The~uality~f site's design can have a significant effect._ on the value of the surrounding properties. ~ite design can not only reduce the proper balance in relationship between the taxable value of real property and the cost of municipal services provided, but can d~minish the numerous positive benefits that land use and development usually provide to the property owner. Further, the Town wishes to protect the unique rural and open space character of this Town by encouraging~ development. It is the purpose of this section to encourage good design and: 1. Protect the established character of the~inin~L~ propertie~ both public and private, and of the nei~ood in which they are located.

The community's Master Plan should never be considered as a static blueprint to be followed without regard to changing condi- tions, but rather should be viewed as a dynamic document to be ~eviewed periodically and revised as necessary. Moreover, since tile plan is intended as a long range statement, the implementa- tion of the plan will take place over an extended period of time.

Ne feel that it would be beneficial to have the incorporation of an economic impact statement taken into consideration in the planning process for the Town of Southold. The Town Board members on the commerce and industry committee were to discuss this idea with the entire Town Board and get your feelings on this matter. To date, we have not had any response to this inquiry. Please discuss this matter and let us know how you feel.

According to the survey conducted by the chamber, it appears to be detrimental to the wishes of the community in the fact that they want more apartments. If they want more apartments, why make it more expensive to build apartments by cutting the density? We don't understand the urgency of this proposed legislation since these changes are supposed to be in conjunction with the revised Master Plan which has not yet been presented to the public for their review and comments.

(Our comments for the eastern Hamlets will be forthcoming as early as possible.) Also, we would like to request that all mention of "special exceptions" not be acted upon at this time since Planning and Zoning have mutually agreed to meet to discuss the Planning Board's proposal of shifting that authority. At present the only area that we would agree to shift is "Resort Residential" zones (bed and breakfast, tourist camps, multiple dwellings, etc.). FRANCIS J.

We, the members of the Town Board, wish to address this problem. We see three possible ways of handling this problem: 1. There are no For Sale signs allowed on the property. 2. One sign per property. 3. The property owner is allowed to place one sign that reads: For Sale &(owner phone #, or broker phone #, or see your local broker). Working towards eliminating this unsightly problem in the Town of Southold, we wish to set a meeting with all local Real Estate Brokers. The goal is to establish a law that we can all live with.

File RE: Berms DATE: April 28, 1985 . ~ Pursuant to your request of April 22, 1985 we have prepared the wording below for your review. It needs polishing and probably more tailoring for complete compliance with local regulations. It is suggested that the Building Administrator review this wording also. 1. Add to Section 100-13 Definitions alphabetically: BERM - A structure composed primarily of earth intended for privacy, security, enclosure, visual screening or noise abatement. 2. Add a new Section 100-119.2 Berms. General. 1. All berms shall be constructed so that all sides of the berm shall not have a slope greater than one (1) to three (3) feet. For the purposes of this section, the slope shall refer to the ration of a vertical rise of one (1) foot to a horizontal run of three (3) feet. Ail berms shall be constructed out of clean fill or an equal approved by the Building Inspector. Said fill shall be given sufficient time to settle before final shaping and topsoil are applied. After the settled fill has been shaped, a uniform six (6) inch layer of approved horticultural topsoil shall be placed and fine graded. 23 Narragansett Ave. Jamestown. RI 02835 (401) 423-0430 · Ail berms shall be properly vegetated and landscaped, as approved by the Planning Board, before any erosion occurs in the topsoil on the berm, or, in the alter- native, the berm shall be covered with an approved ground cover until such time the berm can be properly landscaped. Berms shall be constructed only during the period from March 1 through October 15. No fence or wall shall be constructed on a berm. However, a retaining wall may be placed on the sides of a berm where the Planning Board finds said retaining wall will promote aesthetic considerations and the height of same does not exceed the height or grade of the berm. 7. The six Height. 1. The construction of berms and the berm itself shall not interfere with natural drainage. outside toe of the berm shall not be closer than (6) feet to any property line. The height of a berm shall be the vertical distance from the top of the berm to the natural existing grade at the base of the berm. In all residence districts, no berm shall have a height greater than four (4) feet in a front yard or six and one half (6 1/2) feet in a rear of side yard. In all nonresidence districts, no berm shall have a height greater than six and one half (6 1/2) feet in a front, rear or side yard. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection B(1) and (2) of th~s section, where the proposed berm is along a major street, as that term is defined in subsection A106-13 of this Code, the Planning Board may increase the height limitations of this subsection where it would be in the public interest by limiting adverse impacts from noise or light or by promoting aesthetic considerations. However, in no case shall a berm along a major street exceed ten (10) feet. SAI SZEPATOWSKI ASSOCIATES INC. EN\'IRONN~[NTa,I CONsUITa. NTb SAI . Permit. 1. Ail berms, except those required to be constructed in connection with the Planning Board's approval of a subdivision plat or site plan, which exceed four (4) feet in height shall require a building permit.

The scale of the grading plan shall be no smaller than one (1) inch equaks twenty (20) feet. b) A cross section of the-berm indicating the type of materials to be used in constructing the berm (i.e., fill, topsoil) and the location of land- scaping. The scale of cross section shall be no smaller than one (1) inch equals four (4) feet; and c) A detailed landscaping plan indicating the location, size and quality of the species to be planted. Ail applications for a building permit for a berm shall.be referred to the Planning Board for its approval with respect to the compatibility of the berm with the surrounding properties and associated land uses, drainage considerations, landscaping and aesthetics. within twenty (20) working days of receipt of a complete application, the Planning Board shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny the application. The Building Inspector shall not issue a permit for a berm until Planning Board approval has been received.

Terry, Town Clerk Stuart Turner ~ Southold Zoning Ordinance - Sale of Agricultural Goods The issue related to the regulation of the sale of agricultural and nursery products requires a clear understanding of the Town's objective before proper wording can be incorporated into the zoning ordinance. I will assume, based upon discussions with Mr. Lessard and Mr. Murphy and the letter from Mrs. Terry, that the Town's objective is to provide an additional outlet for farmers or nursery people to sell products grown on their property, but not to allow commercial uses in agricultural and low density residential areas. Thus, the subject use is to be clearly accessory to the primary agricultural use and is not to be a commercial enter- prise. I suggest that: (a) the sale of farm products be listed as an accessory use; (b) that the goods sold be limited to those that are grown on the premises, (or possibly produced from goods grown such as preserves) and (c) the sale be restricted to temporary structures approved by the building inspector. You can further limit the use of these structures to a specific season or time period during the year. If this is what you want to accomplish, I suggest that the Town Zoning Ordinance be amended in such a way as to restrict the commercial use in the A Residential and Agricultural District to accessory uses and the sale of agricultural products in these zones should be limited to those which are grown or produced on the premises. The following changes are recommended to meet this objective. Section 100-30(2) (a) would read as follows: (a) The raising of field and garden crops, vineyard and orchard farming and the maintenance of nurseries. The rest of this item becomes 100-30(c)8 as follows (Accessory use): 8. The seasonal sale of products grown on the premises thereof, subject to the following special requirements: Structures utilized for display and retail sales on the premises shall not exceed one-stor~, and one thousand (1,000) square feet in floor area. Display of produce shall be not less than ten (10) feet from all street and lot lines. Any stand in excess of one hundred (100) square feet in floor area shall be set back twenty (20) feet from the street line. Any stand in existence at the effective date of this amendment must, within one (1) year, comply with all the provisions hereof. (b) Ail signs shall conform to paragraph 100-30C(6) (b). The phrase "grown on the premises" will restrict the potential for cooperative sale of produce between producers. If this is not your intent, the phrase "grown in the Town" may allow the transporting of produce to another site for a joint sales effort without opening up the possibility of non indigenous products being sold. I hope that this material will be helpful to the Town Board in their deliberations. As a general comment, I suggested to Supervisor Murphy that all of the individuals and boards involved with land use regulations, prepare a list of concerns that they have that we can use in our review of the Zoning Ordinance. We are now working on this as part of the third phase of our Master Plan work. approved by the building inspector. OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK TOWN OF SOUTHOLD TOWH Hall, 53095 Mare Road P.O.

In recent months, dozens of new plans to carve up the North Fork have een brought before the planning board. And slowly, one by one, they're eing approved.

The most recent educated estimate for revising the master plan is 18 ~onths, which is not unreasonable considering the amount of work ntailed_ But what undoubtedly will happen between now and the doption of a new master plan is unreasonable. At the rate things are .oing, in 18 months the North Fork could be paved from Sound to bay.

Development noratoriums have been upheld in the courts, and there is every reason o believe that such a move here would be seen as justifiable.

Pell, Southold Town ttall Main Road Southold, New York 11971 Dear Supervisor Pell: Ill On February 26,1981 we wrote the town board requesting an interpretation or a modification to the zoning ordinance to permit short term room rentals in r~sidential zoned areas. Enclosed is an article from Sunday November 29, 1981 Newsday that describes how such bed and breakfast programs have spread in areas of the United States. Our tourim business is limited by the lack of enough motel rooms in our peak season which is about 12 weeks out of the year. Prospects of new large motels is slim and the bed and breakfast program could substitute for new large motels plus bring people who would not normally stay at a motel. Please initiate whatever action is required for Che residents of Southold Town to provide the bed and breakfast programs in their homes for the 1982 season. Fil~. __ JHB/bn Very truly yours, ~ohn H, Berryman, P~esident Greenpor~-Southold Chamber of Commerce cc: file Raymond Nine, Mattituck CtY%mher of Commerce - Sunday, Novembe · It's a growin trend in these United States, but it's not quite the continental version. By William Davis T~ HO3TFEST hospitality trend in the United States is an ancient British insti- tztion with a newly acqu/red but very definite American accent. B & B-~s in Bed and Breakfasters sweeping the nation much the way [he motel did in the 1950s and the country inn resurrects4 itself in the 1970s and began compet- ing with lhe motel· %~nether in greenest Gloucestershire or dus- tiest Dado:a, there is general agreement that a B & B is a p ace where, for an agreed-upon sum of money, the traveler is furnished with a room and breakfast In the morning. So far, m problem· It's the further definition, invol~ng as it does a detour deep into the Ameri- can national psyche, that gets complicated and corffusing, in Britain and Ireland, where B & B's are an old and accepted part of life, things are pretty straighttbrward. Over there, thP B & B of- fers clean, decent and respectable--but not luxu- includes a fifll British (or Irish) breakfast, i.e., tea or coffee, toast, eggs, bacon and or ham. The traditional British B & B is a ~rivate home in either the country or a small town where a housewife or widow supplements her income by taking in a %w guests, putting them up in spare · rooms and f~eding them with the rest of the fam- ily. It is a cozy, practical sort of instkutlon run by, and caterinf to, people who like people bur also have to watch their pounds and pence. British and Irish B & B places are easy to find· National tm~rist o~ces put out directories of them, tourist imt'ormation offices all have up-to- da~e lists and will even, for a small fee, "book a bed ahead" in towns spaced out along a traveler's plan_ned i:oute. And the places themselves display a ]&rge "B & B" si~n in a front window or nailed to a gatepost· A variant in larger towas and cities is the Bed and Breakfas~ hotei, a small hostelry something like an American guesthouse thor pray/des rooms ~d full breakfast at budget price,--but almost. always without private bath. They, too, always sport signs idcnti6'/ng them as a "B & B Hotel·" In the United Srates,~he clearest tking about ~e B & B movement is that it obviously fills a deepfelt need of the American traveler, one springing from both economic necessity and a de- · sire for a more human travel experience. But where the British B & B is usually opeu, simple and predictable, the evolving Ameri:an institution is not infrequently secretive, often complicated and highly variable· Reasons for tkis seem to include our national nervousness about talking to strangers, a passion for organization, and an enthusiasm ['or expansion and upscaling. Anyway, only the rare American B & B dis- plays an identifying sign: Host identities and ad- dresses are closely guarded. %Vhile in Britain a posh B & B would be a contradiction in terms, there are some In the U.S. that boast of their els- '- · - --Continued on Page 9 f --.., --.ContL~ued from Page.1 gent ambience and charge $100 or more a night And while ~he British B & 13 breakfast is invariably bacon and eggs, tho American one runs the gamut from warm orange juice and a stale danish to chilled- champagne and eggs benedict. There are now nearly 20 established B & B orga- nizations ser~dng major metropolitan and resort areas in the U.S.. at least a dozen more in the start- lng-up siege, and probably hundreds being planned. Most are primarily regional groups, but a a few-- such as the Bed and Breakfast League Ltd.--have made a concerted effort to go national. The League boasts listings in 22 states and a national roll-&ce reservations number. BroaCly speaking, American B & B's fall into three categories: Rooms in private homes available only through membership in a B & B club or associ- ation of )me sort; roome in homes or guesthouses that can be booked thredgh a central reservation service; and rooms in conventional inns or hotels-- usually small and atmospheric--that offer special breakfast packages. "Bed and Breakfast cuts across everything, and is as long as it's broad," says Norman T. Simpson, author of "Bed & Breakfast--American Style" (Berkshire Traveler Press, $6.05), which lists 170 B & B's all over the United States and Canada. Simpson cheerfully admits that his B & B defini- tion bears little resembl~.nce to the British one and is hardly rigid: "It's a good place to stay where you can get a good breald'ast---a negative definition. Would be a warm, friendly place that serves break- fast and isn't a motel." The American B & B phenomenon, like so many contemporary trends, seems to have originated in California. That state also has led the way in shat- tering B & B's budget image. For example, The Bed and Breakfast Inn, a 10-room "pension" in down- town San Francisco, charges up to $148 per couple for a room with bath and continental breakfast. OTHER California offerings are not quite that high--but are not exactly rock-bottom ei- ther. San Francisco Private Room Service, 2185-A Union St., San Francisco, Calif. 94123, (415) 931-3083, has about 100 inspected listings of homes and yachts in the San Francisco area, Monterey and Carmel, at $35 single, $45-$60 double, yachts $80- $100 (higher for one night), all with full breakfast. Bed and Breakfast International (151 Ardmore Rd., Kensington, Calif. 94707, [415] 525-4569) lists about 300 homes, most $35-$45 for two and most on the West Coast and in Hawaii. A $25 membership fee is applicable against room charges. And California Bed & Breakfast (P.O. Box 1551, Sacramento, Calif. 95807) arranges "tour" bookinge only--you must book at least two places--at 30 homes mainly in ~alifornia. Hosts and guests pa}' a .$15 membership fee, and rates are $15-$30 a day single or double. Elsewhere in the country., the local or regional B & B organization continues to proliferate. Pineap- ple Hospitality was founded in the old whaling city of New Bedford, l~Iass., in January. It now has some 75 member houses around New England and a long list of would-be hosts. Mrs. Joan Brownhil], Pineapple Hospitality president, said the group was founded to meet sever- al nee~: "There were thousands of tourists coming to New Bedford but no place for them to stay and we had all these beautiful, historic homes which young couples had restored but were having trouble keep- ing up. I thought, wouldn't it be wonderful if these homes that were lying dormant could meet the needs of travelers." Pineapple Hospitality--a name deriving from the fact that in colonial times, serving so expensive a delicacy as pineapple was a symbol of ali-out hos- pitality-was an immediate success, and quickly spread beyond the confines of New Bedford. Rates for Pineapple Hospitality are $18-$25 sin- gle, $25-$40 double, but Mrs. Browuhill thinks sav- ing money isn't the main reason most people choose xhe B & B route. "About 80 per cent o four guests are professional people who could afford to stay any- where," she says. "A growing number of people want to have contact with other human beings in the places that they visit." Ail listed homes are inspected by the organiza- San Fsw~isco-ann offerings rv. nge from a $38 double in th~ cozy ht~t'y of the Bed and Bn~akfust Inn, above, al tion. Would-be guests can call a central reservation desk, (617) 990-1696, and after verbally filling out a registration form are ma~ched with a suitable host. Addresses are given out only to "cleared" guests. "We respect the privacy of our host homes," says Mrs. Brownhilh If time permits, guests are asked to send in a deposit. Otherwise they pay their B & B host, who in turn pays a commission to Pineapple Hospitality. Ir~forn~ation: Pineapple Hospitality at 384 Radney l%ench Blvd., New Bedford, Mass. 02744. Also in New England is American Bed & Break- fast (P.O. Box 983, St. Albans, Vt.. 05478). This is a Northeast-area network o£ 42 inspected host homes, including working dairy farms. All are open year- round and most feature some type of sports or out- door attraction nearby. Ra~es are $15-$18 single, $20-$28 double. Travelers, who contact the guest- houses directly, are asked to send a self-addressed stamped envelope for a listing. In a warmer clime, Florida Suncoast Bed & Breakfast offers rooms in about 55 homes, from con- dominiums to beach houses, in the Tampa Bay-Gul£ Coast areas. Rates are $16-$20 single, $20-$40 dou- ble, discounts for longer stays. A directory costs and all bookings are made through the organizati~m (Contact Ms. Carol J. HarL P.O. Box 12, Palm Har- bor, Fla. 33553; [813] 784-5118.) · . .The B & B concept has even spread to Hawaii-- and that gives the classic British breakfast one more twist. The Hawaii meal might include papaya, mango, breadfruit and pineapple juice. Bed & Breakfast Hawaii, Box 449, Kapaa, Hawaii 96746, (808) 822-1582, offers rentals from Oahu to Maul and the Big Island. On Kauai, for example, a room with a bath, midway between Hans]el and Waimea canyons costs $I4 single, $19 double. And on Maul, $17 single or $22 double will get you an old cane t~ $140 ~ver cout~ isa done up Japm~ese teahouse style, simply ~r- ~ed with mats, pillows, Iow rubles, fi~tons, shared h, hot plate and outdoor shower, just three blocks tn the ocean. There's a $5 membership foe for a ~.ctory that gives description~ of the homes but addresses; the oiganization makes the bookings, The national Bed and Breakfast League takes a .ilar privacy-protecting view of its 132 hosts, who · a $50 annual fee as well as a commission. The gUe's toll-frse reservation number is available y to its "guest members," who pay annual fees of i single, $25 a couple, The directory they receive s general locations of hosts; the member then ,ks through the league, at rates of $18-$30 single, !-$42 double· The higher prices are in major cities, ~- $42 rats, for example, is in New York City, where 30 for a first-class hotel room is not uncommon. The club concept, which involves screening ~'sts as well as inspecting hosts, is attractive to .ny. "It's the tenor of the times in America," says gue director Diana MacLeish. "People don't feel nfortable about hanging out a sign and having ybody walk in... It's more strnctured than in .gland and we're more concerned about strangers." Founded in 1978, the league has headquarters at 55 29th St., N.W., Washinfften, D.C. 20008; (202) 2-8718. It is growing rapidly. "We have a list of .ut 200 prospective hosts waiting to be inspected," vs Mrs. MacLeish. Though the American B & B is ~wing less and less like the Eoxopean version~ Eu- eons are among the league's most enthusiastic ~rabers. Mrs. MacLeish says about 25 per cent of ~ league's 800 members are foreign and the per- stage is on the rise. The league is in contact with other B & B organi- :ions and makes use of their services to supple- nt its own roster. "We can book someone right 'oss the country now," Mrs. MacLeish says.

Paterson Enclosure An Overview of' b"hapter 707 of' Lhe Laws of 1301 On Hovember 21, 1980 the entire country vms shocked by the deaths of 84 people in a fire at the MGi-I GranJ Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Less than two weeks later "the fire that could not happen here" did, killing 26 people and injuring 24 more at Stouffer's Inn in Harrison, New York. Tnat same day eleven ether people died in fires across l~ew York State. Such incidents called into question the adequacy of bu~ldlng and fire codes in the state and the effectiveness of their enforcement. To investigate these issues Governor Carey convened a Special Fire Safety Task Force chaired by Secretary of State Basil A. Paterson. Chapter 707 of the La~.~s of 1981 implements the Task Force's recommendations. ?rte Task Force found that a single, adequate, enforceable building and fire code does not exist in the state. There is instead a multiplicity of codes and code making a~thorities. Even so, extensive areas of the state have no code at all for the benefit of ti~e general public. To remedy this the new law requires a ~Ie~ York S~ate Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code to be applicable sta~ewide effective January l, 1984. In the interim, to protect the public %.,~ere no codes exist, the State Building Construction Code (Executive Law, Article 18) and the State Building Conservation and Firs Prevention Code (Executive Law, Article 18-A) will be applicable beginning l~'~rch 1, 1982 in every local gover~nent which does not on that date have in effect such a code or which later repeals such a co~e. Local governments ~hich have a building code or fire co~e will not be immediately affected by the new law. The Uniform Code will be developed by a broadly representative seventeen mem- ber council composed of state officials, loc_al officials, the fire service, and the construction industry. Thcs will insure input from those by and against %~orn the code will be enforced. ~e council vf~ll also periodically review the Uniform Code to ensure that it rermins up-to-date. Local governments will be able to adopt more restrictive provisions for con- etruction within their boundaries. /hey may also petition the council for a deter- mination that their local codes are as stringent as the Uniform Code; if so, the local codes could remain in effect. Local governments r~my also act on related matters as to %~ich the code is silent. Enforcement of the code will be a local responsibility. Local gove~ents could join together for enforcement of the code, or could agree directly with the county for county enforcement of the code. Local governments and counties could "opt out" of enforc&ment by local law, ~ereupon the state would be the enforcer of last resort. %.~?~ere local enforcement arid a~v~inistration is inadequate, the Secre- tary of State may, after holding hearings, take corrective action. ' The Secretary of State ~;ill administer an aid program for support of fire pre- vention and building code activities in local governments. Funds are allocated under new § 5~-g of the State Finance Law in part on the basis of population and in part on the basis of property value. In addition to its provisions for the Uniform Code the new law addresses fire safety in areas of public assembly. Dealing v~ith the interior and finishes rather than the structure of areas of public assembly, the new requirements will apply to buildings constructed after April l, 1982. Existing buildings will have until April l, 1985 to come into compliance.
