';7-?9 - iv - RLC:65:051 PREFACE This report represents the first analysis of data collected in Southold Tovm, Long Island, New York in the summer of 1964 by represent- atives of the Rural Sociology Department, Cornell University. The contract, signed between the New Yorh State Department of Co~nerce and the He~.~ York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, outlined projects which were essential to a total planning study progra~ for the To~n of Southold~ Long Island~ New York· The part of the contract for which the Department of Rural Sociology is responsible states: Ob~jectives: a) Measure the econon~ic contributions of summer residents. b) Determine sociological characteristics of permanent and part-time residents. c) Describe the manner and extent of participation of sunm~er residents in the comrm~nity structure. d) ~2ke an evaluation of the planning process. e) Using Southold Town as an example, study urban expansion and change in small, satellite com- munities · This report speaks to each of the five objectives. The reader must bean in mind ~chat the total Southold study is a joint effort involving three acade~ic departments of the College of Agriculture at Cornelk University: Agricultural Economics, Conservation, and Rural Sociolu~?j. ~.Paen evaluating the total import of this study, all reports must be sidered jointly. (Please see Appendix B for the description of the objectives of the Agricultural Economics arid Conservation departments. ) The Rural Sociology Department plans several other detailed reports in addition to this one. ~2¢o articles for professional journals are planne~; one on the analysis of the population's attitude toward "planning," aha ~u~other on the role of the discipline of sociology in the planning process. Hopefully, a Ph.D. dissertation will be written utilizing our Southoid Towr~ data. In addition, we are planning a descriptive account of the total plannin~ process as it is exemplified in Southold To%~n. All of these reports will, of course~ be made available to the Town of Southold. The author feels much gratitude to ~%ny people. ~,k. Jolu~ Chair~n of the Southold Town Planning Board, brought this study £nto being, l{e impressed us with his for~;ard visior~ and ideas, and he helped us immeasurably. 5k-. Lester Albertson~ To%;n Supervisor~ and the Southold Tovm Board were of great assistance. The newspapers~ the businesses, and the people of the to%~n ther, melves were always helpful. The ta:~ assessors, ~,~c. ~r. Fox, ~,Ms. Brown, Mr. Fickeissen~ ~,'t~. Garelle, I,k~. Tabor, ~%d ~.;~. Terry. the building inspector, gave a great deal of their tir.~e and worked tionally hard for us during the sampling stages of this project. Their RLC :65:051 ability and knowledge of the to%n~ impressed us all and enabled us %o accom- plish muct~ more than we had ever planned. Interdisciplinary research is never easy and is often filled with so many problems that its value is limited. In this case, however, it was a pleasurable experience and extremely rewarding. Professor David Allee of Agricultural Economics and Mr. Bruce Uilkins of Conservation made it so. Js~es Doyle and Kenneth Hadden spent the entire summer in Southold, starting and finishing the field work. Their work was excellent. ~'Ir~ Haddez~ also helped on the data analysis for this report. Wesley Craig also helped with the interviewing for a month. ~rs. Nancy Altobellis served as secretary and helped us in many ways during all phases of the project. The author wishes to state that he~ of course, will be available to consult with the to%~n concerning aspects of this report and other segments of the study project. Robert L.

Plying the ~uture of a population necessardly involves the field of psycholo~y~ T~-~ough v~ious ~ts, the Federal Gover~e~, in co~ljunct~on state ~d loc~ gover~nts, has made several sources of iimds available. These f~ds provide for the collection of a portion of the data necessar~ for thorou~ plying. RLC :65:051 This report is one segment of a study undertaken by the Agricultural Econoz~ics Department~ the Conservation Department, and the R~ural Sociology Department of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell Univer- sity. It is entitled "A Study of Social, Economic, and Natural Resources for Planning Purposes in Southold Town, Long Island, New York." This study is partially financed by Federal and State "701" Funds and will provide planners with some of the information they require as they continue the pls~ning process in Southold Town. The information reported here ~ill be made available to all inter- ested parties: the Southold Town Board, the Southold Town Planning Board, the professional planners hired by the town, and interested town's people and citizen groups. Planning is a ubiquitous activity. The acts which "shape'~ a town, for example, are performed not only by professional planners, but by many people in many occupations and many stations of life. A colleague is fond of distinguishing between planning with a capital "P" and planning with a small "p." The capital "P" planning stands for the professional or academic discipline - Planning. The small "p" planning represents all of the efforts of people in an area who rationsd_ly do something to shape the future of that area. Laymen as well as professionals will find this report useful. The report will begin with a brief historical account of Southold Town. Because several strong impressions were gained about Southold - ix - RLC:65:051 during the administration of the survey, some of the auti]or's value judg- ments and observations concerning the town are a~so presented in the first section. In tae second part of the report Southold Town will be describe~ in terms of several important social characteristics and compsa-ed with East Hampton (because it is similarl~v located at the far eastern tip of Long Island and makes up the South Fork, as Southold makes up the North Fork of the Island), with Suffolk County, and with New York State. The third section describes the effect of urban expansion (New York City's) on Long Island and, consequently, on Southold Town. Popula- tion estimates and trends are also calculated and discussed. In the fourth part of the report the characteristics and attitudes of the population are analyzed, and a comparison between per~,~anent ~d part-time residents is presented. This section contains most of the basic information requested by the town. The fifth section (Appendix A) is~ in the author's opinion, the useful, for all the information gathered in our house-to-house survey [s presented here in a convenient form. The data is presented in a series of tables, and a brief explanation of their use and interpretation precedes them. These tables should be consulted when seeking answers to questions about Southold Town. Throughout the planning and surveying stages of this project~ the author sought some effective method of making a~l oi' the per- tinent information collected available to the town officials. It is hoped that Appendix A satisfies this wisn. RLC :65:051 Appendix B summarizes the Project Contract, Appendix C presents the household questionnaire, and Appendix D describes the sampling pro- cedure o - xi - RLC :65:051 Chapter I. EVALUATIVE OBSERVATIONS A quotation fro~a a historical raarker is cited at the beginning of ti~is docta~ent because it catches the total and unique flavor of a socio- logical analysis of Southold Town. Southold ls truly the place :~here the ~oresent meets up closely with the distant past, and this meeting has con- tributed to many varying contrasts. A retention of old New England atmos- phere do,[~inates the new Long Island way of life. Southold is a place where agriculture is rich and predominant; a place where stum.~er vacation life abounds; a far~.~ place in the path of urban e~pansion. It is here ~here uniquely youth ..~eets age, where far~rz go down to the sea, where expressways charge tl~rough 19th century small towns. I~ Southold, fur.- seeking bathers on their way to the beach pass migrant laborers toili~,g in the fields. Sunsets not only glisten on sound and bay, but also on the thousands of jets of irrigation water shooting from miles of pipes. Wealth and poverty are near and contrast. Big city supermarkets and mercialism ~.tixes with small to~rn fairs and rural Fourth of July picnics. Water predominates the scene in Southold To¢cn. The ocean is to the east, Long Island Sound to the north, and Peconic and Gardiner Bays to the south. Including ponds and inlets, it is probable that 75 per cent of the to~rn's population lives within view of water. - 1 - ?~LC :6 5:0 51 The ~ater~ the sand, the his%ory~ the agriculture, the homes and home sites, the clean and quiet villages, and the picturesqu,~ harbors all attract visitors by the thousands and cause the residents speak of their to~;n with pride. The to~zn leaders and many of the citizens and sun~ner vacationers expecu the to%~n to change~ however. It ~-~as the exception rather ~;han the rule ~;hen the prospect of change was nsf men~ioned in oar many vie%~s and discussions x~i-ch %he to~n's people and uhe~r leaders. %~ne people of Sou;hold ~o~al often drive ~;est 5o i,!e~; Yorl[ Ci'~)~. l~Iany of the summer vacationers travel ~he long rou~e ou-b Long Island '~'.~. Sou%hold. These people have witnessed the expansion of i.~e~., York City out Lon~ Island~ through Queens and ~assau County and into a~uffoll{ County. ~4any remember how Nassau County used to be~ and '~hey can i% to '¢heir own area today. They wonder hov long it %~ill be ~[il chan~es start occurring further east, 5hrough Suffolk Coun~~ bo Rivcrhead and into Sou~hold To~n. A bridge has been proposed which would lin][ Long Island Southold Town) with Rhode Island and ~ith an exi~ co Connecticut. has been said and written about %his bridge. I.~umerous articles and concerning the bridge have appeared in the I~iew York Times~ ~;hich is in Southold. The Newsaday has often reported on i%. Indeed~ man3~ papers across the country have carried stories concerning this bridge. A commission has been formed to study the feasibility of this brid~e. RLC:65:051 The people of Southold Town know about the bridge; they are con- cerned about it, and they discuss its ramifications often. When asked whether they had heard about the proposed bridge, 96 per cent of our sample answered "yes." Seventy per cent thought it would be built in the next 30 years, whereas 14 per cent said they just didn't know. Fifty per cent were in favor of it~ and 34 per cent were against it, while the rest were indifferent or could not answer. It is interesting to note that 60 per cent of the permanent residents, as compared to 37 per cent of the part-time residents ("s~m~er people"), were in favor of it. Associated with the knowledge of Long Island's population gro~h and with the knowledge of the bridge is a strong belief that change is coming to Southold Town. When asked whether or not the to~n had changed in the last five years, 63 per cent of the population answered "yes." ~en asked whether the town will change in the next five years, 71 per cent answered "yes," ~O per cent answered "no," ao~ the rest were not sure. From all of our studies and inquiries, it seems highly improbable that change will not occur to Southold To~.. ~e magnitude of the change and the time sequence of the change, however, are moot questions. During our reviews of newspapers, we were struck with the frequent appearance of articles concerning Southold To~a. The New York Times and the Newsaday carry story after story concerning Southold. Some of the stories conceru possible building in Southold (a desalination plant, which eventually located in Riverhead, a new canal, new water plants, new electric plants, government installations, and possible ne~ industries RLC :65 -4- not to include the previously mentioned bridge). All this concerr~ and attention begets further concern and attention, which is associated with growth and change. Another reason for anticipating population gro~.rth and associated changes is the pattern of occupational conmauting. A rather sharp line could be dra~rn across Long Island at Smithto~.rn demarcating the area beyond which commuting to New York City is not feasible. Population size, gro~;th, and density decline markedly beyond this line. tt is possible~ however, that business concerns and offices uill decentralize out to Hassau County and western Suffolk County. They could, in a sense. follow the population spread. If this occurs, more jobs may be available in 1.Iassau and western Suffolk, and then commuting fro~., eastern Lon~z Island to these places of employment will not be a great proslem. Furthermore, as the expressways are pushed eastwa~d, facilities improve, co~miuting distances in terms of time a~d cost decrease There is every indication that some connection between eastern Long Island and the "mainland" will be constructed. If this connectio~ is built from Southold, the gro~-~th and change it creates ~.~il! be extreme. This connection would cause Southold to be at the mid-point betwee]~ Boston and New York City and would be a strategic location for :~any acti'~- ities. If the connection is not from Southold~ or if it is far in the future, some gro~rth will still occur. Southold is an ideal sultrier location. Land for sua,m~er homes nas disappeared or declined drastically in western, RLC:65:051 Long Island. The population seeking this type of land use will push eastward to East Hampton and Southold. The value-laden question, "Is the upcoming change good or bad?", cannot be evaded. A social scientist would not want to attack this question, but planners must consider it. Those people in the sample who thought the to~m would change in the next five years were asked, ~ill it change?" All but a few predicted population and economic growth. Some of these also attached attitudinal statements to their answers. Of these, 60 per cent thought the change would be for the better, and 40 per cent for the worse. When asked specifically what effect the bridge would have if it were built, many people elicited value-type statements. Half of them sa~.~ the effects as generally "good"; half as "bad." It is interesting to note that more of the permanent residents thought "good" results would ensue than "bad," whereas more of the part- time residents thought "bs~i" effects would result rather than "good." Is the present shape (geographic, social, physical, econormic, and architectural) of Southold Town of such a nature that it should be preserved? Should certain impediments to change be attempted? Should the mechanics to control change be sought? Can certain aspects of the town be changed and others preserved? If so, which ones should change? Should grov/ch be taken for granted? Will growth occur so that certain aspects of the town change and not others? Can growth be impeded? Can it be controlled so that the preservation of certain aspects can be accomplished, while others change? RLC:65:~6L These and many other questions are asked by the to~.~L leaders, planning board and planning consultants, and interestem citizens. Tl~ese questions cannot be answered definitely~ but most people asstuae that can be controlled and change can be channeled s~d directed. The thoug~ts of the people regarding the shape of the town shed some light on the above questions. The permanent residents were ashed~ "How many more yea:~s do you believe you will make Southold your permanent residence?" Ninety-three per cent answered that it ~zoui¢~ be ~.'ell over ten years, or the rest of their lives. ~en asked whether they ha~: contemplated moving, only 13 per cent answered "yes" and included an opinion of why they h~d thought of n.oving. One per cent staZem t,~at increasing taxes '~,~ere the problem, and one per cent said that the of the towr. isolated them. Three per cent pinpointed poor emploz~.~ent probler, m; six per cent generally stated that they thought it would be better for them elsewhere. T~o per cent had moved from Southold but retturned. Most of the population found no probleras of a n~anitude cause them to consider r.:oving. On the other hand, when the permanent residents who had children living at home were asked whether riley believea that their children would make their per~mnent homes in Southold as aCults, a little over 60 per cent stated that they would not because tnere was no economic future for them there. Forty-four per cent of the permanent population thought that slow pace, peace and quiet, and general suburban or rural atmosphere was the nicest thing about Southold Town. Fifteen per cent said tile fine RLC:65:O51 -7- people had to be the nicest thing about Southold, and 18 per cent said the recreation facilities were the best attribute. When asked what was least desirable about Southold, 34 per cent of the permanent residents said "nothing." The rest were rather evenly distributed over govern- ment services (taxes, etc.), personal and economic services, location, and lack of employment. The part-time residents (summer vacationers and people with summer homes) were asked why they started coming to Southold for vacations. Fourteen per cent said they had been there before with their parents when they were children; 13 per cent said they had been th_rough the area and liked it as a possible vacation spot; 54 per cent, though, said that they had friends or relatives ~ho either lived in Southold or vacationed there and told them of the area (the old story of advertising through word of mouth, or "a satisfied customer is the best advertise~uent"). Almost all of the "summer people" (as they are called by pernmnent resi- dents) stated that they are planning to return to Southold in future Over half of the su~mmer residents interviewed stated that they contemplated making Southold their permanent residence. Thirty-seven per cent of this group stated that it would be after their retirement, 20 per cent said that it would be before, and 16 per cent were not sure. Fifty-five per cent of the part-time residents reported that they believed their children would spend summers in Southold when they were adults, 17 per cent were not sure, while 22 per cent had no children or the question did not apply to them. RLC:65:O5i Each of the households in our sample w~s given a long list of social, business, and pelitical services to evaluate. They were asked whether they found them to be excellent, good, fair, poor, or bad. For almost all of the services listed, by far the largest percentage fell in the excellent or good category. A few of these services, however, were listed as being fair or poor by most of the population. ~en the popula- tion was asked whether there were any land uses in the area that caused problems, 68 per cent answered "none," 15 per cent did not give an answer, 3.5 per cent mentioned dumps as a problem, and several of the fa~lies mentioned fish factories and fuel oil storage tanks as somewhat of a problem. To sun~n~rize the answers to the "planning" questions stated earlier, satisfaction with the area is a general characteristic of the population, and most have made a commitment to the area by buying a home. The serene, quiet, or rural atmosphere was often quoted by both permanent and part- time residents as the overwheln~ng reason for their satisfaction with the area. The population of Southold Town likes the area as it is. They see change coming and they are somewhat apprehensive of it. ~en the part-time residents were asked what would be the one major occurrence in the Southold area which would cause them to think of going elsewhere for the summers, 26 per cent answered increased population and accompany- ing business development, and 43 per cent said that they could think cf nothing that would cause them to go elsewhere. This, in a general way, RLC:65:051 is a summary of public opinion. Should the town attempt to plan in terms of the population's values? Should it attempt to impede change? If so, can it? ~any people who have not studied in detail the behavior of popula- tions or the sociological implications of a population's behavior, often state that planning should first of all be concerned with the values of the people that the plan will affect. This thought~ on the surface, is a worthwhile one and seems uncomplicated. People expressing this thought often look to the sociologists to provide the answers. A sociologist is extremely wary of this request. The values of individ~la, ls are extremely complicated phenomemon, and in a complex industrial society they are selden homogeneous. Very few areas in the United States could be simply planned to satisfy the desires and wishes of the total population. The people living in local areas in the United States such as Southold Town belong to many and various interest groups. The interests of one group might conflict with those of another. It is quite improbable that a plan could be devised that would satisfy all groups and all people. Often these groups overlap in their membership and~ consequently, it often is difficult to write a plan which would even begin to satisfy the majority of the population at all times. The way in which the data in Southold Town was collected enables us to analyze this particular problem in a rather specific way. The following tables (Tables i through 5) are examples of the heter- ogeneous value behavior which has Just been described. Table i demonstrates that people with higher incomes are less likely to believe that the town - £0 - will change in a positive way within the next few years. TABLE 1. Four Income Categories and ~ether the Town Will Change Positively or Negatively. (Question: If you believe the town will change in the next five years~ how will it change?) Income Positive Change Negative Change ~otal* 0 - $6,999 $7,000 - $10,99W $11,000 - $24,999 $25,000 and over 6d.o% 31.3~ 16/100~ 60.0 40:0 20/100~ 5o.o 5o.o 16/loog 0.0 100.0 * In this table and every succeeding table, the population size in each category will be reported as a total and the total percentage figure in the category will immediately follow it. Table 2 demonstrates a strong relationship between income anG attitude toward the bridge. The higher a person's income the less likely he is to be in favor of the proposed bridge linking Southoid To~.~ wit[; Rhcde Island and Connecticut. This table is an extremely important one, for as we have stated earlier, practically the total population has learne~ about the bridge and is concerned about it. In the people's ~nds~ it seems that the future of the town is closely linked with the bridge. So,ac of the people seem to think that the bridge will bring good or greater prosperity - more jobs - consequently, a higher standard of living for the t~n. Son~ of the people moved to Southold beca'~se of the prevailing RLC:65:051 quiet subttrban and rural atmosphere and are against the proposed bridge because they do not want the kinds of changes that the bridge will bring. We have demonstrated that the higher income categories are more opposed to the bridge than are the middle income categories, and that the lower income categories are very much in favor of it.

For example, we asked, "Are you in favor of new highway and expressway construction in Southold Town?" Table B indicates that as the age of the population increases, the less they are in favor of new h~ghway construction. In fact, the population over 45 years of age is more opposed to new highway :65:05~ construction than they are in favor of it, and the differences between those opposed and those in favor increase as the age categories increase. TABLE 3. Age Categories and Acceptance of New Highway and Expressway Construction in the Town.

Table 4 demonstrates that there is a similar difference between republican and democrat on the question of highway construction as there was between young and old. The republicans are more opposed to new high- way construction than are the democrats. TABLE 4. Political Affiliation Categories and Acceptance of New Highway and Expressway Construction in the Town.

Table 5 is just one example of the differences between the permanent and part-time residents. Generally, the permanent residents are more inclined to look for change and want it; the part-time residents, having invested in real estate in Southold Town because of the conditions that prevail there, are more opposed to change and are not looking forward to it. TABLE 5- Permanent - Part-Time Residence Categories and Acceptance of the Proposed Bridge. (Question: Are you in favor of the proposed bridge linking Southold with Connecticut?) Residence Yes No Indifferent Total Permanent 61.5% 30.1% ~.4% 296/100% Part-time 40.0 46.5 13.5 170/100% The above tables are just a few examples of the differences between people when they are asked about certain values toward change and certain observations about change. It can generally be said that the higher the income category of the population, the less likely they are to believe that the town has changed much in the last five years and that it will change in the next five years. They are also less likely to think that RLC:65:05! - 14 - if the town will change in the next five yea~s, that it will be a positive change. The higher income categories are n~re opposed to various kinds of zoning innovations~ various kinds of construction like sewage water systems~ highway systems~ etc. which will be attractive to new population and will, of course~ increase the tax rate. The older the population is in $outhold Town~ the less likely they are to look for liberal changes in the town. Republicans are less likely to note general changes and are also less likely to want them than are democrats. Religious affiliation also differentiates the population on questions of observed change and the attitudes of the population toward it. The question for the town leaders then becomes~ "What group or sets of groups will be affected in a positive or negative way by their planning procedures?" Another question is~ "Will the majority of the population be affected positively or negatively by certain planning procedttres?" A thir~ question and an extremely important one is, "What kind of population in terms of income~ age~ political affiliation~ etc. will be moving into Soutf~old Town in future years?" Will the planning that goes on today attract them in the future, will it repel them~ will it attract the type of population that the town of Southold would like to have move into their area~ or will it attract a different type of population? Tables 1 through 5 anc the remarks concerning them should aid the tovnl in analyzing the above questions and in coming to some tentative answers to them. It is important to consider in this type of analysis the fact of overlapping membership in various so-c-.lied interest groups. It could be that a higher income person is also an older person~ b~ it could also be RLC:65:051 that a higher income person is younger. It could be that a republican is older, or it could be that a republican is younger. One cannot look to see what the overwhelming majority of the population is and then plan in terms of that particolAr majority. It is clear and evident that there are many more republicans in Southold Town than democrats. One could think of assuming that the values expressed then by the republicans would express the majority value opinion in Southold Town. Unfortunately, this is not so because different kinds of social, ~olStics.l~ and econo~ic questions will affect people in terms of different dimensions. Sometimes they will answer a question in terms of their political affiliation, other times in terms of their age, other times in terms of their income, other times in terms of combinations of these put together. The import of this section has been~ then, to demonstrate that certain kinds of character- istics that individuals hold~ such as age, income, religion~ etc. affect their behavior and their attitude in different ways. Consequently, if the planning procedure is going to take values into account, it must remember that the complicated interweaving of individual chamacteristics has a peculiar effect on the values and beliefs that people express. There- fore, asking "~nat are the values of the people?" is a most difficult question and may cause great problems for the planner. The town of Seuthold, the~ will probably undergo some degree of change. ~he.de~ee of change that occurs will vary with certain conditions that appear in Southold Town, such as whether or not the bridge will be under construction, will New York City continue to push out Long Island, RLC:65:O51 - 16 - will industry relocate further out Long Island, and many other conditions that would give rise to a certain degree of change in Southold T~n. The number of these conditions that appear, of course, will affect the magnitude of the change that occurs in Southold Town. Southold is not unaccustomed to change. In its lengthy history, n~ny technological and population changes have occurred and have affected Southold To~n. Hi-torically, Southoldwas a hunting and agricultural area; it was a fishing center and contributed to Long Island's whaling industry. With the cessation of these functions and industries, Southold took on new functions and new industries. Change occurred and the town adapted. In recent history, the war had a very strong effect on Southold Town. Greenport, the major center in the town of Southold, has the only deepsea port on all of Long Island. Due to its strategic location for certain naval operations, a naval base was built there. This wartime insta3_lation, of course, caused the economy of Southold Town to boom for certain periods. The people adapted to that change. Now it is facing several other possible changes - one of great population grov~h and one of construction of a r~jor bridge that would affect Southold's econon$~ as well as that of the whole nation. It is not unwise to think that Southold Town will again adapt to the changes if they occur. i~ne influx of part-time residents in Southold Town has been one of the major changes in the to~rnship. The extensive and beautiful shoreline completely rings the North Fork of Long Island. There are cliffs, many beautiful beaches, as well as harbors, inlets, and points. The boating, RLC:65:O51 - 17 - fishing, and swimming facilities are superb; the weather is ideal. People seeking these vacationing conditions have come to Southold Town, have bought land, and have built homes. These "summer" people or part-time residents do not participate much in the tow~ affairs; they very seldom vote in the town. They are, in effect, residents of other townships and other communities. They own land in Southold for vacationing purposes only. These people are generally of high income, high education, and high ~ccupational backgrounds. They are generally good additions to a community. During the summer, they definitely spur the ec~nom~ of Southold Town. Down the center of Southold ~own one finds vast agricultural pro- duction. Agriculture is probably the major contributor to the economy of the town. There are few farms, relatively speaking, but they are of such size and productive capacity that they provide great income to the economy of Southold. The farms also provide a certain kind of scenery and atmosphere which has attracted many of the part-time residents. There are, of course, unsightly developments in Southold Town. There is a blighted area in Greenport, the major center of the township. There are many unsightly strips along certain of the roads and some dilapidated housing along certain of the highways, but generally the town is well kept, clean, and scenic. The scenery varies from sandy dunes, harbor villages reminiscent of Cape Cod, to forested knolls and extensive views of oce~us and islands to the west and to Connecticut to the north. As the future unfolds, the town officials will be faced with many problemm of planning. Attracting certain developments into Southold to RLC :65:05i raise the standard of living for permanent residents will be important. Providing more occupations and income for permanent residents arid their children, while at the sa~e time maintaining the vast shoreline of the township to attract new vacationers and to retain those who have moved into the to%rnship will be difficult. The growing recreation industry will undoubtedly develop~ and guiding its development will be difficult Too rauch emphasis on the recreational facilities will bring too ma~y people to Southold just for daytime use, necessarily causing some of the other attractions of the town to decline because of it. Not enough recreational development will bring insufficient income to the services during the summer~ The preceding discussion has been presented to help the town c ials, the planning board, and the planning consultants gain a perspec~i'~e of Southold Town. This perspective should help them to ask the kinds questions they wish to answer and also~ hopeful].y, to give some leads int~, the way they want the questions answered. R~:o5.051 Chapter II. SOUTHOLD IN THE CENSUS In this section~ various characteristics of the town will be compared to those of the state, the county, and other townships. With this comparison, we will be able to see where Southold is unique, where it is similar to other places in the State or to the State as a whole. This information will enable us to have a framework within which we car analyze the data from our survey and provide a general picture of Southold as of 1960. The census characteristics of Southold Town are basic sets of information which enable us to better interpret our survey data. This particular section can be used as a supplement to reports published by the Suffolk County Planning Board. The publication entitled "Population: Suffolk County" is particularly useful in this connection, but all of the publications are excellent and will provide background material for the analysis of Southold Town. Another publication of particula~ use to parties interested in Southold is the publication from the Rural Sociology Department at Cornell University written by Olaf F. Larson and Ali A. Paydarfar entitled "The People of Suffolk County, New York." This particular publication is one of a series for each county in the State. This series provides information that one may use to compare Suffolk County with other counties and enables one to appreciate Southold Town's position and role in Hew York State. - 19 - RLC :65:05i - 20 - In 1960, New York State had a total population of almost 1.7 ::.itl~cn people. Suffolk County made up 666,734 of that total, and Southold To~ counted 13,295 in the 1960 Census. New York State grew from 1940 to 196o, but not at an extremely rapid rate as did some states in the Nation. in 1940, New York State had about 13.5 million people. Suffo33: County, bow- ever, is growing quite rapidly. In 1940, it had a population cf 197,355. Between 1940 and 1960, then, Suffolk County exhibited tremendous population gro~th. It could we1] be the fastest or second fastest gro~.fing county in the Nation. As you can see from Table 1, though, Southold Town~ did not eon- tribute to the rapid rate of growth in Suffolk County. In 1940, there were 12 thousand people - an increase of only one thousand from 1940 to t960. Between 1940 and 1950, Southold Town even declined somewhat in population size. TABLE 6.

RLC:65:051 - 25 - Southold Town is situated at the far eastern end of one of the fastest growing areas in the country and yet is not involved in that gro¥~h. Suffo/k County's gro%~h is occurring at the western end of the county. ~en one goes east of Sn~thtown~ the rapid rate of gro%~h is no longer evident. East Hampton~ on the South Fork~ did show a higher rate of growth than Southold: but has not yet reached the total population size that Southold has. East Hampton in 1960 totaled 3,~27. These two to~rnships - Southold and East Hampton - are very similar in many characteristics. Each makes up a fork at the eastern end of Long Island; each is small in popula- tion size; each has several conununities located in it. Neither has an exit. Anyone entering Southold or East Hampton who wishes to leave must turn around and go back the way he entered. There is~ of course~ a ferry off the eastern end of Southold To%rn~ but it is of little consequence when measuring the total transportation into and out of Southold Town. It will be interesting to watch the changes in the two townships as the future unfolds. They are quite similar now. It ~y be possible to Judge the effect of planning in each town by continuing to compare them. Greenport is the largest community in Southold, and it shows a small decline in population from 1940 to 1960- Greenport may well be exhibiting suburban type growth, because the unincorporated part of Greenport has grown. Using the census definition that any place under 2,500 in population is not urban, we find that the rural population in New York State makes up about 15 per cent of the total population of 2.5 million people. In Suffolk RL~:65:05~ - 26 - County it makes up 27 per cent of the total population cf 105 thousand people, and in Southold Tow~ everyone is labeled "rural" by thc census, except those people living in Oreenport proper. Looking at the nonfarm population, we find that the census has classified about 66 per cent of all rural people in New York State as rural nonfarm, about 96 per cent cf rural people in Suffolk County as rural nonfarm, and in Southold Town about 92 per cent of the population is classified as rural nonfarm~ Therc are more farmers in the state proportiona]_ly than in either Suffolk County or Southold To~n, but there are more farmers in Southold Town proportionally than in Suffolk County. Agriculture is a major part of Southold's economy, however, and in terms of agricultural productivity, Suffolk County is first or second in the State and one of the highest in the Nation. Southold Town is a major contributor to Suffolk County's large agricultural productivity. Among all the townships in Suffolk County, Southold is second in potato production to Riverhead. There are more farmers in Southold To~ than in East Hampton. East Hampton's agriculture has declined, whereas Southold's has nob. Southol,~ has lost farm acreage~ but productivity in agriculture has continued to Southold Town has a rather high per cent of people who have attez~ded or finished college. Educational attainment is higher in Southold th~ in East Hampton. The low educational attainment in Greenport lo~.~ers the over- all average for Southold Town. It is interesting to note, however, that Southold's 8.5 per cent finishing college is slightly smaller than that fo~~ ~ ~ RLC :65 :O51 - 27 - t~e total State, which is 8.9 per cent. In Suffolk County, 8.1 per cent of the population has finished college. ~e must remember that the census is taken in April and that the sun~Ler population, of course, has not yet begun to come out to Southold Town. All of the figures that we are describ- ing in this part which are taken from the census, therefore, describe the permanent or wintertime residents only. The summer population, if included, would of course positively affect these education figures. Southold Town is an aged township. The median age is 36.6 years of age. Half of the population, therefore, is above that age and half under it. In East Hampton the median age was much younger - 33.8 years of age. Much of this aged population seems to be centered in Greenport, where the median age is 38.2 years. The median age of the State as a whole is 33.1 and for Suffolk County it is 30 years of age. This shows the remark- able age structure of Southold T~n. It is truly a retirement t~pe town- ship . The summer people also reflect this same age structure. A very high percentage of the summer or part-time population is 55 or over. Southold To%m has a very high percentage over 65 (14.3 per cent). East H~pton has only l2.2 per cent. Here again we see the aged population centralizing in the largest center which is Greenport, where 15.6 per cent of the population is over 65 years of age. The non-white population in Southold To%a% also centers in Greenport. Three hundred and forty of the 987 non-white persons reported in the 1960 Census lived in Greenport. On page 22, Table 6, we find several interesting comparisons. Southold To%;n has a higher percentage in the professional, technical, and Kindred workers category in the occupational labor force than does East RLC:69:05! - 20 - Hampton. Southold Town's occupational structure seerm %o ke pushe~ upward into %he more middle and upper class occupations than does East Hampton's. Fourteen and eight-tenths per cent of the population cf Southold are officials or proprietors in the labor force ~ %~hereas, in East Hampton, it is only 11.5 per cent. In the State as a whole~ however~ 12.5 per cent of the labor force are professional type people and 9 per cent are officials and proprietors. Adding these two groups together for the State totals 21.5 per cent of the labor force. In Southold To~m these two groups total 26.7 per cent of the labor force. On page 22, Table 6, we not only have included the labor i'orce data from the census, but also the figures obtained in our interviews during the sunnier when the part-time population was in residence C,n~ ca;. get a good idea of the changes that occur to Southold Town as the population moves in and the effect that these people Lave on the struc- ture of the total town itself. In the survey 20.3 per cent were profes- sional and technical workers and 23.~ per cent were officials a~]d proprz- etors. The total of ~3.7 per cent in these two occupational groups is more than double that of the State. The influx of the part-tim~ residents is such that highly educated professional people move into Southold Town in great nmmbers and certainly affect the census statistics. This same thing undoubtedly occ'tu~s in East Hampton. There ~u~e fewer people employed in manufacturing in $ou%ilOl~ '['own than in East Hs.mpton~ in Suffolk County~ or in the State. Southolc is a manufacturing area. RLC:65:O51 ~ 29 - The median income as reported in the 1960 Census shows Southold as belng not a very wealthy township - $5,366 as the median family income. In East Nm~mpton it was just about the same - $5,361. In the State as a whole, the median income in 1960 was $6,371; in Suffolk County it was $6~795 - a difference of approximately $1,3OO. This sizable difference is again offset when data for summer residents in included. On page 24, Table 6, two different income classifications are presented - one from the census and one from our sample survey t~en in the summertime. In the survey, the median income is up to between $8,000 and $9,000 a year. These income figures show the remarkable difference between Southold in the off season and Southold during the season. Southold in effect is two different towns - a winter town and a surmuer town. This diversity and remarkable difference, of course, makes it exceedingly nDre difficult to plan the future of the to%~. On page 23, Table 6, we can see that there are 82.2 per cent of the housing structures that are sound and have all plumbing facilities. Seventeen and eight-tenths per cent of the houses are not structurally sound. This is a high percentage when you consider that the State as a whole has only 10.8 per cent unsound, and East Hs~.~pton only 10.7 per cent unsound. When looking at the Greenport col~nn on page 23, we can see that most of this unsound housing is centralized in the village of Greenport, where 77.6 per cent of the structures are classified as sound. The low percentage of housing structures with central heating or built-in electri- cal units is caused in part because cottages have been built to be used only during the summer, and therefore have no central heating unit. RLC :69:051 - 30 - Southold Town, then, as reported by the 1960 Census, is a smal'-~ sparsely populated to~nship with one center of over 2,500 people az~a several between 400 and 2,500 people. It is not a manufacturing center~ but does contain professional ~nd managerial type workers. It aoes not have, relatively speadiing, a high median income. It con,pares well with its neighbor to the south - East H~pton. It shows signs of a fairly ..,;ell developed blighted area. It is part of the fastest growing county in the State and one of the fastest in the Nation: but shows very Little sign of growth itself. Its major uniqueness - the dramatic difference between the to%rn in the off season and the to%rn during the season - is not indicated in the census data. A different population inhabits Southold in the summer than during the winter. The incoming summer residents push the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of Southold upward on the average. They come in with higher incomes, higher numbers of years of school completed, and higher occupational categories. This unique fea- ture is shared by East H~mpton also, and therefore, the two to~.rns ar~ highly comparable and may be used to judge the effects that different innovations will have on the town. For exan~ple, if a new industry moves into Southold and not into East Hampton, East Hampton may be u~ed in a rather crude way as a control town to judge the effect of that industr~y on Southold. RLO :65: 051 Chapter III. SOUTHOLD T(~N AND URBAN SPRAWL One of the major instigators of the great concern for change and growth in Southold T~n is the fact that New York City has steadily expanded eastward through Queens and Nassau County into western Suffoll~ County. The great and rapid growth of western Long Island has caused people to question whether this gro~th will continue eastward and affect the eastern townships of Long Island as it did the western tovmships. In this third section of the report, the eastward growth of New York City, the suburban development, and expansion of both population a~d business services will be analyzed. I,fe will attempt to assess the effect that this growth has had and may have on Southold Town. Also in this' section we will make several population estimates for Southold Town and discuss certain population projections for the future of Southold Town. We draw heavily in this section on some of the material in the Suffolk County Planning Board's publication "The Population of Suffolk County." In 1960 approximately 16 million people lived in New York State. In 1965 this number is somewhat OVer 19 million. Half of this population lives in New York City and Long Island. It is safe to say that Ulm~ards of l0 million people live on the island ~hat stretches eastward from the south eastern tip of New York State. This includes Manhattan, the boroughs of New York City, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. There is no back door from Long Island; the population that travels eastward must, if it is to leave - 31 - RLC :~9 the island, return westward. The classical characterizations of urbah sprawl - a densely populated smea~ many suburban housir~g development~, "strip" developments of business along major highways~ and extreme traffic congestion are perfectly exemplified on western Long Island. Graph 1 entitled "The Relationship of Time and Distance /'rom York City to Growth of Townships" depicts the historical population develop- ment on Long Island from 19OO to 1960. Several important analyses ma2,' be made from this graph: a) the longer the distance from New York City the smaller the population size of a township, and b) the longer the distance from New York City the less rapid the rate of population growti~. All of the townships in ~assau and Suffofd~ Counties are depicted in t~is graph as accurately as can be in terms of their distance from New York City - North Hempstead being the closest and Shelter Island the most dis- tent. This graph shows that growth west of Brookhaven and Smithtown is constant phenomenon~ whereas gro%~th east of Brookhaven and SsAtatown relatively absent. The growth patterns of the five eastern anm five- western townships are differentiated into two distinct groups As one drives eastward out Long Island from New York City and reaches Smithtown, it becomes quite evident that a major change in the scenery is occurrin the change is one from turban to rural. One may surmise that i'[, is at this point that daily commuting distance to New York City becomes unbeaa'- able~ both in terms of time and cost. It may be that great sro%..~h in eastern Long Island will nave to wait for improved cr new transportation teeF~nologies or it .may be that business arid industry will move eastward from New York City and locate in Nassau and western Su~fo]d~ Couut~es and RLC:65:051 RLC :65 ~051 i 34 ~ that these businesses and industries will provide ~ccupational sites a con~nuting population from eastern Long Island. In the latter cased present transportation technology would be sufficient to enable gro~rti~ eastern Long Island. Certain marked patterns of gro%rtn may also be observe~ from 1. The rapid growth that occurred in North Hempstead a,nd Hempstead Townships began in the '20 to '30 decade, whereas, the £~-ster Bay~ Huntington, Babylon, Islip gro%Wch did not become so rapid until the '5~ to '60 decade. Smithto%na and Brookhaven are just beginning to show evi- dences of this rapid population increase and will probably show their largest increases in the '60 to '70 decade. The growth in the five eastern townships occurred in RiYerhead and Southampton (those closest New York City) but this growth has been fairly gradual over the last 0¥ years and cannot be attributed to urban sprawl. In 1910 the population on Long ISland was rather evenly distributed throughout the %zhole island. There were no great centers of Ligh popula- tion density. In the '10 to '20 decade, Hempstead showed some appreci- able increase. The other townships on Long Island, however~ maintai,'~e~ their rather equal population development. From 1920 to 1930, I~ortL Hempstead and Hempstead showed appreciable increases. It is at this point that we see the great eastward sprawl of New York City. From 1930 1940, North Hempstead and Hempstead again attracted large populations an~l their business centers grew considerably. The rest of the western to%m~ ships showed steady but normal increases. ~¥om 1940 to !950: the other townships in western Long Island began to compete with Hempstead and RLC:65:051 Hempstead as suburban sites and developed large increases in population as well as accon~anying services. From 1950 to 1960, we see Oyster Bay becoming a major suburban location with Huntington, Babylon, Islip showing great growth and giving indications that this growth will be even greater in the coming decade. Huntington, Babylon~ and Islip are close enough to New York City for suburban commuters. Their patterns of growth resemble that of North Hempstead and Hempstead in an earlier period. If these patterns continue, we will expect great increases in population in these t?~ee townships. Hempste~d and North Hempstead showed tremendous increase from 1940 to 1950 and from 1950 to 1960. Huntington, Babylon, and Islip today are similar to Hempstead and North Hempstead in the 1930 to 1940 period. They are probably a decade behind Hempstead~ Oyster Bay, and North Hempstead in their growth because of their longer distance from New York City. As Hempstead and North Hempstead reach states of maxim~v~ density, we can expect future suburban growth to occur in Huntington, Babylon, and Islip. Smithtow~ and Brookhaven are in 1960, si~milar to Babylon and Islip in 1950. Brookhaven has a larger population than Sn~thtown because of the Brookhaven Laboratories and other military and govermnent installations, but in ter~r~ of suburban growth, they will probably lag a decade behind Huntington, Babylon, and Islip. If the past growth patterns of Long Island continue, it will probably be two decades before we see great growth in Smithtown and Brookhaven. It is important to remember that there is much room for gre~h and development in the five western Suffolk To~nships. These townships may be RLC:~5:O51 - 36 ~ able to supply the needed space for further urban expansion from New City. If the growth patterns of Long Island raaintain themselves into the future, Riverhead in the '70 to '80 decade may begin to exhibit drastic growth as did Babylon and Islip in the '50 to '60 decade. Southarapton~ Southold, East Hampton, Shelter Island will not, it seems, experience suburban development from New York City for a long time and maybe not ever. However, as Smithtown, Brookhaven~ and Riverhead g/~ow in poputatie~ sin=, then Southampton~ Southold, East Hampton, and Shelter Island will be the only places on Long Island where one may find outdoor recreation facili- ties to satisfy the needs of the population. In this sense~ the urban sprawl that has occurred on Long Island will affect greatly the social and economic structures of the four eastern townships. Tables 1, 2, and 3 depict the l;ew York urban expansion in a what different manner. Table 1, showing the population densities of townships, is an interesting table because it, in a sense~ contro±s for the size of the area to be inhabited. In 1910 the densities were fairly evenly distributed throughout Long Island. Southold To~ was the most densely populated township in all of Suffolk County in 1910. It too~ the advent of the automobile and its widespread use to cause the relationship between density and distance from New York City. In 1930 the distance relationship begins to show itself clearly~ and by 1960, it is a well established pattern. The western townships showed remarkable increase in densities from 1910 to 1960, whereas the eastern townships do not vary greatly over the 50 year period. RLC:65:O51 TABLE 7.

These percentages depict the time series from 19lO to 1960 and show the relative centralization of the population on Long Island. Again~ you can see that in .1910, the population was rather R~3:65:051 - 38 - CJ RL~ :65 :O51 - 39 ~ .0 0 RLC:65:05~ - 40 - Cq RLC:65:O51 - 41 - evenly distributed over the Island. The high density rate for Southold Tow~ in 1910 and the relatively high percentage of population of Suffolk. County in 1910 seems to suggest that since Southold and East Hampton were originally settled by Connecticut migrants, population redistribution in the early years (late 180Os) occurred not from population moving east- ward, but rather from population moving from the tip of Long Island west- ward. At about 1910 or 1920, this population redistribution pattern shifted abruptly and the urban sprawl or urban expansion of New York City dominated the redistribution pattern. The changes in per cent of total population in each town shown zn Tables 8, 9, and l0 indicate this new pattern. Viewing Southold Town in particular~ we see that the per cent of Long Island's population in Southold is quite small and that the prob- ability is very high that the future expansion of New York City will not affect Southold Town per se. Again, Tables 8, 9, and l0 indicate that the future exps-nsion of New York City will not go beyond the townships of Smithto~m and Brookhaven. A more detailed view of population expansion from New York City eastward can be had by viewing each of the villages located in each of the to~nships as they are arranged by distance from New York City. Tables 11 through 21 demonstrate the history of population growth from 1910 to 1960 in selected villages for each town on Long Island. Several interest- ing conclusions can be drawn from these tables.. First of all, the villages in the towns elosest to New York City are genera]-ly larger than the villages in the more distant towns. This information supports our contention that as population expansion occurs from a major metropolis, it occurs in a Eradient pattern. RLC:65:051 ~en each of the villages within a township are arranged 0y di~;- tance from New York City~ however, a different pattern emerges and this pattern should be of extreme importance to planning in these townships. No gradient is observed when viewing village size within a township. That is, the village closest to New York City in a township is not larger thm~ the next village in distance from New York City. The pattern which does seem to emerge when viewing village growth within a township, however, is one which may be derived from what urban geographers and sociologists have labeled "central place theory." Very simply put, central place theory states that a location at the center of a particular population is most amenable to the attraction of service and business organizations, because it is at this point that these services and businesses are most accessible to the population using the~a. Tables ll through 21 demonstrate that villages that are near the center of a particular supporting population attract population earlier than other places in the township and over time grow more rapidly than other villages in the township. The general pattern of urban expansion then c~n be said to occur in waves. That is, that population expanaion does not occur in a strict gradient, but rather jumps Over space at intermittent points and occurs in places of central location or maxin~umaccessibility. After this place grows~ then the intervening area tends to increase in population. The wave of urban expansion con%inues outward as one village after the o~her begins to grow in size. If a village is to groW~ it cannot be located near another larger one, bu~ rather must be far enough away to have its o;~n supporting population. RLC:65:051 - 43 - ~en discussing urban expansion, it faust be remembered that popula- tion units such as families or individuals do not continually move out from a central metropoliS, but rather~ this expansion occurs in several ways: One is the moving out of population from the central city tot he hinterland; another is the hinterland attracting migrants from other areas to the particular point in the hinterland rather than to the central city. Both of these sources of in-migration to the hinterland can be thought of as expansion of a metropolitan center. Table ll shows the town of Hempstead, and the villages listed are the largest ones on all of Long Island. Valley Stream is the largest village in Hempstead Town and is closer to New York City than any other. However, the next largest city or village in Hempstead Town is the one most distant from New York City. TABLE 11. Population Change of Selected Villages in Hempstead Town (1910-1960).

Most of the population in Huntington To~.rn, then, would be listed as rural nonfarm population, people living outside of urban centers. Northport is listed as the largest village and again is farther from New York City then any other village in Huntington Town. RL0:65:O51 - 46 - TABLE 14.

Greenport is an ideal location in Southold Town for many reasons. It is far enough away from Riverhead to establish itself as a service center for a relatively large supporting population spread throughout Southold Town. Greenport is located on the water and contains the only deepsea port on all of Long Island. All of these characteristics give Greenport and the i~mediate hinterland ideal potential for exerting influence over the remainder of Southold To%a/. ~nen projecting plans for Southold into the fut%~e~ Greenpcrt will likely be the focus of great attention. In this section thus far we have attempted to place Southold Town in a historical perspective, attempting to view its growth in relation to the urban expansion of New York City. Southold Town cannot be thought of as a separate entity but is definitely tied in with townships to the west of it and to the general pattern of expansion from New York City. We have RLC:65:O51 - 50 - demonstrated several patterns of urban expansion as they occur ,~n Long Island. First is the general pattern of the greater the distance from New York City, the lower the population increase; and second is the wave pattern of urban expansion which applies to the smaller areal ~mits within each township. We may summarize that it is unlikely that the .~- eral pattern of urban expansion will influence Southold Town greatJAr in the near future (that is the next 20 to 30 years). However, we ~o suppose that the urban expansion of New York City will have a tremendous indirect effect on the future structure of Southold Town's growth and economy~ and we do believe that the wave pattern of growth will hold for Southold Town, that is~ Greenport will probably be the center of much activity. Southold is a beautiful location in ternt~ of sand, water, and su~;. It is ideal for outdoor recreation. Its vast shoreline is ideal i'or the kind of vacationing activities that An~ericans have come to value. Earlier in the history of Long Island (in the late 15OOs and car£~ 19OOs) the western part of Long Island served as a vacation spot for ~ew York City residents. Several of these spots are, of course, still used, but as urban expansion has occurred, the places for outdoor recreation cave decreased in number. As urban expansion continues out Long Island, it ~s very probable that Southold Town will exhibit great growth in sm~er vacationers. The part-time residents of Southold Town were asked in our survey where their permanent residence was located. Six per cent said Suffolk County, 25 per cent stated Nassau County~ and 46 per cent gave IIew York City as the location of their permanent residence. ~lassau County is supply- lng a large number of tire summer residents of Southold Town, aha ~t is a RLC:65:051 - 51 - safe assumption that as western Suffolk County increases in size, they too will supply increasing numbers of summer residents to Southold Town. In Chapter 4 of this report, characteristics of permanent residents and of summer residents are analyzed and the role that summer residents play in Southold's economy is described. The comments about thc future growth of the sun~aer resident population will take on more significance as Chapter 4 is read. All of the foregoing remarks concerning the effect of urban expansion on Southold Town have purposefully ignored the question of the proposed bridge linking Long Island with Connecticut and Rhode Island. This bridge~ if completed~ would, of course, greatly affect the growth pattern of Southotd Town. We have previously stated that Southold T~n would be in a very enviable position in terms of the location of many types of business enterprises~ for it would be at the mid-point between Boston and New York City and would be located on a major highway route linking these two super metropolises. What effect this location would have on Southold Town is quite questionable. It seems to the present observer that many distributive functions would definitely seek Southold Town as a location. It is, of course, well known that as businesses enter an area, they attract larger populations. The building of the proposed bridge would definitely increase the population size of Southold Town at a rather rapid rate. It is quite possible, in my opinion, that this growth would occur down the center of Southold Town and would, of course, affect agricultural holdings but that the shoreline of Southold Town would not necessarily be affected greatly. The highway connecting the bridge, when RLC:65:051 - 52 - going through Southold Town to Riverhead, would attract businesses alozig it and affect l~ud use around it, but the shoreline could well mainvain its present characteristics. Population Estimates Knowledge of the present population size is essential for plannzng in a particular area. Earlier, data was presented showing the historicm! change in gouthold's population size and density and its relationship to the rest of Long Island. This discussion ended with the data presente~ by the 1960 Census of Population. The census will not be taken again until 1970. Therefore~ an estimate of the present population is required. In 1960, the Census reported 13,295 people in Southold Town. In 1960, the Suffo]_k County Planning Board made two population estimates, a daytime population of 10,553 and a nighttime population of 15,122. The nighttime estimate is larger than the total population. (See Bulletin 6 of the Suffolk County Planning Department. ) The Long Island Lightin~ Corporation published a January 1964 estimate of 14,590 and a January estimate of 14,780. These estimates all seem quite accurate when compareu to the estimate we calculate from our survey ~terials. Table 22 shows a set of population estimates for Southold Town. Estimates for each of seven areas are presented. The seven areas are school districts or combinations of school districts and quite aSequate~? correspond to communities in Southold Town. The number of family presented in this table are, in our opinion~ extremely accurate. Each structure in Scuthold To~rn was located~ inspecten, and categorized b3 with the able assistance of the town tax assessors. Each strucZure was RL0:65:O51 - 53 - categorized in terr~ of the number of family units located therein, the kind of business located therein, if any, and whether the structure housed a farm or nonfarm family. This investigation gave us an accurate land use profile of Southold Town. TABLE 22. Population Estimates for Southold T~rn.

RLC: 65:051 - 54 - Several important ramifications emerge when interpreting th~s table. First, because the planning process attempts to take accou~m oz community distinctness within a larger area, smaller areas must be defined. The seven areas designated in the table are logical, useful, and meaningful parts of Southold Town. Second, the separate estimates for each of these smaller areas are useful. Thirdly, the distinction between permanent and part-time population is exceedingly important. The population which owns or rents a home in Southold for use in the summer is an important part of Southold's population structure. They help shape the economy of the town. The U.S. Census is taken early i~ April and misses most of these par~- time residents in Southold, and consequently~ their figures are mislead- ing. The Long Island Lighting Company's estimates are for January and are, therefore, only for per~mnent residents. If these censuses were taken in the surfacer, a completely different picture would be presented. Finally, gouthold Tovrn should be thought of as the mainland (or Long Island) excluding Fishers Island, which is 12 miles out to sea and not a part of Southold's economy or social life. In the sun~aer of 1964, Southold (excluding Fishers Island) con- tained 25~1~9 residents of which 14,186 were permanent residents. This figure plus Fishers Island and plus the few part-time residents pickea up by the 1960 Census should be the one compared to the other estimates in order to get some appreciation of Southold's growth. The 1960 figure was 13,295 and the 1964 estimate is approximately 14,544 (14,444 plus part-time residents). A day in April of 1964 would probably yield the above figure, bu~. a day in July would ha~.~e yielded approximately 26,3~9 people. Unfortunately~ RLC:65:OS1 - 55 - we do not have any previous estimate of the part-time population, so we cannot esti~.~ate their growth trends. From our observations and inquiries~ however, we believe the part-time population is increasing at a faster rate than is the permanent population. ~ny important and knowledgeable citizens in Southold quoted the figure of four times the winter population when assessing the sun,her population. This guess is quite high. The active, interested summer pop- ulation is about twice as large as the winter population. There are, however, 698 hotel, motel, tourist, and cottage accom- modations with weekly rates in Southold Town. If, on any one day, an average of three persons per accommodation were using these facilities (which is approximately what we found in Southold) then an additional 2~O94 people would be counted on any one su~er day. If these people stayed on the average of two weeks (which is approximately what we found) then ~2,584 people would have been in Southold during the 12 summer weeks in addition to the usual residents. We also estimate from our survey data that on a given su~mmer day ~he residents of Southold are hosting 1,OOO to 1,800 guests. Furthermore, on a weekend da&~, 700 to 1,O00 people enter Southold for swimming, fishing, boating, and picnicking and leave again before the day ends. Therefore, on a given summer day, it would not be unlikely to find 31,000 people in the Town of Southold. Population Pro~ectigns Not only are estimates of the present population required for the planning process, but projections of future population sizes are also essential. :051 ~ 56 - Population projections can only, at best, give one an indication of future population sizes. The accuracy of the projection depends the technique used~ the present size of the area under study, the choice of a base year~ the assumptions used about the economy, about fertility and mortality behavior, and about the lack of major catastrophes. Usually, the larger the area, the more accurate the projection for that area. Southold's population is extremely small, and consequently, extremely difficult to project. The Suffolk County Planning Department has made a projection for all of Suffolk County up to 19~5 and this can be found in their "Population Report" for 1962. Because of the many difficulties and consequent probable errors in a population projection for Southold, no elaborate technique was devised or used. Rather, three simple projections are presented for the "per~m_nent" and "part-time" populations. The"permanent population" projections, we believe, are quite adequate for gross indications; the "part-time population" projections must be used with extreme caution. Table 23 presents the projections to 1~5. Tee high projecti~l:~ is based on the assumption that Southold will retain its present 2 per cent of Suffolk. County's population and that the planning department's projection for Suffolk County is adequate. The low projection takes into account that in our 1964 estimate, Southold was below 2 per cent Suffolk County's population and had steadily declined in this per cent from 1910 (1910 - 11 per cent, 1920 - 9~2 per cent, 1930 - 7.2 per cent. 1940 - 6.1 per cent, 1950 - 4.2 per cent, 1960 - 2 per cent, a~d 1964 - 1.7 per cent). The low projection continues Southold's decline in per RLC:65:051 - 57 ~ cent of total county population up to 1985 (1965 - 1.7 per cent, 1970 - 1.5 per cent, 1975 - 1.3 per cent, 1980 - 1.1 per cent, and 1985 - 1 per cent). This steady decline is not out of the question. It seems quite likely that the growth of Suffolk County will largely be in the five western to~mships. The middle estimate assumes that Southold will decline in per cent of total to 1.5 per cent in 1970 and maintain that per cent to 1985. TABLE 23. Population Projections for Southold To~m.

For this reason, a crude projection of the part-time resident population is included in this section. The projection of part-time residents is necessarily crude because we have a population figure for only one time period. The ratio of part- time residents to permanent residents in our 1964 survey was .$/1. ItLC :65:05~- ~ ~8 ~ Because we believe that the western townships of Suffolk CounLy will incre-~se much more rapidly than the eastern ones, and because ~ essum:e that this western population increase will "force" vacationers eas%ward~ we suggest that the ratio of part-time residents will increase oyez' The projection figures for part-time residents presented in Tabi. calculated by applying the ratio of .8/1 to %he 1960 per~anen% population and to the high~ medium~ and lo~ 1965 permanent resident populations. In 1970, a ratio of .9/1 was applied~ and a ratio was hypothesized in 1975. This ratio was increased by another cne-Len%h for 1980 and again for 1985. ~ue reader is advised never to ~se these part-time resident pro- jections for any detailed or precise purpose~ but rather to remember to include a large p~rt-~ime resident population (as large or larger than the permanent residents) when evaluating Southold's future population. Plan~ers find it usefl~l to have some guidelines for estimating what the extreme population size of an area could be without any future checks and with continued gro%rth. This projection is called the Sa%u- ration Projection," and one for each area in Suffolk County was computed by %he Suffolk County Planning Department. Assuming that every available lot in Southold was built upon and used under the present zoning laws ar~ present average family size, the planning department estimates a 'l Satu- ration Population" of approximately 225,753 in Southold Town. ?ne technique of population pro~ection assu~nes that no major catstrophes either natural or manmade will occur. If the proposed brimge linking Southold with Connecticut and Rhode Island becomes a reality, RLC:65:OS1 - 59 ° must be considered as too great a change for the purposes of population projection. It is practically impossible to predict what changes the bridge would precipitate. It is the author's opinion that great change could occur along the major highway, Route 25, going through the center of Southold~ but that with control the shoreline could remain relatively untouched. RLC :65 :o5i Chapter IV. SOUTHOLD'S POPULATION Now that Southold Town has been placed in the context ~, region in which it is located, its historicsl past, and its Iuture possi- bilities, a discussion of the characteristics of Southold's inhaoitants can be better u~derstood. In this section, a very generalized ~escription of the population is presented, snds detailed analysis oI several tinent characteristics o£ the population are discussed. The following description is presented in order to provide the reader with a quick, capsule overview of the people off Southold Town. The description is based on the information found in the tables in Appendix A, and~ where necessary, these tables are cited in parentheses following a particular statement. ~ae reader is cautioned to bear in mind that these general description statements are based only on the highest or lowest percentages in the tables in Appendix A. Total Population In the heart of summer, Southold is Quite di£Yerent than during the off-season. Many summer vacationers are living in the town~ and the pace of life is aceelerated~ the population size is vastly enlarged, and the economic profile of the town is geared to the vacationer. During this period, the total population is much more heterogeneous than during RLC:65:051 - 61 - the o£f-season~ but s general description of the total population (both permanent and part-time residents) is help£ul in understanding the charac- teristics of Southold's population. The £amilies in Southold are homeowners (?9-3 per cent -Tsble 14)~ and relative to the rest of the nation, they are in a fairly high income bracket ($5~000 - $10~000). More of the family heads have "good" jobs than is the case for the rest of the nation. Twenty per cent are pro- £essional or technical workers and 23 per cent are mansgers~ o££icials~ and proprietors (Table 125). Seventy-five per cent of the household heads are currently employed~ and 15 per cent are retired; wives, as a rule~ do not work (T9 per cent - Table 129). Driving one's own car is the most common means of getting to work. The population of Southold is elderly (60 per cent over 51 years - Table l~O) and relatively well educated (Tables 192-196). Racially~ the population is homogeneous~ containing very few non-whites, and most of the family heads trace their background to Britain or Western Europe. Southold is a republican town (Table 24), and because the summer residents ere included~ only a little over hal£ o£ the adults vote in local elections (Table 21). The people~ as a whole~ are not politically aware, for many do not know the names of the members of the town board~ and half do not know the Supervisor's name. Hal~ of the population is Protestant and the largest denomination is Presbyterian. Roman Catholic is the second largest religious grouping (38.8 per cent of the population) and is larger than any particular Protestaat d~uomlnation (Table 94 and 241). I5L2:6~ :C,~ !. - 62 - %~en a person seeks out recrestion in Southold, he generali),- swimming (Table 245). The second most popula~ outdoor activity in Southot~ is fishing. By far, most of the buying done by Southold's populstion is in Southold (Tables 141-180). About 90 per cent of the population buy practically all of their food and household items in Southold (Table t~!). Seventy-seven per cent buy most of their gas and oil in town~ and !5 per cent use the' town's stores for drugs and cosmetics, t~o~e people go outside Southold for professional services than for other goods, however (Table The roadside stand is a popular place for Southold buyers. They like to, shop there for fresh goods and they stop often (65 per cent stop st toast once a week). ]Belonging and working in organizations is part of life in Eouthold Town. Over half of the population belongs to at least one orgsnization other than the church (Table 201). There are strong beliefs and opinions in Southold, ss in other places. The people believe that Southold has grown in the last fivu yesra in terms of building and population size, and they certainly expect thBt the town will grow in the next five years. The people are quite satisfied with the services in the town (Tables 27-29 and 35-51). Many important services are unknown, however, such as: the courts and Justice of the Peace, zoning laws, and counseling services (Tables 34~ 38, and 54). RLC:65:051 If the town would attempt to build s sewage system, the people of the t~n would generally be in favor of it (Table 63). Writing snd enforcing zoning laws would be £avorably received by the population (Tables 66-70). The question of a central school system was of great concern to most of the people~ and they were generally opposed to it (32.5 per cent in favor - Table 69). Comparison of Permanent and Part-Time Residents Throughout this report, the fact that Southold Town is a "two season" t~n has been emphasized. The make-up of Southold in the off- season is different than during the winter. The remainder of this section will be devoted to a comparison of the permanent residents and "summer" residents. This comparison will not only add to our understanding of the characteristics of Southold's population, but will also highlight the role that the part-time residents play in Southold's social and economic structure. Both the permanent and part-time residents are~ on the whole, home owners (83 per cent of permanent and 73 per cent of the part-time residents). This fact indicates that the part-time resident has made an investment in the town (often sizsble) and, to s certain extent, is com- mitted to the town. A remarkable difference exists between the two populations in family income. The mode for the permanent population is $5,000 - ~7,000, while for the part-time population it is $9,000 - $11,O00. Three and nine-tenths per cent of the permanent population receives over $20.OOO income, while 22.6 per cent o£ the "summer" population is in the and over category (Table 17). The occupations of the two populations are quite di££erent. Practically none of the "summer" residents work ia Southeld~ and the jobs they have elsewhere are, generally, of more prestige than are those of the permanent residents. Table 24 depicts the occupational distri- butions. The absence o£ laborers or £oremen in the part-time poDulation highlights just how divergent the distributions are. Table 25 also indicates that the part-time residents, on the ~verage, have completed more years of school than the permanent residents. Evi- dence supports the popular opinion~ then, that part-time residents are generally of a higher social and economic status than the permanent residents.

Southold's population is generally an aged one. Sixty per cent of the household heads are over 50 years of age. ~enty-eight per cent of the permanent residents in Southold are over 65 and 1~.5 per cent of the part-time residents are over 65. %h, enty-five per cent of the per- manent household heads are under 40 years of age and 15 per cent of the part-time household heads are under 40. The age distribution of the spouses resembles that of the household heads (Tables 140 and 194). Young adults in Southold are mainly permanent residents. The part-time population that moves into Southold is older than a normal population. Southold must resemble some of the vacation and retirement com- munities of Florida. Southold contains very few dinner-dsncing nightclubs and manifests practically no "night life" activity thst is found in many other resort areas. Southold is attracting older~ relatively wealthy~ people who are apparently searching for s quiet permmnent vacation home site. If the town is desirous for this type of "summer" person to continue moving into Southold, it m~y want to plan in terms of the needs of older people. Another indication of the aged nature of Southold's population is the retirement activity in the town. Eighteen per cent of the pernmnent residents are retired~ and not a few of them used to "summer" in Southold before they permanently retired. Eleven per cent of the part-time popu- lation is retired. ~en the "s~mmer" residents were asked whether they would retire in Southold~ 36.6 per cent said "yes" and 16 per cent were R~C:65:051 - 68- not sure. A sizable number of older~ permanent residents will. "migrste" into Southold from the pert-time population. The young adults are permanent residents in $outhold~ rather than pert-time~ as we stated esrlier, but this does not mean that young adult is a sizable cstegory in $outhold. On the contrary~ as children move through the teen years and graduate from high school, they mo~ out of Southold. The lack o£ economic opportunity was cited by the popu- lation as the cause of this out-migrstion. No matter whst the cause, the out-migration of young people emphasizes the aged nature of Southold~s population, snd m~kes one realize that a portion of the population growth in Southold is due to the in-migration of retired couples. It must b~ remembered that as a populstion ages~ its birth rste declines. Plar~ing for the aged may become s real consideration for the town's leaders. The permanent and psrt-time populations exhibit diversity in terms of in¢ome~ education, occupation~ and age, but they are quite similar political preference (about 60 per cent republican for both) and religio~s af£ili~tion (about 50 per cent Protestant £or both). In terms of parti- cipation in the town's affsirs and involvement in the town's activities, the two populations are quite different. The part-time resident, of course, does not vote in Southold, this is a source o£ great concern. The pert-time residents are important to Southold's well being and future. They have invested in the town~ but have little opportunity to have a say in its operation. During our survey, we heard the phrase~ "taxation without representations" often from th~ PJ~C :65:051 - 69- part-time resident homeowners. This remark was never said with ~mlice~ for all of these people realize they are voting in another town end believe their other residence is more important than the one in Southold. Nevertheless, they expressed feelings of wanting to protect their Southold investment. The wish to protect their investment~ however~ is not strong enough to involve the part-time resident in the town's affairs. When asked to rate the work of the town officials~ practically all of the permanent residents did, but half of the part-time residents said they didn't know enough about it (Table 25). The members of the town board are not well Pmown to many people, but 97 per cent of the part-time residents did not know any of their names (Table 209 - 70 per cent of the permanent resi- dents did not know any). Sixty-eight per cent of the permanent residents knew the Town Supervisor's name, but only 24 per cent of the part-time residents could recall his name. Of the part-time population, 28 per cent belong to some type of formal organization in Southold, whereas 57 per cent of the permanent residents have some organizational affiliation in Southold. This lack of involvement in town affairs on the part of the "summer" residents is also reflected in the attitudes toward certain services in Southold. Tables 26 and 27 show the generally lower rating given by part-time residents and the generally large per cent who knew nothing about them. (See Tables 25-62 in Appendix A for a full account of Southold's services.) TABLE 26.

Twenty-seven per cent of the part-time residents indicated that some £riction existed between the permanent residents and part-time residents. Most oY these 27 per cent said thst some resentment on the part o£ the permanent resi- dents was included in this friction (Table ll4). Twenty per cent o£ the part-time residents said that animosity wes shown i~ the attitude of the permanent residents towsrd "sunm~er" residents. Not as many oY the per- manent residents included friction as part o£ the description o£ the rela- tionship between the two populations. This percentage £igure may seem high, but in e small township in which the population more than doubles with vacationers during part o~ the year~ a situation exists which makes it quite probable that £riction will emerge. Actually, the suthor was struck with the low amount of trouble and animosity which wes evident in Southold. The manner in which the two populetions view each other ~z people is also indicative of feelings between them. Table28includes an interes- ting set o£ ~igures, for it compares how the two population sectors ~egarn themselves and their opposites. The description o£ the permanent residents made by the part-time residents contained more positive statements than did the description made by the permanent residents. On this one score, then, the psrt-time residents do not have a lo~ regard for the permanent residents~ RLC :65:051 - 73 - TABLE 28.

The information presented in this section indicates that the pert-time resident is relstive]~ isolated from participation in town affairs. One rather common form of behavior has emerged in 8outhold which counteracts the trend towsrd lack of participation on the psrt of the "summer'r residents. Many people have joined or organized Home Owners' Associations, and through these orgsnizations~ some hsve become active in the town. There are approximately 30 Property Owners Association in the township, 23 of which sre large and active, and 7 or so are relatively small and inconsequential. The associations are mainly made up of water- front property owners~ and include many "summer" residents or retired permanent residents who formerly "summered" in ~outhold. RLC:69:~5l - 74 - ~e associations share many things in common, and mo~t J. mport~ht±y, they have practically all emerged from similar conditions. The reason cited for founding the associations was interpreted by the dents as some threat or quasi-threat to the home owners in ti~e psrticu±ar area. For example~ the attempt to build a marina st the foot o~ ~ne o~ the "creeks" caused the home owners along that creek to band 5ogether fight it. In another case~ the lack of road and beach mainteaance was depreciating the property of en area and the people of that area orga- nizer to take care of the situation. The associations have varied functions. They attempt to speak ss an organized group on behalf of their members during "tax grievance~' days. Each organization attempts to protect the value of property in the sre~, and serves some nm intenance functions for the area. Dues are ~aid members to the organization and in most instances they are quite no~Jnsl. Almost all o~ the associations have "social gatherings" during vha s~mmer. An attempt was made to interview the president o% each association. At least one association was contacted in each of the six areas of Town~ and a fairly good cross-section was attained. From the interviews, it became quite evident that the associations were extremely successful in caring for internal affairs such as rosa or beach maintenance, property value, etc. Externally, however, they were not successful. The associations are not lowering tax assessments or controlling marina construction, etc. Not one instance of combined asso- ciation activity was reported~ although several ccmments were ma~e 5o the effect that if several associations would band together more pressure ~ula be exerted. RLC :65 :O51 The one large civic association, the Southold-Peconic Civic Association, has become quite active. This association differs from the Property Owners Associations in that it is not restricted to s particular, small area. The president estimated that the civic association had 500 families out of a possible 2,200 eligible familiesfor members. It was formed in 1956, and the issue of a possible labor camp in the area was the main reason for forming. Many of the members of this sssocistion are members of property associstions. The major function of this civic asso- ciation is to cooperate with the town board snd to report to it as a pressure group on matters of town government. Up to now, there has been very little friction between the ssso- ciations and the town government, but as the town changes and if the ssso- cistions merge through some kind of civic association, the possibility of friction will become quite great, especially if the changes sre viewed as deleterious to waterfront property. The Population and the Economy An attempt was made, during the survey of the population, to ascer- tain where and how much people spent on various goods and services. The set of questions in the questionnaire (pages 16 and l?~ Appendix C) were extremely difficult for people to answer, and were terribly time consuming, and consequently, the amount of information we desired was not forthcoming. This section discusses the general information gathered on the topic of the contributions of people to Southold's economy. RLC~65:051 - 76 - Table 29 estimates the dollar figures that people reporte,i spent on various items during the last 30 days (measured from time o£ interview). These figures are presented for part-time and permanent resi- dents. The actual dollar figures should not be used as precise estimates, but rather for comparative purposes and as indications of the amount spent. The first column in Table 29 shows the total amount of money reported by our 6 per cent sample that was spent in Southold on s p~rti- cular item. The second column shows the number .out of the possible total number, who reported any dollar figure for that item. The third colulm'~ shows the nttmber of people who did not give s dollar figure~ but who said that lOG per cent of an item was bought in Southold. By sdding the second and third columns~ you arrive at the number who said that they bought that item in Southold. The total number of possible part-time and perma- nent residents is 169 and 291 respectively. RLC:65:O51 - T7 - RLC :o5:0~1 O RDC:65:O51 - 79 - ~ ~ O Ass~mf~ that the number who reported that they bought 100 p~' cent in Southold~ spend about the same, on the average, as the others, we can estimate the total smount spent in Southold. IT the total popula~ tion buys as our 6 Der cent sample does~ then an estimate for the total town can be made. Table 30 reports these estimates. The conclusion drawn from Table 30 is that the part-time popula- tion spends over nfn~enths the amount spent by the permanent popula- tion ($1,~25~067 for part-time and ~1~42~014 for permanent), TT~is is ~ remarkable figure, remembering thst the p~rt-time population is in Gouthoid three months or less, and thst there are fewer part-time people. The reader should also remember that most of the two-week vacationers and none of the day-to-three-day vacationers are included in these figures. (A more detailed and comprehensive analysis of Southold's economy is forthcoming in another report which is being prepared by the Agricultural Economics Department st Cornell). In this chmpter~ we have discussed the pertinent characteristics o£ the population. Many further anslyses and comments could oe ~de concerning the characteristics of the population. Appendix A presents all of these charsetaristics~ and i£ the reader follows the instructions precedin~ Appendix A, a more complete picture will be gained. RLC :65 :O51 TABLE 30.

The "total" column will give important information to the town leaders and planners. This column should be checked first for each of the 260 items. For example, Table 17 on page 6 of Appendix A shows the income distribution, and the "total" column depicts the income profile for Southold Town (both permanent end part-time residents). This column tells the per cent of the population in each income category and will give such information as the size of the low income group in Southold, the size of bhe wealthy category, etc. I~, for certain purposes, the town leaders are only interested in permanent residents, then column one (Permanent) should be used. I_T a comparison between permanent and part-time residents is required, then one should check to see if the percentage distributions are similar in columns one and two or are different; if they are different, then the reader knows thst permanent vs. part-time residence is related to that particular item. RLC :65:051 The income distribution is a good example of this, for here we see s s~rong relationship between permanent and part-time residence. The comparison between waterfront residence and "inland:' residence is included because~ at times~ the place of residence is more important to an item than il the length of time lived in Southold during the year. The reader will note in Table i that 35~ of the people living on waterfront property are permanent residents. NOTES (1) Tables 249 to 260 are depictions of Fisher's Island residents only. It was important to present them separately for certain items because of the different nsture of the social and economic situations on Fisher's Island.

COPE OF SERVICES SECTION OF CONTRACT Non-701 Work The following non-701 work is not to be considered as an eligible cost item. Objectives: In the short run it is to develqp data which will be of the greatest use to local planning boards and professional planners in the decisions which they face in the development and imple- mentation of land use plans and controls. In the long run it is the development of conceptual and factual models of the processes of land use change which describe, explain~ and, perhaps, predict the effects upon egricultural & urban growth--both with respect to the farm firm and at the community level. This would include an analysis of the land market st the rural-urban fringe and evaluation of external economies and diseconomies to the farm firm from nearby urban growth and specification of the role o£ various institutions and groups. 1. Full-time commercial farmers will be interviewed to obtain: a) Inventory of productive assets and enterprise chsrac- teristics including land resources, cropping systems and livestock, buildings and equipment. RLC:65:©5! b) Specification of incompatibility of nearby activities (i.e., negative external effects) which are of interest in zoning. c) Input-output or economic base data including puu~cnsses from other sectors and sales to other sectors. d) Other data to provide a basis for evaluating posi- tive external effects of non-£arm activities (ag., analysis of roadside retail sales). Analysis will be developed based upon available data to indicate how different lands do and could contribute community welfare. Data will be analyzed From present farmers (see above)~ the Cooperative Extension Service and other agencies~ soil maps~ ground water studies~ ~irst hand observation~ etc. Supporting text and general- ized maps would be prepared showing a) areas presently farmed indicating any enterprise combinations significantly di£ferent between areas b) Classification of areas presently farmed on the basis o£ their physical and economic suitability i'or non-urban use. This will indicate those that can make the greatest contribution to the economic base of the community. These rankings will be based upon classi- fy-lng sll full-time con~nercial £arms in terms oF income expectance levels relative to other areas oF the ~ts~e on the results of an input-output economic base RLC:65:051 analysis. Some attention will be given to the rela- tive open space benefits of different areas with respect to existing or anticil~ted urbanization and unique physical features. c) areas physically suited to farming but not now farmed which are not actively put to sny other use. d) areas that have been released from farming because their physical endowments have become obsolete for agriculture yet are not actively put to any other use, and areas that are likely to be released because they will become obsolete. e) urbanized areas and projected alternative urbaniza- tion patterns partially adapted frc~ other planning studies ~%e impact of urban growth on agriculture will be evaluated as it is expressed through the real estate market~ the property tax and direct physical take over. This will involve: a) Sale prices over the last l0 years of parcels now over 5 acres that would be physically suited to modern farming and used or probably used for that purpose all or part of the time since World War II. b) Ownership turnover rates and trends in prices of parcels related to explanatory variables RLC :65:051 c) Real estate taxes paid on such parcels d) Relationships between rental rates for farm use snd sale prices e) Investigation of relationships between the charac- teristics of farm businesses snd items a) through d) above f) A generalized map of expansion in non-farm uses of land since World War II related to relative suitability for agriculture (see 2 above).

RIE :65 :O51 Objectives: l) Procedures: 1.s.) To determine methods for estimating the economic impact of recreation on a community. To make an estimate of such economic impact in the Town of Southold. To determine the probable effect of future population and economic growth on the recreational complex. To make suggestions for planning future L~nd and water use in terms of recreation development or protection of recreational resources. Personal interviews and mail questionnaires will be a~mistered to determine expendltures~ and ether cbaracteristics~ of participants in outdoor recrea- tion activities including fishing, boating~ swimmi~, hunting, riding and golfing. One hundred or more participants will be interviewed under a stratified random sample prccedure~ ior each major recreational activity. All operators of commercial recreational concerns will be interviewed. ~xisting data from state and federal sources will be examined to determine their suitability for evalua- ting the economic role of recreation within a limited Comparisons between methods to determine agreement, rela- tive costs and accuracy~ will be mad~o RLC:65:051 b.) 4.) Aerial photographs o£ participant concentration points, visual counts of participants, and cars~ will be among the techniques used for determining the extent o£ participation in selected activities. The information gathered under item i will provide the basic data for an estimate of the present economic impact of recreation in the Town. ~ne impact of the commercial fishery will also be estimated because of the close biological and econonutc relationship to the sport fishery. ~ans of projecting existing demands into estimates of futttre demands for various recreational activities will be tested. Probable biological ef£ects of future demnds will be examined and mitigating actions suggested if a need exists.

RLC:65:O51 A PPF2~DIX D - 86 - RLC:65:051 THE SAMPLING PROCEDURE The tax assessors, led by Mr. Martocchia helped us solve a very difficult problem. When a sample of a population is to be dr~wn, s listing of the total population is required. A listing of the total permanent population may have been devised, but we had little idea of the total part-time population in Southold Town. The tax assessors aided us remar- kably in identifying the use of each individual structure in Southold Town. With their help~ we obtained a list of all businesses, all farms, and all residences (accomodating either part-time or permanent dwellers). The school district boundaries were utilized to identify seven separate areas in Southold: (1) Orient and East M~rion, (2) Unincor- porated Greenport: (3) Greenport Village, (4) Southold and Peconic, (5) Cutchogue, New Suffolk and East Cutchogue~ (6) Mattituck and Lattrel~ (7) Fisher's Island. A six per cent random sample of Southold Town was chosen by the following technique. The proportion of permanent and part-time residents in each of the seven districts was computed. Each district was then sampled soparately so that the proportion of the total population of both perma- nent and part-time residents in each district also occurred in the sample. The sample was chosen in a strictly random manner, allowing each family in Southold an equal chance of appearing in the sample. This random technique allowed us to use probability mathematics to estimate the charac- teristics of the total population from our sampled data.
