The future of Southold is on the agendas in Town Hall, does anybody care?
Southolders are not always apathetic. I remember demonstrations in front of Town Hall, and also meetings where there was not even standing room. But, the meeting room is almost empty for most meetings. When the public is invited to an informational meeting, very few people usually show up.
Southold Town’s Master Plan is the epitome of the mysterious volumes of information that are hidden in the basement of Town Hall.
Go to the Town Supervisor’s office, Town Clerk’s office or Planning Department office and ask to see the Master Plan. Better yet, ask: What is the Master Plan? If you are lucky you will be shown a copy of the “Comprehensive Development Plan for the Town of Southold and the Village of Greenport” (Raymond and May Associates, White Plains, NY 1967) and the “Master Plan Update Summary” (Raymond Parish, Pine and Weiner, Tarrytown, NY 1985) along with supporting documents.
The truth is there is no current official Southold comprehensive plan. The current process is unlikely to succeed because it violates essential principles of comprehensive planning**.
