PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairperson Woodhouse: 6:00 p.m. - Ioannou, Constantine - This proposed standard
subdivision is for 3 lots on 6.81 acres where Lot 1 equals 92,332 sq. ft., Lot 2 equals
124,679 sq. ft., inclusive of the 25' wide right-of-way, and Lot 3 equals 80,000 sq. ft.
The property is located on the north side of State Road 25, 4,848 ft. e/o Kayleigh's
Court, in East Marion. SCTM#1000-23-1-14.7
Is there anyone here who would like to speak on this application?
Patricia Moore, Esq., 51020 Main Road, Southold, Attorney for the Applicant: Good
evening, Madame Chairman. Good evening, Board. Just for the record, this application
was first submitted to the Planning Board of Southold in '99. It went through New York
State Supreme Court action, Appellate Division action, where the owner succeeded in
the submission of this plan. It was then submitted to this Board, went through a
moratorium, got a waiver of the moratorium and here we are going through the process
under the new subdivision regulations. So, we have the preliminary plan that is before
this Board today. We are before the Health Department and we hope to have Health
Department approval shortly. We are just finishing up with the final requirements of the
Health Department, so, hopefully, within the next couple of months we will have a
stamped, approved map that we can submit to this Board for final approval. Thank you.
Jackie Testani(sp.?): I'm speaking for my parents, Lorenzo and Janet Profetta(sp.?)
who own the adjacent lot west of Mr. Ioannou. We are neighbors and so we don't have
ill will and so we want to express that. We just have some concerns and questions for
Ms. Moore and for the Board concerning this tidal wetlands area. For a global concern,
we worry about the environment and we know there was a moratorium about
subdivisions and there was good reason for it. There has been excessive development
in the area and so we are concerned with keeping the complexion of this very peaceful
waterfront property the way it is - to preserve it - and we're concerned with the types of
houses and the way they're going up. They're all so big and they're one on top of each
other and we've really gotten so far away from what East Marion and Orient have been
for our family and, I know, for many members of the community. So, that's one of our
concerns - that this area, which is directly adjacent to the water, is also a habitat for so
many animals. We know - everyone knows here how the fishing has died out from
over-use and pollution and other reasons and we want to protect the remaining animals
that do live off the waterfront area. We're worried and concerned about what further
building will do to this area and we're also worried about the well water and how we can
all share it and what construction may do to impact that. We hope that these concerns
are addressed when the Board discusses this and determines whether further
subdivision, further building, of this area should be permitted.
Also, my Dad, who is sitting right here, was concerned because he noticed on the plans
that there is a right-of-way that's on his property. We wish that someone had spoken to
us. Are the Ioannous going to be using that right-of-way? Do they have the right to use
it to bring down construction trucks and other vehicles? What's it going to do on a
personal level to my parents who are elderly and are out there for peace and quiet?
What kind of permits are there going to be that they're planning on building on this area
2
that just really slopes right into the water? Will there be flooding to my parents'
property? Will there be excessive noise?
We just hope that the Board thinks about the adjacent property owners - one of them is
away in Las Vegas right now for the winter and he can't come here and speak tonight.
We're kind of here for the neighbors. We want to maintain a neighborly area. We have
good will. We just want to make sure that everybody's interests are preserved, including
and most importantly, the environment. I don't know how this runs. I don't do property
law so I don't know how these issues are addressed.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Well, you've raised some questions that I think perhaps the
attorney can answer and if the Staff would like to say something, they could. What
we're talking about tonight is the preliminary plat so there will be some conditions that
we'll read if we're going to approve that tonight that will address some of your concerns.
Jackie Testani(sp.?): One other thing is I understand the Health Department is
approving something or has issues there. What are those issues?
Ms. Woodhouse: O.K.
Patricia Moore, Esq.: Let me take one at a time here - the proposed subdivision does
show a building envelope on each of the parcels. Each of these building envelopes are
set back at least 100 feet from the top of the bluff which is in conformity to the current
Code and is in accordance with the way the subdivision regulations are applied in
Southold. So, right off the bat the construction of- one of these is an existing home
that's already set back probably 500 feet from the top of the bank. That's the master
home, the original home there. There is what is identified as Lot I and it has the 100
foot set-back which will be incorporated into the filed map and therefore any future
property owners will have to build at an appropriate set-back. The subdivision
regulations now require clearing limits where as when her father built, there were no
such clearing limits. Each of these lots have set forth clearing limits of 25% that are
identified specifically on the map so that the filed map will have that shown in perpetuity
as well. As far as the vegetation clearing, vegetation and wetland issues - those things
are covered by the design of the map. The access to this property is by way of a flag -
a shared common access on Route 25 so each of these parcels will get access via this
shared access. We do not have access for Lot 1 over a right-of-way that is shown as
part of, I guess, serving your property - is that it? And Bolletino, right?
Jackie Testani(sp.?): So this right-of-way you do not have access to?
Ms. Moore: No, we are not using that as our access. Whether or not we have access, I
don't know. I've never researched that question but we have the primary access for this
property being the shared access of the three lots. So, that would be the primary
access. If that's a condition of the Planning Board approval, I don't see that as being a
problem since that's the intent by the map. I did speak with Mr. Boltetino who I know
personally - Mr. Bolletino called and his only concern was with respect to pointing out
that his sanitary facility on his property - it's actually shown on this map and we were
already aware of it - his concern was that there wouldn't be any trespassing exceeding
3
the access so that we would not impact his sanitary which has a retaining wall around it.
I assured him that, when we do the design specifications for the right-of-way, that I'll
ask the engineer to show the access as close to the easterly side as possible so as to
keep a safe distance from the sanitary system and the retaining wall. Obviously, nobody
gives consent for a contractor or property owner to trespass - that would never be the
intent but, just to make things a little more comfortable for a contractor when they do
the design of the road, we'll try to push the access, the driveway access - when the
improvements take place - over towards the easterly side. That was the Bolletino
comment and I already spoke to my client, Mr. Ioannou, and he had no objection to
that.
The wetland that is down to the south, on the south side of Main Road, is a passive
area that is part of this subdivision that is shown on the map but there's nothing being
done to it. It remains in its natural state. That was on the original filed map and it
continues today. We can include covenants that say that but that is the state of the tidal
wetlands system that is on the south side of Main Road.
Sanitary issues - the Health Department is concerned with maintaining septic and well
distances at an appropriate 150 foot distance or 100 feet depending on the depths of
the wells. I believe that the wells in this area tend to be quite deep so I believe they go
down beyond 40 feet so the distance from sanitary to well is actually - the standard is
only 100 feet whereas our surveyor has actually placed a 150 foot distance as
precautionary measures. So, all our sanitary systems and wells are exceeding the
Health Department standards here. Our water quality has come in good so there are no
issues with respect to water quality. Did I answer everything?
Jackie Testani(sp.?): Almost.
Ms. Moore: O.K. What's left?
Jackie Testani(sp.?): It's true that housing can be built 100 feet from the water but just
because it's permitted to be so doesn't make it correct. All the other houses in that area
are, as Ms. Moore has said, like 500 feet from the water line and that is also a concern
because it does completely change the complexion of the area if you're having one
house that's really butting out away from the other houses. And that's clear from the
plans that it looks like the proposed dwelling - and I know that's not the issue for tonight
- the proposed dwelling is inordinately close to the shoreline, more so than all the other
houses. So that is a concern for us as well.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Ms. Moore, do you have a response?
Patricia Moore, Esq.: I can only tell you what the Code requires which is a 100-foot set-
back from the top of the bluff. That's what the Code requires and that would be the
closest point. What point a house would be built many times, a house is built with room
for pools or whatever other accessory structures. The planning involved with the
individual homeowners - house location we leave to each homeowner. The map will
identify the building envelope and that is what the Town Code has recognized as a fair
and safe distance to the top of the bluff. Anything further away, my client owns the
4
piece - owns the house on Lot 2 so I'm sure that he will be cognizant of the location of
a house on Lot 1 since he is probably more impacted than the neighbors.
Ms. Woodhouse: I don't have the map in front of me but the lots - is there enough
distance that the house could go back beyond 100 feet off the bluff?
Ms. Moore: Yes, the building envelope is quite generous. The only thing is that when it
comes to the accessory structures, most people build decks - it's not just the house; it's
decks and pools and things like that. When you keep that mapped distance, then it
gives plenty of reom for a property owner to think ahead of what structures and
accessory structures they might plan. As you shrink the building envelope, you start
impacting the development of the property and the need for variances. We want to
make a building envelope that is reasonable and generous so that we don't create a
situation where you automatically need variances as soon as you've completed the
map. That's not what the Planning Board usually intends.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you. Any other comments?
Jackie Testani(sp.?): Just a final point - o.k., it's great that you want as much space to
develop your property or your pools, your deck, your house but all we ask is that there
would be a concern for the environment that's right there - all the fish, the deer, the
raccoons that dwell in that area right by the water. And the bluff - it's really not that
much, 100 feet is nothing from the shoreline. And Mr. Ioannou knew that because he
built his house 500 feet from the shoreline and there is flooding there. I don't know if the
Board would like to take a look at the plans, whether that would help.
Ms. Woodhouse: This is just conditional for this subdivision so, at this point -
Jackie Testani(sp.?): I'm just concerned because once there's a subdivision, then
there's building.
Ms. Woodhouse: There will some other steps and some requirements that the Planning
Board would put on the way in which the subdivision takes place. There will be other
opportunities for you also to come back during the process.
Jackie Testani(sp.?): Thank you very much.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you.
Jackie Testani(sp.?): Have a good evening.
Ms. Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board? Yes, Sir?.
Lorenzo Profeta: I am the husband of Janet Profeta. I can see on the map, you're going
to build 100 feet from the water. This 100 feet from the water, up to 200-300 feet is
about 1 foot above the water level. If they build a cesspool, they are going to
contaminate the area completely. And as for the view, why should they build there. It
will be in front of my house. I wouldn't buy this house if I knew this was going to
happen. And if he applied five years ago, why weren't we notified before you approved
this subdivision? There was one lot there. That's what he had in mind. That's all it was.
We should have been notified five years ago. This is not fair. This is pure formality but
legally I think it's wrong.
Ms. Woodhouse: Let me just say that, at the point in which there is a public hearing,
then you are notified but people come and make applications all the time and they may
not even follow through with them so there is no mechanism to notify immediate
neighbors once an initial application has been made. But this hearing tonight is an
opportunity for you and any other neighbors in your area to come and express your
concerns to us.
Mr. Profeta: The lawyer says that they made the application five years ago - 1999.
Ms. Woodhouse: Yes. The application came in but -
Mr. Profeta: In 1999 - five years - you had no time to notify the neighbors or to ask
what we thought about it? Come on, let's be reasonable.
Ms. Woodhouse: O.K. Thank you.
Mr. Profeta: Thank you.
Ms. Woodhouse: is there anyone else who would like to address us on this matte~ Ms.
Moore?
Patricia Moore, Esq.: I would just want to clarify for the record, the sanitary system that
is proposed is proposed at almost it looks like more than 350 feet from the top of the
bluff. The water is another 50 feet from the top of the bluff so, when we're talking about
the set-backs here, we are not measuring from the water; we are measuring from the
top of the bluff-where it is actually mapped on this subdivision map. So, we will not
impact in any way the water quality through our sanitary system.
And, just for clarification, this subdivision - the Planning Board tried to stop our
processing of this application; we won in the Supreme Court. We then won in the
Appellate Division to allow this subdivision to proceed. So, the fact that it's taken five
years, is not that we chose not to proceed with this application; it's that there were
efforts to prevent us from making the application and we were able to overcome those
hurdles. So, here we are with an application that meets the Town Code in every respect
and we would ask the Board to approve it and we would ask that in good faith you don't
place conditions that, again, create obstacles that are unreasonable for the owner to
accept. We'll wait and see what your conditions are but keep in mind that here we are
with an application that exceeds any of the minimum requirements. Thank you.
Ms. Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on this

Chairperson Woodhouse: 6:05 p.m. - David Rose Perennials - This site plan is for a
new 10,000 sq. ft. building with 1,600 sq. ft. of office/miscellaneous space on the first
floor, 1,600 sq. ft. of storage on the second floor and 8,400 sq. ft. of storage warehouse
at grade on a 39.4 acre parcel in the A-C Zone located approximately 1,807' s/o Sound
Avenue, on the w/s/o Aldrich Lane, known as 5645 Aldrich Lane, in Mattituck.
SCTM#1000-120-3-11.12
Is there anyone here who would like to speak on behalf of the applicant?
Patricia Moore, Esq.1 51020 Main Road, Southold: Mr. Harbes is here today if there are
any specific questions that we need to answer. Hopefully we can resolve them tonight. I
presented to the Board, and it's already in your file, a memorandum that sets forth the
facts of this case so that we could make very clear that the location of the building is, in
fact, set back way into the property. The access - the driveway - exceeds the 15 feet
that is required in the Code. We actually have a 20-foot driveway access. The property
has natural existing vegetation off of Aldrich Lane. The property begins tucked up
behind another piece and there are very tall evergreens - arborvitae - along the entire
length, half-way up Aldrich Lane and then the parcel then continues in agricultural
production which is actually used by Mr. Harbes with few crops. Corn is planted there or
some other few crop on an annual basis. What I tried to do in this memorandum is at
least give you some background on the legislative history of agriculture and the
presumption that is set forth in both the State Law and in our Town Code regarding
agricultural uses and I wanted to have that in the record for you so it will be clear to this
Board and anyone else later on who might see this application.
We are here to answer any questions. The site plan pretty much speaks for itself. The
building is existing at this point. It originally was constructed as a storage building and
then the site plan elements were required when Mr. Harbes, David Rose Perennials,
required office space inside the building. So, the building itself is not expanding; it is
already built. It's as built and we're just dealing with the internal space and the use of
that internal space. Any questions at this point?
Ms. Woodhouse: There might be some from the audience.
Ms. Moore: O.K. I'll step aside.
Ms. Woodhouse: Let's have an opportunity for anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application. Please come forward. Yes, Sir?
John Grauer, 2100 Aldrich Lane: I have lived there for the past eighteen years. Aldrich
Lane is currently designated an alternate Route 25 truck reute. We bear a heavy
burden with traffic as it is. Mr. Harbes, David Rose Perennials, is currently in the
process of cutting in a read off of Aldrich Lane, 1,500 feet south of Sound Avenue. We
fear for the extra burden that trucking to and from there will have on this community in
addition to the residential sites, home sites, along the read - Aldrich Lane. At the
southern end of the read there is a large recreational area - soccer fields, baseball
fields. The read, at that point, would be a cemetery across the way. Normally, the read
access narrows to one lane at that area. On the northern end of the read, there is
limited sight distance when you try to turn right or left onto Sound Avenue by current
foliage and also by the traffic drawn to Harbes Farm in the summertime. So, that's a
major concern - the traffic that would be generated coming off that access reute. In
addition, on the southern end of Aldrich, off of Franklin Road, there is a new access. At
that location, there would probably be a better alternate site onto Sound Avenue for
access and egress to the property. I have nothing else to say. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Where are you proposing the other access?
Mr. Grauer: Adjacent property that Harbes Farms now owns directly onto Sound
Avenue, approximately 2,500 feet west of Aldrich Lane with a much clearer sight for
both east and west exiting traffic.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there someone else who would like to address the
Board on this application?
Nyla Lamm, 4150 Aldrich Lane: I've resided there for twelve years. I'd like to read a
statement, please. This is a letter of objection to the driveway access and egress to the
site plan for the David Rose Perennial Nursery: Respectfully submitted is my letter of
objection to the current location and continuous use of the David Rose Perennial
Wholesale Nursery ddveway located directly 71 feet across the street from the center of
my home which has not been designated on a site plan submitted to the Town Planning
Board. Given the Town's approval for the driveway specified on the new site plan, I
further object to David Rose Perennial's continued usage of the current driveway as a
second driveway directly in front of my home. This concern arose from the statement
made by Ms. Woodhouse on January 3, 2005 at the Town Planning Board Work
Session at which time Ms. Woodhouse stated that although the site plan may designate
a location with an entrance and egress directly on the David Rose Property located on
Aldrich Lane further north of my home, they may still continue to use the current
driveway located directly in front of my home and I question why do they need to use
two driveways? Establishing a commercial wholesale business with its driveway directly
across from and within close proximity to my home and those other residential homes
on Aldrich Lane destroys the quality of a peaceful residential life. It is not zoned
commercial wholesale. Specifically, it has imposed visually, auditorally and physically
offensive commercial vehicles with the large size eighteen, twelve, ten and eight wheel
trucks, the loud noise and rumbling of the ground with the size of those commercial
vehicles and the weight of the cargo. It has increased the volume of commercial traffic.
It has decreased the safety for children who are playing on the front lawns given that it
is a road for commercial usage. This increases - as the prior individual has stated, it
increases that traffic. It also decreases the value of our home and our property. Large
tractor-trailers have difficulty turning and entering and exiting the existing wholesale
nursery driveway, hence, they pull up onto the front grass to the edge of a three-foot
hedge and back and forth their way into the wholesale nursery driveway. On November
12, 2004, I spoke with Mr. Peter Harbes requesting he please move the driveway either
further south and north but not directly in front of my home due to my aforementioned
concerns. His verbal response at that time was I can't move the driveway further north
because it would cut into my profit. Quoting Peter Harbes, the initial driveway was
located further south but recently moved to its current location because the residents on
the south side have already objected due to the large trucks driving too close to their
homes and driving on their grass. On November 18, 2004, he installed a fence on the
south side of the driveway further solidifying the current location of the driveway directly
in front of my home. In January 2005, he installed a commercial mailbox on the north
side of the driveway which states 5645 Aldrich Lane, David Rose Perennials. This
further solidifies the current location of the driveway directly in front of my home. This
notifies drivere where to enter between the fence and the mailbox. Is this the intention
to submit one driveway site plan and to continue to use the non-specified site plan as
]0
the second driveway?. On November 12, 2004, there was a letter from the Mattituck Fire
Department which recommended quote because the owner has assured the Board that
there will no longer be a large fuel storage on the aforementioned property and that all
fuel will be supplied from Sound Avenue by KeySpan Energy and, as the prior individual
who spoke, that is a question I submit to the Board - is that a possible location for an
entrance and egress to this property from Sound Avenue? I have a question - why did
Southold Town Planning Board previously approve the two subdivisions of the Harbes,
David Rose Perennial Nursery, but it was one Harbes property, when it was in violation
of Suffolk County Department of Health Code due to non-submission of site plans for
the subdivision, per the letter from Mr. John Fitzgerald? I thought governmental entities
of County and Town jointly respected, upheld and enforced legal ruling and were
neither influenced by nor acted upon an individual's wishes or actions with disregard for
other entities' legal rulings. For example, I question why, on January 3, 2005 at the
Southold Town Planning Board Work Session, when I presented this violation to the
Planning Board Members and Mr. Peter Harbes' attorney, Patricia Moore, I was told by
Ms. Moore and the Planning Board that Mr. Harbes was not required to submit a site
plan to Suffolk County Department of Health and his property was not in violation
because the subdivision occurred prior to the aforemention of Suffolk County Code and
he was not required to comply retrospectively. This statement by Ms. Moore was not
correct per Mr. John Fitzgerald's phone conversation with me on January 5th, 2005 at
which time he informed me that the aforementioned Suffolk County Department of
Health Code was enacted January 1st, 1981, prior to the subdivision. And both Mr.
Peter Harbes and his attorney, Patricia Moore, were informed of the enacted Code
date, however, they continued to be non-compliant. If that information was readily
available to me, I question why Southold Town did not obtain these facts. Today,
January 14th, 2005, I spoke with Mr. John Fitzgerald who told me and I quote to date
Mr. Harbes' attorney has recently submitted a site plan to legalize this land, however, it
does not have Suffolk County approval. I then asked him could the Town Planning
Board approve this site plan given it does not currently have Suffolk County approval
and his response was quote no, Southold Town Planning Board should not grant
approval without Suffolk County's legal approval first. I understand that Southold Town
has received millions of dollars to promote and protect open land and farming which
those of us who reside here support. However, when two crop farming per year
becomes year round farming which results in chaotic traffic congestion and gridlock, the
purpose of maintaining open land that is to prevent over development with its
overcrowding and increased traffic which destroys peaceful rural existence, is
completely defeated. For example, the Harbes' retail farm on Sound Avenue has
caused traffic stand still and accidents on Sound Avenue throughout the spring,
summer and autumn seasons and I ask where is our peace and our rights to live in a
supposed rural life? This open land, rural life seems to be sham. It's great for Mr.
Harbes and family to make their financial profits but the local residents' rights to drive
through Laurel have been stripped. It sometimes, during those seasons, can take an
individual forty-five minutes to drive from Aldrich Lane to Riverhead due to the
increased traffic. I don't want the same scenario to be perpetuated in front of our homes
on Aldrich Lane. Maximizing commercial wholesale profit supercedes respecting the
moral value of the residential individual homeowner. This proclaims that the highest
value is commercial wholesale business for profit under the guise of protecting and
living within a zoned residential agricultural conservation neighborhood. It's a sham
]!
because it sounds peaceful and uncongested but the reality is a nightmare for those of
us who have to live with the assault of congestion. When laws enacted to protect
peoples' rights from excesses of commercial greed are superceded by a wholesaler's
ability to find loopholes to exist in a residential zone, this results in obstruction of the
individual's quality of residential life, safety of person and property and devaluation of
an individual's residential home and property for the sole purpose of increasing the
wholesaler's financial profit. The right to live in peace should not be sacrificed to the
god of commercial greed. I'd just like to quote Thomas Jefferson - the selfish spirit of
commerce knows no country and feels no passion or principal but that of gain. Thank
you for the opportunity for me to make this letter of objection and I hope that you do not
grant approval for the driveway entrance and exit to this wholesale nursery on Aldrich
Lane. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to speak? Yes, Madame?
Susan Baird, 1745 Aldrich Lane: We've lived there for eleven years. Actually the reason
that I'm here is not so much to say not to grant the application but Aldrich Lane is
becoming, as other people have mentioned, very dangerous between the ball field, the
soccer field and now the basketball courts. I have two young kids. It's very dangerous.
It's a truck route. The care - I can't even tell you how fast they go down, even in the
morning with all the kids standing out at the bus stop. So, my question really is - is
there any way to guide this so that there is some sort - I don't know - it's a straight
road. I don't know, you can't really put a stop light on it but is there anything that we can
do to try to control the traffic to make it safer for the people who live there? I understand
that it's a farm and that people need to make a living and I certainly don't have anything
against the nurseries. I'm just wondering, since this is a fact of life and this is what's
happening, is there any way that we can guide the traffic a little bit more to make it
safer for the people who live there? I don't know if that's something that the Planning
Board has to deal with - do you have anything to do with the traffic or is that a whole
another?. You do? O.K. Like I said, this has been an on-going problem and this has
actually kind of turned into an opportunity for myself and my neighbors to bring it up
again. Like I said, we're just very, very concerned. The traffic is - because it is the truck
reute - we had brought this up a few years ago and they had said that, at one point,
after the bridge was raised they were going to move the truck reute and, as it went
through Mattituck, they realized that there was a lot of congestion and then they put the
truck reute back onto Aldrich Lane again. So, if you could look into some way of
controlling the traffic, either a stop sign or speed bumps or something to slow them
down and control it, that's basically what we're looking to achieve. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: You're welcome. Is there someone else who would like to
address the Board? Please.
Patrick Hyland, 1055 Harvest Lane: I live on the corner of Aldrich and Harvest, directly
across from the proposed site for putting in that driveway. I don't want to re-state
everything that's been said this evening but I agree with everything that's been said
about the concerns about not only the safety, but the quality of life being in a residential
area across from a proposed commercial area. I cannot imagine waking up to the
sounds at 3, 4, 5:00 in the morning to tractor-trailers turning directly in front of my
home, let alone what goes on during the day during the normal business hours. So, it is
a very big concern of mine and I am strongly opposed to this driveway going in where it
is directly across the street from my home.
Ms. Woodhouse: Would anyone else like to speak to the Board? Yes, Sir?.
Robert Kull, 4270 Aldrich Lane: I've talked to several of you already on the phone. I live
right across the street from this driveway going in and it's terrible already. It's not even
done and it's horrible. I have cars pulling in my driveway already, divots all over my
yard. I can just imagine when it's done. I have a four-month-old daughter. What's that
going to be like later. It's crazy. The so-called very tall arborvitae trees that are planted
- that building has lights that shine all night inside my room. This is crazy. I just want to
say I object totally to this road. Whatever you can do to maybe put it somewhere else -
Mr. Harbes can have his business - I would just appreciate the road somewhere else.
It's right in front of my yard. It's terrible. Thank you very much.
Ms. Woodhouse: You're welcome.
Marie Domenici: I live in the community at Farm Veu. I do not live directly across from
the perennial business but I have concerns because of the truck traffic that does come
down there currently just for the fact that it's an alternative route. Someone mentioned
earlier- is there an opportunity for that Truck Route to not be a Truck Route any longer
because some of the residents and I have spoken and there is some kind of truck traffic
that starts to go through our community and ...(inaudible) to Farm Veu and then out on
the other side to Sound and, actually, we don't need truck traffic in that community at
best. If we're going to make it look like the city, you could start putting up No Thru Truck
Traffic signs and then maybe you could put speed bumps in the community and then,
you know, why did we move to this rural community, i'm not adverse to anyone making
a living; I just don't want it to be at my cost. When I originally inquired to see if indeed
there was an opportunity to put that road on the Sound Avenue side where most of all
that activity and traffic already takes place especially during the farm seasons, if there
was an opportunity and I was told somewhere that it goes through other peoples'
property and that may not - I have a map in front of me but I don't know if indeed that is
part of the Harbes' property or not - but, ideally, I think the people of the community
would be better served if indeed the truck traffic was brought in off the Sound Avenue
side where - I'm not saying there aren't residential houses there but I think the spacing
of it is a little different then currently the way it's spaced on Aldrich Lane.
I have some other concerns - even if, indeed, that road doesn't get moved, I'm
concerned about the amount of truck traffic in and out of the perennial business
location. Are we talking about once a day truck coming in in the morning and coming
back in the afternoon? Are we talking about multiple tractor-trailers coming in there
several times a day? It is farmland so farmland is dusty. Are we talking about having to
deal with dust and additional pesticides all being blown around and are families and our
pets and wildlife getting impacted by that? Again, I'm not saying that people shouldn't
make a living but it should not be at the cost of others. So, I am concerned about that
and I would like someone to directly be able to answer some of these questions and I
don't know if that's an opportunity for you guys to do that tonight because I think it
would certainly allay many peoples' fears so I'll ask directly - is there an opportunity to
move that from Aldrich Lane to the Sound Avenue side? Is anyone aware of that?
Chairperson Woodhouse: That would be something that we would have to look at but
you raised some other questions about the trucks and I think that, at some point, we
would like to hear from the applicant, if he or his agent would like to respond to that
issue about the volume of trucks, the hours that they would be using the driveway and
maybe the light issue that came up about the lights on the building all night.
Marie Domenici: Also, ideally, if we could move that over, I think that would satisfy a lot
of peoples' concerns but if, indeed, that is not something that can happen, then I would
ask about the aesthetics of how that driveway is going to look facing the community. I'm
asking this as a last resort question because, ideally, I would like to see that read
moved to the other side of Sound Avenue where there's less impact to the community
at large.
I am concerned about run-off in the event - I'm assuming that that read is not going to
be paved no matter where it's placed so how does that impact the run-off situation that
ultimately impacts the ground water and everything else that's environmentally
important. So, that is something that I think we need to look at.
Will there be an increase in the use of pesticides - I realize that we're surrounded by
farms and I realize that farmers do use pesticides and the question I would ask of any
farmer regardless - if they can use organic, when necessary, and opt for pesticides
when there's no other options because we all have well water there and, if anyone's
had their water tested lately, when you get your results back, you can't pronounce
what's in the water so I'm not sure you really want to drink the water. So, that's another
concern. So, any other questions that you guys could possibly answer that would be -
Ms. Woodhouse: We can tell you that the run-off would be addressed during the site
plan process. I can answer that question right now for you.
Marie Domenici: O.K.
Ms. Woodhouse: I've heard from several of you a concern about where the driveway is
located but there have been several different proposals, some of them on Aldrich, some
of them on Sound Avenue. A road needs to go somewhere.
Ms. Domenici: Absolutely but your greatest impact of the way it is set up right now is
you impact 47 homes there. In that community there are 47 homes. Don't
misunderstand me, this is not a nimbi thing, o.k.? When you live in farmland, you have
to try to co-exist because I understand the farmers are the backbone of our community
and certainly I support that but sometimes we have to look at being neighborly and
sometimes being neighborly might cost a little extra to kind of keep everybody friendly
and neighborly. That's the way we'd like to keep it.
]4
Chairperson Woodhouse: I'd like to hear from the applicant if there are - I assume that
they have discussed other alternative placements of the driveway and, if you'd like to
make some comments about that, at this point, Ms. Moore, that would be appreciated.
Patricia Moore, Esq.: Yes, for those that are here and don't know the history of our
driveway, the property that is subject to the site plan is actually a flag lot. The driveway
where it's proposed on the site plan and which had started to get cut, because of the
weather, is not completely cut through and is the location of the flag for this parcel. At
one point in time, Mr. Harbes was in a 40-year lease that has been forty years or so of
lease terms - annual lease terms and renewals. That's where the original driveway in
front of Mrs. Lamm's house - that's where the location was originally proposed. It was
actually a less expensive location for Mr. Harbes because it was a closer connection as
a driveway to the existing facility. However, Mrs. Lamm came and objected to that
location and the Board felt that, given that it's leased property, there was no guarantee
that that leased property would continue to be leased or in the control of Mr. Harbes -
this Board recommended that the location of the driveway be in a place where the
property is the same title and the same parcel as the building which is the subject of the
site plan. So, the ddveway is where it is proposed. It has a limited location because of
the width of the flag. The location of the driveway has actually been placed in the center
of the property line between the two property owners across Aldrich Lane so as to try to
mitigate the impact on any one-property owner. It does not impact Mr. Kull completely.
Yes, it will impact him and I'm sure he's not very happy with it and I know he's
expressed his concerns but the property - it does fall between the two property lines.
And that was the fairest location as well as the safest and the most reasonable location.
That is the location that is on the site plan. So, there are no other locations. This is the
only flag road frontage that this parcel enjoys.
With respect to the development of this property, I would remind everyone who has
spoken here tonight or is interested in this application, that this 39 acres could easily be
developed into 19 lots. This town, through the various steps we'd have to go through,
could subdivide this property. That is why we are trying to maintain a balance between
the farming community and the uses and the needs of the farming community to keep it
viable and the interests of the private neighbors. That's why this town has adopted the
Farmer's Bill of Rights. That's what the memorandum in your file refers to. It also
provides for agriculture assessments and Agriculture Market's Law and the benefits of
Ag. and Market's Law. There is a balance that both on the State level and the State
Constitution provides with the conflicts that occur any time that you do any development
on a property.
With respect to Mrs. Lamm's comments, for the record, the Board is already aware -
the subdivision, the original development of this property was various lots of different
configurations. In the early '90's, I believe it was, a lot line change was approved by the
Planning Board and the lot line changes did not require Health Department approval. At
that time, the Health Department, as well as the Planning Board, understood that lot
line changes were not considered subdivisions under the Article 6 Regulations. That is
why the lot line change did not get Health Department approval at that time. It did get
Planning Board approval but not Health Department. At this stage, today's date, the
Health Department has retro-actively reviewed its regulations from the time when Article
]5
6 was adopted and now looks back and says that lot line changes are considered
subdivisions and, therefore, do require submission. This, as well as many other
properties in the Town of Southold and Riverhead, lot line changes are going back
retro-actively and correcting the Health Department files so that they have a record that
correlates with the Tax Map. So, it's a paperwork clean-up. By no means was anybody
accused of being in violation of the law. That was the interpretation of Article 6 at the
time.
The fact that this is a New York State Truck Route is a very important point because it
means that this read was already designed to carry truckloads. It's a Town read and,
therefore, meets the Town read specifications as a major road. It meets State Truck
Route specifications. Of all places, this is the appropriate place for any truck traffic that
is generated by my client's property. The design of the read is appropriate for the truck
traffic.
I believe those were the several points that were - I'm sorry - hours of operation. I
asked Mr. Harbes - his hours of operation are presently 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. So, as
far as traffic generation, when his business is open, it generates traffic. When the
business is closed, no one is there.
With respect to run-off, drainage issues, the site plan has addressed drainage issues.
There is no run-off off the premises and the property, again, is 39 acres in size and we
have provided for on-site drainage as to the building. There are no pesticides, per se.
These are in-door container plants. Inside the building there are hoop houses. Again,
everything is pretty much occurring in greenhouses-contained environment. Are there
any exterior -
Mr. Harbes: There are some.
Ms. Moore: There are some which are normal and customary for agricultural
operations.
The lights actually shut off automatically at 8:00 p.m. Could it be a little eadier - we
would have no problem with dusk to dawn.
Ms. Woodhouse: So, you will make that happen with the lights? You'll check into that?
Ms. Moore: Sure. That's not a problem.
I believe that's it. Those are the points that I believe were addressed.
Ms. Woodhouse: How many truck deliveries in those hours, daily, would you expect?
That is, every day during those hours.
peter Harbes: Right now, due to the construction phase, there is a heavier load of traffic
than normal business hours. We usually deliver with three vehicles so it would be three
trucks per day in the busiest part of the season.
]6
Ms. Woodhouse: These are your trucks that you are delivering with - is that what you're
saying?
Mr. Harbes: That is correct.
Ms. Woodhouse: Is there any additional traffic for receiving supplies or getting
equipment. How could you calculate for us what that would be?
Mr. Harbes: Receiving of raw goods, yes, that happens on a weekly basis.
Ms. Woodhouse: Twice, three times, once?
Mr. Harbes: At least twice a week.
Ms. Woodhouse: Twice a week, o.k. And, again, between the hours of 7:00 and 6:00?
Mr. Harbes: Hopefully even shorter than that, yes.
Ms. Woodhouse: O.K. Thank you.
Bruno Semon, Sr. Site Plan Reviewer: Madame Chairman?
Ms. Woodhouse: Yes.
Mr. Semon: Just the one question that wasn't answered is about that existing driveway
and what's going to happen. Maybe either Pat or-
Patricia Moore, Esq.: I'm sorry, you're right. The existing driveway that's across from
Ms. Lamm's home, that is actually being terminated or abandoned. Right now - again,
weather related - by now it would have been replaced with the other read but because
of the weather conditions, I think everyone with common sense knows that it's a little
difficult to cut a read in right now due to the weather. So, when this - I would say within
the next four months, two months - I'm thinking when the crushed stone and everything
is put on.
Mr. Harbes: Hopefully by May 1st.
Ms. Moore: O.K. By around May 1st the access road will be where it is preliminarily cut
there at the property north of the existing read. The fact that there is a mailbox there
has no relation to the entrance that is on Aldrich Lane. It's where the existing driveway
was at one time. It may stay there; it may not. Probably moved.
Ms. Woodhouse: You're going to move that, o.k. So, for Ms. Lamm's concerns, that
driveway will cease to be used once the new driveway goes in; the mailbox will be
moved to the other end. What is going in is not a read per se, it is what is used as a
driveway for the private use of this agricultural operation.
Ms. Moore: Correct.
]7
Ms. Woodhouse: So, it's not a thru read?
Ms. Moore: No.
Ms. Woodhouse: O.K. Thank you for clarifying that.
Ms. Moore: Thank you.
Ms. Woodhouse: Yes, madame?
Marie Domenici: If the road stays where it is, is it going to be paved or is that just going
to have some blue stone thrown down - because you know what that's going to be like
in the dry, hot summertime. We're just going to be eating dust and I understand,
agriculturally when you have to farm the land and you have to turn it over, and I
understand that but, with the kind of truck traffic that you're having, how is that going to
impact us - we're going to be eating dust every.
The other question that I have - I have this map here. Could you -
Patricia Moore, Esq.: Oh, sure.
Marie Domenici: This is Sound Avenue here and this is ideally what we were kind of
asking if this were feasible to bring that entryway there.
Ms. Moore: What she's asking is alternate sites which I've already put on the record.
The difficulty with alternate sites is that those parcels could be independently sold. The
parcel that has the building is Lot 11.12. The access is a flag that goes to Aldrich. Do
you see this flag here?
Ms. Domenici: Yes.
Ms. Moore: That piece will stand alone and can operate on its own. Any other parcel,
which was the objection previously with the original location of the road, is that any one
of the other parcels could be independently sold and now we have a driveway that's off
premises and that was not something that the Planning Board wished to entertain.
Ms. Domenici: But is this all property owned by Harbes here?
Ms. Moore: No, various different owners.
Ms. Domenici: Is this a paved option or not?
Ms. Moore: The driveway is crushed stone, isn't it?
Mr. Harbes: Re-cycled concrete for the preliminary phases.
Ms. Domenici: What kind of buffer are you going to see here? For the people who may
be facing this, are we going to have Hampton-type hedges to kind of hide some of this
stuff or what actually happens in that area?
Ms. Moore: There are Hampton hedges up on Lot 124-1-2.1 -it has high arborvitae
and that piece is actually in landscaping material. That's the neighbor's property. Our
parcel is on the inside because it's a flag. Our building is on the inside of those parcels.
The property line is 500 feet from Aldrich Lane. I think in my description I said that our
building is at least approximately 600 feet from Aldrich Lane. Lot 12 is in agricultural
production. We don't want to impact the ability to have the row crops and to the extent
that you start landscaping away, again, a parcel that is leased right now. It's not even
our ownership. We're going to create an issue if that piece sells to some independent
person if the landscaping is gone or potentially could be gone. At the top of the berm,
we have arborvitae. That is actually on the Harbes' property and to the east of the
building. So, the building has been screened from view from Aldrich Lane.
Ms. Domenici: What about this entryway? If, indeed, this is where this is going to be
located, to be neighbor friendly, what are we doing there?
Ms. Moore: There has been some discussion about making a nice entrance for the
business. The plan is to make some improvements to the entrance. At this point, we're
still cutting through the read. Whatever is left after the curb cut because, again, the
driveway with the radius that has been designed by the surveyor in order to
accommodate the concerns of the neighbors with regard to a turning radius of trucks
and so on, eats into the width of that read frontage quite a bit. So, we may have some
reom on either side of the curb that we can plant some shrubbery but, until that read
and the curbing is done, it's hard to think about how you are going to landscape it
behind it. It's his business. It's an entranceway to his business and the plan is to make it
look nice but the exact dimensions of it are a little hard to identify at this time. What you
were concerned with and what the neighbors were concerned with was making sure
that we had an adequate radius for vehicular traffic and that's what we've concentrated
on,
Ms. Domenici: Thank you. One last question - originally, that was made a Truck Route
- and this is my understanding - that it was made a Truck Route because the Long
Island Rail Road pass overhead, at the time, could not facilitate large trucks. It is my
understanding that that has been fixed. You can confirm or deny that and if, indeed, it
has been fixed, then can we deem that what's currently a Truck Route no longer a
Truck Route? Because we do get a lot of truck traffic down there in spite of what we're
talking about going forward.
Chairperson Woodhouse: That's not within our jurisdiction right now and it's certainly
not part of this application that we have anything that we can do with it. It certainly
would bear looking into with the Department of Transportation.
Ms. Moore: The Highway Superintendent might consider it but I know that the concern
has been on re-directing the traffic off of the Main Road and using Sound Avenue to the
extent possible so the reality of moving some of the truck traffic off of Main Road is -
Ms. Woodhouse: It is a dilemma. If you don't want it on Sound Avenue or the Main
Road, you need to put it on the side roads. If you don't want it on the side roads, it goes
back. It is a continuing problem within the town but, again, that's not part of this hearing
here. I think we have struggled for quite a long time to figure out where to put a read or
an access to this property. There needs to be an access somewhere. We did look at
putting it on Sound Avenue and it was just not feasible because of the ownership
issues. I think we've resolved some of the issues. At least I hope we have from what
we've heard tonight. Those lights will not be going on all night; they will be on from
morning to early evening or dusk. The driveway that was currently a problem that came
to our attention will not be used any longer. The mailbox will be moved. With that
turning radius that we're requiring, there should be no need for trucks to back up on to
anybody else's property.
Patrick Hyland: I live directly across from the proposed driveway, in between the
properties. It was stated earlier that there is no run-off problem there. I can tell you that
there is a run-off problem there. Two years ago - and the Board may not be aware of
this - I had three feet of water in my basement. There is run-off in any heavy down fall
of rain off of Harbes' Farm that crosses Aldrich just north of my property, just north of
the intersection of Harbes and Aldrich. That run-off crosses the read, fills the catch
basin which is directly north of my home, that catch basin fills and then over flows
across Harvest and then directly down my driveway. Two years ago, the Southold Town
Police Department had to respond, as well as Cutchogue and Southold Fire
Departments, to pump out my basement. I had three feet of water down there. I talked
to the Town about it. They said there was nothing they could do about it. I talked to my
insurance company. I was out thousands of dollars worth of stuff that was in my
basement that I had to just throw into a roll off, not to mention all of my personal items,
my children's items, things that I just could never replace. All right? That's something I
just took on the chin at that time. Water is an issue and I just want the Board to be
aware of that. The run-off is an issue. With this new driveway, I don't know what that's
going to bring. The problem is, once the ground freezes, there's no place for the water
to go and it does cross over Aldrich, into that catch basin, and then across on to my
property. If the Board would like, I can actually submit photos. I don't have them with
me this evening but I can submit photos of where that water is going because I did take
pictures at the time. Every winter it is a major concern of mine with the snowfall and the
amount of water that comes off of that farm. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Mr. Semon, do you have any information in your file about
that?
Bruno Semon: No, the only thing that would be required is that, at some point in time
before we can go to final approval, they would be required to have the SPDES Permit
enforced and in place by the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation which would control run-off before, during and after this construction.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you.
2O
Marie Domenici: My very last question, I promise, and then we can all go home - there
will be no storage of any pesticides because often times when things are stored where
there's no cement or something to hold it, it kind of runs off into the ground water and
once again we're facing something that is not palatable environmentally.
Mr. Harbes: ...(inaudible).
Ms. Woodhouse: For the record, what Mr. Harbes is saying is there are some pesticides
that are stored on this property and they are stored in the proper containers and I
believe that pesticide use is regulated so it would fall within the guidelines of the
regulatory agency. Would you like to speak to that further, Mr. Harbes?
Peter Harbes: Yes, I just wanted to clarify the issue with the run-off on Aldrich Lane.
That is from a separate parcel. It's not on this parcel, the water that he is referring to.
That's the one to the north so it really shouldn't have any bearing on the decision
process on this particular pamel.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you. I think we need to move on. Is there anyone else who
would like to say something that we haven't heard? Yes, Madame?
N¥1a Lamm: I would just like to comment regarding the traffic. In the current usage,
there are approximately 25-30 commercial vehicles entering a day. If you look at that
across an eight-hour day just looking at entering, 8 into 24, every twenty minutes you
have vehicles - that's the mean average. It's true business operations may be from
7:00 until 5:00 or 6:00, however, two weeks ago at 4:00 in the morning, I was awakened
- the rumbling of my bed woke me up and I looked out the window to see what it was
and it was a very large tractor-trailer pulling into the driveway at 4:00 a.m. I don't think
anybody was working. I don't know but 4:00 a.m. So, issues about times of operation
and the number of vehicles with traffic - additionally, I don't know how many people are
back there that remain back there but there's a coffee truck that goes there every day
between 9 and 9:30. There are a number of individuals that are there; there is
continuous usage of it - heavy traffic. I'm not talking about traffic on Aldrich Lane; I'm
talking about the traffic that enters and exits the property. To take someone's word and
to say that there's going to be less traffic when you have a wholesale business that's
going to function for profit, to me, it doesn't make sense that you're only going to have
three trucks a day. To me, that doesn't make sense. I don't know. I try to figure out
running a business and I would expect that there would be equally as much traffic, if not
more. If I were running a business, I would hope I would get a lot of traffic to do my
business.
I just have a question for clarification - sorry to push this issue. I just want to be sure I
walk away and I understand the statement that was made that the driveway in front of
my house will not be used. However, a comment which was stated again - and, again,
maybe I'm not hearing you correctly - is that the driveway will be used for personal use.
Which driveway, is my question, will be used for personal use?
Ms. Woodhouse: You're asking me? I'd have to ask - I didn't hear anything that a
driveway was going to be used for personal use. I heard the statement that the
driveway that is currently being used for access to the building, which is across from
your home, will not be used for access to the building in the back. None of this
commercial traffic will be going down the driveway in front of your house.
Ms. Lamm: Nor personal vehicles.
Ms. Woodhouse: I think that property is not owned by Mr. Harbes so, whether someone
uses that driveway personally or not, I can't answer that question and that's not the
subject of this hearing tonight. This is the hearing to determine the access to the
property, which is the new access - not the old one.
Ms. Lamm: Thank you.
Ms. Woodhouse: Are there any other questions or comments? Hearing none, I'll
entertain a motion to close the hearing.
Mr. Edwards: So move.
Mr. Sidor: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor?.
Ayes: Ms. Woodhouse, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor, Mr. Solomon
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? The motion carries. (The public hearing was
closed at 7:20 p.m.)
The lighting will be subject of an inspection by our office here and, if there is a problem
with the lights not being turned off at the proper time, we will notify the owner of the
property.
Bruno Semon: I don't believe we can deal with specific times on that but we do have the
Town Code that regulates how the light is and how it's actually projected from the
property so I don't believe that the time is something that we can deal with. It has to
meet our current Code and that's what it would have to do.
Ms. Woodhouse: It has to be shielded and you'll hear that as we read this resolution.

SCTM#1000-35-8-5.21
Is there someone to speak on behalf of the application?
Jennifer Gould, Esq.: I'm here tonight representing Summit Estates. If the Board has
any questions or anyone in the audience does, I'm happy to answer them.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to speak on this
application? Please step forward.
Robert Inqram: I live in Summit Estates. I have no preblem with what they want to do if
the Planning Board wants to go along with that. He filled in a pond. They wanted the
swale. The problem is it sounds like the Town is holding us, the homeowners, hostage
because they won't take over the read until he goes along and puts this swale in and
that means we're not getting any snow removal. That's a big issue right now. We're not
getting any snow removal. We have people that live back there who are handicapped. I
spoke to the Town Engineer; he says the Highway Superintendent has been notified - if
there is a preblem back there, we'll mobilize snow equipment to get an ambulance or
fire equipment in there. By that time, the house could be down. Someone could get
hurt. This is something that needs to be addressed concerning this Covenants and
Restrictions' change.
Ms. Woodhouse: Ms. Scopaz?
Valerie Scopaz, Planninq Director: What I'd just like to say to you is that the matter
before the Planning Board tonight is the issue of substituting the swale for the pond that
was there. The question of the dedication of the road is a Town Board decision, not a
29
Planning Board decision. My understanding is that, in order for the Town Board to
accept the dedication of the read, they need the recommendation from the Highway
Superintendent saying that he will agree to that. I don't know how else we can handle
this. I understand there's been some conversation between -
Mr. In,qram: This has been going on -
Ms. Scopaz: I understand that - just let me finish. I understand there's been a
conversation between the Highway Superintendent and Town Council with regard to
this matter and I would just suggest that perhaps tomorrow you could follow up with the
Highway Superintendent about it because my understanding is that ,since the
developer has agreed to a bond for the work and if the Board agrees to these amended
Covenants and Restrictions on the property and that's filed, that the objection to the
dedication may be removed. This would be a step in the direction of a dedication. I
don't know if I've made myself clear but -
Mr. In.qram: I understand what you're saying but this has been going on for a couple of
years.
Ms. Scopaz: We understand this.
Ms. Woodhouse: We have been trying to resolve it.
Mr. In.qram: I don't know if you've had any dealings with this guy before but, like I say,
the homeowners are being held hostage here. We've had mail that wasn't able to get
down there and, again, like I say - way down in the middle of the subdivision, we have a
family there who has a handicapped person and, this past summer, two or three times
needed assistance. If it had happened during one of these snowfalls, who knows what
would have gone on.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Let me assure you that we are doing everything we can to
resolve it. I think there's a new attorney who is working to resolve it and that's what we
are hoping to do. You might have something else to add, Ms. Gould?
Jennifer Gould, Esq.: I can't personally attest but I was told that the roads were plowed
three times during our last snowstorm which is probably more than the Town would
have done in a similar situation.
Mr. In.qram: Not true.
Ms. Gould: I'm just saying that this is what I was told. We are doing everything we can
to move the road dedication along. The swale, because of the weather, cannot be done
right now but, prior to all this freeze, we did call an engineer in - Joe Fischetti - he has
certified to the Planning Board that the swale is as it was designed by Land Use
Planning. He submitted that certification. We also did test holes to satisfy Mr. Richter,
the Town Engineer, that the quality of the soil is such that we could only dig a certain
amount and that the swale would, in fact, work and those certifications have been done.
So, I hope with the kind of due diligence that Summit Estates has put into this, that we
3O
do not have to wait until May for the roads to be dedicated and that we could move this
along now.
Ms. Woodhouse: I think we're all on the same page trying to move this quickly.
Mr. In,qram: Were you saying that Gusmar is going to put the swale in? Because at the
last meeting - we had an impromptu meeting with Fakaris and he doesn't want to put
the swale in. This was two weeks ago.
Ms. Gould: I don't know if you read the Covenant and Restriction. I would be happy to
show it to you after the meeting or during but it's a condition. There's a pond violation
and we are trying and have been trying for seven months to correct the violation and
we've finally come to an agreement on language. We've drafted it eight or nine times.
We had a long meeting in the Town Attorney's Office in December and we all came to
an agreement on what we wanted language wise and I think we're all in agreement on
the swale.
Ms. Woodhouse: Mr. Sidor, when he reads the resolution, it will be part of the public
record.
Mr. In,qram: What was he suggesting my next person to talk to - I've already talked to
Jamie Richter, the Town Engineer, and you mentioned to talk to the Highway
Superintendent now?
Valerie Scopaz: Yes, my understanding - I spoke with him today - he was comfortable
with possibly recommending to the Town Board that there be a dedication provided the
Planning Board move tonight on this. All I'm saying to you is that's my understanding.
That's what he said to me today. You don't have to believe me. You can call him up
tomorrow and say look, Pete, I hear that... Just so you understand the process - the
Planning Board may create a read but only the Town Board can accept the dedication
of it. We can recommend whatever we want but the Town Board will only accept the
recommendation of the Highway Superintendent and the Town Engineer because what
they're doing is certifying that the roads are constructed according to standard.
Mr. In.qram: Right, I understand that.
Ms. Scopaz: So, that's the key thing there. They understand that the letter needs to be
written. I know legal counsel has been made aware of the matter.
Ms. Woodhouse: We're going to have our legal counsel address this issue. Kieran?
Kieran Corcoran, Esq., Asst. Town Attorney: Sure. I don't have a lot more to add other
than what Valerie has said and what Ms. Gould has said. It is true that it is in the hands
of the Highway Superintendent and the Town Engineer to accept the roads, to
recommend acceptance of the roads, to the Town Board. It's normally the case when
they do recommend that the Town Board does accept them. I have spoken as recently
as this afternoon - this evening - with the Highway Superintendent. I think everything is
in line to move forward. It was important to him that these Covenants and Restrictions
3]
be worked out and accepted by the Planning Board. It appears that that is going to
happen. I don't think there's any further hold up with the acceptance of the roads from
this point forward. I think everybody's view is that it should happen soon but it couldn't
hurt to give a call if you want some further assurance. It is ultimately his decision to
make that recommendation.
Mr. In.qram: O.K. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Would someone else like to address the Board on this
matter?.
Ralph Grandinetti, 445 Osprey Nest Road, E. Marion: Good evening. I'm one of the
Directors of the Homeowner's Association on Maple Lane. We are directly to the west
of Summit Estates. Our concern this evening, among some of the others, would be
flooding. Flooding is a problem. I have a copy of an article that was in the Suffolk Times
regarding the builder who was in violation of your order to not touch the pond and he
did so in his own regard. Now, it's changed to a swale. I looked up the definition of a
swale which is a depression in a marshy area. Prior to this, we had a pond. Now, what
has happened is the lay of the land is such that the water really cascades down across
Summit Estates Property Lots 13 and 14 and is flooding on the homeowner McEIroy. In
addition, it then goes on to Maple Lane. We have had the road actually closed and
impassible. We're a community of one hundred families, a lot of which are elderly
people. We have concerns about access to them in the event of an emergency.
Again, getting back to definition - if a swale is a depression, how is that going to handle
the water that comes from the Summit property when previously it had been a pond?
Valerie Scopaz, Plannin.q Director: The Town Engineer reviewed the specifications and
I believe they also asked for test borings to insure that, after the swale was created, that
it would be able to handle the volume of water that is coming off the road and the land
right now. So, the Town Engineer wanted to make sure that the swale will be able to
handle the same volume of water that the pond had been handling which is what you're
saying. If that system fails, I'm sure the Town will be back to address it but the Town
Engineer is very conservative. He really is a very conservative guy. I seriously doubt
that he would recommend accepting the swale unless he felt 100% sure that it would
handle the run-off.
Mr. Grandinetti: Just for clarification, are you saying that the Town will be responsible in
the event the swale over flows and floods the road?
Ms. Scopaz: That's a good legal question.
Mr. Edwards, Board Member: The attorney just left.
Ms. Scopaz: I'm assuming yes but I really can't speak to that.
Bruno Semon, Sr. Site Plan Reviewer: Unfortunately, some of that water is collected at
a bunch of different places and it deposits on Maple. There's a huge contour that feeds
down to it. Summit Estates is only one little factor included in the water that is going
down to Maple Lane and I'm sure that that gentleman will contest to it. Certainly, the
pond picked up the water coming out of this area but it doesn't pick up the water that is
coming from the Main Road heading down to the southern portion.
Mr. Grandinetti: As stated, there is a hill to the south and there is to the north but we
haven't had this problem since Summit has begun to re-arrange the topography. Maybe
it's a little problem but it's a big problem for us and we really are in a bind as to how to
do this. We're professional people in some cases but we're not hydrologists. We did
consult a civil engineer who said a swale is not going to do it, that the amount of water
that would be contained in the pond is far greater than the swale. That's my concern. If
we could agree - but, if there's a flooding, where do we turn?
Ms. Scopaz: Is Maple Lane private or public?
Mr. Grandinetti: It's a private community - Cleave's Point Property Owners Association.
Ms. Scopaz: Right. If there's run-off coming on to your road from the State Road, then
we can certainly talk with the State about dealing with that part of the run-off. Legally,
the Planning Board can only require that Summit Estates deal with the run-off
generated from their site on their site. We can't force them to deal with run-off that's
coming from another place on to your property so there may be two issues here. Maybe
what we need to do is go and talk with the State Department of Transportation and see
if perhaps there is any run-off coming off of their road that's impacting on yours. We
can certainly look into that.
Mr. Grandinetti: All right. Just for definition sake - a swale would be considerably less in
volume than the pond. What I didn't understand from this article was why the Town in
essence acquiesced to not digging the pond back to its original state but rather this
lesser version.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I don't think we acquiesced. We have been trying for a long
time to get this pond dug up again to no avail. This property owner has been in violation
of that and this is our best attempt to rectify the situation after the fact. So, I think there
was never any acquisition on the part of the Town. It's been something that we have
actively been fighting and for some of the same reasons that this gentleman mentioned.
It was important to us to get the roads dedicated to make this property habitable to the
people who are there and we have dealt with a number of attorneys on behalf of
Summit Estates. Hopefully, with this attorney who is before us now, we're going to
resolve it and move forward.
Mr. Grandinetti: I don't mean to be presumptuous.
Ms. Woodhouse: That's o.k.
Mr. Grandinetti: There are a lot of things that I don't know.
Ms. Woodhouse: Sure.
33
Mr. Grandinetti: For example, if the ultimate goal for Summit Estates is to sell homes,
and in order to sell a home, it would have to have a Certificate of Occupancy. How is it
they are able to sell and these violations still stand - these concerns? He was told, as in
this article, don't fill in that pond and he did it anyway. I don't see why he cannot be told
to re-create it. Am I jumping all over?. I don't mean to.
Ms. Woodhouse: This pre-dates a little bit my tenure here so I am looking for some
guidance.
Mr. Grandinetti: I just think that you have the ultimate weapon and that is the Certificate
of Occupancy. He can't sell without that.
Ms. Woodhouse: But we don't give the Certificate of Occupancy.
Mr. Grandinetti: No, but it's, you know-
Ms. Woodhouse: It's not a Planning Department - that's the Building Department. We
can only operate within our own sphere of influence. In this particular case, this is the
area that we can deal with tonight - to approve the Covenants and Restrictions so that
the road, hopefully, can get dedicated so that it can be plowed and maintained. That's
what's on the table for us to make a decision upon. I think that through the department
we can work with New York State to look at other potential read run-off that's affecting
your area and we will look into that.
Mr. Grandinetti: Are you people satisfied with the dimensions of the swale?
Ms. Woodhouse: We are satisfied with the dimensions of the swale. It has been tested
and we have accepted the report. I think it's been very thoroughly looked at. I just want
to add that one of the reasons that we did go with the swale was the numerous
objections from homeowners in your area who are concerned about stagnant water and
mosquitoes in the pond as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. We've received
numerous letters and testimonies from other homeowners on that issue, begging us to
not put the pond back in. Ms. Gould?
Jennifer Gould1 Esq.: I think one other issue besides the mosquitoes was also that the
pond was also such a steep grade going down. It was extremely dangerous. For years
this area hadn't been occupied and now you have a whole new subdivision. It was just
way too deep. It originally started as an irrigation ditch. A farmer dug it; it wasn't a
natural pond. It was a place where water was originally - I think Sepenoski farmed the
property and it was originally an irrigation ditch and then became an irrigation pond and
then a drainage pond over the years. It wasn't actually a true pond.
Mr. Grandinetti: I can understand everything you're saying. My concern is whether you
call it a pond, a re-charge basin or a sump, it's a means for gathering surface water and
replacing it back in the ground. If it is steeper than what might be desired, you put a
fence around it; you put trees around it. Throughout Nassau County, where I'm from,
34
that's the way it is handled. To say that it's deep and it's a concern, there are ways to
address those concerns.
Ms. Woodhouse: I hear what your concern is - will this swale be as efficient as a pond
in taking care of some of the run-off and, according to the engineers, they believe that
this will.
Anthony Trezza, Sr. Planner: The Engineer's Report says that the percolation area is
exactly the same as it is for the pond.
Ms. Woodhouse: They are the professionals. We'll all hope that this is -
Mr. Grandinetti: I approve of cross your fingers because I really don't know either. I'm
concerned.
Ms. Woodhouse: That's not my area of expertise and I doubt that it's any of my
colleagues.
Valerie Scopaz: I just have one request - if we do contact the Department of
Transportation and are able to get them to send someone out to talk about the run-off
issue, you said that you were the head of the civic group -
Mr. Grandinetti: I'm the Vice-President of the Association.
Ms. Scopaz: Can you give us a phone number where we can contact you -
Mr. Grandinetti: I'll sign this and leave it here.
Ms. Scopaz: Great.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. I believe there's someone else who wants to
speak on this issue. Yes, Sir?.
William Danisi: I'm Lot #12 which is pretty close to where we're talking about this pond. I
wrote one of the letters that you are talking about also. I have ten grandchildren who
are always outside playing and I was very concerned about the pond and I was happy
to see that we were going to do something else. I'm not saying that he did the right thing
by closing it - he certainly didn't. I'm even concerned about the swale. How deep is a
swale? How big is a swale? My children are my concern and I'm concerned about I
didn't know what the swale was. I don't think that the drainage from Summit Estates is
really a factor to these people because we're only talking about two lots here. The
whole development is built with drainage in the streets and curbs. It's not this whole
development draining into this pond. This pond always had water in it whether it reined
or it didn't rain so it wasn't there for the purpose of catching rain water. It was filled all
the time whether it rained or it didn't rain. It didn't go dry when it didn't have any rain so I
don't think that the emptying or filling of this pond has anything to do with the drainage
factor or his drainage problems. It seems like there's more than just this problem with
those two lots. I think it's Lots 14 and 15 is where this pond was, in the back of these
35
lots. Everything else has it's own drainage. My property doesn't drain into that pond -
never did. I'm really concerned about the swale. Is it another deep pond?
Chairperson Woodhouse: It's 2 feet.
Mr. Danisi: 2 feet deep, o.k.
Mr. Semon: It's on Lots13 and 14.
Mr. Danisi: 13 and 14 - all right, so it's adjacent to mine.
Mr. Trezza: This shows you exactly the swale area. The percolation area is 3,660
square feet. It's equal to exactly what was there in the pond beforehand. It's going to be
20 feet wide and 2 feet deep.
Mr. Danisi: All right. I can see this as being a solution to everybody's problem - the
pond problem, the mosquito problem and getting these roads -
Ms. Woodhouse: Good. We hope it is.
Mr. Danisi: O.K. Thank you.
Ms. Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to speak on behalf of this
application? Hearing no one, we'll entertain a motion to close the hearing.
Mr. Edwards: So move.
Mr. Solomon: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor?.
Ayes: Ms. VVoodhouse, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor, Mr. Solomon
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? The motion is carried. (The public hearing was
closed at 7:50 p.m.)
Mr. Sidor:
WHEREAS, in November of 2000, the applicant had filled in the drainage pond located on
Lots 14 and 15, re-numbered as Lots 13 and 14 on a certain map entitled "Map of Summit
Estates, Section 2, East Marion"; and
WHEREAS, the action was in direct violation of Section 9 of the Declaration of Protective
Covenants and Restrictions, recorded at Liber 11506, Page 123 on July 23, 1992; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has reviewed the proposed plan to mitigate the filling of the
pond, has considered the safety concerns of the community and ruled that the vegetated
drainage swale, as proposed in the July 19, 2004 Plan View, will require the amendment of
36
the Covenants and Restrictions recorded with the Suffolk County Clerk on July 23, 1992
(Liber 11506, Page 123); be it therefore
RESOLVED, that the Southold Town Planning Board adopt the proposed amendment,
dated February 11, 2005, to the Covenants and Restrictions previously recorded with
the Suffolk County Clerk on July 23, 1992 (Liber 11506, Page 123).
Mr. Edwards: Second the motion.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor?.
Ayes: Ms. Woodhouse, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor, Mr. Solomon
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? Hearing none, this motion carries. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: 6:25 p.m. - Albertson Marine, Inc. - This site plan is for a
12,000 sq. ft. new building with 6,500 sq. ft. of warehouse space, 500 sq. ft. of
bathroom space and 5,000 sq. ft. of retail space on a 1.089 acre parcel in the Mil Zone
located at 61205 State Route 25, on the n/s/o State Route 25, approximately 1,717' e/o
Laurel Avenue, in Southold. SCTM#1000-56-3-13.4
I believe there is someone here to speak on behalf of this applicant.
Tom McCarthy, McCarthy Management: Looks like we're at the end of our process. I
want to thank the Board and Staff for all the hard work that's gone into this. We've been
in front of the Zoning Board and every other municipal entity, I think, in order to get here
tonight. We're happy to be here. The Witske Family, Bill, Rich and Charlie, are also
here who are the owners of the property as well as some of their employees. They're
good local people and I guess we're here to answer any questions that you might have
but we look forward to moving the application forward this evening.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you.
Mr. McCarthy: Thank you.
Ms. Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to speak on this application?
Hearing none, are there any questions from the Board? Yes, Sir?
Paul Deliteris, 455 Summer Lane, Southold: I'd like to speak on behalf of Bill and
Albertson Marine that you would go ahead and grant this immediately. In their situation
now, they have employees who are being moved from one building to another. There
seems to be a problem there whether they're going to be able to stay. The permit needs
to be dealt with very quickly in order for Bill to get his building built and be able to move
one business to another. This is not just a matter of can it be done. This is a matter of
people's jobs. Bill is also, as you know, a Fire Chief and is on the ambulance
emergency crew and he does a lot for the Town so I think that with how he serves the
37
Town, the Town should serve him and that maybe he shouldn't even come to get the
permit. Maybe you should deliver the permit to .him being that he delivers so much other
time to the people of Southold Town. He's been doing this for two years. That's not
funny. It's very difficult. He may lose the building that he's in so you need to move
tomorrow, not yesterday - now.
Ms. Woodhouse: Thank you.
Mr. Deliteris: You're welcome.
Ms. Woodhouse: We're not going to hand deliver it because we would get into a lot of
trouble if we acted that way but I appreciate your sentiments. Is there anyone else who
would like to speak? O.K. Hearing no other questions or comments, I would ask that we
entertain a motion to close the hearing.
Mr. Edwards: So move.
Mr. Sidor: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor?.
Ayes: Ms. Woodhouse, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor, Mr. Solomon
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? The motion is carried. The hearing is closed. (The
public hearing was closed at 7:55 p.m.)

Hearings Held Over From Previous Meetings:
Chairperson Woodhouse: Gatz Landscapin.q, Inc. - This site plan is for the new
construction of an 11,700 sq. ft. building for agricultural use on a 5-acre parcel in the
40
A-C Zone located approximately 464' n/o Sound Avenue on a private right-of-way in
Mattituck. SCTM#1000-121-1-4.6
Is there someone here to speak on behalf of the applicant?
Peter Danowski, Esq. on behalf of Gatz Landscapin,q: Walter and Marilyn and Donald
Gatz are in attendance. If you recall, subsequent to the last hearing, Planning Staff had
an opportunity to communicate with myself to make certain suggestions, asking us to
make certain alterations to the plan. We met on site with several staff members and
agreed to the conditions that were outlined. That included moving the building 10 feet
further away from the property line and providing specific landscaping plantings which
were specified as to type and native species. That plan was submitted in time for your
Work Session and was submitted for the record at that time. I also, at that time,
submitted some photographs which indicated sizes of barns starting from one on Eve's
(sp.?) Farm in the Town of Riverhead, heading east through areas in the Town of
Southold including the winery operation close to our site. It had always been my
position that the Town of $outhold, over the years, had adopted a policy many times
granting building permits on agricultural buildings without the need to go through site
plan review and I question why the Gatz project had to go through site plan. I don't
disagree with the legislation and the reading of it, however, the policy and the history in
the Town, I think, was to be commended in that if you favor agriculture, you can set up
some standards and, if the standards were met in a submission to the Building
Department, they could be, as a farmer, exempt from site plan review and I would
suggest that any future legislation consider that. You can certainly put 'criteria on
parking and type of material for parking - maybe not asphalt but recycled concrete or
whatever. But establish some very set standards that if you complied ,with on a site plan
submission to the Building Department, the permit could be issued. And that would be
farmer friendly. We're not talking about farm stands where you might want more detail
but the pure agricultural use should be exempt from site plan review.
Having said all that, my goal tonight was to have the hearing closed and receive a
resolution of approval. However, I was aware of the fact that the Onufraks had
submitted certain written matedal to the Board over a period of time and, even though I
may not share in the conclusion of their legal position - or I should say Mr. Lark's legal
position - attorneys can reasonably differ over interpretation of the law. It's always been
my goal when neighbors are involved that, if I can get two people to agree - or maybe
four people to agree or five - that, even at the last second before a Planning Public
Hearing, that would be something that is a goal to be sought. I did broach Mr. Lark
tonight and suggested to him that, if it did not slow down the process and if we could
conclude the public hearing tonight subject to the Planning Board saying that they
appreciated and favored the suggested modification to the site plan that I will soon
announce, that I would make the verbal presentation regarding a modified plan, have
Mr. Lark hear those words and his clients hear those words, have Mr. Lark and his
clients acknowledge their consent and withdrawal of any objection to this proposal and
then I would merely ask for you to perhaps meet with Counsel in Executive Session to
discuss the propriety of moving forward. But I'd like to close the hearing tonight and
have an approved site plan and I'd be willing to submit that modified plan within a
4]
week's time so you could see it and review it at your next Work Session. And I would
certainly provide a copy of that plan to Mr. Lark.
The suggestion, after that long-winded presentation, is that we are willing to take the
building locations and move them to a distance, a linear distance, on the plan 170 feet
from the Onufrak property line. We are currently at 30 on the modified plan, 20 on the
original plan. That would be 140 feet greater in distance. We'd also be suggesting that,
as part of that modified plan, only if the Planning Board wished this concession, that we
would do a planting along the property line of the Onufraks. And we're suggesting - and
I think they've agreed - there would be no need to buffer the immediate side of the
building but they would like a buffered planting on the property line. It apparently will be
necessary to remove some plantings that currently exist of native species in the area
where the future building will be located. We'd re-locate those plantings and also assure
that they would live - I think in Planning, Staff was talking about some form of
guarantee for a period of two years - and we would do that. So, there would always be
a buffer line of plantings, native species that remain on the site today and we'd have
this 170-foot distance. Also, I thought it beneficial - and I think the Onufraks have
agreed to this comment - that we would flip the buildings. In other words, the larger part
of the structure would be the farthest away from them and the narrower part of the
building would be closest to them. I verbalize that rather than just trying to draw
something as an attorney here before you tonight.
It was very important to us that we conclude the procedure and close the hearing and
yet have both Counsel with their clients acknowledge that everyone would agree to this
plan. And I'm not presumptuous enough to say that the Planning Board likes the idea of
pulling the building out farther but I state that, that we're willing to do that and the
Onufraks would desire that. So, with that stated, unless I forgot something that Mr. Lark
might remember, we're willing to move forward with that comment and that plan and ask
you to close the hearing tonight and, only if you need the advice of Counsel about the
ability to close the hearing and receive a re-submitted plan, I have nothing further to
say.
Richard Lark, Esq., Main Road, Cutcho.que, NY, for the applicant: While you were
having the other hearings here, this was proposed by the applicant. Basically, the
southerly end of the building would be no closer than 170 feet which puts it about in
here. This is not to scale but we scaled it on the big map. We flipped the building which
would come out like this and come around like that and, as he proposed to you in the
Work Session, he would continue to buffer this entire line as the way he proposed it so
he wouldn't need any buffering over here because this would now all eventually be field,
if you know what I'm trying to say. No one is impacted. You've all seen the site - this is
all nursery over here - they're not impacted. In fact, this is another reason this is
shielded more from Cox Neck Road than from the other because - it doesn't show it on
here but there is a row of trees in here and so his entrance way is already made for him
over here. He's got about a 30-40 foot entranceway - if you go and look at it - so he
doesn't have to do anything. It's all screened. Now, the trees that would have to be
moved in ,h. ere are arborvitae and spruce. They're all free standing. They're not bunched
up and he s got the equipment that he can just take them and put them right along in
here. The impact here would be very minimal of having to take out some trees over in
42
here and he could still meet all the other requirements of the site plan just by merely
flipping it. Basically, what he's doing is -
Mr. Edwards: Is your client happy with it?
Mr. Lark: Yes, they're satisfied with it. I just want you to understand that, if you take a
look at it, it would be just turning it over that way. Yes, they're here and they'll put it on
the record for you. They're here. They were party to all the discussions that I had with
Mr. Danowski and his proposal and I assume - I know that the Gatzs are in favor of it
too. Of course, that would have to be submitted to you; Staff would have to take a look
at it as well as we would take a look at it, so on and so forth. That's basically, in
simplest terms, 170 feet and buffering - flipping, that's about it.
Ms. Woodhouse: So, the building that you're proposing remains the same square
footage?
Mr. Danowski: Exactly.
Ms. Woodhouse: There's no change in the height?
Mr. Danowski: That is correct.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to speak on behalf of
this application? Hearing nothing else, I'll entertain a motion to close the hearing.
Mr. Edwards: So move.
Mr. Sidor: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor?.
Ayes: Ms. Woodhouse, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Sidor, Mr. Solomon
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? The motion is carried. The hearing is closed.
