The developers, Darren

•build condominium.'. units

docks. The property is sit­uated
on the west side of
South Main Street across
from the entrance to Cow

Hempstead, rathe/ than
the Village of Freeport,

Town zoning.
Maycir Storm responded
to Mr. Iskob' questions by
noting that 'regretfully,'
Darren Realties (a/k/a
Monte) had not contacted
the village authorities
about the meeting, al-do
so.
Many residents, how­ever,
had told the mayor
about the meeting, for
which Darren had dis­tributed
circulars.'
Mr. Iskols asked if, un­der
the water cap, Darren
could build a condo­minium.
Mrs. Storm re­sponded
that he - ap­parently
had already
•greatly reduced" the pro­posed
number of condo
units from 100 units to
80, and then to 11 per
acre, as he heard of op­position
to the develop­ment
from residents.
According ' to Mrs.
Storm, Darren Reality had .
also promised to retain a
marina at the site. .
The mayor said she
Would attend the meeting
and, until she arrived, her
secretary would be there
to take ininutes for • her.
