Cron, Richard J. Amend.#116
156A Alvah's Lane Gutchogue, ~I.Y. 119)5 May ?, To the Sounhold Town Boards: After reveiwing the Seacroft project I noticed many misinterpreted facts the developers have filed. In the minutes from the Public hearing Feb. 1,1985 Mr. Cron mentioned the importance of going into some historical background on this application. Back in 197~ an application was made with respect to this same parcel for a change of zone from "A" ResiGential Agricultural no Multiple Redidence. Cron clamed their examination of the application found that the request of 296 units would not be in t~e best interest of Cutchogue. He refered %o the one fact on The Master Plan conception that there be no multiple residence between Matzituc~ and Southold, and this was supported by of the people. Thats arguement enough against a change of zone to M-1. He never once mentioned all the objections to the project. Registered at a public hearing held on April 23, 1974. Mr. Cron misrepresented facts on his EAF form received Feb. 22, 1983. Seacroft is planr~ing on a water pumping capacity of 220 gals/minute with a total useage or 32,000 gal/day. In the assessment form, significance is cor~sidered if there is a pumping capacity of greater than 45 gal/min., 20,000 gallons per/day. Obviously this will adversty affect the ground water. He checked no, tee project won't affect surface or ground water quality. He did not consider t~e impact an influx of a particular age group with special needs. He overlooked the fact that the Village in which the project is located is likely to grow by more than 5% of resident human population. Based on Lilco's population estimates for the Cutchogue, Uew S~ffolk Con~unity Page 2 of 2,803 people, it is evident that Seacroft, with its 160 units, will increase the population by more than 5~. Tais is a questionable judgment in the short assessment form. I have tried to speak against the project with a petition of 900 people. Mr. Cron opposed my right to speaK. Iv'e been informed by my attorney my rights were violated. One has the right to petition the Town Board up to the minute they decide as issue. It was illegal to return my petition. Why can so many serious things just be swept under the rug? Mr. Cron mentioned that there will be more than 36 acres of open space out of the total 47 acres. Id'e like to know where it exists? And how it can be farmed? His traffic analysis is based on the project being developed as an "adult community" with certain restrictions as to who may occupy the units [ at leaZs one adult over the age 55 in the family with a substantial number of retired persons and single person occupants, e.g. widows and widowers). At the night of the presubmission conference he lowered the age to 45 for people who wanted to retire earlier and there is no hard and fast rule as to minimum age whic~ could be reduced again. The traffic analysis was not based on this new plan. Traffi~romblems in that area could develop into a serious promblem and should not be taken lightley. A complete evvironmental impact form should be required. After reveiwing the report from Jonn J. Raynor, Civil Engineer, Feb. 1, 1983. Its apparent he assumed that a community water supply system for Seacroft would be established, and use the design sewage flows of the Suffolk County Dept. of Health Services for Senior Citizen units. Its obvious it isn't going to be a Senior Citizen community. An environmental impact form should be completed. Mr. Crons professional engineer stated in ~he Feb. 1 hearing how ~he Page 3 Seacroft property is located near the center of the nighest elevations of ground water on the North Fork. Its also true that Greenport already owns ground for pumping water on Alvah's Lane. WiTh the Brecknock Hall condo project being approved and many more developments pending, this Cutchogue dome of water could be drawn down quickly. We should concider water supply a very important priority. The developers claim Mr. ¥illa discussed the requirements relative to a Senior Citizen project, that they have a slightly different water use requirement for a Senior Citizen type development. And once again I remind you he's lowerin~ the age requirment so this information is all untrue for the new project. His facts given to the Suffolk County Dept. of Health Services are the Senior Citizen requirements. Also the sewage treatment system is based on the criteria for Senior Citizen housing. We must start thinking about the furture and water management program. ~othing was ever mentioned about lighting of this project. Will the lighting be brilliant and effect the surrounding areas? Why didn't this development Seacroft have to do an Enivornmental statement of the worst possible projects that could be built there, like the Dalchet zone change had to? There plans didn~ even have half the impact Seacroft could do. Seacroft is a mojor change to the town of Cutchogue and should not be taken lightly. I urge the Planning Board to require a full and comprehensive environmental review of the proposed development to help reduce the potential impact. I hope a public meeting will so the people may add in the design process be h~ld on this project to reduce the impact. Sinc erely, [.]ancy Sawastynowic z JLiDITI!

Pell, Supervisor Town of Southold Main Road Southold, New York 11971 Dear Supervisor Pell and Members of the Board: I have recently been made aware of an application by Richard CrOn, for a change of zone from A-Residential to M-Light Multiple Residence, on a 46 acre parcel at the north end of Griffing Avenue, Cutchogue. I would like to take this opportunity to express my ob- jections to this zone change and call your attention to the following: Considering density for a moment, the proposal calls for 160 units, four times the number of single-family residences that are permitted under present zoning. Further- more, the sizes of the units proposed range from 1200 to 2000 square feet, the size of many existing single-family residences in the Town. In my opinion, these are conside- rably larger than average "adult retirement community" units. Moreover, I am concerned that the older residents in favor of this development may not be aware that based on current construction costs, units of the size and calibre proposed, would ILave to market for $150,000 +, not to mention monthly maintenance, taxes and utilities. Is this truly a develop- ment within reach of the majority of Southold Town's retire- ment population looking for a viable economic alternative to single-family residences? The Town is presently having a ~faster Plan update pre- pared, the result of which may have substantial impact as to whether the zone change would be suitable to the proposed area. William B. Pell, Supervisor Page Two February 17, 1983 The Town Board, by petition of local residents, is also presently considering the enactment of a limited moratorium for further subdivisions in the Orient/East Marion area, until certain questions with regard to the effect of such increased development can be further studied. Inasmuch as the proposed zone change would permit a much higher den- sity than a subdivision, it would be much less desirable in the proposed location. If this change of zone were approved, we will be looking at a 40 building community, comprised of four single-family attached residences, in buildings of ap- proximately 6000 square feet each. Upon reviewing the above facts, it becomes apparent to me that this project may not necessarily be what it appears on the surface, nor as it has been presented. Consequently, I must take the stand of being in objection to the change of zone. GAS/b Very truly yours, Garrett A. Strang, R.A. PUBLIC HEARING SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD FEBRUARY 1, 1983 8:00 P.M.

I've got affidavits from the Editor of the Long Island Traveler- Watchman Patricia Wood, and from the Publisher of the Suffolk Times Troy Gustavson that the notice was printed in their paper. There are a couple of communications attached to the file. One from Bertha Kurczewski opposed to the rezoning. She is the owner of land adjacent to it. I have a letter from Walter R. Kaelin, who is the Secretary of the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce in favor of the proposal. There is a letter from John Berryman of the Greenport-Southold Chamber of Commerce in favor of the proposal. There is a letter from Henry E. Raynor, Jr., Chairman of the Planning Board recommending denial of the proposed change of zone of Richard J. Cron and they underlined that "This recommendation was made in view of the fact; that the Planning Board presented in the master plan the conception that there be no multiple residences between Mattituck and Southold and this was supported by 85% of tile people." There is a letter from Lee E. Koppelman, Director of the Suffolk County Department of Planning stating that, "Pursuant to Sections 1323 and 1332 of the Suffolk County Charter, the above referenced application (Richard J. Cron) is not within the jurisdiction of the Suffolk County Planning Commission." There is an affidavit by the Town Clerk Judith Terry that the Notice of Hearing was placed on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board at Town Hall. SUPERVISOR PELL: public notice. Cron. Thank you. You have heard At this time Town Board will the reading of the listen to Counsel RICHARD J. CRON, ATTORNEY, Cutchogue, New York: If it pleases [he Board, I'm here this evening on an application to effect a change of zone on a parcel situate just off Griffing Street in the hamlet of Cutchogue, from an "A" Residential area to an "M" Light Multiple Residence District. Before I proceed with the actual formal presentation, in the light of the fact that my name solely appears on the application, I think I would like to introduce to the Board and those present, the associates who are in this project with me. Page 3 - Public Hea~ _ng - Richard J. Cron Chang of Zone In this regard I'd like to introduce Mr. Joseph Nolan, who is a resident of New Suffolk, and also a business proprietor running the Nolan's Village Store in Cutchogue. I also have, this evening, present with us, Mr. Bill Carroll. Bill, of course, is also a Cutchogue resident and is associ~ed as an account executive with the Merrill-Lynch organization in Riverhead. Myself, together with Mr. Nolan and Mr. Carroll,constitufe the only people who are directly and indirectly or any other way interested in this projecT. As you can readily see, we're all local people, we're all vitally interested in the area of Cutchogue and the Town of Southold. I think it's also important that you be introduced to some of the people who will also speak this evening. I have with me Mr. Roy Haje--not necessarily in the order in which they will say something, but in The order in which I will introduce Them to you now. I have Mr. Roy Haje, who I'm sure the Board is mosf familiar with, having been a permit administrator wifh the DeparTment of Environmental Conservation for some time, and now with his own organization handling environmental matters. Mr. Boy Haje. We also have with us Mr. Joe Raynor, who probably also is well known to this Board, who is engaged in general engineering, water and sewage considerations. He too will speak this evening. Joe. I also have with us Mr. Donald Denis, who is the architect who will be designing this project, not only from the site locations, but as well as the specific units that are proposed within the site. Denis. And we also have with us a person who has done the traffic analysis with respect to the area in question, Mr. William McGrath of the firm of DMJH. Now, with those introductions made, I Think it's important that we go into some historical background on this application. The Board, or some of the members at least of This Board, will undoubtedly recall that back in 1974 an application was made with respect to this same parcel for a change of zone from "A" Residential-Agricultural To Multiple Residence. What was proposed at that time was also a senior citizen type of retirement community, so in a that the application at that lime sought a change of zone, it is similar fo the application that is being made here this evening. However, the similarity ends there, because the applications are quite dissimilar. The application that was made back in 1974 requested some 296 units. Our examination of the application found that this was not and would noi be in The best ~nterest of Cutchogue and the Town of Southold. So whea we examined this thing, with our experts, our main concern was to create something that would be aesthetically pleasing and at the same time economically feasible in terms of providing ~ great number of amenities. And the plan resolved itself into 160 units, which is what is proposed in this application. We believe that a 160 unit proposal will be economically feasible, will fit within the plans of the Town of Southold, and is located in such an area that it will be attractive to those who might be interested. Now, at the Time the first applica- tion was made to the Town Board, The Planning Board, of course, reviewed the application. And in their review they came up with the very same language in recommending a disapproval, as appears in the recommenda- tion of this Board (and when I say this Board I'm speaking of the Planning Board) to the Town Board. And, of course, the recommendation was as Mr. Townsend read it. This recommendation was made in view of the fact that the Planning Board presented in our Master Plan the conception That there be no multiple residences between Mattituck and Southold, and %his was supported by 85% of the people. Now, from a historical point of view I think it's important to note here that that recDanmendation is based upon the erroneous data, and to a great Page 4 - Public Hea. ag - Richard J. Cron Chang of Zone extent is misleading. The 85% of the people that that recommenda- tion refers fo was 85% of people at an information hearing in October of 1970. At that hearing there was 140 people present and if my recollection serves me correctly I was probably there myself. At the conclusion of that hearing, the Chairman of the Planning Board asked that group how many were in favor of the Master Plan. Out of that group 110 said they were in favor. So when this refers to 85% of the people approve this particular concept, that is totally incorrect, because 85% of the people of the Town of Southold did not do that in fact. Finally, and furthermore, the concept that no condominiums be placed between Mattituck and Southold was not discussed at that informational hearing. The area in question was probably set forth in the proposed Master Plan map. That map was never adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Southold. I'm sure the Board recalls that back in 1970, when the Master Plan was discussed and proposed by the Planning Board, that at that time it was intended to be a ten year plan to begin with. So that legitimately in validity, it would have expired ten years from the date of 1970 and the entire proposed Master Plan would then be reviewed by the Town as is now intended and is taking place, so that many of the thoughts and recommendations at that time would not necessarily have application 12-13 years down the line as we now stand here today. But even more important, the decision of the Planning Board back in 1974, where it recommended disapproval to the Town Board of that zone change, was based on data that was not correct, it was based upon a vote that allegedly took place dealing with the very thought as to whether a condominium project should exist between Mattituck and Southold. If you read through the informational hearing in 1970, no discussion ever took place on that point. As I say, where this was contained was in the map itself. And frankly, for what reason I do not understand, why the Planning Board would ever reach a conclusion that in the area of Cutchogue a condominium project is not feasible or acceptable, because within the scope of the development plan as it was presented by the Planning Board to the Town Board, specific reference was made to those areas in which it would be appropriate to have apartment or clustered or attached- type of bousing. And you know what that report said of the Planning Board in 1970--and I will also say what it said again in 1978 in a similar development plan for the Town of Southold--for the same language was used in its entirety in both situations? That Board said that the most suitable place for condominiums and attached housing, whether it be for senior citizens or otherwise, was adjacent to business areas, and I can think of no better location than the location that's proposed to this Board, as to where a proposal of this nature should be located, because not only is this adjacent to the entire business area of the hamlet of Cutchogue, it is in fact contiguous to it. So I can think of no better place. Now, I've looked at some of the other recommendations of the Planning Board as to where condominiums, not necessarily of this nature, but condominiums in general should be located, and frankly I haven't found one yet that meets the criteria of that Board and the previous Board as to where condominiums should be located. So, I think from that historical point of view it's important that the Board under- stands the recommendation of the Planning Board as basically being a nullity. It's not predicated on that data on which that Board made a decision. Not only that, you could argue that it's totally obsolete. It's predicated on a "decision" that was made in 1974 Page 5 - Public Hea,~ng - Richard J. Cron Chang~ of Zone recommending disapproval of an application that was totally dissimilar to the application that's being made here by virtue of the density of the project. True, it's similar in that the zone change in both instances are the same. So, I would ask the Board in reviewing the recommendation of the Planning Board that it realize that it's made on something that is totally obsolete, made on something that is totally misleading, and made on facts that are totally incorrect. So, if that kind of a recommendation can have an validity, well then I don't know what a valid recommenda- tion might be. I would like to hand up to the Board an excerpt from the Developmen~ Plan of the Town of Southold contained in a resolution to approve and submit to the Town Board, dated September 14, 1978, made by the Planning Board, page 4 thereof, which states, and I've put it in red brackets, "A final information meeting was held on October 2, 1970, at which time 85% of those attending expressed approval of the presentation." I think the Board can see that that statement is likewise dissimilar from the statement that was contained in the recommendations of the Planning Board under two instances to which I referred. I'd like to submit this. (Exhibit I). I don't wish to read this in its entirety, because I'm going to submit it to the Board, but I think it's important for those present that they hear some of this and I'd like to quote from, again, the Development Plan of the Town of Southold, of a resolution to accept, approve and submit to the Town Board. One of these is dated back in October 2nd, 1970, and the other is September 14th, 1978, both however, contain identical langauge and I quote, "Garden Apartment and Attached House Development. The Plan recommends consideration of medium density residential uses on various sites, sometimes in the future, when the need and demand for multi-family units develops. Such uses would be strictly contro]led by zoning regulations. Specifically, areas which might be considered potentially suitable for multi-family development are those in the immediate vicinity of retail shopping, service and general commercial areas. Zoning standards would assure .... " And they go on to say, "In evaluating the desirability of this type of land use, a number of studies relating to multi-family development in other communities were analyzed. These studies were concerned with the effects of such development on existing community character and municipal services, the number of school age children such a development might bring, the tax revenue produced by this use as compared with other land uses, the type of income levels of the probably residents of such units and the benefits to be derived by the local shopping establish- ments. Services can be provided for apartment developments with considerably greater ef£iciency and economy than for single-£amily houses. Mu]ti-family developments can add a significant amount of tax revenue to the community base, and usually house relatively few school age children. In addition, their occupants contribute substantial consumer buying power to the local retail areas. For these reasons, apartments usually require less in municipal services than the taxes they pay." (Exhibits II and II1) I would submit that all of the criteria set forth in those recommendations of the Planning Board to the Town Board back in 1970 and again in 1978 meet all of the criteria of the Seacroft Community that's proposed here this evening. Now, with that, I think if I could go into some aspects of of this proposal. As you can see, the program is entitled there, Page 6 Public Hea~.ng - Richard J. Cron Chang~ of Zone "Proposed Plan of Adult Retirement Community". It's broken down into some categories. I'll try to be rather brief because I think to some extent they're self-explanatory. Of course the land in question the Board is undoubtedly familiar with. Right now it's zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural. It consists of pretty much flat land of an acreage of 46.16 acres. The land has, in the past, been used for some farming and may until something developes either on this proposal or something else, be used still for that purpose. As I indicated to you, the land is immediately adjacent and contiguous to the business area in Cutchogue. It lies immediately behind the business area and north thereof to approximately--well, I don't know the exact footage, but it runs to the land of Hargraves where there's currently a vineyard in progress. The surrounding area I have, to some extent, given to you with the exhibits that were .just admitted as II and III. I think all of you are familiar with the Cutchogue area. You certainly do know that we have a number of stores in Cutchogue. We have Mr. Nolan's business, which is a boon to the area. We have the post office in the immediate vicinity, we have in this area a drug store, we, of course, have the North Fork Bank in close proximity, we have our churches in close proximity and fol' those who feel the need of some exercise, well, I guess we've got a par-3 golf course as well. Certainly it's within walking distance of all of these things which I think become important when you consider an adult retirement community, particularly where most of the in- habitants will be of senior citizen age. I think it's important that there be transportation available and we certainly have that in Cutchogue. There's transportation that can take people to and from Greenport, to and from Riverhead, and I imagine hook up at that point in Riverhead and go further west if that's desired. So I think when you're dealing with a project of this nature that it becomes important to have all these things available and this project certainly does. As far as the nature of the project itself, well, the purpose of the project is obviously to provide some adult residential units and when I say adult residential units I'm speaking of those people who will utilize them being at least 55 years of age, at least as to one of the inhabitants, and not having any children of an age of less than 19 years on a permanent basis. The units themselves will be inhabited strictly as a retirement or an adult community. The number of uni6s that are proposed would be four units per building, and obviously, of course, the buildings themselves would fall within the requirements of the zoning ordinance. In this instance they cannot be greater in length than ]25 feet, if I'm correct. So if you take the number of buildings proposed, which are 40, you would come out with the 160 un,ts that are proposed in this project. The units themselves at first blush as we're dealing with this now, we contemplate having units run in a square footage area,at least at this time, anywhere from 1100 square feet to approximately 2200 square feet. The latter, if you can see, being represented by the two story structure that's contained in a typical building. As you can see, it's the desire and the absolute intent to create this of a colonial design. While the facades and the colors may be different with respect to each building, we could call that a typical building and a typical elevation. In terms of the amenities that we would hope to provide--and the reason we are in the area of ].60 units is obviously if you are going to provide a number of amenities you've got to reduce the cost of ~hose on a per unit Page 7 - Public Hearino - Richard J. Cron Change ~ Zone basis. If you get too few units you obviously have to give up some of the amenities because the cost is prohibitive. What we propose to do is provide, in terms of a security system, a 24 hour security system within the project. We would expect that there would be a club house for the use of the residents. We would expect that there would be a swimming pool, tennis courts and perhaps a putting green. Needless to say, if you start cutting the units to low you can't provide all these things, and in terms of an adult community, we think all of these things are important. As far as the construction data ,tself, well I can only tell you that we're committed to using the best of materials and the best of labor and making this a mosf highly qualified quality type of project. The last catetory there is land for the Cutchogue Library. Let me tell you what this is all about. I suppose when the project became known in the area, we were approached by the people from the Cutchogue Library and asked if we could consider laying aside some of the land in this area for the Cutchogue Library. Apparently they feel that, I suppose, if you start anew with sufficient land more could be accomplished now and in the future than dealing with that which they already have. We are amenable to such a request. If we can help them and the community itself we would give serious consideration to their request. In looking at this project we have made an effort to try to set £orth what we consider the advantages to the project and what might constitute an alternative use for the site in question. The Board, I'm sure, is quite familiar with category A as it has come up for discussion in the past and undoubtedly will continue to come up for discussion. We think that this is a better alternative to creation of two family housing in the Town of Southold. I'll tell you why I say this. With this specific project you're going to know what you have today, you're going to know what you have tomorrow, and you're going to know what you have 20 years from now, because what will be created will be the same. There is no room ior change. There is no room for doing something else. This matter has to go through the Attorney General, and in terms of the amenities within the project, in terms of the roads within the project, all of these will belong to the resident property owners. They will govern this project. They will maintain the roads, they will maintain the landscaping, tbey will maintain the exterior of the buildings through a property owner's association, which is commonly the way condominiums are handled, So we do feel that. a project of this nature is a better alternative than to two family housing, because with the latter you don't know what you always get or what you will get. In terms of B, I think it's clear tbat since this entire project will be specifically designed for a senior group of people, that it certainly will fit and fulfill a senior housing need. We believe that such a need does exist in the Town of Southold. We believe that there are many seniors within the Town who would prefer this type of housing than to that which they already have. We have been approached by many of the senior citizens in the Town who presently are housed in large single family dwellings who find that method of living at this date, at this time in their lives not satisfactory, so we think that this, with all of the amenities that can be provided in this type or project, more suitable to their needs. Again, I've already pointed this out in terms of the density of the project, that there are so many units that you've got to have in order to provide those type of amenities that are listed there. I think probably the most important thing Page 8 - Public Hearin~ Richard J. Cron Change of Zone as far as the Board is concerned is that this is a self-maintained community project. The Town will have to provide no services in of itself for this community. Oh sure, there will be local fire protection that will be provided, but in terms of road maintenance or any of the other things that the Town is required to do with respect to public type of projects, won't be required here, because money will be collected on a monthly basis as a maintenance charge to provide all of those things that are set forth as the amenities. Obviously there ought to be no imposition on the local schools because there will be no children within that community of school age as far as the local schools are concerned, because the only permanent resident on a child basis will have to be someone that is at least 19 years of age. So there certainly is not going to be any imposition on the schools. As far as substantial tax dollars, well, I think that's obvious. I'm not going to sell that point, but I think the point itself is obvious. I think you're talking probably in the area of probably 15 million dollars of fair market value with no great imposition on Town services and the local schools, so I think the generation of tax dollars is certainly in that type of community. Again, the group that you will attract into this specific project is a very attractive group of consumers. It's your adult residents, senior citizens, most of whom I would think would probably deal locally with the local lousiness establishments. Again, I don't think I can stress any more how ideal the location is. It is immediately adjacent to the business areas, and if one looks at these and one looks at the exhibits that I have submitted to the Board and all fill the same criteria of the Planning Board and their Development Plan of the Town of Southold as I indicated in October of 1970 and September of 1978. Finally, I think you have to look at which might be the alternative if this project doesn't pass. What do you do with this property? Well, you can retain it in agri- culture, but you know, Cornell and all the studies, and frankly even the Planning Board in its own review of the Plan of Development for the Town of Southold, clearly recognizes that agriculture, unfortunately, will be on the decline. Certainly in terms of potato farming certainly will be. So it's highly unlikely that this specific piece of land is going to remain in agriculture. The only other alternative that you have, obviously to that, if this doesn't go, is single family residential development and,frankly, my view of the site and the view of others that I have consulted with who are even more knowledgable in that area than I am, feel that this would probably go in a low-cost type of housing if it goes into single family dwellings. I don't think the parcel is conducive to 150 thousand dollar, 200 thousand dollar houses. I don't think it would develop in that way. With that you may end up with a density problem greater and less attractive, certainly, than wbat we propose. You know, when one looks at the density of the project in terms of buildings itself, there isn't any difference. I would say on the parcel as it exists you could put 40 single family residential dwellings. That's all we propose to put there, 40 multiple residence buildings. Certainly the buildings aren't going to look unattractive. I see nothing wrong with having a building 125 feet in length if it's attractive. Certainly 125 foot single family ranch house would look attractive, so I see no reason why this would not also look attractive. In terms of density of people, I can't tell you how many would occupy the site, but I don't think it would be any more ~han two per unit and on the basis of the people who have contacted us, I would say it would be substantially less than that because many of them are widows and Page 9 - Public }{ea,.rig - Richard J. Cron Chang~ of Zone widowers, so in the single family dwelling aspect there could be any number of persons per unit, and I think you have to look in addition to the density of people, if that's what the concern is, and look at the quality of the density. I don't think I have any more to say on that. With that, I think I'd like to introduce at this time, Denis, the architect for the group and ask him to speak briefly to you. MR. DONALD A. DENIS, Architect: The principals here,who were introduced before, came to my office and I was retained to do the preliminary work for the project. That's about nine months ago. I walked the project, walked the property. If you are probably familiar with the property, it enlarges slightly as it goes to the north. There's a low area to the right of the east as you proceed on to the property. Generally the land is fairly level, and it's all open, not wooded at all and there is housing to the west of the development area. The intent, and I'll speak very generally about this, it's a concept. The units are 40, in four to a building, 160 living units. The comment someone made to me was that gee that's an alwful lot of roads. It could have been a little simpler, but one of the things is that we were trying to eliminate the possibility of having a lot of cars along the streets. One of the thoughts was that we would have the dwelling units, each would have probably one car, being only two persons to a unit or one, that there would ]n all probability only be one car and that we would provide a one-car garage. Instead of putting that in front of the building and having a driveway with a lot of cars parked out in front of a garage, with garages like they usually are, or along the main road, we would have the garages to the rear. So each of the structures has individual private garages in the back which we think is essential and we would require the cars to go around the back and wouldn't visible if you came on to the property. That was an initial concept. The other thing is the units vary in size and try to have an economic group, a range of higher desirahility of one price range to another. They're all two-bedroom units so in order to get variety into the architecture, we went into some two-bedroom units which would give us a break to the roof lines. The other idea was not to have any of these things line up, to make them irregular in position on the site so that they would these space inbetween the buildings and it was also considered that the property would be very highly landscaped. I think we're talking about a budget probably of three or four hundred thousand dollars of landscaping alone~ which if could be taken on a per house basis is not exorbitant but when you multiply it out by the number of units it does give us a lot of landscaping. So the property would be pretty well developed as far as the landscaping. The outside of the property would be all maintained as a common element. These units I think are just a conceptual type of thing, what we will be starting. The principals agree that this is what they would like to do. I would say that the intent of the design is to come up with three basic units which we intended to put in a variety of relationships to each other, always four to a building, but then we would also vary the materials on the outside of the building so the units didn't look alike. You may have this building repeated, but it may be flipped over, instead of brick it may be clapboards, Page 10 Public Heal'lng - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone it would be shingles, the roof material will be different, the colors would be different and there's an infinite number of combinations just by variety of the arrangement of the units. We have a density here of 3.4 units per acre. The units vary from 1200 to 2200 square feet. Again, this is still conceptual. I think it depends on what the market is. All the units have a private garage and also a private patio to the rear with private sitting area. We intend that there may be options here offered to the prospective buyers, such as fire- places, full basements for perhaps workshops. The community center we are thinking of having areas in there where people could meet, card rooms, craft rooms, a small meeting room for movies or shows. We're going to have two tennis courts, swimming pool, a putting range. I would just sort of summarize by saying that with the principals,from the very initial conversations with me, have talked quality. It was their intent, since they are members of the community, to build only something of the highest quality. They would say, we would rather err on the high side than the low side. So that's the instructions I've been given and I hope they can continue with the project. Thank you. MR. CRON: Thank you very much, Donald. My next three parties I'm going to ask the Board, if you feel it essential that they be sworn as witness before you, or if you desire them to be sworn as witnesses. The next party that I call will be Mr. McGrath who is a traffic analyst. Do you feel that you want the witness sworn in at all? SUPERVISOR PELL: No. Any other Board members? Board with agreed with Supervisor Pell.) I don't. (The MR. CRON: Then I will ask Mr. McGrath ask you, Mr. McGrath, before you start to the Board. to step up here and I would to state your qualifications MR. WILLIAM McGRATH: Thank you Mr. Cron, Mr. Chairman and members of the Board. 5{y name is William McGrath. I live in Yorktown in Westchester County, New York. I'm a professional traffic and transportation engineer. I have been doing this work for a little over thirty years. I was the director of traffic and parking in the City of New Haven, Connecticut and I was the traffic commissioner of the City of Boston and for the past ten years I've been offering private engineering services with respect to developments and such like traffic and transportation. At Mr. Cron's request we examined this proposed development area and the traffic situation in the neighborhood and as you've been told they propose to construct some 160 dwelling units for an adult retirement community. The one entrance to the site, which is at School House Road and Griffing, which is about 1200 feet north of Maill Road and as has been described, Griffing, down near Main Road, has the post office and is widened with a center strip and north of there it is a rather typical rural road without active frontage at the moment. School House Road goes east to Depot and at that point traffic using School House can go-- turn left and go north to North Road. In our study we obtained some traffic volume information from the New York State Department of Transportation and found that the average daily traffic on Main Road is some 7000 a day in 24 hours and that comes to about 600 something per hour in the average evening peak hour of the average Page 11 - Public Hearing - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone day, average business day. We examined the possible trip generation of this proposed development. We observed that the trip generation of an adult retirement community is lower than that of single family dwellings. We used the standard publication provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers as our guide, and we determined that it could be expected that this development would generate some 56 vehicles entering in the evening, evening peak hour, and 24 exiting from the site, for a total of 80. The morning peak hour would be somewhat lower and we didn't further examine the morning peak hour because the morning peak hour flow on the road, on Main Road, is lower, so the evening would be the highest activity point. This 80 vehicles in an hour coming or going from the site is, in our opinion, not excessive. We didn't examine the traffic handling capacity of the intersection of Griffing and the Main Road, and having assigned and distributed the traffic we carried out standard highway capacity calculations. We found that now the road operates at level of service "B", as we call it, which is free flowing, and this added traffic would not change that level of service from that category, so it would not be worsened to any extent. It would be-- obviously it would be additional traffic, but it would not be a worsened condition, still be level of service "B", which is generally quite acceptable to drivers and to the community. Based on all that, we believe that this development could be permitted without any undue traffic impact on the area in question. Thank you. MR. CHON: Thank you, Mr. McGrath. I should like at this time to hand up to the Board reduced copies of what you see there (on the easel display). A reduced copy of the site plan and a reduced copy of the typical elevation, typical building layout (Exhibit IV). Ii1 addition, I wou]d also like to submit to the Board the Traffic Analysis just recently commented on by Mr. McGrath (Exhibit V). I would like now at this time to ask Mr. John Raynor to come up and state his qualifications and give you a brief report. MR. JOHN J. RAYNOR: I'm a professional engineer and land surveyor also and I have been asked to supply for the applicants advice and engineering services relative to water supply and sewage disposal and on-site engineering and development of the plans. I have very little to tell you because the development of water supply and sewage disposal plans is really related to the next stage of our planning. I can tell you a little bit about the reasons why I believe that we will be able to provide the required systems. The first consider- ation is the fact that the property is located near the center of the highest elevations of ground water on the North Fork and that generally corresponds to the greater depth of fresh water available for water supply. The property also is at sufficient elevation that we would be able to develop on-site sewage disposal systems without interfering with the groundwater or bringing the bottoms of our leaching pools too close to the groundwater. So in that sense we should be able to meet all of the Suffolk County Health Department's requirements. I did have a preliminary meeting with Mr. Villa last summer to discuss their requirements relative to this type of project, and Mr. Villa's initial reaction was that we would be able to meet their requirements and he did point out that they have a slightly different water use requirement for senior citizen type developments and he ~lso pointed out that we would be required to provide a Page 12 - Public Hea~.ing - Richard J. Cron ChanGe of Zone community water supply system, which we are prepared to do. One of the things that he asked us to do, and apparently is a policy of the Department of Health Services now, is to consider the dedication of a community wafer supply system to the Suffolk County Water Authority so that those systems would be constructed in accordance with the Suffolk County Water Authority's require- ments and would be turned over to them for operation if they find that it is a large enough system to be feasibily run by them. If in fact we are able to meet the senior citizen requirements for the Department of Health Services, and to provide a community water supply system, the equivalent flow analysis for senior citizen use on the property would be within the normal density requirements of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. That's essentially all that I can say at this time. We do expect that we will do fairly extensive testing on the site if the project continues and that we will work with the Suffolk County Water Authority, the Department of Health Services and with the Town to develop a system of water supply and sewage disposal which meets the capability of the site. Thank you. MR. CRON: If it pleases the Board, I would like to submit just a letter report of Mr. Raynor which basically discusses the things that he said (Exhibit VI). And finally now I would like to call ~Ir. Roy Ha.je to give an environmental assessment as to the site iSself. I would ask Roy to set forth his qualifications to the Board. MR. ROY L. HAJE: I wasformerly employed by the State Department of Environmental Conservation as the Alternate Permit Agent. I was employed by that agency for eleven years and began my own business, Enconsultants, three years ago--three years ago today as a matter of fact, and the firm is involved in permit acquisition, environmental assessments, enironmental impact statements and so forth. I have a brief statement, if I could read it to you. In reviewing the environmental impact of a project, it is necessary to consider the various elements which may be impacted. Depending upon the type of project and location, some of these elements are of lesser importance while others mus~ be looked at more carefully. The instant applica- tion concerns the placement of 160 dwelling units, community center, various recreational facilities, roads, etc. The subject parcel consists of 46+ acres extending northward of the northerly end of Griffing Street, Cutchogue, Town of Southold. The land consists of farm fields which are flat to gently rolling in contour. Of greatest interest in this project will be the effect of the proposed work upon the groundwater resources and upon the soils themselves. As conventional heating will be employed in the units, there is not expected to be any appreciable effect upon air quality. The effect upon groundwater resources is being reviewed by ()/hers and was dis- cussed previously. Therefore, the only remaining environmental significant area to be expored is the effect upoa soils and topography. The Suffolk County Soil Survey describes several related soil types within the subject parcel. Tbese are Riverhead sandy loams, Plymouth loamy sands and Haven loams. These soils are often found associated with each other as is the case here. The hazard of erosion is moderate to slight and with proper contouring and landscaping should present no problem. All of the soils mentioned are well suited to farming the crops commonly grown in Suffolk County. The removal of the soils from production must be weighed against the need for the Page 13 - Public He,..lng - Richard J. Cron Chan,.e of Zone development and the environmental assessment. It is not anticipated that the project will adversely effect surrounding agricultural or residential uses but will co-exist with them. Considering the prominence of the Town of Southold as a retirement community, this project will not create a new sociological impact. It is anticipated that existing facilities in and around the Cutchogue vicinity will be adequate to supply the new community. Thank you. MR. CRON: Thank you, Roy. I should like to hand up a copy of Mr. Haje's report (Exhibit VII). If it pleases the Board at this time, that basically concludes the presentation for this project. With the Board's consent, however, 1 should like to reserve a comment at the conclusion if I may make that. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELI,: Anybody else present wish to speak in application for a zone change from agriculture to "M"? the microphone and state your name please. favor of this Please use MR. ROBERT GOODALE, Main Road, Mattituck: I've been a North Fork resident for about ten years. I've known one of the prlncipals of the development, Joe Nolan, since I've moved here and I would attest to his character. I am in favor of the project. I'm in the service industry and I go along to a lot of widow and widowers houses where they're obsessed with the maintenance of the older houses and they wish that they could get into some sort of a project like this. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mr. Goodale. coat, ~es, sir? The gentleman in the red MR. JOE GIBBONS: I'm a relatively recent new-comer to the Mattituck area. I grew up most of my life in Port Washington, Nassau County and when I first came to the Riverhead area and was concerned and interviewed for jobs, one of the primary reasons for making my final decision to live in this area was a life style which it afforded and the beauty of the land. Port Washington, as most of you may know, is quite populated and as a youth I saw the development of a Levittown right next to my old community. So when I, through the friendships that I developed through Mr. Cron and Mr. Carroll, learned of a development of this nature, I was most anxious to learn what they were going to do aesthetically. I was delighted to learn that they were going to offer a very high quality development and I think this is something which the area could use, not only in the financial sense, but I think it's mutually co~nptatable with the purpose which is going to be offered, and that is to offer a very safe community for the elderly. So in addition to the expert testimony, I certainly welcome the opportunity to endorse this project and having seen what has gone on on the South Fork also on Dune Road and also on Sound Road and the number of bungalows we have, I would certainly think that this ~ype of development would be most condusive to the area and I think, from my point of view, would be most welcome. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mr. Gibbons. Anybody else? Yes, Dart? Page 14 - Public Hea~'ing - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone MR. ED DART, Peconic: I am a resident of Peconic and a local retailer and also an acquaintance of Mr. Nolan, I too would like to attest to his character and his desire to make this a top quality type of a community. I've heard it time and time again from many of the older folks living in Town that this is something that they would like to have, a way of life that would be easier for them and so in short, I would like to see favorable approval of this project. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you~ Mr. Dart. Anybody else wish to be heard? Mr. Smith. MR. WILLIAI{ SMITH, Southold: I am a local resident and real estate broker and I have many requests for condominiums or apartments from people that come in the office. I think this will be of great benefit to the town of Cutchogue and the Town of Southold. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mr. Smith. Anybody else? Mrs. Schriever. MRS. BARBARA SCHRIEVER, Main Road, Orzent: I would like to speak in favor of this application. There's a great need for this kind of housing for older people. Speaking as a young person myself, I would say that I am really amazed that people think that there's no need for this kind of housing between Southold and Mattituck. Really amazed. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mrs. Schriever. Anybody else wish to be heard in favor of ibis application? Mrs. Jean Tiedke. MITS. JEAN TIEDKE, Southold: I agree, I'm not interested in senior citize~ housing either, but there is certainly a need and I am in favor of this development for many reasons, although, I do have some qualifications. What I'd like to do is not repeat some of the things that Dick Cron said about the Master Plan, which I agree. But I would like to turn this in to you later, would that'be possible? SUPERVISOR PELL: Turn it into the Town Clerk, yes. MRS. TIEDKE: Yes, I will. I would like to know what the Town's plans are with respect to a water district for the area of Cutchogue? Now, it's true it's on the biggest dome we have in the Town, which is a particular reason for taking particular care of it and I think that this is something you would have to consider. Another problem I forsee is the cost to the buyer. Are inviting in those who can pay whatever price might be asked for luxury housing? I think what we need is a good mix and I think that a community like this, ~t would suggest that possibly there would be some variation in sizes of houses which might indicate a variation in cost, but I think to put in a luxury community in the very hub of Cutchogue would be inappropriate myself, I think it should be a mix. This location isn't near either a wetland nor a shoreline and it certainly is near transportation, schools and churches and sc) on which is all in its favor. I think that you do have to consider providing for a variety of people when you consider a development of this type. I wrote all over the edge as people were talking. And I'm not sure that the list of advantages which Mr. Cron presented are necessarily Page 15 - Public Hearing - Ricbard J. Cron Change of Zone an exact replica of the list of advantages which the Town Board might see as being a good reason for building a development like this. You have to look at it very carefully to make sure it's not going to change the character of our Town which everyone talks about. We could change it to the point where we're another Southampton, and I'm not sure we want that. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Jean, when can you submit that? MRS. TIEDKE: Tomorrow. SUPERVISOR PELL: We want to close the hearing tonight, we don't want to have to remain open, we want it in before we close the hearing. It's on the record anyway, all the things you have said will be verbatim. Anybody else wish to speak in favor of the application? In the back. MRS. MARY McGUIRE: I'm a resident and a business woman in Mattituck and I'd just like to say that I'm in support of this and I'd like you to consider the fact that while you have to watch the density problem in the Township of Southold, that it might be good to consider the many people that are trying to make a successful business in this Township and that we really do need more population out here. Granted in the summertime most people do fairly well in business, but in the wintertime it seems to be a problem out here for a lot of people in business and a situation like this would certainly help the winter population because they would be year-around residents. So I'm in support of this. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mrs. McGuire. Anybody else wish to speak in favor of the change of zone? Yes, way in the back. NANCY HARRINGTON, Cutchogue: I live in a large single family house. I brought up four children here and Jt was wonderful, but the youngest is 21 and I think this is a magnificent idea so that I can stay in the neighborhood. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mrs. Harrington. Anybody else wish to be heard in favor of the change of zone in Cutchogue? Yes. MR. THO~AS UHLINGER, Cutchogue: I have been a Cutchogue resident for about 11 years and I am a business man in New Suffolk and I know Joe Nolan and his family quite well and I think he's going to do very well in Town, particularly if he gets his zoning approved here. I have a selfish reason, I'd like to have my mother live out here near me, yet i~ot with me. I think this is the perfect place for it. I'm in favor of it. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much. Yes, way in the back. MRS. HELEN LePORIN: I have been waiting years for just such a project and I am a senior citizen. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much. Anybody else w~sh to speak in favor of this? Mr. Henry Lytle. Page 16 - Public Hearing - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone MR. HENRY LYTLE, Peconic: As most you fellows know, I am a rep- resentative of the seniors and I guess I'm the senior senior around, and I am in contact with many of them and I've had very many requests for this type of thing. We've had a lot of people come out here ten to fifteen years ago and they built very substantial homes and ~re very nice, but ali of a sudden they find themselves instead of being 60 they're 75 and they're kicking 80 and they say we don't want so much to have around us, we'd like to be in a smaller spot or a place where we'd be taken care, so I think we should all vote in favor of it. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mr. Lytle. Anybody else wish to be heard in favor of this application? Anybody at all in favor of this change of zone in Cutchogue from Agriculture/Residential to Multiple Dwell- ing? (No response.) Anybody wish to be heard in opposition to the change? Mrs. Ruth Oliva. MRS. RUTH OLIVA, President, North Fork Environmental Council: We wish to oppose this application for a change of zone at this time for three reasons. First of all, it is not consistent with the present Master Plan. Secondly, ERM Northeast has drawn up the Draft Executive Summary of their water plan--water program. They have advised the Town to set up a water management program. The Town has not done so as yet. That would be my second reason to oppose it at this time, until the Town sets up the water program. Number three, the NFEC does not feel there should be any spo~ change of zone in the Town until the Master Plan can be updated and we can see just where we want to put our multiple dwellings, Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mrs. Oliva. Anybody else wish to be heard in opposition to the change? Anybody to the opposition to the change of zone? (No response.) Any other comment on the application at all? Anybody wish to have any comment on it before we go back to Mr. Cron? (No response.) All right, Town Board, questions? John Nickles. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I think it was Mr. Raynor who had mentioned that there is going to be a private water company or community water company and that was going to be built to the specifications of the Suffolk County Water Authority and that there is certain criteria that they have for the acceptance of that community water system into their domain or jurisdiction. I would like to know what that criteria is. MR. RAYNOR: As far as I know at the present time there is no established criteria for that. What I did say was that Mr. Villa told us of the Health Department's policy which was to ask the developers or anyone interested in setting up a community water supply system, first to confer with the Suffolk County Water Authority to see whether we can design it in accordance with their requirements, and to offer it to them for dedication and for them to operate it after it is completed and it is our intention to do that. As far as the criteria for the design, it would be in accordance with the American Water Works Association's standards and about the only thing that I would expect to be different between the type of a community water system we might do for a private Page 17 - Public Hearing - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone individual and not for the Suffolk County Water Authority would be in the degree of redundancy. Additional backup wells, additional storage capacity, perhaps a different type of control system, basic- ally would deliver the same quality water. I believe that one of the concerns that the Health Department has and which the Water Authority shares with them, is that they do not want to see a proliferation of small community water systems which will not, at some time in me future~ be tied together in such a way as to serve the entire community. Since we are in probably one of the best parts of the Town of Southold to begin a community system, we would be pleased to participate in the first attempt of a community water system in Cutchogue and if that is the nucleus of the Suffolk County Water Authority involvement in this area we think it would be worthwhile for the Town to have that. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: In other words you are saying the likelihood of their--even if you may offer it to them--the likelihood of the Suffolk County Water Authority of accepting is probably negligible at this point in time. MR. RAYNOR: I wouldn't say that. I really don't know because it will depend to a great extent on our ability to provide what they would look for in terms of isolation area around the wells and tbings of that nature. From what Mr. Villa told me in my preliminary discussion with him, he believes that the Water Authority is interested in making sure that these types of systems are not done unless they are going to be tied into a universal system if you will, something that's maintained by the Water Authority. I don't know the answer to that. I hope we are going to develop an answer that will be acceptable to you. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: We di~'t either. I thought you knew the answer, that's why I asked it. SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murdock. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: I'm curious as the proposed subdivision. How wide be within this development? to the width of the roads in do you propose the roadways to MR. CRON: I don't think there is any determination as of this date as to how wide the roads would be. Obviously we would have to go back to the Planning Board for ultimate site plan approval and needless to say, whatever is required to be done in terms of the utility value of the project and it's ability to handle whatever traffic would be required, at the same time to keep it aesthetically pleasing,would be done. So I cannot give you, at this juncture, a positive answer as to the width of the roads. I would assume, and this again I guess I should not do that because there is a saying that goes with that, but I would assume that primary roads would be of a width that is currently required by the Planning Board with respect to the installa- tion of roads in any subdivision at this time. SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other Councilman have anything they would like to ask? We have a question from the floor. Page IS - Public He~ing - Richard J. Cron Chah~e of Zone MR. STEWART HARVEY, Southold: What are the chances of these roads reverting back to the Town and be in our budget then? SUPERVISOR PELL: During the presentation he said they were going to be private roads. MR. HARVEY: And they will remain? Will not become Town roads? MR. CRON: Absolutely none. MR. HARVEY: Also, I think, with the view that agriculture will be out on there, I think they're doing very good with grapes up there, and I'm sure the lawns are going to give us more pollution than the farmers do. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you for your comments. Mr. Frank Bear had his hand up. MR. FRANK BEAR, Southold: In view of the fact that it's been suggested and indicated that this would be something which would be eventually a part of the County Water Authority, I have some questions about that because the ERM report on the North Fork Water Study has recommended that there be a Town water supply system set up, probably a Town water district, and within that district there be individual wells as well as in thickly populated areas a local water supply system. So I have, still, a question in my mind about the validity of the statement that this would become a part of the County Water Authority, which does not, as I understand it, extend to this part of the county. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you for your statement, Mr. Bear. MR. CRON: I wonder if I could make a comment to that.---Mr. Raynor, go ahend. MR. RAYNOR: I reported to you the results of my discussion with Mr. Villa last summer. It was his request that we negotiate with the Suffolk County Water Authority. In order to clear it up, we're perfectly happy to discuss with any Town agency that you are either going to set up or would like to consider setting up, making this a nucleus of their water district. Our principal intention is to provide a safe and adequate water supply for this project. If it fits into the planning for the Town to provide this as a nucleus of a water district we would be perfectly happy to do that. In order to deal in good faith with the Suffolk County Health Depart- ment, we will also discuss it with the Suffolk County Water Authority. If the Town has a strong feeling one way or the other about the involvement of the Suffolk County Water Authority I'm perfectly happy to listen to that and relay that to Mr. Villa. I have a feeling that he's already aware of that. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mr. Raynor. Any other Councilman have anything they want to ask? From the audience? ~{RS. ISABEL QUARTICELLI, Cutchogue: I'm a resident on Highland Road, which would be the westerly side of this proposed site. Now, Page 19 - Public Hea,'ing - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone I moved out to Cutchogue just about a year ago because of the beauty of the area. What I'm concerned about, if this proposal is approved I'm assuming there will be a fence around the units. Now, since my property faces the units I'm concerned with the height of the fence, will there be shrubbery to conceal it. I didn't move out to Cutchogue to look at a fence, and that's mainly what I'm concerned about. I moved out to a beautiful site and I'm disturbed about looking out at buildings and a fence and I'd like to know the height of the fence and what type of fence which would be surrounding this property, because they did say that there would be security provided for the residents there. Can you just give me an idea of how this property will be fenced and secured? Thank you so much. MR. CRON: From the point of view of aesthetics, we too are concerned [n that regard and we're going to be concerned as to what we would look at also. In terms of a fence or shrubs, there's going to be no question that the site is going to be attractively landscaped and with suitable trees as humanly possible. In terms of security, nothing is decided at this point with respect to placing a fence directly around the perimeter. It will be made secure, but I would think that when we do it it will be done so as aesthetically pleasing not only to the people that are going to reside in the community, but also to those who may have to look at ~t. We are deeply concerned about the aesthetics of it and before it is ultimately done, what you see there may not necessarily be the final site plan. A lot more thought and consideration is going to go into that area. The only reason that we layed it out basically this was, was to show you that the land in question can readily accomodate 160 units proposed. There may be more clustering and I can assure you we're going to be concerned ~ot only about our own aesthetics, but as to those who have to view it from outside the area. I can't give you any more assurance than that. It's going ~o be done right. SUPERVISOR PELL: Anybody else wish to speak on this application for a zone change? Yes? CONNIE SHELBY, Cutchogue: I also reside to the west of the proposed site. The question I have in my mind is the sewage treatment that would be taking place when this proposed site, if it does come to be. My main concern is water contamination, being that I live there and I certainly don't want anything to happen to my family or to the fact I may have to sell my house because the water is contaminated. I would just like to know what you have in mind as far as the treatment of the sewage if this comes to be. SUPERVISOR PELL: Mr. John Raynor will address that. MR. RAYNOR: We expect that the sewage treatment system to be used on the site will be conventional septic systems to the extent that the equivalent flow comparison is accurate. In other words, there is a certain flow associated with single family use which is in the design criteria of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. To the extent that we are able to meet their criteria for senior citizen housing, I expect that our sewage flows will be equivalent fo single family use. Under those assumptions we will be using Page 20 - Public Rea, ing - Richard J. Cron Chan~e of Zone ordinary septic systems. I would expect that if it's feasible, if it's possible to meet the Health Department's requirements and to add the new system that they've been considering~ which is a nitrate removal system, that we would probably incorporate that. It depends to a great extent on the success of the water system proposals and the comparisons of the flows from single family versus senior citizen housing. That's all I know at the present time about the sewage treatment system. It may turn out that as we go through a further study of it we may incorporate some additional finer points so we can make sure that we're not contaminating that groundwater aquifer. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mr. Raynor. on the subject at all? Judge Edwards. Anybody else wish to speak JUSTICE EDWARDS: On the septic system, are you talking about individual units or a centralized system? MR. RAYNOR: The usual arrangement for this type of development or site, is to use centralized systems that are associated with each cluster so that there might be for this type of site plan, perhaps six or seven separate systems. However, there would not be separate, individual septic tanks and leaching pools for each individual unit. Now, that depends to a great extent on the location of our wells for the water supply and on the separation of water between those and the septic systems. If it turns out that it is necessary to incorp- orate some more sophisticated system other than the sulphur limestone denitrification systems, then we might go to a single source of treat- ment and a dissipation of the affluent perhaps in one end of the site and the water supply on the other end. At this time I expect we would have the systems associated with each cluster and that's the way the Health Department generally prefers to see it done. SUPERVISOR PELL: The Board of Health has something on if you have a site of 99 homes you have to have something in there? MR. RAYNOR: The Health Department has a series of requirements that relate to the use of an advanced wastewater treatment plant when you exceed the equivalent flow from single family homes. In a case like this, where community water supply system would be provided, the density on single family homes would be one for each 20,000 square feeI. The flow associated with that is 300 gallons per home, so we have 600 gallons per acre and the equivalent flow for senior cifizen housing for single bedroom units would be 100 gallons per unit and for two bedroom it would be 150 gallons. I expect a mix of one and two bedroom units would sfill lead us to less than the equivalent flow from single family use and under those circumstances, I expect the Health Department will not require advance wastewater treatment. I'm going beyond that, I not only don't think the Health Department will require it, I don't think it will be necessary because would incorporate if we find in analysis that there would be a significant increase in nitrate removal, we would go to a nitrate removal system which the Health Department has encouraged in some other situations. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. at all? Any Board member? your right to summarize. Anybody else wish to comment on this Anybody from the audience? Mr. Cron, Page 21 - Public Hea_.ing - Richard J. Cron Change of Zone MR. CRON: Thank you. Needless to say, I was somewhat delighted to see my friend Mrs. Tiedke come up in support of this application. Her comment regarding the luxury of the development is most attractive and within the sense that luxury constitutes top quality in [erms of labor of material, I'll accept the term luxury. However, it isn't intended by the use of that term, as she has used it, to exclude anybody necessarily. We are committed and I can't reiterate any more succinctly and clearly tha~] I'm saying here this evening to a qualify project, where local people, and we live here and I intend to live here and so do my associates, so we don't intend to do any- thing thai would bring shame or distraction to the Town of Southold, and certainly to the community of Cutchogue. I wasn't surprised by my friend Ruth Oliva's protestations, nor do I think the Board was either. However, I would like to say that it's the right time, the right place, it's the right people and any other time and place it would be ~he same. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you.

Design Environmental Planning February 1, 1983 Town Board Town of Southold Southold, NY 11971 Re: Water Use Considerations for Change-of-Zone Application of Richard Cron et al Dear Board Members: I have been retained by Richard Cron, Esq., and his associates to pro vide engineering services in connection with the proposed senior citizen com- munity in Cutchogue which Mr. Cron has named Seacroft. At this time, our concerns are related to the Planning Board and Town Board's consideration of the proposed change-of-zone. Review of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services Water Table Contour Map for 1982, indicates that the Seacroft site is in the vicinity of the highest groundwater elevations in the Town of Southold, and therefore, is likely to have the greatest depth of freshwater available for supply purposes. The elevation of the site is sufficiently high to allow for subsurface disposal of sewage effluent without groundwater complications. It is antici- pated that the sewage disposal systems will be designed in accordance with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services most recent design criteria, and may include a nitrate removal process, if feasible. Water supply for Seacroft would be provided in the form of a community distribution system with several wells located in a central open area. In accordance with current health services policy, the water supply system will be offered to the Suffolk County Water Authority, and if they were receptive to the idea, could become the nucleus of a community system for Cutchogue. Assuming that a community water suoply system for Seacroft is estab- lished, and using the design sewage flows of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for senior citizen units, Seacroft will meet the current den sity requirement of the Department of Health Services. If the Town Board Southold Town Board Page Two February 1, 1983 sees fit to grant the zone change application, it is our intention to work closely with the Department of Health Services, the Water Authority, and the Tewn of Southold to insure that the proposal will be favorably related to the capability of the land to support such a use.

We hope you will find them useful and beneficial in your report to the Planning Commission. We have found that the change in traffic due to the proposed development is extremely slight. The calculated level of service is "R", which is the second highest quality attainable. We based our analysis on count data provided by New York State npeartment of Transportation, and actual turning movement counts taken by ou'r staff. Our analysis included capacity analysis of t~e Main Road itself, as well as analysis of the intersection of Main Road and Griffing Street. We trust that this study will suit your needs.

The Main Road is State Highway Route 25 and extends the entire length of Long Island, from the Queensborough Bridge in Oueens County (New York City) through Oueens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County, and along the north fork to Orient Point. The site is presently zoned for single family residential dwellings on 40,000 square foot lots ("A" Zone). It is presently undeveloped. The proposed development would require a change to "M" zoning, or multiple dwelling units with a maximum density of 6.9 units per acre. This report is designed to address the traffic which will be generated hy the proposed development, and its effects on the existing roadway system. It is presented to the Southold Town Planning Board in order to provide information and to aid them in their decision making process. Qevelopment Characteristics The site is a 46.16 acre parcel of land which is currently zoned for single family dwelling units on 40,000 square foot lots. Under maximum development, there could be 45 dwelling units built on the site. If the zoning is changed to "M" zoning, the allowable density would be 6.9 units per acre, or 318 units. However, the proposed development is for only 160 units, or approximately one-half the maximum allowable density. The proposed development is designed as an "adult community" with certain restrictions as to who may occupy the units. Primarily, there must be at least one adult over age 55 in the family, and no child may be under age 19. There are four general types of units with sizes ranging from 1300 to 2200 square feet per unit. Each building of four units will have approximately 5300 square feet. A substantial number of retired persons and single person occupants (e.g. widows and widowers) are anticipated due to the size of the units, location of the site, and nature of the development. These factors tend toward an average occupancy rate which is considerably below single family detached housing or apartment housing, probably under two persons per dwelling unit. Trip generation rates, while higher than a designated Retirement Community, will also he lower than apartment dwelling unit rates. The next section describes in detail the methods used to generate the traffic levels which are anticipated for this development. Access to the site will be closely controlled, and located at a single point, the northern end of Griffing Street. There may be other points used for emergency access, but these will be closed to normal traffic. Most of the traffic entering and exiting the development will use Griffing Street to the Main Road (Rt. 25). However, some traffic can be expected to use Schoolhouse Road to Depot Lane, which provides direct access to the North Road bypass route. North Road would generally be used only by traffic leaving the area, while it is expected that most local traffic would use the Main Road, Since the majority of the traffic can be expected to use the Main Road, the traffic analysis centers around the intersection of Griffing Street and Main Road. Trip Generation The first step in the traffic analysis procedure is to determine the amount of traffic which can be expected to he generated by the development. In instances where some other facilities are being removed in order to make way for the new development, the traffic generated by the old facility must also be measured. However, since there is no existing development at this site, there is no existing traffic to be measured or calculated. New traffic can be estimated through the use of "Trip Generation Factors", which are compilations of data from existing similar developments. Such factors are usually based on some independent variable, such as number of units, square feet of area, number of seats, acres of development, number of occupants, etc. They are the results of multiple studies where actual trips have been measured for a particular type of development. One of the most widely used compilations of such factors is the TRIP GENERATION manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). This manual was originally compiled by the ITE in 1976, and undergoes constant updating as new information becomes available. The generation factors are divided into ten main sections of development types. Section 200 - Residential is itself divided into eight subsections. The factors discussed he rein come from applicable parts of these sections. In order to estimate the amount of traffic which will be generated by the proposed development, the factors and independent variables must be examined to select the proper factors. Present zoning allows for development of single family detached dwelling units which has the highest trip generation rate. This type of unit would generate l0 trip-ends per day per unit. (A trip-end is a trip which either begins or ends at the place in question. Therefore, one round trip of a vehicle is accounted as two trip-ends.) During peak hours, there would be 0.8 vehicles in the morning and 1.O vehicles in the afternoon expected to enter and exit from the site, per dwelling unit. On the other hand, the lowest rates are found for retirement community developments, with only 3.3 trip-ends per day per unit, and 0.4 vehicles in the morning and 0.4 vehicles in the evening peak hour entering and exiting from the site, per dwelling unit. Trip generation rates for several types of residential developments and for several independent variables are summarized as follows: SECTION 210 - SINGLE FAMILY nETACHE~ HOUSING Average Density = 3.5 Ilnits/Acres Average Occupancy = 3,7 Persons/Unit Average Auto Ownership - 1,6 Vehicles/Unit TRIPS PER DWELLING UNIT (PEAK HOUR) (1D DAILY TRIP-ENDS PER DWELLING UNIT) A.M.

ENTER 0.04 0.13 EXIT 0.14 TOTAL 0.18 0.19 SECTION 250 - RETIREMENT COMMUNITY TRIPS PER DWELLING UNIT (PEAK HOUR) (3.3 DAILY TRIP-ENDS PER DWELLING UNIT) A.M. P.M. ENTER N.A. N.A. EXIT N.A. N.A. TOTAL 0.4 0.4 From the above tables, generation factors are chosen by co[nparing the characteristics of each section with the characteristics of the proposed development. 5 Since the proposed development is for an adult community, it can be expected to be quite similar to the Retirement Community (Section 250) factors. Since condominiums and low rise apartments have similar trip generation characteristics, but have a higher occupancy rate and automobile ownership rate than can be expected within this development, the factors for this development were chosen between these two categories as follows: DEVELOPMENT FACTORS TRIPS PER DWELLING UNIT (PEAK HOUR) (4.4 DAILY TRIP-ENDS PER DWELLING UNIT) A.M. P.M. ENTER 0.10 0.35 EXIT 0.35 0.15 TOTAL 0.45 0.50 This leads to the following conclusions: PEAK HOUR GENERATED TRIPS A.M. P.M. ENTER 16 56 EXIT 56 24 TOTAL 72 80 The total number of trip-ends will be 704 per week day, or approximately 350 entering and leaving vehicles (over a 24 hour daily period.) Traffic Assignment The New York State Department of Transportation (DNT) keeps records of various types, including traffic levels, on their highways. Main Road is New York State Route 2§, and the DOT region office in Hauppauge indicated that Main Road had a 7000 vehicle ADT. ADT is the Average Daily Traffic, and is based on averaging daily traffic count data for several days throughout the year. For a roadway with 7000 vehicles/day, the Transporatation and Traffic Engineering Handbook, published hy ITE, shows that approximately 9. N% of the ADT will pass a given point during the peak hour (in both directions). This is 630 vehicles in the peak hour (in both directions). Manual turning movement counts were taken at the intersection of Main Road and Grilling Street and compared to the peak hour volume obtained from the ADT. The highest volumes, which occurred during the PM peak hour, verified the count information. Count summaries are included in Appendix A. Existing turning movement diagrams are shown in figures lA, lB and lC for morning, mid-day and afternoon peak hours. The generated traffic is then split between Schoolhouse Road and Griffing Street, with an estimated 85% of the traffic to pass through the intersection of Griffing Street and Main Road. The generated traffic is then added to the existing volumes with the results shown in Figures 2A and 2R for morning and afternoon peak hours. All volumes are rounded to the nearest 5 vehicles.

The capacity, which is a flow rate, is usually given in terms of passenger cars per hour, even though the period of time over which the measurement is taken may not be an hour. By calculating a roadway's capacity, the ratio of volume actually on the road to the capcity can be calculated. This ratio, called v/c is used to determine the Level of Service of the roadway. Level of Service describes the flow condition - "A" being extremely good and free flowing, and "F" being a complete The methods for calculating the capacity of a roadway are prolonged, and will not be detailed here. Basically, a maximum potential service volume of 2000 passenger cars per hour (both directions) is adjusted by factors to take into account the physical properties of the roadway: grade, width, lateral clearance, traffic composition, bus stops, parking, etc. The adjusted number is the capacity of the roadway (Reference #2). The calculation is: CAPACITY = (MSV) X (W) X (T) X (B) X (RV) Where MSV W T B RV Maximum Service Volume Width Adjustment Factor Truck Adjustment Factor (5%) (measured) Bus Adjustment Factor (1%) (measured) Recreation Vehicle Factor (10%) (estimated) CAPACITY = AM V/C : PM V/C : 2000 x 0.96 x 0.93 x 1.OO x 0.87 1553 veh./hr, say 1550 535/1550 = 0.34 = Level of Service "B" 630/1550 = 0.45 = Level of Service "8" In addition to checking the effects of the added traffic on the mainline roadway, the intersection's capacity must also be analyzed. Critical movement analysis of the Griffing Street and Main Road Intersection is included in Appendix R for AM and PM peak hours. They indicate that the intersection will operate at Level of Service "R" as well. 10 Concl IJsions Presently, the highway has a peak two directional flow of 650 veh./hr. This yields a v/c of Q.42, which is Level of Service "B". With the proposed development, the v/c only changes to 0.45 still yielding Level of Service "B" and adding only small amounts of traffic to the roadway. Furthermore, the intersection of Main Road and GriTTing Street also operates at Level of Service In summary, the proposed development will generate a total of 80 peak period trips and 70~ trip-ends throughout the entire day. This should have minimal impact on the operating conditions of the roadway, which currently carries 70~0 vehicles per day. References: 1.

The instant application concerns the placement of ~ /&O Units, Community Center, various recreational facilities, roads, etc. The subject parcel consists of 46.16 acres extending northward of the northerly end of Grilling Street, Ramlet of Cutchogue, Town of Southold. The land consists of farm fields which are flat to gently rolling in contour. Of greatest interest will be the effect of the pro- posed project upon the groundwater resources and upon the soils themselves. As conventional heating will be employed in the units, there is not expected to be any appreciable effect upon air quality. The effect upon groundwater resources is being reviewed by others and will be dis- cussed separately. Therefore, the only remaining environmental area to be explored is the effect upon soils and topography. The Suffolk County Soil Survey describes several related soil types within the subject parcel. These include Riverhead sandy loams, Plymouth loamy sands and Haven loams. These soils are often found associated with each other as is the case here. The hazard of erosion Environmental Assessment of Proposed Adult Community at Cutcho~ue -2 is moderate to slight and with proper contouring and landscaping mhould present no problem. Ail of the soils mentioned are well suited to farming the corps commonly grown in Suffolk County. The removal of the soils from production must be weighed against the need for develop- ment in the environmental assessment. It is not anticipated that the project will adversely effect surrounding agricultural or residential uses but will co-exist with them. Considering the prominence of the Town of Southold as a retire- ment community, this project will not create a new sociological impact. It is antedated that existing facilities in and around the Cutchogue vicinity will be adequate to supply the new community. ~ounnold Town Plann'~ Board -6- [% October 2, 1970 The Development Plan map show' .lo~ density residential development along the south shore and in ~. narrow strip on the north shore along Long Island Sound. It is proposed that development in these areas be limited to single family houses, but at a higher density than in the Agriculture-Residence areas. The densities proposed for these areas are 1 to 2 dwelling units per net acre, depending upon the provision of a public water system° Garden Apartment and Attached House Development The Plan recommends consideration of medium density residential uses on various sites, sometime in the future~ when the need and demand for multi-family units develops. Such uses would be strictly controlled by zoning regulations. Specifically, areas which might be considered potentially suitable for multi-family development are those in the immediate vicinity of retail shopping, service, and general commercial areas. Zoning standards would assure low density, adequate landscaping, and sufficient off-street parking spaces so that the developments will be in harmony with the residential development in the remainder of the Town. Approval by the Planning Board of the layout of each apartment site will be required° Hence, the exact location of all suructures, facilities, and landscaping, and of all points of ingress and egress would be subject to approval by the Planning Board prior to the issuance of any building permit° In evaluating the desirability of this type of land use, a number of studies relating to multi-family development in other communities were analyzed. These studies were concerned with the effects of such develop- ment on existing community character and municipal services, the number of school age children such a development might bring, the tax revenue produced by this use as compared with other land uses~ the type of income levels of the probable residents of such units, and the benefits to be derived by the local shopping establishments° Services can be provided for apartment developments with considerably greater efficiency and economy than for single-family houses° Multi-family developments can add a significant amount of tax revenue to the community base, a~d usually house relatively few school age children° In addition, their occupants contribute substantial consumer buying power to the local retail areas. For these reasons, apartments usually require less in municipal services than the taxes they pay° AGR~CULTUP~L LAND USE PLAN Approximately 47% (13,136 acres) of Southold's 28,150 acres of land area is in agricultural use. The 1965 value of the total farm crop was in excess of eight million dollars, making Southold one of the leading dollar-value agricultural towns in the State of New York. However, ~,,er the psst decade, there has been a relative decline in ~he actual number of acrea farmed, and in the total number of farms° There has hcaa a ~e~,d ~ow~rd consolidation into lar~er ~in~ly-held units with R~sJ~e~i.~!
