ZONI~(~ BOARD OF APPEALS Barbara L. Carroza, Secretary After investigation and inspection and public hearing, the Board of Appeals finds the following: The Board finds that the permissive use is to establish a substation for the distribution of electric power in the Peconic area, located approximately half way between the Mattituck and Southold facilities of the Long Island Lighting Company. It is evident that a shortage of electric power will exist by the summer of 1965, due to the increasing use of electricity by present customers and the addition of new customers. Under New York State Law, Long Island Lighting Company is obligated to furnish this facility. The use will not prevent orderly and reasonable use of adjacent property, or of legally established uses in the vicinity. It is the Board's opinion that the safety, welfare, convenience, and comfort of the Town will be enhanced by the construction of this s~bstation. The use will promote the orderly development of the Peconic area ~S ~11 as indirectly assist the Southold and Mattituck area. The area surrounding the,proposed site is partially wooded, relatively sparseley settled, residential and agricultural in character. The wooded area of the proposed site will largely screen the substation from Mill Road and Sound View Avenue, and it is on the existing tower transmission line. It is the opinion of the Board that it will be very difficult to locate this facility so necessary to the economy of the Town, in a more favorable location. Assistance in choosing the present location was rendered by the Town Supervisor. Testimony of the Long Island Lighting Company Engineering Department indicated that a substation must be reasonably close to a transmission line to be economical and effective. The Board of Appeals finds that an immediate need exists and that the conservation of property values, as well as future development and enhancement of property values requires a constructive approach to the reasonable and necessary requirements of this proposed utility expansion. The future development ~of the Town and expansion of utility service are inseparable. In this application, Long Island Lighting Company has contracted to buy, subject to the approval of this use, a considerably larger plot area of approximately 3.2 acres; more than required for this facility, The actual area to be used will be about one-half acre, which will be enclosed by a seven foot chain link fence, topped with barbed wire. Maximum height of proposed facility is projected at 24 feet as compared to the present tower line, whose voltage lines are approximately 40 feet above ground. Long Island Lighting Company February 18, 1965 Any further expansion is to be located within the fenced area noted above in the northwest corner of property at approximate. distances as follows: 280 feet south of Mill Road, at closest point and 450 feet west of Sound View Avenue and Mill Road intersection. A considerable portion of these distances are highly wooded as shown in the aerial photograph, Exhibit 1, in the appendix to the application. Principal objections by persons at the hearing were of an aesthetic nature, however, applicant's site is largely screened by wooded land ~,~and will be further screened by evergreens to the north. Further objections concerned the depreciation of property values of the objectors. It is the opinion of the Board that no such devaluation will occur as a result of this use, and that the applicant's facility will be largely screened from surrounding property and that, in fact, the service orendered will assist the objectors in the sale and development of p~Dperty. Therefore, it was RESOLVED that Long Island Lighting Company, 250 Old Country Road, Mineola, New York, be granted permission to establish a new electric substation on property located on the west side of Mill Lane, Peconic, New York, subject to the following condition: 1. That a suitable evergreen planting as outlined in the appendix, Drawing F27971, shall be planted on the northerly border ~nd that the present wooded area shall remain wooded. The evergreens to the north shall be planted within six months of initial operation of the new substation.

Long Island Lighting Company, a public utility, is obligated under New York State laws to supply electric power to all who properly apply for it. Because of this obligation and in view of the inability of existing electric substations to efficiently serve the increasing demand for electric power in the Southold area, it will be necessary to establish a new substation to serve this area by the summer of 1965. The proposed substation, to be known as the "Peconic Substation" is designed to supplement the existing substation capacity at other sites which have served the Towns of Southold and Shelter Island up to the present time~ The proposed site has been selected to permit the efficient establishment of electric distribution facili- ties. We respectfully submit that the construction of the proposed dis- tribution substation is in the public interest and will promote the general welfare of the community. -1- SUBSTATION LOCATIO~ The proposed site for the new Peconic Substation is located approxi- mately 280 feet south of Mill Road and approximately 450 feet west of Sound View Avenue in the Town of Southold as sho%m in Exhibit 1, an aerial photograph of the area. The proposed site for the Peconic Substation will be in the north- west portion of a parcel of property approximately 375 feet by 400 feet with a 50 foot wide strip facing on Mill Road approximately 100 foot deep for an entrance driveway. Exhibit 2 is a map of the property to be used as the Substation site. This map shows the location and dimensions of the property. -2- t MILL RD, PURPOSE AND NECESSITY A new electric substation will be r~quired in the Peconic area by the summer of 1965. This new substation is required to supply the increasing demand for electric power by our present customers and the demand created by the addition of new customers. The location of the proposed Peconic Substation with respect to the surrounding substations is sho%~ in Exhibit 3. This exhibit also shows the Southold- Shelter Island service area and the area to be served initially by the Peconic Substation. The average annual energy consumption per customer in the Southold- Shelter Island service area is shown in Exhibit 4, and the total annual energy consumption is shown in Exhibit 5. In 1959 the total energy consumption in this service area was 23,500,000 kilowatt- hours while in 1964 the total was 34,500,000 kilowatt-hours, an increase of 47 per cent. By 1969 we expect the total energy con- sumption to increase an additional 45 per cent. This increase in total energy consumption is the result of the increase in customer usage plus the addition of new customers. The increase of electric load in an area at substantial distances from the substations from which it is supplied, causes a reduction in the efficiency of the electric distribution system. The condi- tion is worsened each year as the load increases. By the summer of 1965, under normal operating conditions, we will be unable to main- tain an adequate voltage level to the customers in the Peconic area. In the event of an emergency such as an electrical failure at the Mattltuck Substation, the entire area must be served from the Southold Substation. Under these conditions the voltage level in the Mattituck area will be so low as to be intolerable. Failure to provide this additional substation would jeopradize service reliability to our customers and would impair the efficient opera- tion of the customer's appliances. The site for the new substation at Peconic was selected because it is adjacent to the existing high voltage transmission line and is well located with respect to the electric load center of the area to be served. As such it will permit the efficient establishment of electric distribution facilities, which will improve customer voltage and reduce the number and length of electric service inter- ruptions to all the customers in the area between the villages of Mattituck and Southold. -3- ,/ / '1 ).

Facilities drawn with a solid line are proposed for 1965. Facilities drawn with a dashed line ~11 be added in the future as required by load growth. The substation will be surrounded by a 7 foot chain link fence with an additional foot of barbed wire attached along its top. Ail structures and equipment components will be of modern design and operation. The substation will not discharge any refuse, sewage or effluent. The proposed installation will not emit obnoxiuos gases, odors, dust, smoke or soot and it will not cause a disturbing emission of electric discharges, light, vibrations, or objectionable noise. Traffic flow to and from the station will be minor, since the station is normally unattended. When the substation is in normal operation, our Maintenance Depart- ment will schedule several visits each week to change recording charts and to check the general appearance of the property. One complete overhaul per year will be performed and will include test- ing of all electrical and mechanical equipment. Outdoor equipment will be painted in conjunction with the maintenance schedule. The substation will be attractively landscaped and maintained as shown in Exhibit 7.
