the municipality one-sixth. This program can only be used
in municipalities with less than 50,000 population. There
are no Federal strings attached; they~do not tell you what to
do orhow, however, you must actually accomplish the program.
Riverhead is presently starting a 701 Program and Shelter ~sland
and East'Hampton are considering it.
Mr. Koppelman suggested that consultants with experience in
working in communities with basically an agricultural economic
base be considered. Several consultants should be interviewed and
the Planning boards should go to the towns where these consultants
have done work and speak with the planning boards there and find
out how their plan is working.
There are sixsegments of this program. 1. Existing circulation~
2. Existing land use; 3. Existing Community facilities; 4. Future
circulations the road piCture; 5. Future land use~ how the Town
should be developed; and 6. Future community facilities~ such as
hospitats~ parks, municipal .facilities,. fire fac'~/~ities~ town hall~
etc. The extension of the Expressway and the future Long. Island-
Rhode Island bridge should be kept in,ind.
Mr. Koppelman stated that some studies already prepared by
the County can be used in this plan to the cost down and to
make itpossible to put more time and ,~into phases of-the
pr0~ram that are important to the town. It will take almost three
to six months for'the application stage a~d about 18 to 24 months
