No More Deals

I am writing in opposition to the proposed residential project on the site of the Dockers restaurant on Dune Road in East Quogue [“East Quogue Residents, Environmental Advocates Condemn Condo Proposal at Dockers Site,” 27east.com, November 8]. As I understand it, the project requires a zoning change from one nonconforming use to another. I have lived in the town long enough to remember that when a nonconforming use was exhausted, the site had to revert to a conforming use. No more exceptions, no more deals — simply adhere to the existing zoning. I believe this continued movement to disregard existing ... by Staff Writer

The “tyranny” is as follows: First, it’s complete and utter ecosystem destruction. Next comes the turf grass, along with trees and shrubs from other parts of the world that need life support to live here. Next, it’s the pesticides, the water use, the emissions, and then that damned life-ruining noise of the !+@%”*#*^*! “Infernal Gadgets” [Letters, November 13] — leaf blowers! Why?

Resort Hotel Approved at 71 Hill Street in Southampton Village

Plans for a resort hotel at 71 Hill Street have received conditional approval from the Southampton Village Planning Board, clearing the final village hurdle for the project before obtaining a building permit. The Southampton Village Planning Board green-lighted the plans on November 17 in a 5-0 vote. The project previously received a special permit from the Board of Trustees and approvals from the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Board of Architectural Review and Historic Preservation.
