PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 p.m. - Fishers Island Community Center: This site plan is for the proposed
renovation of an existing 15,984 sq. ft. building where 8,048 sq. ft. is commercial
recreation, 797 sq. ft. is storage, 2,765 sq. ft. is meeting hall (non-profit) and 4,374 sq.
ft. is miscellaneous where 56 parking spaces are required with 28 spaces provided
onsite and use of nearby Ferry District parking is proposed on a 1.28-acre parcel
located in the General Business District on the e/s/o Fox Lane approximately 386' n/o
Whistler Avenue, known as 98 Fox Lane on Fishers Island. SCTM #1000-12-1-5.1
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone here who would like to address the Board on
this application? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion to close the hearing.
Ken Edwards: I just have a comment that I'd like to make before we do close the
hearing. I'd like to state that I've lived on Fishers Island all my life. When this was first
discussed, I was opposed to it; I thought that the building could be better utilized for
affordable rental units, which is desperately needed, not only here on the North Fork of
Long Island but also on Fishers Island. But I have to take my hat off to the committee;
they got this project tax-exempt, went out and raised over $3 million and the project is
going ahead. It's going to be something I think we'll appreciate. With that, I'd like to
make a motion to close the hearing.
Georae Solomon: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.

Bob Gazza: I live on Cedar Beach Creek. My major concern is the development that's going
on around that marsh that empties into Cedar Beach Creek. I'd like to really see the Board
take into consideration not just this particular application but any others because being at that
marsh, it's a fairly good size marsh, and it does drain directly into the creek, and the creek is
still very clean; we have oysters and scallops and clams and it's probably one of the cleanest
creeks on the East End right now, so I'd just like to see you consider that, please. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board?
Allison Schroeder Mahaffy: I've lived on North Bayview Road for 41 years. The creek that he
is referring to is right behind the General Wayne. The giant saltwater marshland you can't
even walk on because the water is pretty deep, does have those big drainpipes that go onto
the road and into the creek. But the property is spectacular; I don't know how many of you
actually walked on it or just drove by it. There are tall pines. I've been walking through there
most of my life with my mother and my sisters. There were trails, but there was also just
enough open space that you could walk through. It's a giant pond in the middle of the
property. I see red tail hawks and a lot of other animals. But the pines are spectacular, and
they shouldn't be torn down. To go back in time, I live on the corner of North Bayviewand
Brigantine. Right next door to me on the other side there was just a development made called
Deer Run. Two mega-monster houses and they're still empty. They tore down a whole cedar
forest to build these houses; they mulched them up into tiny little pieces and carted them off
and sold the mulch of the trees. Then, the people who developed that property mined as
much topsoil as they could out of it; my kids can verify there was a mountain of topsoil that we
all climbed on and played on, it was as big as this room but taller. They carted that out on
Sundays, is that allowed, to sell your topsoil on Sundays? Maybe you get more money for it
on Sundays. To do it on Sundays; they put it in big trucks and drove it off; that's not really
legal, I don't know. Comment later. And so these two giant houses were supposed to keep
some green, and they didn't; it's all cleared. Now I see they are replanting some pine trees in
between the two houses that are up; there are supposed to be five houses there altogether in
Deer Run. The houses are empty. We're building houses for who? They're empty. So the
Tall Pines, getting back to that, it's so beautiful, and the way the Pines are situated, and it's so
huge, and these other vernal ponds. And then the salt marsh right behind it; you walk through
this trail, and there really is such narrow space to put houses on. Maybe they're considering
filling in the pond? I'm confused; I don't think there's actually enough land to build six houses;
I don't think there's enough land to build three houses or five houses. There's just not enough
land; it's all wetlands. It's all ponds; if you walk through it with me, I will gladly take you
through it, and the salt marsh right on the other side of it. I do know that people recently
bought one of these teeny little houses right in there and they fixed it up and then they started
calling the Town right away complaining about the mosquitoes every day. Well, you buy a
house that's next to a pond and you're going to get a lot of mosquitoes. So, I understand that
in some developments you can put in a covenant that says "don't pollute the property, don't
Town Planning Board
Page Nine
April 9, 2007
fertilize the property, don't kill all the wildlife in the ponds." The frogs and the toads and the
salamanders and the birds all really need this land, and nobody's here to defend them.
Nobody's here to speak in their behalf, except for me. And I see them, I see these animals, I
know they exist and I know they're not going to exist any longer if you allow this many houses
to be built and to go empty, you know? I really feel sad about it. I walk through the property
all the time and I think it's a shame to allow that many houses; I could see building a house for
your family and one for your, you know, your daughter. That's not too much to ask. But to
say that there's 15 acres being preserved is a lie, because it's all ponds, it's water being
preserved. If they're going to build six houses on it, I don't see how they're going to have any
front lawns at all; these houses are gonna have to be pushed right up against the roads in
order to be enough room to save those ponds without actually filling them in. And I know
ponds get filled in in this Town, I've lived here my whole life, I've seen it happen. And I've
seen people make promises about how we're gonna save open space and it doesn't get
saved. And I've seen topsoil get carted off every Sunday morning, you know? It should have
been left there, you know? Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: You're welcome. I think some of your concerns will be addressed
by Mr. Goggins and others. I would urge you to look carefully at that map outside. If you see
anybody filling in the ponds, pick up the phone and call the Town. I don't believe that that's
the intention of the people who are involved in this particular project; but if you see that,
please alert the Town. Thank you for coming here. Is there anyone else who would like to
address the Board on this application?
John Bakanic: I reside at 9502 North Bayview Road. I do understand what she was saying,
but you gotta understand that we are new to this area. We've been here about eight years, so
we actually had the opportunity to build on something similar to this and I have become
friends with the people who are actually looking forward to building this subdivision. If it
wasn't for people like this, who actually heard us come up and talk, I've gone through this
once before, and given us the opportunity to actually build, we wouldn't be out here. It is
beautiful; I love Southold; I came from up island. To give somebody a chance to actually
have a place, come out here and live, and to meet the people out in Southold. Before I came
out here, to be honest with you, which is probably about ten years since our project started, I
didn't even know Southold existed. The people that are looking forward to doing this are very
conciencious people; they wouldn't be doing anything like filling in ponds, carting topsoil away
or anything like that. I do know them personally, they're very good people. I know they are
looking to make the community what it has been. They do live in the area and I'm sure they
don't want to see it go downhill. So, I am definitely for it; I'd like to see it happen. Again, I'd
just like you to know that they are good people and they're not looking to take any shortcuts
and hide anything or do things that the Town wouldn't allow. So, I just wanted to say that.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there someone else who would like to address the
Board?

Diane Gazza: I live on Cedar Beach Road also. While riding my bike I saw the sign notice of
Public Hearing. I'm kind of dismayed. A lot of us are kind of sick of developments. We've
been out here 28 years. It is a beautiful piece of property, and the name of it is ironic because
a lot of those tall pines will be taken down. I know for a fact there are fox in there. There are
going to be a lot of misplaced deer. There are birds; it's really a pristine place. The marsh
does indeed drain into Cedar Beach Creek. My objection is just I don't want to see it
developed. Another concern I did have was that the culverts that go under Cedar Beach
Road, actually connecting the creek with the marshland, are kind of delicate. I mean, how
much can you drive over with heavy cement trucks, heavy lumber trucks and have that culvert
survive over time. It's been driven over, but it's another consideration I want you to think about
because it's not only going to affect our way of life, having cement trucks go past our house
every day, but if those culverts collapse, then the drainage and the connection will be affected
between the marsh and the Cedar Beach Creek. So, please take that into consideration.
Again, the misplaced animals and more development are just kind of dismaying to us all in that
area. Thank you for listening.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Brian Huohes: Good evening. I live just off of North Bayview and I am very familiar with that
area also. I do applaud the Board and the Town's efforts in trying to maintain some of the
open space. In this particular matter, over 75% of this area will be maintained in an open and
pristine condition for as long as we are alive and a whole lot longer. I appreciate the concerns
of some of my neighbors. Unfortunately, this will be built up. Places will be built in Southold,
and this is one of them. I think the owners have taken a good step to try to maintain part of
this land in an open and pristine condition the way it is.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you.
Caren Heacock: I live at 1425 Paradise Point Road. My husband and I would probably be
the most affected as our property is adjacent to the development. I did call Mr. Goggins this
afternoon just to ask some technical questions: some he could answer, some he couldn't, so I
thought I'd throw it out to you. I don't know if you can answer them. He wasn't sure of the
19.8 acres: how many of that is wetlands?
Chairperson Woodhouse: We are looking at the map.
Mark Terry: I'd say about 3.4 acres, roughly.
Caren Heacock: Thank you. I also asked if there are any restrictions as to the size of the
houses that can be built on each lot. Do you know that?
Town Planning Board
Page Eleven
April 9, 2007
Mark Terrv: Well, they are restricted by a building envelope, and the building envelope is
significantly less than the lot size; the lot size is close to one acre. The building envelope has
to meet the setbacks. The setbacks from the property boundaries range from 60' in the rear
yard to 50' in the front yard and 20' from the side yard. In addition to that, the Planning Board
is placing clearing limits on each lot. They are only allowed to clear I think about 50% of the
property at this point. And I must say this is one of the more difficult subdivisions that we
have evaluated and designed because of the sensitive nature of the property. We try to take
that into context as we went through the process. We've been working on the subdivision for
years with the applicant, trying to mitigate most of the environmental adverse impacts such as
clearing. We try to locate, in regard to the pines, the lots where the monocultures of pines or
pine stands were not located. So, if you look at the aerial overlay of the map, in relation to the
lots, you will see that they are located in the herbaceous woody areas: hardwoods, not the
pines.
Caren Heacock: That was my second question, and that's a little better news than what Mr.
Goggins said, because I asked: would each homeowner/property owner be able to cut down
all the trees and put in a lawn if they wanted to and he told me yes. So that's not true. That's
nice. Thank you. But could you put in layman's terms for me what would be the average size
house? In other words, I'm trying to figure am I going to have a McMansion next to me, or
would it be more like a...
Bruno Semon: It's dictated based on Town Zoning; Town Zoning dictates a lot coverage
percentage. So, it's just like every other lot in Southold. Without talking out of the box, if this
is R-80, then maybe a10% lot coverage is allowed. Of course, that's dictated under zoning
and at this point that's what's allowed in R-80 and A-C Zones.
Caren Heacock: Thank you. And my last questions is: do you know whether they would
allow three driveways going up or there will be one access road that three houses; would the
three houses just come in on the one road, or would there be three drives going up?
Mark T errv: There's one right of way that accesses three lots off of Paradise Point Road.
Then there's another flag driveway accessing the two lots off of North Bayview Road. Has
everyone seen the map?
Joe Townsend: On that issue of the housing side; isn't the Planning & Zoning Committee
considering some limitations on housing size relative to size of lots now; I don't know whether
it will affect this application. The lots are one acre, so there will be a fairly large building
envelope. But there is: the Town Board and Planning and Zoning Committee are addressing
that issue. Now, we deal with the building codes that exist now. But it is a sensitive issue and
I know that our Planning Dept. has had some input; we've had some input in this new
legislation which has not been enacted.

Caren Heacock: Thank you. Just one last question: is the property going to be sold just as
acreage, or is it going to be developed by the Tall Pines Corporartion?
Chairperson Woodhouse: I don't know if that's been determined at this point.
Caren Heacock: OK. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Someone else might want to comment on that, but that is nothing
that we have looked at. Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board or respond
to some of the points that have been raised?
Allison Schroeder Mahaffv: Do you know the purchase price of the property?
Chairperson Woodhouse: We would not know that.
Allison Schroeder Mahaffv: I think I heard somebody say something about it was a very low
price because of wetlands and that, I mean the property would have been built on, you know,
hundreds of years ago if it was valuable property.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I think that's not an issue for this Board. Yes, ma'am?
Virqinia Principi: Good evening. I live at 10947 North Bayview Road. I just wanted to say
that I am friends with the Orlandos and the Millers, and I know they are going to do the right
thing on this property. I am also a neighbor, and I just wanted to say that when I drive out of
my driveway in the morning and I look at the tall pines, I will have no problem seeing a few
houses in there. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address the
Board? Mr. Goggins?
William Goqqins: Yes, briefly. Let me just respond to a few of the concerns. What the public
probably doesn't know and the Board does is that there has been a substantial environmental
review of this property; there's been an archaeological review of the property, there has been
an environmental assessment, the DEC has reviewed the property, the Trustees have done a
letter of non-jurisdiction and the Planning Board, especially Mark Terry and Anthony Trezza,
have spent a lot of time making sure that the environmental conditions of this property weren't
affected. They have done a great job. As stated earlier, this has been going on for a couple
of years, and there's been a lot of focus on this property to make sure that the environmental
concerns were met. We wouldn't have gotten to this point if they weren't. As to what Allison
Schroeder-Mahaffy had stated, the DEC has determined that this is a fresh water wetland, so
it doesn't affect the salt water marshes that she was talking about.
Allison Schroeder Mahaffv: But I don't want the freshwater built on either.

William GOQQins: All right. Well, I'm just stressing what your concern was. As to the size of
the houses, there is no law in Southold Town that restricts the size of a house. Maybe if you
want to address the Town Board they can maybe change the law. But as far as the Planning
Board is concerned, that's not really their concern. It would be up to the Town Board. But I
think the main thing I'd just want everybody to know is that there was a very strong
environmental focus on this property, and now that's already been addressed by the Board.
Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Yes, sir? Please come back to the microphone.
Bob Gazza: I live on Cedar Beach Road. I was a little surprised that the DEC determined
that to be a fresh water wetland, because it's tidal. The salt water from Cedar Beach Creek
goes through the culvert into the marsh, into the whole marsh, the tide comes up, the tide
goes down, it runs back out again. So, marshland directly affects the creek and anything that
goes into that marshland is going to go into the creek. But I don't know if this is going to affect
the application or not, but it's definitely not a freshwater wetland.
Mark Terrv: The freshwater wetland Mr. Goggins is referring to is located on site; it's a vernal
pool. The salt marsh that you are referring to is just south of the property and on the fringe
and that leads into Cedar Creek. There is a significant freshwater wetland on the property.
Bob Gazza: OK.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board or make
a comment on this application? We are going to entertain a resolution to hold the public
hearing open for a period of ten days to allow for any submission of written comments. So I
will ask for a motion to hold the hearing open for ten days.
Joe Townsend: So moved.
Ken Edwards: Second.
Chairperson Woodhouse: All in favor?
Ayes.

in connection with the Subdivision of Robert Rowehl. The proposed amendments will
allow SCTM# 1000-94-4-1 to have direct access from Sound View Avenue and provide
for access to SCTM#1 000-94-4-2 over SCTM#1 000-1 00-2-6.1.; and
WHEREAS, this proposal is in connection with the proposed Development Rights Sale

24 acres are proposed to be sold to the Town of Southold, and Parcel B is 5 acres upon
which all of the Development Rights are proposed to be sold to the Town of Southold;
and
WHEREAS, because Parcels A and B will no longer have residential development
potential, the proposed modifications to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions
are designed to provide access that is appropriate for preserved land, while ensuring
that access to SCTM#1000-94-4-1 from Sound View Avenue is permitted; and
WHEREAS, the Southold Town Planning Board discussed these proposed
modifications at their work session on January 16, 2007 and agreed that said changes
to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions requires a public hearing and approval
by majority plus one of the members of the Board; be it therefore
