PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
The Southold Town Planning Board held a regular meeting on Monday,
March 30, 1987 at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold NY
at 7:30 p.m. '
Present were:
Chairman Bennett Orlowski, Jr.
Member William F. Mullen, Jr.
Member G. Ritchie Latham, Jr.
Member Richard Ward
Executive Administrator Victor Lessard
Planner James Bryer
Secretary Diane M. Schultze
Absent:
Member Kenneth Edwards - due to inclemenn weather
7:30 p.m. Mr. Kevin McLaughlin was present for an informal appointment
withthe Board to discuss the major subdivision for Michael Saragas located
at Old North Road and County Route 48, Southold.
Mr. McLaughlin: I received the Board's correspondence that the Board
does not look favorably on the proposal as submitted and would request
that we either decrease the size of the individual lots down to one acre
lots in the cluster or go with a conventional subdivision and really
my main purpose for being here tonight is to inquire of the Board wether
they would more favorably consider the map as filed ~f we would put covenants
and restrictions on the parcels that the 20% lot coverage would be calculated
on the basis as if these lots were 40,000 square foot lots and that way
we would keep the open space concept which the Board has expressed an
interesn in and at the same time, the property owners would have larger
lots although they couldn't cover them with structures to any greater
degree than if they were 40,000 square foot lots.
Mr. Orlowski: I don't really think so, does the Board have any comment
on that?
Mr. Ward: Just, generally, the layout that was presented inthe cluster
doesn't realy provide open space that will be significant to the community.
It is stuck way in the corner. That was our comment looking at it. We
would prefer to see substantial half of the property in open space and
Planning Board
Page 2 3/30/87
Mr. Ward: certainly use up some of the road frontage for open space.
What is happening, I think, the snbdivisions we are getting along County
Route 48 is to push the development off the road and keep it back. It
might mean developing a road in this case.
Mr. McLaughlin: We do have one existing house already on County Route
48. So, I think it might be.
Mr. Ward: We are at odds with you about the layout.
Mr. McLaughlin: You would prefer to see the open space on the Route
48 even withthe existing house.
Mr. Ward: Well, essentially, at least the corner. Maybe you could b~ing
a cul-de-sac road and bring the one acre lots off the road. At the present
time, essentially, there is no indication to the community that there
is any open space here at all.
Mr. Orlowski: You are taring all the open space and hiding it behind
the lots. You mhould be able to see some of the open space. I think
what you should do is go hack and change this layout and Mr. Ward do
you have any notes there on the map itself?
Mr. Ward: We addressed the notes.
Mr. McLaughlin: The letter also indicated to me that th~ Board may possibly
look favorably to a conventional layout as well as a cluster subdiviion
here.
Mr. Ward: The comment was basically that this was so close to a conventional
that it would be less impact 6n the road if a conventional layout was
used.
Mr. McLaughlin: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Ward: You might also address the drainage.as well, there is an existing
low spot.

7:45 p.m. Ms. Abigail Wickham, Esq. was present for an informal appointment
to discuss the site plan for San Simeon Retirement Community located
at Chapel Lane, Greenport. Paster Ettlemeyer was also present for this
appointment.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, next order of business, Ms. Abigail Wickham has scheduled
an informal appoint to discuss the site plan for San Simeon Retirement
Community located at Chapel Lane, Greenport.
Ms. Wickham: I asked for this appointment to review a couple of questions
that we had for the Board in the nature of a pre-submission conference.
The Church or in this case, the retirement community, wh±eh is a separate
coorpertaion is ready to implement a site ptanwhich they have. Just
to refresh your memory, 144 units were approved, they have built 8 so
far and they are at the point now where they have got to proceed in further
construction and developing the project. It has become a very considerable
financial burden to the Church or the retirement community because of
the delay that they have encountered to the tune of almost $8,000 a month
in interest and that is going to be mounting. So,they have had to proceed
with looking for mortgage financing. Basically, there are two different
things which they want to do. First of all, there are three separate
corporations involved with this St. Peters Lutheren Church, the Nursing
Home Facility up the road and also San Simeon Retirement Community which
is a separate.corporation. Now, in order to proceed with their purposes,
they would like at this point and in order to finance a mortgage the
retirement community itself, the set off corner property that is on the
site plan. One is on the Main Road and Chapel Lane, and that would be
to set off to the benefit of the Church for their future plans, we don't
know that they ahve any at this point, but at some point when the Church
needs tht property, that is where the movie theatre was located. The
second thing is their inn was shown here as an intermediary step, pre-nursing
home and that they are not ready to proceed on in the future, it is realted
to the nursing home and they would like to set that off from the retirement
community for future use by the nursing home. At the same, the Pell
garage propety which is located where~the garage is located and is going
to be cleaned up, that whole parcel is owned bythe Church. That would
be merged back into this parc~ in sort of a swap with the corner piece.
Plamning Board
Page 4 3/30/87
Ms. Wickham: Let me present a survey which shows the lines that they
are thinking of. Ail the parcels are owned by the San Simeon Retirement
Community, except the garage piece which is owned bythe Church and the
nursing home is a separate entity.
Pastor Ettlemeyer: 0n~the site plan ther is an inn. The inn is the
intermediary or the domiciliary facility which is the step between the
cottages and the nursing home. That has a basically the concept is
simple cleaning and dining with effeciency kind of apartments for people
who need to be looked in on and cared for but not in nursing home kind
of fadility.
Ms. Wickham: Where the yellow lines are that corner on the Main Road
is where the drive in movie theatre was. This piece over here was the
future proposal for the inn.
Mr. Ward: That would be kept part of the nursing home.
Ms. Wickham: I imagine they would want to keep it sepate just because
they don't have any definite plans.
Pastor Ettlemeyer; This application, the plan always to keep from builidng
on the corner of Main Road and~.~Chaple Lane because of the possibl~ty
of in.pthe future building a new church. They did not, the congregation
does not want to have business or anyting else in that area. It is for
the purpose of building a church as an advantageous place for that, at
one time, they even talked about converting the church into a chaple
arrangement with a common barriarn. With regard to the nursing home
because it is already_established and doing very well in t~rms of the
staffing and everything from meals to homes, the nursing home has become
the parent organization to run the domiciliary care facility. With the
nutrisionists and everything else you have, it is more advantageous to
have it~linked to the nursing home. That is the reason for that.
Ms. Wickham: I am a johny-come-lately on this whole project, but I
think the original scheme was for a separate set off. So that basically
is the jist of the type of subdivision we are proposing. There are a
couple of changes onthe site plan itself. In reviewing that~fuzther
it has really been decided that that type of large building is not necessary
to run this thing, you can mun this from one of the units and instead
they thought it might make more sense to make a recreational building.
So, what they would like to propose is eiiminationof that building
and instead so the residents of this community would have something
right in their block. It will also cut down on a rather large parking
field that was created for that. The second thing, I would like you
advise on, I have another map, on the other side, up here there is an
access provided out on to the North Road, we are considering the possiblity
of, we thought that should be eliminated for a couple of reasons. Number
one, it isa very bad situation for traffic on that corner. Number two
that p~rcel is set off separately, the retirement could make, hut they
really don't need it because they have other access from here to here.
There would be a lot of traffic and there was alot of extra space.
Pastor Ettlemeyer: You may recall that the State at one time had not
given us permission to have an entrance on the North Road.
Planning Board Page 5 3/30/87
Mr. Lessard: Yes, it was turned down by the County. They said no way
would we allow that.
Ms. Wickham: And, they could also go out here.
out better. Would you like me to summarize?
Mr. Orlowski: Please
Ms. Wickham: Two things, number one, a subdivision, setting off the
two corner pieces.
Mr. Orlowski: This is for mortgages purposes only.
Ms. Wickham: That is how it came to us.
Mr. Ward: Working on that step, the business property on the corner,
would you put covenants and restrictions on that for its use.
Ms. Wickham: I don't know.
Pastor Ettlemeyer: As far as I know, the only use they proposed for
that was for a church.
MR. Lessard: If you cut that off, there is a possiblity that you could
loose that business status. That was combined with the M zone back in
1978. If you separate it, you may not be able to use if for business.
Mr. Ward: If you subdivide it, it becomes a separate parcel and could
be sold.
Pastor Ettlemeyer: At one time it was discussed that the administration
building would go there, but we are actually eliminating that.
Mr. WArd: I guess we can understand the dilema you may be up against,
but interms of separation of that, but the concerns we would have as
a Planning Board would be if they are separated it means that it coud
be sold off. That wold be a concern because what we looked at was an
overall plan.
Pastor Ettlemeyer: That would be transferred to the Church
Mr. Orlowski: So, you are doing it just for title purposes.
Pastor Ettlemeyer: I guess that is part of it?
Mr. Orlowski: So, you are looking for a three lot subdivsion with an
amended site plan.
Ms. Wickham: And, merging the lot, and the second thing is an amended
s±te plan to eliminate the hotel and some of the parking with it. And
redesign the pool house with two tennis courts and the question is what
do you want to do about that access.
Mr. Orlowski: Have you taken into account any of the density-that has
come off with what is there nQw.
It would probably work
lanning Board Page 6 3/30/87
r. Orlwoski: We will have to run this by our Attorney.
astor Ettlemeyer: What if they decided not to do the inn the density
or the overall project were based on "x" amount. I know Mr. Wickham
equired that then, so the density was brought up along time ago. So~
don't think it wouldmake a difference.
Wi~kham: I don~t think it would make a difference, I tried to find
in the file, and I couldn't find it.
· Orlowski: We will have to look into it, Mr. Bryer will review this.
· Wickham: Time is really important, and I wondered if you are going
be meeting with Bob.
r. Orlowski: Well, we will have to.
astor Ettlemeyer: There will be a decrease inconstruction because there
ill not be a motel and administration building.
r. Orlowski: What we will have to do is calculate that and make sure
hat we are not cutting off something that has zero density on it already.
here is no problem, but we have to covenant that in any approval and
will have to covenant that.
r. Ward: In themean time, why don't you look about the possiblity of
aving access through the existing parking rather than have it in a cul-de-sac.
r. Lessard: They took a hands down on access to 48 right from the first
my.
astor Ettlemeyer: That is why we moved the Main entrance down on Chapel
Rne.
Wickham: That is why we thought of eliminating it altogether. Maybe
could show that as a future. That map is the same one as the signed
~e.
~stor Ettlemeyer: The arrangement we had on this is that the Pell property
nich has the garages on it is still deeded in the Churches because it
~s a mortgage on it. What we are goSng to do is swapping a lot and giving
~e deed to the piece out here to the Church in exchange. It works out
~r us to be able to.
~. Orlowski: Okay, Mr. Bryer will review it and call you following
£s review.
%e 8:00 p.m. meeting with Mr. Robert Lawless with regard to the site
[an proposal for John Xikis was cancelled due to illness.
PLanning Board Page 7 3/30/87
The following new proposals were set for a field inspection:
1. Sidney and Robert Olmstead - 3 lots on 3.3 acres at Westphalia
Ienue, Mattituck. Mr. Orlowski stated that he would abstain from
y discussion with regard to this prposal since he is a relative of
he applicant.
2. John Simon Estate - lot line change at County Route 48, Peconic.
3. Adams Associates - 4 lots on 7.6 acres at Cox Neck Lane and Middle
Road, Mattituck.
~. Katherine Bitses - amendment to previous subdivision to increase
~ize of the existing lots located at Main Bayview Road, Southold.
5. Frank Sawicki - 3 lots at Soundview Avenue, Southold
5. Chester Mayer - lot line change at King Street, Orient
I. Elvira Morgenstern - lot line change at a right-of-way off Indian
eck Lane, Peconic.
oo Bee Realty -Mr. David Kapell, agent fo~ the applicant was present
~or the Board's review of this proposal. This proposal is for a lot
Line change at Lighthouse Road, Southold.
Er. Kapell: I would like to give you another set of surveys which have
:he directions done bythe surveyor.
~r. Orlowski: Could you give us your intent of the lot line change.
~r. Kapell: To increase the size of the property that includses the pond.
Ir. Orlowski: At that point, are you going to subdivide the pond lot.
Ir. Kapell: We may, yes.
· Ward: Why not get a map with the wole thing.
Mr. Kapell: It is two titles, it is not held by the same entities.
I would be glad to refer any comments back to the principals to see what
they would say.
Ir. Orlowski: These are separate.
Ir. Kapell : Yes.
ir. Ward: Culd you cluster and leave the pond in open space?
~r. Kapell: How many lots would we get?
Mr. Ward: Well, you would need a yield map.
Planning Board
Page 8 3/30/87
Mr. Orlwoski: Do you have stakes here on Lighthouse Road, where the line
is going to be moved. Could you stake the existing and proposed lines
so the Board can take a look at it.
Mr. Kapell: Yes, sure.
Mr. Orlowski: Just to give us an idea, and Mr. Ward's comments, if you
want to follow up on it.
Mr. Kapell: We will take a look at that.
Charles Bowman-
Mr. Charles Bowman, applicant, was present for the Board's review.
Mr. Orlwoski: Next, we have Charles Bowman, 2 lots on 7 acres on
North Bayview Road,Southold. I believe this is at the trustees rzght
now and they declared a type I action.
Mr. Bowman: The Trustees have tabled because there have been some discussions
if they should be lead agency or the Planning Board. More appropr±ately
it seems it should be in front of this Board. We have received DEC approval
and perhaps after your field inspection you would like to contact us
to discuss this. I think it was the Trustees statement that they could
not approve the house without the lot being created.
Mr. Orlowski: Alright, we will get down and take a look at it. You are
right, they would have declared significant environment impact.
Mr. Bowman: I missed the Trustee meeting, but the line on the map was
verified by the DEC.
Mr. Orlowski: Alright, we will look at it.
Irwin Thompson site plan
Mr. Garrett Strang was present for a~pre-submission conference to discuss
this site plan for Irwin Thompson for construction of a retail store
located at Main Road, Southold.
Mr. Strang: What I have submitted to the Board at this time, strictly
for comments and consideration on behalf of Irwin Thompson is the possibility
of developing an additonal building for retail purposes on ~hah site.
The site being the corner of Bousseau and MainRoad, where Thompson's
Empo=ium presently sits~ What is being proposed is a one-story frame
building, 2,000 square feetin area to be situated to the North of the
existing frame building there and to the east of the Emporium. The nature
of the use of the building, of the 2,000 square feet, we are going to
have 1,400 square feet allocated for retail use and the remaining 6,000
squre feet will be for storage. There was or presntly is an existing
Planning Board Page 9 3/30/87
Mr. Strang: garage in this general vicinity which is being used as a
storage huilidng which will be removed. The storage that that building
has provided will be incorporated into the new building. The 1400 square
feet necessitates we provide 14 parking spaces which we have tucked in
the back there. I believe we are able to meet all the zoning criteria.
The question at this point is what the Board's questions and feelings
are at this time, if favorable, we will develop this further and make
a more formal presentation.
Mr. Orlowski: Have this been set off or subdivided, these properties?
Mr. STrang: That was, that particular map that you are looking at shows
one lot, but to the best of my knowledge, it is two separate lots.
Mr. Ward: Mr. Thompson was in with an overall plan about a year ago
with one development.
Mr. Strang: Right, I think, part of that, I am not sure really benasue
I was not a part to that. I know he did mention to the Board at one
particular point because he was proposing office use onthe easterly parcel.
I believe he may have been considering merging the two separate parcels
but this does not have any thing to do with the easterly parcel it is
still the westerly parcel which is about an acre, a little over an acre.
Mr. Ward: What is happening with the proposed project.
Mr. Strang: One of the things we will be doing, the parcel is only 85'
in width and he wants to make it 100' so we will move that lot line
over. He has no plans onthe easterly parcel other than.
M. Mullen: Weren't we looking for some other access.
Mr. Ward: We had talked about an east/west access along the railroad
track.
Mr. Strang: At this point in time, he has no intention or specific ideas
in any event. Right now the intention is to develop this and the easterly
piece would be developed in the future remains to be seen or whether
he sells it or whatever.
Mr. Orlwoski: The existing building, what would that be retail sales?
Mr. Strang: Presently it is office and I believe there is a building
contractor there too. With health associates too.
Mr. Mullen: So, there are alot of uses. What about the garage?
Mr. STrang; The existing garage will be removed.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, we will get out and look~ any more questions, (none)
okay, we will get back to you following a~ field inspection.

John Senko
Mr. Garrett Strang explained to the Board that as the architect and agent,
he had not received the landscape plans as per the Board's request. Therefore,
he asked that the matter be held over for the next meeting so he would
have an opportunity to submit the necessary plans.
Angel Shores Section I and II
Mr. James Cron, Esq. was present to discussth'ese proposals with the Board.
Mr. Bodwell and Mr. Reese, of Henderson and Bodwell, engineering consultants,
were present to also review this proposal with the Board.
Mr. Orlowski: Is this map the same one that the Town Board granted a
waiver in regards to the two-acre azoning.
Mr. Cron: Are you talking about section I
Mr. Ortowski: Section I
Mr. Cron: It is the same map with two minor revisions.
Mr. Orlwoski: We did take a look at it and the Board had alot of questions.
With all this land and putting both projects together Would it be possible
to cluster them using the density and staying out of this marsh land
or wetland. I think that is our number one question.
Mr. Cron: Actually, that hasn't been pursued at all. The propsal is
as drawn, we know will meet the requirements of the zoning in the Town
of Southold and we would like to proceed as proposed.
Mr. Ward: There are some problems with certain lots in that particular
map. Our concern is to pull the subdivision out of the fragile area
and cluster it. and stay out of the fragile areas.
Mr. Cron: Which area.
Mr. Ward; I am talking you have roads running th~n~gh low area. Without
getting in to nit picking, we just feel that the approach is not good.
Mr. Cron: Could you indicate what lots you have a problem with?
Mr. Ward: Well, there is alow spot here which will be a problem.
Putting houses this close to the wetlands, when we don't have to do it
is just not the right way to go. This is an ideal subdivision for a
cluster to keep it oun of the problems, and preserve the natural environment.
Mr. Bodwell: You understnad the delays in trying to get the one-acre
subdivision approved. We have tried to layout so that it complies.
We have received DEC wetland area and have so designated it. The only
significant change is that we have set a well area which is two lots
on the Road. If the well storage is. abandoned then the two lots indicated
for the well would revert back to building lots.
Planning B~Lord
Mr. Cron:
expressing
if that pal
we would wl
Page 11 3/30/87
The change came about as a result of the Village of Greenport
an interest in extending the water to that area. Obviously
'ticular lots would not be needed for an on-site water supply
Lnt them as building ltos.
Mr. Bodwell: Most of the lots are oversized and so that we can have significant
buffers. Are you suggesting that if we cluster and include both sides
of the project onthis side that we could reduce the lot sizes and put
the lots on the farmland.
Mr. Ward: Within reason, we haven't checked. You have probably developed
a yield map. Essentially, what we are saying is if you take a step backwards
and determine how you can put it on the map, that is what we wouldlike
to look at.
Mr. Cron: So, in affect, yon would be preserving the one acre density
in the whole area.
Mr. Bodwell: Except that they would be reducing the density.
Mr. Orlowski: The DEC Said that wasn't significant.
Mr. Bodwell: The DEC said that was not significant.
Mr. Ward: Rather than make it a hard and fast line, why don't you take
the spirit of the ordinance. Put the spirit of what we are talking about
together and see what you can come up with.
Mr. Orlowski: Is there any reason to cut off that tie to Tery Waters,
Rambler Road.
Mr. Bodwell: WE felt that there was not reason to continue that road.
Mr. Orlowski: If you put the two together and cluster away and have
two accesses on you own. We are still looking for another access with
the two sections tied together. Using that density and cluster.
Mr. Bodwell: You want another access for two sections.
Mr. Orlwoski: You will be running another loop system in there I am
sure.
Mr. Bodwell: I guess what you are saying is you want another access.
Mr. Orlwoski: Most likely, both may be onto Bayview.
Mr. Wa~d: Also, inthe broad brush when you cluster try to maintain some
buffer against Bayview as well as the wetlands. Axctually you are providing
water here so on the one acre you could be down to ½ acre on the one
acre side ~hich'was grandfathered.
Mr. Orlowski: Actually, that is a touchy subject, we have talked to
the County. If you have water they might allow less, like 3/4 of an
acre. I d~n't know if they will allow less but you might know the answer
to tht already.
Planning Board
Page 12 3/30/87
Mr. Bodwell: I would rather keep one acre recognizing that we will be
serving the Cove too. We are willing to reduce the lot size and provide
a buffer on the road and buffer on the wetlands.
Mr, Orlowski: Well, we will like the open space and it may help you
out with less roads and drainage.
Mr. Cron: I would like to request at this time, since it is such a radical
departure from What we presented that the Board outline its specifics
and recommendations and requirements in a letter so I can send it to
my client. Obviously Mr, Laudis has been through the cluster before
and it was not acceptable at that time and without something specific
to present to him I would have little or no opportunity to present this
for your approval or disapproval.
Mr. Orlowski: We can do that , at this time, we can start coordinating
and send out to the appropriate agencies with regard to SEQRA.
Mr. Bryer:- We also need a Long,.Envi~onmental Assessment~Fo~m on Angel'
Shore~ I and fi.' --
8:30 p.m.
Mr. Charles Matthews was present to discuss the major subdivision
proposal of Harold Reese for property at East Marion,referred
to as "The Cove Properties"
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, next order of business is an 8:30 p.m.
appointment, Charles Matthews has scheduled an appointment
at the Board's request to discuss the subdivision proposal
located at East Marion to be known as "Cove Beach"; property
owned by Harold Reese.
Mr. Matthews: Good evening Mr~ Chairman,-my~name is Charlie
Matthews. I am an attorney with offices at 71 ~ew St.,Huntington,
Long Island, I am here this evening with Harold Reese and'
on his behalf inconjunction with this proposed subdivision map.
YOU requested a Environmental. Assessment Form. Mr. Young is
here and we have the assessment form. (presented assessment
form to Chairman).
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, right now we have a 34 lot sketch plan
before us, are you going to withdraw that?
Mr. Matthews: Well, withdraw or amend it, however you do
it, what we want is 40.
Mr. Orlowski: Right, what we want to look at is one plan.
Planning Baord Page 13 3/30/87
Mr. Matthews: Then we submit one with 40, we will withdraw
it and submit the other one. You know where the other lots
would go, there is no change in the map except the other lots
are situated on that open space near the entrance. Now, you
ask that I discuss with you %his Sec%ion A 106-32. I have
copies of it here if the Board doesn't, if. you want to pass
. . or no~ .
them down. This has to dow±th whether~we are entitled to more
than 20 lots on this parcel. You have a provision with respect
to the subdivision of land that a subdivision containing twenty
lots or more and this has more than 20 lots have at least
two street ~connections to existing public streets and this
has only one street connect&on~~ But, that Section specifically
says "if such exists" there is no other street frontage here
so it doesn't exist. Consequently, I submit that that section
has no applicability to this particular subdivision, since
no other street connection exists~but this one. Now, you
have a yield formula. I have computations based upon your
yield formula, we have here sufficient acreage to warrant,
we believe, 42 lots based upon this calculation which I have
just handed up, where you.take the acreage, take 20% off of
it and you divide by the 80,000 square feet and we come up
with 41.985 lots. I know that you have been considering that
the 3.9 acre area that is wetland should be some how subtracted
from the total acreage. You know, we do have a constitution
in this land and that constitution provides that you don't
take a persons land unles you can condemn fi and pay for it.
So long as Mr. Reese owns all of this acreage including the
wetlands, he is entitled consideration of that wetland area.
Mr. Matthews: If the State of New York, or the Town of Southold
or some other municiple agency wants to condemn the property
and pay for it and he no longer owns it, then I can see that
you can subtra.ct it. But until that comes to pass it is still
his private property and part of the subdivision. And,he
is entitled to be considered in conjunction with the clustering
which is part and parcel of this proposal. Now, that being
the case, he is entitled to 42 lots under your yield formula,
we are only asking for 40. I submit that he is entitled to
those lots and that anything less than that is confiscation,
pure and simple, pure and simple. If we have zoning, we have
regulations and were to treat everybody alike under the Constitution,
all we are asking for is equal treatment, don't treat us differently.
Don't say that because some prior owner indicated to your
Board he was willing to accept something less that Mr. Reese
has to accept that. Or, that you are imposing this restriction
on everybody in Town. If you are going to impose this on
everybody in Town, all well and good. But don't single Mr.
Reese out and this subdivision out and say well, yea, we have
a yield formula but we are going to use a different yield
formula for this subdivision. We are willing to take something
less than we are entitled to and as I say, under your own
yield formula we are entitled to 42 acres no matter how you
slice it. And, we are willing to cut that back to 40 and
go on that basis. And, that is our proposition and our submission
to you and I don't see from a legal standpoint any other way
to go, unless you feel that the Constitution ~f ~h~ United
· Planning Baord Page 14 3/30/87
States and the Constitution of the State of New York is something
that can be just ignored. I was in the Supreme Court this
morning arguing the same thing against another municipality.
Everybody in this County seems to ~hink that we have got to
stop building and private property is of no value to anybody
and we are just going to stop people from building period.
Except that the Constitution says that you cannot, through
regulation, prohibit people from using their property and
if you do that is a taking, and you have to pay for it. You
don't want to pay for this, there is an awful lot of this
property being set aside for common ownership or wetland and
it will make a beautiful subdivision. And people will enjoy
living here and enjoy this community and I don't know why
you want to stop people from being able to so live in this
society, and enjoy life as they might like to. I will answer
any questions if I can. Mr. Young is here.
Mr. Orlowski: Any questions from the Board, Mr. Mullen?
Mr. Mullen: Not at this time.
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Latham?
Mr. Latham: No, I have no questions.
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Ward?
Mr. ~ard: Just as we were to treat you equal we would probably
go with the twenty lots.
Mr. ~atthews: What does this statute say when it says "if
suchexists". When itt~o~'t exist it dSesn't exist I can't
create it. If you want~a~other public road through there somehow
fine, we will have another access.
Mr. Orlowski: I believe it says if it doesn't exist.then you are
limited to the twenty lots.
Mr. Matthews: No, it says such subdivision containing 20 lots
or more shall have at least two street connections with existing
streets, if they exist. If they don't exist you can't have
them. I can see if I had two street frontages End I have
a street frontage in the back somewhere and I just wanted
to go out to the one street frontage and not to the other
street frontage and I have more than 20 lots, you can make
me have another access to that other street frontage. But,
if it doesn't exist I can't provide and you can't by this
statute say, alright since it does not exist, we are going
to condemn half of your property. If you are going to condemn
half of the property and say that I don't have this zoning,
I have six acre zoning or something, fine, pay me for it.
You don't take a person~ property that way. If it-existed
fine, we would provide it, it doesn't exist.
Mr. Mullen: Well, I feel that we are at a disadvantage because
we don't have legal counsel here tonight and as far as I am
concerned I will have no comment until we have that opportunity
to do so.

Mr. Latham: He came to defend your position and not help us

Mr. Matthews: We lawyers, I suppose, should go home. We look

Mr. Matthews: I had called him to see if he could arrange

out. What I am trying to~do it avoid litigation. And, this
is the way to try to avoid it, work something out. But, if
litigiation is all you ask for, it doesn't bother me.
Mr. Mullen: I would still like to refer it to our attorney.
Mr. Matthews: Alright, you can, that is why we met with him.

Mr. Ward: No questions.
Mr. Ward do you
Mr. Orlowski: Mr. Bryer do you have any questions?
Mr. Bryer: I have two. I read the part that you ]ust gave
us and I think you are taking that out of text, I think that
"if such exists" refers to the Official Map of the Town of
Southold, if you would read that again if your English is
grammatically correct and then if you also look at Section
100-33 F you. will see that dead end streets will not exceed
800 feet in length and that is a dead end street. And that
is all I have to say, if you would just let us know what you
feel about those two points and we will listen.
Mr. Matthews: On blocks exceeding 800 feet it says the Planning
Boardmay. require reservation of a 10 foot easement, to provide
for the crossing of underground utilities. I don't see where
that has any application at all.
Mr. Bryer- : It says blocks shall not exceed 800 feet in length ....
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, what we, what the Board wants now is a
letter in writing withdrawing the sketch approval that you
have right now on the property and a letter submitted a map
that you would like to submit and at this time, to speed
things up, we can start the coordinate with the other agencies
and send an environmental Assessment Form to those other agencies
Mr. Oriowski: and start the SEQRA process.
Mr. Matthew: Okay.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay.
Mr. Matthew: Thank you.

Subdivision at Peconic
Mr. Henry E. Raynor, Jr., agent, was present for the Board's re iew of
this proposal for 23 lots on 52 acres at County Route 48, Peco~c.
It was noted that there is only one ingress/egress and there are more
than 20 lots proposed, this is not permitted as per the Code. It was
also noted that the cul-de-sac exceeds 800' in length which is also not
permiteed as per the Code. Mr Raynor asked if the Board could suggest
anything which would enable compliance. It was suggested that a cross
street be established for future connection. It was also suggested
that the proposal be revised for 20 lots since there~±s only one access
road into the subdivision (pursuant to Section A106-32). The remaining
lots may be created upon establishment of a second access road, and could
be a future section. It was the consensus of the Board to hold action
and an environmental review until the revised maps are received. The
Board would further review the road layout with the Planner and advise
Mr. Raynor if they have any further comments.
Theodore Petikas site plan
Petikas - Mr. James Cron~ esq. was present for the Board's
review of this site plan located at County 48, and Sound Road,
Greenport for construction of a restaurant. The Board questioned
if all the parking proposed was necessary for a take-out restaurant.
Mr. Cron stated that for the number of ~ustomers expected
to be served it is necessary. Mr. Orlowski questioned if
curbing would be on the corner of County Route 48 and Main
Road. Mr. Cron stated that there would be curbin9 there and
no curb cut, no access to County 48, the access will be off
of Sound Road, at the northeast corner. Mr. Latham stated
that this was a bad intersection and there was a fatal accident
at this intersection a short time ago. Mr. Latham stated
that he did not feel that it was a suitable place for this
type of propoaal since the intersection is danwerous. Mr.
Bryer stated that the way the proposal is drawn on the sate
plan it appears that the B zoned property is separate from
the ~ zoned property~ because there is a line with metes and
bounds separatin9 the two zones. Mr. Bryer stated that if
Planing Board
page 30 3/30/87
the A zone is considered part of the landscaping th~ it meets
the required landscaping, however, if the landscaping is only
in the B zone, then more landscaping is needed. Mr. Bryer
stated that it was his recommendation that the lot be shown
as one lot without the proposed lot line running through it.
Mr. Cron stated that it is not one lot, according to the zoning
map which he has, it is shown as two, and it always has been
shown as two. Mr. Cron stated that the line which Mr. Bryer
was referring to was a use line between the light and the
A - residential. Mr. Orlowski que~stioned if the property was
single and separate. Mr. Cron stated that it was not single
and separate as far as owne~hip but as far as use. Mr. Orlowski
questioned Mr. Lessard with.regard to his-opinion on this
matter. Mr. Lessard stated that this ms a unique situation
by the fact that you have so much of the area as an A zone,
under Section 100-22. Mr. Cron requested clarification of
this section. Mr. Lessard stated that this would mean that
the property would have to be treated as an A zone since more
of it was zoned that way. Mr. Lessard stated that he would
have to check with the Town Attorney with regard to this.
Mr. Cron stated that he disagreed with Mr. Lessard stating
that this section speaks of one ownership, which they have;
however, it also speaks of more than 50% in a less restrictive
district and this is not the case with this property. Mr.
Cron stated that what it involves is an extension of the more
restrictive use into the less restricted district, in effect,
it is almost an amnesty for 30' Mr. Cron stated that they
are not asking for that, they are asking for this property,
be used soley for a commercial venture without any regard
to the A-residential piece. Mr. Cron stated that Mr. Lessard's
interpretation is contradictory to what the Code says. Mr.
Lessard stated that Mr. Cron's interpretation is completely
opposite from what is stated. Mr. Lessard questioned if the
A zone is less restrictive than the B zone in Mr. Cron's opinion.
Mr. Cron stated no, and that is why that section does not
apply. Mr. Cron stated that if more than 50% of the area
of the lot lies in the less restrictive district and Mr.
Cron.stated that the approximately 9,000 square feet is less
than 11,000 square feet so the more restricted area is not
more than 50% of the lot, it is less than 50%. Mr. Cron stated
that if the lot were greater than the A-residential piece
that 30' of that area could be used, however, he was not proposing
to do this, so he did not see how this section applied. Mr.
Lessard stated that Mr. Cron's opinion was exactly the opposite
of the code. Mr. Lessard stated that if the lot in the less
restricted is greater than 50~ you can use 30' in the more
restricted area. Mr. Bryer questioned if the lots were merged.
Mr. Cron stated that they were not merged. Mr. Lessard stated
that they were merged and in the same ownership. Mr. Cron
stated that the common ownership only has to do with the ownership
of both parcels, but nothing to do with the use. Mr. Lessard
stated that the lots are merged. Mr. Cron stated that he
disagreed with-this because the reason there are two separate
uses are because there are two separate zones. Mr. Bryer

Petikas cont.
stated that a zoning lin~does n6~ ~ut~mati~ally ~k~a s~bdivision.
Mr. Cron stated that it does as far as use. Mr. Bryer stated
that the was referring to the subdivision of land, not the
subdivision of uses. Mr. Cron stated that you use land as
far as what is permitted. Mr. Bryer stated that the lots
are merged and Mr .Cron stated that the lots would become
merged only if you have the same zoning on both lots. Mr.
Lessard stated that that is not the law. Mr. Orlowski stated
that the Board would not refer this to the Building Department
for certification since there was a disagreement. Mr. Orlowski
requested that Mr. Cron address this matter in writing to
the Board and they will refer to the matter to their attorney
to determine the legalities of this. Mr. Cron stated that
he would submit a letter to the Board addressing Section 100-22
for the Board to review with their attorney.
On a motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Latham, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board amend the site plan approval
(resolution of June 9, 1986) to read as follows:
