(See page 7 for'resolution pertaining to Green Acres.) Lefferts Edson, Esq. appeared before the Planning Board to discuss final approval 'of"Oakridge Hills at~Southol~$ owned and developed by Southold Builders, Inc~, 23Wayne Drive, Plainview, New York. This proposed subdivision is located on the west side Southold Town Planning Board -3- March 7, 1962 of Horton Lane, Southold and contains 10 lots, each containing over 20,000 sq. ft. Tentative approval was granted on May 10, 1961. After discussion layout of the roads in connection with future development of the area, Mr.~Edson was advised that a date for public hearing would be se~~ for the next regular meeting of the Planning Board which will be sometime in April. Mr. Edson next spoke informallyto the Board relative to an application to be made to the Town Board by Fay 8pera, 196-28 Northern Boulevard, Flushing 58, New York, for a change of zone from "A" Residential~and Agricultural District to "B" Business Distr~ct on lots 187, 188, and 189, "Map of!Pecon~c Bay Estates, Amended Map A", total size 150 ft. on Main Road and 125 ft. on Pipes Neck Road, Arshamomaque. Mrs. Spera desires to conducta reta±t business on the premises which will consist of the sale of marine artifacts and related items. Th~ Planning Board advised Mr. Edson that it is unlikely that a chan~ge' of zone would be granted on such a sm~ll area. However the Board discussed the development of this particular area with relation to an extension of the "B" Business zone from the golf drivin9 range to Kerwin Boulevard. On motion of Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Young, it was RESOLVED that the Planning Board recommend to the Town Board, on the Town Board's own motion, changing from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "B" Business District~all property'situated between Kerwin Boulevard and the Golf-Driving Range on the south side'of Route 25, ~rshomamoque. Between Kerwin Boulevard and Pipes NeckRoad it is suggested that the depth of this ,,B- Business'Districtlbe to the railroad property, and between Pipes Neck Road and the Golf Driving'Range the depth be the same as the GolfDriving.Range Business District. The entire north side of Route 25 in this area is zoned "B" Business and the~Planning Board feels it is good planning to zone the property on'the south' side of the road "B" to ~conform..Also, t_here are several non-conform~ing businesses'now in existence on the south side Of the road and it is believed there will be applications made in the near future for-rezoning to "B" Business by some of the property owners. Southold Town Planning Board -4- March 7, 1962 Vote of the Board: Ayes: Mr. Wickham, Mr. Moisa, Mr. Youo~. The'Planning Board discussed a possible amendment to the Rules and Re§ulations for the Subdivision or'Land whereby they would require a copy of the highway layout and profile maps to be filed with the subdivision map when highways in a subdivision are to be dedicated to the Town of 3South0'ld~' The Board also dis- cussed an amendment whereby it would be mandatoryfor a developer of ~subdivisi0n with waterfront property, to provide a 100 ft. by 100 ft. area fronting on the water. The Planning Board also discussed dead-end roads in sub- divisions and a Ietter was forwarded to Supervisor Albertson stating that the Planning Board feels there should be some clarif- ication on the subject. The highway specificatiOns call for 100 ft. turn-around for alt dead-end streets, however the Planning Board has occasionally approved highwaylayouts in subdivisions with what might~be called a spur, namelyla 5 0 ft. highway one lot in depth which we have requested the developer to make available at a specific location to connect.up with the highway system of another development which-we felt certain would be commenced in the near future. The~real problem arises only if~the Planning Board approves a subdivision with such spur roads and the Town Board refuses to accept dedication without the 100 ft. turn- around. This means that the developer'only dedicates the primary road system and leaves the very shortspur to be dedicated when and if the adjacent property is develg~ed~ It would seem more business- like to the Planning Board for the TOWn to accept dedication of these spurs even though the road is not cut. through so that when the adjacent property is developed it will be unnecessary to reopen the whole problem and have a separate dedication for each one o~ these spurs. On motion of'Mr. Young, seconded byMr. Moisa, it was RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of February 6, 1962 be approved as read.' vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Wickham, Mr~ Moisa, Mr. Young.
