A new proposal for development on Jobs Lane in Southampton Village could adversely impact the architectural and historic values enjoyed in the village’s business district.
Winding through a variety of village boards is a proposal for a large redevelopment of property located in the middle of Jobs Lane. This building would overwhelm the look and feel of historic Jobs Lane.
For those who value the history and quiet charm of this iconic roadway, please follow the actions of the village in the days and months ahead. Action has already been taken by the Architectural Review Board by issuing a letter of appropriateness for the building while ignoring the recommendations found in the village’s comprehensive plan [“Jobs Lane Court Proposal Approved by Southampton Village ARB,” 27east.com, September 26].
Next will be a review by the Planning Board. Watch for this application and comment when the public hearings roll around.
I’ll report further as applications are put forward. Stay tuned.

Titmouse,...
