ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 3915 - Application of JORDAN'S PARTNerS.
Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article VII, Seg~io~
100-71, as disapproved, for permission to construct retail
stores in conjunction with office building uses; proposed
retail construction is not permitted in this RO Zone
District. Property Location: 1000 Main Street and
160 Main Road, Greenport, NY; County Tax Map District 1000,
Section 34, Block 2, Lot 1.
WHEREAS, public hearings were held in the Matter of the
Application of JORDAN'S PARTNERS under Appeal No. 3915; and
WHEREAS, at said hearings all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, the physical
characteristics of the land, its present zoning, its previous
zoning classification(si, and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. This is an appeal of the January 31, 1990 Notice of
Disapproval in which an application dated May 9, 1989 was
considered by the Building Inspector to construct office and
retail stores, which was disapproved on the following grounds:
"...Under Article VII, Section 100-71, proposed
construction is not a permitted use in this district.
Action required by the Zoning Board of Appeals... "
2. The premises in question consists of 4.75+- acres with
frontages along three streets: (a) North Road (a/k/a State
Route 25) along the northerly end of the premises, (b) Main
Street (a/k/a State Route 25) along the westerly end of the
premises, and (c} Knapp Place (a town street) along a southerly
79.97 ft. portion which is situated in the Residential Zone
District, Hamlet of Greenport, Town of Southold.
Page 2 - Appeal No. 3915
Matter of JORDAN'S PARTNERS
Decision Rendered October 17,
1990
3. Since January 9, 1989, most of the subject premises
has been situated in the Residential-Office (RO) Zone District,
and only a small section (approximately .30 of an acre) has
been situated in the R-40 Residential Zone District. The entire
tract is vacant land, except for partially completed foundation
construction which includes footings and concrete wall extending
372.6 feet in an east-west direction.
4. Surrounded on its southerly and easterly beundaries are
residential communities in the R-40 Residential Zone District.
To the north are State Route 25, and to the north thereof a
preexisting restaurant located in the Limited Business (LB) Zone
District and residential communities in the R-40 Residential
Zone District. To the west are Main Street and residences in
residential use districts.
5. The following facts and events are additionally noted
for the record:
(a) On October 3, 1985, the Southold Town Board adopted a
moratorium concerning all business and industrial zone districts;
(b) On October 10, 1985, an application was pending before
the Southold Town Planning Board (referred to as "280 North
Road," applicant) and which was under a town-wide moratorium
affecting all business and industrial zone districts in the
pending "Master Plan Revisions";
(c) On October 22, 1985, the Town Board denied the
request of the applicant (by his attorney, John C. Tsunis,
for the requested Waiver under the provisions of Local Law
#14-1985 for the reason that the uses proposed were
inconsistent with the proposed Residential-Office Zone
District provisions~
Esq.)
(d) It is apparent that during 1985 and 1986, and up until
January 9, 1989 (the date of adoption of the new zoning regula-
tions), the subject premises was being considered by the Town
for a change in the zoning use district to Residential-Office
(from B-Light Business). In the applications before the
Town Board and Planning Board during the period from 1984
through 1985, a site plan dated September 9, 1985 was filed
for an office mall area in excess of 12,000 sq. ft., together
with retail stores and bank facility. (See copy of site
plan on file with the Southold Town Clerk and Planning Board).
Page 3 - Appl. No. 3915
Matter of JORDAN'S PARTNERS
Decision Rendered October 17,
1990
5. (e) Again, on January 13, 1986, John Tsunis, attorney for
the property owner, requested a second Waiver under the provisions
of the moratorium, and the record is clear, as is also shown in
the February 4, 1986 Town Board minutes and in its resolution
granting a waiver at the same meeting, that:
"...the applicant proposes to utilize the premises
to conform with the uses in a Residential-Office
Zone District... " (Emphasis added)
(f) Following the grant of the waiver to utilize the
premises to conform with the uses in a Residential-Office Zone
District, the applicant/property owner proceeded to make
amendments to the Planning Board under the site plan process.
(g) On June 23, 1986, the Planning Board adopted a resolu-
tion approving a site plan for the building and on-site changes.
It should be noted that although the Planning Board proceeded
under the site plan process, the Town Board waiver was strictly
for those uses which would conform to those in the Residential-
Office (RO) Zone District.
(h) It is noted for the record that the Planning Board is
and has always been without authority to consider a change of
uset change of zonet or use variancesr and the proper forum for
those requests are before the Town Board as a legislative agency
and/or Board of Appeals as a quasi-judicial agency.
(i) The applicant has also furnished the board with copies
of canceled checks, invoices, and a list of expenses which the
applicant asserts was expended during the course of this project.
The Board has evaluated the record and notes that the expenses
are not itemized and are without a clear breakdown for the total
claim, thus the Board questions the validity of some of these
claims, including real estate taxes on vacant land; fees for
consultants as well as attorney fees to review the town files
and represent the applicant in the proceeding before this
Board; certain expenses for real estate commissions
(which are normally paid by the seller rather than the
purchaser if the commissions were for the sale of the
premises); closing costs were not itemized; mortgage payments
with interest were claimed without specific time periods or any
breakdown as to how the figures were arrived at; the amount
given for the purchase of the land differs from that shown
in the Suffolk County real estate transfer records; insurance
expense was given without a breakdown as to type or coverage
or time periods covered; purpose of payment of corporate tax and
miscellaneous expenses was not provided; and the purpose of
incurring certain expenditures as a necessity in the process
to the extent charged is not provided.

Matter of JORDAN'S PARTNERS
Decision Rendered October 17,
1990
6. At this juncture, it is noted that on May 18, 1989,
approximately 2-1/2 years after receiving final site-plan
approval, an application for a building permit was filed with
the Town Building Department.
7. On June 8, 1989 Building Permit No. 18187Z was issued
by the Building Inspector's Office for an "office and retail
store shopping center." At the time the building permit was
issued, retail stores in the RO Zone District were not
allowed or permitted uses; and the building permit was
issued in error. Approximately three months later, the
footings and partial foundation construction was placed.
8. On November 30, 1989, a Stop Work Order was issued.
9. On January 31, 1990, this appeal application was filed
with the Office of the Board of Appeals and Town Clerk.
10. In addition to evaluating all documentation in
the Planning Board file, Town Clerk file, Assessors records,
County real estate records, and the Building Department
file, and documentation and testimony submitted in support
of the application, the board has also considered all
testimony and written material against the application, or
as otherwise presented by mail, in person or during the public
hearings. The public and the landowner were provided with full
opportunities to present their views.
11. Article VII, Section 100-7lB, Residential-Office Use
regulations of the Zoning Code do authorize several uses
proposed in the applicant's site plan construction project, to
wit: professional offices and business offices, by Special
Exception by the Board of Appeals subject to site plan
aDDroval by the Planning Board provided that not more
than one (1) use shall be allowed for each forty thousand
(40,000) square feet of lot area.
12. Article VII, Section 100-71B of the Residential-Office
(RO) does not, however, provide for retail stores or shops, and
certain retail uses are provided for in business zone districts
and then only as specified therein (i.e., Limited Business (LB),
Hamlet Business (HB), Business B, etc.)
13. In considering a use variance, the Court of Appeals has
set three requirements which must be clearly shown by the
evidence before the variance may be granted. First, that the
land cannot yield a reasonable return for allowable purposes;
second, the plight shall be due to unique circumstances and not
to the general conditions of the neighborhood which may reflect
the unreasonableness of the zoning ordinance; and third, that
the use sought by the variance will not alter the essential
character of the locality.
Page 5 - Appl. No. 3915
Matter of JORDAN'S PARTNERS
Decision Rendered October 17,
1990
14. With reference to the first requirement, there is
no doubt that the property owner has offered proof of many
expenditures during the entire site plan process, with excep-
tions as noted in paragraph 5(i), supra. This board will not
question that large sums of monies have been expended, but it
is questionable as to whether the sums paid were properly
applied in "dollars and cents proof," and whether some of the
sums paid were to the same individuals-who sold the property
and those that purchased the property. It appears that
one individual seller was also the purchaser in the property
transfers. Therefore, sufficient proof has not been furnished
showing a "proportioned" sales price proportioning a
part of the financial loss in this project. Also, the
record does not disclose any other individuals or parties
which have had a financial interest in the property which
might affect the sales prices over the years.
15. With reference to the second requirement, the Board
finds that the property owner has not proven that the subject
premises could not be used for other uses under the same
provision of the Residential-Office Use regulations (100-71B);
i.e. 100% professional offices and business offices as
compared to the partial (15,000 sq. ft.) proposal in the subject
project. In fact, the property owner is proposing to use the
premises and proposed building for permitted office uses (by
Special Exception). Additionally, other uses which are also
authorized by Special Exception in this Residential-Office
(RO) Zone District are residential use, funeral home use,
art galleries, museums, libraries, wineries. It is noted
that within a few short blocks of the subject property there
is a hospital and professional office building. The record is
clear, by the maps, that office use is feasible for future
construction on this vacant parcel. Appellant in the Board's
view did not establish that the present investment was inadequate
for professional/business office use; and it is well known that
due to the conditions of the economy throughout the North Fork,
land values have depreciated. It should be noted that
many of the expenses paid may also be applied to
professional/business office mall uses," and the landowner
has not been deprived of his right to use the land as zoned.
(Gordon v. Town of Huntington, 1962, 230 N.Y. S2d 619).
A landowner who seeks a use variance must demonstrate
factually, by dollars and cents proof, an inability to
realize a reasonable return under existinq permissible uses,
and not, however, in foreseeable context. Conclusory
testimony of a witness, unsupported and unsupplemented by
underlying concrete facts is not sufficient proof.
Page 6 - Appl. No. 3915
Matter of JORDAN'S PARTNERS
Decision Rendered October 17,
1990
16. With reference to the third requirement, it is the
opinion of this Board that the essential character of the
locality will be altered. The locality consists mostly of
single-family residences, and there is one preexisting
restaurant.
17. In considering this application, the Board also finds
and determines:
(a) sufficient proof has not been demonstrated as
required by the statutes to show that: (1) the property cannot
yield a reasonable return with underlying facts in dollars and
cents proof; (2) the burden of proof of unnecessary hardship or
that literal application of the zoning ordinance would result in
unnecessary hardship has not been sufficiently met (Otto v.
Steinhilber); (3) the use to be authorized will not alter
the essential character of the locality;
(b) the uses proposed are not permitted uses in this
zone district and will not be in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance;
(cD the current uses of the property and the zone
district regulations are not so restricted that the premises
could not be used for reasonable purposes;
(d) the Board does not dispute that the circumstances
and events which have taken place are unique;
(e) the property in question is centrally located in
center of other Residential Zone Districts, and although the
Residential-Office Zone District does permit office use as well
as residential use;
(f) this Board cannot under the semblance of a
variance exercise legislative powers;
(g) the denial of this use variance will not
cause a building to be destroyed or replaced since the
land is vacant with the exception of the foundation
wall/footings as mentioned previously;
(h) this variance may not be granted because the
applicant claims a higher return for retail uses rather than
office use or other uses authorized in this RO use district;
Page 7 - Appl. No. 3915
Matter of JORDAN'S PARTNERS
Decision Rendered October 17,
1990
(i) Good faith reliance on an invalid permit does not
automatically entitle the applicant to a variance {See Rejman v.
Welch, 112 AD2d 795, 492 NYS2d 295 (1985, 4th Dept.)};
(j) The issue of a use variance is not whether
the use as presently zoned is the most profitable use, but
merely whether that use will yield a reasonable return,
(see Bellanca v. Gates, 97 AD2d 971, 468 NYS2d 774 (1983,
4th Dept.), affd. 61 NYS 2d 878, 474 NYS2d 480, 462 NE2d 1198.)
(k) An application for a change of zone is not
without merit and has not been exhausted.
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Mr. Dinizio, seconded by
Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to DENY the relief requested in the Matter of the
Application of JORDAN'S PARTNERS under Appl. No. 3915, for the
reasons stated above.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen,
Grigonis and Dinizio. (Member Sawicki was absent.) This
resolution was duly adopted.

petitioners and has made it of no use to the petitioners.
The plaintiff's seek injunctive relief declaratory relief
and compensatory damages.

RE:
Tsunis, et al.
Jordan's Partners
Greenport Commmns
2 August 1990
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
From Mr. G. Goehringer's secretary, we've learned that the Jordan'.s Partners case has been
tossed BACK INTO YOUR COURT. Whyever for? This is another case of planned usage directly
violating the Master Plan. And common sense.
For the Record: We are vehemently opposed to the strip mailing(mauling?) of Southold Town.
Downto~n Greenport(rife with vacant business properties), her local business people and her local
populace will be the big losers, if this gang of outsiders prevails. Economically unsound,
Greenport Commons is antagonistic to our planning goals and focus...as well as, our shared rural
environment. One developer's short-term greed will, however, be satisfied...for the moment.
Jordan's Partners; Tsunis, et al.is not alone. Most developers share their modus operandi.
Buy land. Abjure rules and regulations that impinge on maximized profitability. When in doubt
or when constraints are in place, ruthlessly despoil the landscape(kill trees, defoliate, shove
dirt around, start rudimentary foundations, etc. ad nauseam. All, I might add, at magnificently
inflated, developer-concocted "costs-out-of-pocket".). The hope,here,is that the usual local
apathy and the "well-it's-too-late-now" mentality will deaden the opposition. If found out,
though, said developer claims ignorance of the process and its strictures. The newly chastened
one's "woe-is-me" whine soon escalates into the outraged scream of "hardship"! What mockery and
arrogance. Why do land speculators get special treatment?
Allowing wholesale(literally and figuratively) exceptions to the rule---our hard won Master
Plan...is corrosive to the public trust. It is expensive for the taxpayer, time-consuming for
the jugglers of local officialdom and mortgages our future. It must stop.
Read the Letters-to the-Editor, go to public meetings or social gatherings and it's obvious
that the natives are restless. And cynical about just who is taking care of whom. When ALL
public officials are elected and, therefore, accountable, is the day when access will be
equitable and the rule of law...observed. With a well-oiled patronage machine in place, putting
in the "fix" or exerting undue influence is easy. Just the way to §et things done. But for
whom? It is damn well time for Real Estate...manipulators and stooges..to get out of the
business of government. .Conflict of interest must be exposed and eradicated. The guys that can
be got to, ought to be gotten out.
Further on this tack, isn't it time that Real Estate investments be treated like any other.
Some you win. Some you lose. Why is is that our Town is always left holding the bag? Pleading
hardship and the mitigating circumstance is ludicrous but it seems to work. Real property
investments evoke priviled§e, i.e. private law (from the Latin). Yet, this "priviledge" is not
sacrosanct. Common Law does evolve! Land speculators and "improvers" who plunder the
commonweal should NOT be protected.
Page 2.
Take this Tsunis( or Jordan's Partners or whatever corporate umbrella they wiggle). His is
a case in direct violation of the Town Planning Code. How legally prescient and morally
satisfying to penalize the fellow. Make him compensate SoutholdTown for time wasted. For the
eyesore across from Porky's(how come we don't have a Tree ordinance like East Hampton???). For
the display of mindful arrogance and cite him for contempt. Tsunis should be jumping through
the legal hoops, not the Town. Jordan's Partners should be spending its time and money and
energy to get things right, not the Town. It is Southold, particularly the villagers of
Greenport, who should be seeking redress and crying foul.

July 27, 1990
The following is in response to the Zoning Board of
Appeals' memorandum of June 29, 1990, requesting the Planning
Board's evaluation of the site plan for the above referenced
property. The evaluation is based on the present
Residential/Office (RO) District Zoning. The site plan was
approved under the prior zoning code. However, the site plan is
not valid under the current code.
The proposed use of the property for office and retail
stores is not a permitted use by right in the Residential/Office
(RO) District.
However, if the proposed use were to be limited to a use
(or uses) permitted by Special Exception, e.g., professional and
business offices, then the site plan could be reviewed in that
light.
The Special Exception section permits one use for every
40,000 square feet of land area. Since the site is more than
4.6 acres in area, the applicant could apply for 5 separate
special exception uses, e.g. 5 offices.
The site plan before your Board shows 29,000 square feet of
building area. If you use i parking space for every 100 square
feet of gross floor area as a standard for offices,
approximately 290 spaces would be required.
Page 2
Greenport Commons/Jordan's Partners
~owever, the site plan shows 203 parking spaces based on
"usable" floor area of 20,300 square feet. The use of the
remaining 8,700 square feet which represents 30% of the total
floor area, is not designated but presumably would be used for
storage.
If the number of office uses is restricted to 5, it may be
possible to allow for a reduction in the number of parking
spaces that would be required to be installed. A corresponding
increase in the landscaping area would help mitigate the impact
of the project on this intersection..
The site plan meets all other setback and bulk requirements
for the Residential Zoning District.
This review is not to be construed as site plan approval or
endorsement of same. If the Zoning Board of Appeals sees fit to
grant one or more Special Exception uses, the Planning Board
reserves the right to review a new site plan application and to
process it as it would any other site plan.

'REASON FOR APPEAL
Continued
I. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
sary HARDSHIP because the applicant will be unable to yeild a reasonable return
inasmuch as the purchase price paid for the land was based on an appraised value
takinR into consideration the fact that the land was (then) zoned for Business
Use. Additionally, site plan approval had been obtained for a proposed ShoppinR
Center and substantial time and money have been invested in pursuinR the develop-
ment of a Shoupin~ Center at this site. Finally, a buildinR permit was issued
and construction of the center has commenced.
2. The hardship created is UNIQUE and is not ~'hared by all properties alike in the immediate
vicinity of this property and in this use district because this oarcel is the only parcel in
the immediate vicinity that had been zoned for business use and was subsequently
chanRed to Resident/Office use.
3. The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because the parcel is located on the corner of a major
intersection (State Route 25 and Main Street) with an already heavy traffic f~ow.
Porky's Restaurant is directly across the street from the proposed center and is a
hiRh volume landmark restaurant with substantial patroname. Additionally, the
architecture of the center will blend in well with
the surroundinR area. In fact, a center nearly identical in style develooed by
the applicant's orincipal in Mt. Sinai was the recipient of an historical society
architectural award for design excellence.

Supervisor Scott L. Harris
Southold Town Hall
Main Road
Southold, New York 11971
Dear Supervisor Harris:
good planning and supportive
We are a community group devoted to
of the Greenport downtown business district. There is a
variance request co Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals that
would be devastating for downtown Greenport: Jordan Partners'
"Greenporc Commons". We do not want Greenport CO be victimized
by a Building Department error. (They issued a permit for
retail construction contrary to the passage of the Master Plan
by Souchold's Councilmen which ruled it a residential/office
zone.)
It would be a serious error for the ZBA to undermine the Town
Councilmen's responsibility for zoning. We hope the Southold
Councilmen and Planning Board will meet with Greenport officials
and citizen groups to come up with a solution. In the meantime,
we respectfully ask you to advise the ZBA that you do not want
to abdicate zoning responsibility to chat appointed board and
that they should deny the variance and refer Jordan Partners to
the elected officials for a zone change.
The public should be consulted and involved in the process of
pursuing other uses for this property thaC would both benefit
Southold Town and the Village and not unduly penalize the
applicant for his ultimate responsibility in not researching
the legality of his actions. We would welcome the opportunity
to participate in any discussions or meetings on this matter.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Re: Greenport Commons
Dear Sir:
The following is the text of a statement made before
the Zoning Board of Appeals at its March 15th hearing on
the above subject, and signed by a number of Greenport and
East Marion residents:
"The proposed Greenport Commons complex is an example of
the kind of misuse of our open spaces which the long-awaited
Master Plan was designed to prevent. The construction at
this important intersection of yet another row of stores and
offices, offering goods and services of the type already
abundantly available within the Village itself and elsewhere
nearby, would not only adversely affect Greenport's commercial
center but would needlessly and unalterably damage the rural
character of the whole area.
"There are at present numerous stores and offices in
Greenport and throughout Southold Town--including space in the
newer malls--that remain empty after more than a year, some
much longer. This proposed development has been extremely
unpopular in.the community at large, has been criticized in
the press and chambers of commerce. It has nothing new or
attractive to offer (except to the developers who will
take their profits and move on, leaving us with the mess).
It is opposed by environmentalists as well as those who care
about preservation of the historic and rustic charm of the
North Fork. And, it is in conflict with the Master Plan which
went into effect in January, 1989.
"Yet a building permit was issued last Spring. Inexplicably,
this error went apparently undetected until after the foundations
had begun. It is difficult to believe that Jordan's Partners
remained totally unaware all along of the illegality of the
situation and even harder to understand why the Town waited so
long to take the stop-work action.
"Granting the requested variance now on the grounds of
financial hardship suffered by Mr. Tsunis will only compound
the effor and set a very sorry precedent. It will very likely
open the way for further exceptions to the rule and future
-2-
random commercial invasion to the west and east along a stretch
of highway that has so far managed to escape the blight of
suburban sprawl.
"We urge that the requested variance be denied."
Now, three months later, because of continued public
opposition and increased awareness of environmental and economic
concerns, it seems unlikely that Greenport Commons will become
a reality. The problem remains of what to do about this parcel,
currently in a ravaged condition; how to reasonably compensate
Mr. Tsunis for his costs thus far and how to appropriately use
this large area in a way which will benefit Town residents and
not violate the essential character of Greenport, upon which
tourism on the North Fork depends to a large extent.
Perhaps some combination of needed housing and recreational
space can be the solution. Or a public park with tennis courts,
etc. and hourly fees. In any case, the residents of the Town
should be allowed a voice in the final decision. Increasingly,
people are dismayed by the waste of precious open land and resources
sacrificed forever to foolhardy projects. Here, we have a second
chance. Let's make the most of it.

The following is in response to the Appeals Board request
for the Planning Board's comments on the above referenced
application for a variance, application No. 3915.
The Planning Board is not in favor of granting a variance
to construct a shopping center in this residential office zone.
The Master Plan completely considered all factors when the
zone was changed from business to residential office. The Board
is in favor of the present zoning.
['n~r Gerard F. Goel%ringer, Chairman:
In regard %0 appeal No. 3915- Jordan'S PartnerS, Oreenpor%
Cor~ons shopping center, please disapprove his request for reta~
stores. The 5~ster Plan was revised on this land which was top
priority. The town changed the zoning of the property in an elf
to limit development of the area and preserve more open space.
At a time when Long Island is becoming overdeveloped- Lets holc
the pressure. The !~!aster plan took alot of time and money. We
don't want to set a precedent overriding the zoning ordiance.
This shopping center will have an environmental impact to

Enclosed June 27, 1988 Letter to Joseph Sawicki from Former
Regional Director, Michael J. Cuddy - Our Request for a
Three Color Traffic Signal at the Intersection of County
Road 48 and Main Street in Greenport
Dear Mr. Kuzloski:
During 1987 and 1988 on behalf of residents of the Sound
Road vicinity in Greenport I requested that your Department
perform a study as to the feasibility of implementing a three
color traffic signal at the potentially dangerous intersection of
County Road 48 and Main Street in Greenport. Enclosed is the
final response to our quest dated June 27, 1988 in the form of a
letter from your predecessor. Specifically, in the last
paragraph on the first page of that letter, Mr. Cuddy addressed
the new condominium subdivision, as well as future retail stores,
and the impact it would have on this intersection. He indicates
that when and if the condominiums and retail center are built,
that a traffic signal will be installed. He also indicates that
the developer will be responsible for improvements to the
existing traffic signal.
From all indications, the new condominium complex is
scheduled to begin construction soon; and to further complicate
the situation, the new 29,000 square foot shopping mall has
already begun construction. Enclosed please find for your
information the advertisement indicating that "Greenport
Commons" will be available soon.
Apparently, the Southold Town Planning Board has indicated
to residents of the Sound Road area that they had no knowledge of
Mr. Cuddy's indication that the developer was to install.such a
new three color traffic light at this very .dangerous
intersection. As you can see, time is now of the essence,-since
!
Mr. James Kuzloski
Page Two
April 3, 1990
these two new traffic generating plans will impose a great
amount of traffic congestion and confusion at this intersection.
Would you please have your Department investigate this
matter again and contact the Southold Town Planning Board, if
necessary, if the developer must install the three color traffic
signal. In any event, I must reiterate to you how important a
traffic signal is at this intersection, especially with the
upcoming projects just months away.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter, and I
eagerly await your response so I can pass it along to those
concerned residents in the Sound Road area, as well as to the
other town residents who must travel this intersection.

~ p~_ proposed shopping center just out-

fallen into a legal limbo.
While the foundation has been.
poured for the 29,000-square-foot
Oreenport Commons shopping center,
it is being constructed in an area zoned
fo~ residential use.
And. while the Southold Town braid-.
ing department originally had issued a
building permit for the $2-million shop-
ping center-- which is strongly opposed
by merchants in the village-- the town
later ordered the work stepped.
The developer, John Tsunis, went be-
fore Southold's zoning board of appeals
Thursday night, asking for permmsion
to complete his shopping center. The
board voted to adjourn the henrin~tbr
a month, until the matter
viewed by the town att~rney~'~7~
The shopping center is one of several
projects blocked by resonings that fol-
lowed the town's master plan review.'

zouth side of 'Main Road and Main

mercial uso but was rezoned for one acrS'of realden-

said Tsunis was attempting "an end run -

Another issue, yet to be resolved is
whether the proposed shopping center

Dear Mr. Grippo:
As per our telephone conversation on Thursday, July 28th, I
both reviewed the file for the above-referenced project and
discussed same with the Planning Board.
The site plan was approved in 1986. The approval still
appears to be valid at this particular point in time. The
policy, copy enclosed, of which I and my staff spoke, pertains to
all site plans seeking approval from the Board. In the future,
site plan approval will be granted after water (and sewer)
contracts, have been satisfied to the Village's standards.
However, for site plans with approvals already, the issuance
of a building permit is still dependent on written notification
by the Village to the Town that all terms of the water and sewer
contract b~ave been met to its satisfaction. The Village's May
16th letter'to John Tsunis indicates that there are no contracts
for ~ter os sewer in effect at this time.
I trust this answers ~o~r' questions.
Sincerely,
Valerie Scopaz

Your proposed project of a 29,000 square foot Shopp~-ng and Office
Ma1! with water and sewer services has been under study with the
Village of Greenport since 1986. .
Sewer service with the Village of G~eenport is 'hot available at
this time. Your projected sewer load was 2,022 gallons per day. You
should make other arrangements for sewage d!sposal.
Water service will be supplied by the Village Water Department
at your projected load of 3,000 gal/day with a peak demand of 30 gal/min.
When we have the capability to serve you, we will enter into a contract.
We should be in a position to enter into a contract within the coming
year.
If I may be of further service, please call.

Gentlemen.
There are two projects under consideration in and near East
Marion that give rise to grave concern among local residents
interested in maintaining the quiet, charming quality of life
presently enjoyed.
The proposed Greenport Commons on Route 25 will require tearing
down trees for an unwanted and unnecessary shopping center. The
proposed fast food restaurants means increased traffic congestion
and litter. Greenport Commons will forever alter the natural
environment at that site.
The Cove Estates project in East Marion is of even greater
concern. There is fear of irreversible environmental damage if
upwards of 24 homes are built on that property. The resulting
water and sewage problems plus traffic congestion would forever
alter the desirable characteristics of this unique town. No one
would object to a few custom homes, but 24 or more homes is
totally inappropriate use of the land.
Also a good argument could be made to continue allowing public
access to the beautiful beach there, regardless of what is built.
I sincerely hope that the greed of a few will not override the
interests of present residents concerned about the vanishing,
natural environment and quality of life on this end of the North
Fork.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Pedersen

Re:
Site Plan for
"280 North Road"
Dear Mr. Gruber:
Please let this confirm the following action taken by
the Southold Town Planning Board, Monday, June 9, 1986.
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board refer
the site plan for 280 North Road, Greenport for the
construction of office and retail stores located at
R~"+~e 44~, to the Building Department for certification.
Survey dated April 23, 1986.
Upon further review of the site plan, some site plan
elements are not indicated'. Would you please add the following
site plan elements to the plan and forward six (6) prints
to our office so we may make the necessary referral to the
Building Department:
-Landscaping or screening on the southerly
and easterly property lines
-Location of proposed signs
-Location of loading areas.
-Location of Outdoor lighting
-Location of utilities coming onto the property
-Actual retail sales area. It appears that
there is a discrepancy inthe site data, the
retail sales is indicated as 29,000 square
feet and also 30,000 square feet.
Robert Gruber Page 2 6/11/86
Please note,these site plan elements are required pursuant
to Section 100-134 of the Town Code.
Would you also provide a copy of the curb cut approval
when it has been obtained. Thank you.
Please contact this office if you have any questions.

Re: "280 North Road"
Dear Mr. Gruber:
Please let this confirm our conversation of May 6,
1986 regarding the above mentioned site plan, and the
comments of Richard G. Ward, Planning Board member.
It appears that the location of the building with
respect to the 20' ingress and egress would create a problem
with exists and entrances into the rear of the building.
It is suggested that the building be moved North to allow
for more circulation around the building. The concept
indicated by the enclosed map shows vehicular circulation
completely around the building or buildings. The campus
style layout is preferred, however, if one building is
insisted upon by the applicant it would be better if it
were centered on the site.
Enclosed is a site plan for your review and consideration.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to
contact our office.
Very truly yours,

The Planning Board had an informal discussion with Mr~. Gruber
the architect for "280 North Road" on September 19, 1985.
Mr. Gruber presented renderings depicting his clients proposal,
which was revised to provide for office space and retail space.
The Boardmembers present noted that they had previously requested
that this proposal consist entirely of office space and recommended
that Doctor's office be located here to support the hospital.
Mr. Gruber explained that for financial reasons, his client
was amenable to having some offices, but not all. This current
proposal was split into approximately 50% office area and
%50 retail area.
It was noted that the Planning Board had previously requested
that the project be broken up into smaller units and the applicant
was now presenting the same plan as the first one submitted
with no change in the layout.
Mr. Gruber presented a rendering of the facade and stated
that he was proposing berms and landscaping to buffer the
parking.
The Boardmembers noted that it still was not in compliance
with what was requested and since some of the members were
not present it was requested that Mr. Gruber leave the material
for their review.

Re: Greenport Mall
Dear Mr. Wetmore:
This will confirm our informational meeting of Friday, May
4, pertaining to your submission for a proposal known
as Greenport Mall.
People present from the Planning Board were Mr. Latham,
Mr. Mullen, professional planner Mr. Emilita and the writer.
We direct your attention to the following:
1. Too heavy a concentration for the area involved with
approximately 22 stores.
2. The parkinq area on the South side is not possible due to
the residential classification of the area.
3. It is suggested that you give consideration to a possible
professional and/or medical center, including the laboratory
support facilities, to be perhaps an assistance to the hospital
and medical professions in the,Town of Southold.
4. A project possibly of smaller nature is now in operation
on the North side of Route 25 in Aquebogue.
If you desire to pursue this matter further with your principals,
we are at your service.
_k~c~y truly yours,
