Mr. Bruer: Yes, Rudolph Bruer, on behalf of Mr. Maragos and

Planning Board Page 2 1/12/87
1985 and I think we have complied with all your requirements
and to get into it any more would be redundant and I would
just like to repeat all our prior arguments and ask that
the Board grant approval to this subdivision.

there may ~b~-future development on that other property, we can merge these
together somehow.

Mr~ Raynor: If we were to follow the ~aord's suggestion that they give
some idea as to the configuration of the lots.
Planning Board Page 4 1/12/87
Mr. Orlowski: Well, the road could come up and curve over. The Board
made a drawing while we were out in the field.
Mr. Ward: This is also an area where we are looking for the East/West
road.
Mr Raynor: I was hoping this would be brought up, this was purposely
omitted so we could see what suggestions the Board may have for circulation.
If you have an-area delineated by lot numbers we would be glad to incorporate
it , there is more than sufficient area to accomodate this.
Mr. Orlowski: Do you have any comments, Mr. Bryer.
Mr. Bryer: The length of the cul-de-sac without a secondary means of egress
was the one comment. I think it is 1200' feet,if I am not correct.
Mr. Raynor; Tell me a location that you would like a tie in and we would
be more than happy to accomadate the Board. If you have a sketch that
you would like to propose, we would be more than happy to accomodate
the Board, this is a map that is underyielded.
Mr. Orlowski: That is okay.
Mr. Ward: Potential is there and hopefully will start picking up some
property for the east/west road.
Mr. Raynor: I don't know whether the Greenfield minor to the east has
drawn a spur to the westerly border.
Mr. Bryer; We will check that subdivison.
Mr. *Raynor: If you feel it should go further to the south for a primary
access that is fine.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, does the Board have any other questions? We will
give you a sketch and a covering letter Witb our recommendations.
Mr. Raynor: Okay, we will be happy to accomodate the Board.
7:45 p.m. Public hearing on the question of~approval of the minor subdivision

P~anning Board Page 5 1/12/87
M~.-Orlowski: Board, Mr. Mullen, none; Mr. Edwards, none; Mr. Ward, (the
applicant has complied with our request); Mr. Bryer, none. Okay, being
no further questions, I will declare this hearing closed.
L & R Vineyards - Mr. Howard Young, surveyor was present for the Board's
review of this major subdivision of 30 lots on 117.4 acres at Elijah~s
Lane, Mattituck.
Mr. Orlowski: Our next field inspection was L~and R Vineyards, this was
30 lots on 117.4 acres located at Elijah's Lane, Matttiuck.
Mr. Young: I am present for the applicant.
Mr. Orlowski: At one time, we were to understand that they were going
to be all clustered to th~-North and this was going to be all open space
or sold'to Suffolk County~in the Farmland Preservation Program.
Mr. Young: My understanding was taht this was going to be offered to
the Town of Southold's farmland preservation program.
Mr. Orlowski: Nothing has happened with this.
Mr Young: This is the piece that wewere going to do a subdivision on
we are going to cluster this because we would like to lea~e this. We could
germander the lines here any way you want there was a mistake I made on
the yield calculations here, certainly whatever acreage it would take
for 28 lots on Section I, all the land belongs to L & R Vineyards. We
are trying to plant grapes for the vineyards.
¥~. Orlwoski: Most of this is in vineyard already.
MR. Young: Right except for about 5 acres.
Mr. Orlowski: There will be no winery there now.
Mr. Young: I think there was some question if it was allowed under the
ordinance.
Mr. Orlowski: By special exception it is.
Mr. Young: I don't known what happened to the idea.
Mr. Orlowski: So, we will be tearing out the grapes and putting up houses
instead.
Mr. Young: Yes.
Mr. Orlowski: Does the Board have any coments?
Mr. Ward: I think it was our consensus that we would rather see the houses
clustered to the North with southern section open.
Mr. Young: You mean bymore than this.
Mr. Ward: Utilize all this to the Nortb and leave this open.
Planning Board
Page 6 1/12/87
Mr. Young: Well, my client would like it this way economically and the
reason that he wants to continue this for grapes too because that is why
this in gr~pes so that everybody feels that they get a grape for a neighbor
and it is a nice setting. Certainly we would rather have it this way.
The reason we did it this way is to make it orderly.
Mr. Ward: The biggest concern is to move the houses off the road.
Mr. Young: Well, there was some discussion and ...
Mr. Orlowski: Section No. 2 has a lot designation on it.
Mr. Young: Well, we have had some discussionwith regard to how we get
this separated. We don't want to disrupt this is a life estate and a
home on here. We want to develop the property from here over. we want
the right to convey from here over. There is an--existing house with acreage
around it. This is a set off whidh we recently did. We called this SEction
I and Section II but anyway that you may want to handle this which would
be appropriate, we would be glad to.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, in the sale of the development rights, this can be
left off.
Mr. Young: We will do it anyway you wan.t
Mr. Orlowski: You would,not have to do it and subdivide it at this time.
Is this in separate title?
Mr. Young: No, they are all in the same. In other words, we are not
gOing to request a split. We prppos~ to only file this. That is the
intent now.
Mr. Orlowski: You think you may be agreeable to moving this aroung.
Mr. Young: He has a certain amount of acreage so this will just cut down
on the amount of acreage.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, then we will cut the yield down a little bit and .
Mr. Young; Well, whatever we need for open space, the development will
be worth more.
Mr. Orlwoski: Well, the open space that stays with the development
will be left with the development, that can not be sold separately.
Mr. Young: That is right, that has no value, but if we cut down we can
leave it with the open space.
MR. 0rlwoski: Could you come back with a sketch putting back more lots
to the North and leaving the road frontage open, and no houses on the
corner.
Mr. Young: Yes.

Page 7 1/12/87
)0 Mr. Henry E. Raynor, Jr., was present for the pre submission conference
discuss the site plan for a storage building located at Mat-a-Mar
~ina at Mattituak.
Orlwoski: Okay, next, we have an 8:00 p.m. appointment, Mr. Henry
· nor has scheduled a pre submission conference to discuss a site plan
construction of a storage building located at Mat a Mar Marina, Mattituck.
Raynor: This started out to be an amendment to the site plan to
struct a storage building for inside storage Of boats during the winter
the site, for the existing marina. In exploration of the matter withthe
[lding Inspector's office, we find that the buildings and facilities
~t exist on site are ~e-existing and conforming by special exception
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Basically, what has happened here is
~ character of the clientele and the marina has grown, his boats are
[ized throughout the season, mostley star right at the marina and the
re that is given to them during the season by their owners kind of
ztates that he create a storage building on the site for protection
the elements. We have succeeded in probably coming up with a substantial
:e plan that exists for both the pleasure of this Board as well as
her Board's in the Town as well as the Builidng Inspector's Office.
will note that the proposed building is beyond the 75' from the bulkheaded
area and is well above the 10' contour. That is pretty much a simple
case of what is proposeed. Being added to a pre-existing unofficial
site plan. We would like to make it number one official and number incorporate
another building into it.
Mr. Orlowski: Does the Board have any questions for Mr. Raynor?
Mr. Lessard have you reviewed this yet.
Mr. Lessard: I have not reviewed it yet, it sounds like it will probably
require a special exception but I am not sure.
Mr. Raynor: I would question that with Mr. Lessard because it is only
used for~'a storage building.
Mr. Lessard: I don't know, I would have to check the zone on that.
Mr. Raynor: I would be more than happy to go over it with you any time.
Mr. Lessard: Fine.
Mr. Bryer: Just one thing, could you put on the setbacks from the creek
so the building doesnlt creep up any.
Mr. Raynor: It is 125' from the creek.
Mr. Bryer: I didn't notice it on the plan.
Mr. Raynor: Purposely it was maintained well beyond the 75' so that
we would not have to go to any other Board's.
Planning Board Page 8 1/12/87
Mr. Bry~r: We would like to see it on the plan so that the Building
doesn't creep during construction. Some times they have a tendancy to
move during construciton.
Mr. Lessard: How far from the road is it.
Mr. Raynor: It is about 400'.
Mr. Lessard: We have a sensitive area in there, where somebody promised
us a 50' buffer and it seems to be taking hurricane status, it is falling.
Mr. Raynor: If you would give me something to that in writing I would
be more than happy to have that created and buffered and planted.
Mr. Lessard: It was agreed in 19~8 and it seems to. be dwindling.
Mr. Raynor: It was agreed in 1978 and there is no reason it should not
be agreed to in 1987.
Mr. Lessard: Thank you.
Mr. Ward: How tall is the builidng?
Mr. Raynor: That is a very good question, we were discussing tht the
other day because with the bridge and towers on the sports boats we are
ranging any where from 22 to 25' at the opening so we are well within
the ordinance what ever is applied for. My guess is about 29 to 30 feet.
It is just an estimate.
Mr Ward: What type of building?
Mr. Raynor: It would be a pre-fabricated steel building.
Mr. Ward: Will there be any impact on the neighbors?
Mr. Raynor: It will not be visable, along Wickham Avenue, there is a
series of trees and the property rises. To follow the contour of this
particular location it will dovetail in because it is the grade to the
North so that there will be no visual impact from the North. Particualrly
from the East and possibly a small exception of a branch of the creek
that goes to the East.
Mr. Edwards: What right now is that area being used for, outside storage?
Mr. Raynor: Outside storage. There is absolutely no changein the use.
Mr. Edwards: There will just be a cover over it.
Mr. Orlwoski: Are there stakes out there now showing where the buiding will
be. If you could stake it, we will make a field inspection and if the
Board sees fit, we can refer it to the Building Department so Mr. Lessard
can review it.
Mr. Raynor: I would caution you that the stakes may not be a hundred
percent accurate for the simple fact that there are boats in storage
on the site right now.
Planning Board Page 9 1/12/87
On a motion made by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Multen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board refer the site plan for
Mat-A- Mar Marina for construction of a storage building to the Building
Department for certification. Survey dated December 1986.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen,EdwarRm, Ward
Bayside Farms
Mr. John Collins and MS. Ruth Cooke were presnt for the Board's review
of this Sketch following a field inspection.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, next we have Bayside Farms, this is 21 lots on 104
acres at South Harbor Lane, PecOn~c in the cluster concept. That is not
a bad density. It is a.beautiful piece of property, the Board has been
down.there~ The roads themselves, for construction, were you planning
to use what is existing or are you going to build these roads.
Mr. Collins: The road to the North will be new, the one that is paralell
to the existing farm. The existing driveway if you drove into the site,
you probably drove into the driveway, there are five houses now and the
intent is to keep that driveway serving only five houses.
Mr. Orlowski~ Does the Board have any questions, Mr. Ward.
Mr. Ward: It is encoraging to see such a broad step to preserving open
space.
Mr. Collins: One thing I might add, the intent is that all the roads
will be private roads, managed by the homeowners association. We would
hope that the character of those roads would be more in keeping with
the rural cultural character of the land.than the typical suburban subdivision.
Mr. Orlowski: Was this map in once before many years ago?
Mr. Collins: I think long ago, yes, before I was involved.
Mr. Orlowski: Nothing ever became of that.
Mr. Collins: It has taken three years for the family and the planning
process to become jelled. The density has not changed.
Mr. Orlowski: It was 30 lots theN.
Mr. Collins: It keeps going down.
Mr. Orlowski: It is a nice layout.
Planning Board Page 10 1/12/87
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Edwards, it was
RESOLVED that teh Southold Town Planning Board, following a field inspection,
grant sketch map approval to the major subdivision to be known as "Bayside
Farms" located at South Harbor Road, Southold for 16 proposed lots and
5 lots with existing homesites for a total of 21 lots on 104 acres, in
the cluster concept, map dated May 12, 1986.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Ward, Edwards
On a motionmade by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Ward, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board declare themselves lead

off of Mary Bonkoski located at Alvah's Lane, Cutchogue. An initial
determinationof non-significance has been made.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Ward, Edwards
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Edwards, the following
action was taken:
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law State
Enviroinmental Quality Review Act and 6NYCRR Part 617, Section 617.10
and Chpater 44 of the Code of the Town of Southold,notice is hereby given

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION
The minor subdivision of Mary Bonkoski is a set off of 85,685
square feet from 19.9 acres located at Alvah's Lane, Cutchogue, taxmap
no. 1000-101-2-24.1 and 24.2.
The project has been determined not to have a significant effect
on the environmen for the following reasons:
An environmental assessment has been submitted which indicated
that no significant adverse effects to the environment were likely
to occur should the project be implemented as planned.
Because there has been no correspondence received from the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services in the alotted time, it
is assumed that there are no comments or objections from that
agency.
Becuase there has been no-correspondence received from the NY
State Department of Environmental Conservation in the alotted
time, it is assumed that there are no comments or objections
Planning Board Page 11 1/12/87
from that agency.
The project will meet all the requirements of the Code of the
Town of Southold Subdivision of Land Regulations.
Further information can be obtained by contacting Diane M. Schultze,
Secretary Southold Town Planning Board, MainRoad, Southold, NY 11971.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Ward, Edwards
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board grant approval of the
set off for Mary Bonkoski located at Alvah's Lane, Cutchogue to set of
85,685 square feet from 19.9 acres, survey dated as amended September
29, 1986, subject to:
1. Receipt of approval from the Suffolk County Department
of Health Services, pursuant to Article 6.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Ward, Edwards
Mr. Scott Acardo was present for an appointment to discuss the site
plan proposal for a retial shopping center located at County Route 48,
Southold.
Mr. Orlowski: Next, we have an 8:15 p.m. appointment with Mr. Scott
Accardo who has scheduled an appointment to discuss the site plan proposal
for a shopping center located at County Route 48, Southold. This is
not a presubmission conference but just a chance to discuss his application.
Would you tell the Board your intentions.
Mr. Accardo : The property is a 2.2 acre lot and we are proposing to
have 13% lot coverage with the building which will have 11 retail stores.
and will encompass 13,200 square foot of building space. The character
of the building is in the New England Design and we will be using used
brick and vinyl siding for the exterior walls. And, keeping with teh
character of the Town,my client proposes to landscape the property itself
on four sides and have left the landscaping to the discretion,of the
Board and how they might want to landscape it. The front of the property
we have squared off all the parking to the building rather than along
the line of the property line itself. We are trying to do what is most
aesthetically pleasing and have provided landscaping infront of the building
as well as a buffer between the paving and what the building starts.
I have home before you just for a preliminary review and to get your
opinionof the project.
Mr. Mullen: I would like to look at it in the field.
Mr. Edwards: I think we should get out in the site.
Planning Board Page 12 1/12/87
Mr. Bryer: When you say you have 11 retail stores, how much parking
do you show?
Mr. Accardo: We require 88 spaces and we show~ 93.
Mr. Bryer: We require 1 space per every 100 square feet of retail.
Mr. Aecardo: We are showing storage space and taking out that 13000,
there is 400 square feet of storage space in each store.
Mr. Bryer: That wasn't on the plan and it should be because I could
not break it down. Ail I could do was take the total square feet of
the entire store. If you could break down retail versus sales area.
Also, you have the handicapped spaces right on the entrance from North
Road, I guess that is at the discretion of the building department, but
I think that that is an area where it could present a problem. Those
are my only comments.
Mr. Ortowski: The Board will field inspect this for the line of site
and other things and get back to you to give you an idea for our feelings
so that you can prepare a site plan for a pre-submission conference.
The Cove at East Marion
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, next we hm~e Cove Beach Associates, now
owned by Mr. Harold Reese. This is 40 lots on 96 acres at
East Marion. This has been around a long time. The Board
has made a lot of inspections down there. Irbelie~e Mm~lReese
youl.want to add. We have a map that already has sketch plan
approval with, I believe, 34 lots. The Board felt that it
has come along w~y in, from granting that sketch and making
it 34 lots and the Board would like to leave it like that.
Mr. Reese: Of course, I was only going by this formula.
Mr. Orlowski: Right.
Mr. Reese: As the code stated, and I went to the Town attorney
todfind out if I was correct on the maximum number of yield.
And, according to the fommnla which he gave me and as stated
in the code book, we are allowed 41.9, I believe, 40.9 I'm
sorry. So, we ]ust wanted to go along with the 40.
Mr. Orlowski: Right, see...
Mr. Reese: There is 96 acres and there is plenty of open space
including all that acreage over on Dam Pond which is pretty
valuable bpilding sites, bht we went along with the open space
idea and we would like certainly to retain the 40 lots. It
would seem that ~he open space would be amp~.
Planning Board Page 13 1/12/87
Cove Beach Associates at East Mari~n, cont.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, does the Board have any other comments? (none)
We fe~l that the sketch that we had and scrutinizing and revlewmng9
it, and going over it and ending up with 34 lots and granting
sketch on that map, stitch approval, took a long time and alot
of work and we felt it was a good plan and a good layout and
~nless the Board has any other comments, I think we wou~d like
to stay with that. You are already starting with sketch, we
are going to go back now and calculate and figure out again,
I don't know how l~n9 that is going to take. But...
Mr. Reese: I don't quite understand the calculating.
Mr. Orlowski; Well, we just felt for the area and the impact
of it that 34 lots is sufficient and we would tike to see it
that way.
Mr. Reese: Well, we have no recourse I guess.
Mr. Orlowski; Well, I guess you could push it.
Mr. Reese: W~ll, I don't want to assume an adversary position.
Mr. Orlowski: You already have an approved sketch plan and
you ~ahl go right to preliminary right now. We hhve walked
it manFi~?timeS~3together and separately, a~nd it is a beautiful
spot ~here and it was hard to swallow it ~at!-34'~ lo~¥ but~it is
something that we accepted and granted sketch on ~it ~and we
would t~ke to see you pursue that map.
Mr. Reese: Of course it places us at a distinct disadvantage
as you can understand. The thing had been around a long time
as y~u say, and of course we were in to this 2½ years ago and
almasttgot it in at 5~ lots. Then two acres zoning came in
between. M~ f~s~okcat~haa~ap, of course, was that the
lots were on the meger side. When I checked it out according
to formula I thought~hat we would be entitled to it. I would
certainly like the Board to reconsider it, if it is possible,
without too much delay.
Mr. Orlowski; I think the first time I walked this property
was seven years ago, exactly to the day. This has been around
a long time. Like I said, it took alo~ of work ont~hat last
sketch so, does the Board have any comments? Would you like
to revmew it again?
Mr. Mullen: As you point out ifi~ went with 34, he could
start tomorrow. This has been along time. I am sure you can
appreciate that we like a liti~emore open space. Like the
situation we had before wi~h close to 140 acres, they are o~y
utilizing ~ughtly 34 acres.with 21 units.
Planning Board Page 14 1/12/87
Cove Beach Associates at East Marion cont.
Mr. Reese: May I ask the Board what iR the formula for if
it is left up to discretion.
Mr Mullen: Well, we try to do the bes~we can.
Mr. Ward: The formula works quite well on farmland and me~n~ar-
types of property. When you are dealing with environmentally
sensative area, we often times have to work withaa developer
to get a density. Sometimes, the formmla just doesn't work,
for a particular parcel. We are dealing with shor~front and
wektinds and a very beautiful and valuable piece of property.
Mr. Reese: I~ isrtha~ bntnOfz~cdurme~in arriving at t~is
figure of 40, we had to subtract the wetlands right from the
top. We have taken the 20% and then divided it by 80,000.
Mr. Ward: When you look at the irregular feet, it doesn't
plot very easit~y~
Mr. Reese: Then, that of course, changes the road layout.
I ahve to through myself at the mercy of the Board, of course,
but I would certainly like them to be considerate of the pro]ect.
Mr. ~towski: Well ....
Mr. Bryer: ~ne of the O~e~t~imgs that we thought at t~e
time when you had 34 lots in was you ~ue~o~y one means of
egress. YOu have a private road over hear, I guess that iS
B~o~n's Hills Road.
Mr. Reese: No, that is Stars Road.
Mr. Bryers:
Mr. Reese:
Mr. Bryer:
Is that a private road?
Therezms only road in there.
Anyway, there~is only one means of egress.
- ~ -~- W~ thought with the 34 lots, you are requ~med
to have 20 as a maximum when you have only one egress. At the
time, we gave it a~b~ak because there was some circulation
within the subdivision. But, adding six more lots in an area
like this, you are adding roughtly a car and ½ a lot and we
just thought that was over what we had originally ....
Mr. Reese: Of course, when I brought the questionuDp at a
previous meeting a couple of month~ ago, about the access,
in my opinion,c, open space, it was suggested that I draw up
another map; which, of course, I have done here including the
six lots. And while, there wasn't any explicit promise I just
assumed that it might receive favorable consideration. I know
that there was a field inspection made, what is the result
of the fi&ld inspection?

Mrr Orlowski: Well, it was felt that %hey would like to cut
the impact and gain someeopen space. That was our intent in
a~king forrthe yield map. And, there were alot of questions
wi%h ~he ~e~nds? down %here. Wi%h %he yield map, maybe we
can get those answers~ if youccan~ettthee40~otssin here.
I am sure like Mr. Ward says, with the formula you could figure
it out, but by Field, it may not be possible.
Mr. Reese: I doh~t quite known, exactly what would a yield
map~show.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, it would show the roads and how much of
the roads would have to come out and how many lots you could
yei~ld out of ~his piece taking out your roads, taking out your
wetlands and Sh~wi~g.>t~hat is left as uplands. ~c ~x~e ?~'-~ ~fn~u~m~q
Mr. ~{eese: We are not changing the road structure.
Mr. Orlowski: But, we never d~d see a yield map and we are
questioning that and we did go so far with those 34 lots and
taking out these lots over%here and coming in and gaining a
bit of open space, I think w6uld add to the subdivision. And,
make it that much better. And, that is what we worked with
the last applicant on. We liked it and we would like to see
you carry it on. If you want, you want us to look at it again
and proceed with it, we definitely would want ayyield map and
we probably would want to get out and check it again. And,
this way the yield map would show us how many lot you could
get in here with the roads and the wetlands taken out and drainage.
Mr. Reese: Excuse me, Mr. Orlowski, but how would a yield map
differ ~nymtha~ the map we have here now.
Mr. Orlowski: W~ll, right now you are just showing us numbers.
We would like to see how you could do that on here.
Mr. Bryer: A yield map ~hows exactly how many 80,000 square
foot lots you could get in that area taking out recharge basins,
wetlands, roads, park and playground, the actuallconventieRal
subdivision that yo could get in that area with 80,000 square
foot lots.
Mr. Reese: Do you happen to kn'ewn if that was already done?
Mr. Orlowski: We did not find one in the files, ho~er, like
I said this goes%back about 7 ~earS~ I thought the~e~was one,
but we could not find it in any of the files. We wo~d like
to see it again because we did have that with 34 lots and I
thought it was because there was a yield map there. To be
honest I could not find it.
Mr. Reese: Well, in your experience, do you think a yield map
would come closer to 40 than to 34?
Planning Board Page 16 1/12/87
Cove Beach Associates atEast Marion cont.
Mr. Orlowski: You will have to tell us. Tha~ is what we want
to know~, We felt safe with 34 and that is why we granted sketch~
and proceeded withtthis. I think if we proceed any further
it will have to be with a yield map.
Mr. Edwards: Would we even seriously consider the 40 lots
with on~ one access.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, we will have to take a look at the yigld
map and get badk to them.
Mr. Edwards: I wouldn't... (inaudible)
Mr. Reese: Would thecBoard be willing to compromise on splitting
the difference?
Mr. Orlowski: I don't think this Board is ready to deal with
out any yield map at all. You ha~e sketch for 34 and like
I said that was a lot of work.
Mr. Reese: You think, then, there is no point in pursning
a yield map? You are going to s~ay with 34.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, you have the right to show where you can
yei~d that number and we h~e right to chan~e the layout for
the safety ~nd convenience of the subdivision and the people
innit. Who knows what we'll end up at. Maybe you will gain
two lots, maybe you will loose two. I don't know. From 34.
Mr. Reese: That is not a difficult choice of course.
Mr. Orlowski: If there is not a yield map and you w~nt to get
one together, we will review it. Otherwise with the 34 lots,
you can proceed right on to preliminary.
Mr. Reese: Can I get to you on the next meeting of February
2, and I will take it up with the engineer first, if he thinks
we canget forty lots W~h the yield map, alright, if not, we
will just go ahead with the 34.
Mr. Orlowski: That sounds fair to me. What about the rest of
the Board?
Mr. Ward: Just that we are increasing the density, we are
up against one access.
Mr. Reese: Well, than what you are telling me is that it will
be 34 or nothing.

and gave a c~l.
Okay.
1/12/S?
Mr. Ward: Unless ~we can figure out another access.
Mr. Reese: No, ther is no way.
Mr. Orlowski: I believe on t~p~o~f this, you also have five more
lots to the NOrth.
(conversation between Mr. Mullen and Mr. Ward which is inaudible)
Mr. Orlowski: THe Board would like to see a y~ld map. Mr.
Latham is not here ~onight but he d~m~ss that he would
definitely like to s~a~ with the 34.
Mr. Reese: Well, you see where the six lots are, suppose we
left the open space in between.
Mr. Orlowski: I think the density' is what we are talking about,
what the rest of the Board is talking about. Like I said, Mr.
La~hmm isn't here tonight, but he stressed that, he stopped
ther~ this afternoon as a matter of fact~ took a quick look~
We gave R~and he would like to see 34.
M. Paul Friedberg subdivision at
Mattituck -
Mr. Orlowski: Next, we have Paul Friedberg, this isl3 lots on 26 acres at
Mill Lane, Mattituck. We did review it again and take a look. Mr.
Ward you had some comments.
Mr. Ward: The basic comment still lholds that we were really opposed
to seeing lot No. 7 in the hole. We really feel that if it is going
to be a cluster that the low area shuld be the open space.
Mr. Ross, Esq: The Board does have the new map where lot No. 6 has been
left as open space. It seems that that is the area of concern and this
would take care of the problem. Originally you asked that the lots be
placed in the northern area, that would be contrary to the plans of the
app%icant, which is to use that as a nursery. To require that would...
Mr. Ward: Well, if there is a problem with that, maybe they ought to
eliminate that house and go with less lots then. Take these lots out
of the hole, it doesn't make sense when you have all this property.
Mr. Ross: What hole are we talking about?
Mr. Ward: Where lots 6, 7, 5, 13~ 12 are, the 35' contour goes through
all of them.
Planning Board Page 18 1/12/87
Mr. Ross: That leaves us with about 8 lots.
~r. Ward: Well, that is the option, go with 8 lots or put the lot~ to
the North.
~r. Ross: As the Board has the conventional yield map and it shows,
that approach would serve our purposes just as well and it would seem
shame to go that route and loose the benefit of a cluster approach
or that purposes. I don't believe and from what I understand there really
isn't a water problem down there, if there is, I would think removing
that middle lot takes care of the problems. And, as we have indicated
to the Board, planing in terms of placement of houses on the remaining
lot that youhave indicated concern takes care of the remaining problem.
To require the removal of all those lots from that area is in effect
going to bury the cluster plan. And, I think we can work with this now
if there is some other area that you are concerned with, but lots 5,
13, and 12 are well out of that low area. Lot 7 is questionable, but
we could even work with that, I though the main concern was the middle
lot, lot 6, now it is indicated as park which is incorrect and really
should be labeled as open space.
Mr. Mullen: Six and seven.
Mr. Ward: Why put access through the low area.
Mr. Orlowski; You should move the l~ts ~o the North or take them out.
It would be better to move the lots into the higher elevation, I think
future owners would have a better building location on the higher ground.
Mr. Ross: My understanding i~ that it is a problem with the middle lots
and the elevation goes up on the back lots and that the Board recommended
the requirement to move all five lots.
Mr. Ward: The rights of way would go through the low area.
Mr. Ross: Those could be put~ on the other side if we are just worried
about the lots on the low la~d, six and seven.
Mr. Ward: If you would like to propose another layout, we will consider
i~.but our reaction is that the lots should be in the front land with
open space in the low land.
