Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr.
Justice Raymond W. Edwards
Town Clerk Judith T. Terry
Town Attorney Robert }V. Tasker
SUPERVISOR PELL: This is a petition for a cbange of zone from
"A" Residential and Agricultural District to "M-I" on Route 48
in Greenport. The legal notice will be read by Councilman
Townsend.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: "Pursuant fo Section 265 of the Town Law and
requirements of the Zoning Code of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County, New York, a public hearing will be held by the Town Board
of the Town of Southold at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road,
Southold, New York at 8;15 P.M. on Tuesday, August 9, 1983 on the
proposal of Lawrence Bruno to amend the Zoning Code (including
the Building Zone Maps) of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County,
New York, by changing from "A" Residential and Agricu]tural District
to "M-I" General Multiple Residence District ali that certain plot,
pice or parcel of land, situate, lying and being near Greenport, in
the Town of Southold, County of Suffolk and State of New York, bounded
and described as follows:" If there are no objections, I will ask
that the reading of the legal description be waived. (No objections.)
"Any person desicing to be heard on the above proposed amendment
should appear at the time and place above so specified. Dated:
July 19, 1983. Judith T. Terry, Southo]d Town Clerk."
I have an affidavit of publication by Patricia Wood of the
Long Island Traveler-Watchman and Joan Gustavson of the Suffolk
Times and an affidavit by Judith T. Terry, Town Clerk, stating
it was posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board.
Page 2 - Public He_bring - I. awrence Bruno Change of Zone Application
We have comments from the Department of Planning, County of
Suffolk, resolving to "disapprove it because of the following:
1. It is inconsistent with the Town of Southold Development Plan
which designates this area for agricultural-single family residence
development; 2. If is inconsistent with the pattern of zoning in
the surrounding area and therefore must be considered as "spot
zoning"; 3. It would tend to establish a precedent for further
downzonings in the locale along Middle Road (C.R. 48); and 4.
There appears to be ample land available for multi-residence/motel
purposes in the surrounding area. Lee E. Koppelman, Director of
Planning, signed by Gerald G. Newman, Chief Planner."
I have a notice from the Southold Town Planning Board resolving
to "recommend denial for the change of zone from "A" Residential
and Agricultural District to "M-i" General Multiple Residence
District with regard to the petition of Lawrence Bruno, on certain
property located near Greenport, for the following reasons with
reference to application of Maidstone Development, Inc., February
25, 1980 resolution of the Planning Board: 1. The Board considers
this to be spot zoning. 2. It would set a precedent in the area
for further downzoning of property. Signed by Henry E. Raynor, Jr.,
Chairman."
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Joe.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I also have a letter from William Lieblein
of the Port of Egypt in favor of the motel rezoning application as
he calls it, stating that we need more motel space. That's the
only other letter that has been received on that.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: We also have a letfer from Irving L. Price, Jr.
on behalf of the adjoining property owners, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Crystal,
in opposition.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. You've heard the reading of the public
notice. Does anybody wish to be heard in favor of this application
for a zone change? Does anybody wish to speak on its behalf? Ms.
Wickham?
ABIGAIL A. WICKHAM, Attorney, l~attituck, New York: Now that we're
at the height of our summer tourist season I think there can be no
argument that there are more and more people visiting this area and
yet there has been, to my knowledge, no recent increase in motel
capacity in Southold Town. Before addressing the merits of our
application, I would like to introduce to you Lawrence and Joan
Bruno, who are seated in the front row, who have summered here for
many years and who are now the owners and operators of a family
run motel Jn Ostero, Florida. They have been in this business
for sixteen years and wish to relocate to the North Fork on a
permanent basis with their children. Being experienced in this
area of motel operations and having a strong familiarity with the
North Fork, they have given the area a thorough overview in terms
of suitable land availability and financial viability for such a
venture. The fact is that this is the only waterfront parcel they
were aisle to locate in the Southold-Greenport area that was available
and suitable for this type of venture. Fortunately we think it is
well suited in that it is on a major east-west road, County Route
Page 3 Public H~ ring - Lawrence Bruno Chan~ of Zone Application
48. It is on Long Island Sound. It is near the Village of
Greenport and other business zoned areas and it's also in close
proximity to other "M-i" parcels. I would like to introduce as,
I believe it would be Exhibit I, a copy of the Suffolk County
Tax Map showing this area and surrounding parcels.
(Exhibit I color coded copy of Su£folk County Tax Map showing
the parcel in question and surrounding parcels.)
MS. WICKHAM: To just briefly describe it for you, this parcel
is shown in green and the zoning of the surrounding parcels is
also colored in, specifically eight large nearby parcels of "M-i"
zoning, several business zoned areas, including the nursing home,
the campground and the areas along Route 25, municipally owned
property in yellow, and the remainder of property left in white
which is zoned "A" Residential. You will also note that the Exhibit
I shows some squares located on the "A" zone parcels, and those
are indicating that most of those "A" zone parcels on Long Island
Sound, on either side of this property, already contain residents.
That's what those little boxes are, and also that those parcels are
all less than three acres in size. I believe the largest is 2.7
acres, so that the likelihood, I think, of there being any further
downzoning in this area is small. This is not a case of spot zoning
because there are already similarly zoned parcels of property in
the immediate vicinity of this property and I believe their existence
therefore takes this property out of that spot zoning category.
Another reason it's not spot zoning is because this is the only
large parcel left along the Sound in this strip. The others are
at most half the size ~ind most are considerably smaller. So this
parcel may be distinguished on that basis. As to environmental
considerations, SEQR process has resulted in a negative declaration,
which I believe you have in your file as part of the record. More-
over, the property would be serviced by both public water and public
sewer. James Monse]l o£ the Village of Greenport sent a letter to
the Southold Town Planning Board when it considered this project,
saying that upon negotiation of the usual contract with the Village,
both water and sewer service could be allocated to this parcel. Since
you did not mention having that letter as a part of your files at the
outset of this hearing, I would appreciate an opportunity ~o £urnish
a copy of it to you for the record as Exhibit II.
(Exhibit II - Letter dated April 18, 1983 from James I. Monsell,
Superintendent of Public Utilities, Village of Greenport to Ms.
Abigail A. Wickham re: supplying the Bruno property with water
and sewer demands.)
MS. WICKHAM: The water and sewer lines run along Route 48 in front
of and on the other side of the road on this property. I find that
the Su£folk County Planning Commission's comments that there appears
to be ample land in ~he area for motels, multiple use curious. As
the Board knows, the area around the nursing home is designated
for San Simeon's project. Mr. Bruno found that the area across
the street from the nursing home on the sound, which is zoned "M-i"
was not available for sale. In fact, one parcel is already a motel,
the Sunset Motel, and others contain summer residences or vacant
land which is just as likely to be developed £or condominiums as
for motels, particularly due to their smaller size. The 17 acre
Page 4 - Public Hc~ring - Lawrence Bruno Chan~e of Zone Application
parcel south of Route 48 has, I have been told, been purchased for
condominium purposes, not for motel. In fact~ Mr. Bruno attempted
to buy that property but before he was able to put in an offer he
had been told it was sold. The 23~ acre parcel off Queens Lane is
used for campground purposes. Therefore, that observation of Suffolk
County Planning Commission, is without merit. As to amenities, a
motel will provide an excellent tax base and a much needed facility
for our important tourist population. Tax revenues generated will
not be offset by the larger strain on our property tax dollars, mainly
school services. Mr. Bruno, although aware of the extreme seasonal
nature of the business, have had much experience in tourism matters,
and belleves that through promotions and organizations he can extend
the season well into fall and spring and also into winter holiday
periods. Since he plans to build a high-quality, energy-efficient
physical plant which he would not want to see closed up during the
winter and subject to freezing, and since he intends to live there
with his family year-round, he does plan to keep the motel open
throughout the year. That's providing some steady employment
year-round. Of course there would be considerable employment in
season in addition. To the extent permitted by site plan, he also
intends to provide health and exercise facilities which will serve
the community year-round and provide additional jobs. Now we're
obviously aware that some of the neighbors have reacted negatively
to this proposal. As fo their fear of property value deflation,
we need only look a~ the strong and escalating market for Sound
frontage, a rapidly deminishing market I might add~ in order to
allay their fears in that regard. Their concern, at least, is to
two immediate neighbors regarding the disturbance from a motel
facility, is a realistic one, but I believe it can be controlled
by careful site plan considerations, by screening, fencing, screen-
ing of lights, and similar measures. Danger of bluff erosion can
also be controlled by environmentally sound and proven measures.
In summary, we are fortunate to have a ready, willing, able and
experienced family anxious to service an important industry on a
parce~ of property well suited and located for that purpose. I
thank you very much for your consideration.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anybody else wish to make comments
in favor of this zone change from "A" to "M-i" on Route
Southold. Anybody wish to speak in opposition to it? Mr. Price.
IRVING L. PRICE, JR., Attorney, Greenport: I represent Bert
Crystal, the adjoining landowner who will be disturbed unless
it's very carefully controlled, and he happens to own 2.7 acres,
and if you will look at this Exhibit I---he ownes these two
parcels, 19 and 16.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Right to the west.
MR. PRICE: Yes. There's a saying about zoning that's been around
as long as zoning. Zoning is never appreciated as much as i~ is
appreciated by people who have something moving nex~ door to them
and they are attempting to keep it from moving. Now, let's dispense
with the approval of William Lieblein. He happens to live at 141
Central Avenue, Greenport, New York, and you couldn't put a motel
within 100 yards of him if you didn't knock down a whole lot of
Page 5 - Public H, ring - Lawrence Bruno Chanb~ of Zo~e Application
buildings and assemble a whole lot of parcels, so it's no skin off
of h~s nose when he says we ought to have a motel up next to Bert
Crystal. That ought to dispose of him, except for the fact that
he's a Village Trustee. I would think that he'd have enough troubles
arr~[nging for zoning in the Village of Greenport, without worrying
about the Town of Southold. This is the second time around for this
parcel. Mr. Crystal has been put to trouble, expense, anguish,
because everybody wants to use that parcel for some use that is
not provided for. As far as Mr. Bruno having looked all over for
a comparable parcel, or better parcels, you can bet your life that
his contract to purchase that is subject to this change of zone,
and if it isn't, and he owns it, then there's a rule of law that
says self-imposed hardships are not to be relieved. He knew when
he bought it that it was residential, if he bought if and he owns
it now, and he couldn't pu~ a motel there. It's as simple as that.
He's looking for money too. Before, as Miss Wickham said, the
application in January 1980 by Maidstone was disapproved by ~he
County, by the Planning Board and by this Board unanimously, and
that was to erect 24 unit condominium. Eight three unit buildings.
And it was denied on the grounds of lack of water, spot zoning,
erosion of the Sound bank, and the County turned it down because
it was inconsistent with the Southold Town Development Plan and
it's agricultural designation, not "M-i", inconsistent with the
pattern of zoning, it is spot zoning, and it is spot zoning. There's
no consideration of a whole area here. The consideration is let's
take this choice residential property and make it motel, and as far
as my client is concerned, he has expended tremendous sums of money
relying on the fact that it was zoned residential next to him and
on the west also, and it's not fair to have him constantly coming
in to oppose something that he shouldn't have to oppose, because
it is residential. Lastly, at the Town Board meeting of February
15, 1983, on a motion by Councilman Murdock, seconded by Justice
Edwards, unanimously approved, declared duly adopted, the applicant
was required to submit a Long Form Environme~tal Impact Statement.
I don't find any record.
SUPERVISOR PELL: It hasn't been received yet.
MR. Pt~ICE: Well, then you shouldn't be having the hearing. You
have no jurisdiction. You required, on February 15th, and I do
submit that putting a motel next to a nice year-round residence
is a depreciation ol' the year-round residence value and again I
say it's unfair since he has expended his sums of money in reliance
on this remaining residential. And as far as the objection that
the County raised that it will set a precedent for further down-
zoning, Miss Wickham said that wouldn't happen. She said that in
her preamble. Then she said, towards the end of her presentation,
that these parcels that have little squares on, they show vacant
residences. My client's is not a vacant residence, and that it
will not have any precedence toward having it revised to motel.
I make the statement right here that if this is granted every one
of those people will want to have motel zoning and they'll have
applications and it can't help be a precedent. There's plenty of
motel space now. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you~ Mr. Price. In the back, Mr. Trent.
Page 6 - Public H~ _ring - Lawrence Bruno Chan~ of Zone Application
MR. MARTIN TRENT, Orient, New York; I ask that the Town Board
deny this request for down-zoning for the reasons enumerated by
the Suffolk County Planning Co~nission and the Southold Town
Planning Board and I'd like to add one more. I think that the
Master Plan Update that's in progress will tell us where more
motels are needed and if they're needed and designate Chose areas
where they should be placed at on a spot-zoning basis. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Ruth Oliva.
MRS. RUTH OLIVA, President, North Fork Environmental Council: I
think I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but we do not
think that the Town Board should approve or disapprove any zone
changes until the Master Plan is updated, otherwise why are we
spending a hundred thousand or eighty thousand dollars? You
fellows could have done it in Che beginning. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Mrs. Jean Tiedke.
MRS. JEAN TIEDKE, League of Women Voters:
and Mrs. Oliva.
say amen to Mr. Trent
SUPERVISOR PELL: Mr. Bruer.
RUDOLPH BRUER, Attorney, Southold: I represent a Mr. Petrucci and
a Mr. Pringle. They also object to this motel use and the change
ef zone on this property primarily, I guess, along the lines set forth
by Mr. Price. I would like at this point to take extreme objection
to the hearing being scheduled at all prior to this impact statement
being filed, particularly since it was required by the Board. I think
it's an essential elemen~ of what the Board should be considering
tonight and I think it should be available to the public and the
people who like to respond to it prior to the hearing and I don't
think this hearing should be conducted or concluded until that is
available. With respect to that again I would like to say I represent
people who bought property there relying on the zoning that was there,
relying that in the future they believed that this would be used as
residential proper~y and not multiple, and not mote]. I believe
that the zoning being requested here could be used for other multiple
uses. Again and going beyond this, I think there should be--if the
Board even considered, I mean really seriously considers accepting
this plan, I think it should lock itself into something concrete and
not something that is vague and is a vague promise of something
happening in the future, like motel use. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you.
opposition to? ~Ir. Pfeffer.
Any other comment at this time in
MR. MARTIN PFEFFER, Greenport: I live about three doors away from
Mr. Crystal, and I don't have three or four acres, I've got about
2.3 or 2.5. I know that if this zoning thing goes through you're
going to have another one, because I will do it and I have enough
trouble now. They talk about the campgrounds, people come down,
they drink beer, they walk on the beach, they smash bottles. My
grandchildren have cut feet. We can't even go down there to swim.
I am definitely opposed to it.

SUPERVISOR PELL: Anybody else wish to be heard in opposition to?
Mrs. Latham.
MRS. KATHLEEN LATHAM, Orient, New York: Yes, I notice this is a
change of zone and I'm just wondering under what circumstances
to you change a zone? Can you tell me why you change a zone?
SUPERVISOR PELL: The Town Board, when requested, reviews the
application for a change of zone. If it finds it's in the best
interest and so deems it proper---
MRS. LATHAM: In the best interest of whom?
SUPERVISOR PELL: The Town.--it can change the zone change.
MRS. LATRAM:
to waif until
in zone.
Thank you. And I just think that it would be better
you have the Town Plan before you make any changes
SUPERVISOR PELL: Public hearings are held to have the residents
have input so we can consider their request. That's what we're
doing tonight.
MRS. LATRAM: Okay, that's my request. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anybody else wish to be heard in
opposition to? (No response.) Are there any other con~ents?
MRS. LAWRENCE BRUNO: I feel very badly that Mr. Price feels that
way. We're a family and we took our children---
MR. PRICE: Mrs. Bruno, I don't feel that way.
MRS. BRUNO: I'm sorry. We're a family and we took our children
down to Florida and fortunately or unfortunately my husband is
~n the motel business. He builds them, I run them~ and when we
decided to bring back our grandchildren and raise them out here,
we looked around and we have been looking for three years, and
many of the realtors in Town will tell you, they know me, because
he drags me along to every piece of property he looks at. We had
a piece about two years ago we thought we were going to buy and
it was the right zoning. We don't want to hurt anybody, we don't
want to upset anyone, but we would like to relocate, and we love
it out here. Sure, we're going to make money, but we're going to
work very hard as a family run operation. You will see one of the
boys out ~here with a tractor killing himself. You'll see another
boy out there running the office, and you'll see my little grand-
son probably helping one of those kids. We're not up here to change
what's going on. We're saying to you if something is going to be
built, a motel, then let a family like ours run ii, because for
sixteen years we've been running [wo very good ones, and anyone
who wants to come down and ~ake a look at it. We're not going to
have strangers there, we're going to have Town people working
there, we're going to have family working there, we're not out
here to hurt you and I'm sure that you probably will have the best
neighbors in the world with Mr. and Mrs. Bruno running a motel. I

SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other comment? Miss Wickham.
blS. ABIGAIL WICKHAM: I'd just like to address this issue of the
Long Form Environmental Assessment Form. I understood that due
to the fact that on July 20th, 1983 there was a Negative Declara-
tion issued on the basis of the Short Form Environmental Assessment
and the lack of response from D.E.C. and the fact that a hearing
was scheduled tonight, that that was no longer required. If the
Board wants it, we'll furnish it, but I do not believe that it is
required. I think that the SEQR process has been addressed.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Mr. Price?
MR. IRVING PRICE: I don't know anything about the SEQR process, but
the rules of Roberts Law have not been applied.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other comments?
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Gall, how many units are going to be in this
motel?
MS. WICKHAM: The number that is permitted under current zoning
because of the public water and sewer would be approximately 50
to 52. The current zoning density and the availability of public
water, the number is between 50 and 52. It would, of course, depend
on the site plan of the Planning Board.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Mrs. Olive.
MRS. OLIVA: How many acres is that, Gall?
MS. WICKHAM: The property contains 5.2 acres.
that is how many units would be available for
transient units, they're not living units.
I might mention that
motel and those are
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other Councilmen have anything you want to ask?
(No response.) If not, are you ready to close the hearing, gentlemen?
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Are we resolved with the EIS or not resolved?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: You have done a Negative Declaration, so I don't
see where you can go back and do it over again.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Mrs. Oliva, before we close the hearing.
MRS. OLIVA: I think I'd just like to repeat that we're not against
motels or the building of motels, or even the specific project, we're
against doing anything of this sort, any change of zone, until the
Master Plan is updated. Then we can decide just where these things
should be put. Perhaps it is the proper place, perhaps it isn't.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Mrs. Tiedke?
Page 9 - Public h .ring - Lawrence Bruno Chanoe of Zone Application
MRS. TIEDKE: I support Ruth Oliva again.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Mr. Bruer?
MR. RUDOLPH BRUER: Just one question, Mr. Supervisor and members
of the Board. In light of the prior hearing that was heard here
and the traffic problems that were addressed at that time, has there
been any issued raised or answers or questions asked with respect
to the traffic that this would bring on al~nost that same road, in
light of the additional condominium units that has been admitted
that will be coming right in the near vicinity, like across the
street, I think, as well as that campground? Thaf's a lot of
units to come in on that same road that we're talking about that's
going to be servicing all these people going from Orient Point down
to New York City. I don't know, has anybody asked that question and
has the questions been answered?
SUPERVISOR PELL:
of this time.
The questions haven't been asked or answered as
MR. BRUER: Thank you very much. I think they should be.
SUPERVISOR PELL:
Councilmen?
Any other comment before we close the hearing?
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: I'm a little concerned about that February 15th
resolution. I don't know---I think at one point we better sit down
with the Town Attorney and make sure that that resolution either has
to be rescinded.
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: As I understand it, under the process, your
first step is an application. You can request the Long Form or a
Short Form, and then you make a determination as to whether or not
it is likely to have an environmental effect. You presumably have
accepted the Short Form and then made your determinatio~l. Row
you then thereafter required a Long Form is beyond me, I don't know.
MR. PRICE: I believe a determination was made after.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: I think we required the Long Form first and
that wasn't done.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Mr. Bruno would like to make a corament.
MR. LAWRENCE BRUNO: Listening to everybody speak tonight and
to some of the arguments that were put forth, however some were
not. I just want to stress the very important facf that I'm not
new to the area. Since '55 I raised my kids on what used to be
the Ray Derrick property in Orient. Then we spent man5· summers
at different motels, so I just wanted to add I'm not here splish
splash and in and out. The other statement that was made that
I might not build a motel, I might go to condominiums. If the
Council wants something to that effect, then I'd be more than
happy to supply it. As far as your embankment, they have setback
laws that are to my interest to make the place attractive and not
disturb the embankment so you have erosion. Another question that
was brought was tbe water. You do have city water there, so we are
Page 10 - Public ~earing - Lawrence Bruno Change of Zone Application
affecting any water. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other comment?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'd like to ask a question of Gall. When
we were asked Co move on this I had not realized--I didn't go back
into my files and realize that we had asked for a Long Form Ellviron-
mental Impact Statement and why was not a Long Form Environmental
Impact Statement presented to the Town Board for their perusal?
MS. WICKRAM: The very first thing on the top of this Long Fol~m
Environmental Statement says that it's designed to assist in
determining whether the action proposed may have a significant
effect on the environment, and Article 44 of your Coded under
Article 44 you designated yourselves as Lead Agency. On July 20th
you apparently determined, for the reasons stated in your resolution,
that this project ilas no significant effect on the environment.
Apparently you made that decision based on the information then
in your file. Therefore, when the hearing was scheduled I did
not understand it would be necessary and I do not believe it is
now necessary to submit that Long Form Environmental Assessment
Statement. I think you've made your SEQR determination based on
the reasons you stated in the Negative Declaration.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Whac I'm wondering is in February you were
requested to make a Long Form and you decided not to for some reason?
MS. WICKHAM: No, I wrote to Young and Young and I had been waiting
for them to do i~. I had prepared most of it, frankly, and there was
a few questions that I could not answer and that our surveyor could
no~ answer in terms of depth to bedrock, slopes, technical information.
They had not yet furnished iC co me when this July 20th declaration
came in I asked them to stop. It wasn't that I didn't go ahead and
do anything on it, it was in process.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Gentlemen, I'd like to recess this meeting tonigh~
until I get a chance to break out the February 15th minutes, research
it and we'll Calk to Counsel about it, what form we are in. No
objections?
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: So long as it's net recessed past this evening.
Recess called at 9:30 P.M., reconvened at 9:40
SUPERVISOR PELL: We reopen the hearing on the change of zone
applica~ion of Lawrence Bruno. The Town Board did discl[ss the
points raised tonight by Mr. Price and other people here. We did
discuss it with Town Counsel and it is the opinion of the Board
that the hearing at this time can be closed and will be closed.
The hearing on the application of Lawrence Bruno is closed. Thank
you very much.

Dear Sirs:
The rezoning of a 5 acre parcel on the
North side of tlle North Road in Greenport,
to 21-1 general multiple residence as
requested by Lawrence Bruno.
We are in total support of Lawrence Bruno's request
for the rezoning of a 5 acre parcel on the Sound side
of the North Road in Greenport for a proposed motel.
As you well know, t]%e summer season is imperative to
the financial earnings of this town. ~;e feel the
operation of a high quality motel would definitely'
have a favorable economic impact on this area. Not
only would this project contribute to tax dollars and
year round employment,but, it would be one large step
in rejuvenating the Greenport/Southold area.
During the summer season, it is impossible to get
waterfron~ accommodations on short notice. This
project will allow for more accommodations,and, i~ turn,
bring more people to the North Fork. ~';e hope you will
review this proposal in the right prospective, keeping
in mind the economic impact this project would have
not only during the summer season bdt year round.

Pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law
State Environmental Quality Review and 6 NYCRR Part 617, Section
617 10 and Chapter 44 of the Code of the Town of Soutbold, notice
is hereby given that the Southold ~own Board, as lead agency for
the action described below, has determined that the project, which

DESCHIPT[ON OF ACTION
Application of Lawrence Bruno for a change of zone from "A"
Residential aad Agricultural District to "M-i" General Multiple
Residence District on certain property located on the north side
of County Route 48 (Middle Road), near Greenport, in the Town of
$outhold, New York.
The project has been determined not to have a significant
effect on the environment for the following reasons:
An environmental assessment has been submitted which
indicated that no significant adverse effects to the
enTironment are likely to occur should the project be
implemented as planned.
Because there has been no response in the allotted time
from the New York Staze Department of Environmental
Conservation, it is assumed that there is no objection
nor comments by that agency.

Re:
Application of "Lawrence Bruno" (Case No. 255)
for a change of zone from "A" Agricultural and
Residential to '~-1" General Multiple-Residence,
Town of Southold (SD-83-6).
Dear Ms. Terry:
Pursuant to the requirements of Sections 1323 to 1332 of the Suffolk County
Charter, the Suffolk County Planning Commission on July 6, 1983 reviewed the
above captioned applfcation and after dne study and deliberation Resolved to
disapprove it because of the following:
It is inconsistent w~th the Town of Southold Development Plan which
designates this area for agricultural-single family residence de-
velopment;
2. It is inconsistent with the pattern of zoning in the surrounding
area and therefore must be considered as "spot zoning";
It would tend to establish a precedent for further downzonings in
the locale along b~ddle Road (C,R. 48); and
There appears to be ample land available for multi-residence/motel
purposes in the surrounding area.

2. I do hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of Southold to change, modify and
amend the Building Zone Ordinance of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York,
including the Building Zone Maps heretofore made a part thereof, as follows:
To rezone the property described in Schedule A from "A" Agr±cultural
and Residential to "M-i" General HulE±ple Residence D±sErict.
Such
(a)
request is made for the following reasons:
The premises are in the midst of M-1 and B zoning districts and
the proposed zoning would be compatible with surrounding uses.
(b) There is a need in Southold Town for additional motel uses to
serve the tourism trade, and the waterfront location makes this
parcel feasible for a successful motel operation. Because of
the strong demand for waterfront property, there is a rapidly
decreasing availability of waterfront parcels of sufficient size
and suitable location for accommodation of our tourist poplution.
(c) Therewill be minimal impact upon the environment due to the avail-
ability of publid water and sewer facilities.
