Require inquiry re: potential preservation.
Enzo Morabito, a real estate broker, met with Melissa Spiro and John Sepenoski
to discuss the potential for the preservation of approximately 50 acres now for
sale in the real estate market. As in the past, the LPC was unsure that these
parcels were priority preservation parcels and decided to hold off any further
discussions concerning this property until such time as the Southold Town Board
finalizes and adopts the HALO boundaries.
