A public hearing has been set by the Town Board for Friday, Jan . 11 at 8:00 P . M. in the Sweet Hollow School to consider changing existing categories to Light Industry A and Light In- dustry B. Each area w ill be c onsidered separately at the public hearing and the Town Board' s resolution setting down the hearing pro- vides that the propos ed changes may be adopted as they affect one or more of the areas with- out adopting the rest . Areas 1 , 2 and 3 are south of the Long Island Expressway while Area 4 is north of it, Area I Is bisected fay Beth- page Rd. and extends from the Town of Oyster Bay boundary on. the wes t to Area 2 on the north , east jus t over Route 110 and south almost to the Town of Babylon boundary. There are 288.918 acres in this area with Broad Hollow Estates, Inc . and Fenix Sand and Gravel Corp as two of the largest land-owner3. Several other parcels are owned by tie Long Island Lighting Com- pany, and the distribution plant of the F. and M. Schaeffer Brew- ing Company.

Owners (Continued on page 6) By unanimous decision' die members of the Huntington Town Beard las t Sa turday denied the long pending Kollsman Realty Corporations application for a change of zoning on 46 acres , ln the southerly part of the,town. The Board said IB denial of the application was based on its conclusion ' that \ the Incursion of Industrial zonin g into theresi- dendal area of Dlx Hills Ssas not in the best interests of Hunt- ington Town \ . [ With the decision was a aiv- page prepared statement which recalled what the board sold was a \long deliberate and tortured*' time before Its decision was reached. Its lengthy explanation Infers that (Colls man has already expanded its facilities atSyosset ' and therefore would not need the property here. The Board also states that it intends to hold the line on industrial rezonlng along the Expressway. According to prev iously an- nounc ed reports , the firm of nor- land Bartholomew Associates , town planning fir m has recom- mended an area in Melville for Industrial zoning and the Board is following that recommendation. ( Se e story elsewhere on Page One). According to the Town Board , che tract sough t by Kollsman for rezonlng last year , had been considered . by them and the apw . plication men given to the . PJan»- . > ning Board for study. The lattier '^ group suggested a new zoning ' ~ classification be set up for; ' the industrial firm which said It reeded dust-free areas for its electronic laboratories and re- search. The area they sought is in \Residence B\ on Bagetelle Rd and off the Expressway. The hearing held In October on the rezonlng lor a Resfearcl. and De-VelopmsiC' .

Lee Den- nison ' s proposal of a system of county-wide, publicly owned airports , ln the planning stages for over two years , was pro- nounced \ officially dead\ Mon- day. The Board of Supervisors , meeting in executive session killed the last airport remaining in the project , when they re- fused to consider the purchase of the Montauk Airstrip. Monday was the last day the Board had to match a federal grant of $250 , 000 to pay for the 10O-acre airport and another 300 acres of surrounding land. After the session , Board Chairman Ar- thur M. Cromarty said the Su- pervisors felt the acquisition and improvement would reach a total outlay of over $1 , 000 , 000 , notthe 5500 , 000 figure projected b y Den- nison , and would never be self- sustaining. The original plan , prepared b y a Garden City firm at a cost of $80 , 000 calls for an $85 ,000 , 000 system of airports throughout Suffolk , including a super airport in Huntington . One-b y-one , the airports were withdrawn from the program by the Supervisors whose townships were involved , until two months ago , only the Montauk strip and Elizabeth Air- port on Fishers Island remained . Then the Fishers Island pro- ject was taken out. While Dennison saw the end of his project , Cromarty said two major airports may be in the hands of Suffolk some day, the Naval facility ln Calverton , and the County-owned (but leased to the government) Suffolk County Air force Base at Westhampton Beach. \It is conceivable that when the day of manned military aircraft is here , we may be able to obtain those two airports for county operation , \ Cromarty said.
