Southold Town Planning Board Page Two November 13, 2000 PUBLIC HEARINGS Site Plans: Mr. Orlowski: 6:00 p.m.: Private Ferry Terminal/Robins Island - This proposed site plan is for a 1,344 square foot private ferry terminal for garage and storage located on the northeast corner of First and Jackson Streets in New Suffolk. SCTM#1000-117-8-18 &19 Does anyone here have any comments on this? Kevin Law, Esq., Nixon Peabody, 990 Stewart Ave., Garden City: Good evening, i'm the attorney for the applicant. Just some background for the Board and for anybody here who is interested: As you recall, we originally met with Bob Kassner and Ed Forrester to go over our plans to figure out what we wanted to call this building. We met with this Planning Board on Valentine's Day this year in a Work Session to get some guidance from the Board. We obtained a Special Exception Permit and a Side Area Variance from the Board of Appeals in July and we obtained our Wetland Permits from the Town Trustees in July as well. Some background on the applicant: Mr. Louis Bacon, when he acquired Robins Island, acquired two parcels on the mainland in New Suffolk which is bisected by the Town Boat Ramp, the Town-owned property down in New Suffolk. The title to the property was then transferred to a holding company, which is Robins Island Holdings, and Belvedere Property Management is the entity that manages this property and that's who the applicant is, in case you were wondering. Since our Work Session, we've scaled back the plans a little bit, made the building smaller. When we originally met with you, it was a 30 x 60 structure. We've scaled that back to a 28 x 48. At the Zoning Board, some members of the community had come down and expressed public concerns with our plans and at the second hearing - or the second evening - the Zoning Board was able to address, what we believe, were most of the concerns of the community. And so we've scaled back the building and what we're looking to erect there now is another modification to our plan since our Work Session. The ferry terminal building will still be used for all the marina-related uses associated with Robins Island, for both people and for deliveries, but we are no longer proposingl to construct office space on the second floor. It's just going to be dead storage - attic space. It will be a garage building on the bottom floor with the dead storage above it. We are going to - if you recall, right now we're in rented quarters across the street and the people, the three or four individuals who work there now, we are going to put them on Robins Island in the work shops that are currently there that we got approvals for from the Zoning Board back in 1996 and we're going to, rather than have a staff person at this building, there will be phone service and if somebody needs to bring either a package or if they need to bring something over to the island, there will be a phone there. They'll make arrangements with staff on the island and the boat will come and Southold Town Planning Board Page Three November 13, 2000_ pick them up at the dock and then bring them over to the island. So the plan has changed somewhat and this also helps us because it eliminates some of the other issues that we have with the property because we're no longer proposing the office space, we no longer have to deal with the Health Department. Just some more basic information - we believe that our proposal is consistent with the zoning and the other marine activities in the area. The Building Inspector suggested that we call this a ferry terminal. I want to emphasize that it is a private ferry terminal just' strictly for the private use of Robins Island. There won't be people ferrying back and forth like you might typically associate with a ferry terminal. Since we are currently conducting similar activities right across the street in rented quarters and since our activities have really scaled back from what we were doing on the island in terms of the construction that was going on there a couple of years ago, we don't think there will be any significant impact to the community and there will be no additional impact than what's currently going on there right now. I'm happy to address any questions the Board may have. Mr. Orlowski: O.K. Any other comments? ,Joe McKay, New Suffolk Civic Association: ! just wanted to say that, over the course of the last six months or so, the Robins Island people have worked closely with Tom Samuels, President of the Civic Association, and myself, liason from New Suffolk to Robins Island, and we've addressed the community concerns and the concerns that we, ourselves, had in a very positive way and this proposal as it now stands is very satisfactory to us. Mr. Orlowski: Very good. Anyone else? (No one else wished to speak.) O.K. Any questions from the Board? Hearing none, I'!1 entertain a motion to close the hearing. Mr. Ca.~iano: So move. Mr. Cremers: Second. Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the motion? All those in favor? Ayes: Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Caggiano, Mr. Cremers, Mr. Edwards. Mr. Orlowski: Opposed?
