The Chairman suggested that Mr.- Aurichio have Mr. Van Tuyl make a new map.

Mr. Aurichio stated they wanted the turn-around to discourage through traffic.

TheChairman advised that corner lots are considered to be 25% more Valuable, however Mr. Grimes did not feel this held true in Birch Hills at~Cutchogue. Mr. Grimes stated that the map of Birch Hills at Cutchogue showed a park and playground area as their lots did not go down to the highwaSer mark. He was concerned with the 15 foot right of way shown on the map of Vista Bluff. He felt this might appear to some people as a sidewalk to the park and playground area in Birch Hills. The Chairman felt there should not be too much difficulty. Soutkid Town PlanningBoard -3- December ~9, 1967 Mr. Leander Glover was also present and the Chairman asked him how near the plan the roads were done in Birch Hills at Cutchogue. He stated the road is about 8 feet from the boundary line.

Mr. Grimes stated theymay want to keep the roads in Birch Hills at Cutchogue private for awhile. The Chairman advised this is okay. All Mr. Grimes needs to do is put a wall across at the end of the road and there should be no problem. The ChaPman advised Mr. Olsen and Mr. Gendron that he wanted to know what the problems would be in moving the 15 foot right of way to the other side. Mr. Van Tuyl stated it would mean a new deed and the title company may take new action. Itwas also pointed Qut thatMr. Vincent already has his foundation for his house in.

When you met with the Board you informed us that this property was going to be sold to another owner. In fact, we advised you to do just that. In view of the fact that the present_map is not in accord with what we have understood, we would like a catrification before proceeding any further.
