I'd just like to update you as best I can on the water issues in regard to Hillcrest Estates. The Health Department samples have all been taken. We are awaiting the results. We've had some preliminary results that indicate about 8 of the lots do not meet drinking water standards. We'll be looking at the covenants as well as reviewing the lot layout, based on finalization of those results. We still haven't gotten the pesticide results back yet. Other than that rd be willing to answer any questions at this point. Mr. Ward: At this point, what the Board is going to do, because we have to act tonight on the basis of subdivision, is that we're going to have a motion that's going to come up now that is going to actually bring you back to prelim. We'll Southold Town Planning Board 7 May 23, 1994 still pursue expeditiously with you, from our end, all the reviews and that, but we are at a point where we just can't extend this any longer. By code and by law we have to, at this point, take an action. It doesn't mean that we are going to drop dead on this project, but it will mean that we will have to go back to the prelim and then move ahead with you through this process. So that's where we're at. I'd like to have the Board, at this point, present a resolution. Mr. McDonald: Mr. Chairman, rd like to make a motion that WHEREAS, preliminary approval was granted to the major subdivision of Hillcrest Estates (Section One and Section Two) on June 15, 1982; and WHEREAS, the final plat for Hillcrest Estates Section One was approved on March 7, 1983; and WHEREAS, since 1986, miscellaneous information pertaining to the application for Section Two was submitted, reviewed and processed by the Planning Board, however, the final submission was never completed; and WHEREAS, the road improvements for both Sections .were constructed at the same time, although a performance guarantee was not submitted for Section Two; and WHEREAS, since the applicant notified the Planning Board that he intended to aggressively pursue the pending subdivision application, a final hearing for Hillcrest Estates Section Two was set for October 19, 1992; and WHEREAS, the final hearing was held on October 19, 1992, and was held open to allow the applicant to obtain Health Department approval and to complete other outstanding requirements for final subdivision approval; and WHEREAS, the Planning Board agreed to numerous extensions requested by the applicant to allow the final hearing to remain open; and WHEREAS, the Planning Board, on March 28, 1994, closed, the final hearing thereby establishing a final time frame of sixty-two (62) days to make a final determination on the final subdivision and notified the applicant that the final determination was scheduled for the Planning Board's May 23, 1994 meeting, and that all outstanding items must be completed by that date; and WI-tEREAS, the applicant was unable to submit all of the outstanding items needed by the Planning Board to grant final approval to the subdivision within the established time frame; be it therefore RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board deny without prejudice the final application for Hillcrest Estates Section Two. Southold Town Planning Board 8 May 23, 1994 The Planning Board's denial of the fmal application has caused the proposed subdivision to regress to the preliminary stage of subdivision review. If final approval is not reapplied for within six (6) months of the date of this resolution, the Planning Board shall revoke the preliminary plat approval, and the file shall be closed. The following items are required to reapply for final approval of Hillcrest Section Two: As per the Planning Board's policy, a new application fee equal to one-half the major subdivision application fee must be submitted. The fee is to be calculated as follows: $500. plus $50. per acre or part thereof in the proposed subdivision. Final maps (5 paper prints and 2 mylars) containing a stamp of Health Department approval must be submitted. Verification from the Orient Fire District must be submitted stating that the water storage tanks that were installed in lieu of fire wells have been installed in a satisfactory manner. The location of the storage tanks must be indicated on the final subdivision map. A Homeowners Association must be prepared for all areas of common ownership within the subdivision. A draft of the document must be submitted to the Town for review. Once the document is approved by the Town, it must be recorded prior to any endorsement of the final subdivision. A draft bond estimate of the work remaining' to be completed must be submitted for review by the Planning Board and the Engineering Inspector. Once the bond estimate is approved by the Town, a performance guarantee will be required prior to any final approval of the subdivision. An inspection fee will also be required. The inspection fee will be calculated on the amount of the overall improvements for Section Two, not for the work included in the above mentioned bond estimate. As noted in the Planning Board's letter dated May 10, 1994, the Planning Board determined that additional environmental documentation, as detailed in the report dated April 29, 1994, from the Board's consultant, was necessary in order to provide a means to assess the si~ificance of the impacts outlined in the report. Once the additional documentation is submitted, the Planning Board will continue the SEQRA review. The SEQRA review may necessitate changes to the final map, the recording of a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions and the submission of additional information. You will be notified if any of these are required as the SEQRA review progresses. The information Southold Town Plann/ng Board 9 May 25, 1994 required by the Planning Board in the May 10th letter must be submitted within three (3) months from the date of this resolution to allow the SEQRA review, and any additional information and changes to the map required as a result of the review, to be completed within the six (6) month time frame.
