amendments to the BUildingZons Ordinance relative to signs. He

up a doubtful part of the Ordinance. They recognize the need for
control but free-enterprise should be allowed.

Mr. Young was asked why the association waited until the
last minute to take action when the Ordinance at its enactment
provided five years, and ~e stated he did not know it would
have the affect on him that it does. He objects to the fact
he cannot have dealer identification on his directional sign.
It was explained to Fir. Young that even with the amendments he
would not be allowed that. Mr. Young stated they feel there
should be a moritorium to extend not later than January 31, 1963
and in that way this problem can be worked on further. Others
present did not agree with that suggestion.
There was general discussion held relative to the modes of
advertising. Mr. You~g presented a form to the Board which he
wishes to use for taking a poll of the businessmen in Southold
Town relative to their wants, needs and opinions on signs.
Various suggestions to the sign problem were made by the
individuals present.at this meeting. The majority were in favor
of amending.'~ Article III, Section 300, Subsectio~ 11 and Article
IV, Section 408, but the exact wording of the amendment could not
be de~ided upon. Everyone agreed that the present proposal ofthe
Town Board is not satisfactory. At the conclusion of the discussion
a letter was composed to the Town Board stating that the~Planning
Board has met with members of the Board of Appeals and members of
the Businessmen~s Association and feel that we are arriving at some
solution to the basic problem. It is prob~bte that advertising
signs should be allowed in the agricultural-residential zone as
well as thebusiness zone at specific distances from dwellings and
under other controls, including a size limit, under the billboard
size. The Planning Board requested additional time to study
this and asked the Businessmen~s Association to carry out~a survey
of their members and feel that sometime in the near~ future there
will be adefinite recommendation forthcoming.
