HARRIS Town Hall 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1 I79 Southold, New York 11971 The Southold Town Trustees wish to offer the following comments with respect to the Appendix to the L.E.A.F. of B. Laing Associates in this matter: 1. Although the L.E.A.F. details the need for a local wetland permit, the introduction fails to identify the need for a tidal wetlands permit under Chapter 97 for all activities within 75' of all wetlands to a depth of 5' below mean low water. 2. The Trustees believe that insufficient information has been presented to properly assess the wetland impact(s), if any, associated with the need to improve the access road North of the Southerly 1,500 feet. Since the degree of road development may be directly affected by the discretionary opinion or judgement of the Planning Board and or other regulatory and safety agencies, the applicant should receive some guidance in this area in establishing levels of potential impact. As it would seem that construction of a road of standard width would entail the alteration of freshwater wetlands, this issues may create a ..pivotal threshold requiring a positive declaration pursuant to SEQRA. The Trustees feel every opportunity should be given the applicant to improve the existing road bed without requiring alteration of freshwater wetlands. 3. As the Trustees actively participated in the state designation of the easterly section of Conklins Point as a significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat they request a more detailed account of the plans for community area "H". Given that most lots within the subdivision will afford quality swimming, this impact could be eliminated by dedicating this area for limited use on a timetable created by the regulatory agency with most experience in these matters, the NYSDEC. 4. The Trustees feel that the mooring plans for the northerly most basin, "Sage Basin" should be detailed or eliminated. Elimination of any mooring here would eliminate another potential SEQRA threshold as the Board believes the Southerly basin is large enough to accommodate the boating needs of this subdivision. The Southerly most basin should be laid out to show that it in fact will accommodate a vessel for each lot, if that is what is sought. 5. As this project relies on development closer to the Phragmitic pond On lots 3 and 4 than discussed on pre-submission, this pond should be fully characterized as to depth, soils, Flora, Fauna and water quality. Is this pond vernal? Does it support biological activity which would be impacted bydevelopment? Does any impact to the pond relate to the significant Coastal fish and wildlife area? With respect to this issue the Board has authorized its consultant Bruce Anderson to review these issues with a charge back to the developer at the prevailing SEQRA rate should the developer elect. In any case, we would request any report on this be made for our review prior to a SEQRA determination in this matter. 6. The Trustees believe that this is an environmentally responsible project and would suqgest that the developer commence linkages with the Nature Conservancy, Peconic Land Trust, Ducks Unlimited or similar conservation entity to help steward the land preservation aspects of this proposal and,allay the fears of the N.F.E.C. and others. We do however believe that the concerns of John Raynor and this Board should be fully addressed, so as to develop a legal basis for any SEQRA determination.

N.Y. 12231-0001 February 19, 1992 S-92-010 Lead Agency Status for SEQRA Coordination - Harbor View Landing Subdivision Dear Mr. Orlowski: Thank you for your letters of January 21, 1992 regarding your request for comments on the designation of the Town of Southold Planning Board as lead agency under SEQRA for the above-referenced proposals. The Department of State has no objections to the Town of Southold Planning Board assuming lead agency responsibility for this project. We do, however, have some comments and questions on several items pertaining to the proposed subdivision: The easternmost finger of land (approximately 1.5 acres) is proposed as Homeowner's Association "open space" according to Part "A" of the sketch plan. This finger of land is located within the boundaries of the designated Conkling Point significant coastal fish and wildlife habitat. Intensive use of this open space should be discouraged in order to minimize impacts to nesting activities of colonial wa=er birds in the area, particularly least'terns and piping plovers. 2) Due to the likelihood that existing dock structures will be modified through replacement, repair or reconf£guration, a Corps of Engineers approval for this 'in-water work may be necessary. The listing of permitting agencies on page 2 of the repor5 should be revised to reflect this aunhorization. 3) How will public access alon] the shoreline of the property be affected by this proposed prcject? The ownership o~ underwater lands au this site should be established. An opportunity =o enhance or develop public access may be possible via this proposal. This opportunity should be addressed. Mr. Bennett O~lowski, Jr. February 19, 1992 Page 2 4) Page 5 of the report states that two commercial fishing vessels used this site prior to purchase by the current owner. Did these displaced vessels relocate to another location? Will this loss of commercial fishing activity be compensated? Will provisions be made to provide continued space at this site for commercial fishing activities? What impacts will the proposed dock modification and use have on State water quality classifications and existing shellfish beds at and near the site? Will all non-point runoff be contained on-site? More detailed plans should be prepared showing how this concern will be addressed. 6) Several of the 10 properties shown on sketch plan "A" have building envelopes that are apparently large enough to allow further setback of the proposed residences from Southold Bay. To minimize any effects on the visual quality of the shoreline and water quality in Southold Bay, these residences should be located as far from the waterfront as possible. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please call Mike Corey at (518) 474-6000 if there are any questions. Sincerely, ~illiam F. B~rton .

Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Re: LEAF Review - Harbor View Landing Dear Mr. Orlowski: We have reviewed the materials fo~arded to us by the Planning Department and have the following questions and comments: In general, the LEAF provides sufficient information and analysis of the environmental factors which relate to the proposed action, being the elimination of 31 sub-standard seasonal cottages and septic systems, the re-alignment of Sage Boulevard and the creation of 10 single family residential lots. This should lessen on-site environmental impacts and have an overall positive effect. However, there are several questions that need to be answered prior to a SEQRA determination by the Planning Board. General Comments: The LEAF makes a point, used in the various analyses, that the houses will be designed in such a way as to attract "empty nesters". In this way, additional children are limited, which would tend to lessen some impacts, especially the impact to the local school system. Our experience is that while thi¢ is a fine concept, it may be difficult to put into practice or to assure the result. cannot be enforced by the Town, and the present developer may not be the ultimate builder. As the lots may become available for sale upon the filing of the subdivision map, this "empty nester" analys~s is not recommended. Similarly, the idea that these will be second :homes is also invalid for this analysis. Any part of the LEAF which relies on these concepts should be revised. While most of the prc.3osed development takes place in already disturbed areas, the subject parcel lies within an area designated as both an "Area of Intensive Aboriginal Habital" by the Suffolk County Archaeological Association and as having Multiole Site Sensitivity by NYS. The LEAF discusses the issue of the site's ootential archaeological sensitivity in some detail and proposes lhat "one month prior to roadway construction, the cottage and proposed ¢oad bed 14, areas demonstrating higher test recovery of artifacts will be thoroughly excavated." The applicants are aware that they will need both Tidal and Freshwater Wetland Permits from the N.Y.S.D.E.C. Recently this agency has been requiring archaeological studies during the permit process. As Lead Agency, the Planning Board may want to consider asking the applicant to prepare an Archaeological Study at this time. We do not recommend allowing for ,archaeological excavation prior to construction", unless more information is submitted and both the applicant and the Board agree on a future course of action in the event significant artifacts are uncovered. The source of the information which is contained in the report is not mentioned, and should be noted. If an archaeological study has aIready been done by a qualified firm, it should be submitted in total. Stormwater runoff generated by the proposed project is to be collected in catch basins and piped to a series of leaching pools for recharge. Potential over[iow is to be piped to a "Drainage Pond" which is located about 40' away from a freshwater wetland. Steps should be taken to avoid possible ovedlow with its attendent siltation & sedimentation, into the wetlands. Also, with such shallow depth to groundwater, wilI the drainage pond have enough capacity? The LEAF makes no mention of how the debris created by the demolition of 31 cottages, the removal of existing sanitary systems and the re-alignment of Sage Boulevard will be disposed of. In order to avoid disturbance to a pocket of freshwater wetlands, vehicular access to lot 4 is proposed via a r.o.w, that crosses lot 5. However, the proposed drive is located only about 5' from the edge of the wetlands. The Board may wish to explore the possibility of using the driveway for lot 5 as a common driveway. This would eliminate the need for an additional driveway so close to the wetlands. Similar concerns exist for lots 2 & 3. We note that Sage Boulevard is presently a private road. In the letter from the Police Chief, he states that since this is a private road, in the event of severe storms, etc., "it wouId not be possible to service the area". The LEAF itself does not indicate whether the road will be offered for dedication to the Town. In the general description of the project (p. 1), the report states "The existing roadway would be reconstructed for only its most southerly 1,500 linear feet or 0.90 acres". On page 5, it further states "This system" (the road) would occupy 0.90 acres and be desianed as a private road". However, the Subdivision Sketch Plan (Sl, Pad "A") contains a note that Sage Blvd. & Sage Court are to be offered for dedication to the Town for highway purposes. The proposed improvement of all pads of Sage Boulevard must be clarified. The "Halt Road Section" on Sheet S1 shows a 24' wide pavement section with curbing, which would meet Town of Southold standards. It is unclear exactly where this would apply, however we would assume that it would only apply to the realigned section. This leads to a question as to what improvements are proposed, if any, for the remaining podion of the roadway. Wedo not believe that the westerly section of Sage Boulevard would be acceptable in its present condition (narrow pavement, with many potholes). We strongly recommend that the Planning Board explore this issue with the applicants with an eye towards the future use and disposition of Sage Boulevard. Our experience is that while private roads are initially perceived as a benefit to the developer and the future owners, in the long term a majority of owners on such private roads oa~ for public control and maiatenance. When that comes up, a special tax assessment district is called for to raise the funds needed for the road improvement to allow it to be accepted into the Town's highway system. -3- We do not believe that the Planning Board can demand that the roads be dedicated to the Town. However, they can require that the road be improved to Town specifications, and in some cases a Conditional Offer of Dedication has been requested along with an on-going maintenance bond to bring the road up to Town specs if the maintenance is lacking in the future; With these measures in place, a Town Law 200 (Road !mprovement Special Tax Assessment District) may be avoided in the future. We would further recommend that due to the length of mad involved, the Town discuss some narrowing of the pavement width for some portion of the roadway while still providing suitable width for Town acceptance. We would view the public control of this road as a positive impact, noting that it would alleviate another sub-standard condition and allow for full snow removal and improved access for police and other emergency services. Upon reviewing this proposal with the pending application of "Bay View Heights" we find that the proposed road alignment for the reconstructed portion of Sage Blvd. is acceptable, wittl enough "leeway" to allow for adjustment by the Planning Board to coordinate the potential road connection. The LEAF states that this properly is in a flood zone but not a floodway which would exoerience velocity storm surges. In order that the future residents receive proper protection in the event of a storm, ali houses have to be constructed according [o certain s[andards designed to minimize storm damage. Minimum first floor elevations must be met, and sanitary sys[ems must be elevated above groundwater. In addition to the flood zone construction standards and SCDHS regulations, we recommend; a). The profile for the proposed road should be designed with par[icular sensitivity to the possibility of flooding bi. That detailed road clans be submitted showing all grading and fill needed, to analyse the impact on the wetlands. That detailed grading plans be required for all lots pdor to cons[ruction showing all proposed grading and fill, sanitary systems, all structures, retaining walls and any other proposed site improvement. 9. Various measures are outlined to mitigate potential adverse effects on wetlands and surface waters such as the placement of hay bales along newly disturbed areas during road construction. To assure that such mitigation measures are carried through to the final approval, the applicant and their consultant such submit a listing to the Planning Board of such measures and their purpose, so that the Planning Board may incorporate them into any SEQRA decision and subsequent approvals (hay bales, iow maintenance vegetation, e[c.). 10. It is noted that both of the prol~osed watedront homeowners parcels (A & I), which are slated for common area / recreation use have wetlands along the water. The imoacts of any proposed use of either parcel must be identified. It is not enough to say that there are no plans tor facilities on these oarceis. In addition, the total number of moorings, docks and piers should be clarified. It appears that the numbers of boats to be docked would be reduced by 2, but the additional dock spaces is not clear. 11 On page 56, the LEAF talks about a 75' wide wetland buffer along Southold Bay, an additional buffer where nc 'lo currently exists. Onl/Iow maintenance vegetation is to be allowed. It Should be noted that the area along the bay on most of the lots is bu]kheaded, and not wetlands. Therefore, the value as a wetland buffer area is questionable. 12. The access to the small triangular beach area, designated as "Homeowner's Association Pamel H" (next to lot 10) has only a five toot wide access strip. Under normal conditions, we would not recommend an access width of less than ten feet. In this case, the area along the property line is vegetated. Therefore, we recommend a narrowing of access strips for Lots nine and ten to allow for a 15 foot wide strip to the HCA parcel. 13. Homeowners Association Pamel "F" is 8.715 acres of Underwater Land. The sketch plan provides no upland access to the parcel. The intended use of the parcel is unclear. Is it possible for this parcel to be sold by the HCA to an adjacent property owner who may be interested in constructing or expanding a marina facility? Since it is adjacent to HQA Parcel "I", we would recommend that it be approved as one parcel unless the applicant presents some compelling reason otherwise. Misc. Comments: The areas shown on the proposed "Subdivision Sketch Plan" do not add up to either the Total Area shown in the Site Data Table or that mentioned in the LEAF. (83.409 acres vs 83.117 acres) The LEAF notes that 57.247 acres of the site will be left es "Open Space". The sketch plan denotes three parcels, Home Owners Association Parcels "B", "D" and "G", as being open space. The total of these parcels is 46.734 acres. All but one of the remaining HCA Parcels are to be used either for recreational purposes orthe proposed re-aligned Sage BouIevard. If indeed omy 46.734 acres of the site is to be left in Open Space, the LEAF should be.revised. o The LEAF states on page one that the subdivision is limited to 21.1 acres. On page three the document states that development would occur on 22.0 acres. According To a statement on page 6, the residential area is 22.1 acres. Addition of the lot areas (16.25 acres), the right-of- way (4.5 acres) and the drainage area (1.9 acres] results in a total of 22.65 acres. The LEAF should be revised to reflect the actual total. Aisc, should the areas of the HCA parcels that will be retained for recreational purposes / boat moorings be included in this figure? The LEAF states that there are several areas to be deeded to the Town as permanent open space, and the map contains a note that HCA parcels E~, D & G are offered to the Town. The notation that these are HCA parcels is somewhat misleading. hope this information s of value to you in your SEQRA review. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.

Box 1179 $outhold, NY 11971 Re: S-92-010 Lead Agency Status for sEQRA coordination - Harbor View Landing subdivision Dear Mr. orlowski: Thank you for your letters of January 21, 1992 regarding your request for comments on the designation of the Town of southOld planning Board as lead agency under SEQRA for the above-referenced proposals- The Department of state has no objectiOnS to the Town of southold Planning Board assuming lead agency responsibility for this project. We dot however, have some comments and questions on several ~tems pertaining to the proposed subdivision: 1) The easternmost finger of land {approximately 1.5 acreS) is proposed as plan. ThiS finger of land Ls located within the boundaries of the designated conkling Point significant coastal fish and wildlife habitat. intensive use of this ope~ space should be discouraged in order to minimize impacts to nesting astLvities of colonial water birds in the area, particularly least' terns and piping plovers. 2) Due to the likelihood that existing dock structures will be modified through replacement, repair or reconfiguration, a Corps of Engineers approval for this L~-water work may be necessary- The listing of permitting agencies on page 2 of the cepor~ should b~ revised to re~lecu this authorization- 3) How will public access along the shoreline of the property be affected by this proposed project? The ownership of underwater lands a~ this site should be established- An opportunLtY ~o enhanCe or develop public access may be possible via this proposal- ~his opportunity should be addressed. Mr. Bennett Orlowski, Jr. February 19, 1992 Page 2 4) 5) 6) Page 5 of the report states that two commercial fishing vessels used this site prior to purchase by the current owner. Did these displaced vessels relocate to another location? Will this loss of commercial fishing activity be compensated? Will provisions be made to provide continued space at this site for commercial fishing activities? What impacts will the proposed dock modification and use have on State water quality classifications and existing shellfish beds at and near the site? Will all non-point runoff be contained on-site? More detailed plans should be prepared showing how this concern will be addressed. Several of the 10 properties shown on sketch plan '~A" have building envelopes that are apparently large enough to allow further setback of the proposed residences from Southold Bay. TO minimize any effects on the visual quality of the shoreline and water quality in Southold Bay, these residences should be located as far from the waterfront as possible. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please call Mike Corey at (518) 474-6000 if there are any questions.

Quite frankly, I don't see how it is possible for you to do otherwise. A conditioned negative declaration cannot be used because this is a Type I action and to issue a negative declaration would be wrong when so many areas of environmental concern associated with the project have been identified. Some of the areas that we are most concerned about are the rare and endangered species that utilize the site. Conklin Point has been designated as a Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat by the Department of State. Additionally, we are concerned about Sage Boulevard. The right-of-way extends through the significant freshwater wetlands which are found in the northerly section of the site. It is proposed that the road be dedicated to the Town of Southold. In order for this to happen the entire roadway, all 3,760 feet, .must meet town highway specifications which would mea~ tripling its current width and adding a drainage system. This means that some wetlands will be filled in. While we feel that it may be desirable to improve Sage Blvd., we also feel that we should know upfront how many acres of wetlands will be involved and how the drainage system will be built. We feel that improving the road should be the responsibility of the applicant and not become a burden to the taxpayers at a later date. The third area of concern extends to the proposal to use Sage Basin for boat mooring. The fUture homeowner's will have access to the water for recreation, docking and mooring from Area D which is a 1.29 acre site that includes an already disturbed bulkheaded area. The need to also use Sage Cove should be carefully examined and perhaps eliminated from the plan. a non-profi~ organization for the preservation of land, sea, air and qualit~ of life printed on 100% recycled paper I would like to suggest that a Positive Declaration be given for this project and that a narrowly scoped DEIS be prepared on the three issues that I have outlined above. Of course any other concerns that the Planning Board should have could also be addressed. Thank you for the opportunity to state our concerns. that they will be considered.

HARRIS Supervisor Town Hall, 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Fax (516) 765~1823 TOWN SOUTHOLI) Attached is a copy of the map dated September 5, 1991 for the above mentioned subdivision proposal. The application materials for this subdivision, including a Long Environmental Assessment Form and an appendix to the LEAF, were submitted to this office on September 11, 1991. The current application is for a 10 lot subdivision. It is my understanding that theTrustees previously reviewed a map, at the request of the applicant, for a 7 lot subdivision. The Planning Board will be starting the Lead Agency coordination process for this application at their September 30, 1991, public meeting. The LEAF and appendix will be forwarded to your office when this process begins. However, at this time, the Planning Board requests your review of the map. The Planning Board is concerned in particular with the following: The setbacks from the wetlands, which are shown as being fifty (50) feet, rather than the usual seventy-five (75) feet. This includes the setbacks for the proposed road, dwellings and driveways. The applicant proposes several areas for recreation and boat moorings, one of which is shown as being located on underwater land owned by the applicant. What is the procedure/jurisdiction for the proposed boat moorings? Page 2 Harbor View Landing September 25~ 1991 By way of background~ the applicant intends to dedicate most of the open space/wetlands to the Town, Land Trust, or similar entity, to remain as open space. The applicant has divided the open space area throughout the property into different parcels. As indicated on the map, some of these areas will be offered for dedication to the Town or similar group, and the remainderwili be owned by a Homwowner's Association. Please consider whether the Town should accept th~ offer to dedicate any one of these parcels. The Planning Board awaits your Board's review of the map before proceeding with sketch approval. Pleasecontact Melissa Spiro of this office if you have any questions or require any additional information. TRUSTEES John M. Bredemeyer. III. Presidem Henry P. Smi~. Vice Presidem Albert J. Krupski.

Laing Associates 260 Main Street Northport, NY 11768 RE: Sage Property Dear Mr. Bontge: With respect to the Board of Trustees field survey of May 17, 1990 wherein we walked the Sage Property with yourself and associates, please be advised: 1. The Southold Trustees have no objection to using the wetland line determinations as set forth on our field survey this date for those Freshwater Wetlands lying south of the home- owners association called parcel "A". If a more restrictive/protective Freshwater Wetland line is developed by the N.YoS.D.E.C., it should be used in any submission for a Trustee's permit. 2. Plans for the homeowners association parcel "A" as far as boat dockage, etc. should be considered in the application to the Trustees for a wetland permit. Please contact this office prior to any submission in this area. 3. Homeowners open space "bathing area" should be reviewed for colonial shorebird use/nesting by the N.Y.S.D.E.C. or in a manner acceptable to the NYSDEC as to permit its use as the intended community bathing area. Please call if the Trustees may assist in this review. 4. Some thought might be g~ven to creating a low (2'-3' high) berm as an extension of the driveways on lots 5 and 6 to create a natural feature as a barrier to conventional lawn areas. It is likely the Trustees will request C & Rs for all areas within 75' of Freshwater Wetlands in perpetuity, and vegetative/low fertilization buffers for all lots within 75' of Tidal wetlands. All areas bounded by driveway, road and hopefully berm, surrounding the Freshwater Wetland on lots 5 and 6, shall likely be left in the natural state by C & R in perpetuity. 5. Unfortunately, your pre-submission conference to the Department Heads pre-dated some new procedures we have, and I forgot to mention the need for our Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) review. You may wish to schedule a pre-submission meeting with them for their input. The Southold Town CAC is required for advisory input on all wetland projects. They may be reached at 765-1801 X 210. Ask for Linda Cooper. 6. Mutually agreeable language will be sought to protect any permissions granted from unnecessary opinion chopping or re-visiting an the future.

Laing Associates 260 Main Street Northport, New York 11768 Re: Proposed Application of Harbor View Landing SCTM % 1000-053-05-8, 12.3, and 12.4 Dear Mr. Bontje, The Planning Board reviewed your presubmission proposal of April 11, 1990, which would result in the creation of seven residential building lots on 83+ acres. On behalf of your client, you had asked this Board to outline what additional information should be provided with the application. As you are aware, this property is environmentally sensitive. The Planning Board has particular concerns, which should be addressed in the long environmental assessment form and in the supporting documentation. These concerns are as follows: Soil composition. Include test hole boring data. Indicate distance between proposed septic systems and all surface waters, including freshwater wetlands. e Nitrate loading. Indicate what degree of nitrate loading can be expected to result from the installation of seven septic systems. Grading. Indicate to what extent the existing grade will be changed in order to comply with federal flood insurance standards. Wetlands. Flag all wetlands in field before submitting preliminary maps. (The wetlands line will be verified by the Conservation Advisory Council, the Board of Trustees and the State Department of Environmental Conservation. You will be notified in writing as to whether these agencies agree with your wetlands determination.) Indicate whether any regrading or construction will occur within 75' of freshwater wetlands, saltwater wetlands, and the bulkhead. Boats. The proposed use of the existing small boat docks should be detailed. How many boats do you envision using this facility? What size vessels do you anticipate using this facility? Indicate if any dredging, reconfiguration of the shoreline, new bulkheading, replacement bulkheading, an~ construction of new docks are being proposed. Open Space. Indicate who would own and maintain the open space, including the boat docking facility. Road Profiles. Upgrading of the road will require permits from the Board of Trustees and the State Department of Environmental Conservation. Provide details of the proposed construction, particularly with regard to drainage and grading. Water Supply. Will the existing water supply from Greenport be of sufficient quantity for the proposed project? Archeotogical Resources. Indicate if any such resources will be impacted by the proposed project. Please provide the above-noted information as part of your long environmental assessment form and your preliminary application. This listing of information that the Board wants to submitted with the application is not final. The Board reserves the right to request more information as part of the State-mandated coordinated environmental review and as part of the subdivision review. Upon receipt of a completed application form, application fee, long environmental assessment form and preliminary subdivision maps, the Planning Board will initiate the subdivision and environmental review process.
