Village Latch winds up on the outside BY ALYSSA MELILLO There is a curiosity about the boundary line for the proposed Southampton Village sewer dis- trict: the Village Latch Inn, a cen- tury-old hotel on Hill Street, is on one side of the line delineat- ing the business district, while the neighboring Southampton Inn-which provides the same services, only on a slightly larger scale-is on the other. The line makes an enormous difference in two ways: The Southampton Inft is inside the boundary and thus would be connected to the village's pro- posed $33 million sewer system, and would pav a significantly The Village Latch. higher amount each year as a result. The inn's annual cost is expected to be about $38,000 in property taxes to help pay for the sewers, and more than $100,000 for sewage treatment services. By comparison, the total annu- al cost to the Village Latch Ion, on the outside of the boundary. would be a little more than $500 a year. . The Latch was sold in Octo- ber to developers Steven Dubb and George Benedict-the lat- ter is the father-in-law of Village Mayor Mark Epley-with a plan See LATCH, Page Al4 Southampton Inn asks village to redraw boundary BY ALYSSA MELILLO The Southampton Inn would no doubt face the heftiest financial impact of all properties connected to the proposed Southampton Village sewer district, paying more than $140,000 in prop- erty taxes and sewer treat ment services per year. Now, there is a possibili- ty that the Village Planning Commission, which drew up the boundary lines for the service area, could move the boundary by one property to the east-to exclude the Southampton Inn.

Not everyone was happy about that decision, however, At ber last meeting on the Southampton Town Board, out- roing Councilwoman Bridget Fleming expressed disappoint- inent that the plan-which has been in the works for sever- al years not be adopt- ed now, saying that the town is doing a disservice to the envi- ronment by putting it off until a new board is seated. According to Councilwoman Christine Scalera, however, the document includes many key points for protecting the town's waterways, and taking as much time as possible to review a plan is always a good thing.
