Huntington Approves New 27,400 Square Foot Clubhouse at Indian Hills

By Niall Fitzgerald

The Huntington Town Planning Board approved a plan submitted by the Indian Hills Country Club to tear-down their existing 7,882 square foot clubhouse in Northport, and build a new 27,395 square foot clubhouse and catering hall.  The Planning Board meeting was held on August 20th.

The project has been opposed by the local Fort Salonga Homeowners Association, due to concerns about increased traffic and noise from a much expanded facility.

The existing facility can host events of 150 people, however the new facility will be able to cater two weddings of over 200 people, at the same time, according to attorneys for the Homeowners.

At the August 20th meeting of the Town of Huntington Planning Board, the Board unanimously approved the plan submitted by the Country Club and its architects, George Suddell Architects.

The Fort Salonga Home Owners Association sued to block the initial development plans, but the case was dismissed.

The site plan calls for 144 paved parking spaces, and an additional 84 spaces in the front of the building.

As part of the development plan, the Club is restricting its membership to 425 members.
