Notes from meeting with Costello and Fishetti
May 1986
Proposing a mix of moderate price housing
nothing higher than 140,000 for three bedroom with the garage
Mix would be 100 3 and 4 bedroom units for $100,000 each
other 100 would be 1 and 2 bedroom units, mostley 2 bedroom units.
it would be condo ownership, separate houses with 0 lot line
3D' apart for fire separations.
Mr. Fishetti stated that he did a job in Coram with 0 lot line
which were attached by storage room.
single family houses on courts
50% of the houses about 75,000 - 85,000
would have to negotiate with the Village of Greenport for
utilities.
Would not ask for waiver on the roads
but would need 2 ingress/egress or 2 tap streets
would put in 200-212 units however would have to be "Multiple"
because the zone change only allowed for one-acre lots.

Re: Southold Town Hall Meeting. Friday March 14th. 3:00' p.m..
To Whom It May Concern:
Since November. 1984 I have been attempting to purs~e a development
on Moore's Lane to provide an opportunity for young working people in
Southold Town to stay here and work for the goal of owning their own
home. I am sure that there are. many interested people. especially our
our public officials. that would like to see the same thing accomplished.
Financially I .cannot procede on an indefinate time schedule, Presently
there are several areas of decision making that have to be done ty our
local governmental bodies to proceed. First of all. to get the required
density I will require public water and public sewer. of which ,the Village
of Greenport has control. Secondly. Southold Town presently has no zoning
for detached housing on ~-acre lots (under proposed Master Plan it will
be allowed under Hamlet Oensity Zoning. but I do not feel that it will
be adopted as quickly as intended). Thirdly. I will need possibly a variance
or waiver to develop seperate lots. Next. I will need site plan approval
from the Southold Town Planning Board. and lastly. I will need permits
from the Southold Town Building Department.
Again. I would like to reiterate that I cannot afford to pursue
this project indefinately. If the municipal oficials want something to
become of this. I am sure that the decisions will be made quickly and
possibly something can be done. If not. I would like to be told so.
I would appreciate your input on' Friday'March 14th at the Town Hall
so that I Will know what direction I will have to pursue.

Dear Board Members:
John Costello is the fee owner of approximately 50 acres of
land on the west side of the Village of Greenport all within
the Town of Southold.
On December 3, 1985 the property was rezoned upon his petition
to "M" Light Multiple Residence zoning status.
An informational hearing was recently held concerning a
proposed amendment to the Master Plan and/or the rezoning of
various parcels throughout the Town. From this informational
hearing it would appear that the subject parcel, which had
recently been rezoned as aforesaid, is going to be rezoned to
two acre residential status.
This rezoning seems inappropriate. We assume it is an
oversight. We call this to your attention and ask for your
advice as to whether or not there is any zoning change proposed
for the subject premises.
We await your advice.
Very truly yours,
lI_v,\Yl1

Dear Mr. Costello:
To answer your letter of December 31, 1985, I shall first have to make
you aware of the difference between a multiple residence and a one family
residence. I have enclosed the section of the zoning law that defines
the two.
In the M-Light Multiple Residence District you are permitted to have
the following uses which are subject to a site plan approval by the
Planning Board.
1. One family dwellings not to exceed one dwelling on each lot.
The lot size would have to be minimum 80,000 square feet and
property would require subdivision approval by the Planning
Board. (Sec. 100-40 A (1)).
2. Multiple dwellings, must be designed for and occupied by not
more than four families in one building not to exceed 125 feet
in length. (Sec. 100-40 A (2)).
Your 48 acre parcel may be subdivided into 40,000 sq. ft. lots as
permitted by Art. IV, Sec. 100-41 Bulk Schedule. The use shall be for
a multiple dwelling and the density is subject to availability of public
water and sewage. If either one are not available, then the lot size
would have to be 80,000 square feet of land for a building containing
four living units.
To establish single dwelling units, each on a lot of 10,000 square
feet under single ownership in the M-Light Multiple Residence District
you will require variances under the following sections of zoning as it
stands today.
1. Art. IV, Sec. 100-40 A (1), this section permits single family
residence as regulated by Sec. 100-30 A.
2. Art. III, Sec. 100-31, Bulk Schedule, this section sets lot
size requirements for the one family residence under Art. III.

In the developement of a site for multiple residence use the density
would be calculated on the square foot area of the parcel being developed.
Unlike a subdivision for single family residence where each lot is held
in single and separate ownership, the roads, in this case driveways, are
not disallowed in computing density requirements.
Keep in mind this type of developement is in single ownership. If
you were developing under a condominium concept the land would be in
common ownership.
I am including copies of zoning that apply to your proposed develope-
mente
Trusting this to be of some help to you in developing your plans. If
you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

a forty-eight acre parcel of land, located on Route
48 and \1oore's Lane in the unincorporated Village of
Sreenport, from A-qesi'lential/l\'jricultural to :\i-Light
Multiple Resiiential. I have recieved this zone change.
I would 1 ike to ascertain, if under \1-Lig ht
zoning, it is possible to have four separate and
distinct dwelling units within a forty-thousand square
foot area or do the units have to be attached and conform
to the maximum one-hundred-twenty-five foot building
length as described in 100-40 A2? I am asking this
question under the presulnption that I will be granted
public water and sewer.
What are the basic steps required to proceed with
a development allowing one detached unit on each ten-
thousand square feet of land? I am aware that site
plan approval is necessary and in the new proposed
MPster Plan HD allows for the detached housing. Under
present zoning, how do I proceed in obtaining the
necessary approvals?
Lastly, I would like to know if the density on the
property is calculated on the total area divided by
forty-thousand or is there a discounted allowance for
roads and drainage discharge under '-I-Light Residential
zoning?
Any assistance you can give me in
questions will be greatly appreciated.

The Planning Board wishes to go on record with regard to the C~st~llo
Rezoning DEIS. The DEIS is basically very similar to the one
prepared for the former annexation effort and so much of its
content has been reviewed and commented on previously. This
project, however, has potentially significant and different
impacts from the annexation and these need to be addressed. These
are as follows:
1) "M" Zone vs "RD" District
The "M" Zone will not entirely accomplish the applicants stated
desire, that is to produce affordable single family lots. Nor
will it in itself accomplish affordable housing of any kind. It
is thus recommended that the "HD" District be applied to this site
as soon as feasible. In the interim, covenants and restrictions
should be utilized or a rezoning conditioned on the provision of
affordable housing as defined by the Town.
2) Impact on on-site-well
It has not been clearly demonstrated what effect that 180
dwellings on 48 acres will have on an on-site well in terms of
recharge quality. Input from the Village water system and the
County Health Department would seem necessary in this regard.
Existing water quality in the test well is acceptable, but there
will be a loss of recharge due to consumptive use and wastewater
collection, and there will be an introduction of lawn fertilizers
and other household contaminants into the recharged groundwater.
The impact on groundwater, (and the on-site well) has not been
stated.
Input from the Village of Greenport's water system and from the
Suffolk County Department of Health would also seem necessary in
the event that one or both public utilities would prove to be
unavailable. ( A letter from the Health Department on the
annexation alternative is included in this DEIS. We ~on't feel
this is acceptable as a review of this project under SEQR.)
In conclusion, we agree with the stated merits of the rezoning
proposed, but some conditions need to be placed on it to assure
the Town that the stated purpose will be achieved.

Dear Mrs. Terry:
The following action was taken by the Southold Town Planning
Board, Monday, September 16, 1985.
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board recommend to
the Town Board that the change of zone application of. John
Costello from "A" Agricultural and Reaidential to "M" Light
Multiple, located at Greenport, be approved.
It is the Planning Board's intent, in endorsing the M, Light-
Multiple zone, to obtain affordable housing. Therefore, the
Board also recommends that any approval be conditioned upon
obtaining approved covenants and restrictions to parallel the
. "Hamlet Density" zone in the proposed zoning ordinance to
provide for affordable housing.

County Health Department would seem necessary in this regard.
Existing water quality in the test well is acceptable, but there
will be a loss of recharge due to consumptive use and wastewater
collection, and there will be an introduction of lawn fertilizers
and other household contaminants into the recharged groundwater.
The impact on groundwater, (and the on-site well) has not been
stated.
Input from the Village of Greenport's water system and from the
Suffolk County Department of Health would also seem necessary in
the event that one or both public utilities would prove to be
unavailable. ( A letter from the Health Department on the
annexation alternative is included in this DEIS. We don't feel
this is acceptable as a review of this project under SEQR.)
In conclusion, we agree with the stated merits of the rezoning
proposed, but some conditions need to be placed on it to assure
the Town that the stated purpose will be achieved.

Introduction
(
The following checklist of topics is intended
as a starting point for developing a detailed scope
for a project-specific Draft Environmental Impact
Statement. Typically, no one project will require a
discussion of all the topic areas contained in this
document. Through the scoping process, this list of
topics should be refined to reflect issues unique to
the proposed project. Topic areas may be deleted,
added, or elaborated upon, to arrive at the final
scoping document.
The purpose of the checklist format is to
identify the basic topic areas for the Draft EIS. This
is accomplished by reviewing the list and placing a
check in the box located to the left of those topics
which should be discussed. The model scoping
checklist can also be used as a worksheet, including
comments, suggestions and identification of the
particular example(s) that are relevant to a detailed
discussion of the topic or issue that has been check-
ed. Conversely, those topics which are not checked,
are issues not associated with the project, and may
be eliminated from discussion in the Draft EIS.
Minimum requirements for any Draft EIS are
already checked for convenience.
The next step is to expand the list to include
or elaborate on those topics unique to the proposed
project. A blank sheet is included at the end of the
checklist for such additional information.
The scoping process involves several steps in
addition to compiling a list of topics. Scoping also
includes discussiors on the quantity and quality of
information required and the methods for obtaining
that data.
(
NOTE: This checklist was designed to be
used in conjunction with the section on scoping con-
tained in the SEQR Guideline-Draft and Final EIS's.
It is also important to emphasize that this checklist
should serve only as a model to assist in the scoping
of a Draft EIS. It should not be used as a substitute
for actively scoping a Draft EIS for a specific pro-
ject.
I. Cover Sheet
All EIS's (Draft or Final) shall begin with a cover
sheet that indicates:
A. Whether it is a draft or final statement
B. Name or other descriptive title of the project
C. Location (county and town, village or city) of
the project
D. Name and address of the lead agency which
II!J required preparation of the statement and
the name and telephone number of a person
at the agency to be contacted for further in.
formation
E. Name and address of the preparers of any
portion of the statement and a contact name
and telephone number
F. Date of acceptance of the Draft EIS
G. In the case of a Draft EIS, the deadline date
by which comments are due should be in-

II. Table of Contents and Summary
. A table of contents and a brief summary are re-
~U1red for Draft and Final EIS's exceeding 10 pages
In length. However, one should include these
features in any size EIS to provide the review agency
with easy reference to EIS topics_
. The summary should include:

PUBLIC HEAR ING
NOV 1 1985
SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
OCTOBER 29, 1985
7:30 P.M.
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF JOHN A. COSTELLO FOR A CHANGE OF ZONE
FROM "A" RESIDENTIAL AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO "M" LIGHT MULTIPLE
RESIDENCE DISTRICT AT GREENPORT, TOWN OF SOUTHOLD, NEW YORK.
Present: Supervisor Francis J. Murphy
Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr.
Justice Raymond W. Edwards
Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh
Councilman James A. Schondebare
Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran
* * *
Town Clerk Judith T. Terry
Town Attorney Robert W. Tasker
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This is a public hearing on the change of zone petition of
John A. Costello, the legal notice to be read by Councilman Townsend.
COUNC ILMAN TOWNSEND: The legal notice reads as follows: "Pursuant to Section
265 of the Town Law and requirements of the Code of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County, New York, a public hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Southold at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold, New York, at 7:30 o'clock
P.M., on the 29th day of October, 1985, on the proposal of John A. Costello to amend
the Building Zone Ordinance, (including the Building Zone Maps) of the Town of
Southold, Suffolk County, New York, by changing from "A" Residential and Agricultural
District to "M" Light Multiple Residence District all that certain plot, piece or parcel
of land, situate, lying and being at Greenport, Town of Southold, County of Suffolk
and State of New York, and more particularly bounded and described as follows:"
What follows is a the metes and bounds description which I'll dispense with now.
The property lies on southeast corner of Route 48 and Moores Lane, approximately
48 acres.
We have notice of publication in The Suffolk Times, The Long Island Traveler-
Watchman, and posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board.
There is a recommendation from the County Planning Board which reads as
follows: "Pursuant to the requirements of Sections 1323 to 1332 of the Suffolk County
Charter, the Suffolk County Planning Commission on October 2, 1985 reviewed the
above captioned application and after due study and deliberation Resolved to approve
it subject to the following: 1. Premises shall be restricted for affordable housing
accomodations; 2. All dwelling units shall be owner occuped; and 3. A qualified
purchaser clause shall be established with occupancy guaranteed for a minimum of
five (5) years. If the housing unit is sold prior to the expiration of such time
period, all profits shall be retained by the Town of Southold for affordable housing
purposes." Signed, Lee Koppelman.
We have a letter from the Town Planning Board: "Resolved that the Southold
Town Planning Board recommend to the Town Board that the change of zone application
of John Costello from "A" Agricultural and Residential to "M" Light Multiple, located at
Greenport, be approved. It is the Planning Board's intent, in enforsing the M, Light
Multiple zone, to obtain affordable housing. Therefore, the Board also recommends
Page 2 - Costeahange of Zone hearing
.
t ~
that any approval be conditioned upon obtaining approved covenants and restrictions
to parallel the "Hamlet Density" zone in the proposed zoning ordinance to provide for
affordable housi ng. "
There are a couple of letters on the file. One is a statement by Martin Trent
of Orient. He would like it read so I will comply with that request. "Statement by
Martin Trent of Orient, New York to the Southold Town Board regarding the Costello
zone change request at the public hearing held on October 29, 1985. I believe the
Town Board members already know my views, and that I can support those views with
facts. So, I'll just briefly restate them for the record. I oppose the size and density
of the requested downzoning. It is eight times the density currently allowed. Two
acre zoning was adopted by Southold to preserve its rural character, quality of life,
and to protect the environment. One quarter acre zoning does nothing to further these
goals. The proposed downzoning would result in the loss of open space and a desperately
needed watershed area for the Village of Greenport's water supply. One quarter acre
zoning does nothing to address these problems. The requested downzoning is contrary
to the recommendations of the North Fork Water Supply Plan, allowing up to eight times
the consumptive water use. This is of great concern considering that Greenport Water
District had to close down well fields 4 and 8 this past summer due to saltwater intrusion.
One quarter acre zoning would make matters worse and exacerbate this situation. The
proposed downzoning would result in Southold Town subsidizing greater profits for a
real estate speculator who knowingly purchased a property zoned two acres. I don't
need to hear lectures about the desirability of affordable housing. Of course it's
desirable. I've worked my tail off since I was 16 years old to make my home affordable!
The Town Board need not approve this proposal just because it's there. Southold
deserves better. For these reasons, I ask the Town Board to retain the current
zoning. "
The second letter is from William L. Schoreher, President, Stirling Eastern
Shores. "We wish to bring to your attention that recent statements made as to the
current zoning of Eastern Shores as being 1/3 acre is incorrect. Eastern Shores is
comprised of two sections - the smaller of the two entering on McCann's Lane. This
contains 66 lots on 35.05 acres; the average lot being approximately 1/2 acre in size.
The larger portion of Eastern Shores enters onto Moore's Lane North and is nearest
the Costello property; consequently it will be most effected by any down zoning. This
section is zoned for 1/2 acre lots with some parcels nearly an acre or more. Also,
please be aware that Homestead, Acres, a new development now under construction near
the Costello property is zoned for 1/2 to one full acre plus lots. Thank you for your
time, we hope this clarifies some of the facts involved."
I believe that is the entire file.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joe. Is there anyone here would Iike--I see
the applicant here. Would he like to address the Town Board, or his representative?
John?
MR. JOHN A. COSTELLO: Well, as you all know there is a lack of affordable housing
projects in Southold. I'm not recommending that even this could possibly be affordable.
Moderate income housing is a problem. There are no small lots. They are being
bought up. I don't know if Mr. Trent is here---
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: He's not here.
MR. COSTELLO: Mr. Trent is advocating--there is a watershed area in this district.
If the water isn't used in some areas, this water isn't stagnated, it flows out to the
sea, then it is lost. There's hundreds of acres of watershed area next to this parcel
in the Greenport area. There's water on this parcel that I think will accomodate more
than what we're advocating on the property. Presently I don't believe that Southold
.pa~e 3 - Costello Change of ZO.hearing
.
Town has the zoning, has any guarantees, has any stipulations that will guarantee
any type of affordable housing. "M" zone, I don't believe, completely does it.
Southampton has modified their "M" zone and gives an incentive for putting higher
densities on. For instance on their similar "M" zone zoning their incentive is to put
more houses on the property you have to allow a certain percentage of that housing
to be developed as moderate income housing. Even on their five acre parcels, their
three acre parcels in Southampton they'll give you increased density if you will allow
a percentage of that density to go to affordable housing. This hasn't been done in
Southold. You know, as of July 16th you decreased the density on the "M" zone.
With water and sewer, before July 16th, there was six units--dwelling units allowed.
In July you reduced it to four. Without water and sewer you have it down to two.
I mean I'm sure there must have been a lot of thought into that. This "M" zone
presently and the reason for this hearing only allows one acre parcels. If the "M"
zone is approved. It's going to take time to pursue water and sewer. Mr. Trent
also speaks about consumptive use of water. Roof runoff with dry well systems,
proper recharging in the area, which is basically one of the Planning Board's jobs,
will have a positive result in groundwater. Mr. Trent, you know, can figure that
one out and then he can talk with his engineers or whoever, you know. I know Mr.
Trent isn't speaking for the Health Department, but as an individual and God bless
him for it. These concerns, right now are to try to get the lots developed to give
any of the young people the best opportunity that's available in Southold Town.
Presently "M" zone is it. I think there's a lot of work that has to be done on it.
I'm going to try to pursue the "M" zone. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, John. Merle, do you want to speak?
f- MR. MERLON WIGG IN: I might just add a couple of things to what John has already
said. The "M" zone, as you know, is limited to 40,000 square feet. The density can
be four units. This means you would have a choice of apartment type units of four
units within a single structure. This makes it difficult to pursue the public idea of
quarter acre zoning and sweat equity in your own house on your own lot. Now one
thing this perhaps does do is that after the "M" zone is approved and the master
planner comes along the line and then it gets changed to a Hamlet Density, then that
provides the provision to go to one quarter acre lots, which is what we've been talking
about at many of the public hearings. I would just like to clarify that. This "M"
zone is only a step towards what we've been trying to achieve for the affordable
housing and moderate income housing. The other thing I might add is that this is
probably---Iet me back up a second. When we did the DEIS we were directed to
look at other lots that would be available in Southold Town that could be developed
for moderate income houses. This is probably the best possible there is available
that has the most easy access to public water and public sewer. Some of the others
do have public water, but none of them have public sewer. Most of the others are
zoned two acres now, with one, I think, proposed in the Master Plan to be zoned one
acre. So it's been talked about numbers of need in Southold Town of 150 to 200 house
lots or moderate income housing units. This is probably one of the best parcels available
for this. If this is not pursued along this line then it makes it more difficult, in our
opinion, to find other parcels that could be used to meet the needs of the moderate
income housing. Hopefully I clarified some of the things of what the "M" zone does
and what it does not do.
~
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Merlon, excluse me. Would you just clarify that
first point again.
Page 4 - Costell.hange of Zone hearing
.
'. -
MR. WIGGINS: The size of the "M" zone lots?
COUNCilMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes.
MR. WIGGINS: That's 20,000 square feet, so to achieve the density of four units
per acre, or 40,000 square feet, it has to be in a single structure. There is only
one structure allowed per acre lot in the "M" zone. Does that clarify that?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay. On the left over here, is there anyone would like
to speak in favor of this proposed zone change? (No response.) Anyone in the
middle? (No response.) Anyone on the right? (No response.) Anyone like to
speak in opposition to this proposed zone change? Go ahead, sir.
MR. WI llAIM L. SCHOREHER: First of all in yesterday's Newsday it said that John
Costello is going to build 72 houses in this area. Is Mr. Costello going to be the
prime contractor on this project? And will the 72 homes take up the entire property,
50 or 48.5 acres, whatever it is? If not, what's going to happen to the balance of
the acreage? Number two, I don't know where Mr. Costello got his information from,
but Eastern Shores and Homestead Acres are not 1/3 acres. They are half acre plots.
And number three, I don't think I'm stupid, but I would like to know what affordable
housing is in Southold Town? Nobody has ever defined it or described it to me. I
would like somebody to describe it to me, whether it be Mr. Costello or Joe Townsend.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else would like to make any comments? (No
response.) Anyone like to make any comments at all? John?
MR. COSTEllO: I'd like to answer Mr. Schoreher. There's five different subdivisions
in Eastern Shores. Anytime you'd like to submit the maps of the division. The largest
parcel on it is one acre lot up on the Sound and down on McCann Drive and a few of
those Drives it calculates the entire subdivision, there are three houses per acre and
I'm willing to supply him with maps. At that day and age, you know, that was allowable
'lnd it's a fact and I think it's a good community for the Village of Greenport and Town
of Southold. We need that size lots. I'm not condemning them for it. This subdivision
was just planned that way and it was allowed at that time. Well, as affordable housing
goes, and he wants an explanation on affordable housing, I think that to start affordable
housing is trying to get a smaller lot at the most economical price in the hands of the
person that needs it. That's a start. I think--I don't believe that any young person,
and I'm sure and himself included, didn't contribute and didn't work on his house in
stages over a period of years. A second home builder might be able to ,write the
checks. The working man and the younger people, and I'm sure most everyone here,
everyone in this room, put the sweat equity into it because they didn't have the
money, but they had plenty of backbone. That develops into affordable housing. They
can stop anytime you get tired. Or run out of money. And each and everyone of us
doesn't have wheelbarrows full of it. As a second home, if you sold ypur first one and
made a big profit, you might be able to hire the entire job out. I would hate to build
a house, with a garage, landscape it, put sod in, put sprinkler systems in, pour the
water on the grass, have it green, and then have some young guy say, you worked it
right out of my ballpark. I can't afford the garage, the fireplace, the sod, the
sprinklers, but I would take the bare house. And I think there's more people in that
field and more people with that need than any other single group in Southold and I'd
like to see them get it. Get that opportunity. And I believe that Southold Town has
that obligation to make sure they do. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, John. Joe, would you like to make a comment?
. P<tge- 5 - Costello Change of za hearing
.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Just on--I don't
to--wanted to know what the price, or what
was. That was, I think, your question.
know whether Mr. Schoreher was referring
I thought the price of affordable housing
MR. SCHOREHER: That's right, Joe. What is the price for affordable housing?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I think on the Housing Committee they looked at that and
the figures they came up with were, I think, between $65,000 and $70,000, based on
the mean income of Southold residents. I have to review their report, which I didn't
bring with me at this time, but I think that was the figure they came up with. There
are guidelines as to what affordable housing is and it's based on a certain percentage
of your income being used for mortage payments and so forth, and making certain
assumptions about how much money you may have set aside. But generally that figure
is anywhere from $65,000 to $80,000. I think in this Town it's a little bit shy of
$80,000 because we don't have that high a mean income. Jay just points out that under
certain proposals that we have before us they're proposing a $58,000 house. That house
is subsidized by the other houses in that particular proposal. I know that Greenport
has found someone who will put a house up on a lot for $48,000 and those are under
contract now.
MR. SCHOREHER: Is this considered subsidized housing?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No, I don't believe it's considered subsidized, other than
the fact there may be some zoning considerations. That could be a subsidy of sorts,
but I don't think it's subsidized by any straight dollars from the Federal government
or from your taxes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay. Is there any other Town Board member would like to
make any comments on this?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'm just answering some questions.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Would you like to make some comments on the hearing?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay? (No.) Jean? (Thank you, no.) Ray? (Nothing, thank
you.) Paul? (No.) Anyone else? (No response.) If not we'll close the hearing.
Hearing closed at 7: 53 P.M.

7. That upon information and belief, the Town of
Southold has an obligation to assist in the community's providing
I
housing for the residents of the Town regardless of their economic
status. This petitioner is desirous of having the zoning status
of the property changed so as to allow the property to be
developed for multiple residence use. with such a zoning status
this petitioner can undertake the construction and marketing of
I
multiple residence units at a price to the public that will assist
in helping fill the existing residential demand for "moderate
income" housing. In this manner the Town will be better able to
attract and retain workers of a more modest income than
,
~
.
.
that of the "second" homeowners who are able to afford houses on
two acre sites.
WHEREFORE, your petitioner prays that the Town Board
entertain the subject application and upon due consideration
change the zoning status of the premises to Light Multiple
Residence.
