PUBLIC HEARING
Vice-Chairman Rich: 6:01 p.m. - Paul's Lane & Leon Petroleum Resubdivision —
This resubdivision application proposes to transfer 31,914 sq. ft. from SCTM#1000-74.-
4-5 to SCTM#1 000-74.-4-7.1. Lot 5 (Parcel 1) will decrease in area from 2.7 acres to
1.9 acres, and Lot 7.1 (Parcel 2), will increase in area from 0.8 acres to 1.5 acres.
Parcel 1 will be entirely in the B zoning district. Parcel 2 will consist of 50,938 sq. ft. of
B-zoning, and 15,000 sq. ft. of LB-zoning. The property is located at the western corner
of the intersection of Paul's Lane and CR 48, Peconic. SCTM#1000-74-4-5 & 7.1
At this time, I'd like to ask Pat Moore to speak on behalf of the applicant?
Patricia Moore: Yes, I am. Good Evening, Patricia Moore, on behalf of both the
applicant, Leon Petroleum as well as 420 Paul's Lane, LLC. They're both here applying
for a lot line modification. It's asyou described it. The smaller parcel has the gas station
on it and this additional land will make for a larger, more conforming parcel all within the
LB zoning. As you recall, there had been an application prior for the larger property to
redevelop the piece adjacent to this gas station and the parties agreed for a transfer of
the additional land in order to maintain two clean and distinct separate parcels. So, our
application is before you, we have a health department application pending and they are
waiting for their SEQRA determination so if you could provide that at some point, we
can complete the process with the health department. Thank you. Are there any
questions?
Vice-Chairman Rich: Well, I do have to ask: is there anybody that would like to
address the Planning Board on this application? Do we have anybody on Zoom?
(No Response)
Does the Planning Board have any questions?
Mia Jealous-Dank: No.
Pierce Rafferty: No.
Vice-Chairman Rich: Thank you.
Mia Jealous-Dank: I move that we close this hearing.
Pierce Rafferty: Second.

HEARING HELD OVER
Vice-Chairman Rich: Arrow Horse Farm —This agricultural site plan is for the
proposed construction of an 8,064 sq. ft. building for the keeping, breeding, raising and
training of horses with eighteen stalls and no basement; an 1,800 sq. ft, agricultural
storage building, two 240 sq. ft. run-in sheds with supporting parking and driveway
access on ±17.02 acres with,Southold Town Development Rights in the A-C/R-80
Zoning District. The property is located at 13945 Oregon Road, Cutchogue.
SCTM#1000-83-2-9.3
Are you here for this too, Pat?
Patricia Moore: Yes, I am. This is a continuation of the hearing and everyone has been
properly noticed at this point so I will accept and comments and respond if there are any
comments. I have with me here Scott Murphy who is the design professional so if there
(inaudible), we'll have Scotts take on it.
James H. Rich III: Anybody else?
Kevin O'Mara: I'm Kevin O'Mara, I'm one of the adjacent property owners. We just had
a question: on the site map that you have there, there are two run-in sheds in the
paddock and we've had some discussions with the owner about potentially moving
those. I mean, we wanted to confirm that—from the Planning Boards perspective —the
fact that they're shown there on the site plan is not permanent and that they are
movable agricultural structures which is our understanding but we wanted to make sure
that that was your understanding as well.
James H. Rich III: They're so small.
Kevin O'Mara: They're about 240 square feet.
James H. Rich III: Yeah, they're listed as 240 square feet. So, that's sort of a
(inaudible) question, I don't have an answer to.
Patricia Moore: So generally, Ag structures, because they are temporary, portable, in
particular they're 250 square foot running sheds. They will —we put them as an example
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — March 13, 2023 — Page 22
that we need them but they will ultimately go wherever the horses are and their position
change depends on the season. So, in the winter they have to face a certain direction to
keep the animals protected from the weather and in the summer they, obviously, have
to change the position and be in a different location for proper ventilation. So, the
running sheds are currently an example where they are presently but where they will
ultimately be will depend completely on the farming operation, where the horses are,
where the - you know—wherever is the best practice for the horses and where they
should be located. So, I just want to be clear, the Planning Board does not usually site
plan ag structures, that they are temporary, they are movable, and so ultimately where
they end up will be up to the owner and —
Jessica Michaelis: I have the owner on Zoom and she'd like to speak. Kathleen, I just
allowed you to speak, if you could just unmute and then you could state your name for
the record?
Kathleen Derose: Oh, hi, yeah, it's Kathleen Derose. Hi everybody and thank you
again for the Planning Board. I really appreciate the time and also the chance to join the
farming community. So, I'm happy to be neighborly about the location of these things.
They are just literally (inaudible) for keeping the horses out of the weather as Pat said
so, thanks very much for considering their movability and =you know— I'm happy to
work with neighbors to they're (inaudible).
(silence)
James H. Rich III: Thank you, what are they 12 by 20?
(silence)
Anyone else?
Jessica Michaelis: I don't know what happened. It's okay.
James H. Rich III: Okay, with this being a held over hearing —
Martin Sidor: I don't know if anybody else wants to speak, no?
Pat Moore: I'm sorry, if you don't have any questions regarding the design or any of the
(inaudible). I can answer questions but it's fine. I understand you're waiting for the
Cutchogue Fire Department to send their comments so I would ask that at a certain
point that if they don't respond that we just move forward so we can get that decision
and have the'horses there. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: I make a motion to close.
Mia Jealous-Dank: Second.
Vice-Chairman Rich: Motion made by Martin, seconded by Mia. Any discussion? All in
favor?
