New Subdivision Moving Toward Approval- The Mastronardi subdivision, adjacent to and just east of The Preserve, has moved one step closer to final approval. Surveyors were spotted this week on Youngs Avenue flagging the property boundary. Meanwhile, the Town Planning Department has advised that preliminary drawings for the project have been received for review and that a date for a public hearing will be announced in the near future. A public notice will be posted on the property and a legal notice will be published in the Riverhead News-Review to announce the hearing for a probable date in May or sooner.
