Strategies:

• Create a limited number of residential lots based on historic lotting patterns that perpetuate Southampton at its best.
• Establish open spaces to retain historic view corridors and preserve Southampton’s scenic character.
• Install a mature landscape (including two-hundred-fifty 30’ tall London Planetrees) to blend with existing streets.
• Facilitate local approvals by implementing rigorous design guidelines.
• Prepare architectural and landscape designs to meet the estate buyer’s expectations while blending with the distinctive Southampton character.

Outcomes:

• A sensitive development approach that led to broad community support.
• Town planning board approval of the plan by unanimous vote.
• Set new standards for infill development in the Hamptons.
