Mr Orlowski: Moving on to the next i~ea:ring. This hearing is l~eld over from
the last meeting. Jimbo Realty Corp. - This proposed site plan is for a 34,200
square foot self service dry storage building; a 1,750 square foot residence,
and a 1,575 square foot office bUilding on a 2.9 acre site on Rt. 48 (a.k.a.
North Rd., Middle Rd.) in Southold. SCTM# 1000-59-4-8 & 9. I'll ask if there
are any comments on this site plan?
Bernard Heinisch: My name is Bernarc Heinisch IINe on County Road 48 in
Southold. I'd like to give a little history to this particular parcel which was
purchased by the Pudge Corp. in 1980 as one parcel In 1982 the Pudge
Corp. filed for a minor subdivision which broke the one lot into four. It was
granted. In 1984, two lots on the west end were sold to Tim Gray and Jimbo
Realty - Jim Gray. There was approximately 400 linear feet on the south side
Soul:hold Town Planning Board
5 May 18, 1998
of 48 with the intersection of Hortons Lane, approximately 300 feet deep on
Hortons Lane, running all the way to the end of the properW on the west
going 300 foot to a place of beginning.
The code says that there should be no traffic problems with building. I don't
see how you cannot have traffic problems entering onto 48 from structures
that are built on 2~/2 acres approximately 30% of the property is being
developed. There's no reason why a road cannot ~)e built from the east end
along the adjourning property which the Pudge Corp. owns and they also
have an interest on this particular property. The code also says that no
building should be over 60 feet wide. These buildings are 70 feet wide.
'd like to bring to your attention a letter that you had received on December
2, 1997 from the Architectural Review Board The Board expressed their
concern on constructing this type of facility to such a highly visible location
on a major thoroughfare in a community surrounded by farmland. Should
this be done? We conceal the buildings to their environment. With regards
to landscaping we are in favor of anything that can be done to shield a
project from view in al directions, with more landscaping buffer to be
provided along the north edge of the property. Let's look and see what is
being done for landscaping.
You have to remember this building is two stories high We're going to
provide Japanese Spruces, 3 feet high. (inaudible) Spruces, 4 feet high.
Dogwoods, 6 to 8 feet high. Eleven shrubs, 4-5 feet. Two hundred Douglas
Firs, 6-8 feet. You have to remember, this property is approximately 4 feet
higher than the road. (Inaudible) Pear trees, 4-5 feet high. Thirty Junipers, 3
foot spread. And 3,460 square foot of sod. Gentlemen, you can't do any
better than this for screening a project? You call this screening? This is like
putting acorns out and waiting for them to grow.
Look at the present facility, which I believe is still owned by the Pudge Corp.
on Hortons Lane. If you face the properW on the left, you will see it's a
rented piece of property. Look at the property on the right hand side. Last
year the grass grew this high. This year it was this higiq until the Town cut
most of the front. Part of the facade has blown away. The Town has no
code at the present time to maintain anything after it's done. None. And
don't see you people doing anything for screening a building in a farming
community. It's a shame. Thankyou.
Mr. Orlowski: Any other comments?
Ziggy Helinski: Ziggy Helinski, Southold, Tuckers Lane. It's my understanding
Southold Town Planning Board 6 May 18, 1998
that property owners adjacent to the property asking for a variance are
supposed to be notified about such a variance?
Mr. Orlowski: Yes.
Mr. Helinski: We were notified, but the people that bought (inaudible) house
and the property adjacent to them were never notified about anything. I
got this from a letter we got from the Town Attorney.
Mr. Orlowski: That's the property that has the house to the west?
Mr. Helinski: Right.
Mr. Orlowski: OK. Any other comments?
Chris Baiz: My name is Chris Baiz. I'm a resident here in Southold. have
property both in the west end of the village and the east end. A couple of
things I noticed here. First of all I think we're talking about a two story
building with an aerial extent of more or less 34-35,000 square feet, so in
essence we're double-decked to about 70,000 square feet. And I just want
everybody to realize that we're making the owners very wealthy in terms of
future revenue stream here, at an average of about 80 cents a square foot
month, comes out to about just under Sl 0 a year of revenue per square
foot times 70,000 square feet. My God, gentlemen, you have solved the
problem for farmland preservation. Let's give every farmer three acres of his
farmland to put up another mini-storage facility so we can all save the
farmland.
I have a couple of problems with the structure as outlined. I drive up and
down North Rd., alias Rt. 48, alias Middle Rd, and have noticed that of all the
commercial buildings that are presently there between Boisseau Ave. and I
don't care how far west you want to go until we get down to Cutchogue,
there is no commercial building two stories, or two and a half stories high,
however tall this building is to be. If they say two stories, I don't know
whether that includes the peaked roof or that makes it to two stories, or
whether it's really two and a half stories. But it will make it the largest
commercial building on County Route 48 I~etween i~ere and Cutchogue, and
probably further west.
I'm not sure that this is what we want to see for the future of Southold,
es pecially if we're trying to do just the opposite of creating a facility that
ncreases traffic, increases transient migration, etc. in and out when we want
to instead try to promote tourism and promote our open spaces and our
Sour;hold Town Planning Board
7 May '18, 1998
farmland preservation programs.
One of the suggestions I have with regard to the building, what we've seen
in other countries, and I take particular exception in Switzerland whenever
one wishes to put up a new building in Switzerland, even a private residence,
one must erect a 2x4 wooden skeleton of that building and it must stay up
for six months while the community has the opportunity to drive by every
day and see if that's what they want to live with for the next 100, 200 years
or what have you. And I think this would be a very good opportunity to start
the ball rolling on doing a little more visual sensitivity along Rt. 48 here.
Now, if we're going to propose a two story building there and we've got not
other two story commercial building along 48 in existence that sort of makes
the argument, well let's make it one story. OK, so if we made it one story tall
and it still creates a problem in terms of the open spaces and once you've
got that building in place, well then the other land around it, well we've got
to put something pretty around that so we'll build some shopping malls to
make it not look so obtrusive and unattractive and so we have creeping
expropriation of the open land by this spot zoning of getting buildings in
there which, out in the middle of nowhere, which will simply feed upon itself
over the years and the excessive landowners are going to say, well let me
put something up now because I have to live with this next door. I don't
want to have my home here anymore.
So, if we get it down to one story then I could make the argument, well let's
just let Jimbo Realty double deck their present facility here at Southold
Storage right behind the Post Office, and leave those parcels on 48
untouched and sort of ask Jimbo Realty if they wouldn't make a
conservation easement to the Town on that land for ~Deing allowed to double
deck over here ~Dy the railroad tracks in Southold Storage.
Town Hall is one story high, right? The United States Post Office of Southold,
NY is one story high. And every other building that is a commercial building
along the north road is one story high. I don't think this is the time to turn
around and make an exception to that rule.
With the issue of notification process. Something has to be done here. This
goes back to my first experience with the Planning Board ~)ack in the 1980's
with Southold Villas. never received a notification and I have a 700 foot
common boundary with Southold Villas. I never got a notification, only got
telephone calls from other concerned citizens. I went to the people who
were responsible for sending out the notifications and they apologized. They
said, oops, one got away from us.
Southold Town Planning Board
8 Ma,/18, 1998
Well, not one got away because I went around and checked with a number
of the other current landowners and found that notices for these variances
and what have you had been sent to previous owners of those lots, several
of whom were deceased so obviously they hit the circular file or whatever,
and I [hink the notification process needs to not only be more effective in
covering who the current landowners are adjacent to these sites, it must
also be done on the first day that someone comes in and wants to file for a
variance. Just like putting up the 2x4 structure in Switzerland' and letting it
stand for six months to see if anybody disapproves of it first.
So, in sum, we've [lot a proposed building plan that's going to make an
owner who's already rich a hell of a lot richer. If we did this for every farmer
out here we could solve the farmland preservation problem because they
could all make S700,000 a year off of such a facility, [ongue in creek of
course, and if we could streamline the process of notification and if we could
simply change the venue of this building monstrosity and simply allow
Southold Storage to be double-decked as opposed to trying to build a
double-decker out there on the North Rd. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Any other comments?
Donna Dzugas-Smith: First of all I want to recognize that I know you're in a
difficult position and this has gone too far. And a lot of it lays with ZBA, it
doesn't really lay with you. I'm aware and a lot of the people are. But
there's a few little things that just need to be rehashed.
Number one, notice of public hearing. The Planning Board, per say, you
follow it to the letter. The Town code tells you how to follow it. It was
revised in 1996. You still follow it. You follow every revision. ZBA doesn't.
How come you found the right neighbors, ZBA didn't. That can't be
overlooked. This was brought to the attention of the Town Council. It was
brought to the attention of Jean Cochran directly at a private meeting and
the only response that we got was an ncomplete letter from the Town
Attorney. it is not Deing thoroughly investigated.
For the site plan to go forward at this point would be improper to all the
citizens of Southold ~)ecause this was brought to the Town Board attention
the night after you brought it to our attention. This is approximately 3 or 4
weeks ago? Mrs. Cochran has not really addressed the whole issue, neither
has Mr. Moore who has been contacted. And we will give you copies of the
letter that we got from ~he attorney. The issues we have b'rought to their
attention concerning ZBA and the things that were not followed and the
codes that were broken, which is breaking Town Law, has not been
SoL, hold Town Planning Board
9 May 18, 1998
addressed by the Town.
So, if you go along with a final site plan at this point it could become another
thing like the ferry where, are we going to get a group of citizens together
and fight this and become a legal battle, or are we go~ng to still put this a
ittle bit on hold?
Now, to move on to the next thing. Something that don't think everyone
was aware of, which after looking at all the records at ZBA and the Planning
office is that you've tried to voice your opinion. A number of times you've
said ~o 1:he ZBA, when they actually requested your input, that you do not
stand, you strongly recommend against the issuance of a variance, for a
number of reasons Some of the very same ones that have been brought up
tonight and a couple of weeks ago. The ZBA didn't listen to you. So, yes it
falls back into your lap, where we stand now. All the variances and the
special exception, the Architectural Review Committee, it is documented in
numerous letters by your committee to the ZBA that you were not standing
behind the variances or the special exceptions. You felt the same way we do
at this point. We understand where that's coming from We understand the
problems with ZBA. Once again, we brought that to the Town Council. They
have not addressed that yet.
One of the things interesting in the file was the Negative Declaration on the
environmental quality rewew. Something that was noted, it says "the
environmental assessment form nas been submitted and reviewed and it
was determined that no significan~ adverse effects to the enwronment are
likely to occur should the project be implemented as planned". I have a
problem with that.
if you look at the history of all these different entities of Jim Gray, Tim Gray,
Pudge Corp., Jimbo, whoever they want to call themselves, things that
they've gone into, they get to a certain point and whether they declare
bankruptcy or whatever, they step out. Someone else is now with that
proJect. Then we as a town [qave to work with a new group. He doesn't
even stay with his projects. That's something to note. That's something to
think about when you're making a final site plan approval.
If you look at Southold Storage buildings there now - it's like an asphalt
jungle sort of like the ad said - it's fences, buildings, asphalt jungle. Two
buildings in front of it, one's vacant, one's pretty ugly looking, not kept up,
vacant. The other thing is, is this storage facility really needed? If it's not
really needed, are we setting ourselves up here? Because if the one that's
there now isn't full or it also has a lot of lockers that are double locked.
Southold Town Planning Board
10 May 18, 1998
meaning that they're delinquent accounts, then we're building another place
for that to become the same or not even to be used.
If that does fail, just perhaps, what can that building be used for? If that
much storage isn't needed in Southold what's the second use for this
building? At least when Feather Hills Commons went under, different stores
can go in and there's other uses that it can be designed for. The industrial
thing over by the dump, that could be used for many different, things
Actually that could also be storage, I suppose, when you thing about it. But,
what can a storage building with no windows or very few, I haven't looked at
details, and just roll up doors and that, really be used for other than what it's
said to be used for?
And to say that it's not going to be any significant adverse effects. The
house next door, which belongs to the Bufkins, three ittle children, and
they're a double working family, tiny house one and a Iqalf stories high I
guess you'd say, is going to be right adjacent to that. It has a right of way
that's going to divide the property that we're talking about here and their
~ouse. They'd love to be here tonight. Can't afford a babysitter, the kids
have to go with one of them to work and tiqe other one doesn't get home
from the city until later, otherwise they would be here. You're going ~o tell
me that that's not going to be an adverse effect to a single residence house
that's right next door? I don't see how this matches up. I don't know who
made that decision. And there was a letter in here from Suffolk County
saying that Southold is accepting lead agency, so does that mean that we're
making the decisions or you're making decisions for us, or the Town or
whoever is making decisions for the citizens saying, OK they're the lead
agency, they're making all these major decisions, because I don't see how
you can say..the traffic that's going to go by, the parking if you Look at the
thing there's going to be parking in front of the fence maybe?
And then the other thing that comes up too when you think about it, 48
narrows down to tWo lanes there, OK? Speed limit is 55 miles per hour. I
had some Planning BOard members on my property just last week because
i'm proposing a winery and one of the workers actually said "where is that
Jim Gray build,lng going up?" They thought it was west, not east. So it's
almost like., did anyone really look? When you do a site plan...I was glad they
were on my property to say, here's the organic farm, here's where he wants
to do his farm stand, nere's what I'd like to do with my winery - one story
notice - and a little further down is going to be this two story monstrosity.
Did anyone stand on 48 and look and say, OK what effect is this going to
have? The other thing if you notice a lot of these records are wrong, it
Southold Town Planning Board
11 May 18, 1998
claims that there's no environmental impact because across the street is
business. Across the street is not business. Directly across the street from
this property is a farm. A little east of that is a business. Then next to them
is their own property as this has already been addressed. You Ok this, what
is he going to do with the other parcel next to him? Oh gee, two stories
went up this time. A couple of years down the road we'll get the ZBA to
make a three story OK for something else.
We have to look at this. And I know it's very, very difficult and I know more
of this lands on the ZBA than it did on you. You did your part, you put it in
writing, you didn't support the variances and neither did the Architectural
Review Committee. Nobody listened. We're addressing the Town Council on
that. We understand that. But we're asking you to hold off the final site
plan approval because this is nog through We're holding the council
accountable for the ZBA. They did nog follow gown code. You follow town
code. They have to follow town code. The bit about that Cochran said that
they're autonomous, you're autonomous just as much as they're
autonomous. They have to be just as accountable as you.
One other thing I have to do because the Bufkins didn't make it here. They
wanted this read. It was sent to Jean Cochran, I think you might have gotten
a copy. It says, Dear Supervisor and Town Board members. The entire
Executive Board and Board of Directors of Kennv's Beach Civic Association
vehemently oppose the self storage facility proposed for 48 between
Hortons Lane and Tuckers Lane. Unobstructed views of farmlands, open
spaces and natural surroundings are what we want as landscaped use of our
town, not multiple, two-story, steel structures with side buildings and care-
takers residence.
Why is the Town purchasing farm development rights with taxpayers money
if we al ow such building development to occur and obstruct these views?
Where such a development should be permitted in Southold Town is a
matter to be addressed by the Town Master Plan and upheld by the Zoning
Board. We urge you to stop approval of this ~3roject and any others like it
before Southold's Rt 48 looks very much hike Rt. 58 in Riverhead. As elected
officials we hold you accountable to protect our interests.
Once again, this was addressed to the Town Board, not to you but it's worth
noting. The other thing too is what Kind of town code enforcement would
be in covenants and restrictions about the buffering of those trees like
Bernie mentioned, about not being high enough and that. What about, say
they die? That does happen, too much rain, too much wind, whatever.
Somewhere isn't it going to 13e whoever owns that parcel in the end of all
Southold Town Planning Board 12 May '18, '1998
this, if this does happen, something to protect us that that fence is going to
be blocked, that the view is going to be blocked the best we can.
Something needs to be stated.
Mr. Odowski: Every approval has a one year review, and that includes all the
vegetation. If there is a tree that died it has to be replaced and that initiates
another one year rewew.
Ms. Ozugas-Smith: OK, sosay that one year from the time that it's com;)leted
all the trees are OK, then it's closed forever?
Mr. Orlowski: Most likely.
Ms. Dzugas-Smith: What do we have to do to change that one?
Mr. Orlowski: If it's done to the plan, exactly to the plan, there's not much
you can do unless he changes the site itself in some way.
Ms. Dzugas-Smith: But i'm saying, say the trees die two years down the road,
five years down tt~e road, we have these metal structures and this metal
chain link fence. That's all you're going to see if all the trees die.
Mr. Orlowski: Our enforcement officer would have to go out on that and
make sure that ever~hing is alive. Unfortunately we do have a lot of that
around the whole town and it is hard to do. But I'm sure that with good
people like you around, he'll know when something is dying.
Ms. Dzugas-Smith: We have lives to ive too. We can't, like Mrs. Cochran
said, "where were you when the codes were made?" It's like excuse me, I
have a life to live. didn't run for office, but it's like you have to speak up
now. There's no turning this back. This is opening a whole new avenue. If
these two-story buildings go up, just think of what's going to .go up on the
rest of those business parcels that were re-zoned mostly by Jim Gray Realty
many years ago whether they're still owned by him some of them and some
owned by other people, whatever, what I'm saying is, yes I know he meets
the zoning thing but who says it has to be two-stories? Who says it has t be
this? There's got to be something that the Planning Board can protect our
wews. It's the whole bit about the Planning, the site plan approval.
But even taking that (inaudible), do not forget that the ZBA has broken the
town law and that has not been addressed..we're still waiting for the Town
Council to get back on that. That has not been addressed. And to only
notify four neighbors out of eight neighbors. You notified eight neighbors.
Southold Town Planning Board 15 May 18, 1998
Only four were notified by ZBA. And the other thing is they were only
notified once. They were notified for a hearing May 1996 for the initial
hearing on the ZBA. That hearing was held over to June. It was held over to
July, because correspondence was happening between the departments
here.
It was held over in August, ~eld over in September, it finally got approval
October 1996. Do you thinkthat they were sent out again? You sent out
new notices to everyone for tonight. You sent it out for last month. ZBA
sent it out once and didn't even send it out to everybody. This final site plan
if it goes through - major, major things are to be done in the Town Hall,
because you can't just say I have nothing to do with them. We have to start
holding each other accountable. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Any other comment? At this time i'm going to ask to entertain
a motion from the Board to hold this hearing open again. I'd like to thank
you al for coming down You made some very good comments and I see
you've all done your t~omework and you all realize the position that we're in.
And just to let you know that Supervisor Cochran and the Town Attorney
have both talked to me this week because of these concerns, but the Town
Board really at this point in time is not the one making the decisions. We
are. I think the fact that there's a discrepancy here as to whether the ZBA
did their notifications property, we'll have to check into t~at. And also we
might revisit the SEQRA process again but we'll have to take a look and
discuss it with the Board. So, I'll hold this hearing open now and I ask for a
motion to hold this hearing open.
Mr. Edwards: So moved.
Mr. Cremers: Second.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the motion? All
those in favor?
Ayes: Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Ward, Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Cremers.
Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? Motion carried.
