Sketch Determinations:
Chairman Orlowski: Grathwohl, Jeff- This proposal is to set off a 1 acre lot from a
26.86 acre parcel. The property is located 789' south of Naugles Road, on the east side
of Luther's (Breakwater) Road in Mattituck. SCTM#1000-106-9-2.4
Dawn Thomas, Esq.: I represent the Grathwohls. I don't know if you've had the
opportunity - I had written a letter concerning the issues that had arisen at the last
meeting with respect to the Park and Playground Fee. My reading of your Subdivision
Code seems to allow an exception for such a set-off application from the definition of
subdivision, if it meets certain criteria. I'm repeating everything that's in the letter so, if
I'm being redundant, please let me know.
Chairman Orlowski: We've all read the letter and we don't agree. There is a fee to be
paid. What the Board is willing to, instead of charging the two fees, is just charge the
fee for the one lot created. The Board still feels very strongly that every residential lot
created has to pay for it. If there's any discrepancy, you can go to the Town Board and
ask them to lower it or waive it but we are prepared to just charge you for the one lot.
Ms. Thomas: Is that included in your resolution this evening?
Chairman Orlowski: No, because this is just sketch.
Ms. Thomas: All right. Very good.
Mr. Cremers: Mr. Chairman, I'll offer the following:
