Before Thursday night’s public hearing on new regulations for short-term rentals in Greenport Village, Mayor George Hubbard said the specifics of the legislation would be changed.
While many residents at Tuesday night’s Southold Town Board meeting agreed that having affordable housing for the area’s workers and retired population is important, others said they feared how a proposal to increase the number of units allowed in an affordable housing development will change the North Fork’s rural character.
Several residents are questioning a developer’s plan to build a private sports facility in Mattituck, saying the proposed indoor/outdoor athletic complex could hurt small businesses and degrade the area’s quality of life with increased traffic and noise.
At a series of public hearings late last summer, environmentalists and elected officials from across the region came out in strong opposition to the Army Corps of Engineers’ latest plan for disposing of dredged materials in Long Island Sound.

There will be a public hearing on Monday, Aug. 31, at 6 p.m. in Southold Town Hall before the Planning Board on the high-density development proposed for Southold Town in Cutchogue known as The Heritage. The proposed development would be a separate private “community.”
If Southold Town permits it, it will detract from, and be destructive of, our real community. Anticipated adverse impacts include the local environment, local economy and rural lifestyles.
This will be the first public hearing on this 32-year-old proposal since November 2014, when the Southold Town Board and the Southold Town Planning Board agreed to a Stipulation of Adjournment in Contemplation of Settlement.
In exchange for the developer putting the lawsuit on hold, Southold Town agreed that so far as they are relevant to this proposal it will:
• Not apply local laws #1, #2 and #3 of 2009 to this project;
• Freeze new local legislation on the property where the site plan is proposed for at least three and possibly seven years to provide time for consideration on the proposal;
• Expedite consideration of this proposal for dozens of luxury condos; and
• Refrain from opposing proposed water supply and sewage disposal.
Please come to listen and show you care, and come to speak up and let your representatives know what you want.
