Public Hearing was held August 10, 1976. Present wore: Supervisor Albert M. Martocchia Justice Louis Demarest Justice Martin Surer Councilman James H. Rich, Jr. Councilman James F. Homan Justice Demarest read the Notice of Hearing. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Southold at the Supervisor's Office, 16 South Street, Greenport, New York, on Tuesday, August 10, 1976, at 4:30 p.m., in the matter of the application of Eastern Long Island Kampgrounds, Inc. for permission to establish and operate a tourist camp on Queen Street, Greenport, New York. All persons interested in said matter shall appear at the time and place above specified and will be given an opportunity to be heard. DATED: July 27, 1976 BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD, JUDITH T. TERRY, TOWN CLERK Proofs of publication were presented from the Suffolk Times aud the Long Island Traveler - Watchman and an affidavit of posting on the Town Clerk's bulletin board signed by the Town Clerk was presented. Supervisor: You have heard the judge read the legal notice of the hearing today at 4:30 at this location, the legal advertising in the official paper which is the Traveler of Southold and the alternate paper, the Suffolk Times, and also the posting on the bulletin board in the Town Clerk's Office. At this time, the hearing is open to anyone that would like to speak in behalf of the applicant for this application. Richard Lark, Main Road, Mattituck, New York, speaking on behalf of Eastern Long Island Kampgrounds, Inc. I will speak from the presentation here. When the Board granted the change of zone back on March 29th of this year, they had before it, this is the proposed layout of the K0A campgrounds and the Board has also had at prior public hearings an aerial photograph of the area showing the 24 acres which is on the left panel and a smaller aerial photograph showing the relationship of the property with every- thing else. I thought for the purposes of the presentation since we are for a use permit, we are applying for one, from the Town Board for permission to operate a transient trailer campground, I thought I would cover, more or less, the conditions required in that specialized ordinance. However, since the time of granting of the change of zone, which was on March 29th, the applicant has obtained from the Planning Board site plan approval, which is necessary because in order to use this land, even though it has been zoned for multiple and business, you had to obtain a special exception from the Board of Appeals so I will be handing for the KOA -2- A~st 10, 1976 record a copy of the Planning Board resolution on June 21, 1976 granting site plan approval and a copy of the Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals resolution under date of July 22nd granting the special exception. Now, both of these agencies as well as the Town Board when they adopted the change of zone, imposed certain conditions over and above the normal zoning requirements for the use of this property. As I run through the ordinance, I will try to touch the bases of what the applicant is proposing to do. Basically, he has site plan approval and special exception approval for 73 units. The initial application which was approved by the Suffolk County Planning Commission and the Town Board called for 161 units but he is going in on a Section I or Phase I for 73 units. I will be referring to these various exhibits and then I will try to put them straight so the rest of the crowd can see them. Part of your conditions is to have Suffolk County Health Department approval. He has received Suffolk County Health Department approval for Section I. They have approved of his water and sewer layout and the general scheme of things that he does have. One of the things that the Board is going to have to determine and it is in the ordinance and I will cover it in a moment, the Tourist Ordinance, is his planting schedule, what he has planted and whether it provides suitabl® screening. That, the PlanningBoard has approved, on a planting schedule, on the perimeter of the property. I will refer back to that. In order to design the sewer, the road layout, which are required by the regulations, he had to see, these are permanent fixtures, how it would fit in to the overall scheme of things. You saw the road layout for the 161 sites and he proposes a Section 2 which he hopes to get started next year and he will have to come back for further approvals, it will be 145 sites, but before you today is 73 sites which is this one here. This is the one I will be speaking from. I believe the application complies with all the requirements and fees have been paid. The site, I think the Board is familiar with the change of zone, is a 24 acre parcel formerly known as the Sledjeski farm which is basically on the easterly side, the westerly side of Queen Street and the southerly side of Middle Road CR 27. The site, due to its geographical layout and the topography, does lend itself to this type of use. It is surrounded by woods which is part of the Greenport watershed, vacant property to the west and we have a migrant camp to the east and there are some single family residences along Queen Street. I think after the rain we have just experienced, the property isn't experiencing any undue puddles or anything like that at the present time. Because of the underlying clay, cesspools are not feasible and the applicant has entered into a contract with the Greenport Village for sewage and also for water so that is covered, which is one of the require- ments of your tourist ordinance. We will have an adequate supply of water of.~sanitary quality and, of course, the Board of Health has looked at his plans which have been prepared by McLendon, Holzmacher and Morrel and they have given approval for this hookup and the sewer loop and the water loop. Removal of garbage is covered by, in the application, will be removed during the season which will be April 1st to November 30th, which is one of the prior conditions for the change of zone, on a daily basis by a local contractor. There will be suitable containers around KOA -3- 10, 1976 the convenience store or the main administration building which is located 600 feet back from the roadway which is also another requirement of the Board and it is located 600 feet back. In the parking area, which has been worked out with the Building Inspector, and found to be suitable because this is a new first for the Town, we can't use the normal square footage for a parking area, that he feels that adequate parking spaces have been provided so the garbage disposal will be provided in that area and over in the areas by the satellite buildings. Two brown buildings which you saw on the first map of 162, stay in the same spot. They are the wash house and bathrooms for the use and convenience of the camper and they are hooked directly into the sewage lines, also. I might cover that because it is important for later on. As I indicated, the sewage lines and everything, once they are put in, then that's it. The sewage lines are in on a permanent basis and as the Board can see, the main building and the two satellite buildings will be hooked. The waterworks people in Greenport tell me there is no problem for future expansion in continuing these loops of water down and around and out that way. The sewage lines pretty much are fixed, are a fixed situation. Although, the Section I is for 73 units, a lot of the permanent things are being built for the overall thing so there wouldn't have to be any change. One of the requirements of your ordinance is that each one of the trailer or recreational vehicles shall be not less, shall be parked on an area overnight where they will be sleeping, on an area 50 feet by 100 feet. Each one of these scaled blocks that you see here is more or less rectangular or a parallelagram, are 50 by 100 feet and that 50 by 100 feet requirement also requires that none of the trailers be more than 30 feet from any property line or more than 20 feet from any interior roadway. So, any recreational vehicle parking on here, there will be ample space to have it more than 30 feet away from the property and, also, more than 20 feet from any of the interior roads. Also,auother requirement in your ordinance is that no two vehicles at the present time may be parked closer than 30 feet from one another. This also does provide ample space for that and the applicant will comply with that. The roadways which4y°u2 see in brown and in the paving for the parking, have to be feet wide and that is what the scale is there and will be built to the Southold Town specifications as required by the ordinance. The management of the tourist camp since you are issuing a tourist camp permit or license will be under the direct management of Mr. Wilton who will be managing the place directly. He is the principle stockholder and president of Eastern Long Island Kampgrounds, Inc. and he will speak a little bit later as to how he intends to run it. The compliance in your ordinance for notification to the police, his phone number and registration will be made available to the Police Department if the permit is granted by the Board. The ordinance also provides for fire extinguishers in at least five pound oapacity COo. They will be attached to the administration building and spread throughout the site. I think at this time I would like to make one point to the Board. There has been a lot of confusion on this. If an aerial photograph were to be taken of this when it is built, the only thing that will be seen will be the pool and the three buildings and the roads. All of those KOA ~st 10, 1976 squares will be underground lighting, underground wires for lighting, underground water and electrical connections, as well as underground sewage. It will be, basically, an open field, the way it is today. There is not going to be any clearing required for this first phase at all. We are not going to touch any of the woodland because it is not required. You can see in the aerial, it is all open farmland and, basically, it will be the same except for the three buildings and the road which I referred to. The screening, which is required by your regulation, he has received site plan approval for his planting schedule. As I understand it, he has consulted with the Soil Conservation District in Riverhead, for types of plautings such as the Japanese black pine, very desiduous trees. This is one of the things the Board is going to have to approve, what he has done, and what he proposes to do to provide a screening buffer or a scenic buffer to keep the campground self-contained. He has provided one on the chart which the Board has in its record, has received approval of the Planning Board. That basically, unless the Board has some questions on it, I have covered the main requirements of the Tourist and Trailer Camp Ordinance. However, in addition to that, over and above that, the Board did require certain conditions if he was going to apply for a KOA permit to operate it as a camp- ground, in the zone change in the spring. I will run through those briefly so the Board has them in front of them. He was to supply public water and sewage. I have covered that. He has a contract with the Village of Greenport and they will be providing it. That any portion of premises located within 100 foot, and we are not too much involved in this in phase one as we will be in the later phases, anything within 100 feet of the Village of Greenport public property, he is to provide a six-foot chain link fence. Phase I will require in certain areas on the easterly side, but since he will be beyond 100 feet on the southerly and westerly side, there won't be going in at the present time. That requirement will be met as required by the Board in the change of zone. The Board also required, as did the Suffolk County Planning Commission, a 100 foot buffer on CR 27 which will be used as nothing more than a landscape buffer. That has been provided. The only thing that would ever be allowed in there would be a directional sign with approval of the Board of Appeals. That has be~ provided for. He is to provide a single-lane turnoff. In other words, a deceleration lane, which will be on County property. That has received the approval of the Suffolk County Department of Public Works for that so that a widening of CR 27 would take effect in front of his property so the vehicles turning in would have an opportunity to get off the two lane, the travel lane. The Queen Street, he has presented plans to both the Planning Board and the Board of Appeals for the widening and to eliminate that sharp acuteness of that angular curve going into Queen Street. That will be complied with and Queen Street will be, as a condition of this, widened an additional seventeen feet and that seventeen feet will then be dedicated to the Town to coincide with its existing 33 feet. The 600 feet as the Board knows because of the interpretation of the Building Zone Ordinance by the Building Inspector, in order to have a convenience store and administration building, required a business zone on the front. The applicant didn't want a business zone per se. The only thing he is going K0A -5- 10, 1976 to put in there will be the check-in building. The board, to insure that, requested a requirement that for 600 feet from the road, there are to be no buildings. The site plan, as approved, provides for that. The building will be located back 600 feet and there will be no other structures, building structures, located thereon. The applicant has proposed, as part of his conditions, that he run it from April 1st to November 30th, which will be a requirement for the use permit, and as the Board also knows, the applicant also holds a XOA franchise. The Board of Appeals, in granting the special exception, on July 2nd and I will hand this up to the Clerk, adopted all the conditions of the Suffolk County Planning Commission which the Town Board adopted, adopted all the Town Board conditions that I have just covered, and in addition to the conditions of the transient trailer ordinance. And, in addition, added two conditions which I will have to bring to the Board's attention, that are over and above everything we have talked about. The first one I have alluded to is that all conditions of the tourist and trailer camp ordinance be complied with. The second one is that and I covered it because it is more than ample, that the parking area be at least 20,000 square feet. In my introductory remarks, I mentioned that this is kind of an oddball parking situation because you have trailer vehicles and larger vehicles than you normally figure on for retail shopping area which was already provided for in the existing ordinance. Other than that, those were the two conditions put on, and this site plan does comply with them. Unless there are any questions from the Board or anybody, I have covered the compliance aspects of the application with our Tourist and Trailer Ordinance, the zoning conditions imposed, the special exception conditions imposed, and the site plan conditions imposed. Mr. Wilton would like to take just a few minutes of the Board's time of what he intends to do and how he intends to operate because we are here for the permit. Justice Surer: You said Phase I was 73? Mr. Lark: That's correct. Justice Suter: And Phase 2 is 1457 Mr. Lark: Total, it would be a total of 145. Richard Wilton: This particular piece of property has several natural plantings around it which tend to enhance the campground. For example, this whole back portion is wooded. Along this portion of the campground is a row of trees and shrubs. (He showed a picture.? That picture was about this portion of the boundary line here. Along the road here is a row of locusts and go pretty much down all of Queen Street. The only place where there is no screening at this time is along the back of Leo Sledjeski's property and along this leg and across the front of the property. Today, without that planting you can stand anywhere along this road here and you cannot see these 12 foot storage trailers that are parked there right now. Once this campground is populated with the travel trailers, the KOA -6- 10, 1976 maximum height of those is about eight feet, so it will be virtually impossible to see anything back in this property. Today, we have planted several thousand Japanese black pine seedlings. We are going to plant some large shrubs as indicated on this plan on the back of Leo Sledjeski's house and along the side road here to give him some more buffer. The plantings were suggested by a fellow named Barnett in Riverhead, with the Soil Conservation District. We chose Japanese black pine mainly because of the rapid growth. They are suitable for poor soil conditions and they are suitable for near the seashore which is where the property is. The interior of the campground will be populated with desiduous trees and pine trees,at about every other site there will be a tree. There will be sporadic planting to break up the view. This was worked out with the Planning Board and ultimately approved by them. This campground when it is completed will be a big asset to the community. It will promote the tourism which Greenport, Southold is desparately needing. It will preserve the open spaces. The only thing you will see is the three buildings if you take an aerial. The rest is grass and trees. We will pay taxes, probably more than if it was converted to a residential area and we will add no children to the school system as they will not be full-time residents. We will increase local employment. Most of our construction will be done by local people, Southold people, Greenport people. It will be operated by myself and my family. It will be full-time. I think I am capable. I have a business degree and eighteen years experience in business. Maintenance, we will hire local people to maintain it and keep the grass cut and the trees trimmed and the gardens clean. Another benefit, there are several homes and a migrant labor camp which at the present time dump their raw sewage into cesspools. Traces of this have been found back in Moore's Woods. Once the campground has put in their sewer line, it will come down Queen Street, the migrant camp will be forced to hook in and the other people in a reasonable amount of time will also have to hook into it. Another benefit would be the use of the campground in the closed season, with the Board's approval, for youth groups - boy scouts, girl scouts and people like that. It would stop them from having to use park areas and importing portable stations. My timetable for this, assuming Board approval, is to begin the construction almost immediately. The buildings are on the premises now and stored in storage trailers. Our first step would be the founda- tions and roads and put the buildings up rather quickly. We are really surprised at the amount of support that we have received from local service groups, the Rotary and Chamber of Commerce and people like that. Some of our early opposition we learn now is not really against the campground or that type of business but the fact that we were successful in having the piece of real estate zoning changed. I think that's what the main objection was. Now, that that's out of the way, I think almost everybody in the town is for the pro~ect. I would like to refer you to a letter in the Suffolk Times that Mrs. Csajko sent to Mrs. Dorman. I think she makes that point too that the association is not necessarily against the KOA campground but they were against the spot zoning that they originally thought it was. Another thing KOA -7- [st 10, 1976 that was in the paper was an editorial "Breakfast with Charlie". I think that I might be Charlie. Mr. Lark: I would like to hand up to the Board, I have a certified copy of the Town Planning Board resolution approving the site plan for the 73 sites and also I have an original signed by the Chairman of the Board of Appeals signed August 10th today of the special exception. There were two other conditions that the Board of Appeals added and I think the Town Board should be aware of them. The first one is that Queens Street, there was a little ambiguity in the Town Board's original resolution, and they in their wisdom decided that Queen Street should be improved. In other words, it should be a 50 foot road just south of the entrance which would be about six hundred and some odd feet as shown on the site plan. The Queen Street widening would be just south of where the entranceway is here and the reason for that is that on the maps it was determined that they are just not sure just how far that dedication went, the original dedication, because it disappears into an unknown owner and the road is nothing more than a driveway. That was one condition they put in and the other condition that they put in is in the 600 feet prohibition that they interpreted after consulting with the Town Board and the Town Attorney, that recreational structures such as fencing, or tennis or baseball or other recreational uses, could be permitted since the Building Inspector, believe it or not, requires a building permit for a backstop. That the westerly border of the applicant's property shall be fenced with a six-foot as far south as the Village of Greenport and that would be this westerly border. There was some objection at the Board of Appeals and the only real objection was that the Town Board required fencing where the Village of Greenport was concerned but did not require fencing where this vacant land was concerned, so the Board of Appeals felt, they insisted that the same requirement where if you build within 100 feet over here, you should also put fencing over here to be consistent, so eventually the entire property would probably be self-contained and have a chain link fence around it. That is, basically, the only thing added by the Board of Appeals and I will hand up the original of the Board of Appeals, so the Town Board now has before it the site plan, the special exception approval and the Suffolk County Department of Planning on July 6th, since it did involve a special exception, since it was within so many feet of the County highway, it was sent back to them and they sent it back for local determination as of the letter of July 6th, subject to their original conditions which I referred to before. That pretty much concludes. Mr. Martocchia asked if any of the Board members had any questions and the answer was in the negative. Supervisor: At this time, is there anyone in the audience that would like to speak in favor of granting this application to operate this camp? Mr. Bouffard: I would like to know why it has taken so long, four years, for this plan to go through. Number two, why are we KOA -8- A~st 10, 1976 talking in terms of 73 instead of 160 at this time? Supervisor: Seeing this is the first project of this mature, I wouldn't exactly say the Town Board was dragging their feet, they wanted to make sure that the citizens of Southold Town were being given every opportunity for their protection, that the community should develop p~operly. Between the Planning Board and the Appeals Board, there are many, many conditions considered that the proper agencies should apply to this project so it would be a good project, if the Town Board went the final route. There many changes to it in the beginning that, perhaps, the applications were not good enough to satisfy the County of Suffolk as sewage conditions were not met. On re-application to the Suffolk County Plauning Commission, there were indications that they had arrived at an agreement with the Village of Greenport for water and sewage. The Planning Board, at that time, of Suffolk County left it to local determination. Some of the considerations were 162 units, I believe. The Town Board, in their wisdom, and advice of counsel and study of our own ordinances, indicated that that many units couldn't come out of approximately 24 acres, with certain areas being restricted. We came down to an area somewhere of l~O some. Other meetings were held and between the Planning Board and the Appeals Board, who shoved it back and forth many times, and it touched us when the zone change hearing was involved which was about May or June of last year. That is the reason for some of the delays. At this point, the applicant being late in the season, late spring, he knew he could not get the full project going due to lack of time. So, they discussed the possibility of doing it in stages and proposal number one is for seventy some odd units. They worked with the Planning Board and the Appeals Board and got it to this stage where we are today. They say the wheels of government move slowly. I hope my answer is satisfactory. Is there anyone else? Mr. Gehring: My name is Robert Gehring. Actually, I was quite startled that the parking areas are 50 by 100. I have stayed in a lot of K0A campsites and I don't think the areas have ever been this large. However, I was quite pleased to hear that they wanted to go along with this. I, myself, am all for this camp- ground. I would like to see it go through. Leo Tillinghast: The hurricane just chased me back from Chincoteague, Virginia, trailing my trailer behind me. I left 4 o'clock yesterday morning. When I was in Chincoteague, I stayed in Bals Cove Campground. It has 650 sites. You talk about your parking around the main building, the store and so forth. I looked. I never saw more than six vehicles parked around the site around the building and some of those were checking in. People don't drive a car or a trailer or what have you to buy a loaf of bread. They walk. There has been a lot of arguments over the water that was going to be used by all these people. The site I stayed in was 20 feet wide and 40 feet long. We had water. We had electricity. Each trailer has its own tank which holds body waste and it also holds sink and shower waste. Where we were they had the showers as he will have. We didn't use it. I don't, after four days, I would say I had about 12 gallons of water in my KOA -9- 10, 1976 tank from my sink. The last meeting we had, I heard 200 gallons of water a person. I don't know what they would ever do with it. Down there in those small spaces, everyone was happy. The Village of Chincoteague, I hadn't been there for five years. Every house is painted. They all have flower gardens out. They are prosperous where they certainly weren't before and they are getting this from tourists. We went away. We stayed on the road. Let's see, we went the second of August. We got chased home and it cost me about $300. That $300 was spent away from here and it was spent where these campgrounds are and it was all spent in these villages and towns and stores. Somebody has to benefit. Mrs. Hulse: I am all for these csmpgrounds. We are tent people. We are not trailer people. We are a family of six and we can't afford to take our kids to a hotel or motel. We like camping. We enjoy it very much. We have been married 15 years and we have camped the biggest part of that 15 years. There has been a lot of talk about campgrounds and camping in this area. This has been going on for a long time. Now, this man has finally gotten through to the people around here to bring in this campground. When we go camping, we look for KOA because they are the best campgrounds, they are the cleanest campgrounds. They have to meet an awful lot of requirements in order to get their franchise. It's not just a dump that is going to be run by somebody that doesn't really care, that is just out for a fast buck. These men are trying to bring money in to our area. Right now, we have shops that open up and close down within one season. That doesn't bring that much money into this area. I feel KOA will. Betty Capon, Greenport: I am a taxpayer. I have been to your meetings many times and I've always been in favor and I am reiterating the same thing. Ethel Quillin, Greenport: I don't have a camper but I think it is about time we brought some more business into our town. It's been going down, let's start building it up. Dianne Gehring, Greenport: I would like to say that I am all for the campsite and if I tell you why, I'll be here a long time. Melvin Leden: (16 Main Street, Greenport) I don't own a camper but I have been acquainted with a lot of them. I have seen what happened in McCann's Trailer Park here in Greenport. They wish they could have had a little better place than they have there, near the water where they could enjoy the beach and so forth. They tried but the Village couldn't do it so they finally ended up in the woods which turned out to be a beautiful spot. People come down here from the other end and they love it. They stay there a lot longer than they are supposed to and a lot of different things changed. I would like to go down as being in favor of this KOA. Dorothy Christiansen, Greenport: I am a camper and Bob and I go for many, many trips. KOA is clean. The people are friendly. When you get to a campsite and park next to someone, they come over and converse and it's a family get-together all the way around. I am in favor of this. KOA -10- Au 10, 1976 Richard Hulse, Greenport: I just want to add to what my wife says. They are beautiful places to go and I like them. In fact, we try to get to them as often as we can and I am in favor of this campsite. Margaret Bush: I have camped many, many, many years, Girl Scouts and otherwise. I am a tent camper and, locally, there is no place for tent campers. We really need the KOA. Rod Wells, Greenport: I have stayed in KOA's all over the country and in Canada and I think it will be an asset to the town and I am definitely in favor of it. Supervisor: Does anyone else wish to speak in favor? Hearing none, is there anyone who wishes to speak in opposition? Hearing none, is there anyone wishing to speak in either direction? Or for information? Mrs. Wiggin: I am Mrs. Wiggin of the North Fork Environmental Council. I have given a copy of the letter to the clerk that we wrote to you on May 21st of 1975. Our feelings are still the same as they were expressed in that letter. I do, however, have a question. Is this the appropriate time? Supervisor: This hearing is for the purpose of you telling us if you are for or against it or no opinion. Mrs. Wiggiu: My only question was I wanted to know how long this chain link fence was going to be in the Phase I area. Supervisor: I believe there was an agreement arrived at at one of the most recent hearings that the property to the west of it and I am not sure if I know the correct name of the owner. They had two points they raised and one was they thought it was spot zoning. The other was they thought they would like to have a fence for protection, and something has been worked out. I think Mr. Terry, the attorney, represented them. Supervisor: Has everyone had the opportunity to speak that wishes to speak? Hearing none, the Board will close this hearing and make a determination in the very near future. Thank you for coming.

May 2l, 1975 Southold Town Board 16 South Street Greenport, N.Y. 11944 Gentlemen: The North Fork Environmental Council wishes to go on record with the Town Board as being opposed to thc establishment of a K.O.A. Campground in Greenport as has been ~'ecent]y [)~opos~d, ad]actmt to Moore's Wood~:, and being pat'ticul~r]y cc)m~rm,d wi lb th~ a,lv.'~'~a, im[)aet ~-h,tt ~hc, cam})- ground would have on [:be area.

Wa oppose this development for the following reasons: ~ ':':'q' 1-. Damage to Moore's Woods will inevitably occur. This is a project ~,,~,,~,,, that received a presideutSal citation and was the result of the very hard work and support of many, many people. Tr;tnsients will not treat the area with the sam~, respect and seuse of responsibility that permanent resS dtmts would. Dama(le wS]l resull From tho followJ~(~ ~;ot~rcc~s: a.

This project would crowd the nearby I;own beach. At 162 sites with a conservative estimate of 4 persons per site, ther(~ will be at least 648 new people wanting to use tile town beach constantly throughout thc, entire bathing season. The heavy population den:;iky will inevJtaldy destroy fragile oco]ogy o[ rle;~rby rnlet pond, which is pre::ent being maintained [n it s natural ,:Olt(li I ion. 5. Water Usage One hundred sixty-two camp sites X 200 gallons per camp site per day = 32,400 gallons per day of fresh water consumed and sewage to be disposed of according to Suffolk County Health Department estimates. This is a consorvaLive figure, espe- cially if assunlcd to i~c]ude the laundromat flow. It does not include swimming pool drainage and backwash flow. This is especially conserw~tiv~, considt, rinq th,~t the of~ficial figure that the Ileu]lh l~,partmenk u:;os for d~,termining waste flow from trailer parks i:; 450 qdllon~; pe~' trailer per day.

Wate~ will be supplied by the (;~-eenpol t Waker Dk~;trict and revenno will go to the Village bu[ the water will probably be coming from the district wells located in Southold Town, since the Village wells are nearly developed ~o capacity. ALlowing an increased density on this site will in effect be taking water from Southold Tom that could provide for service to a much S~uthold Town Board -1- May 2], 1975 larger area of normal one ,~cre der, lodgment. In addition, all this water will be wast.ed l~y discharg~ te lhe Sound through the Greenport sewage treatment ~lant ~he~'eas wii'h one acre develop- ment it would be recharg~cl.

Police Prot(~ction Another potentially bad trouble spot wi. ll be created by the camp site and will require greater coverage during the heavy summer season both of the campgrounds and thr~ beaches than would be caused by normal one acrt, development, and will there- fore be an additional expense to the '['own taxpayers. For giving away some of its precious low density land and allowing use of a]r~ady crowded Towt~ b dch ~,, V~llage woods and County park land, the Town will. g,,t nolhing in return: a. No open space is proposed by the development to be dedicated to Town use; just a scenic easement. No significant r(~venu~,s will ¥c~sull: 1o towilslCr¢ople from camp residents. All lees will go to the camp owners, all sales in the stores will go to camp owners and all laundromat sales will go to camp owners. Campers tradi- tionally spend as little money as possible. They are camping usually because it is the cheapest way to travel. The only foresee,bi, signi£icant [~urchases made by campers outside of the campqrounds will b~-[or gas and auto repairs and those will be mostly in Greenport Village, not in the Town. Southold Town Board --4- May 21, 1975 Instead of following: q3he land will not rew,rt to single one family residential[ 7. oning if the camp si~,~ fnil~; et- if the owners want to There is no way to .li. lnil tht~ typo el mi.~lht be made in I:hc I rtl-ute, el I he >arcel. The ~ finaucial ~?~>turn thitt ['tu~ Town can expect l:; in the term of taxes and they will probably not be as groa~ in total for a seasonal camp sst, as they would bc for normal, permanent house site development. approving the project as submitted, we wSsh to propose the Allow only the density, which present zonkng will permit, per- haps allowing 2 sites per acre instead of 1 because of the 6 months seasonal use and then protect Moore's Woods with chain link fence surrounding the woods, at the developer's expense. If it can be demonstrated that a need doe,~; exist in the East~ End of Suffolk County fei' additioni/l camp sites, provide fo]' thom on public parkland a] t'cady dedic~Lcd fei- this which can be properly control]ed and which will bring revenue to the public rather than to a few individuals and then strictly limit the number of sites to what the arcs can support, not to what the tourist market w.i]l bear. If the Town feels such a need exists they can work closely Ju con ira]etlon w'[th Count5, and ,qtate park offScJal~; ~o son tha~ such sci-vices are oxpanJed. Provide several dispersed smaller camp sites, which will lessen the adverse impact on one locality. Large camp sites should be located in non-sensitive areas of the Island such as interior sections of Riverhead or Brook- haven Towns. AIl campers are mobile and primarily require a central place to camp with adequale [utilities So that all points of interest can be e;~sil, y reechoed, l't is not necessary for the camp site to b(~ ]oc,tted immed[~tto]y adjactmt to the points of interest.

After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicant own approximately 24 acres on the south side of CR27. On March 28, 1976, the southerly 18.87 acres was zoned "M-l" and the northerly portion of approximately 5.12 acres was zoned "B" (Light Business) by the Southold Town Bo~d, after referral to the Planning Board and the Suffolk County Planning Commission, which deemed the change of zone a matter of local determination subject to compliance with the following conditions Public water supply and sanitary sewage disposal will be supplied by the Inc. Village of Greenport. The number of campsites will be limited to 162 in com- pliance with "M-l" District requirements. 3. The buildings erected on Parcel II will be only those used in connection with transient travel campgrounds. A 100 ft. landscaped buffer zone comprising 0.4732 acres will be provided on the northerly portion of premises as it fronts on Middle Road (CR27). the 5. Queen Street is to be widened and improved as per Town of Southold specifications. The Suffolk County Planning Department has again on July 2, 1976, approved the revised plan as presented to the Board of Appeals and as approved by the Southold Town Planning Board on June 21, 1976, stating that the current proposed Special Excep- tion by the Board of Appeals is a matter for .local determination since the current proposed action of the Appeals Board is more restrictive than the conditions set forth in the Planning Com- mission letter of April 10, 1975. In summary as of this date, the Board finds that the fol- lowing agencies of County and Town government have acted as fol- lows in this matter: Suffolk County Planning Commission - the Commission has reviewed this application several times and has deemed it a matter for local determination subject to the con- ditions set forth in their letter of April 10, 1975. o Suffolk County Department of Health the Health Depart- ment approval has been received and copies of approved drawings have been sent to the Southold Town Planning Board and Building Department as per letter dated June 9, 1976, from Richard C. Wilton for Eastern Long Island Kampgrounds, Inc.. Suffolk County Department of Public Works - a permit been granted for a deceleration lane subject only to bonding. has Southold Town Board - after the public hearing of May 27, 1975, the Board changed the zoning to "M-l" and "B" as previously noted subject to eight conditions enumerated later in this action. -2- Southold Town Planning Board - the Board made recommen- dations on the Change of zone and also made reviews of the site plans, including the final June 19, 1976, site plan of Part I, action dated June 21, 1976. o Village of Greenport - the Village has signed a sewage contract with the applicant and agrees to furnish water. The Board of Appeals - the Board held a hearing on June 10, 1976, for a Special Exception and recessed the hearing until further notice. Pages 16-36 of the Board minutes of June 10, 1976, record the hearing. A public notice of the continuation of the recessed hearing is given in the current Town newspapers. The Board further finds that in addition to the above actions the following individuals or organizations have contributed an understanding of this project for the establishment of 73 camp- sites at the present time known as Section I: Building Inspector - assistance in all aspects of plan- ning including parking requirements estimated at 20,000 sq. ft. adjacent to administration building. Southold Town Planning Board - initial recommendations for change of zone, review of site plans, overall re- quirements as to water, sewage, buildings, etc. 3. Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell, Consulting Engineers - water and sewage layout. John Jacobsen, Traffic Engineer - traffic count of ap- proximately 400 or less per hour on CR27 between 4:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. on Memorial Day Weekend. K.O.A. studies indicate a vehicular trip total of three (3) per day per occupant of the campsite. Usual check-in time is between 4:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.. 5. Richard Koopman - prepared a 36-page environmental study for the applicant. Richard C. Wilton - a soil study noted by Mr. Wilton in- dicates clay under a portion of the site, which will re- quire sewer arrangements. The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not be permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed. THEREFORE IT WAS RESOLVED, Richard C. Wilton, President, Eastern Long Island Kampgrounds, Inc., P.O. Box 89, 600 Queen Street, Greenport, New York be GRANTED permission to construct a campground and trailer park on the south side of CR27 and the west side of Queen Street, Greenport, New York, subject to the following conditions, which include the eight conditions origi- nally outlined by the Town Board as well as additional conditions and interpretations of the Board of Appeals: That public water supply and sanitary sewage disposal to the premises which are the subject of this -3- Sa. 6a. resolution be supplied by the Incorporated Village of Greenport at the sole cost and expense of the petition- ers which said water supply and sewage disposal systems shall comply with all of the requirements of all agen- cies having jurisdiction thereof, and that said water supply and sewage disposal systems be installed and in operation prior to the occupancy of the premises for any purpose whatsoever. That in the event that any portion of the premises lo- cated within 100 feet of the land owned by the Village of Greenport is utilized for campgrounds or trailer sites, a 6 foot chain link or equivalent type fence shall be erected and maintained along the boundary line of said land of the Village of Greenport. That the portion of the premises adjacent to County Route 27 to a distance of 100 feet therefrom shall be at all times maintained as a landscaped buffer zone and that no buildings or structures of any type whatsoever shall be erected or maintained thereon. That the type and location of landscaping within said buffer zone be approved by the Planning Board of the Town of Southold; that in the event that County Route 27 shall be widened, altered or relocated that said buffer zone shall be ex- tended so that said buffer zone shall at all times ex- tend 100 feet from the said highway. That to minimize traffic hazards that may occur by rea- son of trailer vehicles entering and leaving said prem- ises, suitable turn-off or deceleration lanes or such other highway facilities as the agency having juris- diction of County Route 27 shall prescribe shall be pro- vided.

Prior to oc- cupancy of the rezoned premises by the owners thereof for trailer park purposes, the owners shall at their own expense improve and pave a 17 foot strip along the west- erly boundary of Queen Street in accordance with the Town highway requirements and when so improved and paved, dedicate the same to the Town of Southold. (added by Board of Appeals) Queen Street shall be im- proved as far south as the southerly side of the en- trance to the K.O.A. campground but not beyond. That the portion of the premises extending from a point 100 feet south of County Route 27 to a point 600 feet south of County Route 27 be restricted to open recrea- tional uses with no structures constructed thereon.

The westerly border of the applicant's property shall be fenced with a 6 foot, chain link fence or equivalent as far south as land of Village of Greenport, at which point Condition ~2 becomes applicable. -4- That any use of said premises as a campground as pro- posed by Petitioners shall be on a seasonal basis only for the period from April 1st to November 30th of each year. That said premises be used only for the purpose of op- erating thereon campgrounds franchised by Kampgrounds of America, Inc. in accordance with all of the ordi- nances, laws and regulations of the Town of Southold and other authorities having jurisdiction thereof and that no buildings or structures shall be erected on the premises nor shall the premises be used for any use ex- cept the uses specified herein and uses accessory and incidental thereto. CONDITIONS ADDED BY THE BOARD OF APPEALS A condition of granting this special exception is that the applicant's site plan shall meet all requirements of the Tourist and Trailer camp ordinance, which in- cludes the requirement of a permit issued by the Town Board. Among other things, minimum requirements under this ordinance require camp sites shall be not less than 50 x 100 feet in area located so as to be readily accessible from roadways or driveways; constructed to a minimum width of 24 feet; constructed in accord with Southold Town Highway specifications. No building per- mits may be issued until all requirements of Town or- dinances have been met. 10.

If it meets with your approval my brother, G. H. Smith and myself who are the owners of this property, would like to use this property as one single lot, with the following stipulations: that we have permission to sell to the adjoining owner Mr. Howard Brown a small portion to enlarge his property, approximately 20' to 30' leaving a 20' or 30' right of way to the one lot, also removing the restriction that we have to have public water. Thanking you for your consideration in this matter, I am /s/ Daniel T. Smith The Planning Board is in agreement with the above proposals. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED to approve the revised map of Kampgrounds of America dated June 19, 1976 as presented with the exception that the lot protruding into the parking lot be converted to additional parking which will reduce the total number of sites to 73 as shown on map and initialled. Th~ P]~mm~ ~r~ wm]ld au~es~ ±hat the mooi and recrestlonai structures should be north of the administration building. in the opinion of the Planning Board, the 600 foot depth of the buffer zone has been reconsidered and has been found to be inconsisteh6 with the sKape and use of the property. Therefore, we feel 325 feet is sufficient for a buffer zone. In our opinion, these changes ~ould be made for Section 2. This ~ _ . . n is subject to resolving problems with the appropriat~ ~c~z~ [odies and town attorney. Vote o' -:.. :~,ard: Ayes: Wick_ham, Raynor, Coyie, Grebe, Gordon. Notion -.c~=s z:ale by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon and carried that c:.~ ~eeting be adjourned. Meeting was adjourned at 11:07 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Muriel~rush ,~ Secretary Jo},n WI hairman C. EDMONDS ALLEN June 22, 1975~ Albert Martoaahia Tov,m Supervisor Southold Tov~ Board Greenport, [few York Dear ~,:r. 1.Tartocchia, It is hard to conceive that the Southold Town ~oard would seriosly consider the spot zonin~ proposal proposed by KOA for the 18 acres at the corner of Forth ](oad a~d Queen street.. Suffolk County is in the process of spending millions of dollars to purchase development rights to land in an effort to maintain the rural ataosphere of this area. The ]OA project would vi,~ate the well conceived ideals of the County 8oard. One has only to drive eround P!orida to see how such a project can down grade a residential .o. ~munl ty. ±ne current 'i'lme i.a~az_~ne has an anal};sis ~hich rates campers, such as v. ould inhebit bhis i~OA, as %he lo¥,est grade of tourists. Don't we have enou{h orouol~ with our crov,.oed roads and beaches, v, ith our problems of v. ater supply and se~aged~s,~osst/?.,' 'f ~' f ~' 'ouch a project would c om!.-~ound them. Our community doesn't need or ~..~.n~ this ~y~e of =.~plo1 ~a olon. it is to be fervently hoped that the Southold To~,e Board will bury this yroposed project quick and deep. S~ncerely, C.
