Southold Town Planning Board
-6-
October 1, 1963
RESOLVED that the Planning Board favorably recommend to
the Town Board that the property of Race Point-Corporation,
Fishers Island, New York, situated in the former Fort~Wright
area, as described heretofore, be changed from"A" Residential
and Agricultural District to "B" Business District.
The members of the Planning Board have inspected this
property. It is practically all occupied by war~hQuses, shops
and barracks and business type installations, some presently
in use by the Coast Guard and U. $. Navy. The property contains
practically no sites suitable for residential buildings and we
feel that if it were rezoned "B" Business some use would be made
of many of the existing buildings.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr.~ Wickham, Mr. Moisa, Mr.
Grebe, Mr. Young, and~Lr, unkelbach.
The Chairman reported that he met with Mr. Whitlock of
Malcolm Pirinie and they agreed to have an estimate ready by
the 14th of October. They also agreed upon a program for the
study of water resource and it had four points. 1. To study
the data in bulletin GW-45; 2. to make laboratory analysis of
the percentage of precipitation which is added to the ground water;
3. To project the possible use of the ground water reserve in
terms of residential and agricultura~ municipalities and industry;
and 4. To arrive at a factor of safety to protect the Town against
salt invasion.
The Chairman also reported that he had met with six
professors from Cornell University on the 20th of september
and was very much encouraged, not ~only by ~nat they said
but also because after he talked with the Director of'iRes~arch
for Cornell he assured Mr.. Wickham that' theywere very much
interested in certain phases of wor~ in regard to the Master
Plan. Three departments are interested; the Director of Research
feels thatthis is a research problem of agriculture that r~ally
needs study.
On October 14th three or four p~ople from Cornell are
planning to meet with the Plan~ing Board.
There was a discussion relative to combining the 701 Plan
with the work of-Ravmond & May and Cornell.
