PUBLIC HEARINGS
Subdivisions - Final:
Mr. Orlowski: 7:30 p.m. Bergen Hollows - Thisminor subdivision
is for four lots on 10 acres located on the north side of Bergen
Avenue in Mattituck. SCTM ~1000-112-1-16.t. We have proof of
publication in the local papers and at this time everything is
in order for a final hearing. I'll ask if there are any
objections to this subdivision? Hearing none, are there any
endorsements of this subdivision?
Mr. Raynor: I represent Bergen Hollows. You are well aware of
the four lot minor subdivision on ten acres, on it exists one
residence and several barns. I believe all of the fees have
been paid for the subdivision both to the County and to the
Town. The sketch plan approval was given by your Board on April
1st 1991, the covenants and restrictions requested by both the
County and the Town have been filed with the Town and are still
being reviewed by the County Attorney at the Planning Board's
request. Back in June the Planning gave this minor subdivision
a Negative Declaration on the SEQRA and in August of this year
we finally received the approval from the Suffolk County
Department of Health Services and the maps are presently at the
County awaiting stamping. I believe the Planning Board is in
receipt of the letter from the Mattituck Fire District with
regard to the location of fire wells. They are going to be
located to the East of this minor subdivision on the majar
subdivision that surrounds it. and I believe this map is in
conformity with section i06 of the Town Code and I would request
approval from the Board. If there are any questions, I would he
happy to answer them. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K., any other endorsements of this subdivision?
Hearing none, is there anyone out there neither pro nor con but
may have information pertaining to the subdivision that may be
of interest to the Board? Hearing none, any questions from the
Board?

OTHER
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Charles Cuddy has scheduled an appointment to
talk about Conrad Bagenski subdivision.
Mr. Cuddy: I am here on behalf of Bagenski in reference to
their three lot subdivision which is off the Main Road in
Cutchogue. I ha.ye been here on a number of occasions and we
still have some serious differences and I said I would try and
correct some of those differences and also call your attention
to the things that I think might be oversight on your part.
This essentially is a three lot subdivision, each lot being two
acres. You term it a major subdivision and I am not sure why,
because there is an existing road that is going to be improved?
To determine it a major subdivision because you are hoping to
get $2,000 per lot, that is just a very unfortunate approach to
subdividing.
Mr. McDonald: For what?
Mr. Cuddy: Park and Recreations fees.
Mr. McDonald: You get that in minor subdivisions as well.
Mr. Cuddy: Apparently you do-and I think that is unfortunate
also but if that is not the reason then we lose all reason
altogether because you can't tell me it is a major s~bdivision
because there is a road and because there is a road it is a
major subdivision. There is s~mething wrong with that kind of
logic. As far as I am concerned, it is a minor subdivision and
that is just the starting point.
SOt~HOLDTOWN PLANNING BOARD 17 SEPTEMBER 14, 1992
You wrote me two letters and I gave them to you and I
highlighted sections of those letters. You wrote me on July
17th, 1992 and five weeks later on August 25, 1992 you wrote
another letter. In the first letter you said to me, and this is
the part that I highlighted. Because the highway specifications
are not part of the subdivision regulations, the Planning Boald
does not have the power to reduce the road specifications. You
must obtain a waiver from the Highway Superintendent and the
Town Board. I went to the Highway Superintendent and the
Highway Superintendent refers to the Town Engineer and the Town
Engineer suggests to you that we do get a waiver as I read his
letter. You then addressed me after getting that back from the
Engineer and from the Highway Superintendent in the letter of
August 25, 1992 and at the end of your letter of August 25, you
say that it is the opinion of this Board that the proposal as
such does not warrant an additional waiver. In one letter in
July, you tell me you don't have the power and in August you
tell me you are making a dete~minatio~ that we can't have a
waiver and I don't know how you do that.
I believe that your first letter was correct and I submit to you
that you don't have the power and that the Engineer and the Town
Highway Superintendent made a determination and I would ask that
that be passed on to the Town Board if that is the appropriate
procedure. I believe that this is a minor subdivision and I
bring this to your attention because it is significant to my
client. One lot has a house and a driveway that we discussed
several times. That leaves two vacant lots. If we put, as you
would like us to, a road that has a four inck compacted base,
three quarter inch stone, if I add this top to it and some sort
of binder in between, the estimates I get are $17.00 a square
yard. We have over a thousand square yards and we are talking
about somewhere about $17,000 dollars for the road for two lots,
an existing road. We have a firewelt and we will get to that in
a minute but the firewell is going to cost us probably $10,000
or $12,000 dollars. We paid you $2500 in filing fees, there are
surveying fees and they are a couple of thousand dollars. When
we get through witb the Parkand Recreation we are going to have
per lot cost of the vacant lots of over $15,000 dollars per
lot. That is enormous, people cannot subdivide under those
circumstances.
I am going to ask you to really consider what you are doing to
the minor subdivision. This is an old farmer who is giving his
children some lots and he is giving them at a cost of close to
$20,000 per lot and I think that is high. I would hope you
would take a strong look at the philosophy behind what you are
doing. But, more importantly, I would ask you to go back to
your letters of the 17th of July of the 25th of July and make a
determination that this matter with reference to the roads is
either weighed or it is sent on to the Town Board for their
determination. The expense to my client has becoming erroneous
and I believe they are entitled to a further waiver and I would
ask you to look
SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD 18 SEPTEMBER 14, 1992
again at these letters and make that determination. I am
concerned that the cost has just become prohibited.
I want to address the question of firewells and I have asked you
once before where your authority is for the firewells? It
certainly is not in your part of the code. If it is not there,
I would submit to you that you don't have it. The fact that
there are specifications set forth in the code deesn't mean that
you can have people install firewells and you ask somebody to
install firewells, you ask them to bear the entire cost, so
essentially what you are asking them to do with this road.
Again, I think that is too much but more importantly, you don't
have the authority to do that so I ask you to look specifically
at the road and I ask you to look at the firewell and I ask you
to retract some of the things that you have done because I think
they are in error and therefore I submit to you that the letter
of July 25th should be revised and I am asking you to do that.
I am here and I have taken some of your time so please take more
of it if you have some questions because I would really like to
have my client to have the opportunity to have some of these
things resolved. Before I close, I will say this, you wrote me
a letter six months ago and said our time expires on October
1st, my client took six months alone just to get approval from
the Health Department because we had. to do two deep wells that
were over 160 feet so I would ask this Board to consider that
and grant him some additional time to finish this subdivision.
Thank you.
Mr. Ward: Mr. Cuddy, on the road itself, the report from Mr.
Richter where he had recommendations on the sixteen foot road,
is that a contention?
Mr. Cuddy: No, I have no problem with the sixteen foot road,
what I am concerned about is the type of surface.
Mr. Ward: What t am saying is that he has put in here, in this
particular memorandum his recommendation to upgrade the existing
road. Is that a bone of contention?
Mr. Cuddy: That's not a contention. I agree with that.
Mr. Orlowski: Does anyone else have any questions? For that
extension, if you get us a lette~, we can do it at our next
meeting next Monday. There will still be time.
Mr. Cuddy: O.K. thank you.
Mr. Cuddy: Could I have the opportunity to return because I am
also here for people named Taggart? Mr. and FAts. Taggert are in
the audience and I represent Linde Taggart. She owns a piece of
property, a half acre, just east of (inaudible) on the Main
Road. The Taggarts have submitted a site plan applicatien
sometime I understand it in May of this year~ They then went to
the Zoning Board of Appeals because there was concern that they
SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD 19 SEPTEMBER 14, 1992
had an existing merged lot and also maybe the parcel wasn't
appropriate_for the shop they proposed. The Zoning Board then
made two determinations. One having to do with the variance and
the other having to do with special exception. The variance was
granted and the variance effectively unmerged the lot that was
there. It was an adjoining lot. A special exception was
granted and_that said that they could have a nautical antique
shop on that site. Since they have heard nothing from the
Planning Board, they would like the Planning Board to let them
know that this matter, site plan wise was proceeded and it would
be on your next calendar unless there is some problem with this
application. They have had some letters from you and I won't
let them go by because I think that you should be aware that I
am aware of them so that all of us can be talking about the same
thing. The letter at one time talked about a minor subdivision
requirement, I don't understand that in light of the variance
that was granted because the lots are no longer merged. If the
card thinks that a mlnor subdlvlsl.on ~s required or a s~ngle
and separate search is required, I would ask that you tell us
now, because I need to know why they would be required? They
need to know now.
Mr. Orlowski: You agree that the lots have been merged.
Mr. Cuddy: No, they are unmerged now.
Mr. Orlowski: They were merged.
Mr. Cuddy: They were merged at a point and time sure. They
admitted that.
Mr. Orlowski: Who subdivided them after that?
Mr. Cuddy: At this point, they are not merged any longer. So
when you say who subdivided them, I am not sure that is a
question that can be answered~
Mr. Orlowski: Since the Planning Board is the only Board in
this Town that can subdivide land, how did they get subdivided?
Mr. Cuddy: Maybe we are putting the cart before the horse.
There are two lots, A and B and A and B have different
ownerships ~ud ilf you can tell me how you c.an t~ke A and B with
different o~nership and subdivide th~m, then it will b~e
something new to me. I think the~ are unmerged lots. The
Zoning Board has said in their decision they are unmerged lots
and there is no question about subdivision in there. The lots
don't exist as one lot, they are separate lots and they would
like to move on the basis ~hat they are separate lots. I don't
know how you can say go to a subdivision when you don't have
lots that are ~oined. It is fundamental, I agree with you, I
don't understand the position that you are coming from.
Mr. Orlowski: You do understand me?
SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD 20 SEPTEMB~ 14, 1992
Mr. Cuddy: I understand what you said, I don't understand that
it has meaning. I don't believe it has meaning. I believe what
I said has moreW meaning. What I said is that once they are
unmerged, they are unmerged completely. They don't exist as A,
they exist as A and B. You can't ask someone to subdivision
something when it is already subdivided. The point of merger is
is that they ~ither come together or go apart, tf They come
together you Set them apart. When you set them apart, they
don~t exist together anymore.
Mr. Orlowski: Who set them apart?
Mr. Cuddy: The Zoning Board did. The Zoning Board has that
authority by ~aw. It is. not a ~destion of subdivision, I heard
what you said but it doesn't make sense to me. It is a
fundamental question, I agree with you but I don't understand
how you get to the point of asking somebcd~ to subdivide. More
importantly, these people have had an application before the
Board for three or four months and I assumed that what you were
waiting for was the Zoning Board determination and hopefully it
would be on the next calendar. Just to clear up the other
point, there is no question that single and separate search is
inappropriate. There just isn't any basis for a single and
separate search.
Mr. Orlowski: What would it show us though?
Mr. Cuddy: Why would you ask for it? I'll ask you the question.
Mr. Orlowski: The bottom line is just so we know if it has been
subdivided or not.
Mr. Cuddy: It doesn't make any difference because you have even
if you found it wasn't and I admit at one point it was merge~,
it is not unmerged and so a single an~ separate search isn't
going to show you one. I stand here before you saying yes, for
a two year period out. of the last 150 to 300 years it was merged
and the Zoning Board said now, it is no longer merged so
not sure what we would be doing except going around and around
on the same application. But, I don't understand what
jurisdiction you would have to ask the question to give this a
single and separate search.
Mr. Orlowski: The Planning Board just wants to know who
subdivided the land.
Mr. Cuddy: I think it is irrelevant, it wouldn't matter
anymore. I don't understand why it is so important to know
whether it is subdividad or unsubdivided. I come to you and I
say, she owns the lot, Linda Taggart, her name alone, no one
else. There is no one else. There is no lot around her that
has anybody else's name on that is the same as hers. All of
them are different. At one point in time there was a two year
period when two lots in the area had the sam~ names on them.
SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD 21 SEPTEMBER 14, 1992
They no longer have that. They haven't had it and the Zoning
Board has determined that it doesn't exist. They have come
before youlwith a separate map and I think they are entitled to
have it approved. I am not sure why we go around with this
because I think that is unfair to an applicant to take them on a
tour like this. It has no particula~ meaning except to extend
the time for their site plan approval. I don~t think it does
anything for the Town.
Mr. Orlowski: It wouldn't extend the time for the site plan
because we are going to do bo~h simultaneously.
Mr. Cuddy: I am saying right now, by doing this we are not
really getting the site plan an~ I don't know any purpose in
doing it.
Mr. Orlowski: I know but I have been here for quite a while and
I can't remember a single instance where them subdivided land
and I have been here when there have been many, many parcels
merged by title and we had to s~bdivide them. They had to come
in and apply for a subdivision. Now, this is totally new to me
that the Zoning Board can subdivide land and I am just asking a
question as to how it got subdivided?
Mr, Cuddy: You and I aren't talking the same side of the
issue. I am saying to you the property is unmerged and you are
saying to me no, it is merged add I am saying, no Mr. Orlowski
it is not. It is unmerged. It is very important from my point
of view to accept the fact that somebody un merged it. I don't
care what you call it, but you can't call it subdividing because
they unmerged the lot, if that is what you are talking~ about.
They are entitled to take a lot and treat it like that and say
that it doesn't any longer exist as a single lot. They did
that, once they did that, it is done. I can't find any rhyme
or reason in what you saying as far as subdivision goes. Once
it is done, it is done. We can't put them back together. I
could not bring you a map to ask you to subdivide this lot and
that is what you are asking me to do. It hasn't been for years
as a matter of fact. The last six years this has not been in
(inaudible) and it wasn't except for a twenty-three month
period. Years and years and years ago. So, I am saying to you
it is not a question of Subdivision.
M~. Orlowski: Does the Board have any comments of questions?
Mr. Ward: Mr. Cuddy, I feel what we do in fairness to your
client and to yourself in what you are asking is that we will
get a response to you by Monday.
Mr. Cuddy: I would ask that you schedule a site plan however
you are doing it at your next meeting because of even if you
were to the issue with me and that issue would be a serious,
serious dispute and if we had that issue I would still ask that
the site plan go ahead. I understand the Board has the
SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD
22
SEPTEMBER 14, 1992
authority they
think to say do it but I would tell them that I would think you
are wrong and that is why I am here tonight because this
question has been brought to my attention and they asked me
appear on their behalf because they thought they needed someone
to come in and address that question.
Mr. OrlowSki: I think you can understand myposition. I
haven't seen this before and I have had to tell many other
applicants to come in and set off their properties because they
were merged by title.
Mr. Cuddy: With all due respect I would say .that was an error
and if that happened, to ask somebody to do that again.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, somebody had to subdivide them again but
you are saying the Zoning Board did it.
Mr. Cuddy: I think is is an absolute (inaudible) to say that
you subdivide a merged parcel, I just don't know how you can do
it. We are down to Pretty fundamental concepts in life but I
don't know how you can take something that is not together and
make it to~ether and that is what I am saying to you. I
understand you are going to get back to me so I won't prolong.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K., I am at the end. of my agenda, are there any
other questions or comments from the audience? Hearing none,
any questions from the Board?
Board: No questions.
Mr. Orlowski: I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Ward: So moved.
Mr. Latham: Second.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. All in favor?
Ayes: Mr. Ward, Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards
Mr. McDonald, Mr. Orlowski. '
Mr. Orlowski: So ordered.
