Will You Help Save Cutchogue?

*•* The Problem; Impacts; The Solution; Our Part

Suffolk County Water Authority has been expanding rapidly on the North Fork peninsula. Initial agreements to limit availablity of public water to existing development with water quality problems have been surreptitiously replaced by acceptance of using public water imported from Riverhead to supply new developments. Please visit thenewSave Cutchogue Blog savecutchogue.blogspot.com for more on this issue and other issues! 

Condominiumization violates the character of Cutchogue Hamlet . Please join Group for Cutchogue to demand Southold Town Board stop the Planning Board from continuing to process the current application until site plan development standards and other relevant laws are enacted. If the Town Board continues to wait to see what happens, we know what will happen. Once an approval is granted it will be impossible to stop construction. Downtown Cutchogue will suffer negative impacts. And, it will be even harder to fight overdevelopment proposals that will follow.

Save Cutchogue Petition to Southold Town

Southold Town Residents call upon Southold Town government to take prompt and persistent action to halt development of the 139 luxury condominiums proposed as “Heritage at Cutchogue”.

The proposal is based on a fraudulent spot zoning in violation of the essential purpose of zoning. Zoning is about compatibility. A zone for high density luxury residential right next to an agricultural zone is wrong. The resulting proposal is out of synch and out of scale with Cutchogue Hamlet and Southold Town.

We ask the Town Board to immediately enact a moratorium to prevent construction beginning before the zoning of this property, and of other similarly zoned properties in Southold which are also facing imminent development, can be reconsidered and a rezoning can be enacted by the Town Board before it is to late.

*.* Act Now

Southold Town is considering revising land use regulations!

According to a memorandum dated November 18, 2007 by Heather Lanza, Town Planning Director to Scott Russell, Supervisor and the Members of the Town Board, Southold Town Code lacks residential site design standards and Southold Town lacks an updated and effective comprehensive plan. The suggested moratorium on residential site plans should be enacted as soon as possible. If we act now we can rezone, if we do not it may be too late!

Memo to: Scott Russell, Supervisor and Members of the Town Board
From: Heather Lanza, Town Planning Director

Southold Town planning department is short staffed, a moratorium for time to plan would also provide time to hire and train new staff.
