Baxter. Mark: This proposal is to subdivide a 6.7898-acre parcel into 2 lots where Lot 1
equals 4.4417 acres and Lot 2 equals 2.3841 acres. The property is located on the nlslo Main

5.3 & 5.4
Chairperson Woodhouse: We are going to be voting on a resolution to continue to keep this
open. Is there anyone here who would like to address the Board on this application?
Wavne Swiatocha: The first thing I'd like to do is read a letter from the attorney from Twomey
Latham Shea Kelley and Dubin into the record: "Dear Chairperson Woodhouse and members
of the Board: This firm has recently been retained by Ms. Paula Ohlmann and Emily and Paul
Carosotto who reside on Main Bayview Road adjacent to the proposed subdivision of Mark
Baxter. Our clients would like to retain an environmental consultant to determine the location
of the wetlands in this area. We therefore respectfully request that the record in this matter be
kept open for an additional thirty days to allow our clients to submit their consultant's report.
Thank you for your courtesies. Very truly yours, David M. Dubin." We are in the process of
hiring a wetlands expert from Greenman & Peterson in Babylon.
Other things that I've looked into: I went and talked to the DEC about this matter because
there is a DEC permit on this. I submitted a packet to the DEC. They are basically; they
made some comments on it basically saying that when it comes up for a residential permit,
this will all be reviewed again. The person I submitted this to, however, wasn't too happy with
those comments, and she is resubmitting that to her supervisor. I have also spoke with
Peconic Estuary and Wastewater Management. They are going to be bringing in the engineer
who designed the sewage system. They want him to explain exactly how he is going to do the
sewage system. So, that is also in the works. But what I will say is: everyone I've spoken to
about this, whether it be the DEC, the Peconic Estuary, whatever, they pretty much say to me:
what is the Planning Board doing on this? They say the Planning Board should be able to
have more stringent guidelines than what we're setting forth. So, they were kind of saying,
well, the Planning Board should be able to make a decision on this. So, I just kind of wanted
to relay that that's the message that I'm being given by them. But both agencies are looking
into this subdivision and we're going to have a wetlands expert I guess take a look at the land.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address the
Board on this application?

Paul Carosotto: In speaking to the attorney, one question he asked which was very obvious
on the survey, is that nothing looked north. Now he's showing from his proposed building plot,
15' to the nearest property. Now I'd just like to know what the Town ruling is as far as property
lines: is it 30' or 15'?
Anthonv Trezza: You mean building setbacks?
Paul Carosotto: Yes.
Anthonv Trezza: I don't know the building setbacks offhand; there could be a minimum, if it's
deemed a side yard it could be as low as 15' on one side, it's possible, on one side.
Paul Carosotto: Because that was one of the problems; the attorney looked at that survey and
said "this doesn't look right for 15', normally it's 3D'." Of course, if it is 15' then he's gonna
have to go for a variance. I mean, if it's 30' he'll have to go for a variance and if it is 3D' and
he pushes it over, then he's into the wetlands by 100' and, according to the Town wetlands
law, it has to be 1 DO' from wetlands. So, that was a concern of his. Thank you very much.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Board?
Janet Auer: I did write a letter and, as you know, I am concerned over a home being built
back there. I just want to say again that I would hope that it doesn't go through. I do have two
children with cystic fibrosis, and I would be very concerned if my basement started to flood
continually. It would be a health hazard for my children, and also for my neighbor because
she has well water. We're all in the same situation, so I just wanted to voice my opinion that
I'm just concerned and hopefully this won't go through and Mr. Baxter won't be allowed to put
a house back there. That's it. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address the
Board? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to; we are going to continue to hold this open.
Ken Edwards: I'd like to make a motion to hold the Mark Baxter Subdivision Hearing open.
Martin Sidor: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? And the motion carries. We will continue to hold it
open, we are also waiting for more reports to come in. Thank you.

WHEREAS, the Southold Town Planning Board has received a copy of the recorded
Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions dated February 23, 2006 for the future cross-over
access to the property directly west of the subject property;
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Southold Town Planning Board denies the application for
site plan approval dated February 2, 2006, floor plan dated February 3, 2006, and truck turn-
around layout plan dated February 3, 2006 prepared and certified by Michael Mapes,
Professional Engineer for the following reasons:
1) Pursuant to Town Code Section 100-213 "Transition buffer area", the Planning
Board, in its discretion, determines that a 25' minimum buffer is necessary to protect the
abutting residential properties due to the uniqueness of the subject property, its close
proximity to the surrounding properties and the expected deleterious effects of retail
activities on this rural village area. This required minimum buffer area is not depicted on
the proposed site plan dated February 2, 2006, nor does the buffer proposed by the
applicant satisfy these concerns. Because of the unique shape of the affected parcels,
the neighboring property to the south shares 3 property lines with the subject parcel, with
structures .5' from the property line. The property to the east is configured such that it
conjoins with the subject parcel, sharing boundaries on two (2) contiguous sides, with
structures within approximately 20' of the subject property. It is the Planning Board's
determination that the proposed double row of 5'-6' Leyland Cypress Hedge will not
"provide privacy from noise, headlight glare and visual intrusion to the neighboring
properties" as required by Town Code Section 100-213.
2) Pursuant to Town Code Section 100-251, the Planning Board further finds that the
proposed site plan change of existing use and location of parking areas will not "Protect
the established character and value of the adjoining properties, both public and private,
and of the neighborhood in which they are located" as required by Section 100-251 B.
3) The agent, for the applicant, through testimony in the public hearing on March 13,
2006, has admitted that the proposed use is in actuality a "gift shop" dedicated to typical
retail sales, as opposed to the "Antiques, Auction Gallery, Arts & Crafts and accessory
retail/storage" use as listed on the site plan application. As per Town Code 100-191,
parking calculations for a gift shop would be based on the retail shop requirements
which calls for "at least 1 parking space per 200 feet of gross floor area" in "order to
minimize traffic congestion, air pollution and the risk of motor vehicle and pedestrian
accidents and to address aesthetic considerations "as per Town Code 100-190:
Purpose. The gross floor area, as indicated within this proposed site plan application,
requires a minimum of 10 parking spaces, double the 5 proposed spaces as depicted on
the applicant's plan dated February 2, 2006.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there a second to that resolution?
