Greenport Heights Development Corp. (74365 Main Road, Greenport) The applicants resubmitted their previous drawings with no changes but only described material and finish choices. A discussion ensued with regard to the applicant's reason for not considering the design alternates suggested by the committee at the December 2nd meeting. The applicant indicated he liked the design of the building as it was and would not be willing to entertain any design alternates. The Committee indicated that although we would have preferred the building's front facade to face South, (NYS Rt. 25) we could understand his reason for having it face West. The committee reiterated it's concerns that both the South and East facing facades were not sympathetic to their Main Road exposure, especially given the fact the building site is located on the primary corridor to and from Greenport Village. We once again suggested that some creative architectural modifications to the South and East elevations could be accomplished with little or no additional construction cost and much aesthetic benefit to not only the Town and Village but also the project site. To the committee's disappointment, the applicant refused to give these suggestions any consideratio~l. Moved by Robert Brown and seconded by Garrett Strang, it was RESOLVED to deny the application and stand by the committee's original resolution of December 2, 2003, copy attached.
