SETTING OF THE NEXT PLANNING BOARD MEETING
Chairperson Woodhouse: Good evening and welcome to the May 8, 2006 meeting of
the South old Town Planning Board. For our first order of business, I'll entertain a
motion to set Monday, June 12, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. here at South old Town Hall, Main
Road, Southold, as the time and the place for the next regular Planning Board
Meeting.
Ken Edwards: So moved.
Martin Sidor: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse:. All in favor?
Ayes.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? The motion carries.
Before we begin, for those of you who have been reading the paper about our Work
Sessions, they are starting at 4:30, not 4:00; it was incorrect in the paper this week.

Secondly, for those of you who are here to address the Board, you will have
opportunities to do so on the individual hearings. We ask that when you want to
address the Board, you come to either one of the two microphones and please sign or
print your name so that we will be able to read it when the record is transcribed. At the
end of the hearing, if there are other issues you want to address the Board on, you will
have time to do so at that point.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 p.m. - Cleaves Point Manor: Proposal to subdivide a 4.04-acre parcel into 4 lots
where Lot 1 equals 44,004 sJ., Lot 2 equals 44,004 sJ., Lot 3 equals 44,004 sJ. and
Lot 4 equals 44,004 sJ. The property is located in the R-40 Zone on the w/s/o
Shipyard Lane, approximately 173' s/o Gus Drive in East Marion. SCTM#1000-38-7-9
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone here who would like to present this
application to the Board? Is there anyone who would like to address the Board on this
application? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to close that hearing.
Mark Terrv: I think there is a letter that needs to be written into the record.
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK. I have a letter to read into the record. This was sent to
Anthony Trezza, our Senior Planner. "Dear Sir: It came to my attention that a planned
subdivision and a possible construction development are planned for community by the
named petitioner/Owner Name: KACE Development, LLC/Parkside Heights Co. This
proposal for subdivision and potential development is detrimental to the community
and the quality of life at Shipyard Lane, East Marion. The "frenzy" of overdevelopment
is only damaging to the local economy due to the fact that a limited number of potential
jobs are created by this unprecedented over-construction. There are only short-term
potential jobs that represent, in their concept, nothing else than living on a credit card.
However, long-term increases of taxes for garbage disposal and other services are
eminent expectations with the proportional increases of population. I object to this
subdivision as well as subsequent construction for these reasons. In addition, I would
like to state the fact that there are more visible problems:
(1 ) Diminishing open spaces - no buffer between properties.
(2) No trees separating properties - Brooklyn-like community.
(3) Dangerous traffic due to the fact that the street (Shipyard Lane) is too narrow
and there are no signs that would minimize potential traffic accidents. Traffic signs
such as" No Parking at Any Time" as well as "No Stopping at Any Time" is not there to
protect the motorists.
(4) The tranquility and quality of life are eliminated due to the overwhelming
increases of population. A narrow strip of land at the end of the street - represented
by a shoreline - offers no chance for the local community to enjoy waterfront.
(5) Low level of drinking water supply as well as other necessities creates
additional problems for our community due to the lack of planning.
- ---------- - --- --------
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Three Mav 8, 2006
Let it be on the record that I object to this subdivision as well as any additional
development in this area. Yours truly, John V. Kent"
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to comment on this
application? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to close the hearing.
Martin Sidor: So moved.

Ayes.

*********************************************
6:05 p.m. - Duck Walk Vineyards: This site plan is for construction of a 7,600 sq. ft.
vineyard building with 38 parking spaces provided as required and 31 additional
overflow parking spaces in geo-block type on a 30.5-acre parcel in the A-C Zone
located on the n/s/o NYS Route 25 approximately 546' w/o of Maple Avenue in
Southold. SCTM# 1000-75-2-2.6 & 2.7
Charles W. Southard: I am a registered architect. My office is located at 4400
Veterans Memorial Highway, Suite 207, Holbrook, NY 11741. This project is a
construction of a winery building. This is an A-C parcel of approximately two acres
which is part of a larger parcel of 30 acres. The 30 acres will encompass the
vineyards, the two acres will have the winery building on it itself. A 7,600-square foot
one-story building used for a tasting room and a winery.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you, Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Five Mav 8.2006
Thomas Jerome: I own a piece of property adjoining this property. I understand they
want to put this building up and I'm just looking forward to the fact that noise levels
which are going to come from this place, like music, what it's going to do to my
property. Also, my son has a piece of property adjoining it. If they are going to have
loud music, that's certainly going to hurt my piece of property and my son's piece of
property. I'd like to find out a little bit more about this. Are they planning music? Is the
music going to be inside the building or is it going to be outside the building? We have
another winery about 1,000 feet down the road, and we really listen to a lot of music
from that winery. This one is right next door. I'd like to find out a little bit more of,
other than just having the building, what they plan to do with the building. There is no
noise level in Southold Town, but this would devalue my property tremendously if they
do have a lot of music. That's it. I'd like to find out more before it gets passed. I hope
the Town Board would accept my views on this, That's it.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Would someone like to respond to that on
behalf of the applicant?
Charles Southard: Are there any other questions, or would anyone else like to
comment?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes, we'll take all the questions first and then give you an
opportunity to respond. Yes, sir?
Joseph Fristachi: I have property at 45300 Main Road, right across from where this
building is supposed to go up. This is my second time here for the same reason. I
opposed then, and I came back to oppose now because the traffic would be
unbearable, the noise level would be unbearable. The construction started to go up
and I had to have a window cleaned about two weeks ago. There's a mess now; dust
is all over the place. The traffic will be unbearable. I bought this home to be in peace
and not to be unable to sleep with the noise level that is created over there, plus the
traffic. I am opposed to that; I don't know how to do better to bring it up to you, but I
think I have to hire legal to do something more efficient. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
Charles Southard: Thank you for coming down. We've taken into consideration the
neighbors because there are also neighbors right in the area. The first thing we've
done is we put the buildings approximately 125' from the road, and the parking is
towards the roadside to keep any noise from the winery far away from the road and
neighboring homes. The front of the building is behind the two homes adjacent on
either side and the building was designed in a U-shape so that all the activities; the
front entrance faces on Main Road, along here this is the main entry to the winery and
then as you see it's shaped in a "U"; everything, the sitting area is out behind, so this is
pointing directly into the (inaudible) behind; this will block any noise from any of the
neighbors which will be on the east or the west or across the street from it. So we
were concerned about the neighbors, and we did it for that reason.
-- --------------..-------
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Six Mav 8. 2006
Thomas Jerome: Will you guarantee that?
Charles Southard: I can tell you that you wouldn't hear anything from this building,
Chairperson Woodhouse: Have you, the gentleman in the back, had an opportunity to
speak and to take a look at the layout of this property?
Thomas Jerome: I haven't looked at it.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Would you like to take a moment and just take a look at
what he was talking about?
Thomas Jerome: All right. There happens to be a winery that's about % mile from me,
right next to Briarcliff. They have music there. When they have music they must play
it on the outside because we can hear it until about maybe 8:00 or 9:00 at night
sometimes when they have it. I don't know if they have it on the outside or on the
inside. Now this is maybe 500' away from my property. Now, if they can guarantee
that I won't hear this music, OK, I'll go for it. But I want it written down someplace that
they will guarantee this. I mean, I'm not going to go, and they're going to say
one thing, and then after that say, "Well, it's too late, you had your_chance." Right?
Well, this is my chance; this could devalue my property tremendously, plus keep me
awake, And I think the Town Board should look into this. If he says that it's going to
stop the noise, is this, are they going to have the music on the inside: is the inside
going to be soundproof? We need more answers. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Well, this is a permitted use in this area, and I think the
design of the building is such that it is attempting to mitigate any sound that'll go
across the street or it'll go to the neighbors on either side, We do not have the
authority to say "you cannot have any music" or "you cannot have this kind of
operation." It does meet the standards for the Town of Southold. Is there anything
else you would like to add in terms of the music? Thank you.
H. Damianos: I am the proprietor of Duck Walk Vineyards. As the architect stated, we
are certainly concerned about our neighbors and the building was built in such a
fashion that the actual courtyard is really covered on all three sides. And whatever
music there might be will go out to the vineyard. It's been our experience at Pindar,
where we do have outdoor music, and we have it in such an area and in such a way
that we really don't disturb our neighbors in any way. Secondly, I think the gentleman
should understand that the tasting room is open from 11 :00 in the morning until 5:00 at
night. It's not open until 7 or 8 or 9 or 10:00. Of course there will be occasions where
there might be some events that we might have. We are very, very confident that
there will not be any major noise factor. We will even do a decibel survey on that. In
addition to that, the music that we are describing generally starts around Memorial Day
and ends generally in and around Labor Day. So, we have basically October,
November, December, January, February, March, April and May in which there is no
music whatsoever. Secondly, as far as value of land is concerned, this is a
------ ---
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Seven Mav 8. 2006
conservation easement. We have donated 28 acres to the Town of Southold for open
space. I truly believe that the gentleman's property will increase in value because of
the fact that it is adjacent to land that is forever preserved as open space. I also would
like to mention that the slight dust that we had had to do with our last week planting ten
acres of vineyard on that property in anticipation of this operation. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Thomas Jerome: We're back to the same thing with the noise level. The Town
doesn't care; they say they can't stop the noise level. I said that when I first got up
here, that the Town does not have a noise level. Now here are some people;
architects, engineers and designers, all coming up and saying "oh, there's not going to
be no noise." Now, I know there's gonna be noise, and I'm pretty sure the whole Town
Board knows that there's going to be noise because they've come across this many
times. I still say there's gonna be a noise if they're gonna have an outdoor band. If
they have it indoors, soundproof the building, fine. I have nothing against people
getting ahead. I've been here for a long time; I have my property here. I live here, and
I want a little peace and quiet, too. Now, I think the Town should just look into this a
little bit more without saying, "Well, that looks like it's good; it's gonna stop the noise,"
Get somebody, an engineer, a noise engineer, and find out. It's up to the Town to stop
this, not me. The Town is supposed to be working for me, Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you, I just have to say that the noise ordinance is
not a purview of this Board. But I would encourage you, those of you who feel strongly
about it, that you attend one of the Town Board meetings and make your comments
known. I think that the fact that the hours are limited from 11 'til 5 for the most part will
help to mitigate any of your concerns about noise; and I think the design, the way it is
shown here, which the Staff and the Board has looked at over a period of time, will
mitigate against some of the concerns that you are bringing up. We do not have an
ordinance that says you can't have any music, and we don't have anyone right now
that limits the decibel. But it's something you might want to address the Town Board
about in the future. This is not the Town Board, this is the Planning Board. And our
area of responsibility does not cover that. We are looking at the site, the traffic, the
layout and the issues that we here can comment on, whether the Health Department,
all the permits are in place, those are the things that we look at.
Joseph Fristachi: You mention traffic. That's what bothers me and concerns me, I'm
right across. We all know what the traffic situation is up west about a mile and a half by
Pindar. You know what the traffic is, we all know what the traffic is over there. This is
gonna be unbearable. My house is going to be a crazy house on a Sunday. You all
know, because you all live here. Please do something about it. Look into the traffic.
That's the most important. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK. Is there anyone else? This site plan, like any other,
has been reviewed by a number of agencies before it even gets to the point of a public
hearing. This particular application has been before the Architectural Review
------ ----

Committee, it has been before the Building Inspector, the Town Engineer; it was
reviewed by the NYS Dept. of Transportation, by the Suffolk County Department of
Health. So, some of the issues that you are talking about have all been addressed in
our normal course of going through all the permits that have to be obtained for us to
have the site plan before us. Is there anyone else who would like to address this
Board? Are there any questions on behalf of the Board?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to close this hearing.

6:10 p.m. - Rich's Auto Bodv: This site plan is for new construction of a 1,759 sq.ft.
auto repair building, existing office building of 1,620 sq.ft., existing auto repair of 130
sq.ft. on a 37,428-sq.ft. parcel in the R-40 Zone located on the s/s/o NYS 25 at the s/w
intersection of NYS 25 and Fleets Neck Road in Cutchogue. SCTM#1 000-1 02.-3-1
Abiqail Wickham: Good evening. I am the attorney for the applicant, RQA Properties,
LLC, Rich's Quality Auto. We are presenting a map this evening which complies with
the zoning code, the ZBA variance, the Architectural Review comments, the Planning
Board comments and the Department of Transportation comments. We ask that you
approve the map this evening, or as soon as you have had a chance to review any
other information that may come to light at the meeting tonight, and would like to thank
you very much for your consideration in this process. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application for Rich's Auto Body?
Dan Kohn: I would. I live in Cutchogue. I could not tell from the papers I have seen
how high the proposed construction is planned. Do you know?
Chairperson Woodhouse: We have the applicant here and we will ask him to verify for
you what the height will be.
Abiqail Wickham: I think it's 17', but if you would give me a moment I will look at it.
Mr. Kohn, if you have any other comments in the meantime...?
Joseph Townsend: do you have any other questions?
- --------
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Twelve Mav 8. 2006
Dan Kohn: I am somewhat concerned; I assume that this is a non-conforming use,
cu rrently?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes, it is.
Dan Kohn: And is it the Board's policy to encourage further development of a non-
conforming use in a residential area?
Chairperson Woodhouse: This is an application that has been before the Zoning
Board who did rule on that issue.
Dan Kohn: Are you saying that you don't take a position whether this further
development should be encouraged or not? I'm puzzled by your answer.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I'm saying that in this particular case, when there's any
change in the conformity with pre-existing variance, or pre-existing condition, the
determination about that goes before the Zoning Board of Appeals. This application
did go before the ZBA, and the ZBA did give a ruling on it, and we are responding to
the site plan at this site. We are not making a determination about the degree of
conformity or non-conformity.
Dan Kohn: I see. Then your concern is only whether the proposed construction is in
conformity with. , . ,
Chairperson Woodhouse: That's what our job is, (To Ms. Wickham) Do you have the
answer?
Abiqail Wickham: 18'. That is for the ridge. Now the Town Code defines the building
height as the mean between the ridge and the eave, and that is, I think that's 15', I
would have to look further on this map to make sure that's accurate. But the ridge
height is 18',
Dan Kohn: I'm sorry that I don't understand the niceties of who is responsible for
arresting the development that goes on here and has been going on for decades and
decades and decades, As a resident here, it's regrettable to me to see the further
expansion of the buildings, but if it's not in your...
Chairperson Woodhouse: In this particular case on this application, this is a pre-
existing business, and correct me staff if I'm wrong, where there were modifications
that were required for this particular business to stay in operation due to insurance
requirements that required new building and equipment to take care of some of the
environmental issues that the insurance company informed the applicant about. When
we reviewed all of those things, before we would process the site plan application, it
did go before the South old Town Board of Appeals, and they granted a variance in
December of 2005 allowing the enlargement of the non-conforming area. And my
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Thirteen Mav 8.2006
understanding in their review of it was that the only way in which the applicant could
comply with the insurance mandates and the requirements that the environmental
concerns on this property, was to build out further on the site.
Dan Kohn: The rest of the taxpayers have to bear with it, I guess. It's a good thing
that the insurance companies didn't recommend that he put up a four-story building.
Thank you for your time.
Abiqail Wickham: If you would like me to clarify that: first of all, the entire lot coverage
of the building, after construction is complete, is well under the Town Code
requirement of 20%; it's under 14%. And, the Zoning Board of Appeals, in its decision,
allowed this process to expand to the 30% allowed by the Code as of right with a very
modest increase beyond that because of the extreme hardship the applicant had as a
result of the business. And, the benefit to the Town is that the applicant is going to be
installing a state-of-the-art facility, or has already installed a state-of-the-art drying
room spray booth which (Dan, I know you are very technically probably are familiar
with it) will eliminate most of the emissions into the air in the neighborhood, of the
painting and sanding operations. So, overall, it was the right way to go for his business
and requirement of his business and something that we think, given all the tussles that
he had to face, was a very good plan. And from the outset, his primary concern has
been the protection of the neighborhood, keeping the exterior of the premises in good
shape so that it does not detract from the neighborhood because many of those
people are good customers. Thank you.

on this application? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to close the hearing.

Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there someone who would like to address the Board on
this application?
Ronnie Hill. RLH Land Planninq Services: Myself, as well as Craig Arm and Brett Kehl,
who are principals of BCB Realty Holding Corp., are here to answer any questions that
the public or the Planning Board might have.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Well, we did have a question prior to your, during the work
session today. It had to do with the filing of the Covenants and Restrictions.
- __.u___..._
South old Town Planninq Board Paqe Seventeen Mav 8. 2006
Ronnie Hill: Yes, I have not received the Covenants and Restrictions as approved by
the Town Attorney and reviewed by the Planning Board to file them, so I don't have
them, nor have they been filed.
Amv Ford: That was done in a work session, Brett, and I gave you a copy of them, I
made a copy out in the hall and I gave them to you. I don't have the exact date, I don't
have previous notes, but it was done probably two or three weeks ago; I would have to
look at the file.
Ronnie Hill: If that is the case, and that is the only thing that's holding up the hearing?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes, we were going to hold the hearing and keep the
hearing, one option is to keep the hearing open until we are assured you have filed the
Covenants & Restrictions.
Ronnie Hill: Well, if I can get them, I can assure you they will get filed, and I would then
hope that given that my clients would like to proceed forward, if we can hold the
hearing, if it's a matter of holding the hearing open until they are done and if Amy has
them, I can get them on tomorrow, make sure that they are filed as quickly as possible,
and we can move forward. So, I would ask that the Planning Board please entertain
that.
Chairperson Woodhouse: We are holding the hearing; you are speaking as part of the
official hearing.
Ronnie Hill: In that case, I will sit down.
Chairperson Woodhouse: You are here and there are a couple of other issues that
were still open, that will be conditional on this particular application.
Ronnie Hill: That is correct.
Chairperson Woodhouse: But if you just bear with us, we will give you another copy of
the C&R's if you need them.
Amv Ford: They were approved by our Town Attorney on April 7 and, I would imagine,
given to you at the April 10 work session,
Bruno Semon: It doesn't matter if they're given to you, you just have to file them, they
were approved. The main this was that you gotta go through the steps on your end to
finish up the legalities.
Ronnie Hill: Oh, I understand that.
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK, so let me assume then...
--------------
------
South old Town Planninq Board Paqe Eiqhteen Mav 8. 2006
Ronnie Hill: It's just that I don't have them. To answer the question, they have not
been; if I need to file them, I will file them, but I don't have them to file.
Bruno Semon: Excuse me, Mr. Hill, did you or did you not submit them to us? Did you
submit them to the Planning Department?
Ronnie Hill: Yes.
Bruno Semon: So, that's it. That's the set of C&R's that needs to be filed. It's the copy
that you submitted to our Department.
Ronnie Hill: Well, let's back up for just a moment. They were submitted; they were
being reviewed by the Planning Board, and then from there they were going to be
reviewed by the Town Attorney to make sure that they were correct, and reflective of
what.. .
Chairperson Woodhouse: They were reviewed by the Planning Board at a work
session; they were reviewed by the Town Attorney, and they were returned to the
applicant. So they are, you have them, but if you need another copy, we will arrange
for you to get them.
Ronnie Hill: I do, thank you.
Bruno Semon: Correction, Jeri, they haven't been returned. Because basically what
we have is a draft, So, what happens is, we don't have an executed copy, so we need
to get what would be an executed file copy. So, there is nothing else to return to you,
Mr. Hill. The set of C&R's that you had given to us, which we gave to you at the work
session, were the ones approved, the very last final draft that you gave to us simply
needs to be executed and filed. You have a copy because you submitted them to us.
And if you didn't submit them to us, then your applicant must have submitted them.
Ronnie Hill: I will check, I will verify that.
Bruno Semon: So, that's set. We don't have to give nothing else back to you; you
should have an original set of what was submitted,
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK. And if you can't find them, we'll make sure that you
have a copy.
Bruno Semon: We'll make another copy.
Ronnie Hill: If you could give me a copy, because I don't recall getting a copy; I'm not
sure that I was even here at that meeting.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Let me just ask that a member of the staff will go outside
and make a copy and that you'll have them to take with you.
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Nineteen Mav 8. 2006
Ronnie Hill: Great. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on
this application?
Mark Terrv: There's a question that I have regarding the trees in the side yard on the
western side, There's a trustee buffer, but it doesn't continue all the way to the road,
and the Senior Site Plan Reviewer has brought up to me that you indicated that that's
going to be undisturbed buffer; are those trees going to remain?
Craiq Arm. BCB Realtv Holdinq Corp.: Our intent is other than beyond the side of the
curb for the parking lot where all of maybe two feet or whatever the minimal
disturbance is; all the trees that are along the side of that ravine and everything are to
remain; we have no intentions on taking out trees that aren't part of.
Mark Terrv: Is that indicated on the site plan, or in the C&R's at this point? Say you
sell the property; how do we legally protect those trees into perpetuity?
Craiq Arm: I don't believe this has ever come up before until now, You know, as far as
that being a concern or anything else. Our intentions weren't to do that, although I don't
believe it was ever brought up formally until this moment. So, I guess I'm not sure how
to answer that.
Bruno Semon: There are some trees showing on that site plan; basically the trees that
are shown on the site plan are up in the front here, I don't know if you can see it. So,
there's four trees here, this one here and a few in the back. That's what's illustrated on
the (inaudible); the rest of them just don't seem to be shown, You were gonna put them
on, I think, was the intent.
Craiq Arm: The trees that were on that site plan I believe are ones over a certain
caliper that we had to maintain showing. But it is not our intent to go and cut all the rest
of the trees that are there. If you'd like that demonstrated on there, I'll be happy to do
that too. I'm not sure, is there a limit of clearing or just what was stated by the other
agency so would not show anything in there. So, we can do that and address that as
one thing.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Mr. Terry?
Mark Terrv: Well, in fact, you did represent that you were going to protect those as a
non-disturbance buffer. I would just like you to add it as a Covenant & Restriction
clause before you file them, that the trees over x amount of inches dbh remain into
perpetuity undisturbed in the western buffer. Something pretty simple, just prior to filing
them. So they run with the land.
Craiq Arm: OK. The only thing, towards the road there is one area that I could show
you on here that I believe is something that the Town Engineer had changed with the
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Twentv Mav 8. 2006
drainage, where I believe it is just right on the other side of the curb. So there might be
a small area, if it's designated on here, but anything other than that we really don't have
any intention
Mark Terrv: That's fine, The concern was if in fact it was represented that those trees
were going to remain if you sold the property it wouldn't run with the land and someone
could potentially change the gateway sort of appearance to Greenport.
Craiq Arm: OK, there's no issue, no problem with that, we're happy to have that. For
part of that Covenant and Restriction, that's just something we can just add it; if you'd
like us to resubmit it for review.....
Mark Terrv: You could fax it to us, it's like two lines, it's very simple.
Craiq Arm: OK, thank you.
Bruno Semon: Is the board OK with adding that to the C&R's?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes.
Bruno Semon: So we'll get that; so before the C&R's are filed, Mr. Hill, we need to add
that and just get a draft in and I'll get that.,.,
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is it possible that it's something they could take care of now,
and give you a copy.
Bruno Semon: If Mark knows, if Mr. Terry knows the wording.
Ronnie Hill: Because otherwise I would prefer having it to go back through the review
process to make sure this is as complete as possible.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I think Mr. Terry has indicated two sentences that he is
recommending be added, and it sounds like that's something that he could write and
you could take care of this evening.
Ronnie Hill: That makes it easy, because then it's something that you guys will be in
agreement with.
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK.
Bruno Semon: Did she copy the C&R's for you? So maybe we could have it, we'll write
them right on there for you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Yes, did you want to address the Board?
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Twentv-One Mav 8.2006
Brett Kehl: Just one of the things if we could put in there too, I'm going to say healthy
trees, because I can have a 60' high tree that may be dying, and after building this
project I don't want them falling down because I'm not allowed to remove a tree. So, if
we could have the word "healthy" or something so that if there is a problem with the
tree, I want to just protect my property.
Mark Terrv: And you know, up to a certain point, the underbrush too; you look like
you're clearing that provisional access and that's final, so it's just a matter of
Brett Kehl: Yes, the Trustees recommended us to enhance it to create a nicer flowing
area to the water.
Mark Terrv: OK,
Chairperson Woodhouse: Would anybody else like to address the Board on this
application? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to keep the hearing open,
Georqe Solomon: So moved.
Joseph Townsend: I am going to recuse myself on votes on this issue. As it turns out I
have a relationship with one of the principals and I've been advised that it would be
better if I don't vote on this either way.
Chairperson Woodhouse: OK. So what we're doing is, we're entertaining a motion to
hold this hearing open pending the filing of the C&R's and any of the other items we
need to have to close it out. So, the motion is to hold the hearing open. Is there a
second?
Ken Edwards: Second,
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.
Chairperson Woodhouse: We have one abstention. The resolution to hold the hearing
open passes.
Now your question is: we can resolve these issues at a work session when we have all
the materials that we need to close this out.
Ronnie Hill: And at that work session we can then close the hearing, the hearing can
be then closed, or will we have to come back before; how do we close the hearing
publicly?
Chairperson Woodhouse: Bruno, you're shaking your head.
Bruno Semon: Yes, it's June 12, the next public meeting,
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Twentv-Two Mav 8. 2006
Chairperson Woodhouse: We'll close it out. At the next meeting we'll just officially
close it out. And by then we will have received, hopefully, all the approvals that we are
waiting for from the other departments and you'll have the C&R's filed.
Ronnie Hill: Great. Thank you,
Chairperson Woodhouse: You're welcome,
(Ken Edwards left the meeting at this point.)

Hearings Held Over From Previous Meetings:
Charnews. Daniel & Steohanie: This proposal is to subdivide a 23.4004-acre parcel

Chairperson Woodhouse: There is a resolution to continue to hold this hearing open.
Mr, Solomon, would you please read the resolution?
Georqe Solomon: BE IT RESOLVED, that the South old Town Planning Board hereby
holds open the public hearing for the Charnews Subdivision.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Second, All in favor?
Ayes,
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? That motion carries.

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#'s1000-78-7-5.3 7 5.4
Chairperson Woodhouse: We are going to hold this hearing open as well. There is
some additional testimony that someone in the audience would like to read into the
record. So Oust let me find the right page here), before we vote on the resolution,
please state your name and we will hear your comments.
Wavne Swiatocha: I just wanted to read into the record that since the last meeting,
Paula Ohlman and the Carisotto family had retained David Dubin as an attorney in this
Southold Town Planninq Board Paqe Twentv-Three Mav 8. 2006
matter. Joel Warner, Robbie Hamilton's family and Eric Ahrer's family have also joined
in retaining that same attorney in this matter. Just a couple of quick updates: Peconic
Estuary and wastewater management were going to call in an engineer on this. I spoke
with Peconic Estuary today; they still have not had the meeting with the engineer.
Peconic Estuary is kind of following this very closely; maybe thinking that it sets some
sort of precedent. The other thing was, at the last meeting we had mentioned that we
had retained Greenman and Petersen to flag the wetlands/do a wetlands evaluation on
it. The price they were charging was fairly exhorbitant: $5,000, which we thought was
quite a bit to flag the wetlands. We are now looking into different agencies that may be
able to help us with flagging the wetlands, I'm kind of glad that we didn't have them do
it, even for the $5,000, because the day after the last Planning Board meeting, Mr.
Baxter has signs of "no trespassing" on just about every portion of his property. So I
don't know if it's something that he just doesn't want the people on his property, or if he
feels like he has something to hide, but I just thought that we should mention that we
could evaluate the wetlands surrounding his property, but to go on his property is going
to be virtually impossible because every portion of it has "no trespassing" signs all over
it. So, I don't know if there is anything that the Board or the Town can do to maybe try
to flag these wetlands, or would have any jurisdiction over that, but I think if we hire
anyone privately, we're only going to be able to look at the wetlands around his property
and not the wetlands on his property.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. And we will bring that to the attention of the
staff. OK.
I will entertain the resolution to hold this hearing open.
Georqe Solomon: So moved,
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Opposed? That motion carries. This is the end of our
formal public hearings.
