Cremers, Member Kenneth L. Edwards, Member Martin H. Sidor, Member Mark Terry, Senior Environmental Planner Bruno Semon, Senior Site Plan Reviewer Carol Kalin, Secretary SETTING OF THE NEXT PLANNING BOARD MEETING Chairman Orlowski: Good evening. I'd like to call this meeting to order. The first order of business is for the Board to set Monday, December 8, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold, as the time and place for the next regular Planning Board Meeting. Mr. Cremers: So moved. Mr. Edwards: Second. Chairman Odowski: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor? Ayes: Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Caggiano, Mr. Cremers, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor Chairman Orlowski: Opposed? The motion carries. PUBLIC HEARINGS Chairman Orlowski: 6:00 p.m. - Petrolino/Graseck - This proposal is to amend the lot line between SCTM#1000-78-8-16.2 (Parcel 1) and SCTM#1000-78-8-17.2 (Parcel 2) and transfer 0.255 acres of Parcel 1 to Parcel 2 where, after the transfer, Parcel 1 Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa.qe Two November 10, 2003 would equal 0.918 acres and Parcel 2 would equal 1.063 acres. The properties are located on the n/s/o North Bayview Road, +/- 375' east of Cedar Avenue, and on the e/s/o Cedar AvenUe, +/- 414' north of North Bayview Road, in Southold. Are there any questions Or comments on this proposed amended lot line change? Thomas McCarthy: Good evening, Tom McCarthy, representing Mr. Petrolino. Unfortunately, Mr. Petr01inO has asked me to request to rescind the application at this point. Th~e has been a falling out between the agreement with himself and his neighbor, I believe you will be seeing this application again'for a similar lot change - not with Mr. Graseck but wi[h an adjoining neighbor. So, we regret to remove the application at this point but it will be subject of a new application in the near future. Chairman:Oflowski: So, that will be a totally new application? Tom Mccarthy: It will be for the same - yes, it will be a new application. It will be for the same area. In the rear, there will be a resultant of forty thousand square feet, as the Board has directed us on the Petrolino parcel, but it will not be going to the one immediate neighbor; it will be going to another immediate neighbor. Chairman Orlowski: O.K. So, there would be no sense keeping the hearing open or anything like that? Tom McCarthy: I don't believe so, no. I think we will submit to you new maps and a new formal application. Chairman Odowski: O.K. The hearing is open and I will entertain a motion to close the hearing since the applicant has rescinded the application. Mr. Cremers: So moved. Mr. Edwards: Second. Chairman Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the motion? All those in favor?. Ayes: Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Caggiano, Mr. Cremers, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor Chairman Orlowski: Opposed? The motion carries. Chairman Odowski: 6:05 p.m. - Mattituck Self Stora.qe - This site plan is for a new 7,500 sq. ft. 2nd floor addition with renovation of an existing 22,996 sq. ft. building and maintenance of a 14,184 sq. ft. metal storage building on a 1.697 acre parcel in the LI Zone located at approximately 151' south of Route 48 on the east side of Wickham Avenue, known as 885 Wickham Avenue, in Mattituck. SCTM#1000-140-2-9 Southold Town Planninq Board Pa.qe Three November 10, 2003 I'll ask if there are any comments on this site plan application? Thomas McCarthy: Good evening again, Thomas McCarthy. Together with my wife, Susan, we are the applicants. I'd just like to put up some photos, if I may, in a spot that is convenient for everyone to see them. We would like to submit to the Board a covering letter, as well as, a booklet Self-storage Standards and the Modem Community. I would like to read directly from my prepared comments anyhow. So, Dear Membefs; Please let this letter serve as a synopsis for the handout which I gave you. This booklet is a res0it o~: a Study commissioned by the Self Storage Association and cOni:l.i,Cte'~l by EdonOmilc Consulting Associates of Tempee, Arizona. The purpose of stady, and toi~cknowle~Jge some of the folks that are here this evening, may have some i~Oes reg'arding traffic and I would just like to give.you Some industry data reg~rdiri~;tdaffic.: The purpose of the study was to accurately measure how much traffic is gen~r~t.b~l by ~elf'stO'rage facilities. The study contains data from ail across the nation and focused on '15~'~fa~cilJties. The detail in the study, if you flip through your pages and look.at?the, highligt-it~d ififormation, is as follows: the average facility Size through those 158 f~dil[ti,b. S :was 59:~'1 square feet. Our proposed facility is 30,000 square feet - ap'p'i-i~tfi~te~ hair.'.-J'he ~,~rage number of st0¥ag'e units.is 553 - we have 235 Aga n, le~'s' th~fl:~E~i¥: The' ~'mp'ortaht figu're ' ......... "" ' "' " "~. ' ..... here s the average ~h~cle trips per 100 ~paces is 6.82,'T'h~tli~'on a ~l~i~ ~'b'as's. For bvery 100 spaces, the~e are 6.;92 v~l~iCle trips per day n~itioi~lly'arid in 'the. N~the~i~t Region is 6.44'. So, roughly, six and a hal~ tri'ps per day per~100 ~ida~ceS. If you bqui~l~e [hat to the numb'er of spabes treat we have, there will be 15 trips p~r day for oui' ~'iaciiity. That is what the numbers show based on my own observation of local facilities and other folks that I know in the business. I believe it will be less than that. This number of cars is a little bit less than probably what you would see in a fifteen-minute period at Handy P~fltty in the morning. And that would be for the entire day for the facility. In additiOn tO the national study, I submitted a letter earlier today to your Planning Office from a Self Storage Facility Manager that has worked for the last five years in the industry in Bridgehampton and in East Hampton, as a Manager of Dispatch Self Storage in Bridgehampton and Uncle Bob's Self Storage in East Hampton. Her exp'erience shows, because of the seasonality of our area, she would only see a half dozen cars Come in though her facilities on a typical day. So, I urge you to waive these - the Planning Board to consider the merits of our application, other possible uses for the site, and the vast improvements that this beautiful hew facility and fa~;ade will contribute to our community. I respectfully request that the public hearing be closed tonight and the matter be put to a vote this evening and I appreciate your consideration in this matter. A few other points that I would like to make, aside from my prepared written comments, the fact that we are paying just over thirteen thousand dollars a year in taxes on this building. It is a hefty sum to carry. We are looking for a good use that is going to be a good neighbor and we are looking to be a good neighbor to the people in Mattituck. We would have been entitled to go for a reduction in our taxes on the building because the front building has been vacant. We have not done that. We have kind of sucked it up Southold Town Planning Board Page Four November 10, 2003 and paid our share of the taxes over in Mattituck. We feel that what we have is a creative, adaptive re-use of an existing old industrial buildin.q. The neighborhood has a mix Of residential uses as Well as business uses, however, it is all zoned for business With the residential office zoning, hamlet business zoning, as well as, light industrial. That about concludes my presentation. I would be happy to answer any questions that anyone may' have. Ribhard Ca.q.qiano: On the traffic - you said it was roughly fifteen cars per day? Tom MCCaffhy: Correct. Richard Ca'.q.qiano: Is it different on the weekends as opposed to weekdays? Tom McCarthy: Yes, there is a little bit more traffic on a Saturday and the trend across the cOuntry, Rich, is that some facilities have even been starting to close up on Sunday because theY don't see that there is as much traffic generated on Sunday. Southold Self Storage - I called there several times today. I got a national answering service. There Was no one manning the facility. There is not a lot of business there. They are about eighty, eighty-five percent full. If you go past there on any given day, if you see three cars in the parking lot, it is quite a bit. They have about 70,000 square feet of storage space. Mr. Ca.q.qiano: Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: O.K. No other questions. Are there any other comments or questions? Michael Herbert: Hi. My name is Michael Herbert. I did send a letter to Mr. Orlowski regarding my concern. I have lived in the area now since 1986 and I work in the area so I am very familiar with the element of the traffic, the activity that is going on and, in my letter, I would just like to reiterate that Wickham Avenue is used as a main artery between Route 48 and Route 25 and has been. You know, that and Love Lane are the shortest routes between the two main highways and, with that, I have witnessed myself countless accidents both on Route 48 and Route 25. We have the firehouse at the corner of Pike Street and Wickham Avenue; we have the daycare school on Wickham Avenue. We have the high school on Pike Street and I am constantly seeing children walking across Wickham Avenue to Love Lane during the seasonal months. Love Lane is bustling with traffic literally so - and I - because I work right there in the area and I am cognizant of the whole area as far as traffic and mobility and I can imagine tractor trailers now being introduced to the area, you know, the constant flow of that type of traffic any more than what we already have with the way the North Fork is developing and Mattituck and Love Lane and the festivals and the what have you. I just think it would absolutely really have serious consequences to our area. That's really my main concern is the level of traffic. I spoke to Tom and I told him that if, for instance, a sofa bed manufacturing company opened up there, I would be more in favor if there were fifty employees and fifty employees went there and stationarily parked their cars and went to work and then went, you know - and left - if it were more stationary but with the Southold Town Planning Board Pa.qe Five November 10, 2003 constant flow of traffic and commercial vehicles and trucks and Rider trucks and so on. I mean, I think that would be a grave mistake on Wickham Avenue. It is a short street; it is already very, very busy. You have the railroad tracks there on top of it; it is a main artery. If you check with Sou~hold Town Police and see how many accidents time and time and time again on Route 25 that there are and, even if they were to put a traffic light there, eventually then it would only create that much more congestion anyway and that necessarily would not be the answer to solve the problem of a storage facility · coming in'there. Personally, I would rather see something that is more sta~le with a work fOi~Ce wh'ere.'~here i~ not coristant in and out of vehicles ahd especially commercial vehicles - trac[or trailers, ~ider trucks, things of that nature. That's my - and I have lived in chat p~icticular area nOW for twenty years and l, personally, for the sake of the busines.~.disiriCt arid the?ay t~iey tlave beeh revitalizihg Lov~ Lan~, I think it would be impoit~nt, ltb preserve wl-¢t..We have there because once it is ~oCn~rbmised, you know, then it Will:.[ust becorhe a~e¢ca 0f congestion and probie'ms, i~t~a'Cd('you for my time. T'h~nk yOU. Chairman;Orlowski: Any other comments? Geor.qe. Lomaqa: Hi. I recognize people here. A lot of people I know. Hi. I am George Lomaga. [ am speaking fo'r mom. She lives on the corner. It is a blacked out corner right there on 4:8 and Wickham Avenue. She has cars almost come into her yard. It is a wonder some have not come into her yard with that traffic light there. Today was interesting. I went over to visit her and I grew up on that corner right next to K. G. Brown'S..I. can remember a car accident where a train came through and took a car out right at'the crossing when the gates were down and, what was interesting today is, the gateS' came down - they were working in town on the train - and the traffic was backed up dowr~ t'o the fire house. Traffic was backed up to almost the traffic light in front of my mom's.yard because the gates were down. There was a cop in line; people were making a u-turn, coming around and going back out the other way and, watching in mom's yard out the kitchen window, I said God, if they put a storage facility here whether it is six ca:rs, seven cars - the gentleman that spoke before - the trucks. The concern [ have is - definitely is - you are going to have a major, major catastrophe there with a traih and cars. She can hardly get out sometimes in the summertime with the traffic. When K.G. Brown used to have the ice machines there, the ice machine was out froht ~nd people would Stop and pick up the ice and, I agree with the gentleman, it would b'~ a hock of a lot better to have people come early in the morning and go to work as K.G. I~rown had and then, you know, five o'clock they would be leaving - going away. But here, now you are going to have a flow - congestion in the summertime on top of that. I just don't - I mean, if you guys could foresee what the future is going to be there, it is grea[. I don't know how you could make plans but certainly it looks like it is a dangerous, dangerous situation no matter what you are going to do there in that corner if you are going to have a storage facility. All you can do is maybe just come down there and See Once in a while. You guys know what - well, Marry knows - don't you, Marty?. You know what it is like there where the print shop was. So, it is - so, I think you've got a headache there if you put a storage facility there guys and m'ame, too. O.K. So, you need to look at that a little seriously, I think, on the flow of traffic and what it is going to Southold Town Plannin.q Board PaRe Six November 10, 2003 do. My question is what is going to happen if it gets backed up to 48 if you are going to have cars when the gates come down? You need to think of that. O.K.? Chairman Orlowski: O.K. Thank you. Any other comments? Debra Granberq: Hi. My name is Debbie Granberg. I live at 735 Wickham Avenue, just on the north side of the proposed self-storage. I have a couple of questions first that maybe Mr. McCarthy, at some point, could answer for me. I would like to know what the hours of his operation would be and he says he is going to have - I don't know - two hundred and some odd units. But, I believe the total that you are going to renovate is 44,670 SqUare feet? 7,500 up, 22 down and 14 in the back? Someone? Chairman Orlowski: Who can answer that question? Do you want to answer that question? Bruno Semon: Tom, the fourteen is your pre-existing space which you will have to indicate. Tom MCCarthy: The 14,000 square foot building in the rear is not being touched. The building, as you see it right there, enjoys a foot print of 16,500 square feet so a portion of thai on the south side towards your home is going to be - a lower level - be renovated, re-done, with a new second floor above it. O.K.? Debbie Granberq: So the two buildings in the back will be destroyed or just nothing will be there? Tom McCarthy: No. The building in the rear will remain and the building in the front that you see with the new building will have the same exact footprint of the existing building. Debbie Granberq: I understand but, the two that are in the rear, are they going to be used for storage - eventually? Tom McCarthy: There is one building in the rear, m'ame. Debbie Granberq: O.K. The one building in the rear - will that be used for storage? Tom McCarthy: It presently has storage in it now, yes. Debbie Granber.q: O.K. So, that will be - Tom McCarthy: So, the existing building footprint will not change for the main building. The subject of this application is the front building and that footprint will not change. Debbie Granberq: Well, a concern that I have is commercial traffic, of course. On November 5th' I was driving from the North Road to go home and I had to stop on Wickham Avenue because there was a huge eighteen wheeler tractor trailer making his move to go back into the back storage - and this was a huge tractor trailer right there - I Southold Town Planning Board Paqe Seven November 10, 2003 had to stop and I am thinking, well, gee - if he is now having this, what else is going to come? How many Rider trucks - anything commercial like this. I mean, in this area it is a hazard. 48 and Wickham Avenue - that has been told before - is constantly with accidents. I was in an accident there in July - totaled my car - someone hit me. I also went to Southold Storage today and I did speak to a gentleman there that is actually from the main office in Ohio and I asked him a few questions about his storage facility. They have 59,700 square feet - not 70,000. They have 585 units - two are for commercial use but, ir'is on Six to seven acres he said. This would be on 1.69 and you c~uld just drive Wy this Souttiold ~Jnit here and Wickham and see the difference in the traffic. That is another concern. Also, I made a couple copies - i did not realize there v~ould be so many of you up there - The Eighth Annual Self-Storage Almanac. This is an inf~r~a~ion ~hd.analysis ~r a' new cer~tury of self storage with the people that are buying units - sel~ s~rage. 'They would want this. It is like their kind of Bible, per se, and the humidor of vehicles en~erin'g'[he facility daily, for a rental square footage of 25- 4g,0~)0 is 20.6 ¢~rs. I mean,.this is - I have it here. I mean, you k~o~', I Would be happy to [1and out - I Only I~a~/e f0ui~ that I Can hand out to you. And another concern that I hav~ I~ec~use cars, I would assume since there is hot rn,~ch parkin~l'SpaCe t~qere, would be oh the ~id~ Where my hou'Se is. -~here is no kind of - I had spoken to Mr. McCarthy on No~,ernl~er ~d ~nd he said there is a fence there already bu~, in t~e eVening, what happen~ 'if people are gO[rig to be using the storage facili~? You b~;k into the place to ur~load or Ioa'd so I~hts ~vill b~ shining and what about security lights - what kind of prol~lem Is that going to be? These are things that I find imp~rtaht but I gi~ess the main thing is the traffic which, I think, is going to be a big problem a~ter~ just seeing the'other day that ~rac~or trailer stopl~ing 0n Wickham to back into the f~iL~ty.. I me'ar~, in the summertime'l C~n't imagir~e what that is going to do to this ~lace:. Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: What are the hours of operation? Tom McCarthy: They have not been established yet but we would be happy to limit them to what is good for the community. Chairman Orlowski: OK. Any other comments? Jeff Strong: I am Jeff Strong. I am a business owner in Mattituck. ~ also own a home that I rent out on the corner of Wickham Avenue and 48. My understanding is that this property is zoned industrial - is that correct? Chairman Orlowski: Yes. Jeff Strong: You know, for me, I balance my assessment between being a homeowner, an owner of a house I rent, as well as a business owner and, I think the fact that the property is zoned industrial, it would seem to me that this could have a lot more potential for heavy use than what is suggested here all be it, you know, I think that some of the other neighbors have good concerns that would seem to me to be able to be reasonably remedied with some type of conversation between yourselves and the applicant. The only question that I had had - and I had asked Tom this question - with Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa.qe Eight November 10, 2003 the whole affordable housing issue and the press for apartments and that type of thing, I asked Tom the question if apartments were allowed on industrial property. His answer to me war no. Is that, in fact, currently accurate? Chairman Orlowski: Yes, it is. Jeff Stron.q: I don't want to throw a monkey wrench into the application or anything like that but I did want to voice my viewpoint that, with the press of the need for affordable housing and with the direction that it seems the Town has stated that they want to go is to make more affordable housing available in the hamlet districts, it would seem to me that this might be a verY good way of possibly reaching some type of way that might be goo~l:for 1~he applicant aR Well as sensitive to some of the neighbors in the area that p0~ibly th~ second story - I don't know the ins and outs of what it takes to make affordable' hOusing ,be available on that issue - but you migl~t be able to have self- storag~ On' the bo~toml apart~nents o~t (he top Which would ease some of the concerns that $0r~ of the rieigh'bors h~ve about the intensity of traffic and also address some of the ~ffo:rdal~le housing' issubs. Those are my commentS. Thank you. Chairman Odowski: Any other comments? John Nickles, Jr.: Good evening, John Nickles Jr. of Southold. I can understand the concerns that people would have about traffic in that area. It is a place that does receive a lot of traffic. There is the Mattituck Sanitation. They have trucks going in and out of there all the time, but it is one of those places where traffic is expected to be. It is a road that I use all the time when I go back and forth between Mattituck and Southold. I take Route 48 up, I turn left at the light there and that's how I get to the Main Road. So, there certainly is a significant amount of traffic there and that is a concern. But, it is business property and this is business property which, I presume, was figured out that is where is should be from past Master Plans, studies and, considering that this is industrial property, there could be numbrous other types of more intense businesses there than the one being proposed today, I believe. I would ask you to look favorably upon this application. Thank You. Chairman Orlowski: Any other comments? Anthony Uruso(sp.?): Good evening. My name is Anthony Uruso and I would like to speak in favor of the application. I spent ten years on a Planning Board for the Town of Smithtown, most of those ten years as Chairman and, when an application of this sort came before us, it Was very refreshing and very nice to see an intensity use blend in more favorably with the community. Here is an opporLunity to take a light industrial site that could have a lot of could bes to it that would be more intensive to the use that Mr. McCarthy and his wife are planning here. A self storage unit is a non-nuisance use. It is probably the lowest intensity use for traffic in a commercial site that I can think of in my term. So, I wholeheartedly support it and hope this Board would see to favor that as well. Thank you very much. Chairman Orlowski: O.K. Any other comments? Southold Town Planning Board Paqe Nine November 10, 2003 James.Dinizio: Jim Dinizio, Greenport. I, too, ask you to look favorably upon this application. In the course of my business - as security - I have done a couple of these self storage areas and I can tell you, working there during the day, that it is not a real busy and certainly not a noisy business. You know, it is mostly people just coming and putting their stuff away that maybe they have moved to a smaller house or, you know, something of that sort or they die and had to store their furniture. And, also, I think it would help [he-businesses in town because they could store their stuffthere and maybe they would not have to add on to their buildings and, you know, maybe it is too small and i have seen a lot of that, too. And also for all the reasons stated - that the area was chosen for that. i mean, it Was ~lanned for that. You know, you're the Planning Board and' that's part of the plan Was t'l~at should' be industrial and certainly this is p~obably I cari't tl~irik of a less intehsiYe industrial use more conducive t~) a neighbor than that. I unde:rstahd people live the're and certa'inly let's hope that this business wiil be a good neighbor. 'Knowirig Tom a~ I do, I don't think that he would be a I~ad neighbor. He's always Clbne everythihg top ~qotch. I don't foresee this bein'g ady different so I hope that you would Idok favorably Oh this. Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: Thank you. Craiq Arm: Hi, Craig Arm from Southold. I just wanted to mention to the neighbors that I belong to Southold Self Storage and I know over the last year and a half that I have had some things stored, I don't think I have ever seen more than two other cars other than myself in there at any given time, that it is usually - it is almost a joke when you look at all the parking requirements and everything they make everybody do and how few cars are ever actually in there at any time. I think it is a great re-use of the site and I think, aesthetically, it looks great and hopefully the Board will look favorably upon it. Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: Thank you. Debbie Granber.q: Has anyone considered to do a traffic study of that area? Chairman Orlowski: No, at this - no traffic study on that. Debbie Granber.q: You're not going to do any? Bruno Semon: We had it looked at by our Town Engineer. It was also certified for a use that is permitted within the zoning district itself. The zone was there; it was not created for it. The Superintendent of Highways felt it was no issue with additional use on Wickham Avenue and the main reason is because, as everybody stated, it is an artery. It is used heavily for commercial use, currently, at this time. Debbie Granber.q: But the incidents of traffic accidents on 25 and more so on 48, that doesn't give anyone to say gee, you know what, there are a lot of problems with this street. Maybe we should reconsider this or something? Southold Town Plannin.q Board Paqe Ten November 10, 2003 Bruno Semon: What we did as a Planning Board is, during the SEQRA review, we sent it to Suffolk County Department of Public Works, which basical'ly runs 48. There were no comments given from the County to us. Chairman O~lowski: Any other comments? Brett McCarthy: Good evening, Brett McCarthy. I am from Southold. I am just here in Support of this 15~oject. From wl~at I hear tonight, a lot of the concerns are with the traffic iSS,~e a~nd I think tha'~ would be a'concern but the fact is that it is zoned as an industrial property an-d wb a?e ~tating'what has al'ready been said this evening but, compared to what c~uld be put at this site, f~ff'een cars is not a lot of additional traffic. The gentleman said.be'fore' that it might be be~ter to have, you know, if it was a different type of use arid the/'~ w~re:fi'~, employees the're, they would be coming at nine o'clock and leaving at five o'clock which are th~' two most busiest '~imes of the daY. i think fifteen cars, which is tho aVera'g~ of do,.',rs~, isn't', you know, worse than'that because it is going tb be spread out th'~o'.",~ho~t the whole day. Thank you. Chaicman Odowski: Any other comments? Bill VV~itSke: Bi'Il Witske from Southold. I am also here in favor of this - as an application, I am in f~vor of this. I am Assistant Fire Chief within the town here and traffic concerns are, I know all tO well, what we have here in the town and the accidents that we do have. Some of the issues that were brought up, obviously, are legit. If this thing was still in existence as a manufacturing facility as it was, they would still be getting tractor trailers there from time to time. So whether or not we enjoy that particular facet of businbss, we do hi~ve these large trucks on the roads and we do have to work with them. If it is open approximately the same hours that the facility right over behind us are - probably eight to ten hours a day, two cars an hour, sixteen - twenty more cars a day, I don't think that iS going to be a big factor on that particular road. I am sure that is something you are all going to look at and as I have known Tom for a good number of years and I have always been pleased with the work he does and I know he has always been a good neighbor and he always runs a top notch operation. Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: Any other comments? Len Va¢cariello: My name is Len Vaccariello. I own a small business in the area and I used to patronize the local mini storage Over here. It was invaluable to me. We need things like that. Same story that I hear every week watching you guys on T.V. now - the little guy is losing his warehouse space all over the North Fork. We really need a place to store things. I think it is important. I think we need it. I apologize - the big truck was mine. Thank God we have only had trucks like that maybe three times in two years. Debbie Granberq: There was also a Mohawk there. Len Vaccariello: At the same time. Yes. It was a rareity but I apologize. Southold Town Planninq Board Pa.qe Eleven November 10, 2003 Debbie Granber,q: The last couple of days - there was a Mohawk and then that one. It was you. Len Vaccariel'lo: It was me and I am sorry but it does not happen often and the people who patronize the mini storages are not going to be - as much as I know. Debbie Granber.q: It looks like people that will use it back and forth. Chairman Orlowski: The Board will entertain all the questions - no debates. Len Vaccariello: I mean, as far as I am concerned, I think it is a worthwhile project. think we need it. I think little homeowners need it and also little businesses need it. Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: Any other comments? George Loma.qa: Yeah, I just heard parking. Is the parking going to be across the street? There's no parking in the facility. Chairman Orlowski: George, I know you, but we have to have your name. George Loma.qa: George Lomaga. I am sorry. I just heard parking - is the parking going to be next to Ann's place? Chairman Orlowski: No, the parking will be on the site around the building. George Loma.qa: Wait, I can't - that is just a roadway along the railroad tracks there, right? Chairman Orlowski: Yes, but there is enough parking there. Georqe Loma.qa: And then what about the front where the - is the front part - is there going to be parking in front, too? Chairman Orlowski: it is landscaped in front. I think there is some parking. Bruno Semon: There is parking. It is on the site plan outside the window. George Loma.qa: And there is parking across the street as well? Chairman Odowski: No. George Lomaga: So that is not part to be developed at all? Chairman Orlowski: No. Mr. Lomaqa: So, it is just going to be the facility on the west side of the road? Southold Town Planninq Board Pa.qe Twelve November 10, 2003 Chairman Orlowski: Yes. Mr. Loma.qa: O.K. And there is a requirement for the number of places for parking -for the number of storage places? Is that what I am hearing? Chaii'man Orlowski: Yes. Geor.~e Loma.qa: O.K. Thanks. Chai¢man Orlowski: Any other comments? Michael Hecbert: I just want to reiterate that it has been made clear - even John Nichols stated that he' uses Wickham Avenue as an artery between Route 48 and 25 and visa versa and that just proves the point that it is a main artery that is used by many people going that are looking to cross over. It is the shortest point between the two main roads and it is most'commonly used as opposed to Love Lane and, therefore, I just ask for you to consider that and to really spend some time to really analyze how it will affect the area during Seasonal months, how it will affect the area with mainly commercial traffic and pedeStrian car traffic and, you know, in light of everything that is really going on there already. So, thank you. Chairman Odowski: Any other comments? An.qeio Stepnoski: I own a small business in Southold. I think it is an appropriate use of that situation. I think it is a great improvement on the situation we have there now. As you can see what it looks like, it is going to be a good improvement. It is not going to be much of an impact on the neighborhood at all and I think they should let him have it. Thank you. Chairman Orlowski: Any other comments? Tom Mc Carthy: Just as a follow up to some of the other comments - I have not taken a look at what Miss Granberg had submitted to you but, if it is from the Self Storage Almanac, I concur with whatever the figures are because they are both industry publications what I have given you and what she has given you and I am sure that is accurate. If we can do affordable apartments there, I would be happy to do it but, unfortunately, it is not in the Town Code. It would probably lead to just a little bit more traffic than what our facility would have because it would be at different hours. Thank you. William Cremers: Tom, one question - the tractor trailers - do you expect many of these? Tom McCarthy: We don't. We see a lot of people moving in with their own pick-ups. Occasionally, there will be some people moving into the area from other areas. There will be. I can't sit here and say that there will never be a tractor-trailer there but what we have done is we have maintained the loading dock in the front of the building where K. Southold Town Planning Board Pa.qe Thirteen November 10, 2003 G. used to take his goods in a'nd out. We have maintained that. We have made that a covered entrar~ceway with an air lock on the inside. There is plenty of room for a tractor- ti'ailer to back in and stay out of the roadway and still allow for plenty of car and pick up truck maneuvering, around the front of the building and the site. The parking that is in the front of the building - I believe you have six or eight spaces in the front of the building and it is a different facility than Southold Self Storage because it is going to be ~gated. Un[ess you have paid your bill, you are not getting in. You can park in the front but yoh will not bb'.'g~tting into the facility. So, there will not be people Coming 'through and'drMh~'~rourid a'ndjoy ~ding th~ou§h our facility. It will Only be for our 15aid cu'sto~rs ~/1~o~ i~vbi~;~es are bp to date. Wiilia'm. Cremers.' Any though[s about the hours of operation? I know someone brought it up. You said it is going to be gated. Are you going to have twentY-four hour coverage on the gate? Tom McCarthy: No. The gate will be locked down at a particular time that we decide but there, will be a manager [here full-time on staff all the time to answer anyone's questions, tb rent new units and to take care of any issues on site so there will not be a twenty-four hour facility. There really isn't the need and demand at three o'clock in the morning I've got to get my sofa, you know. This is long-term storage. People put things in for slx, eight, ten months. We are currently in the local telephone book now. We are receiving phone calls. I spoke with a gentleman by the name of Mr. Long today in Mattituck- hey, when are you going to be open? We need you. I said well, really, it depends on what goes on tonight and he said, well, I really hope it goes well for you. There could not be a better use for that site than what you are doing. It is a service to the corhmUnity and we really need it. We are happy to work with the community as far as hours go a'nd We don't see a need for people to be in there all hours of the night. Chairman Orlowski: O.K. Any other comments? Hearing none, any questions from the Board? O.K. No more comments from anyone or the Board, I will entertain a motion to close the hearing.

You know, it is always tough - industrial property and you are looking at it and I think Mr. Uruso back there mentioned it. When you get a non-nuisance type industry in a residential area, this is probably the best that anyone Southold Town Planning Board Pa.qe Fourteen November 10, 2003 could hope for.
