Southampton zoning board approves East Quogue golf course for subdivision

The Southampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals approved the building of an 18-hole golf course as a recreational amenity for a proposed 118-unit subdivision in East Quogue, 27east reported. The board found the golf course to be comparable to other recreational amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts, which are allowed in planned residential districts. A nearly identical proposal by the developer, Arizona-based Discovery Land Company, previously failed to secure approval because of the golf course issue. The proposed project, known as The Hills in East Quogue, will now move on to the Southampton Town Planning Board, which will nail down its final layout, design and development. [27east]
