SETTING OF THE NEXT PLANNING BOARD MEETING
Chairperson Woodhouse: Good evening and welcome to the October 17th meeting of
the Southold Town Planning Board. For our first order of business, I will entertain a
motion to set Monday, November 7,2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the Southold Town Hall, Main
Road, Southold, as the time and place for the next regular Planning Board Meeting.
Bill Cremers: So moved.
Ken Edwards: Seconded.
Chairperson Woodhouse:. All in favor?
Aves: Ms. Woodhouse, Mr. Cremers, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Solomon.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? And that motion carries.
Chairperson Woodhouse: We have a number of public hearings tonight. The public will
have an opportunity to address the Board. We ask that when you want to address the
Board you come to either of these podiums where there is a microphone, a piece of
paper and a pen. If you would put your name on the list clearly that way when we
transcribe the report, we will know exactly who to ascribe the comments to.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Greaersen's Keep LLC: Proposal is to subdivide an 81,913 s.f, parcel into two lots
where Lot 1 equals 40,913 s.t. and Lot 2 equals 41,000 s.f. The property is located at
the terminus of Gull Pond Lane in Greenport. SCTM#'s 1000-35-3-12.6 & 12.7
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone who would like to address the Board on this
application?
Pat Moore: Good evening, Board. I have Mr. & Mrs. Claudio here tonight so that if
there are any questions tonight that I can't answer, I will have them speak and answer
whatever questions you have. I just want to clarify I think in your records, I just want to
be sure for the record, that you are reviewing a subdivision map that was forwarded to
your Board September 13, 2005. Anthony is going to double check the file because
sometimes things get filed in unusual ways. So we'll just leave it at that. I also have
two individual surveys and now have the design of the houses that are proposed which
will hopefully help Anthony when he is reviewing the subdivision maps so that we don't
have an inadvertent inconsistency between our house plan and the subdivision map
that you ultimately approve. So, I am going to put that in your file for the record and
one copy for Anthony for your review when you have a chance. Aside from that we will
be here to answer any questions. I think the application speaks for itself. We did get
Zoning Board approval for the creation of the lots and the proposed configuration and
we have in process the Health Department getting approval, DEC, and the Trustees, I
think you are aware again through my correspondence of September 13 which
submitted the maps. For the Trustees, I submitted individual applications for the house
plans, but their position is that until the subdivision is approved, they don't feel they can
act on the individual house, which is fine. We are waiting for this Board to act on the
subdivision and then the applications are actually ready to be filed whether or not they'll
act on them; they're going to wait until this Board acts. So, as soon as you do, we'll get
the green light from the Trustees. But they are well aware of the application process
submitted to them, again, being reviewed and consistent with all the environmental
regulations we have to comply with. I'll sit down and wait for any comments.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
Paul Ahlers: I live at 1905 Gull Pond. I join the Lot 1 on the subdivision. I have many
concerns: by subdividing this property, if you look at the proposed surveys for the two
houses, they are proposing to bring in almost 2,000 yards of fill on the front of these
houses, raising the grade approximately five feet above the existing grade in the road.
And I'm adjoining property. My question is: how are they going to contain this water
from running into the road, running into the pond? From what I understand, the DEC
will not allow this property to be bulkheaded. So that means that the elevation down on
the water side of this property has to basically remain what it is. Also, with the
subdivision, they are already asking, which is showing the Trustees for relief on bringing
South old Town Planninq Board
Paqe Three
October 17. 2005
their deck into the 100', approximately Y-, almost 80' into that. And, with this water, if
this water is not contained on the property, it goes in either to my yard or into the street.
Who is responsible? I'm assuming it's the Town of Southold, and that means the Town
of Southold has to spend a lot of money putting a lot of unnecessary drainage into a
road. So I just want this Board to really look at the proposed survey, especially with
that fill situation. Because the groundwater is at 3'4, so the reason that's why the fill is
brought in is so they can put in the septic system. Since, by dividing these lots they
have narrowed the frontage so much that the property is like a wedge, that they can't
put in shallower pools, like 2' rings. If you had one hole there, you'd have 2' rings, you
wouldn't require all this fill. I can't see how they could put in all those rings and enough
drainage to contain this water.
Chairperson Woodhouse: We will look at the drainage calculations as part of our
Anthony Trezza: Certainly our Town Engineer will look at this as we are reviewing it.
Certainly we are going to require, and the Health Department hasn't issued their permit
as yet so, certainly we always require that all runoff be contained on site, and Trustees
also are going to require it; there are a number of agencies reviewing this, so we are
certainly going to make sure in the design; the Public Hearing is actually, as
recommended tonight, being left open. So I could make sure that I have the right map
and do our due diligence as we are looking at.
Paul Ahlers: Also, on the survey on the northerly side of the property, there is a 20'
right of way that's not shown.
Anthony Trezza: OK. Disregarding the access to the dock also?
Paul Ahlers: Yes.
Anthonv Trezza: That was actually brought to my attention from the Trustees; I'll get
something on the record. There are two docks on this property, one is permitted for the
property owner from what I understand, and then one that you have I believe right of
access to.
Paul Ahlers: No. I have my own.
Anthony Trezza: Oh, you have your own. But there is one that
Paul Ahlers: Yes, that's the right of way that adjoins my property.
Anthony Trezza: OK. That's not shown on the survey.
Paul Ahlers: Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
Southold Town Planninq Board
Paqe Four
October 17. 2005
Richard Witt: I own the property directly bordering the four acres. I know I came up
against the Board of Appeals and I expressed my concerns to them. I would just like to
bring it to you as the Planning Department of the Town. Quick history: my wife and I
just moved here; we were born and raised on the South Fork and saw the place
developed beyond its means. One of the major problems was there was no planning
involved. It happened very quickly; it happened over the last 50 years I was there, but
in the last 20 it took a big push forward. On the North Fork, it's going to happen in the
next five, until we run out of land. When we came over here and looked for a piece of
property, because I used to work here when I first started working on the Island, we
found Gull Pond, and it looked like a very well planned out neighborhood. All the
houses had docks, they all had right of ways, they all had room between the houses.
We bought the four acres. And on the four acres was a covenant saying that we would
not be able to divide the four acres of property, which made sense. Which said, well,
I'm sure a previous Planning Board before you, when they developed this whole area,
they said: "Look, that's the extent of this Gull Pond; we'll even put a covenant on the
four acres so they cannot divide this and bring any more traffic down Gull Pond Lane
and congest the area." Just in the back of my head I keep thinking, "Why did they put a
covenant on my four acres and didn't put a covenant on the two acres?" Probably
because they didn't think that anytime in the future somebody would actually subdivide
that piece of property. It's kind of an implied covenant on the piece of property, so to
speak. Of course, with actions and reactions, we have to think that if you allow this to
go through, what could be the result? By doing this, of course, would leave me, or
whoever I would sell the property to, to subdivide those four acres. Because, if you can
cut apart this two-acre parcel, why have a covenant on a four-acre parcel that's right
next to it? Now you can go from one street to the other street. I go all the way down to
Fiddler Lane. I have a separate access. When they initially designed this, they put a
covenant on my property and said, "Look, this is all the development we want on Gull
Pond." The other thing I want you to consider is in Gull Pond, many of it is bulkheads;
most of it is bulkheads. This piece of property is actually beach. So I will speak for
some of the people who can't speak tonight: the swans, the geese, the turtles, and all
the wildlife that use that beach. It's the only way out of the pond, except for a few other
places around the town. This is something I want you to look at in this pond. Also, by
subdividing, and it came to me actually on one of the rainy days when I can't do much
on rainy days, there's a Trustee sign for the public meeting back on the second piece of
property for the Trustees. So I had to walk on to see what the sign was, because there
was a notice for a public hearing which wasn't posted on the road, it's 300' in the
property behind the fence behind the gate, so you can't really see the public notice
sign. Anyway, I went down to the Trustees and I said: "Look, let me have a copy of the
prints of what they have planned for the property. And they seemed a bit confused,
because it looks like this dock on each part of this subdivision you're going through, that
is my dock; that is my right of way. And that was not written down on the survey. Now
I'm wondering if the Zoning Board of Appeals is confused on that either. Because right
now I know when you look at the survey, I have a copy here, I'm sure you all do, where
you have a divided line there's a dock on one side, there's a dock on the other side, no
problem. Everybody has a dock. Well, they forgot to write "right of way." They also,
adjoining the property, which is my 1900, it says "dwelling, public water." There is no
Southold Town Planninq Board
Paqe Five
October 17, 2005
dwelling, It's vacant. So there are two mistakes I found on the survey that went to the
Zoning Board of Appeals. I don't know how much aware they were that that dock was
not part of that property. The other thing you're going to have to do after you subdivide
this piece of property, you're going to have to realize that you're going to create
something here which does not exist anywhere on Gull Pond, which is a piece of
property that has no access to the water. There's no dock; you can't walk across the
wetlands. There's a beach you can't put your boat upon. There's no access; every
other house has a dock, a floating dock, some way to keep a boat. So I'm afraid of
course, that in future years, because it's the Planning Board that has to plan for future
years, five, ten years down the line, when somebody buys this piece of property, and of
course it'll be a million and a half, two million dollars, whatever property is going to sell
for, they're going to buy this piece of property and they're not going to have a dock. Yet
they're going to ask for a dock and they're going to want to put a dock back there.
(inaudible) So these are the two issues you will actually have to concern yourselves
with: one of them because I have a covenant and why was that covenant made in the
first place on those four acres, and if you do this, you're creating a piece of property
that does not have a dock, and it's the only place on all of Gull Pond that has a house
without a dock. Whoever gets into that piece of property, I'll guarantee you is going to
want a dock at some point in time. That'll be up against the Board five or six years from
now and of course it'll be up to the Planning. That's about the extent of it. I just hope
you seriously consider; also, the two errors on the survey, I found two. I didn't notice
them the first time until I went to the Trustees, and the Trustees looked at it and said:
"We didn't quite understand where the dock was." So I straightened them out and I
wonder if that brought confusion to the Board of Appeals. I know what happens if I go
to the Building Department and I bring surveys, they kinda take me back and they say:
"get a corrected survey." So those are two errors, we don't know how many more
errors are on the survey; go back to the beginning and start with a real survey. The
other thing is you have to remember: on the piece closest to Gull Pond, I think that Pat
just brought you through the Building proposals that were presented to the Trustees;
it's a five-bedroom house, and I don't see where those cars are going on that driveway.
The only place I can think of them parking is on my property. I just can't see fitting all
those cars for all those people on that one little driveway sitting by that five-bedroom
house. Thank you for your time.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board?
Tom Kraus: I live on the lot that's adjacent on the south to what would be Lot #2. This
proposal, just as a matter of logic, suggests that the applicant's house will be built
closer to my end of the property and my house than if we were on the two-acre lot. I've
seen plans and I'm very comfortable with the grading plans and the plans to maintain
water because I have just as much a risk of water runoff as the party to the north. I am
confident that the owners will take care of that, and I have no problem with this project.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Southold Town Planninq Board
Paqe Six
October 17. 2005
Patricia Moore: I'm the attorney for the applicant. I just want to address some of the
points that were raised to clarify some of the points. The first issue is drainage:
Anthony very correctly pointed out that all throughout the process every administrative
agency tells us we have to maintain water on-site. And I would say that the houses, or
these properties and the development of these properties, is much more regulated than
any of the homes of the people that spoke out because of the fact that we are next to
the water. DEC reviews it, makes sure that we have proper drainage, that we have roof
runoff in drywells. That's a standard condition that is automatic every time that a house
designed on the water is considered. The Trustees is also one of their standard
conditions. Moreover, we have a non-fertilization buffer. If you recall, this property, by
the prior owner, has lawns from end to end, is completely cleared, a completely
disturbed site. The proposal before you will actually mitigate some of the damage that
was caused by a prior owner requiring the non-fertilization buffer to keep water runoff
and pollutants from going beyond the property and into the water. So, actually, the
development of this site will be much more environmentally sensitive than the property
in its existing condition. Secondly, the right of way: the Zoning Board has a copy of the
deed. There is a right of way for the northerly parcel. It is a pedestrian right of way; I
mean foot traffic only, not cars. A pedestrian right of way with an electric line, utility line
for the dock that was constructed there by Quintin, I believe it was, by the prior, with the
consent of the owners, the underlying - Brader authorized Quintin with a right of way to
build a dock on their property. That right of way, any right of way, does not get
extinguished except by written document. There is no written document extinguishing
the right of way. That is there, there is no doubt to the Claudio family, Gregersen's
Keep, that this right of way exists and, until such time as the person who has the benefit
of that right of way extinguishes it by their own actions, it continues to be there. So,
there's no doubt that that is there, and I sense that it's a pedestrian right of way. The
Zoning Board usually is not concerned about pedestrian right of ways. It doesn't impact
the property except for foot traffic. So, that is there; the survey could certainly have a
notation put on the subdivision map that there is a pedestrian right of way, but someday
down the line if ever it is extinguished, you've got a map that shows it and it creates
kind of a little confusion. So, it's already on record and it's a deed of right. So, if you
want it to be added, but it's not necessary, it's on record, and the title to this property
shows it. Third thing is the sanitary. It has been designed very carefully, Joe Fischetti,
I believe, is our sanitary engineer, and we are very careful to design it in conformity with
Health Department regulations. The fill that's required is limited to that which is
necessary for the sanitary standard fill. We are not aware of the need to bring in
enormous amounts of fill. When we do the excavation for the house, there is usually
adequate material that gets regarded. What you see there is a grading plan, which was
important for the purposes of making sure that Mr. Kraus, who spoke in favor of this
application, has a proper grading plan so we cannot create a problem for them. That
was part of our agreement with them early on and we have abided by that agreement.
It's also a good neighborly thing to do and it's proper planning. So, the individual plan
that I gave Anthony tonight shows the grading of the property and that was done with
the guidance of Joe Fischetti and is meeting engineering standards. That's not
something usually needed on your subdivision map, but you already have it in your file
for the individual lot survey. There's no basement. Flood zone standards don't allow
Southold Town Planninq Board
Paqe Seven
October 17, 2005
full basements; we have the proper crawl space that's necessary or permissible in flood
zones. Again, unlike some of the other houses in the area that may have basements,
we are again regulated by extra regulations adopted which require flood zone standards
compliance. So again, we are further regulated. I think this Board, in creating the line
between the two properties where we have the Zoning Board variance allowing for the
creating of the lot at the start we did a great deal of history and planning, we had a
planning expert submit to the Zoning Board the whole design and the planning of this
subdivision and, in fact, this particular property did not have a covenant prohibiting
further subdivision, unlike some of the other lots, because it was assumed that further
down we could subdivide this piece. It was appropriate for subdividing and, when we
looked at the zoning in place at the time, the open space, the dedication of the land to
the north to, I believe, The Nature Conservancy at the time, that there was actually our
zoning met current standards. So, that was an issue that was resolved with the Zoning
Board and that's what made the Zoning Board comfortable, granting the variances for
these lots while certainly we acknowledge that they are one acre, we all know that when
the map was adopted, sometimes the lines were not quite identified properly, so that
gave us the opportunity to go before the Zoning Board and show that the character of
the area and the neighborhood was one acre lots, and we persuaded the Zoning Board.
That is not an issue before this Board, we have approved zoning here. Do you have
any other questions? I think I've addressed all of them.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I just want to remind you that we are going to be holding this
hearing open so there will be additional opportunities for comments.
Patricia Moore: Right. And if you need something added to the map, I know you'll ask
me.
Anthonv Trezza: I sure will.
Janice Claudio: I just want to say one thing: Lot 1 could have a basement, Lot 2
doesn't have a basement. Lot 2, which is the one adjacent to Tom Kraus, is the one
that we will be building on, and the home will be absolutely beautiful. It'll be a credit to
the neighborhood. We have employed an architect that's well-known; the home is
smashing, and I think that, you know, this is our dream come true, and we will put all of
our effort into building a fabulous house that will enhance the neighborhood and make
everybody happy. I just wanted to tell you that. It's a little on the emotional side, but it's
the real side and when we get through all the paperwork, that's the bottom line; we're
just trying to build a really pretty house.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Bill Claudio: I'm the lesser half. Just a couple of comments I'd like to make. One of
the things that really gets to me, and it gets to me in many ways, is that my family has
been here since 1854. We've been here for a very long time. We've been a member
of this community for a very long time. We are not outsiders coming in, we are not
developers coming in to do damage to the environment, certainly not. And we seem to
be targeted as somebody: "my gosh, look what you're doing to the environment, how
Southold Town Planninq Board
Paqe Eiqht
October 17. 2005
terrible you are." As the owner of the properties we now have in Greenport, the
restaurant, and all of those things, people come here. We know one of the reasons
that people come to Southold Town is because of the environment that Southold Town
is. If we didn't have all the pumpkins, if we didn't have all the wineries, if we didn't have
all the waterfront, if we didn't have all the things that we have now, that the Planning
Board and everybody else is doing their damnedest to protect within the law, these
people wouldn't be coming. They're abandoning the south shore, as witnessed.
They're abandoning the south shore because it is becoming overcrowded. I just don't
want to have people coming from the south shore over here and start demanding some
long term residence things that it disturbed me a little bit to make that comment. A
couple of other things: the size of the lot, the two lots that will developed out of the one
lot; those two properties will be larger than any of the properties along Gull Pond to the
north, to the east, and not quite to the south, but it's larger than all other properties on
Gull Pond. There may be one or two larger, but not many. And then to the south of us,
beginning with Tom Kraus, all of those properties are in the one acre size. So, about
85% of the lots surrounding within Gull Pond are our size or smaller. So we are
certainly not changing the nature of the neighborhood. We've been proven in the past
to be very good neighbors to all the people we are around. I don't seem to be
succeeding very well here, but I would simply say that after the smoke clears, our
attitude to being neighbors will not change. We still will be very good neighbors. Thank
you.
Pat Ahlers: I live at 1905 Gull Pond. I just have some concerns. When we moved
here, we moved out to get away from crowds. We were told that it was 2-acre zoning.
Not long after we were here, (inaudible). Now the Claudios have applied for not a
zoning change, but a variance, and I don't understand the difference. As far as Claudio
being an old family name, it doesn't matter who is moving next door. I have nothing
against the Claudios; I am concerned about the preservation of the town. That's why I
moved here.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I'm just going to answer one of your questions. In terms of
the variance, the underlying zoning stays the same, but there's a variance for a parcel
within that zone. If you go for a zoning change, the underlying zoning would change.
That's not what happened here, this is a variance, so the underlying zoning in that area
remains what it was before the variance was issued.
Pat Ahlers: Which is what?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Two-acre zoning.
Anthonv Trezza: R-80.
John Bradv: I am the former owner of that piece of property. I had no intention to speak
tonight, until a comment was made by Ms. Moore, that I did irreparable damage, or
words to that effect to the property prior to the closings coming in. Had I done damage,
I don't think the Claudios would have been too forthcoming with $2 million for that piece
Southold Town Planninq Board
Paqe Nine

of property. Secondly, I applied no less than three times to the Town, to the DEC, and
everything else, for fill, for bulkheading, for revetements, for anything other than
replanting something I didn't denude in the first place to contain the erosion to that
piece of property. You wouldn't have suffered at all had any of those things been
approved at any time. As a matter of fact, Mr. Terry,
Anthonv Trezza: Who I am not, I might say, but the name is sitting there, go ahead.
John Bradv: I know that. I went to the Town Planning Board one time to find out
whether or not that piece of property could be divided, because at the time I was selling
it, that was a paramount question for most of the people. To my knowledge, there was
nothing that said it couldn't be divided, but there was nothing that said it could. I
presented it in that fashion many, many times during the course of the sale. Mr. Terry
was the one that said unequivocally it will never be subdivided. There's no way that
property is ever going to be subdivided. So I think, in deference to the Claudios and
their long standing in the community, they're probably one of the only ones that could
have had it, and I think rightfully so. That if they wanted it divided and it was possible to
divide, that it should have been divided, although it was not my desire. However, with
that, comes the necessary attention to the detail of the property; whether or not it is
done in the best possible means for the most people, the swans and the geese and the
ducks notwithstanding. That was an argument I presented to the DEC once for not
denuding the beach and not replanting the beach. The property has a long history of
attempts. Jerry Latham was my construction bulkhead; he built the dock, the floats and
everything else on the property. We had many applications, and I think I had two
applications with Terry; I had one with, I have no idea, I know I had at least three,
possibly four. Everything was turned down. The only thing that was going to be
approved was replanting the beach, which had never been unplanted in the first place.
Mr. Witt's point is well taken in terms of what will become the necessary thing: the other
dock and float. Somebody is definitely going to want that. There is a beautiful area of
wetlands between where the house would sit and where the dock would have to be.
That's going to be a major consideration. However, the effect that the Zoning Board of
Appeal had already done this. Whether or not you approve is the question here, but it's
got to be for the right reason. If this were done in the normal fashion and approved in
the normal fashion, without argument and without malfeasance and so on, then there's
nothing that you can do about it. It has to be considered for the people who have been
here for a long time and the people who are enjoying new home ownership at this point.
But I resent deeply that I did anything to that property to lessen its worth. I take great
exception to that.
Patricia Moore: I apologize. I didn't mean to imply that you...
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK, let's not, if you would like to address us on the
application and if you need to speak to each other afterwards, that would take place
outside. Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on this application?

Richard Witt: About us south-forkers coming over here. I grew up on the south fork. I
was there for 51 years. When I was four years old, I think it was my first thing down at
the lighthouse, trying to save the bluffs, my first fight. I continued fighting from age 20
until when I was 50 trying to keep the place to remain in some sort of semblance of
anything but Nassau County. I lost a lot of battles. It basically turned into a place
where I didn't want to live anymore. And 25 years ago, I started working on Main Street
here with the late Eddie Foy in Seatronics. And I love Greenport. I said, you know, all
our friends went to Arizona and Texas and Florida. This is still the most beautiful place
on earth, I am going to come to Greenport and I am going to stay here. And I speak
again for the animals and the environment, and this is what I have been doing for the
last 30 years. It's nothing personal, it's just business and the way it is. I try to stop it
whenever I can. Except on the South Fork, in the beginning, the major people who
destroyed that town were not developers from outside the town, but businessmen from
inside the town. I could give you the names, but that's not for you. But it wasn't people
from the outside who came, it was long-standing family names who got pushed through
planning boards.........
Chairperson Woodhouse: I just need to say that we need to keep our comments to this
application.
Richard Witt: Well, I had to rebut this.
Chairperson Woodhouse: No, no, I know you're tempted to but you do not need to, it's
OK. Just keep your comments to the application.
Richard Witt: Alii ask this Planning Board to do is give a clear slate and an even
decision for everyone involved, whether it was me, John or Mr. Claudio. Whoever it
happens to be, everybody gets judged fairly. That's alii ask.
Chairperson Woodhouse: On behalf of the Board, I assure you that's the way we do
our work, and we are not influenced by high-priced lawyers..... or low-priced ones!
Georqe Solomon: Nor family names.
Bill Claudio: I've already mentioned the environment and how important we think it is,
since they seem to be pounding on that. The waterfront that exists on both of those lots
is not going to change one iota, not one whit is it going to change. The beach will still
be there, the spartina grass, as a matter of fact, part of what we are going to do, which
John Brader didn't want to do, we're going to plant more spartina grass. We have
already met with the Trustees, the Trustees have walked the property, they have looked
it over thoroughly and said: "what do you want us to do?" We said, "well, you could put
rocks along the resident bulkhead." That was turned down by the DEC, so we're not
going to do that. So, nothing absolutely is going to change on that waterfront. The only
thing that might change, as has been pointed out, is if somebody wants a dock on the
other property, a dock may eventually get built, but it's going to be a small dock in
compliance with what everbody else is doing today anyway and the Trustees will pass

judgment on that. In terms of the environment and the water fowl, and the people and
animals that are there, there's a beautiful peacock who leaves little trails of tail feathers
all over the place, it's absolutely gorgeous, and we're not going to do anything to him
obviously. There is a family of swans that has adopted that beach, a male and female
and four cygnets. Two of the cygnets now eat out of my hand. The other two I haven't
won over yet. So, are we going to change the environment? Absolutely not. Do we
care about the environment as much as these people do? Absolutely we do. We want
the environment to stay that way because it's beautiful. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on
this application?
Paul Ahlers: I was wondering if the Board could explain to me when this was zoned two
acre by the Board at one point and why that would be reversed?
Anthonv Trezza: The Planning Board never zoned the property. The Town Board does
a town-wide zoning. When they did this two-acre zoning, I couldn't tell you. 1984 or
1986.
Paul Ahlers: I just want you to keep that thought, why it was
Anthonv Trezza: I can assure you that when Pat met with me to discuss the project,
I said that this is not a subdividable piece of property and you would need to go to the
Zoning Board to get a variance, and I am sure they went to the Zoning Board to get a
variance and I am sure the Planning Board probably said the same thing, you know we
don't usually condone creating non-conforming lots, but we do look at the neighborhood
and obviously suggest that they look at the neighborhood. But the Zoning Board acts
independently and they will ask for our comments, the Planning Board will always
remind the Zoning Board that it's two-acre zoning, but then the Zoning Board changed,
didn't change the zone, they just gave them a variance to allow two one-acre lots,
completely on their own, having nothing to do with the Planning Board, to be quite
honest.
