told them the Planning Board had spoken .to the Town
Board and the Highway Committee in regard to this
property. It was the opinion of the Town Board that
~ r6ad ~hould'be along the~bluff. Mr. D0novan asked
where they wanted the road and Mr~ Raynor said-without
a~t®pDg~aphical map and without an e~gineer's report
andi~nion on erosion it is difficult to place the road.
Mr. Haberman said the contours within 300 feet of the
bluff did not lend themselves to a road. Mr. Terry
said the Town Highway Committee and the Superintendent
of Highways do not like the cul de sacs. The Planning
Board will require the green belting tied up with
covenants; it would be an agreement between the Town
and the developers that they would put in the easements.
The'Tow~ Board also would want this p~imary road 60 feet
wide; 36 feet would be paved and 24 feet right of way.
Mr. Haberman presented a new proposed plot plan.
He said Van Tuyl put in a rough line of the bluff from
a geodetic survey. This new plan also shows the cuts

for the future road. Mr. Raynor said the Town Board
did not give a definite commitment on the.~roads.
Mr. Donovan said. the cul de sacs will cut down
traffic flow. They are not going to disturb the
bluff and will restrict it so no one can distnnb
it. They. also propose to establish a rear yard
setback so the view can't be blocked. Mr~ Coyle
suggested they submit a map showing the roads to
the east ~of Rocky Point Road. Mr~ Raynor asked if
they propose initiating the green belting in planting.
Mr. Donovan said they intend to replant the trees and
vegetation removed from the wooded areas. The walk~ays
are to be kept natural.
Mr. Moisa said the Planning Board will discuss
this again with the Town Board on November 20th.
Mr. Haberman said they would submit more information
for that meeting.
