Councilman James A. Schondebare
Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran
Councilman George L. Penny IV
Town Clerk Judith T. Terry
Town Planning Consultant David Emilita

Supervisor Murphy introduced the Town Board members, Planning Consultant and
Town Clerk. He then explained the history of the current proposed updated master
plan and zoning code revisions and the purpose of the hamlet meeting, which is to
receive public comment and suggestions to avoid any grave mistakes should the
present proposal be submitted to a public hearing for adoption.
Approximately 100 individuals attended this meeting, and the following comments and
objections were received:
FRANK McBRIDE, Oregon Road, Cutchogue: He is the owner of two parcels of land
adjoining the Disposal Area, Cutchogue. One on the north side presently zoned
Industrial and one on the west side of the site which is also Industrial. The proposal
is to rezone to Agricultural Conservation. He cannot imagine anyone wanting to build
a house in that area overlooking the Disposal Area. He requests that it remain
Industrial.
P~§e 2 - Cutchogue
Meeting 2/6/86
ALICE HUSSEY: He feeling is the master plan is only half of what it ought to be,
and that half could be improved. She finds only 11 exceptions to the old master
plan. She suggested a concentric circle idea at the center of each hamlet for
density and outer circle of less density, out to the shorelines having wldle open
spaces.
TOM THOMPSON: Referred to a parcel on County Route 48 which is residential and
overlooks the Disposal Area. He would like to see it changed to Business.
JOSEPH LIZEWSKI, Cutchogue: Expressed concern about the many breakdowns in
the zoning classifications. He spoke about a parcel he uses as a dental office on
Depot Lane which is being classified R-80, but feels it should be Business. He
feels the proposed plan will make it difficult to get anything done due to the amounts
and types of zoning proposed which are so specifiC.
WILLIAM MIDGLEY, Cutchogue: There are no areas in the proposed Master Plan
for those people who provide services to the community, i.e. plumber, electrician,
builder, mason. His own business, used as a building contractor, is being downgraded.
NANCY SAWASTYNOWICZ: She finds nothing in the Marine uses in the proposed plan
for pumping-out stations. The DEC tells her this would be a good time to include it.
TOM LOWRY, New Suffolk: Spoke about the Carr (Norris) property on New Suffolk
Avenue which is under consideration by the Planning Board for an "M" zone 95 unit
condominium on 27 acres, the zoning of which was by a Town Board change of zone
in the 1970's.
RUTH OLIVA, North Fork Environmental Council: As a whole this plan is really
quite good, but needs a bit of fine tuning. Asked that Article XXII be reincluded.
Marine Recreation and Marine Business: finds them very confusing, with permitted
use of swimmings pools which have to be dumped out, and the marines are along the
creeks. The pools contain chemicals and where will they be dumped but in the creeks.
She does not feel this should be a permitted use. In the Marine Business District
a permitted use is one-family detached dwelling. No such use in Recreation District.
WILLIAM PETERS, Trustee, Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Society: Read a
resolution adopted by the historical society requesting that Fort Corchauge be
designated on the proposed Master Plan as a historical landmark. The resolution
has been endorsed by the Southold Town Landmark Preservation Commission.
HERBERT MANDEI_: Orderly development should be set forth in cearly established
codes and regulations, rather than vague and flexible rules which are then open to
discretionary interpretation. The plan is repleat with the requirement for Planning
Board prior approvals of virtually everything, even down to minor details on lands,
houses, signs, livestock, stores, etc. Standards should replace as much as possible
the need for prior approvals for the sake of uniformity and reducing costly unnecessary
delays. Urged the Town Board to review Raymond & May's Development Pna of 1969/1970.
JOHN WICKHAM, Cutchogue: Expressed concern about the two acre zoning classification
along Long Island Sound and Peconi¢ Bay. Suggested one acre to one and a half
acre 800 ft. back from those areas, to provide a higher sale value for those properties,
which would increase the assessment for the Town.

Meeting 2/6/86
DEBBIE SHARP: Concerned about the proposed down-zoning of her property on
the corner of Jockey Creek Drive and Main Road, Southold. R-40 is proposed and
she feels it should be business.
LINDA FLETCHER, League of Women Voters: Read prel~ared statement. Applauds
the Town Board for completing the Master Plan update, but expressed concern for
marina zoning, which should be encouraged where they do not negatively impact on
residential neighborhoods or natural environments. They feel the proposed new
amendments 11 and 12 will have negative impact on both residents and fragile creek
and coastal waters. Requests those amendments be deleted and new ones developed
more in keeping with sensitive waterfront areas, suggesting the Conservation Advisory
Council be consulted with respect to same. Requests proposed Article 22 which addressed
the protection of our natural features, which was deleted, be returned to the code.
Offered the League's services in holding informational meetings for the public on the
proposed zoning amendments,
HEATHER CUSACK, Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council: Expressed concern
about amendments 11 and 12 and offered to work on rewriting Article XXlI. Suggested
certain covenants in certain parts of the zoning laws, i.e. buffer zones and different
restrictions on the marine environment.
JERRY BUSCHET, New Suffolk: Brought to the Board's attention property in New
Suffolk that is zoned residental and is proposed to be Hamlet Business. The parcel
is between First and Second Street where there are presently six homes existing,
and hotel/motels are possible there.
PAT COMBS, Peconic: Requested bed and breakfast homes in the residential areas.
RAYMOND NINE, Mattituck: His property on Route 48, Mattituck is being rezoned
to RO. He requests the Board leave it B-1 or Light Industrial.
ELLEN HUFE, Southold: Requested the Board to reconsider the LB District where
her business, Future Machine Products, is located at Route 48 and Kennys Road,
and zone it Business.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY explained the non-conforming use with respect to changing a
zoning classification.
WILLIAM MIDGLEY: As long as a business is in existence now it is fine. What
happens to a non-conforming business when it is sold or turned over to a family member.
BILL PENNY: He owns Tidy Car, Route 48 and Youngs Avenue, Southold. The
proposed zoning for his property is LB and it will then be non-conforming. What
will happen to him if he should want to sell? (Board members explained that the
use stays the same if it is sold for the same type of business. But the building
could not be sold for a different use.)
JACK MULKAHEY, Cutchogue: Resides on Highland Road across from proposed
Seacroft project. What is the current status of Seacroft. (Supervisor Murphy suggested
he ask the owners of Seacroft, who are in the room. The property has a zoning
classification which was granted several years ago. The Board cannot comment further
as this property is in litigation at the present time.)
ED SIEGMANN: If the Board designates property for an airport, when someone
decides to build the airport is there going to be input from the public before it
is granted7 (David Emilita explained that an airport is permitted in the zoning
ordinance on sites of 100 acres or more. There is no such designation on the map.
Pa~e 4 - Cutchogue
Meeting 2/6/86
Any proposal for an airport would be subject to an environmental impact statement,
which would be subject to a public hearing, so they would have input.)
SUPERVISOR MIJRPHY stated that with respect to the Airport Study probably by the
end of the month of February there will be a final input meeting to the committee
given by the consultant and the consultant and the committee will give their input
to the Town Board. This meeting will be open to the public.
MARY MU/KAH£Y: Asked the names of the owners of Seacroft. (Supervisor Murphy
stated the owners are Mr. Joe Nolan and Mr. Richard Cron.) Why won't the Town
answer questions with respect to this property? (Supervisor Murphy stated the
question is in litigation and the Board cannot comment.)
RAY BLUM, Cutchogue: His property on the south side of the Main Road, opposite
Key Food, is being proposed for RO. He feels this property should be zoned Business.
Directly next to his property is an industrial zone. The RO classification is ridiculous.
Referred to other areas along the main roads zoned RO or LB. The Board should once
more look at the plan. They should go out on the streets and take a look and see what
is operating in a lot of the places where they decided to change the zoning.
JIM SLAT£R: Suggested the proposed airport meeting should be held at one of the
high schools rather than the Town Hall where there is limitedi~pace available.
JAMES FOGARTY~ Route 25, Cutchogue: The location of his property is near that
of Ray Blum and is probably the busiest business area in Cutchogue and a new
residence hasn't been built in that area in over twenty-five years. The area should
definitely be zoned Business.
PAT GEMMA, Main Road, Cutchogue: On the map, in an area where there are houses
on quarter acre lots, one acre minimum lot size is indicated. What is the rationale for
this? The proposals is also R40 on the Main Road where there isn't one piece of property
that is a legal lot that has 40,000 square feet. Where is the multiple dwelling zone?
Except for Seacroft and Founders Village, which are already pre-existing, there is no
leaway for apartments. The Board should look at the map, re-examine it and perhaps
change it.
DAVID SPOHN, Orient: The airport meeting will only address Phases I and II, which
are the inventory and the site selection. There will be many areas that there will not
be answers for until the study is complete. He just wanted to make sure everyone
understood the purpose of the meeting.
MARGARET SKABRY, Henry's Lane, Peconic: Two years ago the proposed map showed
an airport and Soundview Avenue Extension. The airport and the extension have now
been eliminated from the map, but neither are necessarily gone. She expressed her
disapproval of the proposed Soundview Avenue Extension. Mrs. Skabry then spoke
about the proposed airport meeting relative to Phases I and II, and urged everyone
to carefully read the legal notices and articles in the newspapers with respect to the
date of the hearing. She further addressed her opposition to Soundview Avenue
Extension and the motels shei feels will come with it and possibly marinas. Urged
everyone to study the map and speak to the Board members if they have questions
or complaints regarding it.
Pa, ge 5 - Cutchogue
Meeting 2/6/86
COUNCILMAN GEORGE PENNY: Outlined the uses permitted by special exception
of the Board of Appeals in the LB District.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Explained that the Norris property is presently
zoned "M". They go to the Planning Board with their plan under the "M" zone.
The Planning Board must follow a procedure set up for the "M" zone. The proposed
updated map is R80 for that property. As it stands right now the zone is "M" and
the Planning Board came to the Town Board for guidance and they told the Planning
Board they must proceed pursuant to the law, and the law is "M".
ED SIEGMANN: Feels the Mattituck Hamlet meeting was sprung on them too fast
and he joins the League of Women Voters in requesting the Town Board to reschedule
a meeting in Mattituck so the people can come out and be heard. With respect to the
Norris property he feels the developers can be fought on the "M" zone because
contrary to the lawsuit in th~ 1970's when the Town wanted it to be"M" and the
residents in the area opposed it, today the Town and the people would be arguing
for the property to be two acre zoning and the courts would be willing to listen to
the argument that there is a severe water problem in that area and 95 condominiums
would result in a tremendous number of salted wells.
JANE MINERVA, Cutchogue Library: Thanked the Board for making the proposed
updated master plan studies available in the library for anyone would like to come
in and they've had a lot of interested people and hav~ made copies of anything
they asked for at the expense of the library.
Supervisor Murphy thanked everyone for coming out and emphasized that the purpose
of the hamlet meetings is to receive input from the people to the Town Board. They
are interested in how they feel. The Master Plan is not for the personal satisfaction
or gain of one or two people, it's for the entire residents of Southold Town. They
have tried to come up with a plan that is fair for everyone in the Town and provide
for future growth.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
$outhold Town Clerk
I am Linda Fletcher of New Suffolk, speaking for the League of
Women Voters. At the meetings in Mattituck and Orient last week, the
League applauded the Town Board for completing the Southold Town Master
Plan up,ate. And we asked that the Plan be used as a guide by our Town
officials so that they keep uppermost in mind our unique, fragile natural
features when considering development in the hamlets of Southold Town.
The Master Plan is a guide for zoning but it appears that Town official~
have not always followed the 9uide in their proposed changes for the
zoning Code. We refer to a statement in the Master Plan that says "marinas
8hould be encouraged where they do not negatively impact on residential
neighborhoo~s or natural environments. -
The League believes that the uses permitted in the proposed new amendments
11 and 12, including special exceptions and accessory uses, will have
negative impact on both residents and our fragile creek and coastal waters.
The League requests that proposed amendments 11 and 12 be deleted and new
amendments be developed as rapidly as possible that are more in keeping
with sensitive waterfront areas. We suggest that you draw on the expertise
of the Southold Town~Advisory Council and others to formulate these new
amendments that will permit uses of the waterfront to meet citizen needs
without threatening our fresh water supply and our creek and coastal waters.
To s~tbstantiate our request, we submit the following~
1) A quote from a speech by a Southold Town Official given at a League
forum in January, 1983= "The National Water Resources Council states that
our region is one of the eleven most critical water problem areas in the
nation. · . .Salt water encroachment diminishes our groundwater supply . .
Zoning controls and land use ordinances need revision to permit protection
of sensitive areas."

HM-Hamlet Meeting Speech 2/6/86
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
MY HAME IS HERBERT MANDEL.
THIS IS THE THIRD HAMLET MEETING ON THE MASTER PLAN I
HAVE ATTE~ AND ALMOST WEEKLY I HAVE BEEN SITTING
DOWN WITH ONE OR THE OTHER TOWN BOARD, AS CHAIRMAN OF THE
SOUTHOLD HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE. I WISH TO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE MY CONCERNS RELATIVE TO THE
PROPOSED MASTER PLAN --
ONE CONCERN WAS EMPHASISED SUCCINCTLY IN A RECENT
ADVERTISEMENT THE SUFFOLK TIMES: "WE THINK THE ORDERLY
DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOWN OUGHT TO BE DIRECTED BY CLEARLY
ESTABLISHED CODES AND REGULATIONS, DULY ENACTED BY
ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
CONTROL OVER LAND BY DISCRETIONARY POWERS HAS SERIOUS
LIABILITIES, THE ELIMINATION OF WHICH IS ONE OF THE
CHIEF REASONS OF A MASTER PLAN."
I BELIEVE THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT
OUGHT TO BE SET FORTH IN CLEARLY ESTABLISHED CODES AND
REGULATIONS, RATHER THAN VAGUE AND FLEXIBLE RULES WHICH
ARE THEN OPEN TO DISCRETIONARY INTERPRETATION. IF THE
THE CODE IS CLEAR -- WHETHER STRICT OR LIBERAL -- THOSE
WHO MUST ABIDE BY IT KNOW IMEDIATELY WHERE THEY STAND.
2
THE CURRENT MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL IS REPLEAT WITH THE
REQUIREMENT FOR PLANNING BOARD PRIOR APPROVALS OF
VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING, EVEN DOWN TO MINOR DETAILS -- ON
LANDS, HOUSES, SIGNS, LIVESTOCK, STORES, AND ON AND ON.
COULDN'T STANDARDS BE ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO AVIOD THE
NEED FOR SOME OF THESE APPROVALS? THE PLANNING BOARD IN
THEIR NON-ELECTED CAPACITY HAS TAKEN FOR ITSELF
SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED POWERS OVER OUR DAILY LIVES,
URSURPING THE BOARD OF APPEALS.
THE PLANNING BOARD HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY GIVEN CREDIT
FOR HAVING THE SOLE INPUT TO THE PLAN SINCE APRIL 1985
WHEN RPPW (THE PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS) COMPLETED THEIR
SUMMARY REPORT AND PROPOSED ZONING REGULATIONS. THE FACT
IS -- UNKNOWN TO THE PUBLIC -- THAT THE TOWN BOARD HAS
HAD SOLE INPUT ON THE PORPOSED PLAN FOR THE PAST EIGHT
MONTHS. THE ZONING MAP IS FILLED WITH ERRORS,
OMMISSIONS, AND INCONSTENCIES, AND SHOULD ~VE BEEN
UPDATED AND CORRECTED BEFORE PRESENTATION TO THE PURLIC -
- CERTAINLY BEFORE APPROVAL.
STANDARDS SHOULD REPLACE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE NEED
FOR "PRIOR APPROVALS" FOR THE SAKE~UNIFORMITY AND
REDUCING COSTLY UNNECESSARY DELAYS.
3
I WOULD STRONGLY URGE YOU TO REVIEW RAYMOND & MAY'S
DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF 1969/1970 FOR THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD.
RAYMOND & HAY HAVE BEEN RETAINED THROUGH THE YEARS AND
ARE NOW REPUTABLY STILL THE TOWN'S CONSULTANTS, ALTHOUGH
THEY HAVE HAD NO INPUT INTO THE PROPOSED HASTER PLAN
SINCE APRIL 1985, AND DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE PLAN AS EVOLVED BY OUR TOWN BOARD. DESPITE THE
YEARS THAT HAVE PASSED SINCE THE FORMULATION OF THIS
PLAN, IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT OUR FAILURE TO
CLOSELY ADHERE TO THE EXPERT'S RECOM~ENDATIONS CO~NTAINED
THEREIN HAVE INVARIABLY BEEN REGRETTED, WHILE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE PLAN'S RECOMMENDATIONS HAS INVARIABLY PROVEN TO
BE IN LINE ITH THE TOWN'S GOALS.
FOR EXAMPLE, EXISTING MAJOR ROADS CLASSIFIED IN PART I
OF THIS PLAN WERE COUNTY ROUTE 27 AND STATE ROUTE 25.
"THE ROADS ARE ADEQUATE FOR EXISTING DEVELOPEMENT AND WILL,
IN GENERAL, EFFICIENTLY SERVE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IF THE
TOWN PLANNING BOARD EFFECTIVELY LIMITS STRIP COMMERCIAL
DEVBELOPMENT. IT HAS, THEREFORE, BEEN RECOMMENDED IN THE
SECTION ON COMMERCIAL LAND USE THAT COMMERCIAL STRIP OR
R~BON DEVELOPMENT ALONG STATE ROUTE 25 BE DISCOURAGED AND
ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED ALONG COUNTY ROUTE 27" [RT. 48]
NOW WE HAVE THE BEGINNINGS OF A JERICHO TRUNPIKE RIGHT
BEHIND US. WHILE THIS PLAN WAS IN THE MAKING, SOUTHOLD
HAMLET GOT ITS FIRST AUTO BODY SHOP OUT ON THE LAND THAT
HAD BEEN FARM.
4
ADDITIONALLY, THE ORIGINA PLAN TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE
NEED~OF ZONING FOR APARTMENTS AS WELL AS ADDRESSING AT
THAT EARLY DATE MANY OF OUR INCREASING NEEDS, WHICH, IF
THEY HAD BEEN ACTED UPON AFFIRMATIVELY, WOULD HAVE BEEN
MOST BENEFICIAL TO OUR CO~g3NITY.
THERE IS A~ STRONG TENDENCY ON THE PART OF MOST OF US
TO WEARY OF THE REPETITIVENESS NECESARY IN THE APPROVAL
PROCESSES RECOM~LENDED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH AN ALL-
IMPORTANT DOCUMENT AS A MASTER PLAN. BY ITS VERY NATURE
IT MUST CONSOLIDATE INTO ONE COHESIVE SUMMARY THE WANTS
AND NEEDS OF OUR ENTIRE POPULATION. IT MUST BE FORWARD-
LOOKING; IT MUST BE ACCURATE; AND WHILE IT CANNOT
ACCOMODATE SPECIFICALLY THE WANTS AND NEEDS OF EVERY
INDIVIDUAL, IT SHOULD PROFESSIONALLy AND IN A TOTALLY
UNBIASED WAY BECOME OUR PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE AND GUIDE THE
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHOLD. I PLEAD WITH YOU ON
BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNITY'S WELFARE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO
REVIEW WITH THE AID OF PROFE~IONAL UNBIASED INPUT THIS
PROPOSAL -- NOT UNTIL YOU WEARY OF IT, NOT UNTIL YOU ARE
"SICK OF IT," BUT RATHER UNTIL YOU ARE CERTAIN IT IS THE
BEST THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE.
Februar~ 6, 1986
Request to the Town Board.
We would like to Join the request of the League
of Woman Voters to reschedule well advertised Master
Plan meetings in the Town of Mattituck where people
can ask questions and make comments. The last meeting
was poorly attended because many residents were not
aware of the meeting. It will be of substantial bene-
fit to both the townboard and th~ residents if the
plan is understood before it is voted on.

Purpose of each District
Agricultural-Conservation A-C District
Low Density Residential R-80~ ~-120~ R-200~ R-400 District~
Section 100-30. Purpose.
The purpose of the Agricultural-Conservation (A-C) District and the
Low Density Residential R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts is to
reasonably control, and to the extent possible prevent, the unnecessary
loss of those currently open lands within the Town containing large
and contiguous areas of p~ime agricultural soils which are the basis
for a significant portion/of the Town's economy and those areas with
sensitive environmental features including aquifer recharge areas
and bluffs. In addition these areas provide the open rural environ-
ment so highly valued by year-round residents and those persons
who support the Town of Southold's recreation, resort and second
home economy. The economic , social and aesthetic benefits which
can be obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of such areas
are well documented, and have inspired a host of governmental programs
designed, with varying degrees of success, to achieve this result.
For its part, the Town is expending large sums of money to protect
existing farm acreage. At the same time, the Town has an obligation
to exercise its authority to reasonably regulate the subdivision
and development of this land to further the same purposes, while
honoring the legitimate interests of farmers and other farmland
owners.
Low Density Residential R-40 District
Section 100-30A. Purpose.
The purpose of the Low Density Residential R-40 District is to
provide areas for residential development where existing neighbor-
hood characteristics, water supply and environmental conditions
permit full development densities of approximately one dwelling
per acre and where open space and agricultural preservation are
not predominate objectives.
Hamlet Density Residential (HD) District
Section 100-40. Purpose
The purpose of the Hamlet Density (HD) Residential District is
to (1) permit a mix of housing types and level of residential
density appropriate to the areas in and around the major hamlet
centers, particularly Mattituck, Cutchogue, Southold, Orient and
the Village of Greenport and (2) to promote the provision of lower
cost housing in these hamlet and village areas, where provision
of utilities exists or may be possible and desirable and where
public facilities and commercial activities are available.
-4-
Resort Residential (RR) District
Section 100-50. Purpose.
The purpose of the Resort Residential (RR) District is to provide
opportunity for waterfront resort development in what are essential
low density residential areas at a density and character consistent
with surrounding uses.
Residential Office (RO) District
Section 100-70. Purpose.
To provide a transition area between business areas and low density
residential development along major roads which will provide oppor-
tunity for limited nonresidential uses in essentially residential
areas.
Limited Business (LB) District
Section 100-80. Purpose.
The purpose of the Limited Business District (LB) is to provide
an opportunity to accomodate limited business activity along high-
way corridors, but in areas outside the hamlet central business
areas that is consistent with the rural and historic character
of surrounding areas and uses. Emphasis will be placed on review
of design features so that existing and future uses will not detract
from surrounding uses. The additional uses must generate low
amounts of traffic and be designed to protect the residential
and rural character of the area.
Hamlet Business (HB) District
Section 100-90. Purpose.
The purpose of the Hamlet Business (HB) District is to provide
for business development in the hamlet central business area,
including retail, office and service uses, public and semi-public
uses, as well as hotel and motel and multi-family residential
development that will support and enhance the retail development
and provide a focus for the hamlet area.
General Business (B-I) District
Section 100-100. Purpose.
The purpose of the General Business/Highway Business (B-i) District
is to provide for retail and wholesale commercial development
and limited office and industrial development outside of the hamlet
central business areas, generally along major highways. It is
designated to accomodate uses that benefit from large parcels
o~ land, and that may involve characteristics such as heavy trucking
and noise.
-5-
Marine Recreation (M-Rec) District
Section 100-110. Purpose.
To permit and encourage water-related recreational uses on waterfront
properties that are located on inland waterways or creeks.
Marine Business (MB) District
Section 100-120. Purpose.
To provide a waterfront location for a range of water dependent
and water related uses which are those uses which require or benefit
from direct access to~ or location in marine or tidal waters.
Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park (LIO) Distric~
Section 100-130. Purpose.
The purpose of the Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park (LIO)
District is to provide opportunity for the location of business
and professional offices, research facilities, industrial uses
and similar activities in an open, campus-like setting in areas
which are not appropriate for commercial activity or low density
residential development. In this area such uses can be established
in an attractive environment and serve both as a means of preserving
the open qualities of an area and providing an area, adjacent
to hamlet areas where such uses can be appropriately developed
with suitable protection for ground and water surface waters.
All uses must conform to Suffolk County Health Department standards.
Light Industrial (LI) Distr~ct
Section 100-140. Purpose.
The purpose of the Light Office (LI) District is to provide an
opportunity for business and industrial uses on smaller lots than
would be appropriate for the LIO Light Industrial Park/Planned
Office Park District.
