Residents can save a trip to Town Hall and avoid the sometimes long lines at the clerk’s offices there and in Montauk by ordering beach parking stickers and other required town permits by mail, Fred Overton, the town clerk, said this week.
Mr. Overton suggested that residents call his office to determine the cost of a desired permit before sending in a copy of a vehicle registration or other proof of residence with a check and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Once the materials have been received, Mr. Overton promised a one-day turnaround. About a month ago the clerk’s office began selling $25 resident beach parking stickers, required for the first time this year, and has sold more than 3, so far, bringing in $61, Ten thousand stickers were ordered, Mr.
Overton said, to match the $, in expected revenue included in this year’s town budget. “We probably will have to order more if we keep this pace,” the town clerk said.

SAGAPONACK
Village Approves Its First Subdivision
B Y J ENNIFER L ANDES It was an evening of firsts for the young Village of Sagaponack on Monday. Visitors were treated to the first official use of the new Village Hall for both the village board and village planning board meetings. It is just east of Sagg Main Street on Montauk Highway.
During the planning board meeting, the village adopted its first subdivision. The five lots at Gibson Lane, two on the north side of the property and three on the south side, contain an 11acre agricultural reserve that preserves a view to the ocean. Despite a downturn in the real estate market, Rhodi Winchell, the village clerk, estimated that from the phone calls she has received three of the lots already had buyers.
An architect who had been hired by one buyer was at the meeting.
Adelaide de menil east hampton nh They wanted to build a wing where the Purple House was standing. Frohmann insisted that no one used that stretch of road for beach parking, some board members countered that the number of cars parking there for any reason would increase if drivers saw other cars in the area. It has a much deeper, longer history. But this proved too complex since it involved a coalition of private and public land and uncertain ownership and maintenance.The difficult work on the subdivision design was done months ago. At the planning board meeting the resolution approving the subdivision was read. Among the basic conditions for approval were bringing water mains and hydrants to the site and supplying a few performance bonds. Even though all five board members voted to approve it, there was still some resistance to the plan, which is proposed for a lot much beloved by the commu-
nity.
Lee Foster refused to second the motion. The village board continued to consider whether to allow parking for members of Ocean Zendo, a Zen Buddhist group that meets in a building on Peter Matthiessen’s property on Bridge Lane. Joan Frohmann, a member of the group, attended the meeting to plead Ocean Zendo’s case.
“The situation is this: Zendo has existed for many, many years but has only run into problems recently with parking restrictions.” She said Southampton Town had granted the group a waiver when it had jurisdiction over the parking regulations on what are now village streets. The town issued a bright yellow card that members could place on their dashboards to exempt them from getting ticketed for parking along Bridge Lane.
Although Ms. Frohmann insisted that no one used that stretch of road for beach parking, some board members countered that the number of cars parking there for any reason would increase if drivers saw other cars in the area. “We’ve seen 15 cars attract other cars when the beach parking lots are overflowing,” Alfred Kelman, a board member, said. “We’re all village residents, we’ve all seen it.” The board suggested instead that a dirt road or field on the property be used, but Ms.
Frohmann was resistant
to the idea. “We don’t have the contributions to cover it and no landscaper” to do the regrading that would be necessary.

You've read 4 of your 7 free articles this month. Observers think Baron will keep the lot abutting his own property, and sell the other two. Powers explained.She also said she was hesitant to ask Mr. Matthiessen for such a large favor. “Personally, I wouldn’t want to ask Mr. Matthiessen to fix his road,” she said, adding that asking him to trim bushes and mow the grass would be intrusive. The board said it would consider her request, but wanted her to pursue other options.
“If you find someone to give you an approximation, I think you’ll find it’s not that expensive” to do the work required, Ms. Foster said. Mayor Donald Louchheim said the board would continue to ponder the best solution. “I suggest that you just look at the alternative, what would make that road usable from May to September,” when the parking restrictions are in effect.
Barbara Albright, a resident attending the meeting, suggested that the group find its own parking.

She said Southampton Town required the church she attends to find its own parking when its events exceeded its capacity. She said she did not see why this case should be any different. Ms. Foster said the board should visit the site and bring Ms. Frohmann back for further discussion.
