /s/ Peter E. Pappas."

"Dear Sirs: It has been brought to our attention that Woo~ho~low

Properties, Inc. is again applying to the Town Board for a change of
zone from "A" Residential and Agricultural to "B-2" Business District
at Orient Point.
"We wish to respectfully advise the Town Board that we are very
much opposed to such a change of zone. We feel that Oreint Point is
predominantly a residential and agricultural area and that our property
values will decrease if this change of zone is allowed.
"We urge the Town Board to keep Orient Point in the highest
zoning district and to deny the application for a changeof zone.

"Gentlement We understand that a hearing will be held on June
17 on a proposed change of zone from residential to business, of land
located opposite the entrance to Orient Beach State Park.
o "A change to Business would bring congestion, traffic hazards,
drainage problems, and marginal uses into this essentially residential
area and with the inevitable signs, billboards and other commercial
eyesores. The result will eventually affect the entire surrounding
area. It will also tend to decrease the value of residential property
in the vicinity.
"The highest possible zoning standards should be maintained on
properties adjacent to Parks and Parkways and as a matter of intelligent
and proper planning and zoning, we believe that this area should remain
in a Residence zone.
"We therefore urge your Board to reconsider this proposed mone
change and keep this property in a residential classification.

to help preserve the past, especially those traditions and values in
Orient° To maintain its purpose, the Society is, in general, opposed
to any downzoning which would be detrimental to these values.
"At the recent Annual Meeting, the proposed change of zoning
at Orient Point was discussed. It is not necessary in a brief letter
to present in detail the historic and scenic character of Orient Point,
which is well-kno~n and loved. However, the Oysterponds Historical
Socidty would like to have recorded that it strongly opposes the
change from residential to business zoning at Orient Point requested

"An application for re-zoning in this matter was submitted to the
proper authorities on December 14, 1964 and was numbered 131, receipt
~2694 was issued on that date acknowledging payment of the application

the description setting forth one of the distances as being 1174.95

the time that the hearing was to be had, that republication was
necessary. Publication was again had, noticing ~ hearing to be
held at 7:30 P.M., on July 13, 1965 at the office of the Supervisor,

By The Sea, and wishes to bring to the atts~tion of the Southold Town
Board that every conveyance that thas been made in either section has
contained a statement giving complete and adequate notice of an
intention to make this application. The verbatim statement set forth
in each one of the said conveyances is as follows:
" 'The Party of the second part is informed and hereby
acknowledges notice that the party of the first part contemplates
developing premises retained by the party of the first part and fronting
on and along Main Road to a depth of not less than ~00 feet nor more

fully for more than the past year. Prospective lessees have stated
to your applicant in discussion concerning a lease that the non-
residential characteristics of the location was a determining
factor in deciding not to lease.
"~.Your applicant feels that the granting of thie application would
result in the creation of needed service facilities for the use of local
residents, services that are not now immediately available. The re-
striction of this application to a "B-2" use, which provides for
such service facilities, would eventually result in added conveniences
to local residents.
"Your applicant requests that the Southo~ Town Board take
favorable action on this application for the reasons stated above
which establish that the subject property, because of the groEth
and development of the neighborhood, is no longer suited to residential
use but is suited to business use reflecting the natural and
inevitable extension of an existing area devoted to nonresidential
purposes.

included this statement which is quoted verbatim in that paper.

S~PERVISOR ALBERTSON: Anyone else wish to be heard in favor
of this change of zone?
EDWIN KING: I will speak in favor of it. We just voted to build
a new school house. Somebody has got to pay for that school for
our children. I have lived in Orient Point nearly 50 years. I have
seen Orient Point §~e~w grow alot. (mr. King went into his history
of working in Orient Point.)
We have 350 employees on Plum Island. Mrs. Young w~r~ sold
property to them for a parking field. We want to keep business in
that area and we need it. I don't like to fight my neighbors, but
I would like to see this change of zone.
SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON: Anyone else wish to speak in favor of this
change of zone?
(There was no response.)
SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON: Anyone wish to be heard in opposition to
this change of zone?
MRS. MARGRET YOUNG: Mr. Supervisor, · would like to take one
phrase from the letter from the State Park "intelligent and proper
planning an~ zoning". The Town Board intends to use a mas~er plan
for the Town of Southold. I think that an impDrtant situation like
this, changing a whole area of the Town should wait on the Master Plan
and then when the master plan does come through, we have a comprehensive
plan of the way we want the town zoned. I would like to see the Town
Board hold these large changes of zone until the Master Plan goes
through.
SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON: Anyone else wish to be heard in opposition
to t~ change of zone?
12
ORVILLE TERRY: The Planning Board should prevent down zoning,
but they go ahead a recommend a change ~ike this because they think
that they have sufficient reason. I think if you examine the
a~ arguments for this change, they don't hold very much water. Mr.
Edson said that services are needed for these people.° The people
that live there have gotten along without these services for a long
time and don't need them now. Just because they can't go get a
beer when they feel l~ke it, or go to a carnival when they feel
like it. These are services that they don't need.
As far as the argument about business districts already being
there~ we have an area of scenic beauty and interest to everyone
in Southold Town and New York State. It is part of our 325th
Anniversary celebration because we feel it is an historic area. We
don't want to have ann"honky tonk" down there. We can support our
church and our school without tur~ing to them for support. I am
opposed to this change of zone.

SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON:Anyone else wish to be heard in/~ave~ of
this change of zone?
LEFFERTS P. EDSON, ESQ.: I would just like to mention to this
gentlemen that the Town of Southold has created three businesses
zones. The original application we filed in December was for a
"B" zone. This application we now make is for a "B-2" district,
which is limited to what these people would consider a clean type
of business.
CONSTANCE TERRY: Once we have a "B-2" zone, what prevents it
from going further?
SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON: Hearing, such as we are having tonight.
LEFFERTS P. EDSON; ESQ.: The "B-2" Business District provides
for the highest type of business.

"B" district to an "A" district?

MARY CHAPMAN: May I ask one more question? You said you had
one change ~ from "B" to "A" district. Therefore, the greatest
per centage of change of zones is for down zoning?
SUPERVISOR ALBERT~ON: The bulk of the Town of Southold was in
an "A" district at the time the Ordinamce was passed. Since then~
there has been the need to make changes.
(Supervisor Albertson then explained to Mrs. Chapman how the
original zoning board was set up, and that there was no longer a
zoning board, there is now a planning board.)
SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON: Anyone else wish to be heard?
MRS. PRINCE: I hope I don't hurt the feelings of the people
in Greenport, but the entrance to Greenport is pretty awful. Orient
Point is a beautiful entrance to Long I~land. I feel this way as
a resident of Orient. I don't think it is only sentiment, it is
because of the beauty that everyone has enjoyed.
IRVING LATHAM: I don't think that it is necessary to add any
more business here at this time.

In the Matter of
the Application of
WOODHOLLOW PROPERTIES, INC.
for re-zoning from "A" to "B-2" of
property at Plum Island Lane,
Orient, New York
X
An application for re-zoning in this matter was submitted
to the proper authorities on December 14, 1964 and was numbered
131, receipt $2694 was issued on that date acknowledging payment
of the application fee. The original application requested a
change from an "A" district ~se to a "B" district use. Thereafter
the application was amended to change the request from "B" to "B-2'~
in view of subsequent changes made in the Southold Town Zoning
ordinance. The application was advertised for a hearing to be had
on June 17, 1965 together with other applications for re-zoning.
However, due to a published error in the description setting forth
one of the distances as being 1174.95 feet instead of 174.95 feet,
it was determined by the Town Board at the time that the hearing
was to be had, that republication was necessary. Publication was
again had, noticing a hearing to be held at 7:30 P.M. on July 13,
1965 at the office of the Supervisor, at which this application is
the only one to be heard.
Your applicant herewith presents the following points to the
Southold Town Board members to show that this application conforms
with the land uses presently existing in the immediate vicinity, that
the application can not be held to be a spot-zoning application, and
that there is no other reasonable use to be expected in the future
for these premises other than that being applied for:
~. The uses presently existing from the end of Route 25 at
the water westerly to the subject property number among them the
following:
1. Ferry and office.
2. Jiffy Restaurant.
3. Ferry parking area.
4. Orient Point Inn.
5. Plum Island parking area and Marina.
6. Plum Island receiving station and warehouse.
7. Orient Point Marina.
8. Orient Beach State Park highway entrance.
9. Real estate office.
10. Farm produce retail vending stands.
These uses occupy the whole of the easterly, westerly and
southerly sides of Route 25, as well as a substantial portion of
the northerly side. In view of these numerous nonresidential uses
your applicant feels that it is furthering the established mode of
development in this community in the making of this application.
~. Your applicant is the developer of Sections I and II,
Orient-By-The-Sea, and wishes to bring to the attention of the
Southold Town Board that every conveyance that has been made in
either section has contained a statement giving complete and ade-
quate notice of an intention to make this application.
statement set forth in each one of the said conveyances
follows:
The verbatim
is as
"~The party of the second part is informed and
hereby acknowledgesinotice that the party of the
first part contemplates developing premises re~
tained by the party of the first part and front-
ing on and along Main Road to a depth of not less
than 200 feet nor more than 400 feet for business
uses and purposes, and the party of the second part,
by the acceptance of the deed hereunder, covenants
and agrees for themselves, their successors and
assigns, that they have no objections thereto and~
waive any right of objection that may hereafter ac-
crue by reason thereof, and further covenants an~~
agrees to execute and acknowledge any and all in-
struments deemed necessary by the party of the first
part in furtherance of and to effectuate such develop-
ment."
~. Your applicant owns a residence located in the easterly
part of the subject premises which it has held out for rent unsuccess-
fully for more than the past year. Prospective lessees have stated
to your applicant in discussion concerning a lease that the non-
residential characteristics of the location was a determining factor
in deciding not to lease.
~. Your applicant feels that the granting of this applica-
tion would result in the creation of needed service facilities for
the use of local residents, services that are not now immediately
available. The restriction of this application to a "B-2" use,
which provides for such service facilities, would eventually re-
sult in added conveniences to local residents.
Your applicant requests that the Southold Town Board take
favorable action on this application for the reasons stated above
which establish that the subject property, because of the growth
and development of the neighborhood, is no longer suited to resi-
dential use but is suited to business use reflecting the natural
and inevitable extension of an existing area devoted to nonresidential
purposes.

Dear Sirs:
The purpose of the Oysterponds Historical
Society is to help preserve the past~ especially
those traditions and values in Orisnt. To maintain
its purpose, the Society is, in general, opposed
to any downzoning which would be detrimental to
these values.
At the recent Annual Meeting, the proposed
change of zoning at Orient Point was discussed.
It is not necessery in a brief letter to present
in detail the historic and scenic character of
Orient Point, which is well-known and loved.
However, the Oysterponds Historical Society would
like to have recorded that it strongly opposes the
change from residential to business zo~g at
Orient Point requested by Woodhollow and Associates,
Inc.
Thank you for any consideration you give
this letter, for we deeply wish that the dignity
and beauty of our American heritage be preserved.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Sirs:
Il has been brought to our attention that Woodhollow Properties, Inc.
is again applying to the Town ]Board for a change of zone from "A"
Residential and Agricultural to "B-2" Business District at Orient
Point.
We wish to respectfully advise the Town Board that we are very much
opposed to such a change of zone. We feel that Orient Point is pre-
dominantly a residential and agricultural area and that our property
values will decrease if this change of zone is allowed.
We urge the Town Board to keep Orient Point in the highest zoning
district and to deny the application for a change of zone.

Gentlemen:
We understand that a hearing will be held on June 17 on a proposed
change of zoning from residential to business, of land located opposite the
entrance to Orient Beach State Park.
A change to Business would bring congestion, traffic hazards, drainage
problems and marginal uses into this essentially residential area and with the
inevitable sigms, billboards and other commercial eyesores. The result will
eventually affect the entire surrounding area. It will also tend to decrease the
value of residential property in the vicinity.
The highest possible zoning standards should be maintained on prop-
erties adjacent to Parks and Park~vays and as a matter of intelligent and proper
plam~ing and zoning, we believe that fl:is area should remain in a Residence zone.
We therefore urge your Board to reconsider this proposed zone change
and keep this property in a residential classification.
Sincerely,
Counsel
