Dear Mr. Wickham:
I have decided to view the Fairway Farms Subdivision at
Cutchogue after discussing the sub-division map I have in
mind; the site to be located at the northeast corner of
Aldrich Lane and Montauk Highway in Laurel.
I am somewhat confused, as a practical matter I would like
to know what can the problem be should anyone park or run
off the hard surface or the paved surface and find himself
possibly in soft sand and gravel which would be an impossibi-
lity to drive out of back to the hard surface since I feel the
cars would bog down unless they were four wheel drive.
I can also see the risk that could be involved for someone
to drive on the road and unbeknown to him that the shoulders
of the road were made up of sand and gravel for the purpose
intended (drainage) and he could very easily lose control of
the car should he hit a soft spot and this can be hazardous.
I saw Alden Young and he discussed this plan with me at length.
I understand there is also the problem of the maintenance of
this drainage swale and this supposedly may be placed on the
owners of the lots adjoining the drainage area. This, of course,
becomes another problem.
What is the liability to the owner of that plot facing on that
road or street and does he have to carry insurance to cover
himself? Does this portion of the road remain undedicated?
Who does the snow plowing and maintenance of the hard top
portion of the road? It would appear to me this type of a
road system would be very involved and I am sure it could mean
many problems to the town in which these roads are built.

I wish to state my case in reference to the 81 acres I
have in mind to sell off as ranchettes varying in size
from a minimum of 4,000 sq. ft. to a possibility of
200,000 sq. ft. The idea being that I would want a road
built through the entire parcel and then offer the ranchettes
for sale which would vary in size according to the customer's
needs. This would not necessarily be a sub-division as such.
It would be only sold and parcelled off as miniature farms or
ranches, and this is where my problem arises as to what type
of a road and drainage I would need to satisfy the town.
Is it possible for me to set up an appointment to meet before
you and the board and discuss this in further detail, at your
convenience?
Your early reply will be greatly appreciated.

Gentlemen:
I'm about to sub-divide approximately one hundred acres
into possibly two and three acre ranchettes. The pur-
pose here will be to comply with a plan as being sugg-
ested by John Klein, to maintain more agricultural land.
The purchasers of these ranchettes will be interested in
the various phases of agricultural activity. I realize
there may have to be roads developed for access and poss-
ibly drainage. What would the requirement be in your
township, as to the type of road that would be accepted,
in the dedication? What would be the width of the ri~ht-
a,,~"'-..!.~2:9~__?!...J.laving .required. I would assume
that curbing would not be necessary, as this would destroy
the rural effect.
Your early reply will be sincerely appreciated.
Very truly yours,
.4...- ~ ~ -
