Watch Big House Presentation by Southold Civics
This coming Tuesday, the Southold Town Civic Associations will be making a presentation at a public meeting of the Town Board on the ever-increasing house sizes in Southold. The presentation will include our joint proposal for limiting house size in Southold, something that almost all other East End towns have enacted. (East End Beacon article)
Civic groups ask Town Board to take action on large houses
A seasonal bungalow razed to make way for a year-round home. A historic cottage leveled and replaced with something much larger.
Sound familiar?
It does to virtually every civic group within Southold Town — and they are pressuring the Town Board to take action on house size.
Members of the Orient Association, East Marion Community Association, Cutchogue Civic Association, New Suffolk Civic Association and Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association, appealed to the board during a work session Tuesday, arguing that while each hamlet organization must contend with its own unique issues, house size transcends geographical boundaries.
