RE: FOIL Request for proposed Ehrlich, Robert Site Plan
SCTM# 1000-18-5-5
Dear Mr. Moore:
The Planning Department is in receipt of the Application For Public Records (Freedom of
Information Form) submitted to the Town Clerk and forwarded to the Planning
Department on April 24, 2006 and again on May 12, 2006. As always, the file and all
documents available under the FOIL request are available for review in the Planning
Department.
Please note, however, we are advised by counsel that many of the types of documents
you request consist of communications between or among agency officials, and thus are
not discoverable under the exception to disclosure appearing at §87(2)(g). Any such
documents that don't qualify for this exception, e.g., final agency decisions, statistical
tabulations or direct instructions to staff, will be made available in the public file.

RE:
Ehrlich Property, 22540 Main Rd. Orient, SCTM#1000-18-5-5
I was called to the above site on a complaint that C&D debris had been dumped on the
lot as driveway material. An examination of the material reveals it is indeed C&D a non-
permitted substance.
While there, I approached the front door from the porch and observed the inside of the
front room. It has been configured and appliances installed that are consistent with a
commercial use.
I examined the most recent amended plans submitted to your office, as well as a letter
from the architect stating that the applicant is intending a commercial use. The plan no
longer resembles a one family dwelling as originally approved.
I request a review of the permit file by your office to determine if the proper approvals
are in place for this type of use and for construction to continue.

ARTICLE 2, SECTION 220, SUFFOLK COUNTY SANITARY CODE
To: Linda Mermelstein, M.D., M.P.H., Acting Commissioner
From: Stephen A. Costa, P.E.. Chairman, Board of Review
Subject: Findings and Recommendations of the Review Board Regarding:
CIO-02-0016 - Orient Coffee Company, slw/c Village Lane and Route 25,
Orient - tlo Southold - SCTM: 1000 01800 0500 005000
Hearing Date: July 10,2003
Statement of Problem
Construction standards require that the distance between sanitary systems and shallow
private wells be at least 150 feet. The applicant is proposing installing the sanitary
system less than 150 feet from a private well. Water standards require a minimum of40
feet of water in a well casing. The on-site well for this project has less than 40 feet of
water in the casing.
Fiodiol!s and Facts
1. The applicant wishes to convert an existing single-family residence to a take-out
coffee bar and restaurant.
2. The parcel size is 0.28 acre and is located in Groundwater Management Zone 4.
3. Design flow for the project is 300 gallons per day (gpd), which includes 240 gpd
of kitchen now and 60 gpd of sanitary flow. Yield at density is 84 gpd. The
project conforms to density requirements.
4. Soil conditions are good, with 3.5 ft. of loam and 3.5-9 ft. of coarse sand &
gravel, and sand deeper.
5. Depth to groundwater is 16 ft.
6. The variances requested are as follows:
a. Proposed well
i. 88 feet from proposed sewage disposal system
ii. Shallow, less than 40 feet of water in the well
b. Proposed sewage disposal system
i. 88 feet from proposed on-site well
ii. 93 feet from existing well on the lot to the southeast
iii. 101 feet from existing well on the lot to the south
iv. 66 feet from existing well 00 the lot to the west.

CIO-02-0016 - Orient Coffee Company, slw/c Village Lane and Route 25,
Orient - tlo Southold - SCTM: 1000 01800 0500 005000
7. According to an engineering report submitted by the applicant groundwater flow
is toward the southwest.
8. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing single cesspool with a new
sewage system consisting of a grease trap, septic tank and leaching pool.
9. The proposed well will be 50 feet total depth with 34 feet of water in the well.
Standards require at least 40 feet of water in Ihe well. The proposed well cannot
be made deeper due to the presence of chlorides.
10. Department and stale health standards require that this site operate a
noncommunity public water supply in order to serve the public.
II. A memorandum is on file from Robert Farmer, P.E., supervisor of the Drinking
Water Unit, which states that the project is not recommended for approval as a
noncommunity public water supply. This is based on the distance from the
proposed on-site sewage disposal system to the well and the shallow depth of the
well. The memorandum also notes that recent water analyses from nearby private
wells show a general trend of elevuted nitrates with some traces of ammonia,
indicating possible sewage impacts to the groundwater. The memo also notes that
there is a plume of contamination from MTBE south of this project.
12. A water analysis from a test well on the site showed the water met drinking water
standards, although there was a trace of ammonia found.
13. A letter is on file from the Town of Southold Planning Office that states that the
town did not have a site plan application pending and that in their opinion the site
and location of the proposed use was insuffieient to support the intensity of the
change of use. Mr. Bruno Semon, senior site planner reviewer for the Southold
Town Planning Board also appeared at the hearing to reinforce that position and
to request a coordinated SEQRA review.
14. Two neighboring property owners appeared at the hearing and another forwarded
a letter to the board. All expressed concerns over the impact a business operation
on the site would have on their wells.
Determination
It was a 3 to 0 determination of the Board to deny the tequest for the variance. The
Board deliberated the facts presented, in accordance with Article 6, Section 760-609 of
the Suffolk County Sanitary Code requirements and concluded the application does not
warrant a variance. The requested variance is from a construction standard that requires a
ISO' separation distance between a proposed sanitary system and drinking water wells
located on adjacent property and for a shallow well on the subject property that is within
150 feet of the sewage disposal system and must be approved as a noncommunity public

water supply. The application is being denied based on our review of the criteria in
Suffolk County Sanitary Code (Sanitary Code), Section 760-609(A) and the potential
public health impacts of your application. Specifically, the Board of Review finds that:
. There are shallow wells downgradient from the proposed sewage disposal system.
In accordance with ~760-609A.l.b, granting of the variance would result in the
uses of groundwater as a drinking water supply being impaired, taking into
account the direction of groundwater flDw.
. The proposed welI is not acceptable as a noncommunity public water supply
because of the proximity to a sewage disposal system and the shalIow depth.
Traces Df ammDnia were found in the test well. In accordance with ~760-
609A.l.e, granting of the variance would adversely affect the design of an
adequate on-site water supply, taking into account depth tD groundwater, directiDn
of groundwater flDw and shalIDw welI cDnditions.
As pcr 9760-609 of the Sanitary CDde, the approv;'ll of [he variance would not be in
hannony with the general purpose and intent of the Sanitary Code to protect groundwater
and drinking water supplies, surface water and other natural resources, and public health,
safety and welfare.

article In The SuffOlk 71m., not through a correct legal notice, which would have been
more appropriate. there has been overwhelmlng oppesition in Orient to his proposal(S).
We realize thst the Ehrlich property, through some qulrll. or mistake, Is zoned
commercial, though the property has always been used residentially. Under the previous

renllll properties ere _1C8 and the Town la trying to find solutions to lack af .IIlfordeble

Most af us would accept an unobtrusllle busIness there. We emphatically do not want
anything like what Mr.Ehrllch has quietly prepared his property for. Many of ua have
already adequately documented our reaaons for our oppesitlan. ao I will not here

To Whom It May Concern:
We respectfully request that you immediately stop all work affiliated with building
permit #28213, at 22540 Main Road, Orient, NY, SCTM# 18-5-5.
Following a recent inspection of your property and further review of your file, it has
come to our attention that you have gone beyond the scope of what is permitted by the
above referenced permit. As you will recall, the permit was issued for alterations to an
existing single family dwelling, the only use for which you have a certificate of
occupancy in place.
It is apparent that you have changed the scope of work. As a result, you are required to
gain the proper approvals before work can continue. This includes approval from the
Southold Town Planning Board and, depending on the proposed use, possible approval
from the Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals.
Also, we respectfully request that you clean up the construction debris that has been
observed on the above referenced property.
If you do not address these issues in a timely manner, further action will be taken which
may result in the revocation of your permit.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact this office at (631) 765-1802,
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Dear Inspector.
Enclosed are 3 sets of stamped plans, a construction permit application, and a check for a minor
renovation in Orient. The owner has some future plans to conven to a business use. But it is
expected that planning approvals will take some time, so he wants to make some minor modifications
to the building to make it more suitable for his personal use in the meantime. As always, please call

ARTICLE 2, SECTION 220, SUFFOLK COUNTY SANITARY CODE
To: Linda Mermelstein, M.D., M.P.H., Acting Commissioner
From: Stephen A. Costa, P.E., Chairman, Board of Review
Subject: Findings and Recommendations of the Review Board Regarding:
CIO-02-0016 - Orient Coffee Company, s/w/c Village Lane and Route 25,
Orient - t/o Southold - SCTM: 1000018000500005000
Hearing Date: July 10,2003
Statement of Problem
Construction standards require that the distance between sanitary systems and shallow
private wells be at least 150 feet. The applicant is proposing installing the sanitary
system less than 150 feet from a private well. Water standards require a minimum of 40
feet of water in a well casing. The on-site well for this project has less than 40 feet of
water in the casing.
Findinl!:s and Facts
I. The applicant wishes to convert an existing single-family residence to a take-out
coffee bar and restaurant.
2. The parcel size is 0.28 acre and is located in Groundwater Management Zone 4.
3. Design flow for the project is 300 gallons per day (gpd), which includes 240 gpd
of kitchen flow and 60 gpd of sanitary flow. Yield at density is 84 gpd. The
project conforms to density requirements.
4. Soil conditions are good, with 3.5 ft. of loam and 3.5-9 ft. of coarse sand &
gravel, and sand deeper.
5. Depth to groundwater is 16 ft.
6. The variances requested are as follows:
a. Proposed well
i. 88 feet from proposed sewage disposal system
ii. Shallow, less than 40 feet of water in the well
b. Proposed sewage disposal system
i. 88 feet from proposed on-site well
11. 93 feet from existing well on the lot to the southeast
iii. 101 feet from existing well on the lot to the south
IV. 66 feet from existing well on the lot to the west.
. .
Linda Mermelstein, M.D., M.P.H., Commissioner
Hearing Date: July 10,2003
Subject: Findings and Recommendations of the Review Board Regarding:
CIO-02-0016 - Orient Coffee Company, s/w/c Village Lane and Route 25,
Orient - t/o Southold - SCTM: 1000018000500005000
7. According to an engineering report submitted by the applicant, groundwater flow
is toward the southwest.
8. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing single cesspool with a new
sewage system consisting of a grease trap, septic tank and leaching pool.
9. The proposed well will be 50 feet total depth with 34 feet of water in the well.
Standards require at least 40 feet of water in the well. The proposed well cannot
be made deeper due to the presence of chlorides.
10. Department and state health standards require that this site operate a
noncommunity public water supply in order to serve the public.
II. A memorandum is on file from Robert Farmer, P.E., supervisor of the Drinking
Water Unit, which states that the project is not recommended for approval as a
noncommunity public water supply. This is based on the distance from the
proposed on-site sewage disposal system to the well and the shallow depth of the
well. The memorandum also notes that recent water analyses from nearby private
wells show a general trend of elevated nitrates with some traces of ammonia,
indicating possible sewage impacts to the groundwater. The memo also notes that
there is a plume of contamination from MTBE south of this project.
12. A water analysis from a test well on the site showed the water met drinking water
standards, although there was a trace of ammonia found.
13. A letter is on file from the Town of Southold Planning Office that states that the
town did not have a site plan application pending and that in their opinion the site
and location of the proposed use was insufficient to support the intensity of the
change of use. Mr. Bruno Semon, senior site planner reviewer for the Southold
Town Planning Board also appeared at the hearing to reinforce that position and
to request a coordinated SEQRA review.
14. Two neighboring property owners appeared at the hearing and another forwarded
a letter to the board. All expressed concerns over the impact a business operation
on the site would have on their wells.
Determination
It was a 3 to 0 determination of the Board to deny the request for the variance. The
Board deliberated the facts presented, in accordance with Article 6, Section 760-609 of
the Suffolk County Sanitary Code requirements and concluded the application does not
warrant a variance. The requested variance is from a construction standard that requires a
150' separation distance between a proposed sanitary system and drinking water wells
located on adjacent property and for a shallow well on the subject property that is within
150 feet of the sewage disposal system and must be approved as a noncommunity public
.
Linda MennelsteintD., M.P.H., Commissioner
Hearing Date: July to, 2003
Subject: Findings and Recommendations of the Review Board Regarding:

water supply. The application is being denied based on our review of the criteria in
Suffolk County Sanitary Code (Sanitary Code), Section 760-609(A) and the potential
public health impacts of your application. Specifically, the Board of Review finds that:
· There are shallow wells downgradient from the proposed sewage disposal system.
In accordance with S760-609A.l.b, granting of the variance would result in the
uses of groundwater as a drinking water supply being impaired, taking into
account the direction of groundwater flow.
· The proposed well is not acceptable as a noncommunity public water supply
because of the proximity to a sewage disposal system and the shallow depth.
Traces of ammonia were found in the test well. In accordance with S760-
609A.l.e, granting of the variance would adversely affect the design of an
adequate on-site water supply, taking into account depth to groundwater, direction
of groundwater flow and shallow well conditions.
As per 9760-609 of the Sanitary Code, the approval of the variance would not be in
harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Sanitary Code to protect groundwater
and drinking water supplies, surface water and other natural resources, and public health,
safety and welfare.

Re. Ehrlich Property, Orient
I am writing to add to what must already be a large folder on the above-cited property.
Since March 2002 when Mr. Ehrlich's plans were first revealed to the community Via an
article in The Suffolk Times, not through a correct legal notice, which would have been
more appropriate, there has been overwhelming opposition in Orient to his proposal(s),
We realize that the Ehrlich property, through some quirk or mistake, is zoned
commercial, though the property has always been used residentially. Under the previous
owners, I understand that it was a legal two- or three- family house. In a time when
rental properties are scarce and the Town is tlYing to find solutions to lack of affordable
housing, it is counterproductive to change a structure which could house three families
into an unwanted and intrusive busineS$.
Most of us would accept an unobtrusive busin8S$ there. We emphatically do not want
anything like what Mr.Ehrlich has quietly prepared his property for. Many of us have
already adequately documented our reasons for our opposition, so I will not here
reconatruct them yet again. .
I understand that a stop-work order has been issued, perhaps a bit late since it seems all
the work is done, ready for an opening. I am now In Cape Town, South Afrtca. I cannot
monitor proceedings from across the road, as I usually do, both for Josh Horton and Ed

CIO-02-0016 - Orient Coffee Company, s/w/c Village Lane and Route 25,
Orient - tlo Southold - SCTM: 1000018000500005000
Hearing Date: July 10, 2003
Statement of Problem
Construction standards require that the distance between sanitary systems and shallow
private wells be at least 150 feet. The applicant is proposing installing the sanitary
system less than 150 feet from a private well. Water standards require a minimum of 40
feet of water in a well casing. The on-site well for this project has less than 40 feet of
water in the casing.
Findines and Facts
1. The applicant wishes to convert an existing single- famil y residence to a take-out
coffee bar and restaurant.
2. The parcel size is 0.28 acre and is located in Groundwater Management Zone 4.
3. Design flow for the project is 300 gallons per day (gpd), which includes 240 gpd
of kitchen flow and 60 gpd of sanitary flow. Yield at density is 84 gpd. The
proj ect conforms to density requirements.
4. Soil conditions are good, with 3.5 ft. of loam and 3.5-9 ft. of coarse sand &
gravel, and sand deeper.
5. Depth to groundwater is 16 ft.
6. The variances requested are as follows:
a. Proposed well
i. 88 feet from proposed sewage disposal system
ii. Shallow, less than 40 feet of water in the well
b. Proposed sewage disposal system
i. 88 feet from proposed on-site well
ii. 93 feet from existing well on the lot to the southeast
iii. 101 feet from existing well on the lot to the south
iv. 66 feet from existing well on the lot to the west.

Orient - tlo Southold - SCTM: 1000018000500005000
7. According to an engineering report submitted by the applicant, groundwater flow
is toward the southwest.
8. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing single cesspool with a new
sewage system consisting of a grease trap, septic tank and leaching pool.
9. The proposed well will be 50 feet total depth with 34 feet of water in the well.
Standards require at least 40 feet of water in the well. The proposed well cannot
be made deeper due to the presence of chlorides.
10. Department and state health standards require that this site operate a
noncommunity public water supply in order to serve the public.
II. A memorandum is on file from Robert Farmer, P.E., supervisor of the Drinking
Water Unit, which states that the project is not recommended for approval as a
noncommunity public water supply. This is based on the distance from the
proposed on-site sewage disposal system to the well and the shallow depth of the
well. The memorandum also notes that recent water analyses from nearby private
wells show a general trend of elevated nitrates with some traces of ammonia,
indicating possible sewage impacts to the groundwater. The memo also notes that
there is a plume of contamination from MTBE south of this project.
12. A water analysis from a test well on the site showed the water met drinking water
standards, although there was a trace of ammonia found.
13. A letter is on file from the Town of Southold Planning Office that states that the
town did not have a site plan application pending and that in their opinion the site
and location of the proposed use was insufficient to support the intensity of the
change of use. Mr. Bruno Semon, senior site planner reviewer for the Southold
Town Planning Board also appeared at the hearing to reinforce that position and
to request a coordinated SEQRA review.
14. Two neighboring property owners appeared at the hearing and another forwarded
a letter to the board. All expressed concerns over the impact a business operation
on the site would have on their wells.
Determination
It was a 3 to 0 determination of the Board to deny the request for the variance. The
Board deliberated the facts presented, in accordance with Article 6, Section 760-609 of
the Suffolk County Sanitary Code requirements and concluded the application does not
warrant a variance. The requested variance is from a construction standard that requires a
150' separation distance between a proposed sanitary system and drinking water wells
located on adjacent property and for a shallow well on the subject property that is within
150 feet of the sewage disposal system and must be approved as a noncommunity public

water supply. The application is being denied based on our review of the criteria in
Suffolk County Sanitary Code (Sanitary Code), Section 760-609(A) and the potential
public health impacts of your application. Specifically, the Board of Review finds that:
· There are shallow wells down gradient from the proposed sewage disposal system.
In accordance with 9760-609A.l.b, granting of the variance would result in the
uses of groundwater as a drinking water supply being impaired, taking into
account the direction of groundwater flow.
· The proposed well is not acceptable as a noncommunity public water supply
because of the proximity to a sewage disposal system and the shallow depth.
Traces of ammonia were found in the test well. In accordance with 9760-
609A.I.e, granting of the variance would adversely affect the design of an
adequate on-site water supply, taking into account depth to groundwater, direction
of groundwater flow and shallow well conditions.
As per 9760-609 of the Sanitary Code, the approval of the variance would not be in
harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Sanitary Code to protect groundwater
and drinking water supplies, surface water and other natural resources, and public health,
safety and welfare.

Re: Rules are made for others, not for me (Ehrlich property, Orient, N.Y.)
Dear Ms. Neville:
I have observed - quite literally, as I live across the street - with incredulity the antics of
Robert Ehrlich in attempting to get his own way regardless of the laws and rules of the
State of New York, County of Suffolk and Town of South old.
The facts, as I understand them, are that Mr. Ehrlich is moving towards establishing a bar
on a property, currently enjQying a residential certificate of occupancy, on the southwest
comer of Village Lane at Main Road in Orient.
It's no secret: the newly constructed bar is visible to any passerby. On the west side of
the property every ancillary structure and fixture has been leveled (violating, I
understand, relevant rules in the process), and every inch of land covered with gravel, to
make room for parking the vehicles of anticipated customers. All this, I understand,
without even applying to the Town Planning Board for a permit for any sort of business
at this location, and in the face of thoughtfully expressed reservations by members of the
Planning Board about the adequacy of parking on the site.
I understand further that Mr. Ehrlich has violated the provisions of the building permit
that he did receive by creating an interior that would support a food service business. For
this, I understand that the Town has issued a stop work order, which, I understand, has
also been ignored.
I understand that the Suffolk County Health Department has recommended against
granting a variance for water and sewer usage to accommodate commercial use on the
site. I also understand that a liquor license that was granted has been suspended pending
review by the New York State Liquor Authority of alleged misstatements in the
application.
Ms. Neville, the pattern of half-truths and taking the offensive demonstrated by the above
behavior reveals a man who believes he is beyond the law, and who is trying to "game
.
.
the system" at all levels. I'm astounded at the manifest, cynical disregard for the rules
and regulations enacted by the legislative and administrative bodies of the State of New
York, which it is the duty of conscientious civil servants to enforce. Is Southold Town
run in accordance with the expressed will of its citizens, or is it the East End version of
Dodge City, where the guy with the most aggressive gun (in modern terms, the biggest
pocket book) runs the place?
By no means am I opposed to land use in accordance with the law and in the best
interests of the community. But if you and your fellow civil servants treasure the
mandate that has been given you by the citizens of this State, I urge you to say, "No," to
Mr. Ehrlich.
Yours truly,

Dear Mrs. Neville,
I wish to convey to you my concern regarding the machinations of Robert Ehrlich,
the owner of a residence adjacent to my home at 200 Village Lane. Mr. Ehrlich met with
members of the Planning Board last year, informally, in his driveway. The Board
members concurred with Mr. Orlowski that the subject property would not support a cafe
or take-out food and beverage establishment. Mr. Orlowski pointed out that there was
insufficient space for ingress and egress of vehicles and for parking. Mr. Orlowski also
spoke of the close proximity of the driveway to a dangerous intersection at the Main
Road, Village Lane, and Youngs Road. Subsequently, Mr. Ehrlich obtained a building
permit to "make interior renovations to a residence." He tore out half of the second floor
to make an atrium, tore out new windows and replaced them with taller examples,
removed walls, installed commercial appliances, cases, and counters. He upgraded the
electrical service enough to power four houses. He removed mature trees along with
boxwood along the western side of his property, removed a garage and scraped the yard
up to our fences and garage and has scattered coarsely crushed fill over the entirety.
Last week Ehrlich sought a variance from the Suffolk County Health Department
in order to move his septic system closer to his new well and away from our well point
and the well point of the small home next door owned by Claudia King Ramone and
Jeffrey King. The county recommended against granting this variance. Presumably this
recommendation was because of the negative impact on the quality of the drinking water
of the surrounding neighbors.
Immediately after removing the large trees, which had provided a natural sound
buffer, the decibel level in our yard spiked due to traffic noises from the Main Road.
Imagine what our quality of life would be if, as his application to the State Liquor
Authority stated, he was allowed to play "canned" and live music at this site!

scheme. Please help us.

Dear Mr. Costa:
On the above-referenced matter, the Town requests full coordination with the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services in its review of the proposed action. Since the
proposed action is not before the Planning Board or the Zoning Board at this point in
time, the Town requests the opportunity to be involved with the Department of Health
Services' review of this proposed action, including both substance and State
Environmental Quality Review Act considerations.
Towards this end, the Town respectfully requests a complete copy of the SCHDS file
regarding this matter. Finally, it is hoped that any SCHDS action that is taken in this
matter would be conditioned on or subject to required Town reviews under its Codes.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Costa,
In reference to the above and your letter dated June 12,2003 on a Board of Review
meeting for this property. Please consider the items explained below in reviewing this
application.
We have done research on the above listed property and have the following comments:
The subject property has been in use as a private residence. The property owner wishes
to convert the use to a business. At the present time, no site plan application is pending at
the Southold Town Planning Board and a site plan is required per Town Code. The site
and location of the proposed use is insufficient to support the intensified change of use.
On June 24, 2003 the Town of South old Town Building Department notified Robert
Erlich to "Immediately Stop Work affiliated with building permit number 28213z ". See
the attached letter.
According to Town records the building currently has a certificate of occupancy for an
existing single family dwelling.
For additional information on the status of this site plan application, you can contact us
at (631) 765-1938 and speak with Bruno Semon at extension x229 between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

To Whom It May Concern:
We respectfully request that you immediately stop all work affiliated with building
permit #28213, at 22540 Main Road, Orient, NY, SCTM# 18-5-5.
Following a recent inspection of your property and further review of your file, it has
come to our attention that you have gone beyond the scope of what is permitted by the
above referenced permit. As you will recall, the permit was issued for alterations to an
existing single family dwelling, the only use for which you have a certificate of
occupancy in place.
It is apparent that you have changed the scope of work. As a result, you are required to
gain the proper approvals before work can continue. This includes approval from the
Southold Town Planning Board and, depending on the proposed use, possible approval
from the Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals.
Also, we respectfully request that you clean up the construction debris that has been
observed on the above referenced property.
If you do not address these issues in a timely manner, further action will be taken which
may result in the revocation of your permit.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact this office at (631) 765-1802,
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

DearMs~
Thank you for your recent letter regarding the above property. At the present time, no site plan
application is pending at the Southold Town Planning Board.
A preliminary discussion was held at a Work Session on March 4, 2002, and the Members of the
Planning Board, who expressed their concerns to the owner's architect about the shortage of parking
spaces, made a subsequent site visit. However, a formal site plan application was never submitted.
The Planning Department also checked the records of the Southold Town Building Department and
found that two building permits were issued for this property: Permit Number 28213, issued on March 19,
2002, for interior alterations to an existing single-family dwelling, and Permit Number 28748, issued on
September 17, 2002, for the demolition of an accessory garage.
Additionally, an investigation was made by the Southold Town Code Enforcement Officer on November
20, 2002, who photographed commercial-type kitchen appliances being stored within the structure.
For additional information on the status of building activity within the aforesaid structure, you should
speak with Michael Verity (765-1802) or Ed Forrester (765-1809).
Thank you for your interest in this matter.
Very truly yours,

Re: Robert Ehrlich, Orient Coffee Company
Dear Valerie,
I'm enclosing a copy of a letter from the mayor of Sea Cliff about the history of Mr.
Ehrlich's coffee shop in that town; the process sounds all too familiar. I assume that there
is still no official application before the Planning Board (if there is, could you let us know
ASAP?) but as you can see, Mr. Ehrlich appears to think it is fine to go ahead and do
what he wants without permits. I understand that, at a work session, you had encouraged
the Planning Board to send Mr. Ehrlich a letter expressing the problems with what he
intended to do, and I wonder if such a letter was in fact sent, and, if so, whether we might
have a copy? In the meantime, the Liquor Authority has withdrawn his license pending a
hearing on apparently false statements on his application. As you know, it is the strong
feeling of the community that the only appropriate commercial use of this property would
be some kind of office requiring only limited parking and not operating outside of normal
business hours.

Facts About the Sea Cliff
Coffee Shop Application
To The Editor,
On February 6, Mr. Robert Ehrlich
published an "Open Letter" in the local
newspaper in which he discusses his appli-
cation to the Village for a special permit to
operate a coffee shop at 100 Roslyn A v-
enue. The letter contains inaccurate and
misleading statements that must be ad-
dressed and corrected. The following infor-
mation states the facts concerning the cof-
fee shop application.
On November 6, 2001, Mr. Ehrlich
applied foraspecial permit and variances to
operate a coffee shop. This was afterheJJad
converted and renovated the premises to a
coffee shop and put a sign in the window-
all without any Building, Plumbing or Sign
Permits. His application was heard by
the Zoning Board of Appeals three
weeks later on November26,2001. Atthe
hearing, the'ZoningBoard asked Mr. Ehrlich
to submit more accurate and detailed infor-
mation about the proposed operation. This
was provided several weeks later, and the
application was granted on February 26,
2002, exactlv in accordance. wIth Mr.
Ehrlich's requests. Mr. Ehrlich had re-
quested a permit to operate a coffee shop
between the hours of? A.M. and 3 P.M. on
weekdays and 7 A.M. to 12 noon on week-
ends. This is exactlv what was granted bv
theZoningBoard. Contrary to Mr. Ehrlich's
allegation, his attempts to ope~,ate a coffee
shop have obviously not been stymIed by
the village bureaucracy for the past 17
months."
On March 5, 2002,oneweekafterthe
Zoning Board's decision, Mr. Ehrlich filed
another application to operate longer hou~s
and to permit outdoor dining. At approxl-
matelythe sarnetime, he filed an applicatIOn
with the State Liquor Authorityforalicense
to sell beer and wine. At the Zoning Board
hearing held June 18,2002, many residents
were surprised and disturbed to learn that
the family "coffee shop," for parents and
children, might be replaced by a food estab-
lishment that would sell beer and wme,
outside, until] 0:00 p.m. In his letter, Mr.
Ehrlich states that his application for a beer
and wine license had been "withdrawn."
However, the State Liquor Authority re-
ports that his application was denied, not
withdrawn, because he had stated m the
application that all local zoning relief had
been granted when, in fact, it had not.
Information received by the village indi-
cates that the denial is subject to appeal,
and that a license could still be granted.
.
Week of February 13,2003
In his "Open Letter" Mr. Ehrlich states
that he has been asked to provide an Envi-
ronmental Impact Statement because of his
proximity to an "Historic House." The facts
are that the Sea Cliff Planning Board has
asked Mr. Ehrlich to prepare the statement
because the "coffee shop" is completely
surrounded by residential properties -- there
are no buffers -- and two of the surrounding
properties are Landmark structures, one a
house and the other a church. Under the
State Environmental Quality Review Act,
where a proposed business is adjacent to a
landmark building, the environmental study
is required by New York State Law, not Sea
Cliff Village Law, and therefore, must be
provided. In addition, the Planning Board
is concerned because the "coffee shop" is
now proposing to operate 15 hours a day,
seven days a week, with outdoor seating,
outdoor lights and music, and has made
application to sell beer and wine. The vil-
lagehas not stymied Mr. Ehrlich's applica-
tion, but has required him to comply with
the applicable Village and State laws and
regulations.
Mr.Ehrlich's characterization of the
coffee shop as being "located in a free
standing. commercially zoned building with
its own parking lot" does not completely
describe the situation. In 1988, when aprior
owner ofthe property applied to the Zoning
Board to utilize the larger building atthe rear
of the property (a portion of which is in a
Residence Zone) for storage and offices,
the owner agreed that the front building
would not be used for any busine.ss related
to'the service of food, mainly because the
parking area on the property, far from being
a separate area for the "coffee shop" build-
ing, as Mr. Ehrlich suggests, was almost
entirely used by and allocated to the uses
in the rear building. In spite of this condi-
tion, which the owner of the property was
happy to agree to, the Zoning Board, in its
decision of February 26, 2002, granted a
special permit to operate a coffee shop,
including the service of food and coffee,
because it was a minor deviation from the
prior restriction. Mr. Ehrlich's subsequent
requestto expand the use was a sufficiently
greater deviation and violation of the con-
dition to warrant further consideration.
.
The V iIlage has also cooperated with
Mr. Ehrlich as -regards the certificate of
occupancy (the permission to use the prop-
erty as a coffee shop). The Zoning Board
decision of February 26, 2002 required spe-
cific modifications to the property before a
permanent certificate of occupancy could
be granted. A temporary certificate of oc-
cupancy was granted by the Building De-
partment pending completion of the modi-
fications and compliance with the condi-
tions. Even though all of these conditions
have still not been complied with, in an
effort to cooperate with Mr. Ehrlich, the
temporary certificate of occupancy has been
extended four times, the latest being until
March 31, 2003. These extensions have
avoided the necessity of closing the coffee
shop.
I sincerely hope that the facts regard-
'ing the "coffee shop," CJS- stated in this
letter, have given thereaderaclearerunder-
standing of the true nature of the applica-
tion. The processing of certain applica-
tions can sometimes be difficult, and appli-
cants can resent having to comply with the
law, both substantive and procedural; but
these laws exist for the protection of all
village residents and businesses, and com-
pliance with such laws is necessary to pro-
tect the orderly, correct and reasonable
development of property and the village as
a whole.

MEMO
To: The Planning Board, Bennet Orlowski, President
From: Southold Citizens for Safe Roads, Freddie Wachsberger, Vice President
Orient Association, Anne Hopkins, President
Re: Proposed Coffee House, Ehrlich property, Village Lane, Orient
November 25, 2002
Mr. Orlowski et al:
We are enclosing copies of a presentation previously made to the Town Board, and
copies of most of the 250+ signatures to a petition urging denial of any permits for a
bar/coffee house planned by Robert Ehrlich for the comer of Village Lane in Orient. The
Orient commlln;ry is very concerned because Mr. Ehrlich has continued to pursue this
project, installing a commercial kitchen and, we understand, attempting to purchase an
adjoining property, presumably for parking. This adjoining property is of course not
commercially zoned, and it has been agreed that the zoning of the comer property was an
error. Even having taken down the garage of the comer property, which was done without
permission from the building department, there is not enough room to create a parking
barrier as per zoning requirements.
But legal issues apart, this is simply no place for a bar/cafe, operating from 7 a.m to
10:30 p.m, with live and piped-in entertainment, as per his submission to the state liquor
authority. This is a quiet residential neighborhood, the site is the introduction to the
historic district, the property has never been used as other than a private residence.
We urge you to take all necessary steps to disapprove this project.

From: Freddie Wachsberger, Vice President of Southold Citizens for Safe Roads
Re: Robert Ehrlich property, Coffee House application
Councilmen:
I would like to present the Town Board with copies of approximately 250 petitions from
Orient residents to the New York State Liquor Authority, requesting the rescinding of the
license which was issued to Mr. Ehrlich on April 30 of this year for a coffee-house on the
comer of Village Lane and the Main Road. We have been advised that the authority is
investigating the award of that license; it would appear that it was awarded under the
misapprehension, perllaps created by the applicant, that there was already a business on
that site. In fact, the only current certificate of occupancy is residential, as the site has
never been commercislly used. But ifplanning approval is issued for the proposed
restaurant/cafe, one can assume that the liquor authority would see no reason for not
reinstating the license. On behalf of the Orient Association, Southold Citizens for Safe
Roads, and the 250 members of the Orient community who have objected in writing to
having a caf61restaurant at this location, we ask the Town Board, Planning Board, and
Zoning Board of Appeals to disapprove any such proposal.
There have been many letters written to you and to the Planning Board, listing the
reasons why this site is inappropriate for the kind of operation Mr. Ehrlich proposes: a
restaurant which would seat 30, operate seven days a week from 7 :00 am to 10:30 pm,
and have live and piped-in entertainment. The reasons are succinctly stated in the
petition: it would permit an intrusion into a quiet residential neighborhood, at a site with
no previous commercisl occupancy, with inadequate parking and on a dangerous
inter~n.
On the advice of the Planning Board, you, the Town Board, advised the Liquor Authority
that you neither approved nor disapproved the license. But Mr. Ehrlich did not then, md
still does not (at least last I checked) have an official application before the Planning
Board. The fact that you took no position must suggest to the Authority that you are
unconcerned. We urge you to support the residents of Village Lane and the Orient
community by advising the Authority that you do not in fact approve of this license.
We further urge the Planning Board and ZBA, if this proposal should come before them,
to disapprove the dispensing of alcohol, which is admissable by special exception only.
Mr. Ehrlich has continued to develop the property for his stated purpose, most recently
tearing down the garage md scraping the ground clear to his west and south property
lines, presumably to create more parking; there is every suggestion that he intends to
push this project down the throats of the community. We urge all relevant Southold
Town boards to reject this proposal within the zoning laws of the Town.
Further, we ask you to revisit the zoning of this site, for which the description of
"General Business District is entirely inappropriate.

RE:
Ehrlich Property, Main Road Orient
I became involved in an Enforcement action in mid August 2002. A complaint
was received that a garage was demolished on the property without a permit. An
investigation indicated that, indeed, a violation had been committed. An
appearance ticket was immediately issued, the defendant pled guilty and paid a
fine. Subsequent to that a permit was issued for the demolition.
During the investigation it was determined that a permit had been issued for
renovation to an existing one family dwelling and the normal course of
inspections was being performed by the Building Dept. Upon my inspection I
observed "commercial type" kitchen appliances being stored within the structure,
waiting to be installed. Specifically, stainless steel storage racks, freezer, ice
machine, sink and prep counters. I took a photo and advised the Building
Inspector. I have no knowledge of any further action taken.

Re. Ehrlich Property, Main Road and Village Lane, Orient
Dear Mr. Latham:
Several times I have addressed the inappropriateness of the proposed coffee
shoplwhatever directly across Main Road from my house. I know that you as an
Orienter must also be horrified at the prospect.
In the past I have written Mr. Bennett Orlowski Jr., but I understand that he has
recently had health problems; so I am writing to you to pass my comments on to
him and the rest of the Planning Board. I will not repeat the many arguments that
the community has nearly unanimously put forth against this proposal.
As you no doubt know, construction continues almost daily on the project; most
recently several dumpsters have been filled and hauled off, new windows have
been put in, and what seems like major commercial equipment for preparing
food/beverages has already been moved in. How is it that this "renovation" has
not yet been stopped by the Town? As we logically know, it is much easier to
prevent things from happening by acting pro-actively than to correct a bad
situation once it has taken hold. Mr. Ehrlich could very likely open his
establishment in the face of Town and hamlet opposition. What then can the
Town do? This is not an unheard of scenario in Southold.
I have recently e-mailed Josh Horton that under previous administrations at Town
Hall the rich were protected or exempted or waivered while the common man had
to go through all the hurdles, often to be denied even simple variances. Why has
the Town not yet, since Ehrlich's proposal's inception last March, allowed this
outsider to continue a project reprehensible to locals?
.
.
In line with my thinking, let me paraphrase FOR; he said that a country is judged
not by how many rich and powerful people it produces but by how it takes care of
the ordinary guy. I am that ordinary guy on a teacher's pension, all my savings
tied up in my home, whose property value would be halved if this is allowed to go
through. And my neighbors in this residential historic district would have similar
economic repercussions. As the Town Hall meeting made abundantly clear last
Thursday night, Josh Horton was right to insist that citizens' demands be heard.
From my perspective, it seems that no one at Town Hall has taken an initiative to
level with this man, not the Planning Board, not the Zoning Board of Appeals, not
the Building Dept., not the Health Dept., not the Town Board, not the supervisor.
The b~ck ~nJ1ot be passed from office to office. You need to make a concerted
effort, all yoot powers unified against this. This must be stopped NOW.
Thank you for your time and support.
Yours truly,
E-_~C). ~cf.

An open letter
Dear Mr. Orlowski and the members of the Town of South old Planning Board,
Since hearing and reading the comments of others. We have become more concerned and
distressed over Mr. Ehrlich and his plans for his Main Road property.
A few points that we feel have some importance to us and will affect the quality of life at
our pre-existing structure, 200 Village Lane:
1) Impact on our well water by the increased commercialization of the property
belonging to Mr. Ehrlich, because of the proximity of our point to his sanitary/waste
system.
2) We have a pre-existing structure that is a foot or so from our mutual property
line on two sides. How will we be able to maintain our pre-existing structure with his
parking lot and commercial property abuts?
3) His arrangement for the removal of rubbish/trash and food waste from the ever
so close proximity of our pre-existing structure and property. We foresee the possibility
of a dumpster under the windows of our pre-existing structure.
4) A concern about damage to our pre-existing structure from his customers
parking in his parking area either physical or lets say, even graphic damage applied to our
structure by his customers. Will he take responsibility for the damage caused by his
clientele?
5) Fume intrusion. This intrusion offumes could be a future health concern. Our
skylights and windows, in our pre-existing structure open in close proximity to his
parking and commercial enterprise.
6) Noise emitted from his business in the normal course of its operation. Since we
have windows and skylights in close proximity to his commercial enterprise, the effect of
his operation will certainly impact negatively on our quality of life at 200 Village Lane.
7) Road safety issues on busy Main Road and also the intersection of Village
Lane. Parking on the shoulders ofthe Main Road and curbside on Village Lane and its
impact on safety.
8) Signage, what about Mr. Ehrlich adding one more sign in the vicinity of the
intersection. Or, in the future, what if some neon in a window or two? What happens if
the lights are of the flashing kind, if not by him, but by whom ever follows? How about
advertising pennants and an umbrella or two with advertising slogans?
~
-
.
We are sure some of you on the planning board may disagree with what we have put
forward. However, we believe that your decision will impact directly on the value of our
property and as well as our quality of life.
Above all, we believe and we would like to think many neighbors may believe in our
rights to do with what we want with our property. After all, it is ours, and what is legally
within our bounds we should be able to do. But we do feel, however, Mr. Ehrlich is
destroying or chipping away at the "natural charm" of Orient with his plans to capitalize
on that charm at the portal of the busy Village Lane and the Main Road.
Think ahead to the future use of this property, if not by Mr. Ehrlich, but by what could
follow in his wake.
We have read some of the comments by others about less intense use of the property and
we would tend to agree with them, but Mr. Ehrlich is the owner and we feel that he is
determined to commercialize and to capitalize on the entrance to Village Lane regardless
of the impact on others. The decision is yours, to erode some of the natural charm in
SouthoId Town by giving the green light to Mr. Ehrlich or showing some sympathy for
the natural charm of Orient as well as SouthoId Town for the future.
Sincerely,
~.~

~r,
Dear Members of the Southold Town Planning Board,
I urge you to prevent the property on the Southwest corner of the intersection
of Main Road and Village Lane in Orient from becoming a gathering place in the
form of a coffee shop or other business that would generate car traffic. I
especially urge you to prevent any such establishment from obtaining a license to
serve liquor. I list the reasons for my request:
:: o!'thold Town
f1lanning Board
1) The Site and its Traffic Problems
The building for which the coffee house is proposed has been used as a
residence within local memory, and is surrounded by residences. It is on one
corner of the intersection of Main Road and Village Lane, the entrance to the
historic Village of Orient. On the north side of this intersection, where Youngs
Road joins the Main Road, is the historic Buttonwood Tree with its plaque stating
the tree stood on this site when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Opposite The Buttonwood Tree is a memorial to the local residents who died in
the Civil War, referred to here as The War of the Rebellion. The family names of
the dead sound familiar. These names can be found in the local telephone
directory, some with addresses on Village Lane. The four residences on the four
corners of this intersection, including the one proposed as a site for the coffee
shop, are lovely nineteenth century homes. Some have stately hedges. One has a
magnificent old weeping beech. The owners of the three residences on opposite
corners to the proposed coffee shop are all quiet people, respectful of the history
to which they have become custodians. Nearby is a lovely church with a tall white
steeple, and the local grade school. Village Lane runs south from this monument,
through the hamlet of Orient, bordered all along by eighteenth- and nineteenth-
century homes. This is a quiet, historic street.
The intersection is busy once each hour when the westbound traffic from the
Cross Sound Ferry passes by, and then turning out of Village Lane or out of
Youngs Road onto the Main Road becomes difficult. The site proposed for the
coffee shop is on the southwest corner ofthis intersection and does not have
adequate parking for a business that would generate car traffic. Clients would
have to park in the bicycle lanes that border the Main Road, which would cause
sightline difficulty for drivers trying to turn onto the Main Road. It is an accident
~
. .
. .
2
As part of his proposal, Mr. Ehrlich states that the business hours will be from
7 AM to 10:30 PM with piped in and live music. This will forever change the
nature ofthis quiet historic hamlet.
Please do not let this happen!
2) The Proposal
In all matters, we residents of Orient have been told different and varying
information about the nature of this proposal, and the owner refused to attend a
meeting of the Orient Association to which he had been invited. As I understand
it, different plans for the same site have been filed with the Building Department
and with the Planning Board. One plan indicates renovations for a single family
dwelling, one plan indicates a public dining facility. Is this true? If it is, how is
this possible? I also understand that the current C. of O. is residential. If this is
so, how was a liquor license granted? Please look into this.
3) Public Hearing for Liquor License
Shouldn't there have been a public hearing before a liquor license was granted?
4) This is YOUR WATCH
Please do not let this terrible change occur under your watch. This entrance to
Village Lane and to the hamlet of Orient is a unique historic site, one ofthe few
still existing in New York State. Allowing a business that generates car traffic will
forever alter the quality of life in Orient. Allowing a liquor license to be granted to
this property will forever destroy the nature of this intersection. The owner may
claim he has put a lot of money into renovating this property to convert it into a
public space, but what about the owners ofthe other three homes on the
intersection who have put their life-savings into their homes and had believed
they would live here in peace and quiet?
There are many businesses that would be suitable for this location if it is indeed
destined to become a commercial site. A lawyer's office, or accountant's office, or
doctor's office, even a bed and breakfast would be fine and not intrusive. They
would not generate car traffic and would not be noisy. The Candy Man has been a
fine quiet neighbor to the residences bordering it. It is not open late and does not
have music, and only a few cars come and go. More importantly, it is not on a
dangerous intersection.
THIS IS YOUR WATCH! Please do not be the one to destroy something unique
and beautiful. Please go down in history as a fighter for the peace and quiet and
safety of the residents under your jurisdiction.
Thank You.
Sincerely
c1\;t'b,~"

Dear Members of the Planning Board,
This concerns a Mr. Robert Ehrlich's proposal to open a coffee shop at the corner of Village
Lane and Route 25 in Orient; a location heavily trafficked by anxious ferry users on the Route 25
part and by local pedestrians (mostly children) on Village Lane. It is a location with no previous
commercial occupancy and with inadequate to negligible off-road parking capabilities.
1 do not fully understand the politics and legalities involved herein but I am quite sure Mr.
Ehrlich is more concerned about his own financial well-being than he is about his pmject being
an " asset to the community", I suppose his similar venture in SeaCliff, which he opened after a
year of wrangling for pennits, was for the good of that community also. A regular Boy Scout.
And since when does having a liquor license, which was apparently not part of the original
application...one thing at a time (kind oflike McDonald's and the drive-through window), do
anything to enhance the community?
If you have done an on-site inspection of this property you know how close it is to the
elementary school and how fast the traffic goes by there on any given day. I have personally
observed ferry traffic totally disregard the crossing guard and continue on their way as children
were crossing the street. An added distraction in that area could prove disastrous.
If you haven't seen this location I would beg of you to do so. I know legally your hands must be
somewhat tied but this prostituting of our communities has got to stop somewhere and it is in
your power to curtail such "enterprises". Step out of the car. Walk around. "Feel" the
community, If you lived there, would you want this to be introduced into your neighborhood?
Please, please, please do what you can to discourage these "do-gooders" who are attracted to our
area because it is so peaceful and then decide it should be changed. (Or do they really want to
keep it as they first "discovered"it?).
'Though I live in Cutchogue, my children spent all their summers in Orient. My daughter, my
grandsons, my in-laws currently live there, I have a very valid concem about this "coffee shop".

Dear Sirs,
I reside on Village Lane in Orient, and am writing to express my strong opposition
to the plans o~ Orient Coffee Compa~lnc4 to open a restaurant/saloon in
the Victorian house standing a the entrance to our lovely village.
If this residential home is to be used for commercial purposes, it is imperative that
it be a business that would generate little traffic-such as a professional office.
With little parking space on the property, the customers of the restaurant/saloon
will park up and down the Main Road and Village Lane, further complicating a
dangerous intersection. The hourly congestion of ferry traffic will be even more
dangerous with cars parked on the shoulders of the Main Road. This will
undoubtedly result in deadly traffic accidents.
Another argument against this particular commercial venture is that a busy
restaurant/saloon will forever destroy the tranquility of the beautiful entrance to
our village. I feel that this is a compelling reason to resist Mr. Ehrlich's scheme. To
satisty his greed the citizens of Orient will forever lose the peace and quiet that
greet us as we turn off the Main Road onto Village Lane. Many people reside
near Mr. Ehrlich's property, and their peace will be frequently disturbed by loud
drunks walking up and down Village Lane and the Main Road looking for their
cars. A noisy coffee house/saloon, with rnusic into the night, will destroy the
character of Orient, one of the beautiful and picturesque villages of Long Island.
I urge you to help the citizens of Orient as we attempt to prevent this travesty.
Those of us who love Orient are constantly battling to protect its special nature.
Please help us.

Re. Ehrlich Property (Orient Coffee Co., Inc.), Village Ln. and Main Rd., Orient
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
The Orient Association meeting at Poquatuck Hall here three Saturdays ago was
packed to overflowing. The consensus of over 100 attending was unanimously
aaainst a cafe, club, bar at this very inappropriate location. Curiously there was
not one person who spoke for the proposal; even Mr. Ehrlich himself did not
show up, though the meeting was specifically called to allow him a forum in the
community, which he wants to serve.
Orient has always been resistant to change. We applaud diversity and openly
discuss issues which divide the hamlet. In my twenty-some years here, I have
not known any issue, except perhaps the ferry traffic, that has so galvanized the
community AGAINST something.
Yet despite no known approved plans, except for renovation to a single family
dwelling, it seems Mr. Ehrlich continues to pour tens of thousands of dollars into
his project: contractor, plumber, electrician, mason, landscaper, tree remover
have all been seen at the property. These people often work feverishly from early
morn to dusk, sometimes on Saturdays.
One day I counted nine trucks, three in the driveway, three illegally parked on
Village Lane and another three on Main Road, the vehicles straddling the bike
route and the sidewalk. Is this the picture, without adequate parking, of future use
by customers as well?
We in the hamlet fear that because the Town of Southold has not taken an
organized stand against this "Coffee House" project, Mr. Ehrlich will continue
work, then claim economic hardship when challenged after the fact. Southold in
the past has leveled fines against individuals proceeding without appropriate
permits. The owners gladly pay up and carry on with their endeavors. Let this
NOT be the case with Mr. Ehrlich's so protested plan. When I spoke to Mr. Mike
Verity in the Building Dept. recently, he admitted to me that the Town has had
problems in this regard. He said helit was aware the problem and would work

assiduously to prevent abuse in the future. At least two commercial enterprises
reportedly recently went this route, basically thwarting regulations.
You know my many objections from my previous letter to you and The Suffolk
Times, and from statements which I, along with others, made before the Town
Board. If I object to a cafe, I more strongly am offended by granting him a liquor
license. The Police Blotter of the local newspaper reports more and more OWl's
weekly. We do not need yet another dispenser of liquor where drivers can
become potential menaces, there already being over ten places to buy a drink in
this thin, short corridor between the ferry and the Greenport turn-off.
Ehrlich's intersection is the keystone to the historic district of our hamlet. It is
acknowledged to be a dangerous configuration of roads where speed limits are
regularly violated, resulting in frequent accidents. It is within shouting distance of
our school and church and whispering distance of the monument and
buttonwood tree. It is decidedly residential in character, though by some fluke of
Town oversight or lack offoresight, this parcel was zoned commercial. Since
there is no on street parking, we guess customers will park, as the workers have,
on the sidewalk and in the bike lane. Even if Mr. Ehrlich leveled his property, he
could not have the necessary spaces to provide safe access and exit into such a
busy corner. To allow this would be asking for serious accidents.
There is an issue which has not been addressed in all this: the preservation of
the rights of the individual residential owner to a peaceful environment where his
investment can grow. Take my case, for example. I recently retired on a
teacher's pension. I have personally worked on my house and garden for twenty-
one years, bringing it from a derelict handyman special to quite a lovely property.
It has even been on the Oysterponds Historical Society's house tour. All of my
life's savings have gone into it. Other neighboring homeowners and I are now
threatened by a newcomer whose establishment would halve our investments'
values. A strong property rights lobby exists in South old Town, but is more often
invoked for commercial than residential owners.
Please listen to the near-unanimous voice of Orient rather than to the business
interests of one newcomer. Take a strong stand and stick with it. Do not allow
this property to become a future thorn to Orient's conservative citizenry. We have
chosen to be here because it is NOT the Hamptons and does not have trendy
establishments. We want to preserve our quiet rural character and not be
antagonized by further noise, traffic, signs, lighting, music.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Members of the Planning Board,
Except for the serious problem of the Ferry traffic, the
intersection of Main Road and Village Lane is a quiet and
peaceful entrance to the vi llage of Ori ent. Wi th the
venerable Buttonwood Tree, the lovingly tended War Memorial,
the magnificent weeping beech, the stately hedges, the four
handsome residences, and the graceful whi te church steeple,
it is also a beautiful entrance to the village. The property
on the south-west corner is zoned "commercial". The bottom
line is, regardless if someone has the legal right to do so,
WHY would someone want to destroy something quiet, peaceful,
and beautiful?
But just what are the legal rights here? Doesn't parking,
proximi ty to church and school, proximi ty to residences, and
the configuration of the road itself figure into this?
If the property must be used commercially, there are
many possible usages that would not adversely affect the
nature of the site. Any business that would not significantly
increase traffic, that would not generate noise from large
wroups of people or from music, that would not be open in the
evenings would be appropriate to the site. A lawyer's office,
doctor's office, or accountant's office, for example. A bed
and breakfast wi th no more than three rental rooms, so that
there would never be more than three cars at a time using the
site would be appropriate.
No business that generates continuing traffic in-and-out,
no business that would result in cars parked on Main Road or
on Village Lane, no business that would encourage groups of
people to gather, no bus iness that would be noi sy, and
certainly no business that serves alcohol would be appropriate
to the site.
I urge

Dear Mr. Orlowski:
I write to urge the Planning Board not to endorse the application of the
Orient Coffee Company (OCC) for a Liquor License. Much militates against
the opening of a business on that corner, especially one that dispenses
alcohol. In the March 21st edition of "The Suffolk Times" Ritchie Latham
stated that the current zoning of that parcel is inappropriate, but the
matter had somehow "slipped through." I heartily agree that the zoning is
inappropriate and how much more inappropriate if a liquor license is
approved.
So what's wrong with a liquor license for the OCC, aside from the
silliness of calling liquor coffee?
>Parking is a problem. Even if OCC made an arrangement with the
Candyman, cars pulling in and out of that area would exacerbate the
problem of traffic in Orient instead of ameliorating it.
>Location is wrong for the proposed use. The other corners at the
entrance to Village Lane are graced with lovely historic homes.
Tossing a bar into their midst does no service to the community.
Children with bikes, skateboards, and in-line skates often gather
there. Families walk to the beach at end of Youngs Road and cross
the Main Road there. Almost all local residents, whether approach-
ing the Post Office or Country Store or returning to homes in the
.
.
village, must turn there.
> Traffic impacts this location. The Planning Board is no stranger
to the problems caused by the ferry traffic in Orient. The problem
is not just the increasing quantity, but the unique nature of the
traffic. Drivers speed to make their ferry: they cross the
double yellow line, they dangerously tailgate, they ignore the
school 30 mph flashing light, and they are blinded at night by
westbound ferry traffic. Add now the oee customer who has
drunk a few beers, a couple of glasses of wine...and you have some
very serious consequences to consider.
> The process appears duplicitious. From the start, information
concerning the oee seemed to be not quite right. First, a
coffee house was envisioned with a pat on the back from the
Planning Board Chair and a little admonition about taking care of
the parking. Then, suddenly, it wouldn't be a coffee house after
all with seating and amenities but a place where people would come
to buy coffee and take it out. Now, it turns out that the oee is not
for coffee but for alcohol. What is a citizen to think?
I ask the Planning Board to keep carefully in mind the historic fabric of
Orient and its tradition of quiet, unostentatious living. If its citizens
had wished it to become a community of bustling business, they would
have turned their energy and resources to its creation a long time ago.
Thank you for your attention.

Dear Mr. Gioffre:
I am sending you the Town Board resolution with regard to the Orient Coffee Company Inc. Please do not
construe this resolution as an approvaL This proposed business has created much controversy at Town Board
meetings recently. The residents of Orient are very concerned. The Main Road (NYS Route 25) is a two lane
highway through very rural residential neighborhoods. The Cross Sound Ferry Company operates ferries on the hour
going to and from New London, Connecticut carrying hundreds of cars and passengers on a daily basis, and also
operates a high-speed Jet-Boat carrying passengers to the casinos in Connecticut. As a result the Main Road is a
very heavily traveled congested highway at times. Very often there are people breaking the speed limit in an effort
to not miss a boat reservation. The Orient Coffee Company property is a small parcel with very limited parking area
and poor iogress and egress off the highway. There is great concern over the possibility of fatal accidents as a result
of cars entering and exiting onto the roadway at this location.
The Southold Town Planning Board is currently reviewing this as a pre-submission conference for a site
plan application which is needed in order for them to operate their business. The Orient Coffee Company has not
submitted an actual application for site plan approval yet. Therefore, the issuance of a liquor license is premature. In
a telephone conversation today you informed me that a license has already been issued. With this letter I am asking
for an administrative review of your actions. I look forward to your response. I will be contacting you within two
weeks to follow up on your review of this matter.
Very truly yours,

Planning Board
Dear Mr. Orlowski
This is an open letter to alert you and the Planning Board to what our family and
several other neighbors on Village Lane, Orient, consider as very ominous developments
considering the property on the south/west corner of Village Lane (2250 Main Road)
In the Legal Notices of Suffolk Life of April 17, in very small print, I read that an
"Orient Coffee Company Inc." is applying for license for liquor, wine and beer.. ..to sell
same at retail at a restaurant". This is apparently the third metamorphosis of a venture of
which I first leamed from a March 7 Suffolk Times article where it was described as a l\
application by a Mr. Ehrlich for a small "IS-seat cafe.. ..a social thing for the
community", with live music. The property itself was described as a "two story house",
even though it has a third floor, a large attic with normal size windows. The evident
question was: so much space for a IS-seat cafe?
That initial application was strongly opposed by Village Lane homeowners at the
Town Board meeting a few weeks ago. Mr. Ehrlich then applied for a take-out license for
the same location (a McDonald - like venture for the landmark Village Lane?). The
present third application, no longer speaks of a small cafe "a social thing for the
community", but squarely calls it a restaurant. Many Orient residents might have
overlooked the Legal Notice of last week as the applicant is listed only as the Orient
.
.
.
Coffee Company Inc. and the address on Main Road does not show that it is on the comer
of Village Lane.
The traffic problems at that location which even a modest cafe would cause were
already described in the March 14 Suffolk Times letter to the editor by Mr. Edwin Blesch
jr., owner of a private home across the Main Road from the proposed Cafe. Of course the
take-out activity and, in addition, a restaurant with a liquor license would multiply the
traffic problems. I understand that more recently the Planning Board refused the
application because of lack of parking space. There is indeed no parking on the main
road, while Village Lane is only 30ft wide instead of the regulatory SOft, and it is used for
parking by the local residents.
The decision of the Planning Board and criticism by the neighbors did not deter
the owner from retaining and architect; a large dumpster full of debris on the side of the
house seems to indicate that the planned conversion is in full swing. We have seen
recently how the parking space restrictions were overcome by the Connecticut Ferry, and
Orient residents are suffering form the resulting multiple increase in traffic. I would like
to propose that the quality of life and the wishes of the neighborhood should be taken as
the most important consideration in refusing the permit for an establishment which
would be detrimental to the local environment and to the values of the properties: because
of its unique unspoiled architectural character Orient is listed since 1976 in The National
Register of Historic places.
Since 1968 we own a house on Village Lane; it is our legal and voting residence
for a family of four. During that time we witnessed a number of transgressions of the
planning rules and regulations. A case in point was a modest Bed and Breakfast in the
neighboring picturesque village, which speedily metamorphosed into a motel, I
understand without the necessary permits, and then successfully claimed hardship when
ordered to tear the new addition down. The owners of the Main Road/Village Lane
property have many possibilities to utilize commercially their house which was for many
years a private residence; a small B&B not requiring much parking, or a lawyer's,
doctor's, or accountant's office, or a facility for any of the paramedical professions such
as physiotherapy could avoid the traffic, parking and noise problems.
.
.
.
This noise problem leads to the proposed "live music" venue. We live seven
houses down from the Main Road and a much longer distance from the Orient Yacht
Club, yet on the rare nights when there is music at the Yacht Club we hear it quite
distinctly in our home: imagine having to listen to the near by live music every night?
A number of years ago there was a attempt to destroy the uniqueness of Village Lane: A
large tract of land between the houses on Village Lane and Tabor Road to the east was
acquired for a subdivision and the new owner proposed to build a road which would have
opened into Village Lane, and a parking lot opposite the Country Store. A protest letter
signed by about 300 Oreinters prevented the developer from carrying out his project;
shortly there-after he left Orient. At that time we recieved great support from the then
Chairman of the Planning Board, the much regretted John Wickham. This time we hope
for your and the planning boards help.
I am sending a copy of this letter with request for publication to The Suffolk
Times and to interested parties.

Mr. Bennett Orlowski, Chairman
Planning Board
Town of Southold
P.O. Box 1179,53095 Main Road
Southold, NY 11971
Dear Mr. Orlowski and Members of the Planning Board,
I'm writing to you concerning the coffeehouse/take-out business that is proposed for the house
now owned by Robert Ehrlich on the southwest corner of Village Lane and the Main Road.
The intersection of the Main Road and Village Lane from the south and Young's Road from the
north is already busy and problematic. Cars approaching from the west, many rushing to make a
ferry, speed around the curve past Village Lane. Ferry traffic approaches in a steady, long line
from the east that sometimes means waiting up to fifteen minutes to cross or to make a left turn.
The Candyman and Oysterponds Lane, both west of Village Lane, contribute to the problem as
well. Another business such as the proposed coffeehouse or take-out restaurant, with cars
pulling in and out (and with inadequate parking), would significantly increase the congestion and
confusion at this corner for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians.
As a parent, I am especially concerned about the dangers the increased traffic will cause to the
many children who cross the Main Road from this very corner (where the crosswalk is), on foot
and on bicycles, on their way to and from the school, the playground, beaches, the Country
Store, the Ice Cream Parlor, and the Orient Yacht Club.
Our two sons were 6 and 8 years old when we first came to Orient. For them, a sense of safety,
offreedom-to ride bikes or walk around the village, to visit friends, to enjoy the out-of-doors,
to make the rounds of ice cream, sailing, swimming, basketball- has been part of Orient's
essential character. It's imperative that Southold town join Orient in preserving Orient's
residential nature, its quiet accessibility, and its safety.
While I understand that the Ehrlich house is zoned commercial, 1 urge the Planning Board to
make sure that an appropriate business-one without noise or increased traffic-is the only
business allowed.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this important matter.
Sincerely yours,
I~-v-nl~

.. t ;i.:.: ,. :Q .""".,
Dear Chairman Orlowski
and Members of the Planning Board,
I am writing to you to express my concern about the proposals
for coffee-shop and/or food take-out business in the existing
home on the corner lot at the intersection of Main Road and
Village Lane in Orient.
My first concern is about the increase in traffic activity
at what is already a problematic intersection. My second concern
is about noise in a residential area.
Addressing the traffic problem:
Because the speed limit of 40mph is not enforced east of
the causeway, where the speed 1 imi t is 55mph, many dr i vers
pass this intersection at 55mph, even though the speed limit
is reduced to 30mph for the school just east of the intersection.
When the long line of westbound Ferry traffic is passing through,
the situation is already dangerous for cars exiting Village Lane
with the intention of turning west, and for cars exiting Youngs
Road with the intention of turning west or east. In summer,
there is the additional concern for pedestrians and bic,clists.
The bike lane is well-used (as it should be), and many Orient
residents walk to the Sound beach at the end of Youngs Road
and must cross the Main Road at the buttonwood tree. Even now,
with the un-enforced 40m.,h speed limit and the terrible ferry
traffic, not only can it take fifteen minutes for a driver to
make a turn or for a pedestrian to cross Main Road, it is
also a dangerous intersection because westbound drivers pass
on the right when a car is stopped waiting to turn into
Village Lane. Cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians exiting Youngs
Road risk injury from speedin;j westbound traffic veering
close to the buttonwood tree to pass a turning car.
By addin;j continual traffic pulling into and out of a
parking lot so close to the intersection, ~he risk factor and
the inconvenience factor are raised dramatically. This is even
more so at night, when visibility around the curve Just west
of the property is poor. The only other commerci al property,
the Candyman, is not open at night and being Just that much
west of the intersection does not pose the same problem.
Additional commercial traffic also impacts on the parking
problem. With such a small proposed parking lot, drivers will
ABSOLUTELY park in the bike lanes and on Village Lane. We
know this from what happens when there is a yard sale. This
overflow parking is dangerous on the Main Road and impacts on
the yuiet residential nature of narrow Village Lane.
.
.
2
Addressing the noise problem:
All the neighboring properties are homes. The three other
corners of the intersection are homes; the two abutting
properties 011 Village Lane are homes. The Candyman is a (,juiet
business. A coffee shop with entertainment poses a serious
threat to the quiet residential nature of the neighborhood.
I live on che opposite side of Villaye Lane, two houses
down, and I can assert that the previous owner of the propert,Y'
had a dog that barked almost c:ontinually, day and niyht, and
this was a terrible disturbance to me even though I am that
far from the property. I would absolutely hear music from
that property, especialli' on summer nights when all the
windows are open.
There are many businesses that would not pose either a
traffic or noise problem. Just a few examples would be;
Doctor's office, lawyer's office, architect's office,
accountant's office, bed and breakfast, summer rental, ill
other words, any business that would have onlx one or two
cl ients at a time, one or two cars parked at any olle time,
not be open at night or 011 weekends or at least not on Sunday,
would not be a place for congregacion of large groups of
people, and not have music or entertainment.
Anyolle moving into a community ought to familiarize
herself or himself with the special nature of her or his new
property and be creative enouyh and respectful ellou~h to come
up wi th a usag e that recogn i zes and embrac:es that spec i al
nature rather than abuses it.
Si ncerely',
Clyde Wachsberger

We are writing to you to express our alarm regarding the proposed Coffee Shop-now
Take-Out Business on the corner of the Main Road and Village Lane in Orient
As you are aware most of Orient Village is non-conforming pre-existing and our
garage is about one foot inside of our property line abutting the property recently
purchased by Mr, Ehrlich, If approval is granted for this particular use we are convinced
that the value of our historic house will be reduced. We fear that running engines,
continuously opening and closing of car doors, car alarms potentially occurring all day -
every day will cause us not to be able to enjoy our small yard in pleasant weather and
force us not to be able to open our windows because of the din during the summer
months. A business such as this with the potential for intense use will certainly have a
negative impact on our quality oflife.
We are also concerned about our drinking water since our well point is less than
twenty feet from the property line. The increased use of Mr. Ehrlich's cesspools has the
potential to harm our water supply.
We all should be concerned about the busy ingress and egress of this residential
driveway and it's close proximity to the Village Lane/Young's Road intersection. Traffic
speeds along the Main Road to get to or from the Ferry Dock despite the best efforts of
our police. The posted speed limit in front of this proposed business is forty miles per
hour! The increased potential for serious traffic accidents should be taken into account
With limited parking we are sure to see cars,trailers, and trucks parking along the
shoulder of the road much as they routinely do on the road in Southold. Village Lane-
only thirty-five feet wide has the potential to be use for parking which is difficult now.
While the Ehrlich property is zoned commercial it has always had use as residential
property and we believe the proposed Coffee Shop/Take-Out is inappropriate for this
location. The community is not likely to support this venture and the Historic District of
Orient will be negatively impacted if permission is granted for a business such as this at
this particular site. Would any of you like to have such a commercial endeavor such as
this as close to your home? Would Mr. Ehrlich?
Respectfully,
The Constant Family

Dear Mr. Orlowski:
I have written the enclosed letter to the editor of The Suffolk Times in response to
Gwendolen Groocock's article in the March 7 issue,"Coffee Shop Plan is
Perking." As a courtesy I am sending a copy to you so that the Planning Board
may consider my input in further deliberations. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly,
lj~),~~).
ENC:
Chairman Ben Orlowski and the Southold Town Planning Board should be
reminded of several things before welcoming a proposal for a coffee shop at the
entrance to Orient's historic hamlet. The previous owners reportedly sold to the
new ones because they did not want to raise their children on what they
discovered to be such a busy and dangerous corner, Village lane and Main
Road. , have lived at the same intersection for twenty-one years and have seen
dramatic changes occur here.
Mr. Robert Erlich erroneously claims that 'It's not in the middle of a residential
area." In fact the only commercial property here is the Candyman while the two
other three abutting properties, the three corner residences, and the apartments
in the Brown House are indeed RESIDENTIAl.
This property is at the hub of the landmark hamlet, its monument and
Buttonwood tree, and just a short walk from the school, the Congregational
church, the Fire Department. When the property was zoned mixed commercial
nearly four decades ago, the planners could not have foreseen the increase in
traffic. At ferry time in season, which is now nearly from Easter to Christmas, it
can take drivers from Village lane and Youngs Road twenty minutes waiting to
.
f
gain access to Main Road. The traffic often includes eighteen-wheelers going
much above the posted limits. . ".
Ingress and egress of patrons with cars from the proposed cqffee shop cannot be
onto Village Lane, nor can its overflow parking. That means it must be onto the
Main Road. When the limited number of proposed parking places are full, where
will the remaining go? To the aprons of the Main Road. This would create a
dangerous condition for accidents. Children walk past this location on the way to
school, helped by a crossing guard; the elderly of the community stroll here for
their constitutionals. Bicyclists, skate-boarders, rol/erbladers, joggers; pram-
pushers already compete with the cars. At night the visibility around the curve in
the road makes the situation even more dangerous.,,,
The charm of Orient is that, unlike the Hamptons, it does nofflavetFieglitz and
glamor of trendy commercial venues. Most residents, I suspect, whether here for
generations or recently arrived, want to keep it that way. A precedent such as
this could lead to other enterprises such as a spa, a bar, a video shop. Orient has
a history of fighting encroachments on its rurality.
I happily welcome the new owners to this lovely commUnity. Their property has
had a sad history, and its reconstitution has vastly improved visitors' first
impressions of our hamlet. But I respectfully submit that their location is NOT the
location for any business which relies on heavy automobile access.
Yours truly,

Dear Victor,
Enclosed are some new drawings for the coffeehouse project in Orient. Minor changes in the site
plan include some additional parking up to 9 spaces, including 1 truck space. Changes to the floor
plan include removal of any table service, and provision of service at the counter only.
Because the opening of the project for the summer season is so critical, I would like to be included in
another planning review for Monday, March 18. I will be out of town between March 20 _ 30, and I
do not want to delay progress for the owner. Please call with any questions.
Si"d~

Mrs. Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Clerk

P.O. Box 1179
Southold, NY 11971
Dear Mrs. Neville,
I wish to convey to you my concern regarding the machinations of Robert Ehrlich,
the owner of a residence adjacent to my home at 200 Village Lane. Mr. Ehrlich met with
members of the Planning Board last year, informally, in his driveway. The Board
members concurred with Mr. Orlowski that the subject property would not support a cafe
or take-out food and beverage establishment. Mr. Orlowski pointed out that there was
insufficient space for ingress and egress of vehicles and for parking. Mr. Orlowski also
spoke of the close proximity of the driveway to a dangerous intersection at the Main
Road, Village Lane, and Youngs Road. Subsequently, Mr. Ehrlich obtained a building
permit to "make interior renovations to a residence." He tore out half of the second floor
to make an atrium, tore out new windows and replaced them with taller examples,
removed walls, installed commercial appliances, cases, and counters. He upgraded the
electrical service enough to power four houses. He removed mature trees along with
boxwood along the western side of his property, removed a garage and scraped the yard
up to our fences and garage and has scattered coarsely crushed fill over the entirety.
Last week Ehrlich sought a variance from the Suffolk County Health Department
in order to move his septic system closer to his new well and away from our well point
and the well point of the small home next door owned by Claudia King Ramone and
Jeffrey King. The county recommended against granting this variance. Presumably this
recommendation was because of the negative impact on the quality of the drinking water
of the surrounding neighbors.
Immediately after removing the large trees, which had provided a natural sound
buffer, the decibel level in our yard spiked due to traffic noises from the Main Road.
Imagine what our quality of life would be if, as his application to the State Liquor
Authority stated, he was allowed to play "canned" and live music at this site!
I understand the valid arguments regarding property rights. The property should
not be considered "Hamlet Business" since it is nestled into a residential and historic
neighborhood on three sides. How can the town rezone this property?
What about the rights of our family and our community? Why must we sacrifice
our quality of life and our equity by allowing such an inappropriate use of the property?
The overwhelming majority of our community opposes this project and looks
westward to the Town to protect us and our historic community from this man and this
scheme. Please help us.

permit #28213, at 22540 Main Road, Orient, NY, SCTM# 18-5-5.
Following a recent inspection of your property and further review of your file, it has
come to our attention that you have gone beyond the scope of what is permitted by the
above referenced permit. As you will recall, the permit was issued for alterations to an
existing single family dwelling, the only use for which you have a certificate of
occupancy in place.
It is apparent that you have changed the scope of work. As a result, you are required to
gain the proper approvals before work can continue. This includes approval from the
Southold Town Planning Board and, depending on the proposed use, possible approval
from the Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals.
Also, we respectfully request that you clean up the construction debris that has been
observed on the above referenced property.
If you do not address these issues in a timely marmer, further action will be taken which
may result in the revocation of your permit.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact this office at (631) 765-1802,
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Re: Suffolk op. # 1126712
Re: The Orient Coffee Company, Inc.
Dear Mr. Anderson.
I live on Village Lane, Orient, New York. and I am writing to urge reconsideration
of the unwise. and seemly secret. granting of a liquor license to the Orient
Coffee Company, Inc.
Three reasons for this request:
1) The Orient Coffee Company, Inc. would be located at the junction of the
Main Road and Village Lane, the entrance to the quiet village of Orient. The
traffic is often extremely heavy due to our proximity to the Cross Sound Ferry only
six miles to the east. Since there is almost no parking on the property of the
Orient Coffee Company, customers will park on the shoulder of the Main Road.
causing further difficulties at this already dangerous intersection. Customers
congregating. parking up and down the Main Road and Village Lane, will
undoubtedly lead to traffic fatalities.
2) The Orient Coffee Company, Inc. is planned for a home which has been
residential as long as anyone can remember. In fact the proprietor does not a
commercial certificate of occupancy. How was he granted a liquor license
when he has not yet been granted a commercial certificate of occupancy? Is
this legal?
3) The citizens of Orient are overwhelming opposed to any use of the property
which will cause dangerous traffic problems. I list as a separate issue because I
believe that decision makers should consider the wishes of the local citizens
when decisions are mode affecting the quality of their lives. If this roadside
watering hole is approved. we citizens of Orient will have to live with this terrible
.'
nuisance forever. The entrance to our lovely quiet village will become a noisy
saloon whose patrons park up and down the nearby streets.
I urge you to help the Orient Community by revoking this liquor license, which
was granted without a public hearing. Please consider the pUblic good and
please place that good above private greed.
Sincerely,
t1~ [>O-~ ~

On April 30, JlDbert Ehrlich was awarded a license by the New York State Liquor
Authority for his proposed "coffeeshop" at the corner of Village LAne and Rte. 15
Mr. Ehrlich's application to the Liquor Authority describes his proposed business as a
restauranJ/cafe WHICH WOULD BE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK FROM 7:00
A.M. TO 10:30 P.M., WITH LIVE AND PIPED-IN ENTERTAINMENT and a
seating capacity of 30, serving hamburgers and sandwiches
On May 1, Southold Town Clerk Elizabeth Neville wrote to the Liquor Authority,
stating that there was strong community objection and that the granting of a license
was premature. She asked for an administrative review.
At a May 15 meeting held by the Orient Association, which was attended by over 100
residents, President Anne Hopkins was urged by unanimous vote to advise the
Southold Town Board and Planning Board that there is strong community objection to
this proposed intrusion into a quiet residential neighborhood, on a sit. which has no
p1'el.ious commercial use, which has inadequate parking, and Is on a dangerous
intersection.
Now we need to atlllise the Liquor Authority of the same objectio"s. Time is of the
essence, and there is power In numbers. Please support your neighbors by signing the
following and returning it to the Orient Association. P.O.Box 181. Orient. NY 11957.
OA will forward them to the Authority (and keep a r<<ord of number of responses). For
infor_tion, you may also caU Freddie Wachsberger, VP of SCSR, at 323-3501.

Per.
Deai Mr. McKeon,
Our firm has been retained by the Orient Association and Southold Citizens for Safe Roads,
two civic associations with several hundred members in the town of Southold, Suffolk County.
We are writing to request that your agency re-open the granting of a liquor license to the
above applicant. We submit that the license was granted based upon misleading representations
made in the license application that had the effect of inducing the Authority to act favorably on the
application. Many letters from local residents have been sent to the Authority protesting the grant
ofa license to an establishment that will likely cause substantial traffic, parking and noise problems
in a residential setting.
As to the relevant legal issues, we believe that the Authority could not bystatute have granted
this license if it had been aware of all of the material facts.
The Certificate of Occupancy for the location is for a One Family Dwelling (copy attached).
There are no plans on file with the local planning board or buildings department to change the use
of the property. Under the Proposed Method of Ope ration at page 10 of the application, the applicant
makes the misleading statement that "Premise is operated as a restaurant/caf,L." (Emphasis added).
In fact, the building is a residence and is not operating as a restaurant or cafe. The use of the active
verb "is" creates a misleading impression that the premises is active and open. Under law, the
applicant cannot operate such an establishment because he does not have local approval for such use.
. '
MALUN & GOLDSTEIN. P.G.
One of his major problems in converting to commercial use would be the lack of sufficient
parking spaces for a restaurant or bar use. Traffic and noise problems for a night-time operation in
this quiet, residential community are other factors that should have been considered by the Authority
under ~64 (6-il) (c) and (d).
Most crucial at this stage is that the license was granted in violation of ABCL ~64 (6-a) (b);
~ 110 (1 )(e) and SLA Rules 948.3 and ~48.4(a). Under 964(6-a)(b), the Authority must consider
evidence that "all necessary licenses and permits have been obtained from the state and all other
governing bodies," Under ~ 110(1 )(e), the applicant must submit a valid certificate of occupancy for
the intended use. Under Rules 948.3, the Authority expects all on-premises "to conform with all
applicable building codes, fire, health, safety and governmental regulations," Under Rules ~48.4(a),
"No on-premises licenses shall be issued except where the premises comply with all statutory
requirements,"
The issuance of the license in this matter in violation of all of the foregoing criteria, law and
rules. The current use of the premises is a one-family house; there is no operating restaurant or cafe.
Under these circumstances, the Authority by law could not issue this license. We believe that the
Authority was induced in granting the license by reason of the misleading statements made in the
license application. (See Pasta Chef, Inc. v. SLA, 54 A.D.2d 1112,389 N.Y.S.2d 72, aff. 44
N.Y.2d 766, in which the Authority was upheld in denying a license in which representations were
made to mislead the Authority and to induce the Authority to act favorably on an application).
Based upon th.... foregoing, we respectfully request that the matter be re-opened to allow a full
record to be presented te the Authority by the residents who will be most affected by this propose..!
operation.
ji5cerely yours,
flf-.-~

Dear Mr. Davidson,
Charles Dean sbared with me your letter of July 8. I suspect that tbe Liquor Board
approved this license under tbe misapprebension that there was already a business on the
site. In fact, although it is within a business zone, it has always been a residence and
remains so until an application for conversion to business is approved. To my knowledge,
there is at prescot no application before the Planning Board, and Mr. Ehrlich bas been
advised that there is inadequate parking for a cafClrestaurant.
I am enclosing a copy of our letter of June 30 to Mr. Giotrre, together with copies of the
more than 250 petitions from Orient residents requesting that the Board revoke tbe
license. Please add them to the license file.
Sincerely,

Re: Suffolk op #1126712
Re: The Orient Coffee Shop, Inc.
Dear Mr. Anderson,
I urge you to revoke the liquor license granted to Mr. Ehrlich for The Orient
Coffee Shop, Ine, Suffolk op # 1126712. I list below the reasons for this request:
JtJL1S_
'fAte L" .
NJ~I7N;srFiAW'~
~N't
1) The Site
The building for which the Coffee Honse is proposed has been used as a
residence within local memory, and is surrounded by residences. It is on one
comer of an intersection of the Orient hamlet street called Village Lane and the
Main Road. This is the entrance to the historic Village of Orient. On the north
side of the Main Road is an enormous old plane tree standing in a grassy ova) in
the center of Youngs Road. On its trunk is a plaque stating that the tree stood on
this site when the Declaration of Independence was signed. This old tree is
known locally as The Buttonwood Tree. Opposite the Buttonwood Tree is a
memorial to the local residents wbo died in the Civil War. This is in the form of
an obelisk on an island in the center of Village Lane where it intersects the Main
Road. The family names of the dead are familiar. These names can be found in
the local telephone directory, some with addresses on Village Lane. The four
residences on the four comers of the intersection, including the one proposed as
a site for the Orient Coffee Shop, are lovely nineteenth-century homes. Some
have stately hedges. One has a magnificent old weeping beech. The owners of the
three residences on opposite comers to the proposed Coffee Shop are all quiet
people, respectful of the history to which they have become custodians. Nearby is
a beautiful old church with a tall white steeple, and tbe local grade school. Village
Lane runs south from this monument, bordered all along by eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century bistoric homes. This is a quiet, historic street. There is a post
office and a countIy store, a quilt shop and a farm shop owned by one of the local
farm families. There is a collection of old village honses that comprise the
Oysterponds Historical Society, Oysterponds being a fonner name for Orient.
Beyond this, Village Lane turns into King Street and runs off into farmland.
,'I \.
.:.~>.
2
The intersection is busy once each hour when the westbound traffic comes off
the Cross Sound Ferry, and then turning out ofVi1lage Lane or out ofY oungs
Road onto the Main Road becomes difficult. The site proposed for the Orient
Coffee Shop is on the South West corner of this intersection and does not have
adequate parking for a business that would generate car traffic. Clients would
have to park in the bicycle lanes that border the Main Road, which would cause
sightHne difficulty for drivers trying to turn onto the Main Road. It is an accident
waiting to happen, bad enough if it were simply a .coffee shop" but temblyworse
if alcoholic beverages are selVed there.
As part of his proposal, Mr. Ehrlich states that the business hours will be from
7 AM to 10:30 PM, with piped in and live music. This will forever change the
nature of this quiet historic hamlet.
Come visit this site before you grant a licensel
2) The Proposal
In all matters, we residents of Orient have been given very different and
varying information about the nature of this proposal. and the owner refused to
attend a meeting of the Orient Association to which he had been invited. As I
understand it, he has submitted different plans to the Building Department and
to the Planning Board, one plan indicating renovations for a single family
residence, one plan indicating a public ninil1g facility. I also understand that the
current C. of O. is residential, not commercial Therefore I do not understand
how a liquor license was granted. Please look into this.
3) Public Hearing
Shouldn't there have been some sort of public hearing before a license was, .1,.' '
granted? As I understand it, this license was granted in a very short time. Please
look into this.
,
i~

4) This is Your Watch
Please do not let this happen under'your~t~ ~ranting a liquor li~ to ".'i~r ''"'1'1!l11r'll4
this propertywiIIforever cbingea umque histoncslte, one of the few still . 'W/ " ,.' '.'

This will respond to your letter of July 15, 2002 and will confirm the message r left on
your answering machine on July 17,2002.
The subject license certificate was issued on April 30, 2002. Once the license certificate
is issued there is no procedure to rescind the approval or to reopen the inquiry into the
application.
We have conducted an investigation into the question of false material statements being
made in the application. This may result in charges to revoke the license.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am writing to you In raferance to a flyer that was placed In my mall box by
the Orlent AAOCtatlon. The aim of the flyer was to build support for danylng
Mr. Robart Ehrlich a liquor llcansa for his proposed coffee shop In the village
of orlent.
, am writing In support of him being ".ntad a 11_.1 would like to polnt
out that the president of the Orlent AssocIation Anne Hopkins Is not a full
time residant of Orlant and that her main resldance Is In New York CIty,as
are many If not most of tha replies you will iat:elva.not to mention many of
the people that live out of state and only spend a few months of the year
hare In OrlentAs far as the matter of Inadequate parklng,thelr ooncam Is
Just plain silly and Is belng used to Justify their opposition to the coffee shop.
There Is really no place In the Village to get anything decant to eat or
drlnk,and In my view the coffee shop would be a wek;ome addltlon.as It Is
now I have to make a 16 mile trlp In the momlng In order to gat a cup of
coffee.
Mr. Gloffre,thank you for taking the time in conslderlng my view on the
matter,and for the hundreds of other full time residents of Orlent who have
not spoken out on the subject because of Intlmlclatlon of the Orient

Dear Mr. Joffre
I first wrote to you regarding this license application in July. At that time, I also
wrote to Mr. Mark Anderson in Albany. I did receive a response from Mr.
Anderson on July 16, 2002. I did not receive a response from you.
I am still concerned about this proposed "coffee shop. in our quiet residential
neighborhood. The owner has continued to have construction done at the site,
although I understand he has no site plan before the Planuing Board. In addition,
he was told by tbe Planning Board at a visit to the site last spring (at which I was
present) that he could not open a business of this nature on this site, mainly
because of lack of parking and because of the dangerous intersection. It seems as
if be intends to go ahead with his plans without the approval of the Planning
Board, the Building Department, or the Health Department.
The current Certificate of Occupancy is Residential, not Commercial, so there
should not have even been an application for a Liquor License.
Friday, December 27, 2002
Mr. Anderson's letter of July 16, 2002, states that the Enforcement Bureau is
examining the license application SUFF OP 1126712. What is the current status of
this examination, and ofthis application?
I hope you will look into this, and take into consideration the history of this
endeavor up to this point.

Re: Robert Ehrlich, Orient Coffee Company
SCTM: 1000-18-5-5
DearMs~
Thank you for your recent letter regarding the above property. At the present time, no site plan
application is pending at the Southold Town Planning Board.
A preliminary discussion was held at a Work Session on March 4, 2002, and the Members of the
Planning Board, who expressed their concerns to the owner's architect about the shortage of parking
spaces, made a subsequent site visit. However, a formal site plan application was never submitted.
The Planning Department also checked the records of the Southold Town Building Department and
found that two building permits were issued for this property: Permit Number 28213, issued on March 19,
2002, for interior alterations to an existing single-family dwelling, and Permit Number 28748, issued on
September 17, 2002, for the demolition of an accessory garage.

Re: Robert Ehrlich, Orient Coffee Company
Dear Valerie,
I'm enclosing a copy of a letter from the mayor of Sea Cliff about the history ofMr,
Ehrlich's coffee shop in that to~; the process sounds all too familiar. I assume that there
is still no official application before the Planning Board (if there is, could you let us know
ASAP?) but as you can see, Mr. Ehrlich appears to think it is fine to go ahead and do
what he wants without permits. I understand that, at a work session, you had encouraged
the Planning Board to send Mr. Ehrlich a letter expressing the problems with what he
intended to do, and I wonder if such a letter was in fact sent, and, if so, whether we might
have a copy? In the meantime, the Liquor Authority has withdra~ his license pending a
hearing on apparently false statements on his application. As you know, it is the strong
feeling of the community that the only appropriate commercial use of this property would
be some kind of office requiring only limited parking and not operating outside of normal
business hours.

Facts About the Sea Cliff
Coffee Shop Application
ToTheEditor,
On February 6, Mr. Robert Ebrlich
published an "Open Letter" in the local
newspaper in which he discusses his appli-
cation to the Village for a special permit to
operate a coffee shop at 100 Roslyn A v-
enue. The letter contains inaccurate and
misleading statements that must be ad-
dressed and corrected. The following infor-
mation states the facts concerning the cof-
fee shop application.
On November 6, 2001, Mr. Ehrlich
applied for aspecial pennitand variances to
operate a coffee shep. Thi. wasafterheJJad
converted and renovated the premises to a
coffee shop and put a sign in the window ~
all without any Building, Plumbing or Sign
Permits. His application was heard by
the Zoning Board of Appeals three
weeks later, on November26,200I. Atthe
hearing, the Zoning Board asked Mr. EhrlIch
to submit more accurate and detatled Infor.
mation aboutthe proposed operation. This
was provided several weeks later, and the
application was granted on February 26,
2002, exactly in accordance with Mr.
Ehrlich's requests. Mr. Ehrlich had re-
quested a permit to operate a coffee shop
between the hours of? A.M. and 3 P.M. on
weekdays and 7 A.M. to 12 noon on week-
ends. This is exactly what was granted by
the Zoning Board. Contrary to Mr. Ehrlich's
allegation, his attempts to operate a coffee
sho~ have obviously not been "stymied by
the village bureaucracy for the past 17
months."
On Ma reh 5, 2002, one week after the
Zoning Board's decision, Mr. Ehrlich filed
another application to operate longer hours
and to permit outdoor dining. At approx1-
matelythe same time, he filedanapplIcatlon
withthe State Liquor Authorityforalicense
to sell beer and wine. At the Zoning Board
hearing held June 18,2002, many residents
were surprised and disturbed to learn that
the family "coffee shop," for parents and
children, might be replaced by a food estab-
lishment that would sell beer and wme,
outside, until 10:00 p.m. In his letter, Mr.
Ehrlich states that his application for a beer
and wine license had been "withdrawn."
However, the State Liquor Authority re-
ports that his application was denied, not
withdrawn, because he had stateq 10 the
application that all local zoning relief had
been granted when, in fact, it had not.
[nformation received by the villageindi-
cates that the denial is subject to appeal,
and that a license could still be granted.
Week of February 13,2003
lnhis "Open Letter" Mr. Ehrlich states
that he has been asked to provide an Envi-
ronmental Impact Statement because of his
proximity,!o an "Historic House." The facts
are that the Sea Cliff Planning Board has
asked Mr. Ehrlich to prepare the statement
because the "coffee shop" is completely
surrounded by residential properties n there
are no buffers n and two ofthe surrounding
properties are Landmark structures, one a
house and the other a church. Under the
State Environmental Quality Review Act,
where a proposed business is adjacent to a
landmark building, the environmental study
is required byN ew York State Law, not Sea
Cliff Village Law, and therefore, must be
provided. In addition, the Planning Board
is-concerned because the "coffee shop" is
now proposing to operate 15 hours a day,
seven days a week, with outdoor seating,
outdoor lights and music, and has made
application to sell beer and wine. The vil-
lage has not stymied Mr. Ehrlich's applica-
tion, but has required him to comply with
the applicable Village and State laws and
regulations.
Mr.Ehrlich's characterization of the
coffee shop as being "located in a free
standing, commercially zoned building with
its own parking lot" does not completely
describe the situation. In 1988, whenaprior
owner of the property applied to rhe Zon ing
Boardto utilize the larger building at the rear
of the property (a portion of which is in a
Residence Zone) for storage and offices,
the owner agreed that the front building
would flot be used for any busine.ss related
to'the service offood, mainly because the
parking area on the property, far from being
a separate area for the "coffee shop" build-
ing, as Mr. Ehrlich suggests, was almost
entirely used by and allocated to the uses
in the rear building. In spite of this condi-
tion, which the owner of the property was
happy to agree to, the Zoning Board, in its
decision of February 26, 2002, granted a
special permit to operate a coffee shop,
including the service of food and coffee,
because it was a minor deviation from the
prior restriction. Mr. Ehrlich's subsequent
requestto expand the use was a sufficiently
greater deviation and violation ofthe con-
dition to warrant further consideration.
The Village has also cooperated with
Mr. Ehrlich as 'regards the certificate of
occupancy (the permission to use the prop-
erty as a coffee shop). The Zoning Board
decision ofF ebruary 26, 2002 required spe-
cific modifications to the property before a
permanent certificate of occupancy could
be granted. A temporary certificate of oc-
cupancy was granted by the Buildin-g De-
partment pending completion of the modi-
fications and compliance with the condi-
tions. Even though all of these conditions
h~ve still not qeen :complied with, in an
effort to cooperate ,,,ith Mr. Ehrlich, the
temporary certificate of occupancy has been
extended four times, the latest being until
March 31, 2003. These extensions have
avoided the necessity of closing the coffee
shop.
I sincerely hope that the facts regard-
. ing the "coffee shop," as stated in this
letter, have given the readeraclearerunder-
standing of the true nature of the applica-
tion. The processing of certain applica-
tions can sometimes be difficult, and appli-
cants can resent having to comply with the
law, both substantive and procedural; but
these laws exist for the protection of all
village residents and businesses, and com-
pliance with such laws is necessary to. pro-
teet the orderly, correct and reasonable
development of property and the village as
a whole.

Re. Ehrlich Property, Main Road and Village Lane, Orient
Dear Mr. Latham:
Several times I have addressed the inappropriateness of the proposed coffee
shop/whatever directly across ,lII)ain Road from my house. I know that you as an
Orienter must also be horrified at the prospect.
In the past I have written Mr. Bennett Orlowski Jr., but I understand that he has
recently had health problems; so I am writing to you to pass my comments on to
him and the rest of the Planning Board. I will not repeat the many arguments that
the community has nearly unanimously put forth against this proposal.
As you no doubt know, construction continues almost daily on the project; most
recently several dumpsters have been filled and hauled off, new windows have
been put in, and what seems like major commercial equipment for preparing
food/beverages has already been moved in. How is it that this "renovation" has
not yet been stopped by the Town? As we logically know, it is much easier to
prevent things from happening by acting pro-actively than to correct a bad
situation once it has taken hold. Mr. Ehrlich could very likely open his
establishment in the face of Town and hamlet opposition. What then can the
Town do? This is not an unheard of scenario in Southold.
I have recently e-mailed Josh Horton that under previous administrations at Town
Hall the rich were protected or exempted or waivered while the common man had
to go through all the hurdles, often to be den,ied even simple variances. Why has
theTown not yet. s,ince Ehrlich's pr?posal's inception last March, allowed this
outsider to continue a project reprehensible t6 locals? .
