PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 p.m. - Mullen Motors: This amended site plan is for a proposed alteration of 14,227 sq.
ft. on SCTM#1 000-62-03-22.5 to be used as an automotive dealership on a 44,152 sq. ft.
parcel in the B & R-40 Zones located at the s/w intersection of NYS Road 25 and Cottage
Place in Southold and on SCTM#'s1000-63-3-22.5, 11 & 24.1
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone who would like to speak on behalf of this
application?
Richard Lark: Yes, we've filed all of the plans and, as you know, this had a companion
application with RWM Enterprises which was approved by the Planning Board back in May.
I've been told that the site plan that you have before you does comply with everything; the only
correction and, of course, it is for an amended site plan which this Board granted on March 12,
2001, and this is an amendment to it. It includes basically the same real estate except with
the addition of what was Colonial Corners, but we added at 8,000 some odd square feet to the
Mullen Realty LP property. The only thing in your notice is, it's all Zone B. That was done by
the Town Board back in 2000, so other than that, there's no R-40 Zone, it's all the same
zoning, everything. Other than that, unless the Board has any questions, Mr. Mullen is here to
answer any specific questions the Board might have.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Does anyone on the Board have any questions at this
time? Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on this application?
Kathv Pulver: I live across the street from Mullen on Cottage Place, and I have a number of
concerns: first of all is the appearance of the new building that's going to replace the
temporary building. Of course, the issues that concern me are soundproofing, the character of
the neighborhood, landscaping. They landscaped last time, but now the cars are parking in
front of the landscaping, so that doesn't really help. My second concern really is parking at all
during working hours in front of my house on Cottage Place. Cars bearing Mullen service tags
sit there for hours and hours, sometimes up to two or three. Also, that results in my property
being used as a bit of a garbage dumping ground. I'm always picking up trash, definitely
dealership trash, things in the bushes, it's not very nice. Also, the current congestion on
Cottage Place is really becoming a problem. Cars are often double parked near the corner,
and you can't see, it creates blind spots, you can't see where you're going. Basically, traffic
congestion in general and my specific question is where are the exits and entrances going to
be, and are there going to be any on Cottage Place?
Richard Lark: Mr. Mullen is here, he can address the other ones, I didn't hear all of them, but
the one I did hear was the parking and congestion on Cottage Place. The whole purpose of
the plan, other than the holder of the dealership, Daimler Chrysler, wanted the thing
modernized for all the interior work, is that all work will be done inside the new building. The
entrance only will be on Cottage Place, the exit will be in the parking lot in the rear of the
building. So there will be, except for stopping and moving into the garage, there should
eliminate, I can't speak to all, if somebody stops their car and gets out, I can't do anything
about that, but anybody coming for servicing of their cars will not be parking them on Cottage
Southold Town Planning Board

August 14, 2006
Place anymore, they'll be parking them on the staging area in the rear, and then they're going
to move into the building and be totally worked on in the building and then when they're done,
they'll be removed to the parking lot in the rear, so the only time that they'll appear on Cottage
Place is when the customer arrives, and the attendant will deliver his or her car to the person.
That was one of the principal applications and thought on this whole thing is to get rid of that
confusion, congestion on Cottage Place. Now, I didn't hear all of the other ones, if you've got
them...
Chairperson Woodhouse: It was about landscaping, the appearance of the building, and
when those cars come out after service and they're in the back, which way do they exit?
Richard Lark: Well, they'll exit out on Cottage Place, but they won't be parked on Cottage
Place. OK? They'll go in and go out. They go into the building on Cottage Place and don't
come out until they go into the parking lot. Now the landscaping, the State along the show lot
where the cars are parked on the west side of Cottage Place, they're working on what plans,
that's the State property there, so we don't have a lot of control and they're working on the
plantings that will be put there. Right now it's grass and they are working on that because it
has to be certain salt-resistant plants. As far as on the Main Road, those plants pretty much
have all been put into place except for around the new portion of the building there; that's
going to be addressed, and you have that on your plan. What was the other one?
Chairperson Woodhouse: The appearance of the building.
Richard Lark: Oh. Well that, the renderings have been given to the Architectural Review
Committee and as far as, I did not attend, Richard Mullen did. I was away. He said that after
they made their modifications and Mullen Realty has complied with it, that's been approved. Is
that right, Rich?
Richard Mullen: Yes.
Richard Lark: That's alii know about that. And I think they're available because the
Architectural Review Committee required the elevations. Did I answer all the questions?
Kathv Pulver: I'd just like to know exactly where the entrance and exits are on Cottage Place.
Richard Lark: Oh. If I could take a moment here, I do have that on the site plan. The
entrance is going to be right over here where they're going to go in, and they're going to come
out back here, in the rear of the building. See, this is all going to be a new building over here.
See the building? They're going to come out over here. They go in over here and they come
out over here. Is that right, Rich? Do I have the right spots?
Kathv Pulver: So this is a temporary...
Richard Lark: Well, the temporary building is gone.
Kathv Pulver: Right, but this is where the temporary building...

Richard Lark: It's back here.
Kathy Pulver: Oh, back here.
Richard Lark: Yes, ma'am. It's back here.
Kathy Pulver: And there won't be any...
Richard Lark: They come out this way, to the rear, to the south. Does that answer your
question?
Kathy Pulver: Yes, it does. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on this
application? I will entertain a motion to close this hearing.

6:15 p.m. - Savits, Barrv: This proposal is to subdivide a 12.454 acre parcel into three lots,
where lot 1 equals 1.23 acres, lot 2 equals 1.034 acres and lot 3 equals 10.19 acres,
inclusive of a .73-acre building envelope and 7.854 acres of subdivision open space. The
property is located on the east side of Sound View Avenue, approximately 932 feet north of
Mill Road in Peconic. SCTM# 1000-68-4-16.1

August 14,2006
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone here who would like to speak on behalf of this
application?
Garv Olsen: I am the attorney for the applicant, Barry Savits, in connection with his three-lot
subdivision. The property involved is a 12.454-acre parcel to be divided into 3 lots: Lot 1
equals 1.23 acres, Lot 2 equals 1.034 acres, and Lot 3, which is currently improved with the
applicant's residence, equals 10.19 acres inclusive of a .73-acre building envelope and 7.854
acres of subdivision open space. This subdivision has been before the Planning Board for
many years in several forms. It did receive preliminary approval in basically its current form
from the Planning Board and the Suffolk County Health Department prior to the moratorium.
After the moratorium was over, the application was revitalized and, after making changes to
the map as requested by the Planning Board, sketch plan approval from the Planning Board
was granted on April 10, 2006. At its meeting on July 10, 2006, the Planning Board
established itself as Lead Agency under the State Environmental Quality Act. The Planning
Board determined that there would be no substantial adverse change in existing air quality,
ground or surface water quality, traffic or noise levels, no substantial increase in solid waste
production, potential of erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems. The proposed
subdivision increases the density by only two residential lots, and includes the perpetual
preservation of 60% of the buildable land. The proposed subdivision will result in fewer lots
than what is permitted at full density development. To the contrary, the project will maximize
the space potential of the parcel by permanently preserving over 60% of the buildable land as
pointed out by the Planning Board at its meeting on July 10, 2006. Covenants and
Restrictions have been prepared by direction of the Planning Board and forwarded to the
Planning Board. After several revisions, the final revised Declaration of Covenants &
Restrictions was approved by Anthony Trezza, Senior Planner of the Planning Board office by
fax on August 11, 2006. Furthermore, as required, the applicant will be filing an agricultural
easement for the open space pursuant to Section A 1 06-49c of the Southold Town Code. A
non-jurisdiction letter has been received from the Southold Town Trustees by letter of May 4,
2006, and I am waiting for a non-jurisdiction letter from the DEC. In consideration of the long
history of this subdivision application, and taking into consideration that the final proposed
subdivision only increases the density by two residential lots, preserves over 60% of the
buildable land, and results in fewer lots than what is permitted at full density development, and
due to the fact that the proposed subdivision will not impair the character of the existing
community or neighborhood and will have no significant impact on a habitat area or natural
resources, it is respectfully requested that the Planning Board grant preliminary approval of the
maps prepared by Stanley J. Isaksen, Land Surveyor, dated August 12,1999 and last revised
April 24, 2006. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: You're welcome. Is there anyone else who would like to speak on
this application? I will entertain a motion to close this hearing.
Georqe Solomon: So moved.

WHEREAS, on June 29, 2006, the Southold Town Planning Board received a letter dated
June 28, 2006 from the Mattituck fire District containing the following
comments/recommendations:
1. That the right-of-way shown at the southern end of the development between the end of
the proposed road and Factory Avenue, labeled "pedestrian and emergency access" be
maintained year long with the ability to sustain the entrance and egress of emergency
vehicles should an emergency develop that would prevent access from Sound Avenue.
2. If Suffolk County does not install a water main, the Mattituck Fire District should have
the opportunity to re-review this subdivision with recommendations for fire wells.
3. The Mattituck Fire District be contacted prior to Suffolk County Water Authority main
installation to have the ability to locate fire hydrants within the development, due to the
closeness of the structures; and
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2006, the Southold Town Planning Board received a second letter
from the Mattituck Fire District recommending that two (2) new hydrants be located on the
proposed road, with the first located approximately 550' from the intersection of Sound Avenue
and the second located at the end of the road close to the "emergency access; and
WHEREAS. on July 18, 2006, the South old Town Planning Board received a report from the
Office of the Town Engineer containing the following comments and/or recommendations:
1. Drainage calculations have been provided and they are satisfactory.
South old Town Planning Board
Page Twenty-Three
August 14, 2006
2. Section 161-34 indicates that a maximum distance flow in roadway gutters for
subdivision pavements before a catch basin is required shall not exceed 350 feet.
Therefore, two additional catch basins will be required at station 8+50 to meet this
requirement.
3. Test hole #4 is located in the recharge basin and indicates groundwater at elevation
9.8'. The bottom elevation of the recharge basin is proposed at elevation 6'. Is the
information in the test hole accurate? If it is, the basin will need to be redesigned.
The bottom elevation of the basin should be a minimum of 2' above the water table
during the spring wet season.
4. A detailed plan of the headwall section and/or rip-rap spillway should be indicated
on the plan.
5. A note indicates that the recharge basin will have a 6' high chain link fence with
barbed wire. The barbed wire should be eliminated from the proposed fencing.
6. Screen plating has not been indicated or provided around the perimeter of the
recharge basin and street trees have not been shown. Is the Planning Board going
to waive this requirement?
7. The proposed easterly offset of the pavement at the entrance to the subdivision is
excessive. Mr. Harris would like to center a 28' road section on the 270+/- stretch of
road and reduce the width to the approved 24' section by holding the easterly edge
of pavement fixed. This would leave the easterly shoulder approximately ten feet
(10') wide and the westerly shoulder would be approximately fourteen feet (14')
wide. This item should be amended.
8. As per the Highway Superintendent and due to the narrow widths between property
lines, the typical road section should indicate the mountable curb section. This item
should be amended.
9. Section 245-45.B.5(c) read: All residential cul-de-sacs shall have a turnaround at the
end of the street which shall have a right-of-way radius of 50 feet. The curb at the
turn shall have a minimum radius of 44 feet. This item should be amended.
10. The proposed front yard for lot #1 is indicated in the table as 20'. The proposed rear
yard for lot #1 is indicated in the table as 35'. The building envelop drawn on the
plan shows a 45' rear yard. If this envelop, as drawn, is large enough for the
building footprint, I would recommend sliding the footprint back ten feet to provide a
30' front yard rather than the 20' as proposed.
11. The 20' non-disturbance. vegetated buffer adjacent to Factory Avenue extends in
front of the proposed pedestrian and emergency access. This buffer should stop
before this access way begins.
Southold Town Planning Board
Page Twenty-Four
August 14,2006
12. The cross section or proposed construction of the emergency access should be
noted or indicated on the plan. In addition, will the Planning Board require a gated
entrance to this emergency access way? Lot #10 should be prohibited from direct
access to Factory Avenue at all times.
13. Street lighting should be provided to meet the minimum requirements of the Code.
See Section 161-46; and
WHEREAS, on July 31,2006, the Southold Town Planning Board received comments from
the Suffolk County Planning Commission indicating that the subdivision application "is
considered to be a matter for local determination"; and
WHEREAS, on July 31,2006, the Southold Town Planning Board received the LWRP Coastal
Consistency Review and discussed same at their work session on July 31,2006; be it
therefore
RESOLVED, that the Southold Town Planning Board accepts the Fire District's comments and
shall require that the pedestrian and emergency access be maintained year long with the
ability to sustain the entrance and egress of emergency vehicles and that two (2) new hydrants
be located on the proposed road, with the first located approximately 550' from the intersection
of Sound Avenue and the second located at the end of the road close to the "emergency
access.

Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.
Chairperson Woodhouse: And be it further RESOLVED, that the Southold Town Planning
Board hereby grant the requested relief on the map prepared by Victor Bert, P.E. of Nelson
and Pope dated May 31, 2006 and last revised on June 1, 2006, pursuant to Section 280-
28(B) of the Southold Town Code, based on the following:
1. The relief. as cranted. will not create an undesirable chance in the character of
the neiahborhood or be detrimental to nearbv properties. There are a number of
existing narrow lots along Sound Avenue and Factory Avenue. This
development is a first step in addressing the affordable housing needs of the
Town and will provide a public benefit to the both the surrounding neighborhood
and the Town as a whole.
2. The benefit souaht bv the applicant cannot be achieved bv some other method,
other than the variance souaht. In order to maximize the buffer areas to
adjacent properties while providing adequate room for the construction of the
homes, the reduction of the dimensional requirements is necessary.
3. The variances souaht are not substantial. Based on all of the lot width
dimensions shown on the map, the average lot width for this subdivision is 77',
where 80' is the minimum required.
Southold Town Planning Board
Page Twenty-Six
August 14, 2006
4. The variances will not have an adverse effect or impact on the phvsical or
environmental conditions in the neiahborhood or district. The environmental
review for this project was based on a total of 22 lots. The reduction in the
dimensional requirements will not result in an increase in density and therefore is
not expected to change the environmental impacts. In addition, the lot
configuration mitigates the potential visual impacts of the development to
adjacent property owners.
5. The difficultv was not self-created. The design of this site has been an on-going
effort between the Town of Southold and the Community Development
Corporation of Long Island. In working with the applicant, the Planning Board felt
it was necessary to provide as much protection to the adjacent property owners
by way of vegetated buffers. In doing so, the design of the site requires the
reduction of lot width for a number of lots and a reduction in the front yard
setback for lot 1 ;
Ken Edwards: Second the motion.
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.

far.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Please come up to the microphone and state your name, then I'll
explain it to you.
Jim Goodwin: Jim Goodwin. Depot Lane, Cutchogue, adjacent property. I want to know: how
could it get past the Board to this point?
Chairperson Woodhouse: It has not gotten past the Board. This is an application; this action
is running concurrently with that application. All this enables this Board to do is to begin to
look at the environmental issues under the SEQRA law.
Southold Town Planning Board
Page Thirty-Seven
August 14, 2006
Jim Goodwin: Because I'm under the understanding that it shouldn't have been here, it should
have went to the Town Board first, and it hasn't.
Chairperson Woodhouse: It is before the Town Board to get a permit to operate a transfer
station. A permit is required within the Town.
Jim Goodwin: I talked to Scott Russell and he said nothing has come before him. I talked to AI
Krupski, nothing has come before him. L10 does not allow a transfer station and whatever in
that business: light industrial.
Bruno Semon: Mr. Goodwin, there was an application made to the Town Clerk on behalf of
the Town Board prior to the Planning Board receiving an application.
Jim Goodwin: I don't know anything about it; my wife will talk.
Marilvn Goodwin: Yes, we are aware of that; Mr. Russell showed it to us and they discussed it
at length at their work session when that came forward.
Bruno Semon: That's the application that was applied for a transfer permit from the Town
Board.
Marilvn Goodwin: Salvage permit. And that is not an allowed usage in L10. We have been
told that putting this process forward first is like putting the cart before the horse. They are
supposed to come in and put in for a zone change; this is not a permitted use in L10, which is
directly behind our house. The other acreage is right to the south of it, that's zoned L1, you
voted for other things to go through to go down there, which is fine.
Bruno Semon: It's not permitted...
Marilvn Goodwin: This is what we are told: that it's not an allowed use in L10.
Bruno Semon: It's not permitted in any zone in the Town of Southold without that permit from
the Town Board. It's an overlapping permit that must be issued by the Town Board for any
zone that it's placed in; it's not a permitted use anywhere that I know of.
Marilvn Goodwin: Correct. So, why go through all of this process; why not go before the Town
Board first?
Bruno Semon: Because this process concurrently....
Amy Ford: I don't think the Town Board will review it until the SEQRA evaluation has been
done as well as the LWRP review. So, those two things need to be done, and they're done
through the Planning Board before the Town Board can complete their review of the permit
application, if I understand it correctly.
Southold Town Planning Board
Page Thirty-Eight
August 14, 2006
Marilvn Goodwin: My understanding is that's not so, that this process doesn't even start until
after the Town; because, for everybody's sake, why put everybody through this whole entire
process? And then that's putting the Town Board in a spot.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Well, I think one of the answers to that is there needs to be some
information provided to the Town to inform their decision, and some of the information that
they would be looking for is the information that would come up under this SEQRA. That's the
State Environmental Quality Review.
Marilvn Goodwin: I know what it is, and I know that it's basically just a process that needs to
be done. That's alii want to say about that. We are not the only ones that feel this way.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I am going to ask Mark to respond to your comment about the
process.
Mark Terrv: To answer your question why it's before the Town Board: it's before the Town at
extreme risk to the applicant. The applicant has no guarantee that use will be granted. He
can be denied, and his efforts in the Planning Board may not come to fruition. So, it's at his
risk that he's pursuing the application with the Planning Board.
Marilvn Goodwin: And so what happens now? You're going to allow the SEQRA review,
which, they're not going to find any problems, then what?
Mark Terrv: They're sending that out.
Chairperson Woodhouse: What was your answer to that?
Bruno Semon: It's actually a coordinated review process, so we're asking each agency to
comment on it. If you'd like, you can get a copy of the resolution through a FOil, and you'll
see how many agencies are involved with this as a part of the review under SEQRA. We
need comments from each one of those agencies to complete the review.
Marilvn Goodwin: Correct. And how long does this take?
Bruno Semon: A minimum of 20 days.
Marilvn Goodwin: A minimum of 20 days for all the agencies to come back to you.
Bruno Semon: Absolute minimum is 20.
Marilvn Goodwin: So, conceivably, they could possibly make your next meeting.
Bruno Semon: Maybe.
Southold Town Planning Board
Page Thirty-Nine
August 14, 2006
Marilvn Goodwin: Based on that, now let me ask you this: based on the SEQRA then, does it
go before the Town Board before it comes back here, or do they get to come back here and
get preliminary site plan approval?
Bruno Semon: There's never been a preliminary site plan approval issued in my time at the
Town. The Town Board must grant a permit before this Board can issue approval on this.
Marilvn Goodwin: Before the preliminary or the final, that's what I'm asking.
Bruno Semon: Ma'am, there's never been a preliminary approval given by this Board for site
plan. It's either approval or not.
Marilvn Goodwin: OK, we'll follow up on it because obviously there's some miscommunication
here between the two Boards. But thank you.
