I'll ask if there are any comments on this site plan?
Rob Leonard: Good evening. My name is Rob Leonard. I'm here representing
S&L Irrigation. I talked to most of my neighbors and some of them had some
resistance. Others were more than happy to see the building that we
purchased cleaned up and fixed up. I'd like to start out by saying that what
we're here for this evening is, as you folks know, is a waiver of site plan
review just because the building has been there and we don't want to do
anything major to it. We'd asked to put up a fence, and this is how this has
all started.
As I understand the code, for LB zoning and business properties up there on
that corridor, I am entitled to put up a six foot fence, 360 degrees around
the building. In question came the buffer, which is again in question As I
have been reading through the Town code books which were written well
after that building was built, as far as buffers are concerned, and is in my
feelings and interpretations is really geared more to the larger parcels of
property that are available out there now with the two acre zoning.
As I met with your Board last month I agreed to put in the buffer as it stated
Southold Town Planning Board
September 14, 1998
and we agreed to minimalize it I guess to 10 foot rather than the 20 foot
that's written there because of the fact that I only have a half acre of land
up there. I don't have five acres or ten acres or even two acres. There was
in fact at one time some kind of evergreen hedgerow. There were some
black pines that were well dead and removed. Again, to read into the codes
any buffer that was there or plant material dies, I'm responsible to replace it,
which again I have no problem. As I told the Board, I'm in the yard
beautification business and we'd really tike our building to be beautiful. I
don't really want to do anything that's unsightly. We don't really have much
stuff out there that creates dust or excessive heat, which we don't really
produce in my business, beings that we're not even in the office throughout
the work day. Glare, the building is a lot brighter than it was before we
moved in but I think that just enhances the neighborhood.
Accumulation of dust, we don't want to accumulate dust any more than
anybody else does. I'm just looking to put up a fence. To provide privacy,
again, more the reason to put up the fence because I'd like to have my
neighbors have their privacy back.
To prevent erosion, I'm pretty flat there I don't think I have a problem there.
And I am reading right from the code book. Most of these things that are in
the code book and the reason for a buffer zone don't even entail me and
what I'm looking to do up there. I guess that's really about all I've got to
say.
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Leonard, do you have the certified mail receipts and the
affidavit of posting?
Mr. Leonard: Yes 1 do. ( Mail receipts and affidavit of posting submitted to
Board.)
Mr. Orlowski: Are there any other comments on this site plan?
Tom Hamlin: Good evening. My name ~s Tom Hamlin and I own the property
just north of S&L warehouse. My problem is with the buffer zone. S&L
removed a large 20 foot section of buffer zone from the end of Kenny's
Road all the way backto beyond my house. It's all gone now. Now can see
his building and according to this drawing here, he's only going to put trees
up until about 10 feet just past my house. And if I look out my door, I'm still
going to see his loading dock, I'm going to see his garage, 'm going to see
the parking. The whole front of the thing is just going to be nothing but
lawn. I just need a buffer zone or something. He said something about
privacy. I'm not going to Nave privacy over there with just the lawn.
Southold Town Planning Board
September '14, '1998
Another thing about the noise, I was cleaning out my garage the other day,
the garage door was open, it was about 7:00 at night. I'm cleaning out the
garage and I hear a lot of obscenities coming out of that garage door. I
don't know who said it...I don't mind them saying it as long as the door is
closed. Close the door if you're going to use obscenities. I have three
children. That's about it, I just need a buffer zone to the front of the
property, which was there when I first moved in two years ago. Thank you.
Mr. Ortowski: Any other comments?
Ellen Latson: Good evening members of the Planning Board. My name is
Ellen Latson and t am an adjacent property owner to the east. I've owned
my home there for the past 19 years and the use has remained the same. It
was a very Iow key operation with several - one or two employees - you
wouldn't even know that they were there.
Clearly this new use is a change of use and an intensified use. In researching
the recent application that was submitted to the Planning Board by Mr.
Leonard I see that he is asking for a 10 foot buffer zone. The code as I
understand it clearly asks for a 20 foot buffer zone between a business zone
and a residential zone and to my way of thinking, this 20 foot buffer is put
there to protect the adjacent residential use of the property. Without the
20 foot buffer it would increase the value of the business property and
decrease the value of the residential property.
When Mr. Leonard purchased the property he bought it as is, without a
waiver. So clearly he cannot come before this Board and justify a hardsh p
because he is a new owner of the land. He could have made the buffer a
contingent of sale.
Mr. Leonard just stated that Larger parcels with two acres, he feels that this
20 foot setback would be more applicable. I beg to differ. In smaller lots
such as his and ours, the impact is much greater on a residential lot without
the 20 foot buffer. If you have a two acre lot you have a lot more space on
your side yards and your back yards between a residential and commercial
area Most of the areas where there is going to be a business zone against a
residential zone, you're not going to have these size lots, they're all going to
be befc re 2 acres
I have severa other questions as well. There was always very few employees
there, as I stated. And looking at the map, Mr. Leonard says he employees
about 12 people seasonally - I believe that's what he told me, it was just a
conversation that we had out n our yard. And from the parking, it looks like
Southold Town Planning Board
6 September 14, 1998
there's only parking for about 7 or 8 people. So question number one is
where are these people going to park when they come to work? And what
kind of equipment does he propose for the storage area on the side. Is it
going to be equipment that's going to be started at 6:30 in the morning and
run at 9:00 at night? And what kind of security will there be in terms of
lighting? I want my residential home - our bedrooms just border his
property so I don't want any light shining in our bedrooms at night.
Is there any other intended occupancy of the building? This is a large
warehouse. Does he intend any other use to come out of there? All I'd like
to say is that the code was enacted with a lot of forethought on protecting
obviously a residential home from a light business use and I'd just like to see
that the setback is kept in place and that there's no precedence set,
because there's really not a lot of residential homes that border commercial
properties except on the North Road and the Main Road, and so if there is
going to be an increase in use, and this is obviously an intensified use, I'd just
like to see the buffer zone remain intact. That's about it. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Any other comments or questions?
Bernard Heinisch: My name is Bernard Heinisch, I live on 48. My property
adjourns Mr. and Mrs. Latson. When this building was originally built about
1957 it was built on a smaller parcel which was subdivided from the Donahue
farmland. This was sold as a machine shop and since its sale it really hasn't
been kept up to date. I will say that the new owners have improved the
outside of the building, that made attempts to make it look worthwhile,
which they've done. But this buffer zone is really needed in this area. I
would ask that each and every one of you should look at this area because if
you stand on 48 and you look at the Latson's monument, where her
property starts, her property actually starts inside the overhang of the trees
that adjourns her property.
Now if you were to grant a 10 foot buffer zone, you would see that that 10
foot is still under the overhanging branches. If you were to plant evergreens
along there, I doubt very much they would even grow. Especially on a
staggered system, it will take forever to fill out. If you hole the 20 foot, it
will give more of an area in between the residential and the business section.
When you do put the evergreens, they will get more sun and have more of a
chance of living and growing. And would hope rather than a staggered
system, they would go in a straight ine. These evergreens will eventually
grow high enough to give more shielding than what you have now.
There has never been any parking along side of that building since it's been
Southold Town Planning Board
September I4, 1998
built, adjacent to the Latsons. There's never been any parking to the rear
since that building's been built. The parking has always been on Kenny's
Road in front of the building. To my recollection, going back to when that
building was built there was never any more than four cars there at a time.
Occasionally they would have shipments. Shipments coming in and
shipments coming out, to the rear of the property. At the present time I
understand this is going to be used for all this equipment storage. We can't
stop that but we would like to stop this 20 foot buffer. It's not going to do
any of us any good.
If you look at that property and looking at the map, I see where there is only
going to be a hedge line in front of the fence line. That fence is going to be
six foot high. If you put evergreens in front, then you won't even be able to
see what's parked in the back because he's coming much closer to 48 then
anything else that's ever been there.
I thought originally he was just going to have parking in the back but now t
see it's wrapping around the building. You can still move the vehicles in the
back. From what I see, most of the vehicles are half ton pick up trucks.
Even if they're pulling a trailer, you can back a trailer into that site. No, you
probably won't be able to make a U-turn, but he undoubtedly knew this
when he bought the property. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: OK, any other comments?
Steve Latson: I'm Ellen's husband and live next door to the east. I really
don't have anything to add other than what I think which has already been
said. The code is right, it should be 20 feet. We only have a third of an acre,
this 20 foot is critical to us. A third of an acre, we Rave a tiny little property
and without the 20 feet there's just no way. Bernie's 100% correct a bout the
overhanging of trees. The only way you're going to get evergreens to grow
in there is if you do go the full 20 feet.
Besides that, on the side I wouldn't mind 10 feet of evergreen and then
maybe more open area, because if you put the evergreens right up against
our property, we have some deciduous trees that wilt suffer from planting, if
you plant the full 20 feet in that area. We'd kind of like to work out an
arrangement. We haven't really talked to the people at S&L except one day I
saw him hanging out in the back yard and I went over and introduced
myself, otherwise we haven't communicated whatsoever.
They actually came on our property and cut some tree limbs off our trees I
understood they were going to cut some of the limbs, but I would like to
Southold Town Planning Board
September 14; 1998
have been notified that they were going to go 4 feet onto our property
instead of on our property line. It just seems normal to me, that's the way I
do business. And as far as Tom's buffer, that buffer should extend within
15-20 feet of Kenny's Road, the evergreen buffer. Because as it sits now
with the buffer right at the gate area, Tom is still fully exposed. So that
buffer has to go down 15-20 feet. All you have to do is go out there with a
tape measure, Tom can meet with the people and say, right here, and
everybody will all agree, yeah this is it, this is the spot.
The only other thing I would say is when we did talk to the people at S&L,
this side area that they want to fence in, they kind of indicated would be
about 30 feet further to the north than it is now. This is a really deep area. I
measured the area. If they have a 20 foot buffer, you know, put a fence up
and then a 20 foot buffer area. Like I said, 1 would prefer maybe I0 feet of
evergreen and then an open space because in part of that area you're not
going to be able to grow your evergreens and if you do grow them further
down to the south, you're just going to kill our deciduous bushes. In other
words, I'd like to work with these people and do it right, that's all I'm saying.
They still have 40 feet to park, to store, to do whatever they want. I just
think, they bought and they should be real happy with it. As Ellen said,
otherwise they're just expanding their property which would increase their
value and it's certainly going to decrease the values of the two residents
next door.
One last thing, lighting. Ellen mentioned it. We really, really don't want to
see security lights on all night long. If they need a light in the yard that they
can turn on to go find something, to move things around, or in the fall when
it gets dark early, great. But permanent, full time lighting there would really
impact our property dramatically, and I'm sure Tom feels the same way.
That's it, this is so simple. We'd really like a little more communication. We'd
like to get the 20 foot buffer and then even then just discuss the plantings
and all that kind of stuff, that's all. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Any other comments?
Donna Dzugas-Smith: I'm the neighbor across the street that,s going to be
having a winery across the street so of course people coming and entering
are going to see this building, this business. As you know, the North Road is
a mixture of everything. The moratorium, I don't totally understand the
status of it, whether it's in effect, is it a law, is it not. I unoerstand it's an
existing building. I don't know where that plays into this particular site plan
I'd like that considered.
Southold Town Planning Board
September 14, 1998
I find him to try to be a friendly neighbor. He explained to me very well what
his plan was. I received in the mail, I walked over there, I spoke with him, we
spoke about it. I have a concern about chain link fences. 1 feel that totally
detracts from the country look and if that's what we're looking for on the
North Road, I have a problem with that. So I appreciate the fact that you're
going to try to hide it with trees.
I'd like something in, what's it called, Covenants and Restrictions that when
businesses are so close to residential...I know when I just put a ot line
around my lot, and I have 29 acres, and putting a lot line around an existing
house I have a Covenant and Restriction that I cannot have any other access
for certain uses off the North Road, and I have 29 acres and I'm right across
that. So, here you're talking about a little piece of acreage with an existing
business building. I'd like to work with him, I think he's very workable, think
his ideas are good. But, I think you have to look at all the residents next
door and you have to say, how is this going to be covered? One of the
concerns I expressed to him was, OK this is what you want now, but get real
successful and two years down the road, three years down the road, he
wants to cover it to protect...he says, no 1 won't. I'd like something in there
saying that's not going to happen, it's not going to expand.
Look at all our communities west of us. How does it start out? It starts out
like this, with the spaces that we have now. They slowly become fenced in,
residential or business, everyone wants their privacy, their trees, their
fences, etc. Then the next thing you know, there's awnings, and then all of
a sudden those awnings become enclosed, and the next thing you Know
these buildings are bigger and everything is real close together. And this is
going to spread out to Southotd. This is why we have our code. This is why
we have people like you. This is why we have Boards. And this is why we're
having this public hearing, something is planned for. So let's hope that this
is not a step to lead into other things.
I have a problem with site plan waivers, especially now since t Know what 'm
going through. When you buy a place...I Know D&D Cycle building is another
problem. It's going to break down the road. I don't want them using this as
an example, I don't want them saying, "hey, he got a site plan waiver. He
bought that building, it was an existing building." D&D Cycles - an existing
building - I don't want a site Plan waiver. That's right in front of my vineyard.
I'm thinking ahead, I want you guys to think ahead.
You're one of the most dependable departments in the Town Hall. You're
very thorough, you're quite professional, and I appreciate that and I'd ike
you to look to all this. I think a lot of good points have been brought up
Southold Town Planning Board
10
September 14, 1998
tonight. I think this is a very workable neighbor. I ttqink we can definitely
come to some compromise here. And I disagree that you can't see...I never
knew this neighbor, and I've lived here four years. Now that those trees are
down, I met this neighbor, and he's across the road. So yes, that buffer did
make a difference. I never saw his house, I never saw him. I see him coming
and going now. So these are things that we do need to plan and doesn't
need to be spelled out, and this is our chance to bring it all up.
The other problem, which you've told us over and over we've got to bring
this up to the Town Board, is Light Business zone. When I spoke to Bob,
irrigation in a Light Business zone - I have a question about that, but he says
irrigation is in Agricultural zone, that this business is irrigation in agricultural
land. This is something we need to bring up to the Town Board for a code
zone. Because if this is something being brought to you as a light business
use that is acceptable, that's something that needs to be better planned for
and doesn't always need to fall on your shoulders. Because it's a business,
no matter how you look at it, it's a business. So we need to plan welt. Thank
you. (Change tape).
Rob Leonard: Afew good points came up, some that I think are bad points,
From Mr. Latson, we did speak one evening out on the side yard of the
building and we did give qim our plans that we wanted to re-plant a hedge
before I even knew that it was mandated. It's always been my intentions to
re-plant a hedgerow. I've always wanted that. At that time, I did ask if we
could trim some limbs off the tree, that he said we came onto his property
and cut back four foot into his property. His one comment to me at that
time was so long as you don't make it look like a straight wall, we have no
problem with that.
The man that actually trimmed the tree does actually work for me. He spent
about ten years working for Shamrock Tree Service prior to coming to my
employment. He's very knowledgeable on trimming trees. Steve's wife
actually came out at the time and worked with the man, am mistaken ~n
that?
As far as lighting is concerned on the site as I discussed with the Planning
Board, we have no intentions of putting up any additiona lighting to the
building other than what is there right now.
As far as how far the buffer is running at this point in time, that was the
Board's discretion or recommendation [o me in the letter that you sen~ me
it was the length of the proposeO fence. I really don't have a problem with
extending that. would like, and I really don't know with the staggered
Southold Town Planning Board
'1'1 September '14, '1998
spacing and the way it's written and wanted, I think I can give my neighbors
more privacy with a solid hedgerow, which is what I would prefer and
wanted to do in the first place. I will definitely work with my neighbors on
that aspect. I really do believe, although it is a Town ordinance and Town
code with these buffers and what not, but t think it's more between Steve
and his family and Tom and his family, and us more so than a lot of the other
people.
Bernie, and I'm sorry, but I don't know your last name, but he was upset
with how far forward we were putting the fence. Again, that was the
recommendation of your Board since we didn't fence in the back area to
move the fence forward.
Again, according to Town code, I am entitled to fence in the entire property
and I don't have to put any hedge on the south facing fence. However, 1
would like to screen that fence. I don't want the fence to be seen. The
whole idea of it is to keep it a secure area, that's why I don't necessarily
need the lighting, I have the fence. If I don't have the fence, then I'll have
to do the lighting and we'll be back here again to go through it over again.
As far as the overhang of the trees are concerned, and that is a concern.
And I'm trying to work with the nurseries to find a variety of evergreen that
will grow well in the shade. There are some out there. There are some
shady spots on the property. Again, I do believe I'm entitled to trim any
trees that hang over my property. Not that I want to butcher any trees,
that's not my intention.
The 20 foot buffer, if I'm mandated to do that, what can I say, what can I
do? However, I will guarantee the Board that the fence will not go 10 foot
off the property line should I be mandated to make a 20 foot buffer, don't
have a problem with changing the chain link to stockade if that would please
the Board and the neighbors.
I would like to work with everybody. I guess if everybody was at the work
session that we sat down at we could have worked this through before this
point. Burl also have my concerns with the moratorium. I don't want my
permit applications to expire prior to settling this whole matter. I guess
that's all I really have to say at this point in time. Thank you.
Bernard Heinisch: Again, my name is HeinJsch, I live on 48. In reference to
my piece of property, my back yard I can see the entire rear yard of this
gentlemen's property. I can see the entire siae yard from this gentlemen's
property. I can see the garbage containers. I can see all the vehicles. I
Southold Town Planning Board
12
September 14, 1998
don't have to live right next door. I live adjacent to Latsons. Our back yards
are open.
As far as the lighting is concerned, I believe that the Town code states that
no lighting will shine in the evening after a certain time. So lighting is out
after a certain time, for security purposes on commercial property, that's to
my reCollection. As far as the moratorium goes, isn't the moratorium in
effect now for fencing, that no permit will be granted - for 9 months. Is
that correct?
Mr. Kassner: Who are you addressing your question to?
Mr. Heinisch: To the Board.
Mr. Orlowski: We'll have to investigate that.
Mr. Heinisch: Thank you.
Donna Dzugas-Smith: Can t just add something. I don't know if you guys did
go past my property and see it staked out. I think one of the problems with
the Town, people meed to - as these plans are being made, and maybe it
makes your job too involved - you just need to see it. One of the things
Bernie pointed out to me, he has that doctors office right next to him, and
ten years ago - I didn't know the building was that old, actually it's a very
messy building - ten years ago he was asked to put evergreens in order to
have that business next to a residence. Do you know those evergreens are
this high, and they were built ten years ago, and they're straggly. SO the
best laid plans sometimes don't work out. So sometimes if you go and look
at the site and say, hey, you know what, on paper it looks like this. Stand on
his property and look at my property and see how it's going to look, what
I'm doing. Stand on my property and look at this property. I don't know
how involved we can get on this but, it's just something for thought.
Mr. Orlowski: Some of those are enforcement issues that have to be
addressed by the building department. OK does the Board have any
comments or questions?
Mr. Edwards: The only comment I have is that there have been a lot of good
issues presented tonight and I think we need to research it.
Mr. Orlowski: Does the rest of the Board feel that way?
Mr. Cremers: I think we hold the hearing open.
Southold Town Planning Board
13
September 14, 1998
Mr. Orlowski: Hold it open? OK. There were a lot of good comments
brought up, one of them being the moratorium, and the 20 foot buffer and
I have some notes here. We will take a look at it. The Board at this time will
hold the hearing open and I'll entertain that motion.
Mr. Latham: So moved.
Mr. Ward: Second.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded to hold the hearing open. All
those in favor?
Ayes: Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Ward, Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Cremers.
Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? Motion carried.
Mr. Latham: One good thing that all the principles are here and I think that's
very important.
Mr. Latson: Could l ask a question? Could we all just meet, I mean when
you're going to come over there? I'm painting our house right now, I'm
available any time for the next week and a half, then I start fishing.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, I have a small list here so when we get to that point, we'll
let you know.
Mr. Latson: I'm just saying the communication has been really non-existent.
The only time we've talked to the people was late in the evening, they were
drinking beers and I just thought I'd go over and introduce myself and we
just had a brief discussion, this is what we're going to do, and I said OK, well
we'd like to work with you and we'll discuss this and blah, blah, blah, and
that was it, we never talked to them since.
