Bridgehampton Traffic on Agenda

The Southampton Town Board is meeting this morning at the Bridgehampton Community House, instead of at Town Hall, at 10. Its agenda includes discussion of pedestrian and traffic safety in downtown Bridgehampton, and support of a bill under consideration in Albany to establish a Southampton Community Development Agency.

 

P.D.D. Moratorium

A special Southampton Town Board meeting was held last Thursday to consider extending the current moratorium on new planned development districts. No vote was taken, as the board is waiting to hear from the Suffolk County Planning Commission.

The moratorium has been in place since last June. Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, who has proposed repealing the P.D.D. law, sought to extend the moratorium by three months to ensure no such applications would be received while the board debates.

A public hearing on the extension, which elicited comments from the East Quogue and Hampton Bays Citizens Advisory Committees in favor of the extension, has been closed. Written comments will be accepted until next Thursday, while the board waits to hear from the county.
