i, the To,vn of SouthoM for the minor subdivision of Old Orchard at Cutchogxte
SCTM# 109-6-9.2
Date: October 3, 2002
Thc proposed action involves the subdivision of a 4.619 acre parcel into four lots with the
following lot sizes: Lot 1:67,912.52 s.f. (l.56 acres), Lot 2:43,070.68 s.f. (0.99 acres),
Lot 3:40,082.00 s.f. (0.92 acres) and Lot 4:42,380 s.f. (0.97 acres). All proposed lots
are intended for single family residential development. Lot 1 maintains frontage on
Cedar's Road (with side yard frontage on New Suffolk Road), Lot 4 maintains frontage
on Case's Lane, and both lots 2 and 3 maintain fi'ontage on New Suffolk Road. The
proposed project will utilize private sanitary systems within individual lots. Public water
is proposed.
The project site is located in an area that contains a mix of residential, commercial,
agricultural, and private recreational uses. The subject site is zoned R-40 residential.
The Planning Board has reviewed the request for xvaiver for the minor subdivision Old
Orchard at Cutchogxte SCTM# 109-6-9 2 and makes a recommen&ation of denial at this
time due to the following reasons:
1. The Planning Board does not find that the reasons set-forth supporting the
"fmancial hardship" qualifies as above and beyond the norm within the
subdivision application process and therefore has determined that the request
should not constitute a" severe hardslxip" and makes a reconnnendafion of denial.
Correspondingly, it is the Planning Boards finding that thc proposed project does not
fully support the planning objectives of the Town of Southold which include: The
prcserv'afion.o£ open space and recreational space; the preservation of the Rural, Cultural
and Historical Character of thc Hamlets and surrounding areas and the preservation of the
natural em4ronment.

Old Orchard at ~utchogue Minor Subdivision
SCTM No. 1000 - 100 - 6 - 9.1
Gentlemen:
I ~xite in furtherance of Manzi Homes' application to have the above-referenced
minor subdivision excluded fi:om the provisions of the Temporary Moratorium Local
Law. While a public hearing regarding this requested waiver was held on December 3,
2002, by this 'time I am certain that you are ax~are that my office was not notified of the
time and place of the hearing. Thus, my client was deprived of its opportunity to be
heard on this matter.
Ms. Neville, the Tox~ Clerk, was kind enough to provide me with a copy of the
Plann/ng Board's Memorm~dum regarding tiffs application. The Memorandum, which
constitutes a recommendation for den/al of the waiver, sets forth only cursor)' assertions
regarding the Old Orchard minor subdivision. The blanket statements contained in the
Memorandum are not explained and avoid a discussion of those factors which supposedly
compelled the Town to adopt the Local Law this past summer.
Section 1 of the Local Law ("PURPOSE") recites in quite unambiguous language
that the Town Board enacted the Moratorium Law due to subdivisions "placing severe
pressure on the water supply, agricultural lands, open and recreational space, rural
character, natural resources, and transportation infrastructure of the Town." Accordingly,
it is necessary to evaluate the Manzi Homes waiver request in light of these concerns.
First, the Manzi Homes application, unlike other subdivisions, has immediate
access to public water. Thus, this four (4) home subdivision will not place severe
pressure - or any significant pressure at all - on the water supply. Second, the Manzi
Homes minor subdix4sion is located in a hamlet district, and will not place any pressure
Town Board Members
Town of Southold

Page Tv~o
on agricultural lands, as no such "lands" are implicated in this application. Third, the
Manzi Homes minor subdivision only involves slightly less than 4.5 acres, and aga/n, is
located within a developed hamlet district, and thus will not place any pressure - much
less severe pressure - on open and recreational space. Fourth, the Manzi Homes
proposed subdivision, as stated previously, is located squarely xvithin the already
developed Cutchogue hamlet district, and thus place no "pressure on." or adversely
affect, the Towm's rural character. Fifth, the Manzi Homes application, as it only
involves four homes on non-envirortmentally sensitive land in a developed area, will not
place severe pressure on the Town's natural resources. Sixnth, as the Man:r[ Homes
subdivision is located in a hamlet district and will allow pedestrian access to shopping,
and merely consists of four homes, it will not place any pressure on the Town's
transportation infi:astructure.
The Planning Board's unsubstantiated comment that the "proposed project does
not fully support the planning objectives of the Towm of Southold which include: The
preservation of opan space and recreational space; the preservation of the Rural, Cultural
and Historical Character of the Hamlets and surrounding areas and the preservation of the
natural em4ronment" is contradicted by the six-part analysis set forth above and at odds
with the very factors which the Moratorium Law, in Section 6 (APPEAL
PROCEDURES) instructs "shall" be '~take[n] into account" upon review of a waiver
application. Moreover, the Planrdng Board's "finding" that the Manzi Homes request
does not "constitute a 'severe hardship'" is unsubstantiated and subjective. The Plamfing
Board's "conClusion'' that the applicant's "reasons" do not "qualify[y] as above and
beyond the norm within the subdivision application process" relies upon an analysis that
is not specified or authorized in the law' itself. Further underscoring the arbitrary nature
of the Planning Board's comments is the failure to address the hardship factors set forth
in correspondence onbehaif of the applicant dated July 28, 2002 and August 27, 2002.
Man×i Homes has expended extensive amounts of time, money and resources in
the course of applying for the minor subdivision, and has incurred sj~maificant carrying
costs as wel~ Moreover, Manzi Homes has also been adversely affected by the
Moratorium currently in effect in the Town of Riverhead, and thus has suffered added
hardship ~lue to the hold on the development of the Old Orelmrd at Cutchogue minor
subdixS~ion. Further, it is now' apparent, as set forth in a recent local newspaper article
which quotes members o'f the Town Board (copy attached), that the Moratorium will now
be extended, which Will xvithou~ question cause further hardship to the applicant_
I respectfully submit, based on the facts before you and prior submissions by the
applicant, that ManTi Homes' request for a waiver should be granted. If you are inclined,

Old Orchard at Cntchogue Minor Subdivision
SC13I No. 1000 - 100 - 6 - 9.1
Gentlemen:
I represem Manzi Homes, Inc., the applicant in the above-referenced matter.
Please accept this correspondence as a request for a waiver and/or x. ariance of the
provisions of the Town's recently enacted local law adopted on August 13, 2002
[hereinafter "the Moratormm"] on the aforementioned property, located hi Cutchogue,
New York. We respectfully submit, for the reasons set forth here/n, that such a waiver
and/or variance should be ~anted in order to alleviate the e~raord/na~_ hardship
affecting the parcel in question and the applicant herein.
Initially, kindly allow me to note that I subinitted correspondence to this Board
dated July 28, 2002 which set forth the enormous hardship that the Moratorium would
cause my client. A copy of that correspondence is attached hereto. Manzi Homes has
expended a considerable amount of time, money and resoumes in the Old Orchard at
Cutchogue minor subdivision. My client has incurred substantial can3_;ing costs for the
property in question, and almost four (4) months ago received sketch plan approval of
maps for the minor subdivision from the Planning Board.
Moreover, I submit that the variance and'or waiver we seek x~ll not adversely
affect the purpose of the local law. The Moratorium law explains, in perthaent part, that
among the factors lead/ng to the law's enactment is the ~owth of residential subdMsions
which place "severe pressure" on the Tox~n's %~ter supply, agricultural lands," "rural
character, natural resources and transportation infrastructure." The minor subdi~4sion in
question is located La a hamlet area, and thus would not adversely affect the rural
character of the Tox*~, and would not adx. ersely impact any agricultural lands. Also,
Tox~m Board
Town of Southold
August 27, 2002
public water exists at Cases Lane, the site of the application, and thus there xvould be no
adverse impact on the xvater supply. In addition, as the minor subdix4sion will be situated
in an existing hamlet area - which allows for residents to walk to shopping and amenities
the minor subdivision will not adversely impact the Town's natural resources and
transportation infrastructure.
Manzi Homes proceeded wSth the minor subdix4sion at issue for a significant
period of time - and to a significant degree of approval prior to the enactment of the
Moratorium. Further, ~e respectfully submit that a waiver or variance will not adversely
impact those items specified in the laxv itsel£ Accordingly, we respectfully request that a
variance or waiver be issued for Old Orchard at Cmchogue.

Re: Old Orchard at Cutchogue Minor Subdivision
Gentlemen:
Kindly consider this correspondence as an application to exclude the above-
entitled minor subdivision applied for ~r my client Manzi Homes from the moratorium
under consideration in the Town of Southold_ For the reasons which we shall set forth
herein, we respectfully submit that the failure to exclude fi'ds minor subdivision for which
sketch plan approval has akeady been granted would cause great financial hardship to my
client.
Mmnzi Homes is a small, family oamed and operated company which constructs
single family residences. For some time, Manzi Homes has enjoyed an exceptional
reputation in the Town of Southold as a builder of quality homes that deals fairly and
honorably ~4th both the public and the Town government. Manzi has invested a
sig14ficant amount of time, money and resources to the Old Orchard at Cutchogue
subdivision. Lrfitially, Manz-i submitted an application fee of $3000.00, enwSronmental
assessment forms, and sketch plans to the Town, and shortly thereafter submitted maps, a
$800.00 fee and an application to the Suffolk County Department ofHealih Serx4ces
[hereinafter "SCDHS"], Manzi has expended a con~siderable amount of money for
engineering costs, and over the course of the last year has attended numerous meetings
With the SCDHS and the Planning Board in furtherance of this application_ On May 13,
2002 the Planming Board adopted a resolution granting sketch plan approval of the maps
for the minor subdivision, and since that time Manzi has responded to further requests
made by the Planning Board, includh~g a request for a $750.00 environmental fee.
In light of the substantial time and expense dedicated to this minor subdixdsion, a
failure to have Old Orchard at Cutchogue excluded from a moratorimm would work
Town Board Members

an enormous hardship on a family enterprise such as Manzi Homes. Accordingly, we
respectfully request that Old Orchard at Cutchogue be excluded from any moratorium
