PUB LIC HEARINGS
December 12, 1994
Mr. Ward: 7:30 p.m. Cove Beach Estates - This major subdivision is for 34 lots on
98.27 acres located on the north side of Main Road; 1776 feet east of Stars Road in
East Marion. SCTM# 1000-22-3-15.1 & 18.3. Is the applicant here, or agent?
Charles Cuddy: I'm Charles Cuddy. I appear on behalf of the owner who is Raoui
Witeveen who is here tonight. Also with us are a number of people; Young & Young
represented by Ken Abruzzo, Joe Fischetti, the engineer and John Halsey and Tim
Caufield from the Peconic Land Trust. This application has been before the Board for
a number of years. It's had, as you know, several' different owners. Mr. Witeveen is
the current owner and he has complied with the Board's requirements to get to this
point. This is a property that has had not only a Board of Review headng on several
occasions with the Health Department, but had been the subject of a Supreme Court
action. We, at this point in time, have received the Health Department approval and
we have DOT approval and we believe that it's appropriate for the Board to go forward
with the 34 lot subdivision. We've set aside a great many acres for open space and
park and recreation and the subdivision I believe meets all the requirements that the
Board has. And for that reason we would ask the Board give us conditional final
approval subject to, among other things, to posting a performance bond and to
complete a certain lot line application with the owner (inaudible).
Mr. Ward: OK. We are in receipt of a letter from counsel William Moore representing
Gazza-Lettieri on the property to the east and that letter will become part of the record
and will be made available to the applicant. Is there anyone else that would like to be
heard this evening regarding this proposed subdivision?
Joseph Gazza: Good evening members of the Board. My name is Joseph Frederick
Gazza. I live at Ogden Lane' in Quogue and I'm an adjacent property owner to the
east. The Board may be aware that I've appeared before you at least a dozen times,
maybe more, in connection with my proposed development which is runn ng
simultaneously with the Cove Beach Development. As their development has been
through a most likely 10 year review process, so has mine. By mine, I am talking
about the Andrew Lettieri and the Joseph Frederick Gazza parcels as one. The key
issue in the development of the Letfieri-Gazza property has always been the access
issue and it has been my position that a coordinatedplan of access should be
accomplished with the two developments, since they are adjacent properties, since
they share similar problems and since they both have only 50 or 60 feet of frontage on
the Main Road.
I had outlined in a previous letter to this Board back in March of 1992, I'll provide the
Board with a copy at this time -- the reasons for the coordination of access, reasons
that I did not come up with by myself, but reasons that the Town of Southold Town
Trustees determined were important for eliminating two roads side by side or
eliminating a crossing of a wetland area with a roadway or a bridge, for aesthetics.
For reasons that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
responded to about the non-necessity of having two roads in excess of 1400 feet, side
by side. The DEC clearly made the point that there shou Id be coordinated access, a
coordinated road system. There should be planning between the two developments. I
have been unsuccessful in negotiating with the property owners up to now, that may
change now I'm not sure, but the pdor owners, Mr. Harold Reese and others, I've
Southold Town Planning Board
3 December 12, 1994
never been successful in negotiating with them for a coordinated access. My
background in real estate and planning subdivision precess, I have never seen an
instance where a Planning Board could look at two maps side by side and know full
well that on map is very difficult to develop with the access that it has, if not
impossible, and not coordinate access between the two maps. I spent a little while this
afternoon at the County Center in Riverhead and I ren out every subdivision map that
this Board has approved in the last l~ve years. And I studied every single map. And
I'd like to report to the Board that, I had a roll of quarters making photocopies of maps
where the Planning Board looked at a parcel, determined that for coordination between
this parcel and adjacent lands that an access spur should be provided. It's a normal,
ordinary planning point.
I'll start with the map of West Mill subdivision for M. Paul Friedberg, where the Board
set forth a road leading to additional lands off of the -- well, let's see, it's your file
number~9539, July, 20, 1994. You may be familiar with that one. If I could present
these maps to the Board?
We have a second subdivision map known as the Southold Villas. Your filed map
number9237 in which Jasmine Lane was provided to continue into adjacent properties
to future access with coordination in mind. We have the map of August Acres in which
a spur road known as the Sage Spur was provided in the subdivision specifically to
connect, into future property, and it was labeled as Sage Spur, the adjacent property
was the~land of Sage. The map of Thomas MacKenzie filed number 9001, wherein the
Board provided a 50 foot right of way to connect into the land of Latham Farms. The
map of Highpoint Meadows, number 8912 It's an interesting one, the Board provided
a cul-de,sac at the .perimeter of the map and called it the Tuthill Road extension with
the prevision that the cul-de-sac turn around was to be eliminated when the road
continued into the adjoining development. The map of Chardonnay Woods at
Southold, where the Planning Board also sougl3t then to extend a road through open
space land, the access for a read, through open space to be preserved, in order to
connect it to the lands of Sawicki, which were undeveloped, an acreage parcel
adjacent. That was filed map 8822.
There's been a longstanding, prectice of this Board to follow proper zoning and
planning principles to provide for future development, to coordinate developments
when possible. And I think that that step in connection with these two subdivisions,
that of Gazza-Lettieri and Cove Beach Estates, has not been fully:completed by the
Board and I was hoping that the Board may reflect on your past prectices, on the law,
and on the fact that you have adjacent property owners who have been before you
for eight years focusing on the same issue, asking the Board for your consideretion to
provide an access spur and I appear before you this evening, I know it's the final
application of this map, but my request is the same and I would hope that the Board
would consider such an access spur to eliminate the problems that will develop with
uncoordinated development of these two properties. Thank you.
Mr. Ward: Anyone else like to address this particular project?
Mr. Cuddy: I would like to address Mr. Gazza's remarks. He wanted you to reflect on
the law from the past. I didn't hear any law, and I don't think there is any to say that a
neighboring property has the right to go over your property, which is what he proposes.
But I'd like to review the facts with you a little bit because I don't think that they were
Southold Town Planning Board 4 December 12. 1994
fully,laid out. Mr. Gazza bought this piece of property a number of years ago. He has
not gotten yet to an Environmental Impact Statement, and ifs been more than eight
years since he's owned the property. His parcel is apparently five separate minor
subdivisions that he's trying to get this Board in one point or another to approve. He
hasn't gotten really out of the environmental area yet and he does not have in fact
before you, and actual subdivision. He's got a proposal. We're done effectively with
our subdivision map. VVhat he's asking is that you hold up our map so that something
can be done with his map. I know of no principle that says you must (inaudible) your
neighbors property with the imposition of a so called spur. There's none at law, and
Mr. Gazza has not cited any law.
Quite frankly, what Mr. Gazza is really asking this Board to do is not good planning.
Because if it was good planning, Mr. Gazza could have stood up here and said, I want
one road, you can use my road. But I haven't heard that offer because we're not going
to hear that offer, because Mr. Gazza has a problem with his property, but he forgets
to tell what the problem is and the problem is that it's fragile. Of course, you know that
it's fragile. And what he did was he created a hardship. He bought a piece of
property, it wasn't good, and he wants us, the neighboring property to assist him at this
point:, and that's just wrong to do. There's no question of good planning, puffing a
spur. That's nonsense to give you all sods of spur related maps. Spurs are often
done, but this isn't a spur. This is taking Mr. Gazza out of a problem and putting him
across our property and doing it at the last moment. All this is tonight is a question of
leverage and the Board shouldn't lend itself to this type of (inaudible). Thank you.
Mr. Ward: Any further comments?
Mr. Gazza: I'd like to respond, if I may?
Mr. Ward: If you could make it bdef it would be appreciated.
Mr. Gazza: Thank you Mr. Chairman I don't know if the Board can see the
subdivision map from this distance but -- have you had an opportunity to review the
map, ~Mr. Cuddy? -- it's easy to discern that the Cove Beach Road and the Gazza-
Lettied Road is running through land that is not environmentally sensitive for a distance
of approximately 1400 feet, side by side. Absolutely two side by side roads. I have no
problem, and neither does Mr. Lettied with using either the Cove Beach Road or the
Gazza-Lettied road. We'd be very happy to use just one. This is just improper to have
two reads side by side. Now, we'll offer our read and we have offered to the pdor
owners, Mr. Reese, to share 50/50 in the construction of the road, in one road. And
that offer was extended to the new owner. We're not here to get something for
nothing. We're here to work on a coordinated plan and to share equitably for the
benefit of both properties, the value of the properties and Southold in particular, by
eliminating two roads side by side.
Now, the peninsula portion of the Gazza-Lettied development, does need an access
spur. And it needs it just like those other subdivisions, which I gave the Board copies
of, needed an access spur. And we'll pay for that also. I will offer land, money or road
improvements for that access spur. I am here, and I am here on behalf of Mr. Lettied,
to work with my neighbor, financially and physically to accomplish something that's
best for both subdivisions. As far as the comments pertaining to the subdivision
application, we have applications which are pending. Our fees have been paid; they've
Southold Town PJanning Board 5 December 12. 1994
been pending for years. They're actual subdivision applications. We have gone into
the SEQR process. We have had a Scoping Session with Chic Voorhis, who was
compensated, who represents the Town. At that Scoping Session it was determined
that an alternate access over the wetland area must be accomplishe(~ in order to
proceed. We cannot cross that wetland area without creating impacts which were, in
the opinion of the Town's environmental consultants, too severe to handle.
Therefore, we cannot proceed under SEQR. We can do an impact statement, we've
discussed it. We've had consultants, we've retained En-Consultants, Mr. Roy Haje, but
we cannot proceed unless alternate access is provided. That's why we have not
proceeded under our SEQR and submitted a DEIS. If we have an access spur, a
DEIS will follow. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Ward: Is there anyone else here that would like to address this particular
application?
Mr. Russell: My name is Mr. Russell and we own the adjacent property to the west.
We're entirely in favor of the 34 acre set up. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
Mr. Cuddy: I would like to make just one point to the Board. We have DOT approval.
Mr. Gazza and Mr. Lettied do not have DOT approval. We have a read that we can go
over; despite what he says, Mr. Gazza can't go over his read and I think that should
very much be part of the record.
Mr. Ward: Is there anyone else here this evening that would like to address the Cove
Beach Estates subdivision? If not, I believe then that all is in order to close the
headng.
Mr. McDonald: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion to close.
Mr. Odowski: Second.
Mr. Ward: Motion seconded. All in favor?
Ayes: Mr. McDonald, Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Ward.
Mr. Ward: Opposed? Motion carried.
Mr. Ward: 7:35 p.m. Anna K. Plock - This major subdivision is for 5 lots on 21.79
acres, located on an existing right of way off North Bayview Rd., approximately 935
feet east of Reydon :Road in Southold. Four of the lots are between 1.7 acres and 2.2
acres in size. The fifth lot:is a reserved area to be conveyed to the Peccnic Land
Trust. SCTM# 1000-79-5-20.2.
I notice that the attorney for the applicant is here. Mr. Lark if you would just come
forward for a second. There are several things that we would like to see put on the
map. One would be that the easement for park and recreation be shown on the map.
There's a few other things that we have technically that we want to put on the map.
We can approve that, subject to, and so before you go into park and recreation and
Southold Town Planning Board
the rest of it I think everything's in order.
Mr. Lark: OK.
6 December 12, 1994
Mr. Ward: So you don't have to necessarily give us all the reasons tonight, we're
agreeing as long as it shows on the map as an easement.
Mr. Lark: You mean lot number five?
Mr. Ward: Yes, for the park and playground.
Mr. Lark: Alright, the only thing she asked me to get you, I worked out all the
language changes on the C&R's. That's all been done.
Mr. Ward: Well, that's going to be subject to...
Mr. Lark: ...subject to anyway and she wanted to know what my costs were for
construction. I finally calculated those, I have those here, I can hand them to you.
Mr. Ward: Well, you can give them in but that will still be subject to right now, so...
anything else?
Mr. Lark: Well, basically I appear before the Board, the applicant, and ask that the
map be approved. The C&R's which will be filed simultaneously, the minor language
changes I have worked out with the planner, Melissa Spiro. The engineering fee, she
asked me since there should be no bond posted for this because all of the
improvements have been done according to the inspection of Mr. Richter and I will
hand up the cost that I did incur so that you'll have those in setting the inspection fee.
Those are actual costs that I did incur, which were a little bit less than if the
municipality had to do it.
The Homeowners Association, which will also be a condition of the Board approval is
being approved at the Attorney General's office now, and soon as that gets approved
and this Board approves the map to be filed with the C&R's, and some minor
technicalities that you wanted relative to putting on the park and recreation easement,
I'll do that in cooperation with you; I understand what you need there.
The Health Department has rendered approval, as you have that approval before you.
They did that in October. So, that pretty much meets all your requirements and I ask
that it be approved at your earliest convenience subject to the conditions that you need
to put on for final approval.
Mr. Ward: Is there anyone else here this evening that would like to address this
subdivision? If not, all is in order to close the hearing.
Mr~ McDonald: I move to close this hearing.
Mr. Edwards: Second.

Dr. Lizewski: At this time I've decided to forgo continuing with my site plan with the
building that I've applied for and I would like to know should I go back to the original
site plan and put the six car parking lot in that I have there, that was passed, or...what
do I have to do with the new parking lot?
Mr. Ward: With what?
Dr. Lizewski: Well, I put in a parking lot for 22 care. On the odginal site plan that Was
approved, I have a site plan for 6 cars. So, since I'm not continuing to build this
building that I originally started, I want to know do you want me to put back the 6 car
parking lot?
Mr. Ward: Well, if you're filing for a site plan at this point...
Dr. Lizewski: I'm not filing for a site plan any longer. I'm not going to build anything.
Mr. Ward: OK, so you go back to what You had originally.
Dr. Lizewski: So you want me to put the six car parking lot in there?
Mr. Ward: Does that calculate out Joe as to what you're doing there?
Dr. Lizewski: It was approved on the original plan and what I'm worried about is that it
was approved on the original site plan, so if that what it was...
Mr. Ward: Is there anything on that site plan that's there now that wasn't on an original
site plan?

comes out to the original site plan that was approved, for my CO's.
Mr. McDonald: Come back and take a look at it with Bob to see what the rnpact is.
We've got to look at the two maps to see...there's probably no impact though.
Dr. Lizewski: There's no impact certainly from an elevator shaft.
Mr. Ward: Review it with Robert and we'll take a look at it.
Dr. Lizewski: To me, if I have to go through all sorts of hoops to get the 22 car
parking spots approved, I'd rather just go back and give you the six car parking lot that
was originally approved.
