~mdersigned are the owners of certain real property situated at Greenport~
~D.W~...Q,f_~Qtt.th~.~.~I.,.....N...-..Y...-. ..... and more particularly bounded and described as follows:
PARCEL i - See attached description Schedule 1
PARCEL 2 - See attached description Schedule 2
2. I do hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of Southold to change, modify and
amend the Building Zone Ordinance of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York,
including lhe Building Zone Maps heretofore made a part thereof, as follows:
PARCEL 1 - From "A" Residential and Agricultural District to
"M-l" General Multiple Residence District
PARCEL 2 - From "A" Residential and Agricultural District to
"B" Light Business District
3. Such request is made for the following reasons:
Your petitioners are owners of a Kampgrounds of America,
Inc. (KOA) franchise for EasternLong Island and have purchased
the parcels of land described in Schedules 1 and 2 which consist
of a total of 24 acres, formerly known as the Leo Sledjeski farm
on the south side of Middle Road and the westerly side of Queen
~treet, near Greenport, New York.
Your petitioners are proposing to develop these parcels
of land as a KOA campground for the seasonal use and enjoyment
of the camping public. As seen from Exhibits 1 and 3, it is
intended that parcel 1 which consists of 18.8727 acres be
developed for camping sites. The proposed layout will allow
ample space for 133 sites for trailers and vehicles and 29
campsites for campers with tents for a total of 162 camping
sites. The proposed road layout, Exhibit 9, will help to pre-
serve the natural character and atmOsphere of the campground.
It is proposed to plant trees and other suitable planting and
shrubbery around the boundary of the property and throughout the
campground to provide a blending in with the surrounding woodland
and also to provide screening and shade to campsites.
Parcel 2 consisting of 5.1273 acres is primarily for the
construction of a recreation area as an accessory use to the
campground. In this area there will be constructed such amenities
as a swimming pool, additional picnic and parking areas, play-
grounds for children, and a miniature golf course for the use of
the campers. Also, there will be located on this parcel the KOA
"A-frame" style building as depicted in Exhibit 4. This building
will house the administrative offices, a lounge, rest rooms, a
store for the purchase of convenience goods and a laundromat for
the use of the campers. Your petitioners are proposing a Decla-
ration of Protective Covenants and Restrictions which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 7 restricting the use of parcel 2 so that the
buildings erected on this parcel will be only those used in con-
nection with'transient travel trailer campgrounds. In addition,
the petitioners are proposing a Declaration of Protective Cove-
nants and Restrictions to provide a landscape buffer zone of
.4732 acre, prohibiting the construction of any buildings on the
northerly 100 feet of the property as it fronts on County Road 27.
This Declaration is attached hereto as Exhibit 8.
Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) is the largest and most
experienced system of franchise family campgrounds in America.
In order to give some idea of the nature and scope of the KOA
campground system, the petitioners are enclosing Exhibit 5 which
is the KOA Handbook and Directory for Campers and Exhibit 6, a
KOA brochure entitled "Your Town, U.S.A." To keep a KOA franchise,
individual campground owners must meet and maintain standards for
sanitation, neatness and cleanliness. To assure quality camp-
trounds and maintenance of its standards, KOA frequently sends
inspectors to various campgrounds.
The property is near various tourist attractions in the
Town of Southold and the shopping area of the Village of Green-
port. The proposed campground will promote the .tourist industry
of Southold Town and allow for open spaces that would not be
achieved by permitted residential development. When complete,
the campground will be the finest on Eastern Long Island and will
be a tremendous asset in attracting camping tourists. The main
entrance to the campground will be approximately 600 feet south
of Middle Road on the westerly side of Queen Street and this will
relieve possible traffic congestion on the Middle Road. Public
water supply and sanitary sewage disposal will be supplied by
the Incorporated Village of Greenport.
The parcel is cleared and is ideal for the proposed
campground because of its relative,isolation from surrounding
homes and businesses. The parcel is bounded on the north by
Middle Road. Immediately across this road are several parcels
of land which are vacant, and it is bounded on the east by
Queen Street and vacant land of the Village of Greenport. Im-
mediately across Queen Street to the east are several small
residences. The property is bounded on the south by other
vacant woodland of the Village of Greenport and on the west
by land of J. Fenno and A. R. Francisco which is vacant and
land of Leo Sledjeski upon which is located his residence.
Your petitioners submit that the development of this camp-
ground as proposed will be a definite asset to the Town of
Southold and will increase the tourist industry, and increase
the tax revenue to the Town without the usual corresponding
overburdening of schools and other municipal facilities.
