the road name of"Oregon Close"; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board performed a coordinated review of this Unlisted Action
pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617, Section 617.7 of the State Environmental Quality
Review Act (SEQRA); and
WHEREAS, at their March 25, 2019 work session the Planning Board found that the
proposed subdivision plat presents a proper case for requiring a park suitably located
for recreational purposes, but that a suitable park cannot be properly located due to the
location of the parcel, active agriculture use and the proposed sale of development
rights; and
WHEREAS, Southold Town Code §240-53 G establishes a fee to be paid in lieu of

may waive any provision of the subdivision regulations if in its judgment they are not
requisite in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare. After reviewing
the information submitted for this application, the Planning Board has determined that
due to the following reasons it is eligible for the following waivers;
1. Environmental Resources Site Analysis Plan (ERSAP) and the Primary and
Secondary Conservation Area Plan - Since the subdivision is a conservation
subdivision, the parcels contain large areas in active agriculture upon which the
landowner proposes to sell development rights to Suffolk County and the
unbuildable area is limited to the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area, the design of the
subdivision did not require these plans.
2. Clearing Limits on Lots 1, 4, 5, 9 and 10. These lots are cleared or mostly
cleared, in agricultural use or located within close proximity to active agriculture.
Lots 4 and 10 are required to install a landscaped buffer and the remaining lots
are expected to be landscaped; and
3. Clearing Limits on lots 6, 7 and 8. Clearing limits on these lots have been
modified to allow a maximum amount percent to be cleared from 20 percent to 52
percent of buildable lands, excluding right of ways. The Planning Board agreed to
the increase in the clearing limits to compensate for the area that the 50' Non-
Disturbance Buffer and 50' Landscaped Buffer occupy on each lot; and
4. Town Code § 240-49 1 (2). Street trees on Lots 1, 2 and 3 can be waived due to
potential conflicts with current and future agricultural operations and practices;
and

WHEREAS, on July 6, 2020, at their public meeting, the Planning Board found,
pursuant to § 240-49 1 (4) of the Town Code, that the proposed subdivision presents a
proper case for requiring street trees on lots 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10 to be planted for
screening or landscaping purposes, but that a suitable location for said plantings does
not exist, or it is otherwise impracticable, and required the applicant to pay a sum of
money in lieu thereof in the amount of$350.00 per tree or$8,050.00; and .

by Lahti Engineering and Environmental Consulting P. C., dated June 15, 2013 and last
revised October 2, 2023. subject to the following conditions:
1. Amend the Final Plat (Received October 24, 2023)
a. Label the Plat "Clustered Final Plat Standard Subdivision" in the title block.
Southold Town Planninq Board Public Meeting —January 13, 2025 — Page 15
b. Remove the table labeled "Required Setback Table".
c. Show street trees on lots 2, 4, 3, and 5 spaced at 40' on-center for the length
of Pearl Lane.
d. Lot 2 —show a 30' wide vegetated buffer along the northeast property
boundary for distance of 187.91' and a 50' wide vegetated buffer along the
northwest property boundary for a distance of 239.30' where the lot abuts the
open space. Label the buffers "Vegetated Buffer". Show a 15' wide setback
on the southwest property line (the boundary line between Lots 2 and 4).
e. Lot 3 — show a 30' wide vegetated buffer along the northeast property
boundary for distance of 306.12' and a 30' wide vegetated buffer along the
southeast property boundary for a distance of 126.16'. Label the buffers.
"Vegetated Buffer." Show a 15' wide setback on the southwest property line
(the boundary line between Lots 3 and 5).
f. Lot 4 — show a 50' wide vegetated buffer along the northwest property

h. The area of the proposed private right of way must be split among the lots so
that a separate tax parcel is not created.
An acceptable way to accomplish this would be to draw the road outline as a
dotted line on the Final Plat and the Road & Drainage Plan. Continue the NE
lot line of Lots 4 and 5 through the road, and draw the lot line between Lots 4
& 5 in the center of the road. Lot 3 would include a portion of the road end. It
is not necessary from a practical standpoint for Lot 2 to have any ownership
of the road since the goal is to prevent a new tax parcel just for the road. The
road maintenance agreement will be incorporated into the covenants to
include all the lot owners' responsibilities for the road.
2. Submit six copies of the Final Road & Drainage Plan with the following revisions:
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —January 13, 2025 — Page 16

requirements.
b. Meet the design standards for road construction as mandated in Town Code
Chapter 161 Highway Specifications with the exception of the turnaround
which must meet the NY State Fire Code for the proposed design, and add a
notation to the plan to that effect.
c. Provide certification from the licensed engineer preparing the plan that the
design.of the road and drainage meets Chapter 161 Highway Specifications
with the exception of the turnaround which must meet the NY State Fire Code
for the proposed design.
d. The area of the proposed private right of way must be split among the lots so
that a separate tax parcel is not created (see above for details).
i. Metes and bounds for the outside boundary of the right of way must be
provided on the Road and Drainage Plan, and as a schedule for the
covenants which will include road maintenance requirements.
e. Incorporate the revisions outlined in the Town Engineer's May 16, 2024
Memorandum, including but not limited to the following:
i. The proposed apron connecting the road to Orchard Street must be
constructed of asphalt for a minimum of 5' from the existing edge of the
asphalt pavement. Show the asphalt apron on the plans and provide
details for the construction of the asphalt apron.
ii. Please note that the proposed site plan includes more than 1.
acre of proposed land disturbance that has the potential to
directly discharge to waters of the State. The applicant must
prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and
obtain a State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES)
Permit for Construction Activity from the New York State
Department of Environmental_Conservation (NYSDEC) prior to
final approval of this site plan. As the stormwater runoff from
the proposed development does not have the potential to
discharge through the Town's municipal stormwater system,
the Town will not review or approve the SWPPP nor will it sign
the MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form. The applicant should apply
directly to the NYSDEC for a SPDES Construction Permit. The
Town must be provided with documentation that the proposed

is used to construct the 4" compacted base course it must be A.
iv. Specify the use of New York State Department of
Transportation (NYSDOT) Specification RCA only in the
project.
v. Revise the drainage plan and details to show a 15" diameter
corrugated exterior, smooth wall interior high-density
polyethylene pipe in lieu of an 18" diameter corrugated metal
pipe.
vi. Provide certification from the licensed engineer preparing the plan that the
above items have all been met.
3. Show locations of monuments to be installed pursuant to Town Code
requirements (current map on file is missing two monuments, the one between
lots 2 and 4 and the one between lot 4 and the lot to its southwest). Show
monuments for the Lot 1 building envelope, flag, and agricultural building area

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairman Rich: 5:02 PM - RC Church of the Sacred Heart Parish Center—This site
plan is for the proposed creation of a 10,528-9q. ft. parish center on a 5.6-acre split-
zoned parcel, with ±3.0 acres in the RO District and ±2.6 acres in the R-40 District. The
property is located at 14300 NYS Route 25, Mattituck. SCTM#1000-114.-11-1
Anyone wishing to address the Planning Board on this application, please step to the
podium, write your name and state it aloud for the record please. I see we have Pat
Moore here, the agent for this application.
Jessica Michaelis: For the record, the mailings were all done correctly.
Patricia Moore: Yes, we're here to receive comments 'regarding the public hearing for
the church, for the parish center. This parish center is ultimately going to take care of all
the educational meeting services that were previously occurring in Cutchogue, the
Cutchogue facility is in contract for sale to the school and so all activities are going to be
located on this property. So, I have the architect here, if any questions come up
regarding the design, but otherwise we'll take whatever comments and await any
questions the Board has that we can address. Thank you.
Chairman Rich: Thanks Pat, anyone wishing to address the Planning Board on this?
Please state your name and write your name.
Jack Hamilton: My name is Jack Hamilton, I live on Reeve Avenue across from the
priest's house essentially, near the facility that's in question and the church has been
nothing but a good neighbor for decades. We have no objection to any of it. The reason
I'm standing before you is to make sure that the lighting is addressed, because we don't
need any more bright lights in the neighborhood, so I'm concerned about dark skies.
The priest's house is a little bright but it's to be expected with a little change,
unfortunately. But we just don't want to get any further bright lights. We're admirers of
the wildlife and the sky, so I'll sign my name and sit down, thank you.
Chairman Rich: Thank you. Do we have anyone online?
Jessica Michaelis: Yes. Matt G. you may address the Board on the Sacred Heart
Parish Center Site Plan, please state your name for the record and address your
comments to the Board, thank you.
Matthew Galligan: My name is Matthew Galligan, I wanted to talk about the school
street property.
Jessica Michaelis: That hearing will be next.
Matthew Galligan: Thank you.
Jessica Michaelis: You're welcome.
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —January 13, 2025 — Page 29
Chairman Rich: Anyone else wishing to address the Board on this project? Seeing
none. At this point, I'll ask that we adjourn this meeting while we wait for the State
archeological report.
Amelia Jealous-Dank: I make a motion to adjourn the hearing.
Donald Wilcenski: Second.
Chairman Rich: Motion made by Mia, seconded by Don. Any discussion? All in favor?
Ayes.
Opposed?
None.
Motion carries.
Chairman Rich: 5:03 PM - North Street Apartments —This site plan is for the
proposed construction of a 7,918 sq. ft. building consisting of five (5) apartments at
1,199 sq. ft. each, associated driveways and parking, on a vacant 2.3-acre parcel in the
Hamlet Business (HB) Zoning District. The property is located at 645 North Street,
Cutchogue. SCTM#1000-102.-5-9.2
Jessica Michaelis: For the record, the mailings were all done correctly. And Carlos, I'll
allow you to speak, you'll just have to unmute yourself. Pleas state your name,for the
record and address your comments to the Board. If you're on the phone, unmute will be
*6.
Carlos Gala: My name is Carlos Gala from Grammas Consultants. I'm the architect of
the project, if anyone has any questions.
Chairman Rich: Yes, would you please describe the project?
Carlos Gala: Yes, definitely. This is going to be five units, each unit is a one-story
apartment unit of 1,199 square feet per unit, a total of 7,918 square feet of area. The
property is completely buffered on the west side and on the south side of the property
and its going to be right on the corner of Schoolhouse and North,Street. So,
everything's going to be kept as a one-story and its going to be built out of cedar
(inaudible) in the front, column based and the regular vinyl siding around the entire
building. Each apartment is going to have a driveway leading to the garage which is set
back from the front of the property and that's pretty much the same for all five of the
apartments. We provided an ample backyard which is protected with a buffer on the
west side of the property and that's pretty much it. Any questions?
Jessica Michaelis: Thank you, Carlos.
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —January 13, 2025 — Page 30
Chairman Rich: Anyone else? Yes, please state your name and write your name for
the record.
Bruce Stewart: Bruce Stewart, I'm a resident, along with my wife on Schoolhouse
Road and these things have been slipped in before, whether they asked or not and
naturally, we're curious. Is there going to be any income subsidized apartments? Or is
this a get-out-the-checkbook?
Amelia Jealous-Dank: All of your questions will be addressed at a future date; this
hearing is for you to inform us of your questions and concerns.
Chairman Rich: Yes, as Mia stated, if you have concerns, please tell us. But he
application makes it clear, four of these units are market value and one is work-force
rent-governed.
Bruce Stewart: Other than a notice that was nailed to a tree, we didn't know anything
about this: how big its going to be, or is it going to be two-stories, six-stories, we are
curious- that's all. Before we say whether we like it or not, we just want to know what's
going on.
Heather Lanza: Yes, so the plans are all online and also in our office, but we can either
have the architect describe it or I can — it's a one-story building, you can see it's five
units, all attached. This is proposed, it's not a done-deal, we have a lot more review to
do. The workforce housing unit is going to be rent-controlled, so they'll have a maximum
rent that they can charge and the tenant will have to mean a certain income guideline
up to I think 120% - I think- of the average median income, so it's not a low-rent by any
stretch, its actually at the maximum rent right now for a two-bedroom is $2,300?
Mara Cerezo: $2,350
Heather Lanza: $2,350. So, I wouldn't call it low-income, I would call it a middle-
income. So I believe that answers your questions?
Chairman Rich: Yes, and as the architect stated, one-story buildings.
Bruce Stewart: Yeah, well, I stand by what I said: I don't own a computer, so anything I
learned, I learned from that sign that's tacked to that tree. I'm here tonight, because I'd
like to know what the heck is going on, before it's too late. I don't want to hear
somebody tell me: "Oh! We had meetings, you should have gone to them." So, I'm here
now and if that's all you can tell me for now, I guess have a good night.
Chairman Rich: Bruce, before you leave, it is a one-story unit right now, that's the way
its designed, its designed for apartments and it is also subject to ZBA (the Zoning Board
of Appeals) ruling because it's designed — I forget exactly the number— approximately
125 feet left to right, which is more than the code allows, so this is also going to come
up for another hearing through the Town ZBA, if you want to stop at the Planning Board
Southold Town Planninq Board Public 1.Meeting —January 13, 2025 — Page 31
anytime 8-4 Monday through Friday, they can show you the plans and the physical
copies of the plans are in the hallway right now, if that helps you.
Bruce Stewart: Thank you.
Chairman Rich: Thank you for your patience. Anyone else?
Jessica Michaelis: We have someone on Zoom.
John Savits: Good evening, my name is John Savits, I'm a resident of Cutchogue and
we do have a concern about the new development being proposed. Two issues: one
being more activity in the area would require more lighting via street lampposts, it's a
very dark area off the main road, we hope the Board and the Twon takes that into
consideration as well as with the new homes there's going to be less open ground to
absorb the rainwater so there's going to be a lot more runoff and we have— due to the
development—we have a lot of water issues— street flooding in that particular area,
which we hope the Board will take into consideration, the Town take into consideration
how these issues will be addressed before they approve such additional development in
the area. Thank you so much for listening to my concern.
Chairman Rich: Thank you.
Heather Lanza: Flooding on Schoolhouse Road or North Street? Or both?
Donald Wilcenski: That's what I was going to ask.
John Savits: With Schoolhouse being closed, it's a down slope, so the water's
definitely go down off Schoolhouse, onto that side road and (inaudible) location.
Heather Lanza: Thank you.
Chairman Rich: Do you have someone else on Zoom?
Jessica Michelis: Matt G, please state your name and direct your comments to the
Board.
Matthew Galligan: Yes, this is Matthew Galligan, we live at 400 Griffin Street and what
I'm wondering is: will this be the final plot plan as to how the property lays out in that
particular area? And I assume that there's no ability to add apartments once this is
approved.
Heather Lanza: Hi, this is Heather Lanza the Planning Director, this is the proposed
plan, it could potentially change based on what we're hearing and based on more
review. So in terms of adding more apartments later, this won't preclude that, I don't
think.
Matthew Galligan: So there could be additional apartments on that property?
Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting —January 13, 2025 — Page 32
Heather Lanza: Potentially, but that's not being proposed now and that wold be subject
to a future hearing if that was going to happen.
Chairman Rich: This is also subject to a ZBA (Zoning Board of Appeals) hearing
moving forward too. Which could trigger some redesign. Sir, did you hear that? This is
also subject to a ZBA,hearing which could trigger some redesign of the project or a
potential denial.
Matthew Galligan: I understand. Would we be notified when those hearings are?
Chairman Rich: Those hearings will be'publicly notified and if you are a neighbor, you
will get a certified letter, I believe.
Matthew Galligan: Alright, thank you.
Chairman Rich: Thank you. Anyone else?
Do you have anybody else, Jess?
Seeing none. Can I get a motion for adjournment?
Amelia Jealous-Dank: I make a motion to close the hearing.
Donald Wilcenski: Second.
Chairman Rich: Motion made by Mia, seconded by Don. Any discussion? All in favor?
Ayes.
Opposed?
None.
Motion carries.
