PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Wilcenski: 6:02 PM — NOFO Center Amended —This site plan is for
proposed interior alterations to an existing 4,866 sq. ft. multi-use building, no footprint
expansion, with thirty-six parking stalls on 0.7 acres in the General Business Zoning
District. The property is located at 75 Marlene Lane, Mattituck. SCTM#1000-143-3-1
Chairman Wilcenski: At this time I would like to bring in the applicants agent, if you
could please address the board and give a brief overview of your project. Anthony, can
you hear us?
Anthony Portillo: Good Evening Board, this is Anthony Portillo. So we are proposing to
utilize the existing building, we're not requesting for any change to the footprint or the
parking lot—the existing parking stalls will remain. We are requesting that units 1 and 2
are going to become nail salon units, unit 3 would be split between business office
space and retail and then units 4 and 5 would be for retail use.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay and all of the parking calculations have been done and
what's there is within the code?
Anthony Portillo: Yes, that's correct. We've provided the parking calculations, one
thing that came from those calculations was that the existing parking spaces, where
they did not conform originally , but by making some of the spaces into retail really
helped to reduce the parking requirement. The nail salon will be taxiing employees into
the nail'salon so they will not be utilizing any of the parking -that is their plan. But
overall, we were able to reduce the amount of parking that was required due to the retail
space. The original units 4 and 5 prior to this change of use request were utilized for a
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —January 10, 2022 — Page 10
hair salon, which is more square footage than units 1 and 2 are for the nail salon, which
does have the same parking load, so I just wanted to mention that.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, thank you. We have nobody in the meeting hall here, is
there anyone on the zoom call that may want to speak on this?
Jessica Michaelis: No.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, do any of the board members have any questions they
