Dear Southampton Shores Neighbors,
On April 9, the Southampton Town Board shot down a proposed amendment to
the town code that would have allowed septic retaining walls to be built without a
permit from the building inspector.
As a result of this decision, the six-foot high concrete retaining walls (pictured below)
that Marc Levin and Mariana Loose (116 Turtle Cove Drive) constructed facing Turtle
Cove Drive, and directly on our shared property line, remain non-compliant. The law
at the time construction began, and today, states that such walls should be no
greater than 4 feet in height and set back a minimum of 5 feet from the street and, on
the side yard, set back far enough to landscape.
To date, our neighborly efforts, verbally and in writing, to offer a settlement to help
the Levins comply with a re-design have been unsuccessful.
On May 2, there will be a 7pm public hearing of the Zoning Board of Appeals at
Southampton Town Hall, 16 Hampton Road, concerning the appropriate height
and location of the Levins’ walls. I would urge residents of Southampton Shores
who care about maintaining the bucolic character of our community to attend the
meeting and voice their concerns.
Sincerely,
Lewis Liman

House for Sale 33 West Beach Drive
Dear Southampton Shores family -
Our
wonderful parents purchased our house - 33 West Beach Drive - almost 60
years ago and our family has enjoyed being a part of this amazing, one
of a kind community ever since. However, the time has come for us to
part with our home and we've decided to offer it for private sale to the
community first.
I
wouldn't know where to start in describing the best features of the
property. The amazing beach, the short walk to the bay right in our
back yard, the beauty of Turtle Cove just across the street, the most
amazing sunsets known to man, etc., etc.
We
are asking $2.5 million. Ideally, we would love to have use of the
house for this summer. Please call me with any questions or comments.
Blessings,
Chris Greiner
