We received a recommendation from the County Planning Commission in the matter of Abatelli, change of zone, Main Road, East Cutchogue. This was left to local determination. Copies have been placed in the file and also forwarded to the ToWn Board for the purpose of setting a date for a public hearing.

Mr. Henry Raynor was appointed a committee of one to contact the Telephone Co. and Long ~sland Lighting Co. to have a representative at one of our executive sessions to discuss this and to show their models and methods of installation of these systems. Several dates were suggested but it was left open so that Mr. Raynor can make arrangements with both the Telephone Co. and Long Island Lighting Co. to have their representatives here at their convenience.

Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Messrs: Wickham, Moisa, Raynor, Grebe, Coyle. The next executive session meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board was set for May 22, 1972. House Rules for Minor Subdivision In cases where an application is made for a five lot subdivision there are several matters that need consideration. 1. Access Roads should meet Town specifications, when mo~e than 300 feet long. 2. Minor subdivisions only one lot deep from the street should be studied carefully with the thought that this might be an evasion and would compromise future development of the interior premises. 3. Minor subdivisions of over 6 acres should be studied carefully to see if its an effort to evade the major subdivision regulations. 4. Minor subdivisions of one lot wide and five lots deep should be studied to make sure it's not an evasion of a major subdivision law and blocks off future development of adjacent premises. We feel the. above are written to maintain orderly and efficient development and (par. 1, ArtiQ1e 1 of Subdivision Regulations~ not adversely affecting remainder of parcel and/or adjoining properties (page 2. definition in Subdivision Regulations). In.minor subdivisions having more than two tier of lots access to back lot shall only be by a highway meeting Town highway~specifications. Southold Town Planning Board -5- April 18, 1972 In a minor subdivision on a Town Highway, curbs and gutters and drainage will be required as specified by Town highway specifications. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 P.M. John Wickham, Chairman Respectfully submitted, Marjor~e McDermott, Secretary Southold Town Planning Board
