At this time, if there is anyone who would like to address the Board on this application,
please step to the podium, write your name and state your name for the record before
addressing your comments to the Board.
Tom McCarthy: Good Evening, Tom McCarthy, McCarthy Management. I'm here for
the applicant and I'm happy to answer any questions. I don't have any new material to
present but I'm happy to answer any questions that the Board may have.
Jessica Michaelis: Do you have any green cards?
Tom McCarthy: I believe we do.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, while Tom is at the microphone, do any Board members
have any questions for Tom?
None
Pierce, you're good?
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —July 11, 2022 — Page 8
Pierce Rafferty: I'm good.
Chairman Wilcenski: Would anybody else like to address the Board? Yes, you can
step to that podium, state your name, write your name for the record and address your
comments to the Board.
James Cardwell: Hi, my name is James Cardwell. I'm a resident on Peconic Lane, I
live in the second house in from the corner so my house and my property straddles both
what will be residential office as well as the Light Industrial line there. And I guess part
of it is two things: obviously, I think that both these properties was originally set that
way. My property I think got sold into it a long, long time ago from the previous owners
and that kind of stuff and I think at that time it was established as Light Industrial and
Residential.
Chairman Wilcenski: Light Business.
James Cardwell: Oh, Light Business, okay, sorry. I think at that time, I mean,
everything has, obviously been sort of status quo for almost 15 years or more, but I
guess at that time, the vegetation was supposed to be maintained and to continue to
grow. Now with the Light Business, you know, there's trailers, there's boats there, now
there's a residential office and I have really no objection to the separation other than,
can they accommodate and provide some fencing at this time so that whatever is built
there and also for all the boats and trailers that now occupy the Light Business side,
which, originally was just for the landscaping business, to shield us so that we no longer
will see that in our future. I mean, is that something that can be done? Because we
don't really have much control over the types of businesses that are going to go there.
They're listed for Residential office but it could be a variety of things that we just don't
know, you know, how much impact is going in the future. And I just think that, you know,
a fence would provide some type of buffer and ability that we can, sort of, continue to
live without the impact of whatever goes on the premises.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, we can address that with the applicant.
James Cardwell: Okay, so that's not something that can be required of him, or, you
know?
Chairman Wilcenski: At this point, we'd have to have staff and the Board look at your
concerns.
James Cardwell: Just because this time, I mean, there —even with the Light Business
—the boats and the trailers and those things are closer than what they're supposed to
be. The maintenance of the property, as is, hasn't been maintained in accordance with
Light Business and Residential Office. So that is our concern, that in the future, we can't
control it so we'd like to be able to control it now.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, well that's what this public hearing is for. To bring this up
from neighbors and whoever else. So that will be addressed.
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —July 11, 2022 — Page 9
James Cardwell: Thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Is there anybody else who has any questions or
would like to address the Board on Peconic Onwego?
Denis Coiervski: Yeah, my name is Denis Cojervski. I'm a former member of Peconic
Lane and (inaudible). I have no objection to this subdivision, I would be very happy if a
single-family house went up there, I would be probably less happy if a real estate office
or another type of office went in. I would hope that-obviously—there's no way of
knowing what a prospective buyer might want to put there and I would hope that the
Board would pay attention to Section D that says: "All permitted buildings and other
structures shall be visually residential in character, the visible architectural features of
which shall be consistent and compatible with the architecture styles of the existing
structures in the immediate neighborhood." So, my house was originally built in 1791, 1
don't expect them to build something that looks like 1791, but I would not like to see an
ultra-modern real estate office go into that area. That's my feelings on this. So, no
objection to the subdivision.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you for your comments. Anyone else? Anyone on Zoom?
Jessica Michaelis: If there is anyone on Zoom that would like to address the Board,
press *9 to raise your hand and I'll allow you to speak.
Chairman Wilcenski: Would anybody else like to address the Board? Any concerns?
Nothing.
James H. Rich III: Mr. Chairman, I understand there was an issue with the mailing and
green cards, so I make a motion to hold the hearing open until the next regularly
scheduled public meeting on August 8th
Martin Sidor: Second.
Chairman Wilcenski: We're going to leave the hearing open, as Jim suggested, until
August 8th because of the missing green card. Motion made by Martin, seconded by
Jim. Any discussion? All in favor?
Ayes.
Opposed?
None.
Motion carries.
Tom McCarthy: Chairman? Sorry, could we keep it open until the end of your
deliberations this evening if I go back to my office and get them, is that possible?
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —July 11, 2022 — Page 10
Chairman Wilcenski: Not tonight.
Tom McCarthy: August 8th sounds great!
Chairman Wilcenski: So, the meeting —just to be clear- for this application will be
open. We can take written comments and we will reopen the hearing on August 8th for
comments. Thank you.
Can I get a motion for adornment?
Matin Sidor: I'd like to make a motion for adjournment.
James H. Rich III: Second.
Chairman Wilcenski: Motion made by Martin, seconded by Jim. Any discussion? All in
favor?
Ayes.
Opposed?
None.

Respectfully submitted,
