MINUTES, Continued
It was decided that in a case where a he,ring would continue until
a n unreasonably late hour.the board may elect to continue such hearing
at another specified time. No adjournment of the hearing would be
necessary unless an attorney for the applicant should ask for an adjeurn-
ment and he would then, in all probability, ask for a meeting ~th the
board a t a later specified date.
~. Terry then advised that affidavits from both newspapers would
have to be obtained and read at the hearing. Petition by the applicant
would have to be read plus the letter to Mr. Riley, dated May 31st.
The board discussed the matter of removal of buildings and cozmuercial
signs on property which is or has been confiscated. It was agreed that a
building permit ~vould have to be obtained for the rebuilding of a struc-
ture which had been removed. In the case of signs a permit would not
be necessary as long as the owner complied with the necessary setbacks.
FRANK CLAUDI0 - Mr. Gillispie mentioned that he had received a call from
~r. Claudio pertaining to a sign approximately 30' x 12' which had been
removed from leased property in Mattituck due to the sale of this
property as the result of condemnation proceedings. Sign has not been
replaced and he would like to erect it on a suitable site. It was the
feeling of the board that owners of signs which ha6 been removed subject
to condemnation proceedings should be permitted to reerect them.
