Introduction, Purpose, and Background Upper Southampton last updated its Comprehensive Plan in 1998. Certain recommendations of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan materialized, indicating that such planning provides a proactive approach to accommodating change and can assist the Township in realizing many of its goals. In 1998, the now- recognized need for sustainable actions and activities was not a current issue then. The intervening years have shown that planning for sustainability is a paramount concern, therefore this Plan update seeks to address this topic from the prospective and with the principles of Smart Growth, Green Growth, and Sustainability. Although changes within the Township over the past 11 or so years have been modest because of its urban/suburban condition, Upper Southampton must plan for a sustainable future, one that enhances the quality of life and promotes economic vitality with renewed vigor. Thus, the Township’s initiative to update the 1998 Comprehensive Plan is very timely. This update of the Upper Southampton Township Comprehensive Plan is prepared under the authority granted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to municipalities to prepare comprehensive plans in accordance with the provisions of the PA Municipalities Planning Code (MPC). Article III of the MPC provides requirements regarding the content and information that must be included as part of a comprehensive plan. A comprehensive plan should provide a foundation for local planning in a regional-context, a ready resource containing the policies that guide land use decisions in a community. It can help a community to shape and/or re-shape its future by guiding the formulation of zoning and subdivision ordinances, the acquisition/preservation of open space, transportation improvements, the protection of natural and historic resources, the provision of community facilities, and appropriate commercial, retail, and industrial revitalization. This update is intended to ensure that the Upper Southampton Township Comprehensive Plan continues to serve as such a resource. The plan provides a road map for housing, land use, community facilities, and transportation.

  • Hampshire and the Company of White Paper Makers
    HAMPSHIRE AND THE COMPANY OF WHITE PAPER MAKERS By J. H. THOMAS, B.A. HAMPSHIRE has long been associated with the manufacturing of writing materials, parchment being made at Andover, in the north of the county, as early as the 13th century.1 Not until some four centuries later, however, did Hampshire embark upon the making of paper, with Sir Thomas Neale (1565-1620/1) financing the construction of the one-vat mill at Warnford, in the Meon Valley, about the year 1618. As far as natural requirements were concerned, Hampshire was well-endowed for the making of paper. Clear, swift chalk-based streams ensured a steady supply of water, for use both as motive power and in the actual process of production. Rags, old ropes and sails provided the raw materials for conversion into paper, while labour was to be found in the predominantly rural population. The amount of capital required varied depend­ ing on the size of the mill concerned, and whether it was a conversion of existing plant, as happened at Bramshott during the years 1640-90, or whether the mill was an entirely new construction as was the case at Warnford and, so far as is known, the case with Frog Mill at nearby Curdridge. Nevertheless Hampshire, like other paper-making counties, was subject to certain restraining factors. A very harsh winter, freezing the water supply, would lead to a cut-back in production. A shortage of materials and the occurrence of Holy days would have a similar result, so that in 1700 contemporaries reckoned on an average working year of roughly 200 days.2 Serious outbreaks of plague would also hamper production, the paper-makers of Suffolk falling on hard times for this reason in 1638.3 Though Hampshire had only one paper mill in 1620, she possessed a total of ten by 1700,4 and with one exception all were engaged in the making of brown paper.

Moeller June 2005 Additional copies of the HISTORIC PROFILE OF HAMPTON BAYS: Phase I May be obtained through Squires Press POB 995 Hampton Bays, NY 11946 $25 All profits to benefit: The Hampton Bays Historical & Preservation Society HISTORIC PROFILE OF HAMPTON BAYS INTRODUCTION: The Town of Southampton has sponsored this survey of his- toric resources to complement existing and forthcoming planning initiatives for the Hamlet of Hampton Bays. A Hampton Bays Montauk Highway Corridor (Hamlet Centers) Study is anticipated to commence in the near future. A review of Hampton Bays history and an inventory of hamlet heritage resources is considered a necessary component in order to help insure orderly and coordinated development within the Hamlet of Hampton Bays in a manner that respects community character. Hampton Bays United, a consortium of community organizations, spearheaded the initiative to complete a historical profile for Hampton Bays and a survey of hamlet heritage re- sources. The 2000 Hampton Bays Hamlet Center Strategy Plan adopted as an update to the 1999 Comprehensive Plan was limited to an area from the railroad bridge tres- tle on Montauk Highway near West Tiana Road (westerly border) to the Montauk Highway railroad bridge near Bittersweet Avenue (easterly border.) Shortly, the De- partment of Land Management will be preparing a “Hampton Bays Montauk High- way Corridor Land Use/Transportation Strategy Study” which will span the entire length of Montauk Highway from Jones Road to the Shinnecock Canal.

Due to its location at the head of Southampton Water, into which the rivers Test and, adjacent to the docks, the Itchen flow, it is well sheltered and being approximately mid-way along the English Channel, the port also uniquely experiences a daily double high tide leading to prolonged periods of high water, thus greatly facilitating the movement of large ships at all states of the tide.
