VILLAGE BOARD DENIES
APARTMENT APPLICATION The Board of Trustees of the Inc. Village of
Farmingdale conducted a public hearing on Monday
on the application of Norman F. Sullivan and
Catherines. Nielsenfor " Special Use" permits to
erect two apartment buildings containing 62 units
of apartments on the south side of Conklin Street,
between Secatogue Avenue and Oakview Avenue.
About 25 interested taxpayers and residents attended
the hearing. A petition signed by property
owners adjacent to the Sullivan and Nielsen property,
was presented to the Board of Trustees as
opposed to the apartment house.
Under Section 179, Village
Law, protests registered by 20

of the Board in entertaining further
applications for rezoning
to apartment house use in that
the Fulton Street complexes appear
to be adequate for the Farmingdale
area, and furthermore,
other areas so zoned for apartments
have not been fully utilized.
Attorney Kendrick C. Smith,
representing Sullivan and Nielsen,
in rebuttal, replied that the
area directly opposite the peti-tionsers'
property was zoned for
business as well as multiple
dwellings, therefore, " spot zoning"
would not occur, Conklin
Street is a heavily traversed
roadway and does not lend itself
