Dated: March 28, 1974 BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD ALBERT W. RICHMOND TOWN CLERK Proof of publication was presented from the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler/Mattituck Watchman. The following letter under date of February 14, 1974 from the Southold Town Planning Board was read. Gentlemen: This is to inform you that the following action was taken by the Southold Town Planning Board at a regular meeting held on January 30, 1974. On motion made by Mr.Wickham, seconded by Mr. Grebe, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board recommend disapproval of the request for change of zone from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "M-i" General Multiple Residence District of certain property located at Cutchogue0 New York, known as Leisure Greens, Inc. 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 the people. This is not in conformity with the Master Plan and the Board does not consider it good use of this land. It appears on the surface that this type of land use would tend to landlock or create a block of the property to the north, east and west. A copy of the letter from the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce recommending approval seems to be at variance with the expressed views of some of the businessmen in the village. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grebe, Moisa, Abstained: Mr. Raynor Absent: Mr. Coyle wickham The following letter was received from the Suffolk County Department of Planning under date of February 11, 1974. Leisure Greens, Inc. -3- April 23, 1974 Gentlemen: Please be advised that pursuant to Sections 1323 to 1332 of the Suffolk County Charter, the above captioned application is not within the jurisdiction of the Suffolk County Planning Commission. /s/ Lee F. Koppelman by Gerald G. Newman Mr. Martocchia: You have heard the legal notice, the description of the property, the proof of posting by the Long Island Traveler/ Mattituck Watchman and the Suffolk Weekly Times, the comments of the Southold Town Planning Board recommending disapproval and the comments of the Suffolk County Department of Planning which states it is not within their jurisdiction. I will hear all those in favor of the application first and after that those wishing to speak in opposition and after that rebuttals or comments. At this time I will entertain anyone who wishes to speak in favor of the application. Gary Olsen, Esq.: My name is Gary Flanner Olsen and I am the attorney for the applicant. My main office is at Main Road, Mattituck, New York. I represent Leisure Greens, Inc., the petitioner herein, a New York corporation and a disclosure statement of the stockholders has been submitted with the application. My client is seeking to obtain a change of zone from "A: Residential and Agri- cultural District to "M-i" General Multiple Residence District of 46.16 acres in Cutchogue at the northerly end of Griffing Street which is the street on which the present Cutchogue Post office is located, directly to the north of that. At the outset, contrary to the impression from the Planning Board, no parcels surrounding this particular piece would become landlocked. The presentation of the zone change is to create a planned retirement community. It is my client's position that due to the large number of senior citizens in our town who call the Town of Southold their home, many were born and raised here. A real need exists for facilities for our senior citizens, citizens who not only contribute to the economy but have contributed talent to the area. It is encumbent on our town government to provide for our senior citizens who wish to remain in Southold but can't maintain their own homes and grounds and this ~kes care of their needs instead of moving out of the area to find such similar facilities. It is a very real need as shown by colonial Village. There is a long waiting list. It is attractive and a big success Leisure Greens, Inc. -4- April 23, 1974 and Leisure Greens would provide the same type of accommodations but this is a condominium concept. My client has retained the services of an architect for the layout and residential buildings and he will be available to answer any questions concerning same which you may have. I would like now to go over some of the design features. There would be 74 buildings with four living units, two of 1165.5 square feet with two bedrooms and two of 926.5 square feet with one bedroom. Multiply 74 by 4 and you have a total of 296 living units which density is less than the Southold Town requirements would permit. Sketches have been prepared of the outside of the units as well as for the design of the interior and the proposed layout. The design was prepared so the units would be attractive single stories. Two units in each building would have fireplaces. All would be condominiums. They would not be rentals. Every unit would be individually owned. The living units would comprise 7.52 acres. 38.63 acres remain open. On a percentage basis, the build- ings would comprise roughly 16% of the acreage and 84% would remain open. The individuals would be responsible for the interior maintenance and the corporation or a homeowners' association would maintain the outside and the recreational building. It is expected the units would sell for 30 to 35 thousand dollars and there would be a monthly maintenance charge which the residents would incur for the outside maintenance and the public buildings. There would be a recreation hall and a swimming pool. The minimum age would be 55 or over for one of the owners and no children under eighteen years of age living in the units. All roads would be private and built to town specifications and parking would meet the code. Water and sewage would be constructed as to governmental require- ments. The water system would be sufficient to supply fire hydrants for the fire department and underwriter standards. I would like to review what the school tax consequence would be if this proposal was accepted. We have received from the Board of Assessors 14,300 for each building. The school tax is $7.61 per hundred. Each building, therefore, would have a school tax at the present rate of $1,088 or a total of $80,500. This doesn't count the land, the recreation hall or sewage disposal plant. The approximate school tax revenue would be $90,000. No children would be sent from this project to the school system so $90,000 worth of taxes would be generated with no increase to the school system. If this property were divided into single family one acre parcels - on 46 acres approximately 40 plots could be developed and taking a conservative figure of two children per family, there would be approximately eighty children costing $122,000. This is Leisure Greens, Inc. -5- April 23, 1974 based on school figures of $1,525 per pupil per year. Forty homes on approximately 1200 square feet would cost our taxpayers $109,000 opposed to a net gain of $90,000 for this plan. why should this project be approved? Why is this a good location? First of all, there is good access to the roads, the existing roads, school House Road leads out onto Depot Lane and North Street to Route 25 and Griffing Street to Route 25. This project would be close to public transportation. It would be handy for the senior citizens to get to the bus and it is quite close to the train station. There are four churches close by. The other stores are within walking distance, etc. It is also near a par 3 golf course and would be very convenient for the residents of this community and it is also close to the library. Ail of the above reasons make this an ideal location where a car is not a must. It is also a good location because it is set back from the Main Road. It is not readily visible. It would be a very secluded complex. It is not surrounded by an improved area. It is surrounded by open farmland. We have made presentations to various organizations. The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce has supported our concept and I will read that letter to you now. "At a regular menthly meeting of the Cutchogue-New suffolk Chamber of Commerce, held at the Fisherman's Rest, January 9th, 1974, architectural plans for a Senior citizens Planned Retirement Community were presented by Leisure Greens Inc. "Many questions were asked and answered and after much discussion a motion was made approving the architectural plans, site and type of housing and a change of zoning from residential to M-1 as presented by Leisure Greens Inc. It was seconded and unanimously approved. "The membership, at this time, felt that a project of this type would be an asset to the Cutchogue Village Community." /s/ Fred W. Kaelin, Jr. President For all of these reasons, I urge the Board to grant the pet- ition. It is a serious and meritorious application which would be given thoughtful consideration. It will satisfy a very real need by providing the senior citizens of Southold good living conditions and there is no question we need this type of project within our community. Leisure Greens, Inc. -6- April 23, 1974 I thought as I came up there is really, considering the size of this project, a relatively small turnout tonight. I think we are all aware that at public hearings the people are basically opposed to the proposals. Very seldom do you find people in favor of a project come out for it. People are well aware that this hearing was going to be held tonight and the turnout is surprisingly small which I think is an indication that the community is behind this project, that there is a need for it and it is a good proposal. Thank you. Mr. Martocchia: Is there anyone else who would like to speak in favor of this applications Fred Kaelin, Jr.: I am president of the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce. The chamber did vote to approve the approval of this plan and also of the approval of the change of zone. Patrick Gorman: As a resident of Cutchogue I am voting in favor and endorse it wholeheartedly. Robert Begley: I am a member of the Town of Southold. I was very much interested in the presentation and I noticed there was a comparison made between school taxes if we had this condominium development and forty families on the same acreage. I would like to add another point. I don't like to think just in terms of taxes. I like to think in terms of producing wealth. If you do not you have nothing to collect taxes from. In this development you have families who will be bringing wealth into this community and taking practically nothing from it. I think this is something that should be given serious consideration by the group. I also noticed in the preliminary statement that the Southold Town Planning Board disapproved this project and it was stated that they wanted no multiple resident developments between Mattituck and Southold. Does this apply to all multiple resident development? Are they aware of the fact there are different types of multiple resident develop- ments? This would be different than some sort of an urban renewal developed by an agency of the government. Mr. Martocchia: I don't know how much area that encompasses. Is there anyone else who would like to speak in favor of this petition? Is there anyone who wishes to speak in opposition? Alec Hargrove: I am the owner of Long Island Vineyards. We have purchased the property immediately to the north of Leisure Greens, Inc. It is my understanding that Leisure Greens has discussed their plan with all adjacent property owners. They have not talked to Leisure Greens, Inc. -7- April 23, 1974 me. (To Stanley sledjeski) You did after you represented so. I would like to clarify some points as I understand it so far. Leisure Greens, Inc. has submitted for a town zoning change from agricultural to multiple use. whatever they are proposing is secondary to the general change. It is not contingent on their specific proposal. It is not a selective change. A change would not bind them to what they are presenting this evening. Is that correct? Mr. Martocchia: Yes. Mr. Hargrove: It is my understanding that the Chamber of Commerce, which failed to notify me of the meeting although they did notify others, did vote to support the change as proposed. The distinction I am trying to make is that the chamber did not approve a general change to M-1. It was for this specific change for an elderly housing development, what they are approving is a specific plan when what the Town Board must consider is the approval of a general change to M-1. As a result of that I think it must be argued on general zoning. M-1 change gives motels, hotels and tourist camps and without a selective zoning change, the Town Board would be granting any zoning change regardless of the good faith of the people who are making the proposal. If they have taken 46 acres in the center of Cutchogue and plan to put 300 units, say 600 - 1200 people would occupy the buildings, I would like to point out there would be a 50% increase in Cutchogue. what this will do to Cutchogue's economy and Cutchogue is as much your guess as mine. I object to it on the grounds of density. There is ten times as many people as on any other land. It is too much for Cutchogue at this moment. I bought my land because it was in the center of an agricultural area. The pressures high density would exert on farming would be quite serious indeed. I don't know how the Board goes about deciding something like this. Does it look at individual land or the land next to it. There is one thing of clustering, and there will be single acre so it would be a poor way to use the land. Let me read to you the final statement on the petition to the Town Board. "Furthermore, the surrounding area would not be adversely affected, since it is presently farmland rather than homes." why wouldn't farmland be hurt? You could make that assessment until the last bit of farmland is gone. Give the farmland a chance. Ralph Todebush, Cutchogue: I have taken a few notes. First of all I would like to mention this concept of the master plan. I think according to the letter from Mr. Wickham, I think 85% have approved this plan and this plan is a guideline for orderly growth in this community and one of the purposes is to avoid crowding like we have Leisure Greens, Inc -8- April 23, 1974 in the west end. This proposal is outside the area recommended in the master plan for cluster housing. It seems to me that putting 74 buildings on 46 acres would make this a very crowded arrangement. I do not see how it could leave enough open space. I wonder whether the sewage plan is very adquate. I don't think it was too well explained. I would say if this proposal is approved, it could open the gates for other proposals in this area. Loraine Terry: I have a letter from Dr. White I would like to read. April 23, 1974 Information required for proper evaluation of water and waste disposal systems for multiple residences. 1. Type of tertiary sewer plant. 2. Manufacture - what has been his experience in this field? 3. plans for disposal of effluent? Injection wells, if so what is the proof that they will work, in the area to be used. What is the strata of the area, will it accept such effluent? 4. Plans for the disposal of the sludge? 5. will a licensed sewer plant operator be required? 6. what guarantee that the plant will work? 7. Has a schedule of fines been worked out for each day that effluent does not meet Health Department standards? As an alternative would a performance bond be more equitable? 8. If the project is built and the plant does not meet standards, how will a new plant be financed if a performance bond is not required. 9. who approves the final selection of the type of plant to be installed? 10. How will the plant be monitored, weekly, monthly, etc.? 11. Each 100 units will require 10,950,000 gallons of water per year. How many acres of land will be required to support this amount of water withdrawal, if injection wells are not possible? submitted by Prof. walter L. Smith Mr. Martocchia: I believe the attorney indicated he has someone with him who can answer some of the technical questions. Fir. Olsen: We have the architect who designed the layout and the exterior and interior of the units. Ed Hughes, Cutchogue: The Town Board has already said they would like to have acre zoning in the area and this would create less than Leisure Greens, Inc. -9- April 23, 1974 an acre. We have to consider the surrounding facilities for these elderly people, doctors, hospitals. In this area they are a scarcity. These things should be considered as well as the ecology. Mr. Wickham: I would like to speak on behalf of Wickham Fruit Farm. Eleven years ago Cornell University entered into an experiment with Wickham Fruit Farms to grow a particular kind of grape. It is the wine grape of the world. In America, it had only been grown west of the Rocky Mountains. We planted some two and a half acres of grapes. This experiment far exceeded anybody's ideas. On an experimental basis we have had twenty-six tons per acre. In upstate New York the grape section is only one-fifth of that. As a result of this experiment many of the wine growing companies of the east became definitely interested, and some individuals. You have heard Mr. Hargrove's testimony. Mr. Hargrove came here because of the successful experiments started by Cornell and because the Town of Southold has repeatedly said we want to keep agriculture in the Town of Southold. I have a little different background. I operate a fruit farm. There is nothing worse than people pollution if you have a fruit farm. We have had nothing but trouble with people and to think Of putting this many people next to a vineyard operation where a chap has come here with his wife, has made a very real investment and before he is finished planting this farm and erecting the winery that he plans for, he will have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested. I plead with you not to cut off any chance of his success. If this proves to be successful, it could well mean the establishment of a vitally important industry on Eastern Long Island. The assessed valuation of that total industry could far surpass the assessed valuation of the project before us. Here is a gentlemen and his wife with an experimental project talk- ing about sixty acres. There could be 60,000 acres in the Town of Southold because the ends justify the cost of the land. It is experimental but we have said we favor agriculture and we have an agricultural economy and we want to make the most of it. He is doing it for us and I think we should be appreciative. Now, I would like to change my hat and speak for the people of the Town of Southold as Chairman of the Planning Board. Something has turned up within the week which has a bearing on this case. I have in my hands some papers, copies of which the Town Board has, but these summarize in a few short words something which has happened. We have just received notice in the past week as regards a previous development of some of these principles. This other development, which I won't name ..... (At this point Supervisor Martocchia stopped Mr. Wickham and asked Mr. Robert Tasker, Town Attorney, to come to the table. He conferred with Mr. Tasker and after a few moments F~r. Olsen joined them.) Leisure Greens, Inc. -10- April 23, 1974 Mr. Martocchia: Mr. wickham, I feel at this point that I cannot allow you to speak for the Planning Board any further. The comments are here. You can't speak for the planning Board until you meet with them. We have to stay with the merits of the proposition before US. Peter Warren: Mr. Supervisor, you know on many occasions we had people out for the master plan. They were held in every area. I personally was at most of them and it took alot of time and planning to come up with that master plan and to think of this in the Town of Cutchogue with the problems that haven't even been discussed. It is unreal after all the trouble we went through for the master plan. The one acre zoning we fought for. Alot of people don't like it. This is one way to break it down. The water problem in Cutchogue. We have had meetings on the water. Cutchogue is the hub of the water for almost the whole town including Greenport. what this will do, I can only guess what might happen. I really hope that the Town Board takes a very good look at this and denies this application. Mr. Martocchia: The floor is now open for any other ideas. Martin Ahern: The gentleman made reasons to the type of zoning, that we could put motels and lodging houses and whatever. I am one of the principles. If this planned retirement community is granted, you can't put anything else in there. When it comes to the type of sewage all this is determined by the Health Department of New York State and Suffolk County and these standards have to be met. Everything has to be built according to specifications and it has to meet the standards. shirley L. Bachrach, League of Women Voters of Riverhead-Southold presented the following letter. April 23, 1974 TO: SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD RE: LEISURE GREENS, INC. The League of Women Voters of Riverhead-southold does not take a position on specific local housing developments except in relation to the Southold Town Development Plan for which we have stated our support. It is therein recomr~ended that only one multiple unit dev- elopment be sited at each of three hamlets, Greenport, Southold and Mattituck. Our support of the Development Plan is based on the best use of land in any given area. We believe that multiple housing should be contiguous to shopping, public transportation and social assembly. The location in Cutchogue, therefore, does qualify in this Leisure Greens, Inc. -11- April 23, 1974 respect to a much greater extent than does the application made for Mattituck. The biggest concern in a decision on rezoning should not be the question of how much taxes will be paid but how appropriate it is to the area. A change of zone in this instance would be logical if it were considered as an alternative to a Mattituck development because there is less congestion and more accessible public facilities for senior citizens. In considering the Leisure Greens application from the stand- point of density, we feel that the number of buildings and occupants is much too high. Under the present one acre residential zoning, about 40 single residences averaging even five occupants per house would yield an added population of 200. The proposed plan contains 74 buildings and 296 units, which would house approximately 600 people, with the concern about water supply for existing residents of the Town, we believe it would be irresponsible to consider such a popmlation density for the given acreage. It is our position that future consideration of multiple housing whether cluster or condominiums should be based on one unit per 1/2 acre lot with sewers and town water. Even with tertiary sewage treatment required, when would it be mandatory that it be installed? Since completion is estimated over a period of five years, cesspools would be used until a costly tertiary sewage treatment system would be economically feasible. If the demand for condominiums were to drop, one could envision the applicant asking the Board of Health for a delay or waiver on sewer construction after a few years. The applicant has stated the need for more housing for senior citizens exclusively. Here, again we question whether this is Madison Avenue salesmanship creating a need for exclusionary housing. Certainly, we do need moderate priced housing for young and old alike, but there is a question of legality in prescribing the age of the occupants or the circumstances of family age and size, other than that suggested by the physical limitations of the units. The comparison of income through school taxes to the district is a two-edged sword, while it may be true that additional income is realized from a development where few if any children would add to the school burden, it is also true that many senior citizens tend to vote down school budgets because they have no personal involvement in school needs. Although the development is self maintained, some municipal services such as fire and police protection must be provided. The cost of residential housing as an alternative to the proposed development as conceived by the Leisure Greens prospectus, estimates the cost of each house on a one acre plot at an unrealistic $16,800 Leisure Greens, Inc. -12- April 23, 1974 exclusive of land. Considering today's cost of building at approximately $30.00 per square foot, a 1200 square foot house without garage would cost more than twice that figure, or $36,000. Tax on the land is no longer $3.50 per square foot, but $7.50 at that location, according to a building assessor in the Town. The total tax on house and land today would be at least $1530 rather than $319.62 estimated by Leisure Greens. The difference between $90,000 for M-1 versus $61,000 total tax for residential housing is a more realistic alternative basis of comparison than $12,784 residential yield in school tax they suggest. If the reliability of reflection of the projected Board would be well advised ing a change of zone. their estimated school tax is a cost of building condominiums, the Town to investigate thoroughly before grant- League of Women Voters of Riverhead- Southold Mrs. Shirley L. Bachrach Environmental Quality Chairman Mrs. Margaret Harris President Mr. Hargrove: Wou,ld that (M-1 zone) in fact encompass motels, hotels and tourist camps? Mr. Tasker: In the M-1 the permitted uses are as in the M but motels, hotels and tourist camps are permitted as a special exception. Mrs. Terry: The North Fork Environmental Council would like to ask some questions: 1. When a zoning change is granted, what guarantee do the people of the town have that the projected plan will be followed? 2. If the projected plan is not followed, what recourse does the town have? Is the altered plan subject to the same scrutiny as the original plan? 3. what provision is there to require a developer to coordinate his plan with the owners of adjacent property? 4. what is the legality of setting age limits or family size limits on purchasers or renters in a project such as this? 5. what is the effect on a Town's civic life of altering the population balance of a Town by introducing housing limited or Leisure Greens, Inc. -13- April 23, 1974 restricted to older and more affluent residents or to other limited specifications? Mr. Martocchia: On a change of zone it is the duty of this Board to make our decision based on what is being asked for and in our considered opinion we are supposed to decide not who will own the property but is the site in question a proper site for the zoning that is being asked for. Mr. Warren: Alot of those questions that were just asked are important, what guarantee will the people have that these people will follow through with any plans? Mr. Martocchia: No guarantee. Mr. Ahern: When we submitted our plans, we have to follow through on the plans. These are the guidelines and as far as a retirement community, we are not trying to separate the community, what we are selling is a way of life. It is a terrible thing when people get old and lonely and need people to take them shopping and here they are with people their own age and they are much happier. If anyone checks into Leisure Village they will find the people are satisfied and love the life they are living. Question: Are they happier or are they programmed? Jean Tiedke: I have been over to Leisure Village. It is very attractive. This, to my personal opinion, is hideous. There is no relationship to what Leisure Village has done. why are the tears wept for elderly people? what about our young people? They need a place to live that is moderately expensive. Overweighing the town for a retired community would not be good for the future. Mr. Gorman: People have to have somewhere to live. I have six young couples looking for two or three rooms. They cannot find a place of rent. They are lost. So as the lady has just said we need places for our people to live. Albert Orlowski: I live close to the site. I think it is great and we need it. I am in favor of it. Ellsworth Fuller, Cutchogue: I am one of those old folks you don't worry about. I think it is a great idea. Mr. wickham makes a great pitch for grapes. He makes a great pitch for his associate. I like to see grapes raised as well as potatoes but this is something for people and I think we ought to think about people. I think you in this group ought to think about people, for people that need help. Leisure Greens, Inc. -14- April 23, 1974 We can get along without the grape. It can move over a bit. I don't know why they can't be raised next to people. People eat and drink grapes so they get along pretty well in that stage. I am certainly for it and I don't worry about being too close to them. Mr. Hughes: This isn't a philanthropic organization. People with $30,000 at least can move into them. Most of these people are involved in some way themselves. These people are the ones speaking the loudest. AS far as being an agricultural area, it definitely is and I think these things should be taken into consideration. Mrs.Tiedke: I have one other question. I know that full disclos- ures of ownership is supposed to be given to the Planning Board. I would like to hear exactly who the owners are including the owners of Milmat. Mr. Homan read the following disclosure statement from the file. JOHIq GRADOWSKI, being duly sworn deposes and states: 1. That I am the President of Leisure Greens, Inc., a New York corporation, having a place of business at Main Road, Mattituck, N. Y. 2. That I submit this Disclosure Statement setting forth the names of all the stockholders of said corporation: a. Hans Ketelsen-16 Hedgegrow Lane, Commack, N.Y. b. Irving Levin-22 Railroad Avenue,Sayville, N.Y. c. Thomas Emma-soundview Acres, Shoreham, N.Y. d. Leonard Emma-Circle Drive, Shoreham, N.Y. e. Mary Ahern-Ashley Lane, shoreham, N.Y. f. Martin Ahern-Ashley Lane, Shoreham, N.Y. g. Stanley Sledjeski, Mattituck, N.Y. h. John Gradowski Southold, N.Y. i. Bruce Persson-Harbor Beach Road, Mt. Sinai, N.Y. Leisure Greens, Inc. by: /s/ John Gradowski, President Mrs. Tiedke: what is the association between Leisure Greens and Milmat? Stanley sledjeski: There are two people, Martin Ahern and myself, who are the sole owners of Milmat and if this goes through we will Leisure Greens, Inc. -15- April 23, 1974 be the managers. Mrs. Tiedke: deal? There are no other stockholders involved with either Stanley sledjeski: No. Mrs.Terry: Did you say that there was someone here who could give some explanation to the remarks of Dr. Smith? Mr. Olsen: As far as the sewage disposal and water issues, as I indicated in my presentation, they would be constructed with all applicable requirements. This is an initial proposal. We did not at this stage get involved in spending a terrific amount of money for detailed reports to be done. Before this can proceed we must first get our change of zone. Then a more detailed proposal but this is to give a general idea to what we have in mind. Mr. Lorio can perhaps explain anything you would want to know. It is just to give an idea and there are alot of governmental processes to go through before something like this can be finalized, what- ever the uptodate standards and we will have to meet them and we will. I appreciate the comment of being compared to a Madison Avenue salesman since I am from Mattituck. Mr. Ahern: should be up. I believe in your master plan, it is stated that it reviewed at the end of ten years and the ten years are Mr. Martocchia: No, they are not. Mr. Abraham: Alot of stress has been made in mentioning the importance of abiding by the master plan but the zoning law also provides for modification and that is why we are here to consider the merits of this matter. Mr. Gorman: My in-laws have an eighteen acre farm a few hundred feet from this site and we have a farmer there and he didn't make any reference that he couldn't farm if this building was put up. Mr. Hargrove: You don't pick a potato out of the ground and chew on it that I have noticed. One man said the grapes should just move over. Vineyards have been moving out of California. One of the great promises is it has a lightened land use. The County Executive's plan for retaining agriculture is for keeping the density at a minimum. It isn't to keep it green and pretty although that is nice, too. It is this type of land use that would be disastrous to a small community like Cutchogue. We will stay.

The rear of the farm adjoins the property of Sledjeski, who is making application to build apartments. My farm fronts about 1.800 feet on Depot Lane. It is approximately 650 feet in depth and is adjacent to this property for about 1,800 feet. Although I am rentin6 the farm for farming purposes, and occupy the residence, I realize I may nor be able to do so much longer. I believe the farm is one of the best in Cutchogue for a development of fine homes. It is near transportation, shopping and churches. It is off but near Route 25 and Route 27A. I am very fearful ~nat a change of zone on the Sledjeski property aha the erection of moderate or low price houses will greatly diminish the value of my property and all of the adjoining properties.
