To Jay Schneiderman, Southampton Town Board, and Southampton Planning Board.


I am a property owner in Southampton and am 100% against any moratorium being imposed and/or any new restrictions imposed on Building, Constructing, Improving, Expanding, or Zoning changes within Southampton Township boundaries and any of its “Towns”, “Villages”, or “Hamlets” other than the normal and present Southampton Building and Zoning Codes.

Now is not the time to be putting up roadblocks for our workers and property owners within our town and the local economy’s fragile state. Any restrictions will only increase costs to property owners and hinder local business owners, employees that live and work in Southampton Township.

You and the Southampton Town board should be protecting Southampton property owners and taxpayers. Southampton property owners have paid incredible amounts of money to purchase property and enjoy our properties unencumbered.

As a property owner I support the local economy infrastructure, and local employers. Those local employers include restaurants, delis, retail stores, hardware stores, lumberyards, pool companies, landscape companies, architects, and real estate agents. Each person or employee within this sector rely on all of these venues for support and each other. We all rely on each other to survive and grow as a vibrant community.
This is the time to be supportive of local commerce and be supportive of your constituency and property owners not be restrictive!

I/we below are 100% against any proposed building moratorium within any portion, Southampton Township and any of it’s Town, Villages or hamlets.

NAME. ADDRESS. PHONE. EMAIL.

I have spent this week hearing from contractors and local shop owners who are terrified that these new restrictions will put their livelihoods at risk. It is clear that the people who keep our town running feel completely ignored by the board right now.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one worried about the future of our local economy. It keeps me going to see so many of you standing up to protect the livelihood of our neighbors and the value of our properties.

Property owner rights are paramount in a free society. Existing codes, rules, and regulations are more than adequate.

Changes to how we do things should not be orchestrated in a forum where those concerned are barred from attending to voice their concerns. This proposal could certainly wait until we return to business as usual.

As a resident of Water Mill and local business person in Southampton I do not believe it is the right time for Southampton to be putting any restrictions and building moratoriums. This will hurt the local economy and workers.

In these times the last thing we want to do is keep people from making a living. This should be shelved until this emergency is over!
