Griswald-Terry-Glover- Board to make reco~u~endation to the
Town Board on this change of zone for the American Legion Hall.
What is the pleasure of the Board?
Mr. Ward: Mr. Chairman, with the discussions that we have had, I
would like to move with the consensus is. Is that we recommend
denial of the change of zone based on the fact that the long
range goals would not be served by such a change of zone. In
that it is not the change of zone that will be in conformance
with our proposed master plan. It would be a commercial zone
that would intrude into a more natural zoning progression out
from the center of our hamlet. Although the
Griswold-Terry-Glover is an ongoing organization and does render
a great service to the Town that we feel that the long range
will best he served by not creating a change of zone at this
time. So, I move that we recommend denial.
Mr. Mullen: Second.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the
motion? All those in favor?
Vote of the Board; Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Latham, Ward, Edwards.
Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? So ordered.

Mr. Bruer: Can I ask the Board a question? Everybody is aware of
the structure that exists there. Does anybody have any
suggestions if it was stop being used as an American Legion Post
what that building could be used for? In terms of your long
anticipation of the future growth of that ~particular spot. You
must have some thought on it.
Mr. Mullen: I don't think it is our position to tell what is
going to come in the future.
Mr. Bruer: I know, but, you must have some category of what that
building could be used for. It is a monstrosity other than being
used as a Legion Post.
Mr. Mullen: We will turn it over to a likable situation, that's
all.
Planning Board Page 15 April 11, 1988
Mr. Bruer: To a likable situation? It's not transferable, I
don't think.
Mr. Mullen: VFW.
Mr. Bruer: I don't think we have a visible VFW in town now.
Mr. Mullen: Some other nonprofit organization.
Mr. Bruer: To buy it and use it.
Mr. Mullen: That's right.
Mr. Bruer: Thank you very much.
Mr. Orlowski: Next we have Carr-Wanat change of zone
application. Do you have some comments on this, Ms. Scopaz.
Ms. Scopaz: Basically the applicant met with the Town Board at a
Scoping session. I represented the Planning Board at this
meeting. The Town Board has taken Lead Agency statuson the
change of zone and has asked for a environmental impact
statement to be prepared. We have had some questions about the
coordination with the Planning Board because the Planning Board
has lead agency on the Norris Estates subdivision proposal. The
applicant is proposing to use the Carr/Wanat change of zone as
alternative to placing the code density on the Norris property.
What was agreed to at the scoping session was that the Planning
Board would retain its lead agency status. In the draft
environmental impact state when it is prepared, it has not been
submitted to the Planning Board yet, the alternative section
will include, among other alternatives, a very detailed
description of the Carr/Wanat property as an alternative.
Basically the To~ Board will wait for the Planning Board's
review of the draft environmental impact statement for the
Norris property before proceeding with the change of zone
application. That is basically what was agreed to.
Mr. Orlowski: We won't hold any determinations at this time.
Ms. Scopaz: The question is, that one of the alternatives will
include the Carr/Wanat property. That is basically the agreement
that was reached there. I think theBoard could convey to the
applicant that it understands that and that that is the nature
of the coordination between the two lead agencies. That you are
going to do the review as a subdivision and make, forward your
comments to the Town Board after you have completed your review
of the draft environmental impact statement. So you still have
review over the subdivision procedure.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. Does the Board have any coLmuent to make on
this right now.
Board: No.
Mr. Orlowski: No comment.
~ Planning Board Page 16 April 11, 1988
Mr. Raynor: I just want to amend something that Ms. Scopaz has
stated. The Wanat property is to be used as an alternative to the
project and this was admitted by Mr. Emilita, not by the
applicant. It was the Town's suggestion to proceed under this
set of restrictions. I will just like that to go into the record
so we know were it came from initially. We are in agreement with
proceeding. We will file with you a draft environmental impact
statement. At that time there will enough information, so the
Board can proceed With their recommendations to the Town Board
on the change of zone.
Mr. Orlowski: Will there be any more information coming from the
County in regards to water? Other than the fact that, yes, there
is water there.
Mr. Ralrnor: We have included in the draft environmental impact
statement all the testing done by H2M as well as the furnishings
that report through the Health Department to the Board in
regards to two test sites that were done in this present winter.
Also this Board will be given the water distribution system as
well as sewage treatment plant with regard to onsite containment
with regardto the intial application on multiple cells.
Mr. Orlowski: And you will have Health Department approval on
that?
Mr. Raynor: I can't answer that questions because at this
junction the final engineering designs with regard to water and
sewer plants has not been completed and the final submission has
not been given to the Department of Health Services.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K.
Mr. Raynor: This will be compacted within the next month and be
sent.
Mr. Orlowski: Alright.
Mr. Raynor: Mr. Chairman, I should state that applicant is
desirous of knowing in writing where the Board's position is as
to whether they agree to what Mr. Emilita has stated as far as
an alternative to this DEIS. I have spoken to Ms. Scopaz
concerning this. The applicant is a~out to, again, spend a
number of ten of thousands of dollars to finishthe compliance.
And is looking for some recognition that it is a viable
alternative to study both these properties in a parallel type
action. Some indication from your Board will be greatly
appreciated. We don't want to whistle in the dark.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, we don't want to make any suggestions in the
dark and get your hopes up. We would like to see if density at
the Norris property is what you say it is. To do that you have
to show us if you can provide sewer and water. And so far we
have not been satisfactorily provided with that.
Mr. Raynor: I guess our question to you is if we could answer
those sewer and water questions, is it a viable alternative to
Planning Board Page 17 April 11, 1988
proceed with the two sites that has been suggested to us by the
Town.
Mr. Orlowski: Does the Board have any comment at this point in
time?
Mr. Mullen: I concur with your statement, I would like to see
the sewer and water situation.
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Ralrnor is also asking, if they do provide the
sewer and water, will this alternative be suitable to this Board
at this point.
Mr. Mullen: I would have to give it consideration at that time.
Mr. Ward: I see where the applicant is headed. I think that we
should get back to you on that.
Mr. Ralrnor: Alright, because if it is not a viable alternative,
quite honestly it is a very ...hardship to proceed and not to
follow as the zoning exist on this piece of property.
Mr. Orlowski: It's a good question.
Mr. Ra~or: Thank you. Thank you for your consideration.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. The Board will be making field inspection on
Long Pond Estates Section 1 and also on Franklynville. We will
probably do it this Friday.
Discussions: Ore,on Heights-Board to accept the Letter of
Credit. What is the pleasure of the Board? For recommendations
to the Town Board to accept this.
Mr. Ward: Is there an expiration date on that one?
Mr. Mullen: I want to call your attention to the fact that the
note states, and I quote "Must be presented on or before no
later then March 1, 1989". So it is not an open end situation.
It does have an expiration. We have marked our files accordingly.
Mr. Orlowski: What is the pleasure.
Mr. Mullen: Acceptance.
Mr. Latham: Second it.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the
motion? All those in favor?
Vote of the Board; Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Latham, Ward, Edwards.
Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? So ordered.
Mr. Orlowski: Next we have Daniel Jacoby- Board to discuss
this application with the applicant.
Planning Board Page 18 April 11, 1988
Mr. Ehlers: Good Evening, my name is Richard Ehlers, law offices
at the corner of Lincoln and Griffing Avenue in Riverhead. May I
hand out the exhibit for the Board's consideration? Calculation
of the tax map and the surrounding parcels. Mr. Jacoby is the
owner of a 10 plus or minus acre parcel, which appears on your
map as lot number five off Laurel Lake. That is at the end of
the Horton Subdivision. What causes Mr. Jacoby to be before your
Board, is that in 1986 Mr. Jacoby and Mr. Horton came before
your Board for a minor subdivision on his greenhouse property.
Mr. Jacoby had a right-of-way over the Horton property which was
not in a location that this Board felt that the permanent
right-of-way should be to Mr. Jacoby's property. After lengthy
discussions between myself and Gail Wickham on behalf of the
Horton's, it was agreed that the right-of-way that Jacoby had be
moved and certain parcels of land would be transferred to
straighten out a boundary line dispute between the two parties.
The Jacoby house is part of the old Camp Maloy structures that
were there many years ago. The house is basically small, cramped
and not very comfortable. Mr. Jacoby is an older man, retired
and his wife frankly has said if you don't get me a better
house to live in I am not going to come out here any more. As a
result of the negotiations with the Hortons the question came up
what can we do if anything to put a better residence on this
site? Originally we were going to come in for a set off, but it
was my advice to them since they were concurring the fees of the
survey and the appearances to the Board that they go for a minor
subdivision because the are elderly people and that will assist
them with their estate plan. Your Board has made a field
inspection and as a result recommended that the right-of-way be
continued through the property to the southerly side of the
Jacobyproperty. And it is that question that I put before your
Board. In the Horton agreement which I believe that was reviewed
by the Town Attorney and approved by your Board, although I
don't have any proof of that, it specifically states that we may
not give access to the lots to the south of us over the
right-of-way that we have previously enjoyed. So the amended
right-of-way as approved by your Board limited our ~hility to
give any access to the Hortons to the' south. Secondly, I drove
down therethis evening and the Hortons yet to develop the
right-of-way in any way. It is still a dirt road. I have a pick
UP truck. It was a fairly bumpy road to the Jacoby house.
Evidently the Hortons have been able to build houses down there,
without benefit of improving the driveway. The Jacoby's are not
desirous in having this become a north-south thoroughfare. I
don't think your Board wants to turn the meandering lane near
the lake into a north south road at that location. It is hilly
and bumpy and .it curves a lot. So we would like you to rescind
your earlier reco~m~,endation that requests the right-of-way
through the property and the building of the cul-de-sac at the
southerly end of the property. That is basically my purpose of
being here to try and have some dialogue with the Board on the
advisability on that cul-de-sac. Then to hopefully to submit
such further map as you direct us to submit.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, our concern is with the property to the
south and what is going to happen with it some day.
Planning Board Page 19 April 11, 1988
Mr. Ehlers: Respectfully, the property to the south has quite
large access on State Road 25. It would seem to not be the most
logical position to bring the traffic way down from Sound Avenue
and possible impact the lake front with passerbys and
unnecessary traffic. When the parcel to the south appears to
have seven hundred odd feet of road frontage on State Route 25
and fully capable of supporting its own road access.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, this will also act as a second ingress and
egress to that parcel. What is the Board's co~m~ent on this?
Mr. Ward: That was our main concern was that there was no other
way in and out of that. As if and when the Horton parcel is
developed with more houses we really have pretty much a long
dead end roadway.
Mr. Ehlers: Maybe my client misunderstood the Horton
application. He understood that that was the end of the Horton
development. Is there a different subdivision pending before
this Board with Horton?
Mr. Orlowski: We don't know which one is pending with Horton
right now. What we are concerned with now is just your
application and when we are going to put the right-of-way and
where we are going to let it extend to.
Mr. Ehlers: The Horton right-of-way moved the right-of-way to
the west. The Jacoby property has a dell, I guess you would call
it, in that area. It doesn't seem to be the best place to build
an extensive road just on the whim that something may happen in
the future, so that is another argument we have against it. We
would really hate to see a major north south road. You have old
Aldrich's lane just to the west there which the Town can choose
to approve as it desires.
Mr. Ortowski:Any chance of getting that proposed? Ingress
staked, so the Board can take a look at exactly where it comes
from.
Mr. Ehlers: That will be something we can do.
Mr. Orlowski: What do you think?
Mr. Ward: We could take another look at it.
Mr. Ehlers: Would like us to stake were Horton's properties
easement has relocated to the Right-of-Way entrance to the
Jacoby parcel.
Mr. Orlowski: Yes, and on your survey. I think we have a
discrepancy just looking at it from the field. We can't really
tell. It will give us a better idea to see how it lines up.
Mr. Ehlers: How should I arrange that?
Mr. Orlowski: As soon as it is staked give us a call and we will
take a look at it.
Planning Board Page 20 April 11, 1988
Mr. Ehlers: O.K. Thank you very much.
Mr. Orlowski: Seeing that I have nothing further on my agenda, I
I will ask if there are any questions from the Board, Mr. Mullen?
Mr. Mullen: None.
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Latham?
Mr. Latham: No questions.
Mr. Orlowski: Mr- Ward?
Mr. Ward: No questions, other then the fact that, are we going
to meet with Mr. Bruer?
Mr. Orlowski: When we close. Mr. Edwards?
Mr. Edwards: Just that to say that Tom Doherty, from Walsh Park
Affordable Housing project, that he is over tonight if the Board
members want to talk to him after the meeting.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. Ms. Scopaz?
Ms. Scopaz: No.
Mr. Orlowski: Being no further questions, I will entertain the
motion.
Mr. Latham: So moved.
Mr. Ward: Second.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the
motion? All those in favor?
