Five Groups Sponsor Land Use Lecture

“Green earth or blacktop?” is the theme of a discussion to be held next Thursday by a panel of three experts in the field on what makes up the most appropriate u.se of land in South- old Town. The meeting, jointly spon­sored by five local civic and environ­mental organizations including the North Fork Environmental Council, Inc, the League of Women Voters, the North Fork Taxpayers’ Association, the Na­ture Conservancy, and the N orth Fork Audubon Society, will be held a t the Southold Presbyterian Church com­munity hall a t 8 P M on Thursday, April 12.

Mr Pawlukiewicz is a t present with the Department of Environmental Protec­tion of the Town of Huntington, and Is a seasoned observer of Long Island’s planning problems and assets.

A second speaker, whose specialty is zoning law, is Bonnie June Mellon, secretary of the Hempstead Town Land Resources Council, a group th a t has won the American Motors Award among locally-based con.servation or­ganizations on a nationwide basis for its contribution to wise local land use. According to Mrs Mellon, the law al- ready exists for sensible zoning ac­cording to local needs, and in fact has been on the New York S tate books since the 1920’s, when it was modelled after standards established by the late Herbert Hoover. The th ird speaker, probably from either County or State government, is to be announced later this week, according to the N orth Fork Environmental Council’s president,, Lo- raine Terry, whose incorporated citi­zen’s group has organized the inform a­tional meeting as an activity of its associated Emergency Committee for Zoning Reform.
