PUBLIC HEARINGS
Subdivisions - Final
Mr. Orlowski: 7:30 P.M. James Bitses -- This proposed minor subdivision is

Southold Town Planning Board 2
November 2, !992
Mr. Orlowski: I'll ask if there are any objections to this subdivision?
Elizabeth Schloss: I'm a resident at The Cove, which is exactly across
the creek from where Mr. Bitses' property is. I have lived in Southold
for about 20 years. I'm here because I enjoy the area, and I would cer-
tainlybemore than terribly upset to see anythinG less than ordinary
residential zoning applied to that property. I have some photos taken at
high tide, of the property from my deck and the flood tide there shows
that this property has alot of very interesting waterfront that we in the
Town should work seriously to preserve. I think anything less than two
acre zoning for residential property in that particular location would
endanger a great deal of beauty in this town.
Mr. Orlowski: Would you state your name for the record please?
Elizabeth Schloss: Yes, I'm Elizabeth Schloss. I'm a .homeowner.
Mr. Orlowski: OK. Any other objections to this subdivision? Are there
any endorsements of this subdivision?
James Bitses: The property is 15 acres. It was originally four small lots
belonging to my sister Katherine and the larger parcel belonging to me, with
an entry on the westerly side. You granted four lots in 1979. Entry to my
parcel was on the westerly side. However, around 1984 or 85, some of the
people across the road claimed a right of way and as a result thereof, I
asked my sister to trade off 50 foot rights of way and to shift the four
lots to the west, so that the claimed right of way, whether-it's legitimate
or not, would not interdict the fourth lot.
That means there were four small lots and a large piece of property in
front of it, and ~xe had shifted the right of ~y to coincide with the
claimed right of way of the people across the road. Thereafter, my sister
Katherine asked me if I would give her 800 feet of waterfront, so that she
could take these lots and allocate 200 feet to each lot. I Got a hold of
Van Tuyl and I asked him to draw up the map and he did. As a result, he
had four lots, large lots now, belonging to Katherine Bitses, and a small
lot still belonging to me. Five in total, as always. There always have
been five in total. Now the fifth lot, belonging to me, encompasses the
50 foot right of way that is claimed by the people across the road. And
because of that, I transferred that particular piece of property to Old
Town Associates, because of the hardship involved. The claiming of the
right of way would interdict one of the lots. Not only that, but it would
interdict the entire parcel. Consequently, I isolated the right of way in
the fifth lot belonging to me, and I transferred it to Old Town Associates
also belonging to me -- a closely held corporation. Now this fifth lot en-
compasses the right of way, and consequently is not part of the minor sub--
division, which is why I did it. 'I wanted to get it ou~ of the minor sub--
division so that it would not become a factor in your determination. As I
state now, it is not a factor in your determination, if you will grant me
the four lots as indicated and as amended on June !6, 1992. Originally
mapped M~y 5, 1987. I've done this in order to eliminate the right of ~ay

and the objections thereto, from any consideration by this Board, since it
would be outside of the minor subdivision. Did I clear up any points that
may be cloudyhere?
Mr. 0rlowski: Does the Board have any questions?
Valerie Scopaz: I have just one question. You raise an interesting point.
You said that the westernmost lot was a right of way, does that encompass
all of the property?
Mr. Bitses: No. It encompasses the 50 feet along the edge, but bygiving
each of these lOts 200 feet across the front and keeping 200 feet for this
last piece, there were originally five pieces, I end up with one piece, and
I end up with the problem of the right of %~y, and a minor subdivision is
clear of that problem, and as a result it should not be considered by the
Board as an objection to the minor subdivision, since it doesn't fall on
the minor subdivision. Now you understand the rationale behind my making
a corporation out of that extra piece of property.
Mr. 0rlowski: How did you subdivide that extra piece of property?
Mr. Bitses: Oh, I just made a deed. I. did that for legal purposes, so that
if they attacked anything, they could only attack the corporation. I knew
that it's not a legal lot, because you fella's are the ones who say what's
legal and what isn't. However, itvery neatly slices off'the problem, puts
it in the corporation which I am a closely holder of, and eliminates it from
consideration for this minor subdivision. Now I therefore respectfully re--
quest that the objections, although, these people who raise the objections
have a right to do so, it's beside the point. It's immaterial, since the
objection has nothing to do with the minor subdivision.
Mr. 0rlowski: OK, our attorney has a question.
Mr. Arnoff: Mr. Bitses, how do you propose to ensure that the taxes are
paid on the right of ~ay, and the right of way continues to exist? If in
fact, if you have a dominant tenement, which would be through loss.
Mr. Bitses: (inaudible) is across the street.
Mr. Arnoff: OK, but I'm saying you're the survient (?) tenement correct?
And you have a right of way going across it.
Mr. Bitses: A right of way only in one (inaudible) spot.
Mr. Arnoff: OK. But it's still part of it, and the person who owns that
survient tenement pays the taxes on it, correct?
Mr. Bitses: That's right.
Mr. Arnoff: Now, if in fact you isolate that right ofway, and that right
of way just lost the taxes, %~hat happens to the right of way?

Mr. ArIloff:
That's what I'm concerned about, that 50 foot ribbon.
It doesn't give them the right to go anywhere else on the
I agree. I'm merely saying that the 50 foot piece of property
is ultimately lost. Unpaid taxes.
Mr. Bitses: But it's not part of f~e minor subdivision.
Mr. Arnoff: It's only separated byvirtue of the deed without approval of
the Planning Board, correct?
Everyone talking.
Mr. Arnoff: But you %~ould agree that if it ~as o~ned and ~as part of that
one lot as it had originally been (inaudible) would never happen because
you'd have to move the entire lot (inaudible).
Mr. Bitses: Well, there's an entire lot to be (inaudible Here, let me
show you the map.
Mr. Arnoff: No, no, no...
Mr. Bitses: I think you're missing a point here.
Mr. Arnoff: The property that's owned by the corporation is merely the
right of way, is that correct?
Melissa Spiro: No, no
Mr. Bitses: It's an entire lot.
Mr. Arnoff: And a right of way?
Southold Town Planning Board 5 November 2, 1992
Nelissa Spiro: Yes.
Mr. Bitses: That's right. The right of ~ay occupies...
Melissa Spiro: The access to it is the right of way.
Mr. Bitses: The right of ~ay occupies the easterly ribbon. Here's that
fifth piece that still belongs to me. These four pieces...This is the
minor subdivision. I did that to move the minor subdivision off of the
right of way, so that there's no controversy. Tee right of way now con--
tinges on this lot, which belongs to the closely held corporation, which
is not part of a ba~ (inaudible).
Everyone talking.
Mr. Orlowski: Anyone else? Right now I'm up t~ anyone in favor.
Elizabeth Schloss: I just wanted to ask a question as to whether or not
this site that's listed here is 11.3 acres is actually divided into lots
at this point. One acre lots or two acre lots?
Mr. Bitses: Bigger than 2 acres.
Mr. Orlowski: The total subdivision, each lot is larger than 2 acres.
Elizabeth Schloss: It is?
Mr. 0rlowski: Yes.
Mr. Bitses: 2.6, 2.5, 3.1, 3.6.
Elizabeth Schloss: On the new plan?
Melissa Spiro: That's the one you have the copy of.
Mr. Bitses: You see, the right of ~y is off to the side of the subdivision.
Ms. Schloss: Yes, I know.
Everyone talking.
Mr. Bitses: They have a legitimate grievance, but it doesn't apply to this
minor subdivision. Anything else?
Mr. Orlowski: Any other questions? I'll ask if there's anyone else out
there in favor of this subdivision? Hearing none, is there anyone out
there, neither pro nor con, but would have information pertaining to this
subdivision~ that would ~ of interest to the Board? Any questions from
%he Board? Mr. Lath~m?

Mr.-Orlowski: Moving on to the next order of business. David S. and
~lizabeth T. Branch - This minor subdivision is for two lots on 3.676
acres lOCated on the northwest corner of Eugene's Road and Skmulk Lane
in Cutchogue. SCTM~ 1000-97-3-17 & ].8.2. 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?
He~ring none, are there any endorsements of this subdivision?
Richard Lark: From Cutcho~ue. I represent the applicant. I think we've
complied with everything the Board has requested, except wit~ the one item
which I asked the Board in it's final determination in granting approval, if
they would grant a ~aiver. And that's a request for a v~riance for your
regulations of 106-50 for the payment of the $2000.00 fee for the so called
vacant lot, under your rules ]06-~8 paragraph E , so substantial justice
can be done.
Southold Town Planning Board 7
November 2, !992
The property is zoned R--40 and contains a total of 3.6 acres, which you
could get easily, even with excluding a road%ray inside 3 lots. But the
applica//t has asked for only two. Further, the property is existing in
two lots right now, so we're really not creating a third lot. I think
that's important. It was at my request when the applicant came to me and
wanted to get their property straightened out so there wouldn't be a problem,
that I made the application for which you have the basic layout. Here's the
existing tax map and I've colored the two existing lots which conform to
your zoning map of R-40. The tax bills are two different tax bills for the
two different lots. One's assessed as a vacant, one's assessed with the
house on it. Instead of having a north/south orientation, which made it
awkward for everybody, I made it basically and east/west orientation, which
you have in ibm subdivision. So, keeping those things in mind, plus the
applicant, to date, has paid i3700.00 for the privilege of changing her lot
line, ~2000.00 for a Planning Board fee, an environmental fee of $400.00,
the surveyors have charged her ~,050.00 because of some of the revisions
that the Board requested, which were reasonable, and then the Health Dept.,
the test hole, and their fee which was $100.00 for the test hole and $150.00
for their application fee under Article 6.
So, considering that, it has become somewhat of a hardship for the applicant
and I think the To~n has gotten the benefit out of this because, no doubt,
you'll have a restriction in there, which will be agreed to in advance, for
no future subdivision of this property, which it should be, and we end up
now with two lots which are properly laid out, rather than the two lots as
they had purchased them, which would have made for an awkward layout, be--
cause it would have put a house in the back yard of people, which didn't
make any sense. So, that's why the request for the application and I
respectfully move that you approve the final subdivision and grant my
request for a waiver of the $2000.00 Pa~f & Playground fee.
Mr. Ward: I don't believe that a waiver will be necessary.
Mr. Lark: Your planning staff required it, and when it came to my
attention, ~ said, "Oh my God, the regulations say that"...
Mr. Ward: The regulations say it, but you're not creating it separate.
Mr. Lark: No, we're not, that's what I'm really asking, and pointing that
out. OK.
Mr. Orlowski: So, you're free there.
Mr. Lark: Hopefully.
Mr. Orlowski: Any other endorsements of this subdivision? Hearing none
out there neither pro nor con, but having information pertaining to this
subdivision that would be of interest to the Board? Any questions from
the Board --Mr. Latham?
Mr. Latham: No.
