Public Water Supply Distribution Planning

Valerie also discussed the strategies for land preservation such as
hopscotch, leveraging and augmenting.
Benny Orlowski explained to the committee the Planning Board's view
of the Simmons property. The Town had purchased the development
rights on this property in 1987. When Mr. Simmons filed his subdivision
map for the lots in back, the proposed road to these lots was not where
he would like to put it now. He would like to put in on the other side
of the trees, which means using some of the land that the Town had
bought the development rights on.
Regarding the Bagley/Hanauer property in Southold, Mr. Bagley turned
down the $150,000.00 offer made to him. However, Joe will ask him to
put in another application for the lot adjouring Hommels Pond.
With no further business to be discussed, the meeting was adjourned at
9:30 p.m.
