Southold Town Planning Board
SDUTHDLD, L. I., N. Y. 11971
February 14, 1974
Southold Town Board
16 South Street
Greenport, New York 11944
Gentlemen:
Re: Leisure Greens, Inc.
Change of Zone
This is to inform you that the following action was taken
by the Southold Town Planning Board at a regular meeting held on
January 30, 1974.
On motion made by Mr. Wickham, seconded by Mr. Grebe, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board recommend
~isaDDr.pval of the request for change of zone from "A" Residential
and Agricultural District to "Mool" General Multiple Residence
District of certain property located at Cutchogue, New York, known
as Leisure Greens, Inc. This recommendation was made in view of
the fact that the Planning Board presented in the master plan the
conception that there be no multiple residences between Mattituck
and Southold and this was supported by 85% of the people. This is
not in conformity with the Master Plan and the Board does not
consider it good use of this land. It appears on the surface that
this type of land use would tend to landlock or create a block of
the property to the north, east and west. A copy of the letter
from the Cutchogue"New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce recommending
approval seems to be at variance with the expressed views of some
of the businessmen in the village.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grebe, Moisa, Wickham
Abstained: Mr. Raynor
Absent: Mr. Coyle
Yours truly,
/ . :~.

Mr. Albert Martocchia, Supervisor

Re: Leisure Greens, Inc.
Dear Supervisor:
The Planning Board has not recommended this change of zone
for the reaSons stated in our resolution of January 30, 1974.
Subsequent to our letter to you there have been further
developments more or less related to this case which you will
find documented in the minutes of our meeting of Pebruary 20th.
(A copy of the not yet approved minutes are enclosed for your
information, both as to Leisure Greens. pp. 4 and 5 and Laurel
Country Estates pp. 11 and 12.)
Beginning at the time when these developers walked out of a
meeting of the Cutchogue - New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce when
they learned that you and I had been invited to be at their
presentation right up to the present, there have been a number
of occasions when the Planning Board has learned that the facts
were at variance with the statements of the developers.
I have discussed this matter with Bob Tasker and with a
New York City attorney and find that, for what it's worth, the
only comment this board can make is that in our opinion these
developers have not acted responsibly. This is certainly an
understatement of our opinion and we sincerely hope that the
Town Board before reaching a decision on this case will consider
not only the irregularities in the case but the total picture
which seems foreign to this town, also the actions of some of
these particular developers in other subdivisions.

Pinal1y, some time ago the Town Board took negative action
n an application for change of zone for the same purpose on New
ffo1k Lane in cutchogue, a more desirable location. It would
ppear also that many residents are opposed to the Norris project
likewise for the same purpose. The Planning Board respectfully
uggests that Leisure Greens is not the right plsce and this is
ot.the proper, time for this type of land use at this location.

I am the sole owner of a farm on the West side of Depot Lane,
ogue. The rear of the farm adjoins the property of Sledjeski,
s making application to build apartments. My farm fronts
1,800 feet on Depot Lane. It is approximately 650 feet in
and is adjacent to this property for about 1,800 feet.
Although I am renting the farm for farming purposes, and
y the residence, I realize I may not be able to do so much
r. I believe the farm is one of the best in Cutchogue for
elopment of fine homes. It is near transportation, shopping
hurches. It is off but near Route 25 and Route 27A.
I am very fearful that a change of zone on the Sledjeski
rty and the erection of moderate or low price houses will
ly diminish the value of my property and all of the adjoining
rties. Therefore, I would like to go on record as opposing
pplication.

be the uestion of how muoh taxes will be paid but how appropriate it
is to t e area. A Change of zone in this instanoe would be logical
if it w re considered as an alternative to a Mattituck development
because there is less congestion and more acoessible public facilities

I thought as I carne up there is really, considering the size
of th's project, a relatively small turnout tonight. I think we
are a 1 aware that at public hearings the people are basically
oppos d to the proposals. Very seldom do you find people in favor
of a roject corne out for it. people are well aware that this
heari g was going to be held tonight and the turnout is surprisingly
small which I think is an indication that the community is behind
this roject, that there is a need for it and it is a good
propo al. Thank you.
Mr. M rtocchia: Is there anyone else who would like to speak in

To stanley Sledjeski) You did after you represented so. I
like to clarify some points as I understand it so far.
e Greens, Inc. has submitted for a town zoning change from
Itural to multiple use. whatever they are proposing is
ary to the general change. It is not contingent on their
ic proposal. It is not a selective change. A change would
nd them to what they are presenting this evening. Is that
t?
Mr. M rtocchia: Yes.
rgrove: It is my understanding that the Chamber of Commerce,
failed to notify me of the meeting although they did notify
, did vote to support the change as proposed. The distinction
rying to make is that the chamber did not approve a general
to M-l. It was for this specific change for an elderly
g development. What they are approving is a specific plan
hat the Town Board must consider is the approval of a
1 change to M-l. As a result of that I think it must be
on general zoning. M-l change gives motels, hotels and
t camps and without a selective zoning change, the Town Board
be granting any zoning change regardless of the good faith
people who are making the proposal. If they have taken 46
in the center of Cutchogue and plan to put 300 units, say
600 - 1200 people would occupy the buildings, I would like to point
out t ere would be a 50% increase in Cutchogue. What this will do
to Cu chogue's economy and Cutchogue is as much your guess as mine.
I obj ct to it on the grounds of density. There is ten times as
many eople as on any other land. It is too much for Cutchogue at
this ment. I bought my land because it was in the center of an
agric Itural area. The pressures high density would exert on
farmi would be quite serious indeed. I don't know how the Board
goes a out deciding something like this. Does it look at individual
land the land next to it. There is one thing of clustering,
and t re will be single acre so it would be a poor way to use the
land. Let me read to you the final statement on the petition to
the To n Board. "Furthermore, the surrounding area would not be
advers ly affected, since it is presently farmland rather than
homes.' Why wouldn't farmland be hurt? You could make that
assess ent until the last bit of farmland is gone. Give the
farmla d a chance.

resp ct to a much greater extent than does the application made for
Matt'tuck. The biggest concern in a decision on rezoning should not
be t e question of how much taxes will be paid but how appropriate it
is t the area. A change of zone in this instance would be logical
if i were considered as an alternative to a Mattituck development
beca se there is less congestion and more accessible public facilities
for s nior citizens.
n considering the Leisure Greens application from the stand-
of density, we feel that the number of buildings and occupants
h too high. Under the present one acre residential zoning,
40 single residences averaging even five occupants per house
would yield an added population of 200. The proposed plan contains
74 bu'ldings and 296 units, which would house approximately 600
peopl with the concern about water supply for existing residents
of th Town, we believe it would be irresponsible to consider such a
poptll tion density for the given acreage. It is our position that
futur consideration of multiple housing whether cluster or condominiums
shoul be based on one unit per 1/2 acre lot with sewers and town
water Even with tertiary sewage treatment required, when would it
be ma datory that it be installed? Since completion is estimated
over period of five years, cesspools would be used until a costly
terti ry sewage treatment system would be economically feasible. If
the d mand for condominiums were to drop, one could envision the
appli ant asking the Board of Health for a delay or waiver on sewer
const uction after a few years.
