Joint Meeting on the Master Plan
-2-
February ,;9, 1966
It was requested that the Mayor and the Supervisor try
to keep the same census districts for 1970 as were used in
1960 so a comparison can be made on all the items listed.
Mr. Weinroth displayed a preliminary land use map of
the Town and another of the Village. The Village was asked
to take their's and check it for accuracy, street names, and
other data shown, and have it ready for the March meeting.
Copies of memoranda No. 8 were distributed. This covered
preliminary housing report based on the 1960 census.
The metho~s of taking a census were discussed, also the
time of taking a census, and if it was done by the Federal
Government or private companies who specialize in this field.
Memoranda No. 8 was gone over and discussed section by
section. The accuracy of the home owner's estimate of value
of their houses was questioned.
Mr. Weinroth is to check on some of the housing conditions,
as some of census terms do not fit the actual condition of
buildings today.
There was a discussion on the types of Ordinances that
can be passed to controll the up-keep of premises and main-
tenance of buildings, both residential and commercial. Also,
it was suggested that changing the time of census taking can
affect the "per capita" aid programs, either up or down depending
on either summer or winter population.
Progress Report No. 9 was distributed.
Mr. Weinroth reported that he has looked over the proposed
amendments to the Southold Town Zoning Ordinance that are now
before the Town Board for action, and he finds nothing wrong
with them in their present form. These will be more or less
a "stop gap" measure until the new Zoning Ordinance is drawn
up at the end of the Planning Program.
Mr. Weinroth suggested that the height of apartment
buildings should be the same in all districts.
Mr. Weinroth stated that he plans to have Mr. Whitlock
at the April meeting with his report on the water resources.

"road end" situation and begin to plan for some "Neighborhood"
