We have two public hearings scheduled and I'd like to say "Thank you" to everyone for coming tonight and explain how this process will work to ensure everything runs smoothly.

During the first public hearing we will focus only on the proposed lot change, which would maintain an existing house as a separate lot and merge the remining land into a larger farm parcel. Please limit your comments to the resubdivision during this portion of the meeting. Once we adjourn this hearing, we will move onto the second public hearing, which focuses on the proposed winery. Due to the ongoing SEQRA review, we will adjourn and keep both hearings open for a future date. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Martin is here on behalf of the applicant and will begin with an introduction. Martin Finnegan: Good evening, Martin Finnegan 13250 Main Road, Mattituck for the applicants. I am joined here this evening by Anthony Martinetti and his wife, Angela, who are the owners of the property. The subject parcels are located on Old Sound Avenue in Mattituck, just north of the Long Island Rail Road and east of a large track of preserved land. They are collectively 13.65 acres, the existing parcel 1 is about 4.78 acres, parcel 2 is 8.87 acres. The smaller of the two parcels is currently improved with a single-family residence and various accessory structures, the larger parcel is substantially planted in grapes and other crops is improved with an old blacksmiths barn. The resubdivision or lot line modification application is to reconfigure the lots and to create a smaller parcel 1 that would be about 1.06 acres and encompass the existing residential improvements there, the balance of the 12.59 acres would become a larger parcel 2, with sufficient acreage to accommodate a proposed winery and a farmhouse on the established vineyard and agricultural lands. I didn't realize we were going to Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 — Page 18 .._ ...... ....... ......... .. ... 9 ....... ... ......... ...... ....... ..............._ separate these so I have other stuff to say but I will hold off on that until we do the site plan part of that and just— if there's any questions, my clients and I are here to answer any questions the Board may have. That's it for now, thank you. Chairman Rich: Thank you. Anyone wishing to address the Southold Town Planning Board on this resubdivision? Anyone? Do we have anyone on zoom? Seeing none, I will now ask for a motion to adjourn and old this hearing open at least until March 10tn Amelia Jealous-Dank: I make a motion to adjourn the hearing and hold it open until March 10, 2025. Martin Sidor: Second. Chairman Rich: Motion made by Mia, seconded by Martin. Any discussion? All in favor? Ayes. Opposed? None. Motion carries. Chairman Rich: 5:02 PM - Old Sound Winery & Farmhouse —This Site.Plan proposes a 4,800 sq. ft. winery with a tasting room and basement storage, preserving an existing greenhouse and barn/potting shed, and repurposing�a historic blacksmith shop for storage. The plan includes 29 parking stalls, pedestrian access to the winery, a building envelope for a future farmhouse, and designated areas for agricultural plantings. After Resubdivision, the 12.59-acre parcel spans R-40 (±0.74 acres) and R- 80 (±11.85 acres) zoning in Mattituck SCTM#1000-122.-2-8.1 & 24.4 Martin Finnegan: Good evening again, Martin Finnegan, 13250 Main Road, Mattituck for the applicants. For the record, I will say again that I am joined this evening by the property owners Anthony Martinetti and his wife, Agnela. I'm also joined by Chris Dwyer from LKMA who is the project engineer for the site planning. I know Jim described the properties but I'd like to go through it again for the record of this hearing that we have basically, should the lot line modification application or resubdivision application be granted, we're site planning what is left of that 12.59-acre parcel, which would be parcel two. And the site plan application is for the establishment of a winery on that parcel, just to speak briefly about Old Sound Vineyard, the vineyard currently farms merlot, and cabernet frac grapes that were planted in 2006, when it was Grammercy vineyard. After three years of ground preparation, blocks of gamay and albarino were planted this past year. The vineyard layout and the related agricultural production are detailed on the site plan. In 2022, Old Sounds first vintage produced 480 cases of wine, the following year Southold Town Planninq Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 - Page 19 they produced 540 cases of wine and they continue to produce wine today. The applicants are proposing a 4,800 square foot winery tasting room facility on two levels. The main level will have an 1,800 square foot area devoted to the wine tasting with 681 square feet of the first level used for processing and wine storage, the lower level — which would be the same square footage, 2,100 square feet—will essentially be a storage area for wine. The wine area is proposed to take access off of Old Sound Avenue, over a gravel driveway, the proposed parking areas and pedestrian walkways are also detailed on the site plan. The applicants intend to manage the vineyard and tasting room operations themselves, they hope to produce and sell all of their wines at the proposed winery if approved. I note that we did receive letters in support from contiguous neighbors, those that are the closest to this property abuts the cottages development, I've seen many, many homeowners in there, but three of them that are just right on the top there offered letters in support. I'm not aware of any letters in opposition, so that is essentially it. And as I said, Anthony and Angela are here to address any questions the Board may have, Chris Dwyer is also here as well to address any questions. Chairman Rich: Thank you, Martin. Mark Terry: I have a question: which neighbors - Heather Lanza: Sir, you'll have to step to a microphone and state your name for the record. (laughter) Mark Terry: Mark Terry, Assistant Town Planning Director, I have a question: which neighbors gave you letters of approval or letters of support. Martin Finnegan: I can answer that, Mark. The letters were submitted, for the record, the neighbors are - Mark Terry: Would you point them out on the screen? Anthony Marnetti: I can do that— if you'd like. I'm Anthony Marnetti and the— labeled in "M" is where the existing chicken barn was when the Demchucks owned the property for most of I guess the twentieth century. I've spoken to everyone on The Cottages and the three closest, Jay and Tara Haas, who live right here, Juanita who loves right here and Matt and his wife, they are the most contiguous here. I could not get in touch with this person who lives here, with as many times. as we've stopped by. We've felt that they were the most three— most important. We've spoken to all the other neighbors in the area and have gotten very positive feedback that we are looking to continue farming this. As a vineyard, we live in this house which is the most continuous house to the proposed tasting room and we live there full-time with our 1-year-old son, just to give some, I guess color to what we're planning on doing here. And the neighbors that border Rob Ross and Daniella here, are both very happy that this will be remaining, they have not provided a letter, but if needed, we could get them. I felt these three were the most important over here. Southold Town Planninq Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 — Page 20 Chairman Rich: Thank you. Martin Finnegan: I'll double check with the office tomorrow, if the records going to remain open, I'll just double check these letters, I thought we submitted them but we'll get them in. This meeting will be adjourned and left open? Chairman Rich: Yes, it will. Yes, it will. Anyone else wishing to address the Planning Board on the Old Sound Winery and Farmhouse? Do we have anybody on Zoom? Heather Lanza: Ms. Jiminez, you're able to talk. Kristin Jiminez: Hi, can you hear me? Chairman Rich: Yes, state your name for the record please? Kristin Jiminez: My name is Kristin Jiminez. So, I live at 9280 Old Sound Avenue and I got a letter about this proposed change so I just wanted to express some of my concerns. I did write a letter but I guess I didn't meet the cutoff or whatever so I just wanted to poll some concerns. Chairman Rich: Ms. Jiminez, the hearing will be held open until March loth, so you can still make your comments, but you could also submit a letter if you would like to. Kristin Jiminez: Okay, I already emailed the email that was provided with the stuff, if that's enough then that was already done. Amelia Jealous-Dank: Please reiterate your concerns while you're on with us, please? Kristin Jiminez: Sure, I just would like to ask if the winery is permitted to go through in this residential neighborhood with so many kids in it, what actions are going to be taken to mitigate this already bad traffic situation that we have on this road? Presumably this is going to bring some more traffic, presumably, it's going to bring some drinking to that traffic and I'm already concerned about speeding on this road and increased traffic so something like this as opposed to just being a vineyard and a private residence is inevitably going to bring in more traffic. So, has any considerations been done as to how we don't have major accidents in front of my house? That's one concern, another concern would be the noise level. Usually, wineries in this town hold events and those events are noisy, people in this neighborhood are already subject to several venues that have noise in the busy season so I would not like to see a dueling banjos scenario that we are constantly just battered with noise on the weekends. So that s a concern of mine also. And lastly, we specifically at 9280 Old Sound have been dealing with. construction for the past decade. I've lived here for seventeen years, on the west side, we had renovations and as soon as those were done, across the street they made a whole Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 — Page 21 house and as soon as those were done, next door on the east side, they've been renovating for three years, so I'm hesitant to sign us up for more renovations noise and then have it be a permanent noise and more activity level in our quiet neighborhood. So, I understand that they have bene positive feedback from neighbors but there are also concerns from neighbors in the neighborhood. So, the specifics of my concerns can ne noted in the email I sent this morning. Chairman Rich: Did you send your email to the Planning Board? Kristin Jiminez: I sent my email to iessicam(D-southoldtownny.gov as specified in the packet. Chairman Rich: Perfect, then she will forward it to us and that will be part of the record as will your comments. I think as we move forward, your comments will be addressed. Thank you for your comments. Kristin Jiminez: I appreciate that. Thank you. Chairman Rich: Anyone else? Mara Cerezo: We have another hand up. Chris Chaski: Perfect. I was just wondering if there will be large events or even small events there such as weddings and other types of parties or if the vineyard would otherwise be closed. Heather Lanza: What are your concerns about that? Chris Chaski: I'm just wondering if its going to be an event venue or if it's just going to be a small winery, similar to let's say Croteaux, which is, more or less, — as far as I know— not used for events. Chairman Rich: Chris, this is Chairman Rich, I'm going to ask— Martin, do you want to answer that? Martin Finegan: The operational plans for the winery are generally to be seasonal and primarily on the weekend times for the sale of wine and tasting. I don't know— at this point—whether there could be, obviously there's special events that are allowed to happen under the code, if the rules are followed but I cant say that they are never, ever going to have an event on the property, but I don't think the business model that is proposed for this is something that is designed to promote it as an event space or anything, it's a very small building, it's a small property and the goal of the site planning is to have a winery and tasting facility to make and sell wine. Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 — Page 22' Chris Chaski: Okay, so when you say "seasonal" does that mean it would ne not open all year round? Again, we'll use Croteaux as an example, which closes around Thanksgiving. Chairman Rich: We'll let the owner make a couple of comments here. Anthony Marnetti: Hi, this is once again Anthony Martinetti. The goal of our tasting room is to sell all the wine that we make. Speaking to the neighbors directly, I'd like to say that our goal is to cover our mortgage and keep the land agricultural because its where we live. I can't say that we will never have any events, but I can give you my word that these events will not be large, we do not have an excess of wine to-produce. We, right now, are making 480 cases, each year, maybe it'll be a little bit more, but that is 1/100 the of the size of other vineyards that are having these large events. We do not have room for parking for people, we do not want tour busses, we will not have them. This is not the type of operation we are looking to run, if that helps. I hope it does. That's about all I can tell you about our business model. The interior space that we have filed with the building department— if we are able to build a building, even if we could afford to— it only has 40 seats, this is not a Pindar, it is not a Duck Walk. If you know or are familiar with the Old Field or what McCall used to be, before they built the big barn — that is much more in line with what we are applying to do. Chairman Rich: Thank you. Chris Chaski: Okay, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it. Chairman Rich: Thanks, Chris. Anyone else on Zoom or in the audience? Heather Lanza: Mary, go ahead and unmute yourself. Mary Eisenstein: I did, thank you. Good evening, my question is: how many acres are going to be planted with grapes? Chairman Rich: I'm going to let the owner answer that, Mary. Anthony Marnetti: There,are currently eight acres planted with grapes, when we bought it, there was five. We have planted in April of 2024, three more acres of grapes, which you can see — I can't read the blocks — but the eastern most block, along the cottages, I can't read that letter, that is where we have planted and almost two acres of grapes down there this past year. After we're having the land for two years, that is fully irrigated block and I think it's letter "I" where we've planted another .75 acres of grapes. At the top, below where the tasting room is, that—the plan right now is-future fruit trees and vegetables which would be servicing the restaurants I own, like the Old Mill down the road. Amelia Jealous-Dank: So the total acreage would be - ? Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 — Page 23 Anthony Marnetti: Eight acres of grapes currently planted and I think there's about one acre left with all of the cutouts, because we have travel ways and pathways between the blocks for tractors. We've just about used every single space that we could on the property. Chairman Rich: So, eight to nine is about the max and then the rest is an orchard? Anthony Marnetti: Yes, we've got an orchard with four fruit trees which gave us about 400 pounds of apples each year and we're making cider with those with Trieber Farms. Amelia Jealous-Dank: Thank you. Chairman Rich: Thank you. Mary Eisenstein: As a follow-up question: so, it's 8.9 acres of grapes and the tasting room then, the intention, I heard what Martin had to say, but the tasting room then, the intention of the tasting room is to do what? Given the fact that they're twenty-nine parking spaces that is being asked for, so what is the intention of the tasting room? Martin Finegan: As we stated before, Mary, the intention is to make wine, offer it for tasting to patrons and sell wine that is produced on the property. Mary Eisenstein: So, just to connect the two —what kind of events then, would be the intention to hold there considering the want for twenty-nine parking spaces and the tasting room and applying for events? Martin Finegan: I can't really answer that right now. I don't know what kind of events may or may not occur in the future. Site plan contemplates twenty-one parking spaces for the actual uses that are there and there are some additional seven or eight parking — one handicap and then 7 land bank spots, so that's the total which is — really the majority of the parking is for the tasting room use itself, the winery use. Mary Eisenstein: Just as a thought to the Board: the zoning here is — and I understand there are some people in the community that didn't receive letters and this has come as a surprise and — its about the zoning. So, the zoning here is R-40 and R-80, which are both residential. What's being introduced here is a commercial aspect to a zoning of R- 40 and R-80 and the individuals who are residential in this area, I think, are not aware of the fact that you can have this commercial aspect introduced to a residential area. So, I'm recommending that there needs to be some education around that. Chairman Rich: Okay, thank you. Mary, any other comments? Mary Eisenstein: No, thank you very much. Chairman Rich: Thanks. Southold Town Planning Board Public Meeting — February 10, 2025 — Page 24 Anyone else? Mark Terry: Mark Terry, Assistant Town Planning Director. So, I'd like to know the person who designed this. This is a residential lot with a residential structure on it, correct? Yes? You have an access drive on their boarder and then a parking lot right behind them and I just wanted to have the Board take note of that and if there's a better design in the future, obviously it should be considered, because this lot here is really being impacted as you have patrons and customers come in and park there. It's not that far back, but if your parking lot is here and your access road is right against the property line, I think they're going to be impacted to the point where their quality of life would suffer. I just want to make that point to the Board, it's a design issue, design process as you get into it. Chairman Rich: Well, in the past we have changed parking directions to reduce headlights and things like that. This is a preliminary hearing on this. Anyone else? Please step up, state and write your name, Sir. Ronald Mazzaferro: My name is Ronald Mazzaferro and I live at 9450 on Sound Avenue, which is right on the edge,of where the parking lot is going to be. And I'd just like to let you know that I think it's a good idea to have the vineyard there and, you know, keep the wine tasting reasonable] can't see any problems with it at all. That's all I had to say. Chairman Rich: Thank you very much, Mr. Mazzaferro. No hands? No? Okay. Amelia Jealous-Dank: I move that we adjourn this application until March 10, 2025. Martin Sidor: Second. Chairman Rich: Again, we will be accepting comments as well as having a hearing open until March loth Martin Finegan: I just want to clarify; the record will remain open or there will be another hearing on March 1 oth? Are we just keeping the record open for SEQRA Determination and comments? Heather Lanza: The hearing will be open until March 1 oth because we have to do SEQRA. Martin Finegan: Okay, so are we having to appear again on March 10th? Chairman Rich: Yes. Martin Finegan: Okay, thank you.
