The proposal is for two lots, both in conformance with subdivision regulations. The Board has requested a fifty (50) foot buffer along Middle Road for screening purposes. Vehicular accesswill be restricted from Middle Ro~8, and a common driveway will be located on WickhamAvenue. Because there has been no correspondence received from the Department of Health Services in the allotted ~ime.,. it is assumed that there are no comments or objections from that agency.

Board to review the revised bond estimate dated June 30, 1989. Board to set Monday, August 14, 1989 at 7:45 p.m. for a public SOUTHOLD TOWN PLf~NNING BOARD 6 J~JLY 10t 1989 hearing on the question of final approval. This major subdivision is on 44.376 acres located at Southold. SCTM $1000-5i-2-2. Mr. Ward: Mr. Chairman, on addressing the Suffolk County Planning Commission report, i offer a motion to override report and address it by attaching to it the m~morandum from Sidney Bowne's office regarding the responses to their specific questions, rather than read thmm all now we can identify th~m in that report. Also, I think the Planning Boards request of the applicant, that lots six through nine, which are in the area of high ground water that there be a notation put on the final plan to that degree~ ~hat these lots would act~'~alty encounter possible construction problems regarding septic tanks and regarding placement of fouDd~tions and bas~ments becaume groundwater is very high in that area. Also, we would want to address a town easement for access and maintenance for the entire open space because it is primarily a drainage area. We would like to see an easement in favor of the Town for drainage purposes. Just a comment to the developer in a sense that we realize that this subdivision has been around for a long time amd that if we had had in place the current master Plan update we could have clustered to 30,000 square foot lots and it could have allowed us to stay out of that gro~nd water problem in the lower area of the site. We could have put all the lots on the high ground and not been in this problem. It is still an option to the applicant, although t realize that he has gone to the extent of doing the mapping. But if those fo. ur lots are a major problem to him, it is possible that the redesign that is involved to create the other four lots into ~0,000 square foot may beworth it to him to eliminate the groundwater problems that he may face on those. It's a long resolution. Mr. Latham: Second. Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the motion? All those in favor. Ayes: Mr. Latham, Mr. Ward, Mr. Mullen, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Orlowski. Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? So ordered. Mr. Orlowski: In regards to the bond estimate being revised from $403,000 to $442,000. What is the pleasure of the board? Mr. Mu!ien: Mr. Chairman, I recommend however, that this letter of credit be issued for a minimum of one year. Mr. Orlowski: Can the letter of credit be for a minimum of one year? SOUTHOLD TO,tN PLA~NING BOARD 7 JULY !0, 1989 Mr. Neil Rego: The one that was submitted and accepted? Mr. Orlowski: Yes, you'll have to extend it by $39,000. It is being revised from $403,000 to $442,000. Mr. Neil Rego: t submitted that. Mr. Orlowski: O.K., I have a motion made and seconded. Any ~destions on the motion? All those in favor? Ayes: Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Orlowski, Mr. Mul!en, Mr. Ward. Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? So ordered. Mr. Orlowski: Board to set the final hearing on August 14th, 1989 at 7:45 p.m. Mr. Edwards: So moved. M.r. Ward: Second. Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the motion?

Mr. Orlowski: ~lijah's L~e Affordable Ho~i/%q and Town of Southold at Soundview - Board to review the covenant for these two subdivisions. Elijah's Lane Affordable Housing is a minor subdivision on 2.867 acres located at Mattituck. SCiX~ ~1000-108-4-7.21 Town of Southold at Soundview is a major subdivision on 5.83 acres located at Southold SCTF~ ~I000-59-9-10. Mur. Oriowski: Elijah's Lane Affordable Housinq - Board to review the Suffolk County Planning Con~ission report dated June 22, 1989. This affordable housing minor subdivision is on !.867 acres located at Mattituck. SCTM ~t000-108-3-7.2. Mr. Orlowski: To explain all this, a covenant has been submitted by the Town stating ~hat the Town is willing to covenant that lot ~4 on the map of Town of Southold at Soundview will not be built upon and will always remain as open space. This, in effect, traosfers the development right to the Rachael's Road site (Eli3ah's Lane - Town owned property). The Department of Health Services granted the request for a variance for the 4 lot development on Elijah's Lane - Town owned EOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNiNG BOARD 8 JULY I0, 1989 proper~y, provided that lot ~4 of the map of the Town of Southold at Soundview is covenanted that it will always remain as open space. This transfer of a development right brings the proposal into conformance with Health Department density standar~. Based upon the above covenant, I'd like to make a motion to override the Suffolk County Planning C~£~ission report dated April 9~ 1989, which disapproved Elijah's Lane - Town Owned Proper~y for the following reasons: The proposed density for the site is too great. Lots should have a minimum lot area of 40,000 square feet in accordance with Suffolk County Department of Health Services reguirements. Mr. Ward: Second. Mr. Or~owski: Motion made and seconded.

Mr. Orlowski: In regard to the site plan~ everything was signed way back when, everything was in order to confoim to the site plan. We did note that a railing was not in place. We would like to see it there and I have talked to the Building Inspector and he will follow up on that since it is in the New York State Building Code, we believe. Mr. Mullen: I suggest, Mr. Chairman, that we request the Building Department tO advise us when the railing has been put into position. Mr. Orlowski: O.K.~ in the meantime if everything is in conformance with the site plan as signed back in 1982. Mr. Ward: Our approval could be subject to State Building Code requirements for site railings. I'll move that. Mr. Mu!len: Second. SOUTH.

The only thing t do question here, and I was not at the last code meeting, I don't think ~he board has any problem with it but we have to make sure t.hat they are attached to wineries. They are not allowed to just be built in any district without being attached to vineyards. Mr. Latham: I was at the meeting and it was my understanding that that was going to be and also I spoke to one of the councilwoman and it was her understanding that it meant the s~me thing. ~e way it is written here is not correct to me. Mr. Ward: Is there a minimum acreage discussed? Mr. Orlowski: Well, five acres attached to the winery and a minimum of ten acres within service of the winery. The total acreage would be ten. Mr. Ward: Why don't we address our resolution to the Town Board. i don't think the district is as important as the fact that it should be associated with a winery. We don't want, not picking on Feather Hill but we wouldn't want to see a winery open up in Feather Hill, that is not the intent. Mr. Orlowski: No, it is to be with a vineyard. O.K., we~!l send those co~n~nts over. Is that a motion? Do I have a second. Mr. Mu!!en: Second. Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Do I have any questions on the motion? All those in lavor?

Planning Board: No questions. Mr. Orlowski: Being there are no further questions, i will declare this hearing close<t. Mr. Bob Jo.hnson: I never got an answer Mr. Or!owski: I was in contact with the secretary to the board and I told him i wanted to meet with him because they won't give us an answer either. They are the ones that are suppose to send over some type of comment. If you can't produce that water, then you can't. Mr. Johnson: I'm 99.% sure it's impossible. Mr. Orlowski: I would like to find it so I could make some kind of comment on it, that they could unders~nd that. I can't get an answer from them and about a week and a half ago I was in contact with the secretary to try and meet with them just to find out what is going on and I haven't received any word yet. Mr. Johnson: Was that Don Sayre? Mr. Ortowski: Fred Weber, the secretary. I told him to please just answer the question if he c~n't produce the 350 gallons that you want, what does he do? Mr. Johnson: I can'-t waste $I0,000 trying to do it and then they say it doesn't produce 350 gallons and then what do we do now. E©UTHOLD TOWN PLAIgT~ING BO~_RD 12 J~f 10p 1989 Mr. Orlowski: Well~ I set up a meeting with him. I'll call again~ If you know anybody over there that can speed things up have them get a hold of us. We had the hearing tonight so maybe by the next meeting we'll wind this up. We have to have an answer from them and also we need the other road specs. Mr. Job_nson: Before I do any more maps I would like to k_now about the firewell and how much the bond is. .Mr. Or!owski: If you're worried about the firewe!l, have the fire district get a hold of me because there is no answer yet. Mr. Johnson: What do we do to get an answer? Mr. Orlowski: I've called them up and tried' to meet with the board personally, because there are other ~stion~ they had on other s,&bdivisions and that was a week and a half ago and I told them I would meet them any time, any place. If you know anybody on the board that cnn get a hold of me just have them call. When it comes to fire protection, we let the fire co~m~,issioners handle it. Mr. Johnson: I think the buck is being p~sed. I ask you and you say it's their job. I ask Don Sayre and a couple of other guys and they say it's the town. We're not getting anywhere. Mr. Orlowski: It's written in the code. Mr. Latham: Send them another letter and then call them and follow it up~ Mr. Johnson: You've got to speak to Weber. Mr. Ortowski: I spoke to Weber because he. is the secretary to the board and I was talking to him but the board is the one that has got to make the decision. Have him get.a hold of us~ I told them I would ~o do~n there tomorrow afternoon you know. I can't be anymore accommodating to straighten this out. Mr. Mullen: Why don't we direct a letter to every commissioner on that board, personally and request a response. They don't like it in writing, I can guarantee you that. Mr. Orlowski: You see what would b~ppen if we said O.K., then at the next Con~issioner's Meeting they have a district's meeting, they call me up and they put me on the seat in the middle of everybody and they say "what authnrity do you have to say that?". I don't want to go there anpmore, I would rather work with the board and let them be the one on the hot seat. That is the way way we've been doing it and it is our policy and now all of a sudden they run into a situation~where it may be impossible to meet their specifications so what do we do about fire protection? You want an answer on th~t~ are they going to ~OUTHOLD TOWN P~tNG BOAP~D 13 ~Tv~-~ !0, 1989 make the answer~ I'm not going to sit here and say O.K. we wouldn't do it because the next time I get called up and I get yelled at by every district, not just one. Mr. Mul!en: I think we should consider sitting down with_ every fire district face to face and straighten this thing out. This is a ve~, very, very serious situation and t don't know whether they are so busy they can't address themselves to it but, I think it is about time we put them on notice not only personally but in writing. God forbid it something happens then it won't be our problem or the town's problem but their's. They're the guys~that are on the line to protect people's lives and I think we should help them realize how important this is. Mr. Or!owski: I'll try to get a hold of them as soon a ! can. Ward: What capacity did yom get out of it? Mr. Johnson: You've got 90 feet of clay and when you get through that with a forged pipe you hit a strata of sand which is about 5 or I0 feet and you're lucky if you cnn produce !5 gallons a minute. Not 350 gallons. There are several wells right around there and they all produce the same thing. I don't want to drag this out for another year~ this has been going on two years already. Mr. Orlowski: We'll send a letter to the fire district and I will call them tomorrow. Mr. Johnson: Give me a list of their names and I~ll harass them.. Mr. Orlowski: Well~ Don Sayre is on the board so you can harass him. We've been slapped on the wrist as far as subdivisions and site plans and we want to work with the fire district. It appears now, they don't want to give us aD_ answer but I'll find out why. All I can tell you is I'll try to have an answer as soon as possible. Mr. Mullen: I suggest when we write to the commissioners that we send a copy of the letter to the applicant. Mr. Johnson: Can we put a time limit on th~s because it seems like it's gone on forever. Mr. Orlowski: Well you just went through final hearing now all you've got to do is - -. M~. Jo~hnson: I asked the guestion about this firewe!l s~x Weeks ago. Mr. Orlowski: Believe me, I called up for a me~ing ~ght after I talked to you and I don't tb~nk I can give you any better service than that. I made myself available at any time. SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD 14 JULY !0, 1989 Mr. Johnson: Don't they have some lime !Lmit that requires an answer? Mr. Orlowski: No they don't. It m Ly not be a bad idea but right now there isn,t. Mr. Mullen: I still say Mr. Chair~uLn, to get a representative from every fire department~ lock the door and tell them the facts of life and I will be very h~ppy to tell them, I'm very much concerned. Mr. Orlowski: I met with all of thc policy came from because they reque~ subdivisions and all the site plans fire protection and they are suppos~ fashion. Sometimes they don't. I it. Mr. Johnson: There is no point in and finding it doesn't work. Mr. Orlowski: You're absolutely ri Mr. Johnson: O.K., I'll start with you.

He is asking for a Certificate of Occupancy for lot number three which a house has been built on, building permits issued, and that is all he is SOUTHOI~ TOWN PLANNING BOARD 15 JULY 1O~ 1989 requesting now. All the work will be done beca~,~e the length of the planting season where it is not really until ~he fall, we respectfully request that you issue the Certificate of Occupancy for lot number three. Mr. Latham: It was a perfect spring to put trees in. Mr. Masterson: Yes sir, I understand that but we didn't get the punch list until June 12th. Mr. Latham: If you had put them in yesterday it would have been pretty good. Mr. Masterson: Today would have been better. Mr. Or!owski: You've got them working out there rigb~ now, you say? Mr. Masterson: Not now. You do have a bond for a quarter of a million dollars and the reco~m,~ndation from the Highway Superintendent. Ninety-nine percent of the work has been completed. Mr. Latham: You said there was a letter of July? Mr. Masterson: July the 6th. It's a letter to Mr. Orlowski from Ray Jacobs saying "I inspected the water valve castings on Homestead Acres on July the 5th, 1989 the problem-has been corrected and acceptable. There is a copy to myself and Mr. Neil Heffen who's Sidney Bowne's office. Mr. Orlowski: What's the pleasure of the board? Mr. Ward: Is planting the only thing that is missing? Mr. Mullen: ~e prefer seeing the complete compliance with all the recommendations of our engineer. Mr. Masterson: We have all intentions of doing that. There is a quarter of a million dollar bond to back it up that it's going to bedone. Mr. Mullen: A bond is as good as the paper it is written on and very often it isn't worth very much. I can tell you from profesSional experience. I would prefer seeing.compliance. This was done on the 12th of June. ! assume quite a bit of these situations have be~n resolved. Mr. Masterson: Yes sir they have. Mr. ~lllen: To what extent have they not been cu~L~plied to. Mr. Masterson: It has not been resolved and I ~sume you are referring to the letter of June the !2th. Slope and SOUT~OLD TOWN PL~/~NING BOARD 16 ~JLY 10~ 1989 stabilize b~nk~ planting of trees as required. The dead tree at the south end will be done by the end of the week. This is Mr. Panchek, he is the vice president of our company. Mr. Mullen: Sir, we're looking at two situations. Mr. Panchek: Yes sir. Being that it is out of the planting season, and with ninety-nine percent of the work is completed, I don't think we are being unfair to ask for one Certificate of Occupancy. We're not asking for final approval until all the work is done. We're just looking for the one C.O~ for lot number three. Mr. Masterson: Also these traffic control signs and street signs which are on order through the Highway Department which we don't have yet to install.
