All in favo~ Ayes: Mr. McDonald, Mr. Latham, Mr. Oriowski, Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward: Opposed? Motion carried. So we're looking for a further review of the items that Cramer and Voorhis have identified as potential issues, if you could address those and get those back to us. Mr. Kinzler: Could we get a copy of that? Mr. Ward: Yes. Mr. Kinzler: 1 wanted to let the Board know, if it's of interest, a couple of things. Number one, I know that the firewells have been an ongoing issue. I don't want you to feel that they've been ignored. Casola had initiated the wells and ran into some problems with the fine soil and I understand that they have just about completed, or have completed the installation of the wells. I hope to be able to report to you very quickly that has been completed. I know it's been a concern. Al the wells have been installed on each lot and samples have been taken by the Board of Health. I understand on one tot they couldn't draw a sufficient quantity of water to take a test, but they have taken all the other lots and they're supposed to have been due a couple of days ago, we haven't yet gotten it. We expect it momentarily. Hopefully everything will be completed and finalized by your May 23rd date. Mr. Latham: You mentioned wells. Did you mean tanks or wells? Mr. Kinzler: We've drilled wells on each... Mr. Latham: I meant firawells. Mr. Kinzler: As I understood it, and I'm not sure if you were here at the last meeting, when Casola had dug the wells, he couldn't draw sufficient water, and so they got special permission from the fire distdct to install the wells. Mr. Latham: Yeah, I was confused about that. Southold Town Planning Board 7 May 9, 1994 Mr. Ward: While you're up here, on another subject on Grandview, you're also involved in that particular subdivision? Mr. Kinzler: I'm not personally involved in Grandview, but if there is an issue with Grandview I'd be more than happy to address it with the client. Mr. Ward: We had a question. We hear that there are going to be tanks placed in for that for fire protection as well, instead of wells. The Planning Board has no idea, the Town hasn't been advised, as to where they're proposed to go. We haven't had any communication from the applicant or the fire district. Harold Reese: This was arranged with the Fire Commissioner and if he's neglected to advise the Board, I'll make sure you have it. Mr. Ward: OK Mr. Reese: Casola did meet with the Fire Commissioner, both sides Grandview and Hillcrest, to arrange for the tanks. Mr. Ward: Well the Town doesn't know anything about it. Mr. McDonald: Keep in mind that the fire commissioner's advise us. We decide about the firewells and the tanks. We have no reason to doubt anything that they've ever done, but the decision... Mr. Kinzler: We were not aware of that and if what you're saying is that Casola and the Fire Commissioner have preernpted your authority, it was not intentional. Mr. McDonald: No. there' s no real reason to disagree with them. They know what · they're doing. Mr. Kinzler: No, but our ignoring you was not intentional. Mr. Latham: Are they putting tanks down at Grandview, not wells? Mr. Reese: Tanks. Mr. Ward: Do they have make-up water for these tanks? Mr. Reese: I don't understand the question. Mr. Ward: Are they putting in a small well that would make uP water for these tanks or is it something... Mr. Reese: My understanding, and I could be wrong about this, that the fire department is responsible for filling the tanks if it is used. That was my understanding and I could be wrong in that regard. Southold Town Planning Board 8 May 9, 1994 Mr. Kinzler: I know that Casola had the same problem with the other wells as well, they didn't draw sufficient water. Mr. Ward: OK, we appreciate it. We're trying to reach the distdct also. APPROVAL OF PLANNING BOARD MINUTES Mr. Ward: Board to approve the November 15, 1993 minutes. Mr. Orlowski: So moved. Mr. McDonald: Second.
