SCTM ~1000-95-4-4.1. We do not have the amenSedmaps at this
time. Is there anyone here representing the applicant?
Planning Board 3 October 3!, 1988
Mr. Cuddy: Charles Cuddy for the applicant. The amended maps
probably won't be ready for a$other seven to ten days.
Unfortunately, the mail has not helped us. It took over a week
to go about eight miles. The ~pplic~nt b~ no problem with
re-lining the subdivision map according to theBoards director~.
We will change the road and p~t in the lots as indicated. I
would ask that be sed upon excepting that co~tion, ghat the
Board give us preliminary approval and we will submit the map in
accordance withyour request.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. What is th~ pleasure of the Board?
Mr Ward: I think we should w~it for the maps.
Mr. Orlowski: The Board is gozng to wait until we have the
preliminary maps with the cha~ges in our bands before we do any
approvats~
Person from audience: Can you tell us what the changes are?
5~. Orlowski: We are bringing the road out from Atvah's ¥.~ne and
not from Oregon Road. It will be running through Oregon Estates.
Person form audience: That do~s not make sense.
Mr. Cuddy: I .will bring the maps to you as soon as they are
completed. I would ask that trey be turned over.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, we would ~ave too
Person from audience: Are there any maps that you can show us at
all?
Mr. Orlowski: No.
Person from audience: Where
out?
Mr. Orlowski: Right through
own on Alvah's Lane.
Person from audience: And it
the development?
Alvah's Lane is the road coming
e middleof the property that they
.s still going to run down through
Mr. Orlowski: Yes.
Person from audience: No, why
Mr. Orlowski: There is still going to be a final hearing on the
final map.
Person from audience: Will it be a hearing that we can come to?
Mr. Orlowski: Yes. So you will still have time to make co~m.ents.
Planning Board 4 October 31, 1988
Person in Audience: I live in Oregon View Estates and I was not
able to attend the last meeting. I had gone down that day and
asked the woman about it. She told me that one of the reason why
you are putting a road to come out in Oregon View, is that if.a
cul-de-sac is more then eight hundred feet you have to have two
entrances or egresses, is that right?
Mr. Orlowski: Right.
Person in Audience: A!right~ there iS currently a couple of
developments being put on the dual highway in Peconic that ~re
definitely more then eight hundred feet long with malf0e three or
four houses on it. There is one by Pebble Beach that goes all
the way to the So~nd. There is a couple out in Orient b~ Browns
Hill Road that go all the way out to the Sound. None of these
have more then one egress. They exit onto County Road 25. Now if
this is the case why not let them exit onto a Southold Town Road
that is in existence rather then enter into a development that
is very set in our ways. Where the kids can go run around on the
streets with out having to fear of a lot of traific an~ trucks
going through. I wish the Board will take this into
consideration. ! think I can speak for a lot of the people in
there. I have only been there about five, six months. I wish the
Board will consider this very much. It is one of the reasons why
alot of the people have moved into that area. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Oregon View, I believe is a Town Road. The Town
Maintains it. When these subdivisions are,.p~t,t~gether, you will
notice that where we do go over eight hundred feet we do put
these dead end spurs to connect to the adjoinin~ properties that
will be subdivided in the future° In this case we have a spur in
Oregon View. With this property being developed the Board feels
that i~ is time to connect it. Coming out to Alvah's Lane, I
think anybody living in this development would be more
advantageous to come out on Alvah's Lane then to go down Oregon
Estates. Most of the lots are going to be right there.
Person from audience: Will the road be even with Gold Spur Road?
Not a road that is further to the north. People .heading down
town are not going to go north to go south. If the road at the
south end of that development coming down onto Alvah's Lane, no
problem. That is a piece of cake. Everybod~ coming would be
heading south, heading to the Main Road to the other roads will
sweep down. Instead of sweeping into our development, sweep it
the other way out to Alvah's Lane. There is no problem, nobody
would argue that at all. We are all for the development.
Mr. Orlowski: Lets wait until the applicant brings the maps in
as directed by the Planning Board and they will be available for
your review. There ~ill also be a final hearing at time.
Person from audience: Will it be in the paper?
Mr. Orlowski: Yes. Thank you.
Planning Board 5 October '31, 1988
Person from Audience: Can I ask why tonight's meeting was not
publicized?
Mr. Ortowski: It is not a public hearing. The final ~blic
hearing will be in the papers.
Person from Audience: That will be on the 14th~
Mr. Orlowski: We will make ou~ discission on the preliminary map
on the 14th, if they are in. Just on the preliminary. That is
not the final.
Person from Audience: On the division map for Oregon View
Estates they show other roads to be figured in there. If the
Board passes this, with a road coming into Oregon View. Do we
assume, as the residents there, that we can end up with three or
four more streets coming into that area, as it shows on the map?
Mr. Orlowski: They could be in the future, depending on how the
Board feels at that time.
Person from Audience: So the Board is... as I see $outhold Town
would like to keep a rural environment. This environment will
more or less be shattered by taking these little areas like
Oregon View Estates and criss-crossing with a. lot of
intersections and side streets. You are going to lose what
everyone is moving out there for.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, I suggest that you save your comments for
the final hearing. You have to realize that our long range
planning is leaving these spur roads to connect to other roads
for ingress, egress and access.
Person from Audience: The reason why I address you now is that I
work shift work. I was not able to make the last meeting and
probably won't make the next meeting. That is why I address
myself know.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. It will be publicized.
Mr. Anderson: M~ name is Jim Anderson. I live on Oregon Estates°
I just want to know.., can you give us an idea of what you are
going to base your discission on. Most of the neighbors are
here. We are opposed. Is there some criteria that you go b~ that
we should know?
Mr. Orlowski: We are waiting for the preliminary maps. When
those maps come in they will be available for public review.
Everything is in the file in the office. I don't know when they
will be here, but when they, if they are here by our next
meeting they might be ready for our approval, though they may
not. We will look at them then. You can come in and check any
time.

es: Orlowski, Latham, Ward, Edward~.
? Are we going to fence these ponds or are
these ponds? The applicant is here tonight?
Mr. Adel: Yes.
Planning Board 7 October 31~ 1988
Mr. Ward: Fence them.
Mr. Orlowski: You must have to talked to Vaierie about fen~ing
these ponds?
Mr. Cron: We were under the impression when these things were
supposed to be done on the map that they were selectin~ low
natural areas that did not require that. Aesthetically it will
j~st ruin all those areas there to have to fence these things. I
thought, we were under the impression, since they didn't want
the swales that they were selecting low areas that are natural
low areas in that subdivision. They will r~main ia that
condition. Frankly, we were surprised that they had any kind of
berms around them. My conversation with the engineer was to
protect it. He did not feel that there was any reason to fence
it. That b~ nothing to do with the Board. I understand. His
impression was that it need not be fenced. That they were low
natural areas.
Mr. Ward: The problem that we saw with tb~m is that they were
retaining water at various times of the year. It is actually a
sump so it is a problem with liability as we see it.
Mr. Cron: That is going to aesthetically ruin that s~,bdivision.
Mr. Orlowski: Are these going to be dedicated, the Roads?
Mr. Cron: No decision is made on that, atl~t~is~point.
Mr. Ward: The fence line was brought into where "the berms" what
ever you are talking about and was planted in front of it. It
seems to me that you would lose the fence. Just like you would
if you planted. I mean that fence could be set b~k from the
property line..
Mr. Adel: It is just that it would defeat the purpose of a
natural drainage area.
Mr. Ward: Well, it is a natural drainage area but it seems to me
that the~e is an earth buzm that is being put around it. It is
going to retain water.
Mr. Adet: The drainage is very good in this area.
Mr. Cron: Why would we pick these as low natural areas and the
having to basically dig them out and then fence ~ in? You are
creating a whole bunch of sump areas in here.
Mr. Adel: It is not going to look desirable.
Mr. Cron: It is going to look like the devil, to tell you the
truth.
Planning Board 8 October 3!, 1988
Mr. Ward: You are talking the berms right now are in some twenty
feet from the propert~ line. You have a lot of room to do some
landscaping in there.
Mr. Adet: Landscaping fine, but put the fence in?
Mr. Cron: The fencing is going to be terrible.
Mr. Ward: Put the fence in and do like they do all over, the
landscaping in front of it. I don~t now how we can look at it
and say that it is not a storm base and that we should not fence
it. That is our problem.
Mr. Orlowski: We run into a liability problem. We have always
had that.
Mr. Cron: Let me ask you this question. If that were not dug out
specifically and they were low lying areas, what would be the
position of the Board in that regard as far as fencing them?
Mr. Ward: Well, I guess the question is how much is a lot. In
other words, at what point is it water and is it a problem and
at what point isn't ito
Mr. Cron: We were under the impression, when I spoke to Jon
Kohn, ISBB) and he indicated that he did not like the swale type
of set up. His whole conversation was geared, to the fact that
they were selecting low natural areas an~tha.t~ they would just
pipe into those areas. There was never any indication that
anything had to be dug out. We were just using these low natural
areas. He said that there was a number of them within the
subdivision. So I accepted what he bad said in that regard. He
indicated that there was no fencing required and all of a sudden
now we are into this problem.
Mr. Ward: It is h~rd to tell from these maps, it is a
combination of building a berm and digging out that is creating
these...
Mr. Cron: I can see that.
Mr. Ward: Because of that we are retaining water now we are back
to whether it is two foot of water or six, I think we have the
same problem.
Mr. Adel: We were not aware of the berming or the digging out
until the map came back.
Mr. Cron: It was not indicated to us.
Mr. Ward: I see it on the map that is before us and we saw that
these areas are retaining water, so we were conceznedthat they
are essentially storm water basins. It is not like it is running
to an over flow to a creek or something that is...
Planning Board 9 October 31, 1988
Mr. Cron: Is the Board pretty much adamant against swales hence
forth?
Mr. Orlowski: Not as much as our Highway Superintendent is.
Mr. Cron: Because you know the drainage in this subdivision is
excellent. It would be a bad one for swales.
Mr. Ortowski: The only problem with swales is that every place
that we have used swales they are already filled in with
somebodies front lawn and they don't even work any more. The
Highway superintendent is going to kill us if we do the next one.
Mr. Cron: O.K. I understand.
Mr. Ward: If the drainage is as good as you say maybe by adding
some more leaching pools in the positive line, you could
positive overflow to this, maybe it could become so minimal that
they are insignificant. Maybe there is an out.
Mr. Cron: If that were the case, could we avoid this fencing?
Mr. Ward: I would think so, as long ~ you have enough positive
drainage in the system. Right now it is just piping to these low
areas. Maybe there is some low in there where you can add some
seepage basins along a line And get the seepage overflow.
Mr. Cron: Alright, maybe I can talk to th~_~e/~_gineers.
Mr. Ward: And not have to put something in that is going to pond
to a sump depth.
Mr. Cron: We are trying to make this look real nice. It is going
to look like the devil with fences.
Mr. Orlowski: Why don't you proceed that way Amd see if she can
handle it with more leaching basins in line. Then you could
probably end up with some leaching type of leaching field.
Mr. Adel: I don't believe the ground retains any water at this
point. The drainage is good.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, there is no road there.
Mr. Adel: It is a good start anyway.
Mr. Orlowski: Lets hold up on the engineer's report. I think we
are in agreement except for fencing. If you can change the
drainage, we can proceed with preliminary and address it in the
final. You have to have it in the final. But between now and
then we will come up with something. I would start working on it
right away so that we can set this November 14th for the
preliminary.
Planning Board 10 October 31, 1988
Mr. Cron: O.K. Very Good. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Do we want to rescind the motion to accept the
engineer's report?
Fir. Ward: I don't know if there is anything wrong with the
report.
Mr. Orlowski: ~ne report is fine, but do you want to put in
there about the fencing right now?
Mr. Ward: Well, I think what they are going to do is pursue an
alternative and then they will review that.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K.
Mr. Ward: If they don't then it stands as it is.
Mr. Young: May I ask a question regarding this?
Mr. 0rlowski: Sure.
Mr. Young: I think, maybe I misunderstood about swales and grass
water ways and so fourth. Are you opposed to them now. Because
you have pushed me to do a lot of them. I have just completed a
lot of them and now I seem to be getting the m~ssage that you
are not happy.
Mr. Orlowski: You just keep going and when/you get up we will
tell you if we accept them or not.
Mr. Young: It's comical in a way, but...
Mr. Orlowski: We just met with the Highway Superintendent, and
he is very much opposed to it. We do have a way of doing it with
connecting the leaching basins together in the swale system to
handle it a little bit better then we have been with just the
swales themselves. They seem to be getting filled u_D and the
Highway Superintendent is getting aggravated with doing that
way. I am in favor of it. It works fine if they are maintained
the way they are supposed to be. It seems that when they finish
grating off their yard, they have a tendency to grate it right
up to the road.
Mr. Young: I understand all the problems each way. I was just
wondering if I was missing something. I feel like I am being
betrayed after being pushed into the swaled system and also
being pushed away from recharge basins. The word down thehall
has been no recharge basin and tonight I hear it went back to
recharge basins.
Mr. Orlowski: We have something from Sidney Bowne's here that
Planning Board 11 October 31, 1988
Mr. Young: I went to Sid Bowne. I met with him and talked with
him at great length about the engineering and what his ideas
were.
Mr. OrlowsP~: Did you have a problem with his idea?
Mr. Young: I don't have any problem with any good sound
engineering but to throw out something that I think is. beautiful
because someone in the Highway Department does not feel like
working on it.
Mr. Orlowski: If you talked with our engineers and the way they
discussed it, we don't have a problem with ~h~t system.
Mr. Young: I know what he wants. I don't have a problem with it
either. It seems like we are going to have a problem with the
ones I have already submitted?
Mr. Orlowski: You only have to make a few changes in those with
the way he has proposed to do it in using the swale system.
Mr. Young: To put it back to a curb of any kind is not just a
few changes.
Mr. Ward: We have always had a flush curb, right?
Mr. Young: A head-r, yes.
Mr. Ward: What do you suggest? Our superintendent of highways
would prefer to have the mountable curb with the drainage in the
street. To be honest, where we are right now, we probably got a
half a dozen subdivisions out there with swales that are at
final. I don't think you will see those changed. The point,
maybe, is in the future if he has his way we may go more toward
the mountable curb and the drainage in the road.
Mr. Young: I am not opposed to change but the timing is bad. If
you tell me tonight, I'll go back ar~ start working tonight. I
was just shocked to hear that tonight, I have been at this a
long time and I have been here a lot of times. I have been
trying to keep up with all the changes. I get the impression out
of your planning staff that the recharge basin thing was out the
window. That you didn't want it and then to hear it tonight that
you want them. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, we are working on getting rid of both, it
seems doesn't it. No roads. O.K. we will set the hearing for
November 14, 1989 at 8:15.

Southold Fire District and have not received an answer yet.
Mr. Ward: Is there a fire well in it?
Mr. Orlowski: Well, they have not made a recommendation to put
one in it or not to put one in it. We will have to hold this one
over.
Planning Board 15 October 31~ 1988
Mr. Orlowski: Elijah's Laoe~ Sections 2 & 3- Board to review
the Engineer's report dated October 14, 1988 for these major
subdivisions. We have asked for revised plans for 1 & 2 in
respect to the drainage additions. We have the revised plans for
Section III, but they have not been reviewed yet. We only have
the co~,~ents from the engineer.
Mr. Popkin: I am a little confused by the letter, sir. We are
only developing Sections 2 & 3. Section I was developed more
then ten years ago. I really don't understand the request for
revised plans on Section I, unless that was a mistake.
Mr. Orlowski: We are using Section I drainage, instead of there
leaching field. So we are mentioning Section I here because you
are going to go into Section I to connect to their drainage.
Mr. Popkin: O.K.
Mr. Orlowski: And your revised plans have to show that. O.K.
Mr. Popkin: O.K. Are you asking for plane with respect to
Section I or plans of Section II indicating the use of Section I
drainage?
Mr~ Orlowski: You will have to show that Section I & II can be
handled by the drainage already on Section~I.~-So the
calculations will have to show that. I don't think that should
be any problem.
Mr. Popkin: O.K. I will bring this up to the engineer's
tomorrow. Tha~ you.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. What is the pleas~re of the report?

Mr_ Ortowski: Next we have Randall Feinberg- In regard to a
change of zone. Board to make a rec~,endation to the Town Board
on the proposal for a change of zone from "A" Residential and
Agricultural District to "C" Light Industrial District on
ce{tain property located on'the south side of Sound Avenue,
Mattituck. SCTM ~1000-12~-3-6.
Mr. Latham: I move we rec~m~end denial of the application. The
Master Plan calls for Agricultural Conservation, even so it is
not...
Mr. Edwards: I will make the recommendation that the petition be
denied for the following reasons:.
The applicant's .claim that the existing buildings on
the property are not suitable or capable of any
permitted use under the present zoning code has not
been supported by documentationl The zoning code
provides for several uses other than single family
residential dwellings. For examp~: Section 100-30.B.
provides for certain uses by Special Rwception; some
of which maybe applicable tothis property. The
applicant has not shown that he has tried to pursue
any of these options. Therefore, it cannot be ~msumed
that the property is unusable under the current zoning.
The surrounding zoning in the area is A-Residential.
To rezone this piece only for the express purpose of
benefiting said property owner would be spot zoning,
which is illegal.
The introduction of industrial uses on a heavily
travelled, poorly designed stretch of road that is
slated to be impacted by the numerousdevelop~ents is
not responsible.
This I believe the whole board is in agreement to.
Mr. Ortowski: O.K.
Mr. Latham: Second.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the
motion? All those in favor?
Vote of the Board; Ayes: Orlowski, Latham, Ward, Edwardm.

indeed the latest map.
Mr. Orlowski: October 26.

Vote of the Board; Ayes: Orlowski, Latham, Ward, Edwar~.
Mr. Orlowski: Opposed? So ordered. (4 maps siyned)
Mr. Orlowski: Discussion~: Irving Newman- Board to discuss
this minor subdivision with the applicant. This parcel is on
16.4 acres located at Orient~ SC?M ~1.000-19-!-5.
Ms. Gordon: Lynn Gorden. I have pictures for you tonight with
colors.
Mr. Orlowski: We like that.
Ms. Gordon: It will keep you awake, at least. The latest
communication I had from the Board is an indication that you are
concerned about Health Department appr~zais will go beyond the
ten foot contour line. I appreciate yourconcern, but I got my
Health Department approvals on the old one. They go much beyond
the ten foot. I think the point that we have to look at is where
the ten foot contour tine is. And what we can do to avoid
construction below that line. I have indicated, with a red pen,
the contour lines. The ten foot contour line is the one to the
far north in red. It comes down a little and run~ direct south
and comes back down. O.K. What you seem to be asking us to do is
to get four houses within that area which maybe is two acres at
the most. Yet I don't think ghat is what you are intending
because you are asking us to do three, twoacre lots with the
fourth encompassing the remainder of the property. I brought Mr.
Young who says it can not be don~. I don't think it can be done.
Maybe what you are indicating is that you want us to go as close
to the ten foot as we can. The yellow lines on the map...let me
tell you what the green and blue ones are first. The green/blue,
which was supposed to be green but got a little carried away,
those are the original that you sent back to us two months ago
and said why don't you make them look like ~his. We w~t to Mr.
Young and he suggested that where the yello~ lines are would be
more practical because of the triangular shape of the parcel
most to the north. Making the angles less then that wouldn't be
a very buildable lot. Have I confused everybody so far?
Mr. Latham: No.
Ms. Gordon: O.K. What else can we tell you? I really think that
there just hasbeen a problem in understanding where the ten
foot contour lineswere. We have moved back the. house quite a
bit. The building envelope. In Howie's suggestion of 10/8/88,
which is the yellow marking. From its original location which
was much closer to the ponds. We have moved thebuilding
envelope back toward the road considerably.
Mr. Latham: Is there any water toward the north of the pond?
That low area. That gets water in there sometimes.
Planning Board 20 October 31~ 1988
Mr. Ward: It's all weeds.
Mr. Young: I think the other side of the pond, to the south, is
one of those dikes to keep out the tides when they are ~hno~l.
When they had crops there. I think we were both confused by the
resolution.
Mr. Orlowski: It was a question whether it could be done or not.
That is why you are here tonight. I think you have answered it.
Mr. Ward: Our concern was to not provide the house close into
the ~nragmites, because we are down to an-elevation five there.
If we could stay back closer to the ten, then the fill to be
brought in and the impact on the marsh and everything else is
substantially less. What ~%e problem is here is staying with the
two acre lots. Is that what it is?
Mr. Young: I don't think so. I think What was the confusionwas
the understanding of what you meant by keeping everybh~ng north
of the.., then I think the map you sent back from the staff had
lots below the ten contour. The resolution was saying was don't
put any lots...
Mr. Orlowski: One lot.
Mr. Young: I think it has to be tw~ lots. If the ten contour
goes all the way up to here, which it does, I think you show two
lots below the ten contour.
Mr. Ward: If we are between ten and five, we are closer to the
ten then we would be the five.
Mr. Young: I am not arguing with you. We had some lines out
here. The first lot, when you go with a two acre lots because
of the angle here you do lose a lot of buildahle area. My
suggestion was trying to keep it, was that we go with a three
acre lot here, we can put the first lot line here, then two two
acre lots in here and then we would have the fourth lot of nine
acres here and a building envelope in staying back two hundred
feet from the pond with a building envelope that could be quite
large. Which would be a building envelope from here to here
based on your orders for a two hundred foot set back.
Mr. Latham: The houses to the west are back farther. There are a
couple of small houses back there. That is my concern.
Mr. Young: I think what we are talking about is maybe a set back
and not a lot line.
Mr. Ward: Maybe. Put the house back.
Mr. Young: We certainly will be out of the DEC jurisdiction once
we are a hundred feet away. If you want us to be two hundred
feet away.
Planning Board 21 October 31~ 1988
Mr. Ward: Why don't you go four or five hundred feet?
Mr. Orlowski: Is this different?
Mr. Ward: Make the building envelope s~bstantially less on that
last lot.
Mr. Orlowski: Tb~s two hundred feet you show, is that this
latest map.
Mr. Young: No. That was the seventy five foot set back line
here. We would go about two hundred to that house it looks like.
Mr. Orlowski: Are you on the ten foot contour?
Mr. Young: No. That is the five foot contour, I believe. We were
showing proposed contours. This was a proposed grading plan
here. This is the five contour and this is the ten contour. We
showed some proposed grading around the house of the amount of
fill we have to put in to build it there.
Mr. Orlowski: O.K.
Mr. Ward: Now we want to come back like this.
Mr. Young: If I could, Mr. Newman is b~re and I think he would
like to live there. Certainly he wants to get you approval, but
I am not sure that he wants to build out o~ the Main Road. We
are all concerned about the environment. We have certain guide
lines and set backs.
Mr. Ward: Our concern here, is that of the time we almost
mandated cluster and put one acre lots up close to the Main
Road. That is the way we personally felt about it, but we
realized that the larger lots, because the configuration of the
first lot will be a little difficult to do. Our concern was that
it in any future subdivision in this area we will be pulling the
houses back as close to the Main Road as we can.
Mr. Latham: I am thinking of the whole, from east of there is
not going to be anything. Just west of you is open, that is
Hoey's I beli~ve, we don't know about that. Just west of that is
Dianna Latham who has two small houses back away from the water.
Mr. Young: I don't have a problem with that. I think that is
what Planning Board's are all about. I think you will look at
the broad thing. I ~m not having a problem with you. I don't
disagree with what you are saying. If you say that for everybody
then you say it to everybody. There are some peoplethat care
about what they see from the Main Road. They travel out to
Orient and they want it to look the way it has look for years.
If you cluster all the houses on the Main Road, that is the
problem too. If you want to cluster them in the middle, that is
something you might want to look at.
Planning Board 22 October 31, 1988
Ms. Gordon: The wet lands are out of this all together. That is
something that we are dealing with the DEC on the wet lands and
who is getting them. Somebody wonderful is going to get the wet
lands. We are a long way from the wet lands at t~b~s point in
time.
Mr. Young: I think if we had a guide line~ If you suggest a
number, which I think Dick Ward has.
Mr. Orlowski: Is that alright. What did you say?
Mr. Ward: The set back will be four hundred feet instead of two
hundred. It would be closer to the major portion of the upland.
Mr. Young: What he suggests is that this is two hundred feet and
did the same lot variations. We double that and come up here and
therefore you would have it like this. Leave the lot the same
except we will restrict it to a building envelope that is four
hundred feet. Is that right?
Ms. Gordon: Your house has got to be on the other side of the
water.
Mr. Young: This is still a considerable building lot, because we
are talking about a nine acre lot.
Mr. Edwards: The other lots will remain the Same. Just your
building envelope will be different.
Mr. Young: Four huDdred foot?
Mr. Orlowski: O.K. Is that alright?
Mr. Ward: Your just making the building envelope ~maller.
Ms. Gordon: O.K. So we just have to submit another sketch
showing this.
Mr. Orlowski: RiGht.
Ms. Gordon: Thank you very much.
Mr. Orlowski: Do you want to make a motion for sketch subject to
those changes?
Mr. Edwards: Sure.
Mr. Latham: I'll second it.
Mr. Orlowski: Motion made and seconded. Any questions on the
motion? All those in favor?

Mr. Orlowski: I know you don't have anything left on your
agenda, but on mine is the ~ove at Southold. The applicant has
asked us what we would like. I believe in talking with the
trustees, they don't have any problem with putting the pool and
tennis courts back down by the unit. They will have to go before
the trustees. Do you want to make that a motion?
Mr. Ward: I think it will be the pool. I ~don~t know that the
tennis court will go back down.
Mr. Orlowski: No, probably not~
Mr. Edwards: What is the motion to be? For the applicant to go
back to the Trustees?
Mr. Orlowski: And proceed in putting the pool deck into the
complex itself and not on the ...
Mrs. Wacker: i once took a ride down there, where the pool was
originally suppos~ to be, on that high tide. It is under water.
Also one of the foundations that are there would have been
flooded to the first floor.
Mr. Ward: Originally where it was suppose to go?
Mr. Orl0wski: You guys want to put the swimming pool there now?
bk. Ward: I think there is s~ne engineerin~ things that could be
done. If they raised it a foot or two. Elevation wise. It
certainly will be better then putting it out on Main Bayview.
Mrs.~Wacker: Why do they need a swia,,,~ng pool. They are right on
the creek.
Planning Board 24 October 31, 1988
Mr. Orlowski: We can not see putting the pool on Bayview Road.
If they want to put it down where the complex is then let the
Trustees see if it should go there or not. O.K.
