Town Of Southampton Planning Board Work Session
The Planning Board reviewed two primary agenda items. The first was a request from a property owner to purchase development rights, allowing the property to remain 100% cleared, which deviates from the typical policy of 75% clearing. The board discussed the importance of native vegetation, potential buffering, and the precedent-setting nature of allowing 100% clearing. The second item involved a final application for a two-lot subdivision at 80 Anchor Street in Flanders. The discussion focused on the requirement for installing Innovative/Alternative (I/A) onsite wastewater treatment systems for both the new lot and the existing residence, and the applicant's request to proceed with subdivision approval while finalizing the septic system installation and grant funding process.
