Hearings end on plans for massive Southampton compound, decision expected soon

The Southampton Village Board of Architectural Review closed its hearings on a plan to build a 14,561-square-foot house and a 5,055-square-foot neighboring guest house at 28 and 24 Gin Lane respectively. A final decision could be made within a month. Some residents have objected to investor Scott Shleifer building the massive new compound in the village’s historic district, but an architectural consultant’s report concluded the buildings were “appropriate.” [27East]
