Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 Lettieri 280A access for lots SCTM# 1000-22-3-19 to 22 Dear President Krupski and Members of the Board: I would respectfully request a presubmission conference with the Board regarding the proposed 280A access to the above referenced lots. As you know this property has been the subject of litigation with the adjacent major subdivision, Cove Beach Estates. Alternative access over the adjacent parcel has been sought unsuccessfully through court action. The owners of the above referenced parcels have agreed not to subdivide the five acre lots, however they will require 280A access from the Zoning ~oard of Appeals and a wetland permit from you. Before we locate the proposed access, we request your guidance and assistance. Very truly yours, Patricia C.

Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 June 24, 1993 This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617, of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review) of the Environmental Conservation Law. The lead agency has determined that the proposed action described below- may have a significant effect on the environment and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared. Title of Action: SEQR Status: Project Description: SCTM Number: Location: Minor Subdivision Joseph Frederick Gazza East Marion, New York Type I Action The project which is the subject of this Determination, involves a subdivision of 4.915 acres into two (2) lots. The project site is in a Critical Environmental Area and contains wetlands associated with Dam Pond. Four additional subdivision p. rojects are pending in the same geographic area and will involve common and potentially significant impacts. 1000-22-3-19 The site consists of 4.915 acres and is located ~vest of Dam Pond beginning at a point 1,414.51 feet north of Main Road that is 1,950 feet east of Stars Road, East Marion. Joseph Frederick Gazza SEQR Determination Comments: The Planning Board is reviewing this project simultaneously with the following applications: Minor Subdivisio of Andrew Lettieri SCTM # 1000-31-5-1.2 Minor Subdivision of Bernice Lettieri SCTM # 1000-22-3-20 Minor Subdivision of Joseph Frederick Gazza(_?l:") SC'TM # 1000-22-3-21 Minor Subdivision of Grundbesitzer Corp. & Andrew Lettieri SCTM # 1000-22-3-22 Reasons Supporting This Determination: This determination is issued in full consideration of the criteria for determination of significance contained in 6 NYCRR Part 617.11, the Long Environmental Assessment Form Parts I and II, and the following specific reasons: (1) The. project has been evaluated through a Long EAF Part III which discusses in detail enwronmental and planning aspects of the project. (2) The action(s) will result in significant loss of open space in a Town and County designated Critical Environmental Area which contains unique habitat and resources associated with Dam Pond. (3) The action(s) will result in impairment of the viability of unique habitat areas including overgrown field, tidal wetlands, dunelands and first growth woods. The diversity of habitats and the fragmentation and loss of same represents a significant ecological impact. (4) The .action(s) may cause impact to the surface waters of Dam Pond in the form of erosion and sedimentation, stormwater runoff, and nitrogen load. In addition the actions will require water supply and use in an area of limited water supply potential. (5) The action shoUld be considered in a context which will seek to maximize open space retention in a sensitive Critical Environmental Area through coordination of contiguous open space with adjoining parcels including Cove Beach Estates and four (4) additional currently pending subdivisions noted herein. 6) The action(s) will cause potential visual impacts. 7) The action(s) require common access and will share some utilities and impacts. The viability of the access from the Andrew Lettieri parcel to other parcels to the north has been questioned by the Town Trustees as this access may require a road crossing over Trustees land -- an action which the Trustees have indicated they are not inclined to permit. Access to the subject Joseph Frederick Gazza piece as proposed requires this wetlands road crossing. (8) An environmental impact statement would permit the proper consideration of generic impacts associated with the combination of the five (5) projects, and allow for reasonable mitigation measures and alternatives to be explored.

The Boards primary concerns surround wetland habitat fragmentation and potential degradation of the wetland associated with constructing homes and a road in this location. We believe these concerns can only be addressed through the SEQRA process and by comparing alternative development strategies. We do not want to overly encourage you in your endeavors for a road in this location. Absent a plan which would address our overall concerns for the site, which is contiguous to a Trustee designated Critical :Environmental Area and a means of providing an easement which would clearly benefit the public (i.e. not provide an exclusive easement) we would be unable to help anyone wanting a road in this location. On face value, the Trustees might even have a problem with a public road in this location were the property entirely in public ownership. Any plans to develop the peninsula will have to take into account the possibility that the waters and nearshore areas of this "pond" are a finfish breeding area of considerable local importance.

The Board of Trustees, which was created in 1676, holds title to all waters of the Town by virtue of the Andros patent. The Town is in the process of attempting recovery of the original document from the Brooklyn Museum. A complete chain of authority.exists for this ownership; town and state pre-colonial documents and the original State Constitution are r~plete with references to the patent and support our rights of ownership as not subject to divestiture. We do not consider the county tax maps the definitive authority on the ownership of underwater lands. Mean high water and all surface waters must be accurately depicted on a licensed survey for us to consider their veracity. Before a meeting with the Board at one of our evening work sessions it might be advisable to meet in the field with an accurate survey of the property. Should the surface waters and underwater lands of the Town not be involved you will still be required to secure a permit from this office for activities covered by our wetland ordinance and coastal erosion Hazard Act where applicable. The Boards next field survey is scheduled for March 19, 1992. Please feel free to schedule a meeting with our clerk for that date. Very truly yours, John M.

It is unfortunate that I was not apprised that your Board would be discussing the above referenced "at some length" at your 1/16/1992 work session. Prior to your preparing any formal resolution regarding access to our lands I respectfully request the opportunity to address your Board on the following 1ssues: 1. Fee Title ownership to the above referenced parcels as conveyed by Deeds throughout each lots chain of title describes land as shown on Suffolk County Tax Map(copy attached). 2. The low land lying along the boundary lines of Lot 19 & Lot 001.2 has been designated by the NYS DEC as containing plant species that survive in a wetland area however this land area is not "underwater land".(*) 3. The ownership of lands of the Town of Southold is shown as "Da~~ Pond" on the tax map photocopy enclosed. By what document do you base your statement that the land along the boundary of Lot 19 & 1.002 is "Town Trustee Land" (P2 of 1/21/92 correspondence of Town Trustees to Town Planning Board.) (*) The High water line of Dam Pond is accurately shown on the County Tax Map and our surveys and does not extend west of the South West corner of Lot 20. 4. The early Title to the above referenced parcels can be traced to Seth H. Tuthill who designated this land the "Rocky Point Farm". On 3/20/1857 Joseph Lewis Tuthill & William S. Hobart Executo~ of the last will and testament of Seth H. Tuthill conveyed the "Rocky Point Farm at Liber 63 page 91 to Jonathan Truman & George Tuthill. George Tuthill who died 1870 left a will recorded at Liber E Page 155 and Liber 10 page 602. George Tuthill's heirs at law were Henry H.C. Tuthill and Juliett M. Lamphear. In the early 1900's, Henry H.C.Tuthill & Juliett M. Lamphear by Deed Liber 458 page 402 divided the peninsula into lots as they appear on the tax map today. Rights of way to these lots via travelled farm roads have existed since their creation to the main road. The travelled farm road that crosses the lowland area of Lot 19 & 001.2 exists at an elevation of over 6ft. above mean sea level. This road provides ingress & egress for auto and truck, contains no wetlands on it and my individual use thereof has been uninterupted during my 14 years of ownership of Lots 19 & 21. The peninsula was farmed land and as such required continuous ~ul~+~ by farm equipment & tractors. The idea of restricting ~ over 20 acres for use only by foot(P3 your letter s~o-)is a matter our attention will undoubtedly be focusing on at our meeting. Kindly advise when I may appear before your Board to discuss the above referenced.

Gazza, Grundbesitzer & Lettieri, & A. Lettieri) SCTM #s: 1000-22-3-20, 1000-22-3-21, 1000-22,3-22, 1000-31'5-1.2 Dear Ms. Scopaz: The Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) has received your letter of December 24, 1991, regarding the above-referenced application and has no objectiOn to the Southold Town Planning Board's designation as lead agency. Based on the information reviewed, and the overall site location within a designated Critical Environmental Area (Peconic Estuary & Dam Pond), we believe that the magnitude and significance of potential environmental impacts is sufficient to warrant the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). We believe the DEIS process is the most responsible way to assess the potential impacts of the proposed overall site development, and to examine potential alternative actions which could minimize potential negative environmental effects. In our opinion, individual reviews of the five separate minor subdivision proposals would circumvent the comprehensive review requirements and intent of SEQRA. The implementing rUles · and regulations for SEQRA state clearly that "considering only a part or a segment of an action is contrary to the intent of SEQRA"[NYCRR: 617.3(k)(1)]. In January of 1988 the applicants involved in these proposals were informed by our agency that owing to the interrelationships of the subject properties, it was requested that the developments be consolidated into one overall project and map (see attached SCDHS letter of 1/13/88). In addition, separate project reviews are also inconsistent with the stated objectives of SEQRA which call for agencies to avoid urmecessary duplication of reporting and review COUNTY CENTER RIVERHEAD. N.Y. ~ 1901-3397 Letter to Valerie Scopaz January 24, 1992 Page 2 requirements, and which recommend the combination or consolidation of proceedings in the interest of prompt review [NYCRR: 617.3(1)]. Combined review reduces duplication of efforts and provides the benefit of increased altemative design flexibility. Based on our review, we are most concerned with the subject proposal's individual cumulative effects upon potable water supply, regulated tidal wetlands, coastal wildlife habitat (on and adjacent to the site), public access to water resources, and local visual aesthetics in this highly visible and scenic area. In addition, we submit the following commems for your consideration. I. Suffolk County Sanitary Code (SCSC) A. Article 6 Application St_atus: The SCDHS has received five separate applications for two and three4ot realty subdivisions of overall site. To date, our agency has issued approval for only one 2-Iot land division on the overall property. This approval (Minor Map of Andrew Lettieri) issued in 1985, involved the southernmost portion of the overall site (SCTM#: 1000-31-5-1.2). All of the other applications are currently incomplete. Please be advised that SCDHS subdivision approvals automatically expire if the applicant has not filed a realty subdivision map with the Office of the Clerk of Suffolk County within six months of the date of approval of the Department (SCSC, Article VI, Sec.760-602). Absent evidence to the contrary, it does not appear that the minor subdivision of Andrew Lettieri was ever fried with the County Clerk. The unapproved minor subdivision applications which comprise the overall action have remained inactive since 1989 pending additional information from the applicant, and completion of the SEQRA process. In January of 1989 our agency notified one of the applicants (Joseph Gazza) that we would not accept a 1984, Town-issued Negative Declaration for a 24ot portion of the overall Site as acceptable SEQRA compliance sufficient to warrant action by our agency, on what was then a 4- lot subdivision proposal on the same site. B. Water Quality Concern.q: Please be advised that test well data obtained in 11985 from the vicinity of the easternmost subdivision (SCTM #:1000-22-3-22) indicated high chloride concentrations. Potability of water on this portion of the site has not yet been determined. Additional well sampling data will be required prior to further action. The overall site development map recently coordinated with our agency hndicates what appears to be a proposed community water supply system to serve the eastenunost subdivision. Our records do not indicate any such proposal before our agency. The DEIS for the overall action should provide Letter to Valerie Scopaz January 24, 1992 Page 3 design details, flow calculations, and water quality data for this aspect of the project. In addition, the applicant should make a formal revision to the application before our agency which includes this proposal so a technical review can be undertaken. C. Sanitary Code Provides for Clustered Subdivisions: Article 6 of the SCSC provides for the clustered development of realty subdivisions, in which one or more relatively undersized parcels is designed in such a manner as to allow a substantial unimproved portion of the tract to stand open and uninhabited. D. Lot Size Requirements for Clustered Subdivisions with Private Wells: In the event that the subject proposal is served by private wells, please be advised that lot sizes may be reduced to 20,000 sq ft and confoml to the water facilities requirements of Article 6 (providing the project conforms to the appropriate equivalent density, and meets all required setbacks, and separation distances for the installation of subsurface sewage disposal and water supply facilities). Lot size reductions can often provide valuable mitigation for potential natural resources impacts associated with large-lot development. E. SCDHS Compliance Requirements and Jurisdiction. The applicant must comply with the requirements of the SCSC and all relevant construction standards for water supply and sewage disposal systems. Design and flow specifications, subsurface soil conditions, test well data, and complete site plan details are essential to the complete review of this project. These considerations are reviewed fully during the SCDHS application review. SCDHS maintains jurisdiction over the f'mal location of sewage disposal and water supply systems. The applicant, therefore, should not undertake the construction of either system without Health Department approval. H. NATURAL RESOURCES A. General Comments: The overall project site is located in a sensitive and scenic area which has been recognized as a Town and County-designated Critical Environmental Area, and as a Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat (Orient Harbor Extension) by the New York State Department of State. Staff from the Office of Ecology have conducted a field inspection of the overall project site and believe that approximately two-thirds of the property is valuable as a tract of increasingly scarce coastal habitat. The hnportance of this site's natural resources value is underscored by its proximity to the adjacent Cove Beach property which contains a significant tract of mature oak woodland. We believe that the transition between the subject site's successional habitat and mature woodlands to the west increase the site's overall terrestrial habitat value by providing vertical and horizontal vegetative diversity and a related diversity of wildlife habitat. It is our understanding that the development design for the Letter to Valerie Scopaz January 24, 1992 Page 4 Cove Beach parcel will provide for meaningful oak woodland protection in the vicinity of the subject parcel's northwestern perhneter. B. Proposed Development Design: The "grid" style lot configuration proposed by the applicant should be redesigned to minimize potential impacts to the site's numerous and sensitive natural resources which include regulated tidal wetlands, Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat resources, visual resources, and limited drinking water supply. In addition, the overall site development will require the expansion of an existing fama road to traverse Town and State-regulated tidal wetlands. Roadway expansion onto the northern portion of the site will likely result in erosion, sedimentation, and possibly the direct elimination of regulated tidal wetlands. In the long term, this roadway will likely channel stormwater runoff and its associated contaminants into the wetlands and surface waters of Dam Pond. As designed, the proposed residemial lots do not appear to provide for limited clearing restrictions which would help prevent the proliferation of fertilizer-dependant turf and its associated potential impacts on ground and surface waters. We are also concerned that the lack of stringent clearing restrictions will heighten the visual knpacts associated with the development of this parcel. Detailed roadway construction and drainage details should be required as pan of the DEIS so that potential impacts to the site's natm'al resources can be responsibly evaluated. Also, a visual impact assessment should be conducted to examine the potential visual resource degradation associated with the proposed action. We are particularly concerned with long-term post- developmem impacts which could be seen from Main Road (NYS Rte. 25). C. Alternative Cluster Conf'~uration: We encourage the Town to require consideration of the enclosed duster plan as a development altemative in the DEIS. We believe this altemative offers significant natural resources protection and maintains lot sizes consistent with the surrom~ding area. This development alternative provides protection for more than 20 acres of undeveloped coastal habitat, elhninates the need for road construction across regtdated tidal wetlands, and would preserve the scenic vista wlfich can be seen from Route 25. In addition, this project design would confine development to areas of the site which are least susceptible to coastal erosion hazards and flooding, and which also appear to have better water quality (based on prior sampling data). Letter to Valerie Scopaz Januat3, 24, 1992 Page 5 Also, we believe that when the proposed open space is considered in combination with the protected lands of the adjacent Cove Beach property, the overall value of the subject dedication is significantly increased. The Town may wish to consider the possible public benefits of having proposed open space dedications transferred to the Town or a suitable land stewardship organization for long-term protection and lhnited public access opportunities (small boat launch, interpretive trails, shell and fhffishing access, etc.). At a minhnum, our agency strongly encourages that protected open space be retained in its natural state, and that no construction, excavation or filling be permitted in these areas. Open space covenants and restrictions should state clearly that such areas are intended for passive (non- motorized) recreational use and that they may not be subsequently converted to active recreational or community use (ball fields, hnpervious parking, tennis comus etc.) in the future, D. Indigenous Vegetation: hadigenous vegetation should be used wherever possible in the landscaping of this project. Such vegetation is well suited to the on-site soils and can provide valuable mitigation in reclahnhig disturbed portions of the site. E. Low Impact Recharge Areas and On-Site Soils Protection: In ma effort to reduce potential impacts to indigenous vegetation, wildlife habitat, on-site topography and unconsolidated soils, we encourage consideration of recharge areas which require minimal excavation mad structural modification. Also, we encourage careful monitoring of any project which requires the creation of large recharge basins, which we believe, have the potential to become unregulated "borrow pits" or "sand n~es" during the developmem phase of a project. F. General Erosion Control Measures: Leaching pools installed along the project's proposed roadway are likely to fill rapidly with unconsolidated sediments during construction phases of the project providing limited long-term, stormwater control benefits. We request that the Town require a clean-out of these facilities during and after the majority of the site's development. Furthermore, we encourage the periodic maintenance of all such facilities on the project site. In order to minimize off-site erosion and siltation, we recommend the stabilization of all construction access points with a 50 foot long crashed stone bed (minhnum depth of 6 inches), underlain with a commercial filter cloth. Letter to Valerie Scopaz January 24, 1992 Page 6 G. Clearing and Managed Turf Restrictions: We strongly support the imposition of clearing and managed tuff restrictions on individual lots which can provide for greater protection of native vegetation, wildlife habitat, and reduce the potential for areas of fertilizer-dependant turf. ~I. SUMMARY: Based on the material reviewed, we believe that the proposed action will have negative environmental effects of significant magnitude and importance to require the preparation of a DEIS. Only a DEIS can provide for the level of necessary detail required to assess the above-mentioned issues. We believe meaningful discussion of alternative actions which minimize potential negative impacts is essential to this process, mad we strongly encourage the Town to require detailed discussion of reasonable altematives.

Additionally, this Board would like to go on record as opposed to the road or bridge or similar structure shown over Town Trustee land between the Andrew Lettieri and Joseph Gazza parcels. As in the case of Wade Vs. the Town Trustees, we are not inclined to permit any exclusive easement over Trustee owned underwater lands and wetlands. This item is not negotiable. ~The Board discussed this at some length during our January 16, 1992 work session and will prepare a formal resolution reflecting this consensus should you or the developer(s) request it. The Trustees will, however, not oppose reasonable uses such as catwalk ramp and float assemblies for individual or community use for small vessels or to bridge wetlands for access by foot. Since the wetlands have previously been delineated by the NYSDEC we are asking that Bruce Anderson, our environmental Consultant, confirm their accuracy. Provided the wetlands are properly designated, we may not require an additional natural resource review from Mr. Anderson should your Board retain its consultant for purpose of a review of the LEAF. Owing to the sensitive nature of this area, we would request that all buildings be located greater than 75' landward of the accepted wetland line and that the most stringent land use practices be encouraged though C & R's. This Board will be interested in participating in any scoping session should one be necessary. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. cc: Bruce Anderson PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Chairman George Ritchie Latham, Jr. Richard G. Ward Mark S. McDonald Kenneth L.
