Chairperson Woodhouse: We have a number of public hearings tonight. There will be
opportunities for the public to address the Board. We ask that when you would like to
speak, when it's time to do so, that you step up to either of the two microphones; there
is a piece of paper there and a pen. Please print your name clearly so that when we
transcribe our minutes we have an accurate record as to who you are.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 O.m. Matt-a-Mar Marina Exoansion: This proposed amended site plan is for new
boat storage building of 28,480 sq. ft. and new 2-story office of 6,778 sq. ft. on an 8.5-
acre parcel in the M-II Zone located on the w/s/o Wickham Avenue approximately 210'
n/o Freeman Avenue, known as 2255 Wickham Ave in Mattituck. SCTM#1000-114-3-1
Is there anyone here who would like to speak on behalf of the applicant?
Patricia Moore: I have with me this evening Michael and Monica Raynor, the owners of
the property, and Brett Kehl from East End Design Associates, to answer any questions
the Board might have. This has been a very long process. I know at the work session
you talked about how we worked with the Board to try to give you the best plan
possible. This is an existing marina with an existing building that had gotten full site
plan approval. We came in to amend the original site plan to include the addition of the
boat building, remove the old office and put in a nice office as part of the addition. We
have provided for additional landscaping. We have incorporated a great deal of
landscaping into this project. We have also provided a great deal of drainage to this
project. One issue which came up at the work session I do want to put on the record:
we did submit the LWRP form back in June '05. The Code provides that you have a
30-day window where if you do not have a response you have a right, through
incorporating it into the resolution, you adopt the LWRP policies so you don't have to
delay projects where there has already been a 30-day wait. Given that it started in
June, we have had much more than 30 days. Also, the LWRP, the SEQRA process,
we have been reviewed very extensively on this project and, at this point, you should
feel comfortable that the project you approve will withstand any challenge. We are
certainly comfortable with that. So, we hope that you will act on the application. We
have made an application to the Health Department. It is pending only for the SEQRA.
It is ready to be approved but we are awaiting the SEQRA resolution in order to get our
final Health Department approval. DEC had approved this a long time ago; Trustees
had approved this as well a very long time ago. The pollution control plan was
completed, we have an NOI and I will provide that for the Board tomorrow. If I find it
tonight I will give it to you tonight, but otherwise I will submit it. But we do have
everything ready. As I said, the Health Dept. is the only reason we don't have the
approval is because we don't have the SEQRA determination, and that has been a long
wait. I will sit down to entertain any questions you might have, and we thank you for
your cooperation and look forward to building. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Three February 13. 2006
Paul Murphv: Good evening. I am a resident of Brower Woods Section, Mattituck. We
want to go on record, myself personally, and the members of the Brower Woods
Association, that we are against the request of the Matt-a-Mar Marina, and we have a
letter here outlining the reasons why we think it should not be granted. Should I read
the letter or just hand it to you?
Ken Edwards: Read it.
Chairperson Woodhouse: You can read the letter if it's a short letter.
Paul Murphv: Yes. "Dear Planning Board Members: I am the past president and
present member of the Brower Woods Homeowners Association. This correspondence
is to confirm my objection and the objections of many of my neighbors to Matt-a-Mar
Marina on the Sound's present application to expand the storage facilities. Specific
objections are as follows: the present proposal does not conform to the parking
requirements of the Town Code. The applicant's submission indicates that 247 parking
places are required. The present proposal does not provide for those parking spaces.
The proposed map that was forwarded to my neighbors yesterday shows 55 spaces
along the southern boundary as existing spaces. These spaces do not exist and that
area is used for boat storage. Further, it appears the required 9' width is not provided
for with regard to those spaces. The map we examined did not show the area where
the boat racks are located. Before the Trustees, there was a representation that these
racks would be along the north and west sides of the existing storage building, which
was to decrease the impact and maintain the residential atmosphere of the surrounding
areas. I understand that there was a representation at the time that the storage racks
were temporary and would be removed no later than May. It is my observation and
other members of the Association, that the racks have not been removed since
construction. I am unable to tell from the proposed map provided to the neighbors if
there are parking spaces proposed or represented as existing in that area. But if there
is, the space should not be counted. In any event, the placement of the storage racks
should be part of the Board's requirements and the racks, if permitted, should be
required to be placed along the storage buildings in accordance with the representation
made to the Trustees. It is rumored that an element of the proposal is to provide for
parking spaces within the storage structure. The storage area requires parking spaces;
hence, the area cannot serve as a parking area that is required before the storage
space is approved. The result is contrary to the Code. In addition, a parking garage is
not permitted use in the zoning district wherein the property is located. Yours very truly,
Paul Murphy."
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Would anybody like to respond to that?
Patricia Moore: With regard to the boat racks, I will remind the Board that the seasonal
boat racks that are actually on the northeast side of the property did not require site
plan approval pursuant to the Building Department's determination. However, the
Planning Board, during the process of getting the site plan, asked us to place on the
site plan the area of the temporary seasonal boat racks. A marina is a seasonal use.
In the winter, the boats are stored in racks, shrink wrapped, and by May people are
-- -

screaming to have their boats in the water. Michael Raynor can testify for the Board
that the racks do come down and the boats are prepared for summer season. Again,
that was not a requirement of the Building Department; however we voluntarily put it on
the site plan. With respect to parking, our zoning code is excessive in the
determination of parking. The boat storage building is covering an area that is already
in use for the repairs to the boats. It has not generated additional parking; it will not
generate additional parking because it is covering an area that is already in use.
However, because the code asks us to label each of the parking spaces, we placed the
extra parking spaces inside the boat storage building. Again, because it's a seasonal
use, there is flexibility in the placement of parking. It is crushed stone parking so, to the
extent that it's 9' vs. 10' in fact, the parking spaces, if you look at the northeast parking
area, are actually identified as 10' parking spaces, correct?
Ken Edwards: Correct.
Patricia Moore: So, they are more than 9'. We have, I think through a very thorough
review with Bruno and staff, allocated over the top in parking needs. Remember, this is
an amendment to an existing site plan. The use of the restaurant is the same as it was
before. The boat storage area is a continuation of a use that's already there. The
office is replacing an office that was already there. So, because our code requires us to
meet the literal description of the code and the site plan has to identify the parking
spots, we do that. And this site plan accomplishes that. However, common sense also
tells you that on the seasonal use, this parking is more than what is necessary. In fact,
I had Michael Raynor provide in affidavit form, proof to the Board in your file as to the
actual use and we gave you actual numbers during the height of the season as to what
the parking needs are of the property. So, we appreciate Browers Woods' comments,
but we think they have been addressed; the Board has already considered those
comments before they were raised and the site plan does provide for it. The parking
calculations affidavit was during Memorial Day Weekend, which was peak season.
Michael Ravnor: The boat racks are there exactly what we discussed with Mike Verity.
We signed off "no site plan requirement" and the Building Department accepted that
boat racks are way gone by May and they're back up I'd say in November because
that's when everybody's coming out of the water. Are there any questions for me?
Bruno Semon: the Board needs to be aware that the Building Department did weigh in
on that; that was a different site plan application; it was an amended application just for
the boat racks. The boat racks that were actually applied for at that time did not need a
site plan under the current status of the Building Department and are being included on
this site plan just for location to show that they are there, but do not even need a
building permit.
Brett Kehl: According to the Town, we are required 247 parking spots and we have
come up with 252 by using the buildings, but we found out that even during our peak
time, it wasn't even anywhere close to that, not even half, that was required. But we
have a lot that we've land-banked, just so that we could let trees grow instead of clear
cutting everything. On our drainage, we have left a lot of gravel areas for porous
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Five February 13. 2006
material to allow the rain to go into the ground, plus we have also put in rinas to make
sure there was no runoff, so we're covered both ways and we've actually doubled the
amount of drainage we have. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application? Yes, sir?
Paul Murphv: This shouldn't be an arguing contest or anything like that. We go by the
Town Code, and where they said it was 247 parking spaces. 55 of the parking spaces
are so outlined on the map we received on the south side of the present storage
building extending 450' from the start to the western end of it. But the area they're
talking about, if any of the people right here or anybody in the audience would like to go
down and physically look at what they're saying where they would put 55 parking things
is probably a virtual impossibility to put a minimum of 16' x 9' which the Town requests
for parking spaces, and a 16' alley way; they would be halfway out in the water up
Peter's Creek. So it's absolutely sinful that they can make statements like that.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Mr. Semon, you have the map in front of you, could you
respond to that?
Bruno Semon: Mr. Murphy, I'm not certain if you're looking at the same site plan that
we currently have. Did you look at the one that's out on the window? Because on the
south side of the site plan that's being approved by the Planning Board, or looked at...
Paul Murphv: Who's talking?
Bruno Semon: Sir, it's me, actually on the left or right side, right here. I just want to let
you know that there are 25 car spaces shown on the south side of the property of the
building, and they are running parallel with the bulkhead.
Paul Murphv: The map was just handed to me this weekend. Somebody gave it to us
this weekend.
Patricia Moore: OK. (showing him the map) Here are the 20' spaces; they run parallel
to the bulkhead, they run along the bulkhead.
Paul Murphv: I'm sorry then, because the one we have are perpendicular.
Patricia Moore: Oh. All right, I know. They're very, very old.
Paul Murphv: This is the one that was handed to us, and this is why we are down here
wondering why. The reason we are doing this, not to be lousy neighbors or anything
else. Since time immemorial, this Matt-a-Mar Marina has flaunted, in my opinion, every
law and every request ever made by the Town to do things. The building was put up too
high, too close to the water. Magically, the Trustees, the Zoning Board, the Planning
Board approved everything. We were told the racks were going to be put up
---- ------------
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Six February 13. 2006
perpendicular to the north side and west side of the building, so it would maintain some
semblance of a non-commercial business spoiling the residential looks of the
surrounding neighborhood. These are all the things we were concerned about. We
were concerned about the additional traffic being generated by making twice or over
twice the amount of storage. Common sense says if you have twice the amount of
boats stored there, you should have twice the amount of traffic going in and out of a
road that is made very dangerous, to be polite, and very accident-prone, to be specific.
These are our concerns. Not the concerns to do away with anybody having a legitimate
good business, but to live the way the Town has cause and everything, to live to what
our requests and thoughts are. We're not just there to pay taxes and to allow
businesses to do what they want to do. We are not doing anything about the present
owners; the previous owners were not just as bad but were at fault in a lot of things.
We don't know anything about the present owners now except that they are requesting
approval of the Planning Board to do something we personally think is not right. That's
all. Thank you.
Bruno Semon: Just one last thing for the Board to be aware of. That application for the
boat racks was under the previous owner, it is not under the current owner. It's
actually being closed out if this goes forward and being eliminated at this point,
withdrawn.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I'm sorry, what would be eliminated?
Bruno Semon: That amended site plan application for the boat racks, which we can't
process anyway.
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK. Is there anyone else who has a comment or question
for the Board? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to close this hearing.
Georae Solomon: So moved.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there a second?
Joseph Townsend: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? And the motion carries. We are going to read
the resolutions, and those of you who are here from the community, I want you to listen
carefully as we read the resolutions. But first, in doing so, Mr. Solomon, would you add
the "Whereas, the following five items shall be required"?
Georae Solomon: Sure.
Chairperson Woodhouse: These are the conditions that are part of this resolution.

you don't say new signs in the resolution, you just say signs.

Paul Murphv: That's exactly right. Now, does it say anything about the waterways?

*******************************************************
6:05 D.m. - 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 n/s/o Main Bayview Road, approximately 325' e/o Smith Drive South in
Southold. SCTM# 1000-78-7-5.3 & 5.4
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there someone here who would like to speak on behalf of
this application? Is there anyone who would like to speak on this application?
Mark Baxter: I don't really have anything to say; all my paperwork has been filed. I
don't really have much to say about it. All the paperwork that we have done over the
last three years, you have it in your files.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone who has a question for Mr. Baxter? Yes.
Eric Auer: I live on the corner. I am opposing this. I would have liked to know what his
original setback was when he built his house. I have pictures of the property where he
wants to build, yesterday what it looked like; it was under water. (Pictures are passed
South old Town Plannina Board Paae Thirteen February 13. 2006
around to the Board Members) I don't know if you want to keep this in your file or
something. I have even more pictures. As you can tell, it is surrounded by water. This
one looks at the back of his yard. This is what it looks like. Cattails. More water. The
pictures speak for themselves, I really don't. I'd like to know where was the wetlands
line back then when he built his house.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Have the Trustees looked at this?
Eric Auer: I don't think; I don't know.
Anthonv Trezza: Two things; with respect to the Trustees looking at this property, we
have in the file from the Trustees, they went out and verified the wetlands lines as
depicted on the survey. They even went back and made them change the line, we
made them revise the survey. So the Trustees did go out there. I am not suggesting
that there isn't flooding; I believe that there is water there. So we do have that on
record from the Trustees; they even went so far as to say that the proposed residence
is over 100' from their wetlands line and therefore no permit needed from the Trustees.
Of course, I think that the Building Department will send it back to them, a
determination when they actually go to get a building permit. As for the original setback
for the wetlands, this was brought to my attention today, but we cannot get into the
system to take a look at the original permit at this time. So, I'll go through what I
recommend after the public speaks, but we don't know what the original permit had on
there as a wetlands line.
Eric Auer: Is there a DEC permit for this land? Can I get that number?
Anthonv Trezza: Yes, it's in the file.
Eric Auer: Approved?
Anthonv Trezza: It's for I believe a subdivision, not for the construction. We get a
permit for the subdivision. The Building Department, when they go to get a building
permit, should be asking for the DEC permit, too. Or a letter of non-jurisdiction or some
docu mentation.
Eric Auer: Can we at least look into the soil samples that were taken there? As far as I
know, that was spoiled from the dredging.
Anthonv Trezza: It comes up as filled land, if you look on the soil survey it does show
up, even on our system...
Eric Auer: And how would the fill get there? How would topsoil and sand get there?
Would it just magically appear?
Chairperson Woodhouse: The proposal before us is to subdivide the 6.789-acre parcel
into two lots: Lot 1 will equal 4.4417 acres and Lot 2 will equal 2.3841 acres. This is
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Fourteen February 13, 2006
just the subdivision part of this piece of land. Is there anyone else who would like to
address the Board on this subdivision?
Wavne Swiatocha: I am a very good friend of Paula Ohlman who has lived two lots
away from Mr. Baxter for 40 years. And her grandmother lived adjacent to Mr. Baxter.
Her daughter, Mrs. Carasotto, received a letter about this subdivision and we started
looking into it a little bit. Just to give you a little bit of; I won't get into all the wetlands
acts and all those things, I know NYS is trying to save wetlands; I know that in Article 14
Section 4 the New York Constitution mandates protection of State's wetlands. And I
would say that the importance of the wetlands of course is for marine food production,
wildlife habitat, flood and storm and hurricane control, recreation cleansing ecosystems
and open space and aesthetic appreciation. I would say that under aesthetic
appreciation, there are three houses that look directly at this site. If they are looking out
onto wetlands I think they consider that a big value to their property. To put a house
out in the middle of that I think they would find intrusive. Also, these wetlands originally
and I am just going to bring this up: I have a few pictures that were taken in the 1960's.
In these pictures you can see that there was water. This was before this water was
dredged. It will show that this land, before it was dredged, the wetlands came almost
up to the back of these houses. When the wetland was dredged, and you can see on
that picture that I drew, a dredge line all around the wetlands. I know they no longer do
that in Southold Town, but back in the '60's they did do that. There is a break in that
dredge and you can see on that picture that part of this has really regenerated itself as
wetlands. And basically that's just those pictures, from what it looked like before the
dredging was actually done. And I think that most people agree that you do not dump
dredged soil on wetlands anymore. That doesn't happen; it's dredged and put
someplace else. Whether it ever should have been done in the first place, I don't know.
It probably shouldn't have. And there's a whole dyke that runs all along that, that you
can see, where it's all dredged soil behind that.
The next thing I'd like to show you is just some pictures from 1993 that were taken.
With those pictures on those maps I have indicated by number where those pictures
were taken from and in what direction the pictures were taken. I know that FEMA says
that this land has a 25% chance of flooding in a 30-year mortgage. Well, this land
flooded yesterday, it flooded in November, it has flooded numerous times and '93 was
one of the worst floods. I think those pictures speak volumes as to what it was like in
'93.
The next thing I would like to show is: now the first picture that I handed you is an
overhead aerial view probably taken in the last four or five years, 'cause it's from
Google Images. The other picture was probably taken in the 70's and is the actual
DEC classification of the area. They put it down as dredged spoil. I think you can see
that outer bank where the dyke is that has been broken through. I would also ask you
to compare the DEC picture before Mr. Baxter's house was built, which is mostly
woods, and you see marsh behind it. You also see that Mr. Baxter has cut down
cattails behind his house. As neighbors, I think the Ohlman's felt, well, this is what he
wants to do with his land, this is a nice thing, we'll be neighborly, we won't say anything
South old Town Plannina Board Paae Fifteen February 13. 2006
about it. He also subsequently put a flagpole and a shed out there, which I don't think
anybody minded too much. What I question is: was there ever any fill put on this land?
And, by clearing the phragmites on this land, are you actually clearing wetlands; and
should this be classified as wetlands? The pictures I submitted to you so far I don't
have copies of; so I'd like to have them back. I am going to submit those. The houses
that you see, the small house, is actually part of Carosotto's which is right next door
where you sawall the water around the house. The pictures taken are from Carosotto's
property looking backwards towards the flagpole on Mr. Baxter's property. There
probably are also some other pictures taken from the Ohlman home, which is
immediately adjacent to the Carosotto home. The pictures that I just gave you, the
whole, there's a large stack there, they are indicated on the map where they were taken
and at what angles they were taken. I have copies of all those, so those I don't expect
you to go through all this at this time, but I will submit them for you to take a look at.
And again, I am going to do the same thing for the pictures that I just handed you which
were taken yesterday, which would be what I would consider a minor flooding event.
The pictures from '93 I would consider a major flooding event. I think that this land lies
within a flood plane; I think that anything that's going to be done to this land to raise the
grade for a house, to do any kind of grading on that property, is going to affect the
property owners surrounding the area.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Could you just give us a minute so that we can get our
bearings on these photos, please? (Board and Staff review photos) Did you have
anything that you would like to add to that?
Wavne Swiatocha: Yes, actually. The hole that was drilled, the test hole, I think
showed sand and loam for the first foot, and gray clay underneath. I would submit that
the gray clay that you are looking at is not actually gray clay; that is wetlands. And I
have some pictures that actually show that a gray color does indicate wetland soil. I
know it's about 3' to water there, so I think the major concerns are: (1) the aesthetic
value of the neighbors in the area who look at this wetlands. I think the wetlands
probably never should have been dredged; there never should have been a dyke put
up. If there was ever going to be a revitalization for a wetlands project, I think it might
be applicable in this case. I think a wetlands specialist or scientist should look at the
area. I would also question whether there is any endangered vegetation or animals in
this area and I think Goose Creek is one of the pristine creeks in South old Town and
we're losing wetlands. There was recent study done by the DEC which shows that
Corey Creek and Cedar Beach have lost I think in the last 8 years about 17 acres of
wetlands, and I think we all know the importance of the wetlands in this State. So, I
think that this wetlands actually could be classified as a "wetlands of unusual
importance". The reason being behind that comes out of the NYCRR Part 61 Title
Wetlands Land Use Regulations, in which they state: actually, no, it's something else.
But to have a wetlands declared of unusual local importance, if the wetland is tributary
to a body of water which could subject a substantially developed area to significant
damage from flooding should the wetland be modified, filled or drained. And I think to
build on this property, you're going to have to raise the grade of the land for a sewage
system, you're gonna have to raise the grade because it's only 3' from water, and I
think that it's going to increase the flooding to the neighbors around that.
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Sixteen February 13. 2006
And so for that reason I think it's a "wetland of unusual local importance". I don't know
what you have to go for to get that classification. I know that you need that
classification when it's under 12.4 acres. So basically what I would request is that we
keep this hearing open on this project and I would like to see the Town actually look into
the wetlands and see if these wetlands need to be reclassified.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else in the audience who has a comment?
Brett Kehl: During the last storm, the creek actually overflowed into Main Bayview
between the Baxter residence and the one further south. The creek did come onto
Main Bayview and all around the neighboring house on the south. Behind the
residence from Smith Drive South towards the south, during the last storm we had
actually three basements there were full and two of them required pumping by the fire
department. This is on the road. In those backyards of those houses, the water didn't
come up to the house, yet there was 2-3' of water behind the house at least. I would
like to know if there was a DEC permit for fill, because over the past 10 years, dump
trucks have been seen going in there. I know anything within 300' of wetlands requires
a DEC fill permit, or even a Town permit. So I want to know if there was a permit,
whether it was around his house or out on the wetlands. Because according to the test
score, showing sand and loam on the surface and gray clay on the bottom, there's no
way any type of storm is going to bring up sand and loam on top of gray clay soil,
especially with it's just a rising tide, it's not a tidal wave picking up sand from the other
side of the creek. And also one of the other big things is if a property goes in there,
there's a whole area has to be raised, and the runoff from that property alone is going
to cause problems yet the sewage will be set in the cesspool system right in the water
that will basically running twice a year gets flooded and we'll be flushing that out into the
creek. We have trouble now maintaining the creeks and the bays and we're going to be
throwing in another septic system that's just going to be flushed by the storm. So
there's no way that you can even build a septic system in that area without it being
flushed at least once or twice a year by the creek. And I know no one wants to see
that. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board?
Paul Carasotto: I have been familiar with this property for 45 years; that's how long I'm
married to my wife. And recently, we got a call over the winter when we had that storm,
we had to replace the boiler in the house because we got flooded. OK. Now, if you
look at the plan where they want to build this house, Mr. Baxter is a very nice man, he
has always been very nice to us. But the problem being here, if you close the road off
Main Bayview, OK, that road at the end of his property is going to definitely have to be
raised because, as you see in the pictures, they indicate that the road is going to be
flooded at all times. It's going to be washed away. So, that property is going to have
to be built up road-wise at least 4'. If that road gets built up 4' right behind our house,
we're going to get a swimming pool. We're going to have a lake that's going to be
trapped water at any given time. And the house is going to have to be built up at least
-------- _________...____n _
South old Town Plannina Board Paae Seventeen February 13. 2006
another 4'. I spoke to my son who is a professional engineer, and showed him this
copy. He said there's no way that this can be done because of the water runoff.
Where is that water going to go? You can't put drains, because it can't go nowhere, the
water is stuck there. I remember the day they dug that trench all the way around that
property to be dredged. I remember the night that the dyke broke. I remember the
Army Corps of Engineers pulled out of that property and they brought in a small dredge.
And they started pumping up and guess what they did, they hit the fresh water and we
all got salt water in the pipes, because we had a well at the time. Now we're going back
a long time. Now where is the septic going to go from this; I can't believe a PE signed
that septic. How could it be? Because it's all pumped land; you couldn't walk on that
property for 15 years except for that one little place that had sand. It was all mud. The
kids used to go back and play in there, they came back full of mud. To divide it is good,
it's a great investment if he can divide and build. But the problem is if you build on that
he's going to hurt his neighbors. Bottom Line: we're going to get flooded. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board?
Janet Auer: I live on the corner. We did get flooded this fall in our basement, and if
they do put a house back there like this gentleman just said, that is going to affect all of
us. There is another neighbor here, he's on the opposite corner of Smith Drive & Main
Bayview. The water was in his yard. We're all the way out by the road. If you put a
house out there, that's basically saying that you could just take a house and stick it in
the middle of the bay somewhere. It's just totally, I can't understand why they would do
that. I would also like to know if, for this property, if they were going to build a house
there, would you need a DEC permit for that, and if you would need to go to the
Trustees and to the Zoning Board? Would you have to do that if you subdivided this?
Anthonv Trezza: He got his DEC permit for the subdivision, the DEC has seen this
proposal, and the Trustees have also seen this proposal; so they did what they needed
to do with respect to the subdivision. If they went to construct, to get a building permit, I
suspect the Building Inspector would ask for either a permit or a letter of non-jurisdiction
from the DEC and from the Trustees.
Janet Auer: Would that basically say that this shouldn't be approved?
Anthonv Trezza: No, not necessarily. It's a requirement for construction near wetlands.
Janet Auer: We did always think that was all wetlands there. All the neighbors.
There's cattails, there's phragmites. I don't see how any of that could, and as you see
we have pictures here, and the ones that were handed to you, of the flagpole and the
house that he plans to build is back there by the flagpole; that's surrounded. Yesterday
was not a storm like we had in the Fall, or the storms that they had in the past. If Mr.
Baxter is going to build a house there, is he going to help us clean our basement out
when they flood the next time? It's true about the sewage, I mean what do you, it's just,
I'm sorry I'm rambling, but I'm just concerned, I'd really like for nothing to be put there.
Thank you.
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Eiahteen February 13. 2006
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Wavne Swiatocha: I'd just like to ask a question: DEC approved this with the thought
that a building was going to be put on it, or just approved it for the subdivision?
Anthonv Trezza: I will have to check to see if they've looked at a map with a house on
it. I will tell you that what they approved was the subdivision. That I could tell you.
Wavne Swiatocha: Was that the subdivision that I just had in my hand that shows the
proposed building lot?
Anthonv Trezza: I don't know the answer to that question.
Wayne Swiatocha: Because if the DEC approved that, I'm gonna contact the head of
the DEC tomorrow, and have his inspection checked.
Anthonv Trezza: I will certainly take a look at the file again tomorrow because the DEC
permit is in there.
Wavne Swiatocha: Is that an approved DEC permit, or just a filed permit.
Anthonv Trezza: It's a permit, a permit for the subdivision.
Wavne Swiatocha: Approved?
Anthonv Trezza: To break it into two lots. Whether or not they looked at the residence
at the time of their application, I don't know the answer to that.
Wavne Swiatocha: I find it hard to believe that they saw the proposal for residence...
Chairperson Woodhouse: Well, Mr. Trezza will look in the file tomorrow and you are
welcome to come into the office and check the file on that permit.
Wavne Swiatocha: Besides wetlands, if you look at the DEC what they actually
recommend usually is that there is a 300' adjacent area to the wetlands which is as
important as the wetlands to the existence of the wetlands. So, I really don't
understand how the DEC could have approved this. And I think that the Town needs to
look hard at it too, because anything under 12.4 acres, the DEC really doesn't have
control over. The Town is going to have control over their own wetlands. And I think if
they look at the EPA, if they look at Fish & Wildlife and the effort that is going on in NYS
to revitalize these wetlands, I think they should really take a hard look at was this
wetlands? Was the dredging the problem from the beginning? Can this wetlands be
revitalized? Should it be revitalized? And should it be reclassified?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else in the audience who would
like to address the Board? Yes, ma'am.
Southold Town Plannina Board Paae Nineteen February 13. 2006
Reverend Noel Koestline: I live in the third house in on Smith Drive South and our back
lot backs up against the Baxter property. I am learning a lot about wetlands and things
that I never knew. We've owned the property about seven years, and there's a berm or
a dyke that's on our property, our property goes over that and then the Baxter property
is behind that. Where it touches us is the aesthetic value because we look out and we
see a flagpole and the phragmites and the wonderful wildlife. So, it's a privacy issue for
us, and concern about taking more wildlife habitat. Last week I saw a group of seven
deer right out my back window and that's their habitat; our property, his property. So, I
would just hate to see anything built back there, especially if it's going to jeopardize the
health of that fertile, wonderful, blessed area.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board?
Michele Hamilton: I live at 200 Smith Drive South. I just became aware of this on
Friday when my neighbors came over to tell me. I have some pictures I can give you.
My house, looking out my back window is exactly where they are putting the house. It's
not exactly something I'd like to see back there, on top of all of the issues with the
wetlands and what's going on, but I hear stories from my husband and the neighbors
and different people that they were kids and played back there and would go back and
hang out back their running through or riding their quads or whatever they did at the
time which they probably shouldn't have. But, they were all wetlands. There were
phragmites, and it wasn't built up like that. The property appears greatly to be back-
filled and set up and you look at the images from Google Earth and you can see the
straight land where you have phragmites to the left and right and up on front, it's such a
clear area that has been done away with to build up the property and have it the way he
has. I can't understand why subdividing, if you were to subdivide the property, the only
purpose would be to put a house on there. I would just like to see that they don't permit
this at this point, and let us, if we have to, do more research into it, or look into it about
preserving it, or making sure nothing is done, or having it revitalized and put back to the
way it was back before the house was built and the property was filled in; I would just
like the opportunity to do that, seeing as I myself just became aware of this on Friday.
But I do have pictures that I'd like to give you that we had taken. I'll give you all of
these. (inaudible, showing photos to the Board and Staff)
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board?
Robert Hamilton: Apparently if I want dinner I have to address you guys. I've grown up
in that area and I think the Google Earth picture that you have in front of you speaks
volumes to the change that's occurred on Mr. Baxter's property. Over the years, I had
bonfires on Mr. Baxter's property, long before he owned it. It was sand from the
dredge. Broke bones back there. It was all marsh and mud. As Paul says, we used to
go back there and jump up to our waist in the mud and have a shower before we went
into the house. Everything's changed, there's no doubt about that. The question I
bring: all this concern has come up in the neighborhood because of the proposed
house on the subdivision. For him to subdivide the property and remain as it is, is not
the issue, it's the house that causes all the concern. I just have to question the change
South old Town Plannina Board Paae Twentv February 13, 2006
that's occurred in Mr. Baxter's property since he's owned it. Not law enforcement, and
a kind neighbor. In fact I don't think I've ever met Mr. Baxter other than to send my kids
to his house for candy at Halloween. Just question the phragmites and the way there's
a void in the natural progression. I was on the property, not Mr. Baxter's, the neighbor's
property, yesterday or the day before and was quite surprised at the change since the
last time I'd been back there. But the change in the adjoining property contrasts
drastically to the changes that have occurred on his property, and I just raise that
question to you for further looking at. Thanks.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Wavne Swiatocha: One more thing I'd like to add: there were trees planted on his
property along the edge. I know he planted those trees, they are still alive, they do go
underwater. I think that was something that probably blocked your view a little bit that
you weren't too happy about because first you look at wetlands, now there's a line of
trees that run down the side of that property. Whether that was part of trying to get this
subdivision through when those trees were put in or not, I'm really not sure. But you
also have to remember that a wetlands, just because it has trees on it, doesn't mean it's
not a wetlands. I'd like to just state that.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Anyone else? I will ask Mr, Trezza to please
give us your report.
Anthonv Trezza: My recommendation is to the benefit of the neighbors and to the
benefit of Mr. Baxter himself as the applicant. What I would do is: let us leave the
hearing open, let us look at the pictures, let us look at their concerns, and then we will
come to a work session and address it before our next meeting. But to be fair about it,
I would ask that anybody who is going to submit something in writing do it as soon as
possible so that we can get it on the record, because we can only hold it open for so
long. But that's what I would do, I would hold it open so we could take a look at the
issues that were brought before the Planning Board tonight and then address them.
We might be able to do some stuff with our C&R's, we might have a little bit of extra
work, but I think that we could probably address their concerns and will do so.
Ken Edwards: I have to agree with him.
Wavne Swiatocha: To have that wetland declared a "wetland of unusual importance",
who do you apply to for that?
Mark Terry: NYS Natural Heritage Program.
Ken Edwards: Madame Chairperson, I would like to entertain a motion that we hold this

to your benefit Mr. Baxter that we keep this open because we don't want anybody
making any hasty decisions or wrong decisions or anything like that.
