WHEREAS at'a meeting of t~his Board held on the 7th day of May, t974,
a resolution was duly adopted granting the application of Bruce A.
Norris for a change of zone of premises at Mattitu¢~, Town of
Sou~hold, New York, from "A" Residential and Agricultural Dis%rict
to'~" Light Multiple Residence District, and
-~EREAS the aforesaid resolution a~opted by this Board on May 7, 1974
inadvertently omitted to set forth therei~ the reasons for ~ejecting
the Suffolk County Planning Commission's report with respect to Such
application in accordance with the provisions of the Suffblk Cou-nty
Charter,
NOW, THEREFORE, ~ IS RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:.
The aforementioned resolution of th'is Board adopted on May .7,
1974 is hereby amended by adding thereto this Board's reasons for
rejecting the Suffolk County Planning Commission-'s report disapproving
the proposed change of zone, said reasons being as follows:
1. The Norris ~remises are.located south of New Suffolk Avenue
which is south of New York Route 25. The Comprhhensive Development
Plan of the Town of Southold recommends that major residential develop-
ment should be directed to the areas south of Route 25. The rez0ning
of the subject property to ~ight Multiple Residenc~ use therefor is in
conformity with the Comprehensive Bevelopment Plan.
2. The Norris property is located southeast of and in the
immediate vicinity Of the established retail shopping area of the
hamlet 'of Mattituck. The comprehensive plan of the Town of Southold
recommends that attached h~use developments of medium den-sity 'as
proposed in the application be located in areas in the vicinity of
established shopping centers.
3. The applicant has given assurances that a central water: supply
system and a tertiary s~werage system will be installed on the. premises.
The engineering report of Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell submitted
to the Board in conjunction with the application indicated that the
water system to be installed will be so designed as to be able to
provide a water supply not only for the property in question but also
to adjoining areas which presently are experiencing problems in obtain-
ing water by individual wells. The planned sewerage system will
recharge renovated waste water thereby conserving the available water
supply in the general area. Such a system will also reduce the
contamination of the underground water supply, which would not be the case
if the property were developed with individual homes with individual
cesspools.
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, t~at the Town Clerk transmit a copy of
this resolution to the Suffolk County Planning Commission.
