I see the agent for the applicant is here. Would you like to address the Board? Henry Raynor: Good evening. Happy holidays to everyone. My name is Henry Raynor and I'm representing Richard Corazzini. The proposed site plan before you was started before this Board in 1992. It's comprised of 6.9 acres of Light Industrial zoned property and the plan is revised and submitted, it has probabty just come back to the Board with this new revision. Before you we believe is in conformance with Section 100-250-256 of the Town code. The front yard setback is aligned with the adjacent parcel to the south, Mr. Grey, which is approximately 75 feet back from Cox Lane in Cutchogue. We request for the approval of the site plan this evening. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them concerning this particular project. Perhaps after the formal part of this hearing I might have a suggestion with regard to some of the new amendments under 100-133C, for the Board. Mr. Ward: Aldght. The Board tonight will probably put a motion on to hold this headng open until January 8 to get our SEQRA coordinated here. We have a site plan that was filled out with a long form which really doesn't coordinate with what's really on paper at this time. We'd like to do a coordinated review with amended plan so that would give us a little time to send it out to the agencies and ho pefuliy on the 8th we could close and approve. Southold Town Planning Board December 11, 1995 Mr. Raynor: Basically, it's just the orientation of the building to the conformance of the new section and ordinance. Mr. Ward: If that was it we would go with it, but we're looking at a 12,000 square foot presentation now. It's up to over 20,000 square foot of building, so, in any case, I don't think it's a major thing, but... Ms. Scopaz: We can do an uncoordinated review, since there were no objections the first time around. Mr. Ward: Valerie says we can do an uncoordinated review... Ms. Scopaz: It's a shorter time span. Mr. Ward: So, at this point then, I'd like to offer the following motion to hold the hearing open until the January 8 Planning Board meeting, to rewse and review the SEQRA to conform to the latest proposed plan. Mr. Orlowski: Second. Mr. Ward: Motion and seconded. All in favor?. Ayes: Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Cremers, Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward: Opposed? Motion carried. Mr. Latham: Henry, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this building? Mr. Raynor: The applicant primarily is building this because presently he's renting space from Jim Grey to store his equipment and trucks and his maintenance and repair. The remainder of the building, as he has indicated to me, is for storage. From there on, if there is going to be a change of use, we're going to have to come back before the Board. I would like to make a comment to the Board. I find that the amendment that was adopted in August by the Town Board, 100-133C becomes something of a problem in that the linear footage of a building fronting on a street being held to 60 feet, given the LI district zoning requirements, the lot width being 100 feet, I can readily understand this. But we have several parcels I can think of just off the cuff, that are 300 or 400 feet in width. To restrict a 60 foot building on a 400 or 300 foot wide parcel of property is going to add to some confusion and $outhold Town Planning Board December 11, 1995 you're going to end up with something similar to Dune Road in some of the building configurations. I would make a suggestion, and the Board may want to pass it on to the Zoning Committee and the Town Board, that the 60 feet set as a minimum in the LI with a 100 foot lot width, is very definitive. There is no problem with that. But, there probably should establish a ratio in proportion to the linear footage of the road, that being the ratio of the linear footage of the road to the building. And if you wanted to keep a 6 to 10 ratio or something of that nature, that again would be very acceptable. But we're going to end up with buildings especially those that front on two streets, with something of rather odd shapes. I thank you for headng my comments. I wish you alt a Merry Christmas.
