MARCO PROPERTIES SCTM #: 1000-97-9-10.4 Zoned: A-C Location: 3123 Skunk Lane, Cutchogue CPF: Yes Total Acreage: 10 acres (GIS 10 acres) Subdividable: Yes SCTM #: 1000-97-9-12 Zoned: A-C Location: 3595 Skunk Lane, Cutchogue CPF: Yes Total Acreage: 34.68 acres (GIS 34.23 acres) Subdividable: Yes SCTM #: 1000-98-1-2.1 Zoned: A-C Location: 1985 Leslie Road, Cutchogue CPF: Yes Total Acreage: 10.72 acres (GIS 10.8 acres) Subdividable: Yes SCTM #: 1000-98-1-27.1 Zoned: A-C Location: 4170 Indian Neck Lane, Cutchogue CPF: Yes Total Acreage: 78.34 acres (GIS 77.11 acres) Subdividable: Yes Reviewed survey. Melissa Spiro met with Charles Cuddy (landowners’ attorney), Howie Young (surveyor) and Anthony Trezza (Planning Dept) re: new plan for subdivision. LPC members reviewed new subdivision plan. Feel that the road chops too much of the farmland and would like to see it moved easterly. Recommend that building envelope of Lot #1 be moved north or northeasterly; move house area by barn or building area to wooded fringe area. Lots #5 & #6, no interest in purchasing open space areas as designed. Re-review plan when more formalized. Lot #5 could be reduced if Lot #4 is moved. Cul- de-sac move southwesterly and questions cul-de-sac necessity. Lot #7 of 5 acres, rotate slightly east. Lot #8, appears to be fine. Peconic Land Trust feels that subdivision of preserved land will require change to County easement and approvals. ??
