After we left your office, we visited Jim Monsell and obtained a letter that leaves the door partly open to the Greenport municipal sewer system. The same evening at the Planning Board, the main concern was whether we would be able to hookup to the municipal sewer system. We believe the Planning Board recognizes the need for tourism and the desirablility of a KOA Kampground in Southold. We womld like the opportunity to make a 30 minute presentation, question, and answer session at an executive m~eting of the Town Board, provided you and the Town Attorney could find this in proper order. We greatly appreciate your interest and support of our project. Very truly yours, Richard C. Wilton reenport, Suffolk Coun/ , ¥.

Enclosed are figures from the KOA Kampground 1-70 at Mount Comfort Interchange, Mount Comfort, Indiana. ~is is one of the few campgrounds that meters water usage and keeps records. They are recording an average of hl.58 gallons per campsite per day. This is closer to my own experience t~a n the rate used by the Town of Southold. I am forwarding this information as it was an open item at our May 2, 1973 meeting that I agreed to supply. Again, Thank you for providing time to review my idea for a K0A Kampground.

I do hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of Southold to change, modify and amend the Building Zone Ordinance of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, including the Building Zone Maps heretofore made a part thereof, as follows: PARCEL I - From "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "M-l" General Multiple Residence District PARCEL 2 - From "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "B" Light Business District 3. Such request is made for the following reasons: Your petitioners are owners of a Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) franchise for EasternLong Island and have purchased the parcels of land described in Schedules 1 and 2 which consist of a total of 24 acres, formerly known as the Leo Sledjeski farm on the south side of Middle Road and the westerly side of Queen ~treet, near Greenport, New York. Your petitioners are proposing to develop these parcels of land as a KOA campground for the seasonal use and enjoyment of the camping public. As seen from Exhibits 1 and 3, it is intended that parcel 1 which consists of 18.8727 acres be developed for camping sites. The proposed layout will allow ample space for 133 sites for trailers and vehicles and 29 campsites for campers with tents for a total of 162 camping sites. The proposed road layout, Exhibit 9, will help to pre- serve the natural character and atmOsphere of the campground. It is proposed to plant trees and other suitable planting and shrubbery around the boundary of the property and throughout the campground to provide a blending in with the surrounding woodland and also to provide screening and shade to campsites. Parcel 2 consisting of 5.1273 acres is primarily for the construction of a recreation area as an accessory use to the campground. In this area there will be constructed such amenities as a swimming pool, additional picnic and parking areas, play- grounds for children, and a miniature golf course for the use of the campers. Also, there will be located on this parcel the KOA "A-frame" style building as depicted in Exhibit 4. This building will house the administrative offices, a lounge, rest rooms, a store for the purchase of convenience goods and a laundromat for the use of the campers. Your petitioners are proposing a Decla- ration of Protective Covenants and Restrictions which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7 restricting the use of parcel 2 so that the buildings erected on this parcel will be only those used in con- nection with-transient travel trailer campgrounds. In addition, the petitioners are proposing a Declaration of Protective Cove- nants and Restrictions to provide a landscape buffer zone of .4732 acre, prohibiting the construction of any buildings on the northerly 100 feet of the property as it fronts on County Road 27. This Declaration is attached hereto as Exhibit 8. Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) is the largest and most experienced system of franchise family campgrounds in America. In order to give some idea of the nature and scope of the KOA campground-system, the petitioners are enclosing Exhibit 5 which is the KOA Handbook and Directory for Campers and Exhibit 6, a KOA brochure entitled "Your Town, U.S.A." To keep a EOA franchise, individualcampground owners must meet and maintain standards for sanitation, neatness and cleanliness. To assure quality camp- trounds and maintenance of its standards, KOA frequently sends inspectors to various campgrounds. The property is near various tourist attractions in the Town of Southold and the shopping area of the Village of Green- port. The proposed campground will promote the .tourist industry of Southold Town and allow for open spaces that would not be achieved by permitted residential development. When complete, the campground will be the finest on Eastern Long Island and will be a tremendous asset in attracting camping tourists. The main entrance to the campground will be approximately 600 feet south of Middle Road on the westerly side of Queen Street and this will relieve possible traffic congestion on the Middle Road. Public water supply and sanitary sewage disposal will be supplied by the Incorporated Village of Greenport. The parcel is cleared and is ideal for the proposed campground because of its relative.isolation from surrounding homes and businesses. The parcel is bounded on the north by Middle Road. Immediately across this road are several parcels of land which are vacant, and it is bounded on the east by Queen Street and vacant land of the Village of Greenport. Im- mediately across Queen Street to the east are several small residences. The property is bounded on the south by other vacant woodland of the Village of Greenport and on the west by land of J. Fenno and A. R. Francisco which is vacant and land of Leo Sledjeski upon which is located his residence. Your petitioners submit that the development of this camp- ground as proposed will be a definite asset to the Town of Southold and will increase the tourist industry, and increase the tax revenue to the Town without the usual corresponding overburdening of schools and other municipal facilities.

S. A." Kaml I OUm S of . Ime 'i a, ,[aa. Box 1108 BILLINGS, MONTANA 59103 KAMPGROUNDS OF AMERICA, INC. an opportunity for '"YOUR TOWN, U.S.A." In 1961 the Billings, Montana Chamber of Commerce became interested in establish- ing a campground to accommodate camping travelers going through that city. It was first conceived as a municipal campground. How- ever, when four Billings businessmen offered to build the facility, the city fathers were delighted, and a small campground with a central-facilities building was opened in the summer of 1962. It was immediately success- ful, and the owners began to hear from campers about the inadequate campgrounds in other parts of the nation. In the winter of 1962, they sent out 3,000 questionnaires to campers who had stayed at the Billings campground in the previous two years. More than 1,600 were completed and returned. They clearly spelled out the need for addi- tional campgrounds with certain basic facili- ties and with a national identification that would assure the camper of high-quality overnight-type family camping parks. As a result of this need, Kampgrounds of America, Inc., was formed in 1963 and was based on the concept of providing high- quality family camping parks under a na- tionally franchised name, which would be located in high-traffic areas peripheral to cities. KOA... Fills a Need A phenomenal growth in outdoor recre- ation and camping is underway in America. Increased leisure time, better highways and improved camping equipment have resulted in tripling the number of campers in the last five years. Industry predictions are for an- other tripling in the next four years. Camping facilities have not kept pace with this booming market. Camper surveys by KOA and federal and state agencies indi- cate an enormous need for attractive, clean, full-service camping parks, campground re- sorts and travel trailer parks throughout the country. No section of the country has more than a few, usually overcrowded and known only locally. The serious need for an organized ap- proach to this growing market, providing both resort and overnight accommodations, is being filled by KOA. More than a hundred kampgrounds, almost three hundred fran, chises in just four years testifies to the soundness of KOA's program. Bu! wha! does a KOA mean "Your Town, U.S.A.?" First, let's start with the basic question, does your community need a camping park of some sort? With the camping public trip- ling in the next four years, proper camping facilities will provide a major source of the traveler's dollar. In fact, a seventy-five unit camping park can contribute as much to your city's economy as a twenty employee industry without involving smokestacks, kids to educate, or old folks to care for. This onslaught of camping visitors must go somewhere. They can bypass your town, park along the highways, park in city park- ing lots, someone's backyard or in your town's oity parks. All of these locations mean problems for your town. But what type of person comprise this great camping public? According to recent surveys over forty-five percent of the camping public are professional men or skilled workers. Less than fifteen percent are retired people while the balance is made up of the people from other classifications ranging from clergy to farmers. Only one camping family in six have an annual income of less than $6,000. Nearly seventy percent made between $6,000 and $14,000. Eight percent had incomes in excess of $16,000 a year. The average camper has spent over $2,000 on his equipment with over fifteen percent having spent more than $4,000 on their equip- merit. These are a very desirable class of people to have visit your community. They are prospective investors in your com- munity's future and people who will buy supplies and services while they are there. Okay, so you want a camping park. Should you get your city council to build a camping park. Your surely can justify the spending of money to attract these tourists, but . . . why spend tax money to build the facility and maintain it? Private enterprise can do a better job while adding to your community's tax base. So your community is going to find some- one to build a private camping park.

ThEou~h our travels we became accustomed to staying at EOA (Kamp~rounds of America) recreational parks in preference to National, State, and other private campgrounds. The reason for this choice was the consistent cleanliness and availability of facilities such as hot showers, clean bathroom facilities, swimmin~ pools, and other recreational facilities to entertain my family. In December 1972, I purchased a franchise to build and operate 8 KOA campground. As a lifelong resident of Long Island, I would like to build my campground on Long Island. There are no facilities of this type available to the many campers in the Long Island area. There is a desperate need for' a recreational park of this type. The reason that I selected K0A was the high standards that are maintained and their fan- t~stic experience and success in the campground business. There are over 600 KOA campgrounds across our country. They must maintain their standards to remain in the franchise system. I have selected some pertinent facts about camping and KOA. I am submittin~ them to you for review. I have been scheduled to appear at the May 2, 1973 Planning Board meeting and would like to present my general plan for the construction of a campground in the Township of Southold. I am requesting that you support me and make suggestions con- cerning this project. In particular, I would like to know your views on which areas of the town would be acceptable to the Board. Upon receipt of your suggestions, I would like to purchase land and present a final plan for your review and approval.

Wilton Appendix - KOA Information Package IntrOduction This is a preliminary plan Which generally describes the type of campground that I would like to construct in the Township of Southold, Long Island, New York. This plan is written to briefly describe the type of industry that camping is all about, my reasons for selectinF KOA (KampFrounds of America), and the need for such a facility on Long Island. What I am ~ttemptin~ to accomplish is support from the Plan- ning Board 9nd constructive sug~estions including areas in which the Board would like a campground located. The fiFures, articles, and plans included in this document are from KOA campgrounds that are already in existence. The camp- ~round that I would like to construct would be similar, but it would be designed specifically for this particular campground taking into consideration the particular piece of land and suggestions from the town, county, and state officials. The quality of the .acllities will be to K0A standards which are based on years of experience and are higher and more spe- cific than imposed by the county or state. 2.0 The Ca~pin~Industry In 1971 there were approximately ~0 million campers in the United States. Tais equates to about 12.~ million camping families. The numbers of people enjoying camping are tn- creasin~ at a rapid rate. ~ais is largely due to the fact that there are more three day weekends and people like to travel away from their homes with their families whenever possible. The industry is set up to service individuals ~o travel with tents, pop-up campers, travel trailers, and motor homes such as manufactured by Winebago and General Motors. The investment in campers ranges from around ~h,000 for a travel trailer to ~25,000 for a motor home. K0A surveys indicate that the average age of the head of the household of a camping family ~s between ~5 and ~ years of a~e. Approximately ~% are professional, executive or manager types. Their average income is around $1~,000 per year. The average length of stay at a c~mp~round is 1.5 nights. Tais type of person, which the camping industry services, is de~andin~ better accomodations and facilities. Kampgrounds of America has reco~nized this need and has set their stand- ards with this in mind. ~ais industry is a non-pollutant leisure time industry which pays t~xes, supports employment, and creates tourist dollars to surround!n~ to~.ms. Followin~ is an article from the Informer/Star, Burkburnett, Texas entitled Most Misunderstood Industry. 'Page 4 SMOKE SIGNALS April 1973 in the INFORMER/STAR, Burkburnett, Texas, Most Mtsunderstood Industry Few people realize how big an industry camping has become and especially its impact at a local level. Here and there, in towns like Burkburnett, Texas, they're becoming informed. Last year more tourists camped at the Red River KOA Kampground than there are citizens of Burkburnett today. "The tourist dollar is often described as 'extra' money or gravy money," com- ments the city newspaper INFORMER/ STAR. "When a tourist visits a city he spends money for food, clothing, en- tertainment, gas and a whole host of other items· He never asks the city to provide excellent school systems to educate his children, nor does he demand the many other things that a city must provide its citizens/' Marge and Walt Doerre opened their campground in June of 1969. Last year over 13,000 tourists camped with them. On a national average, a camping family will spend $17 per day in the city they are visiting. A little pencil and paper work, figuring four persons per camping family, shows that the Burkbumett area should have received $55,250 in tourist dollars attributable to the Red River KOA during 1972. This is considering persons only stayed one day at the campground; many spent several, according to Doerre. ~NFORMER/STAR Photos ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES Find the KOA an excellent place to spend the night and like the ease of parking on large, level, grass, pull-thru sites. Although most think of camping as warfn weather activity, "We have had orqy a half dozen times since we opened in 1969 that there hasn't been at least one camper using our facilities each night," relates Doerre. "Considering we are open 365 days a year, that takes in plenty of adverse weather conditions." What makes the Red River KOA the favorite of many? The hard work put in by the Doerre's, including daughter Barbara and sons Larry and Butch, have a great deal to do with it. Shade covered picnic tables, charcoal grills, service utilities and a range of personable comforts add to their camper's pleasure. CLEAN, SPACIOUS SWIMMING POOL Provides a refreshing treat lo campers and local citizens alike. In season the large pool is reserved for KOA guests after 5:00 p.m. "We have people in here every week that lived in Burkburnett during the oil boom Many of them come back by here just to see what it's like now. Tourists like things to see and things to do. That's why many of them visit our Oil Park and play par 3 golf at the Boomtown Golf Center. We actively encourage our citizens and the business community to offer the tourist even more--it means extra dollars for the area," Doerre explains. What recognition does the community afford the Red River KOA? The Burk- bumett INFORMER/STAR gives an in- teresting perspective. "As the television commercial goes . . . 'it's America's most misunderstood soft drink,' possibly KOA is Burkburnett's most misunderstood industry. With the local Red River KOA Kampground stopping 13,000 tourists last April 1973 SMOKE SIGNALS C~PGROUND PANORAMA Presents a 8ood cover ot mo~n grass and y~n8 t~ t~at are 8rowing rapidly, awliti.8 to make career stays mom enjoyable. KOA CAMPERS Visit with the Doene's overnight only to spend added days at the KOA because of comforts like the A-frame weathe.r shelters. year and considering the amount of 'extra' money these tourists spend in Burkburnett, the Doerre's KOA is definitely one of Burkbumett's most important industries. And one that is growing at a rapid pace every year." WALT DOERRE Works at promoting his community and the "CARES" image of Red River KOA. Page 3.0 The K0A System Kamp5rounds of America is a publically owned corporation located in Billin~s, Montana to service the leisure time industry. It is also the largest and the most experienced in the camping field. At the present time, there are over 600 K0A campgrounds franchised and under operation in the United States. K0A also has franchises in Mexico and Canada. The system has been designed to provide first class facilities to campers as has been the policy of Holiday Inns and Howard Johnsons in the motel industry. Due to the investment in the construction and maintenance of a K0A campground, the owner is required to charffe a fee which is hi~her than the campground without adequate facilities. ~is tnturn attracts people from a higher economic level and eliminates those who may be undesirable. The K0A symbol is the "A" frame building which is built in 'a 62' or ~2' version. These buildings are specifically de- sf~ned to house a convenience store, lounge, laundry, and bath- rooms. Followfn~ the text in this section are layouts of the 62' building. The KOA system stresses the importance of providing ~ecreational facilities. Most KOA campgrounds include facilities such as swimmin~ pool, shuffle board, bicycles, and a game room. Thes~ are important items to keep the travelers happy. ~e grounds of the campground must be clean and as close to the natural state as possible. The development plan which is the layout of the campground is developed by KOA using surveys, photo?raphs, and topographical maps. Samples of other campFrounds are following the text in thfs section. These plans conform to stste requirements and preserve the Natural beauty of the area. KOA provides each franchisee with a wealth of knowledge throu~% numerous volumes of euidelines. T~fs information is the best in the industry as it is kept up to date and is based on experience ~atned in over 600 campgrounds. KOA also provides courses in campground development and management called KOA*University. I attended this in March, 1973 in Billings, Montana. To insure the cualttv and standards established, K0A has inspectors thaf p~ri0dically inspect the campgrounds and 3.0 The K0A Sy~tem--Cont'd per franchise agreement has the right to revoke any particular franchise for not being clean and/or meetin~ other standards. To lose the KOA franchise, among other things, means losing your listing in the KOA Directory. Over 1.5 m~llion copies were distributed in the summer of 1972, free of charge. This is the largest circulation of any camping directory. A large percentage of the people campin~ at K0A campgrounds are re- ferred through this directory. I have camped at K0A sites that have been developed in the woods and on sandy beaches. Ail were clean, had recreational facilities, and were fun places to camp with my family. KOA has provided me with an information package which is attached as an appendix. Building Type Kampgrounds R.

Trees, shrubs, and plantings will be added to provide added beauty. Grass will be planted and maintained. As previously noted this industry is not a pollution industry. There is no traffic, noise, air, water, or any other pollution that will occur The only effects on the community are positive: A. Increased tax base for community. B. Creates employment. Creates tourist dollars. (Note article in section 2.0 on Burkburnett, Texas. These figures are pro- bably low for our area as we have a higher salary scale than Texas.) De There is a desparate and increasing need for facilities on Lon~ Island. There is no facilit~ available thatadvertisea~,or.~accommodate~ to~ists coming to Long Island. 1. W~aere does the camping tourist who wants to visit Long Island go to camp? He has two choices: either spend three to four hours ~oing back to New Jersey or upstate New York; or spend the night (illegally) in a shop- ping center parking lot. 2. '~nere does the Nassau County resident camp? The stnte facilities are fully reserved by March 15th of each year. The SuffolM County ~arks are open only to Suffolk County residents· The two privately operated facilities ( Green- port and Cutcho~ue) are small, mostly unheard of, and have very little to offer in the way of personal and recreational facilities. Where do~s the Suffolk County resident Camp:? There are several county parks. None have adequate facilities ( no electrical/water 2.0 Benefits to the Community-- Cont'd hookups, inadaquate bathrooms, no pools or other recreational items.) ~ere is a definite need for additional first class camping facilities on Lon~ Island. There are many benefits to be derived by surrounding towns and residents. There are no bad effects. The school tax will not increase as new residents. Campers are for the most part transients. There is no increase in population as in the case of condominiums, motels, etc. There is no water, air, or noise pollution as in the case of other industry. There is negligable added traffic; these people are already on the roads. The cr~me rate will not increase as we are servicing a nice class of people interested in a family centered activity. Please ~ive this preliminary plan your consideration. I feel it has many positive points and few if any negative ones. With your support and ~uidance, we can make this plan into a tremendous success. With your support and approval I plan to personally ~ana~e this business. My resume and qualifications are in the following section. 5,0 ~estnme R~chard C.

They have, instead, owned a travel trailer since September, 1958, and have continuously parked it, unoccupied, on their resi- dence premises except when they had it out on trips or for repairs. On their promises, nobody has ever lived or stayed overnight in their travel trailer, and they do not request or propose that it be occupied by anyone while on their residence premises. They use the travel trailer for travel and recreation only. The 1962 prohibition against parking the unoccupied travel trailer on appellants' residence premises, when not using it on trips, is as invalid as would be prohibition against parking the family car or boat there." The court further stated: "In short we see no relationship at all with general wel- fare, and no possible shadow upon the safety and health of the community. We see no specific violation of any terms of the ordinance, and the extreme interpretation here sought bears not even a remote relationship with public welfare or indeed any immediate or possible interference or harm to any other residents. The vehicle is a recognized classification, not for stationary occupancy, but for the usual purpose for which the vehicle is designed and sold for travel, and its total exclu- sion from all residence premises, and indeed from almost all other premises is not justified by the facts or the law." In Commonwealth ~. Ford/~ the court held unconstitutional m ordinance which prohibited the storage of a travel trailer on !~e premises of the owner for 48 hours or longer on the ground hat it bore no rational relation to public safety, health, morals, or ,~oneral welfare. On the other hand, Tow~sMp of Livivgston v. Marchev .-o held hat parking an unoccupied travel trailer alongside a residence in a esidential district was a violation of the ordinance, and as the unit .'as used only on trips away from the residence could not be ~'eated even as an accessory use. Village of Glenview v. Van Dyke ~' sustained an ordinance ,hich prohibited the outdoor parking of an unoccupied camping "38 Pa. D. & C. 2d 580 (1965). "85 N.J. Super. 428, 205 A.2d 65 i964). " Ill.

Travel trailers are separately regulated and classified for tax purposes in Massachusetts ~ and in North DakotaY" However, "travel trailer clubs" operating as fraternal orga- nizations with memberships, by-laws, dues, and officers, sub-lease of space, and connections to utilities, are within the provisions of the California Trailer Park Act, subject to the Health and Safety Code and under the jurisdiction of the Division of Housing of the Department of Industrial Relations3~ ~ 1.6 / MODULAR HOUSING In an attempt to achieve larger dimensions and greater variety of appearance, while retaining the low-cost advantage of mobile homes, modular housing was developed by manufacturers of mobile homes. It is, however, more closely akin to the concept of pre- fabricated houses than to the mobile home. The Attorney General of Ohio has formally ruled that a modular structure is not a mobile home as defined in the Ohio statute, stating: "The structure in question is moved to a site' in two sec- tions, each section being fifty (50) feet by twelve (12) feet. Each section is one-half of the home and each section is mounted upon its own wheels, axles, and chassis. The wheels, axles, and chassis may or may not be removed, ns the struc- ture may or may not be placed upon a foundation. At the "A restrictive covenant prohibiting' on the premises any trailer, house trailer or other movable structure "for use as a residence" was held not to apply to a Royal Coachman camper.
