TASCA has now roquosled from the Village Board that it -be granted an open hearing in order to discMs.s and restate its reasons for the upzoning. Tho Association has gone on record approving the extension of residcnlal \A\ in this aroa foj- the good and welfare of the surrounding community. , The consensus of opinion was j4,hat two acres of vacant land at i the end of a residential area with .'.limited access would impose un due hardship to the civic.s now residing there, in tho form of in creased motor vehicle traffic and an increased labor staff, creating both a physical and moral Itazard. Although the, properly faces marine business and residential \A\ on’its westerly and northerly sides respccUvcly, U' does face a manufacturing area bn its easterly and southerly sides, which is in character with the area directly 11 north ■Of it. . ‘il TASp.A deplores UiU. condition| and Js at the p r e s e t' time at- rp i tempting 'to rr^tify and improve same.

Saturday; June 13. to Bofiomia for; fhair Annual Parade whec«s he hopes to continue tho fine record sierleil in Lindenhurst. ■ This parcel, which incidentally is completely landlocked, has been zoned marine business for the past six years and the owners have had no great onslaught of buyers anxious to purchase same for its presently zoned use. Taxes on the property have Iripleci since the county executive insisted on over-taxing vacant* land. This has caused this linger ing problem to be put into im mediate focu.s an'd command “quick action.” ' It is undei*standable that the boatmen, promoting Freeport as the \Boating and Fishing Capital” i of the area, do not wish to re linquish any marine business property. It should be pointed out how ever, that ihere are many areas in the circumference of the Vil lage now zoned industrial, such as the area behind the stadium which could be upzoned to marine business uses which would-pro mulgate- the character of 'our “Boating and Fishing A^illage\ and at the same time inci-casc tlie de sirability of oUr “Home Town” atmosphere. . In the past our Village Fathers have been very patient with t A s CA, and others in their efforts to improve our area. They have spent many nights and into the . wee hours of the morning attempt ing to solve our problems equit ably and in the best interest of the community as a tvhole. There is no doubt that there will bo a repeat performance by pthem in this, direction and that the problem will bo resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned. JUNE 14 ~ FLAQ DAY ^ I, Robert J.
