Draft EIS Scoping
Dear Benny:
A Scoping Meeting was held on November 21, 1991, for the purpose of determining
the content of a Draft EIS for the above referenced project. Present were:
Charles J. Voorhis, CVA
Charles Bowman, Land Use Co.
William Moore, Attorney
Valerie Scopaz, Southold
Melissa Spiro, Southold
The attached outline was used as a basis for discussion regarding scope. It was
agreed that the Draft EIS prepared in 1987 for thisj>roject should be modified and re-
submitted, as opposed to preparing a supplement. It was further agreed.that many portions
of the original document can be re-utilized; however, updates, and additions wouldbe
necessary.
The applicant was advised of the need to have t. he revised Draft EIS conform to the
attached outline, with the addition of the following points discussed at the meeting:
* Discussion on Critical Environmental Area designation.
* Review of information concerning groundwater contamination upgradient of site.
* Update of vegetation section to current conditions.
* Additional information (habitat needs, species biology) on Threatened Species
and Species of Special Concern.
* The origin of the wetland delineation should be stated, and a line should be
established for the purpose of a Town Trustees permit.
* Impact regarding any proposed construction (particularly excavations and
sanitary systems) in areas with less than 10 feet to groundwater should be
addressed in detail in terms of grading and fill, er.osion and extensive clearing.
Avoidance of such areas should be used as the primary, mitigative tool.
* Analysis of an alternative which provides all of the building envelopes in areas
with an elevation greater than 10 feet.

Dear Mr. Voorhis:"
Enclosed please find a copy of a letter to Charles Bowman
which spells out the procedure the Planning Board wishes to
follow with regard to restarting the environmental review
process.
In your recommendations, you included a cost estimate for
your services if we decided to follow your recommended course of
action. However, since we are proposing a slightly different
procedure, I am giving you the opportunity to revise your cost
estimate prior to the "update" scoping session. As noted in the
enclosed letter, we will need a fee for the scoping session
itself.
If you have any questions, please contact Valerie Scopaz.
She will be calling you as soon as she hears from Mr. Bowman
about convenient meeting days.

environmental review was started in 1986, but has not moved
forward since July of 1987 when the draft environmental impact
statement was declared incomplete.
Given that more than five years has elapsed since the
scoping session of August 1986, it would be prudent to have an
"update" scoping session, the purpose of which would be to
discuss the Planning Board's current environmental concerns
about the proposed project, particularly in light of the new
regulations and standards that may have gone into effect in the
meantime. Our current environmental consultant, Charles Voorhis,
will conduct the session. Mr. Voorhis has reviewed the files and
is familiar with the content of the 1986 scoping session.
It appears that a supplemental draft environmental impact
statement may be sufficient to address the deficiencies of the
prior statement as well as to include the concerns brought out
at the "update" scoping session. However, this matter might
best be discussed at the scoping session with Mr. Voorhis.
In order to proceed as expeditiously as possible, it is
suggested that you call this office to let Valerie Scopaz know
what days you and your client would be available to attend an
"update" scoping session. She will then coordinate with Mr.
Voorhis to select a mutually convenient time for all parties. ~
As for application review fees, the Planning Board will not
charge an additional application fee for its own review.
However, it will have to charge for the environmental review.
Payment for each stage of the ~eview will be expected in advance
of that action. Before the "update" session, payment in the
amount of five hundred ($500) dollars will be needed to cover
Mr. Voorhis' review of the entire file and his subsequent
recommendations. The fee for the scoping session itself is not
known. That information will be sent to you under separate cover
when we receive it from Mr. Voorhis. Inasmuch as additional
environmental review fees are anticipated, I will ask Mr.
Voorhis to prepare an estimated cost list which we can discuss
during the scoping session.
If you have other concerns, please contact Valerie Scopaz
at this office. In any case, please notify her as to which dates
would be most convenient for the scoping meeting.

Re:

SCTM # 1000-86-1-9
Dear Benny:
As per your request, we have reviewed the information forwarded to our office on
June 27, 1991, with regard to the above referenced project. Based upon the file review it
appears as though the proposed project involves a pendinj~ subdivision of 49.24 acres of land
into 42 lots. The project was subject to a coordinated rewew and had received a Positive
Declaration on July 14, 1986. Apublic Scoping Meeting was held on August 4, 1986, and
based upon the scope establishedat that meeting, the applicant submitted a Draft EIS for
review on April 20, 1987. The Town Planning Consultant reviewed this document, and on
July 8, 1987, a letter was issued by Szepatowski Associates, finding that the Draft EIS ~as
not comt, lete with regard to scope. After that time, the Town hadno further contact aith
the applicant with regard to submission of a Revised Draft EIS.
I t is our further understanding that recently, the attorney for the applicant .contacted
the Town to deternfine what would be necessary to reactivate the subject application. The
map presentl,y, under consideration is titled the "Preliminary Subdivision Map of Richmond
Creek Farms date December 29, 1986, Young & Young, Riverhead. This map appears to
be different from the map which was the topic of ~e scoping meeting; however, based upon
the review of the Scoping Meeting minutes, there ts not an appreciable difference fu the
environmental issues associated with these maps. llaerefore, ~or the purpose of these
recommendations, we are assuming that there is no significant change in the proposed
project. Based upon the need to determine the appropriate procedure for reactivating the
review of this project, the Town has requested that Cramer, Voorhis & Associates, Inc.
letter is submitted in fulfillment of this request.
Assuming that the project has not appreciably chan~ged, it is our feeling th.at the
coordination and the issuance of the Positive Declaration is still valid. The Scoplng Meeting
conducted in 1986 set the basis for the Draft EIS which the applicant submitted. Tlae Town~
review of the Draft EIS issued July 8, 1987 by Szepatowski Associa?s completed the Towns
obligation under the State Enviromnental Quality Review Act, until such time as a [evised.
Draft EIS is submitted. It is our belief that the applicant would have the option to sub,nit a
revised Draft EIS responding the July 8, 1987 letter at this time. It may not be prudent or
cost effective to do this however, due to the fact that issues and concerhs have ~hanged over
the past four (4) years. With justification, the Town has the option to expand the scope of a
Draft EIS [6 NYCRR Part 617.7 (c)]. The Town would certainly reject a revised Draft EIS if
it is not reflective of current conditions.

Recommended SEQR Procedure
We note that a great deal of time was expend.ed in identifying the issues for inclusion
in the Draft EIS, and the public was invited to partmlp, ate in that process..Due to the fact
that a Draft EIS was subrmtted based upon prior scoplng, we do not feel it ~s necessary to
entirely re-scope the Draft EIS. Therefore, it is our recommendation that the Board
consider retaining our firm to review the document as compared to the Szepatowski letter of
July 8, 1987, and issue a new review letter which incorporates the previous letter and
provides additional comments on matters which should be included to update the Draft EIS
and provide a document which will be acceptable for public circulation. The Town should
have the applicant (or applicants attorney) provide a letter or .an understanding that the
document must conform to the updated review in order to achieve acceptance.
We feel that this recommended procedure will be the most cost-effective means of
updating the process without duplicating work which has already been completed. The goal
is to obtain a Draft EIS wh!ch is adequate for circulation to the public and involved agencies
for comments and completion of the SEQR process, and the State Environmental Quality
Review Act clearly places this responsibility upon the lead agency [6 NYCRR Part 617.8
(b)(3)].
Once the applicant submits a revised Draft EIS based upon the revised review letter,
the document should follow the ordinary process of a 30-day review to determine
acceptance. Once accepted the document will be subject to a comment period and Public
Hearing, with preparation of a Final EIS and a Statement of Findings as required under
SEQRA.
If you are in agreement with the above scenario, we would be pleased to provide
these services based upon the following fee schedule:

Last week I received a call from Chuck Bowman asking to set
up a meeting to discuss the next step in the environmental
review of this subdivision. At that time, I told him that I
would review the file, speak with the Planning Board, and return
his call this Tuesday morning.
'Last night the Planning Board agreed to have Chic Voorhis
of Cramer and Voorhis review the files, which he did. Mr.
Voorhis will let the PB know how he thinks they should restart
the environmental review process which has been stalled since
about 1987 when the DEIS was declared incomplete.
This morning I called Mr. Bowman to let him know that the
PB had authorized its environmental consultant to review the
files. I told him that I would be in contact with Mr. Voorhis
later in the week; and that as soon as I had direction about how
the PB was going to proceed, that I would call him. He
indicated that regardless of how PB decides to proceed, he would
like to meet with Mr. Voorhis and myself to review what is
expected of the applicant.

Re: Richmond Creek Farms
Dear Bill:
By letter dated November 27, 1990 you wrote to me advising that you had
asked Matt Kiernan to hold (~ff on making a determination from our office regarding
the Town's position on the zoning yield for the above-referenced subdivision until
you had an opportunity to review the Planning Board's files and comment on
same. Your November 27th letter has received a good deal of attention by the
Town. Both Matt and I have had an opportunity to review your letter and have
discussed it together at length. Based on all the facts and circumstances
surrounding this subdivision application, and after a review of what is contained
in the Planning Board's files, it is my opinion, in which Matt concurs, that the
zoning yield on this subdivision is one acre,
Among the factors which Matt and I found particularly compelling in reaching
our conclusion is the fact that on April 12. 1982. the Planning Board held a
public hearing on the preliminary subdivision map for Richmond Creek Farms, As
you correctly assert in your November 27th letter, this date is critical because
Section 100-31(B)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance (now 100-32~B)~2)) grandfathered all
subdivisions which have been the subject of a preliminary map hearing prior to
May 20. 1983. In addition to the foregoing, which Matt and I feel alone, properly
accords this subdivision one acre density, on September 27, 1984. the Town Board
granted the owners of this subdivision relief from the May. 1983 upzoning.
Please also be advised that your September 27th letter was circulated to the
Town Board and Matt and I discussed the contents of your letter with the Town
Board on several occasions. Lastly. we have advised the Town Board of our
feeling that the proper density on this subdivision is one acre.

Dear Valerie:
Our clients wish to proceed with the subdivision review process and SEQRA in light
of the fact that they have succeeded after several years of effort in obtaining a community
water supply for the proposed subdivision. The processing of this application has been held
up pending a determination from the town as to the proper zoning yield for this parcel.
An answer to the question regarding zoning yield has been before the town since the
end of November, 1990. I would truly appreciate an opportunity to meet with you and the
town attorney to discuss this matter in detail so that a determination can be made and this
application can proceed. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

The Planning Board has received a request from the owner of
the above-referenced subdivision to proceed with the application
under R-40 zoning, which is what the property was zoned when the
application was first made in 1981.
The Planning Board's position is that the subdivision
should be processed under "A-C" or two acre zoning. The
applicant's attorney has submitted material in support of his
claim to one acre zoning. A review of the files and the
supporting documentation by your office would be appreciated.
The Board must respond to this request soon to avoid litigation.

Re: Rlchmon~ Creek Farms major subdivision
Dear Mr. Tasker:
The above mentioned subdivision, which is proposed in the
cluster concept, received relief from the two-acre zoning from
the Town Board pursuant to 100-31.1 of the Town Ordinance.
As you may know, the cluster concept, under one acre permits
lots of ½ acre, which'are below the. standards for.the Suffolk
County ~Department of Health Services. The applicant has been
inquiring if he may change .the subdivision layout.from a cluster
to a conventional one-acre subdivision to avoid a problem in
obtaining Article 6 approval.
The Planning Board would like your opinion as to whether
the map must remain in the cluster concept since that was the
proposal which was granted relief, or if it could be changed
to a convential one-acre layout.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
very trul~ yours,

Re: Richmond Creek Farms
Major Subdivision.
Dear Sir:
This is in reply to yo.ur March 26, 1985 letter relative to the above
subdivislon.
In reviewing the Planning Board records, I find that on June 15, 1982, the
Planning Board granted preliminary epproval of this subdivision.
Section 100-31 B(2) of the Zoning Code, as enacted on August 9, 1983 by
Local ~Law No. 9-1983, provldes that the bulk requirements set forth in
Column .A- 40 of the Bulk Schedule (40,000 sq~ ft. lots), "shall apply to the
following lots:"
All lots shown on 'major subdivision maps upon which the Planning
Board has held a hearing-for preliminary map approval prior to May
20, 1983."
Since the Planning Board granted preliminary approval of this map on June
15, 1982, it 'must have held a hearing thereon prior to such preliminary
approval, and also prior to May 20, 1983. Therefore, the above provisions of
Section 100-31 B(2) apply and the lots shown on such map may be developed
with lots having a minimum, area of q0,000 square feet.
It would be my opinion that since this subdivision was automatically pursuant
to Section 100-31 B(2), no application for relief from the two-acre
requirements was required under Section 100-31.1 of the code.
I am also of the opinion that the Planning Board may entertain an application
by the Owner to amend the preliminary map from a cluster concept to a
conventional one-acre layout. A public hearing should be held on the amended
map prior to action thereon by the Planning Board.
Yours very truly,
RWT:aa

objections to title if the Seller shall comply with the
foregoing requirements.

the time of closing any endorsed checks or third-party
checks. All certified and/or teller's checks presented at
the closing shall be made payable to the Purchaser and drawn

checks shall be drawn on New York State Banks.

following:
(a) Those facts contained in the survey of Peconic
Surveyors & Engineers, P.C., dated July 25, 1986, and any
facts a subsequent survey may show provided same does not

(b) Those facts contained in the title report of First
American Title Insurance Company, Title No. 131-S-0590, a
copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof.
13. The Purchaser may waive any condition inserted in

tenancies and occupancies.
17. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event that any public assessable improvements shall have
been made or authorized by law, the liability for the
payment of said assessments shall be the Seller's
notwithstanding the fact that same shall not have been
entered or become an actual lien at the time of title
closing.
18. The submission by Seller of this contract to
Purchaser shalI' be deemed a submission solely for
Purchaser's consideration and not for acceptance and
execution. Such submission shall have no binding force or
effect and shall confer no rights nor impose any obligations
for Seller unless and until Seller shall have acsepted and
executed this contract 'and delivered same to the Purchaser's
attorney.
19. At closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an
appropriate certification to the effect that Seller is not a
"foreign person or corporation:" within the meaning of such
terms as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
20. (a) Any omissions or errors made in the computation
or any apportionments at closing shall be corrected even
though discovery of such omissions or errors are
communicated to the other party within six months after
closing. Subject to the foregoing limit, reimbursement of
the appropriate amounts shall be made by Seller to Purchaser
or vice versa, as the case may be, promptly after
determination of the correction to be made.
(b) The net figure resulting from all adjustments
and apportionments shall, if in Purchaser's favor, allowed
as a credit towards the cash portion of the purchase price
due at closing from Purchaser, and, if in Seller's favor,
shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller at closing in addition
to the cash portion of the purchase price due at closing.
21. (a) Purchaser and Seller agree to comply timely
with the requirements of Article 31-B of the New York Tax
Law and all regulations of the Department of Taxation and
Finance ("State Tax Commission") applicable thereto
(collectively, "Gains Tax Law") in good faith and in such
manner as to avoid any postponement of the closing as herein
provided, or of the recording of the deed to be delivered at
the closing.
(b) Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver to
Seller, within five (5) business days after written request,
a duly executed Transferee Questionnaire showing the full
consideration to be paid to Seller by Purchaser.
(c) At the time of the closing, Seller from its
funds shall deliver to the Purchaser's title company, a
certified or teller's check payable to the order of the
State Tax Commission representing the appropriate tax
payment due from Seller as set forth in the official
Tentative Assessment and Return thereon duly executed by
Seller, or from the proceeds of this sale, if so requested
by Seller.
(d) Seller further agrees to promptly pay any
additional Gains tax, interest and penalty, if any, that may
be assessed after the delivery of such assignment and to
save Purchaser, and its assigns, if any harmless therefrom.
(e) The foregoing provisions pertaining to the

Supplemental Rider to Contract
It is understood and agreed between the parties that the
purpose for the sale of the subject premises to the Suffolk
County Water Authority (SCWA) is for SCWA to construct a well
upon the premises, and for the Richmond Creek Associates (RCA) to
thereafter receive water from SCWA for its proposed subdivision
at real property known as Richmond Creek Farms, Suffolk County
Tax Map No. 1000-86-01-09. RCA has already applied to the Town
of Southold for subdivision approval for the Richmond Creek Farms
property into 42 separate building lots for one family homes, and
SCWA has applied, (or will apply shortly) to the State Department
of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for approval of construction
of its proposed well (or wells). It is the intention of the
parties that the purchase price of the subject premises
($105,000) shall be offset against the cost to SCWA of bringing a
water main to Richmond Creek Farms. The total cost to SCWA is
187,856, as shown on attached Exhibit A, "Estimate of Cost".
The Parties therefore agree as follows:
1. The sale of the subject premises is contingent upon the
following:
a. The approval by the DEC of SCWA's application for
the construction of a well on the subject premises.
b. The approval by the Town of Southold of RCA's
application for subdivision approval of Richmond Creek
Farms.
If either party's application is finally denied, this
contract shall be terminated, and neither party shall have any
rights against the other.
2. Each party will diligently process its application.
Each party will cooperate with the other party in the other
party's application when such cooperation is reasonably
requested.
3. Upon the issuance of both approvals referred to above
in paragraph 1 of this rider, the parties will promptly close
title to the subject premises. At the closing, the total
purchase price of $105,000 will be applied to the cost of
bringing the water main to Richmond Creek Farms of $187,856.00.
The total cost $187,856 of bringing the main to Richmond
Creek Farms shall be paid by RCA in installment payments as
follows: 1/3 upon commencement of the work, 1/3 upon completion
of one-half of the project, and the balance upon completion, with
RCA receiving a credit against the first installment of $62,619
and a credit of $42,381 against the second installment for the
sale price of the land.
4. Promptly after closing, SCWA will commence the work
necessary install its well or wells on the subject premises, and
to bring the water main to Richmond Creek Farms at a point on the
southwest corner of Mill Lane and the Main. SCWA will supply
sufficient water for the proposed 42 homes in the Richmond Creek
Farms subdivision. SCWA will proceed to diligently complete the
work, but in all events the work will be completed within two (2)
years from the date of the later of:
a. DEC approval of SCWA's well application; or,
b. the Town of Southold's approval of RCA's subdivision
approval.
5. RCA will be responsible for the installation of pipes,
mains and hydrants, etc., within the confines of Richmond Creek
Farms. RCA will install its pipes and mains according to SCWA's
usual specifications for subdivisions of this size. Upon
completion of the work within the subdivision, RCA will give to
SCWA, and SCWA will accept, whatever easements, rights of way,
etc., are necessary for SCWA to thereafter maintain the lines,
mains and hydrants, as part of its water supply system. SCWA
will thereafter supply water to owners of lots within Richmond
Creek Farms in the same amounts on the same terms offered to its
other residential consumers.
6. Ail provisions of this Supplemental Rider to Contract
shall survive closing of title.

Re: Rlchmon~ Creek Farms major subdivision
Dear Mr. Tasker:
The above mentioned subdivision, which is proposed in the
.cluster concept, received relief from the two-acre zoning from
the Town Board pursuant to 100-31.1 of the Town Ordinance.
As you may kn~w, the cluster concept, under one acre permits
lots of % acre, which are below the. standards for.the Suffolk
CountyDepartment of Health Services. The applicant has been
inquiringif he may change .the subdivision layout from a cluster
to a conventional one-acre subdivision to avoid a problem in
obtaining Article 6 approval.
The Planning Board would like your opinion'as to whether
the map must remain in the cluster concept since that was the
proposal which was granted relief, or if it could be changed
to a convential one-acre layout.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
very trul~ yours,

Re: Richmond Creek Farms
Major Subdivision.
Dear Sir:
This is in reply to yo.ur March 26, 1985 letter relative to the above
subdivision.
In reviewing the Planning Board records, I find that on June 15,
Planning Board granted preliminary approval of this subdivision?'
1982, the
Section 100-31 B(2) of the Zoning ~:ode, as enacted on August 9, 1983 by
local 'Law No. 9-1983, provides that the bulk requirements set forth in
Column .A- q0 of the Bulk Schedule (#0,000 sq, ft. lots), "shall apply to the
following lots:"
"(2) All lots shown on major subdivision maps upon which the Planning
Board has held a hearing .for preliminary map approval prior to May
20, 19837
Since the Planning Board granted preliminary approval of this map on June
15, 1982, it 'must have held a hearing thereon prior to such preliminary
approval, and also prior to May 20, 1983. Therefore, the above provisions of
Section 100-31 B(2) apply and the lots shown on such map may be developed
with lots having a minimum, area of #0,000 square feet.
It would be my opinion that since this subdivision was automatically pursuant
to Section 100-31 B(2}, no application for relief from the two-acre
requirements was required under Section 100-31.1 of the code.
I am also of the opinion that the Planning Board may entertain an application
by the owner to amend the preliminary map from a cluster concept to a
conventional one-acre layout. A public hearing should be held on the amended
map prior to action thereon by the Planning Board.
Yours very truly,
RWT :aa
