The Board strongly supports this type of fac'flity in the community. However, the Board feels that this site is not suitable because of the many variances necessary for its use. The requirement of the parking 100' from the street was put in the Code to insure quiet access and buffering of such activity from surrounding properties. The area requirement of 8,000 square feet per bed was for the same purpose. This site does not meet these criteria; a larger lot with greater setback for the house would be more sutable for this fac'flity.

To that end, applications for a Special Use Exception and a Variance have been filed with the Zoning Board of Appeals. It is expected that these applications will be on the agenda for the ZBA's September 14, 2000 meeting. I have already spoken with Mr. Robert Kassner of the Planning Board staff concerning this project. He suggested that I write you this letter. The EL1BCRC is a Non-profit 501(c)(3) Corporation. It proposes to use 895 Highland Road as a short-term (three to four days per visit) Health Care Facility. Maximum capacity at the facility will be six (6) recuperating guests. The guests will be women who have recently undergone breast and other cancer surgeries and need time to recuperate physically and psychologically. The building now located at 895 Highland Road contains all of the bedrooms and facilities necessary to accommodate the guests and staffwithout any exterior or structural alterations. The EL1BCRC is mindful of the need to provide adequate off-street parking and sufficient buffeting. A proposed landscape plan is in the process of being drawn up. If the Planning Board has any suggestions or requirements beyond those of the ZBA, I would very much appreciate the Board's input as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. ,zomo ii;36 516-7§1-1§84 BRLJOE MILES PAGE 83 o¢ ROBERT S. HUGHES Atlorncy at ].aw L?I6 Frot~t Street 1).

Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. el, '( August 9, 2000 Gerard P. Goehringer, Chairman Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Southold P.O. Box 1179 53095 Main Road Southold, New York 11971 Dear Mr. Chairman: The Eastern Long Island Breast Cancer Resource Center is in the process of seeking approval fi.om the Zoning Board of Appeals and other appropriate Southold Town agencies for the establishment of a Retreat House at 895 Highland Road in Cutchogue. We acknowledge that cancer is a devastating disease that can strike virtually anyone and that treatment, whether it is in a hospital, retreat or at home, is an important part of the recovery process. The site that The Resource Center has selected does not conform to the requirements outlined in Chapter 100, Article IH, Section 100-3 IB- "Use Regulations"- of the Zoning Code adopted by Southold Town. The site is a one-acre, single family residence in the established residential area located north of Main Road between Crown Land Lane and Highland Road. It has become a densely populated area with a high concentration of young children. As residents of this area, these are our concerns: · The one-acre, single family site is too small to accommodate the eight (8) patient minimum plus staffproposed by the Center (see attachment). According to the Zoning Code the lot size should be large enough to accommodate 8,000 square feet per patient bed. · The l~ontage and the south side yard do not confrere to the 100 and 50 feet regulations, respectively. · There is inadequate lot space for off-street parking for staff, patients and visitors. If the Center plans to expand the current 3-car garage driveway, the result would destroy the residential character of Highland Road. · The present building is not fire-resistive or fire proof. · The resulting additional traffic will pose a hazard to residents, especially to the children who ride their bikes and play in the street. · Further, the 24 hour operation of such a health care facility, replete with ambulances and other emergency vehicles, vans and the aforementioned cars will alter the character ora quiet neighborhood. · Additionally, Cntchogue currently hosts a group home in the vicinity of Alvah's Lane and Main Road as well as the Peconic Retreat located across from the firehouse on New Suffolk Road, both of which are in close proximity to the Crown Land Lane and Highland Road neighborhood. · Residents of both Highland Road and Crown Land Lane voiced and stated their opposition in the attached petition. For these reasons, we are urging you to deny the Center's appeal. Very truly yours, Thomas J. Mc Adam Barbara J. Mc Adam Attachments: Board Members James Dinizio Jr Lydia A.
