7:45 p.m. Public hearing on the question of the minor subdivision
of Raeburn / Murphy located off a right-of-way from Bridge
Lane, Cutchogue.
Mr. Orlowski: Now, right on time, 7:45 p.m. public hearing
on the question~of approval of the minor subdivision of Raeburn/
Murphy located off a right-of-way from Bridge Lane, Cutchogue.
This has been around for quite a while. We have proof of
publication~n the Suffolk Times signed by Richard Williams,
notorzed by Mary Degnan, also proof of publication in the
Long Island Traveler Watchman signed by Pat Woods and notorized
by Barbara Forbes. This is something that has been existing,
as we went over at the last meeting, I won!t go over this
meeting. A lot of our questions have been answered and our
Town Attorney has recommended that we go to a final hearing
on this. At this time I will ask if there are any objections
to this minor subdivision?
Mr. Steve Angel: I would like to note an appearance but not
an objection. My name is Steve Angel, Esseks, Hefter and
Angel in Riverhead, and I represent next door neighbor Mary
Murphy.
Mr. Orlowski: Well, I am asking for objections only.
Mr. Angel: We don't know if we have an objection yet and we
have just conferenced andwe would like to know if we could
adjourn this hearing.
Mr. Bruer, Esq.: I don't have any objection.
Mr. Orlowski: Adjourn the hearing?
Mr. Angel: Yes, because we don't understand., we need time.
Mr. Bruer: I understand that he doesn't at this particular
point because he has not gotten the information to digest.
All my prior correspondence has been with Mr., .a. lawyer by
the name of Mr. Frederick Tedeschi who was my understanding
represented Mrs. Raeburn and apparantely did not. Mr. Angel's
office had and'they have some questions as to what we are
doing here. I have no objection but I am willing to proceed
obviously.
Mr. Orlowski: Do you have an objection?
Mr. Angel: Well, itt me tell you the circumstances of our
involvement. We were contacted by Mrs. Murphy and retaihed
by Mrs. Murphy to review some litigation that resulted in
the division of property you see here before you, the three
lot subdivision? It was created as part of a settlement of
a lawsuit that was settled in 1978~or.1979. And, we were
looking through the files here on Fridayand that was the first'
inkling we had that anything was on for today. We did not
even have a chance to examine the files or speak to Mr. Bruer
Planning Board Page 3 6/1/87
Mr. Angel: until just now. I don't know what is involved.
Obvioulsy our clients property, which is lot No. 3 on the
proposed minor subdivision needs an easement of access .which
we are discussing right now. Apparently Mr. Bruer is raised
an issue of the availability of a utility easement to serve
the property which I am not even aware of. There is obviously
a set back problem with the property, I don't know if the
property has gone to the Suffolk County Department of Health
Services application process. I am in a complete fog. Ms.
Murphy was not give notice of the application though her
property obviously was impacted by it. I am her-~representative
and I would like a brief period of time, maybe until your
next meeting to confur with Mr. Bruer, look at his maps, see
what the impact of the proposed subdivision and the covenant
and the reuirements are going to be. I have gotten copies
of the letter to you and your letter back to the Town Attorney
and Mr. Bruer's letter and I am now looking at the surveys
and I would like to have that opportunity to digest all of
this stuff. I may not even oppose this, I may loin in the
application, but'at this point I am in the dark.
Mr. Orlowski: Any suggestions Ms. Scopaz?
Ms. Scopaz: The decision is the Board's whether it wishes
to adjoin the hearing or leave it open and continue with it
at the next hearing or not. You have gone through the trouble
to advertise it ....
Mr. Angel: If I could make a suggestion, I would have no objection
to, even though I have an interested party, I have no objection
to listening to the .public if anybody is here on this and so
that they don't have to come back and you can hear their position.
I would ~ke to reserve my comments until the future because
I am not educated enough.
Mr. Orlowski: You could address the comments to the Board
in writing.
Mr. Angel: I would like to have it kept open because I just
don't know what I am getting into. It is a situation as I
expressed before where we just had really no notice, Mrs.
Murphy did take oppostion to this proposal before the Board
of Appeals, but for reasons that may have been inadvertant,
she absolutely had no notice and it obviously impacts her'property.
She is the owner of 1/2 of the property involved.
Mr. Bruer: As to that point I have no reason to object
to Mrs. Murphy saying this, I just want to make it clear
that it was brought to my'attention based upon October~
ZBA hearing at which point Mrs. Murphy had written comments
to the Board at this point and I had assumed that she had
followed it on since, I just want to make sure that nobody
figured I mislead anybody in that she said she would have
representative at ail meetings. And, as I said I have no
objection to them putting whatever lmput she wants on it.
I think it is to his client~'s benefit.

Page 4 6/1/87
Mr. Angel: I am not disputing that, I am just completely
ignorant ....
Mr. Orlowski: Well, let me just ask this of the public.
there any other objections to this subdivsion? Are there
any endorsements of this subdivision?
Are
Mr. Bruer: Yes.
Mr. Edwards: Is it legal to adjourn the hearing?
Mr. Orlowski: Yes, we can adjourn it~
Mr. Bruer: Not adjourn it, recess it.
Mr. Orlowski: Not adjourn it, recess it.
Mr. Bruer: Keep it open.
Mr. Edwards: You don't have to readvertise it?
Mr. Emilita: NO.
Mr. Bruer: Well, I believe there is a lengthy record with
respeCt to t~s file. This probably is the third public hearing
with respect to this subdivision. What we are here for is
I think, part of our problem is that Ms. Raeburn and Ms. Murphy I don't
think could agree; or at least Ms. Raeburn doesn't think that they
could agree with respect to at least a number of the covenants
which were imposed in 1979, i.e. the continuation of the right
of way through Lot NO. 3, the Murphy lot, 2. going back to
the County recommendations of their letter items no. 6 and
7; that is something you need an agreement on and also we
ask relief from item No. 1 of that letter because we already
have Health Department approval to put us in to that 100'
situation, we are all in a tailspin over. I would again
ask that the Board reconfirm its approval of 1979 for the
various reasons that, I think that was a three, four or five
year application before~the Board at that time, I think it
started in 1976 and culminated in 1979, for all the reasons
that were true then I think are true now and I am still asking
the Board for relief I asked for in my letter and r~ake part
of this report.
Mr. Orlowski: What is the Board's pleasure?
Mr~-Edwards: I move that we keep the hearing open until our
next regular meeting.
Mr. Mullen: This has been pending since 1978 or 1979 so another
month ....
Mr. Orlowski: Two weeks.
Mr. Latham: Let's get it done right here.
Mr. Orlowski: Do I have a motion to recess?

Mr. Angel: Tell me a date?
Mr. Orlowski: June 15.
Mr. Lessard: I would strongly suggest that both of you people
study that right-of-way because there is an awful lot of grey
area there and alot of to nowhere that should be cleared out.
Mr. Bruer: It is my Understanding, I have spent considerable
amount of time with Mr. Shea of Chicago Title. The rlght-of-w y
that, the problem is, is going to the adjoining property.
There is no question that it goes halfway to lot NO. 2 here.
Mr. Lessard: How do you get there from Bridge Lane, that
is what I am talking about.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, we will proceed.

Carmine and Donna Marie DiSpirito - The Board reviewed this
site plan for construction of a two-family house located at
Young's Avenue, Southold. This proposal has received a special
exception from the Board of Appeals and has been certified
by the Building Department. The Planner, Valerie Scopaz recommended
that the Board ask for a more detailed site plan so that the
Board can see if the house is in keeping with the character
of the neighborhood. Ms. Scopaz also noted to the%Board that
the house is proposed for the back of the lot so it will be
be i~ proximity to the back yards of the new houses which
are being build and the existing house. It was felt that
more of a buffer should be requested and Ms. Scopaz asked
that the Board consider a 10' buffer planted next to the adjacent
property, to at least protect the privacy of the existing
residence° ~his is unde~ the jurisdiction of the Board for site plan.
Planning Board Page 11 4/1/87
On a motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. EdWards, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board approve the
site plan for Carmine and Donna Marie Di Spirito for construction

existing houses.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski,Mullen, Latham, Edwards
Mullen Motors - The Board reviewed this site plan for a parking
lot located at Cottage Place, Southold..It was noted that
the Board of Appeals had granted a special exception for the
proposaland it had received certification from the Building
Department. Ms._Scopaz stated that the plan exists~almost
entirely in the residential zone and there are three residences
across the street. She that the plan indicates that the unpaved
area of the parking lot be seeded and in deference to the
existing, established residential character of the neighborhood
she requested that the Board give consideration to requesting
that a row of evergreen bushes to block the cars from the
existing residences. Ms. Scopaz also recommended to the Board
that the lights be in keeping with the residential character~
so the existing residences don't have a flood light beaming
down in their yard. Mr. Orlowski stated that the flood lights
were requested in the parking area and Mr. Lessard enforces
the code with regard to the lights being shielded and not
offensive to the neighbors. Mr. Lessard stated that the lights
would have to be shielded to the property. Mr. Orlowski stated
that the trees in front'~to screen the parking lot would be
a good idea. Mr. Mullen stated that trees may obstruct the
line of visions going out of the parking lot. Mr. Mullen
noted that it is a busy area and he suggested low shrubs,
3 or 4 feet. He was in favor of the buffering but also concerned
about the safety factor. Mr. Lessard suggested that the Board,
if they want shrubbery, that the shrubs be no higher than
30" as on a corner lot so the vision is not blocked. (1000-61-3-19)
On a motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Edwards, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board approve the
site plan for Mullen Motors for a parking lot for employees
only located at Cottage Place, Southold, site plan survey
dated as amended April 7, 1987, subject to:
1. amending the site plan to indicate planting low-growing
shrubbery rather than grass in the front yard.

The Board reviewed this subdivision proposal for 4 lo~s on
13 acres located at Linden Avenue, Cutchogue. This p~oposal
had a final public hearing on April 2~, 19871 before t~e Planning
Board. It was noted that the Suffolk County Planning Commission
had denied the subdivision since they felt that land ocked
parcels would be created. It was noted that the Boar had
considered creating flag lots rather than rights-6f-w~y within
subdivisions. Patricia Moore, Esq. was present as at~ orney
for the applicants. .Mr. Orlowski explained the problem with
regard to'rights-of-way and~.the problem that can occu~ if
they are not properly laid out within the lots of the subdivision.
When the lots within the subdivision are transferred ~he right-of-way
is often left as a separate parcel and this creates a problem
since the right-ofvway can go up for tax sale if the developer
doesn't maintain the taxes on it. There was discussion with
regard to changing the layou~ of the parcels of the proposal
however it was noted that this was tried before and because
of the land configuration this was the best layout of the
lots. It was noted that the Board has previously overridden
the County with regard to this type of denial from the Planning
Commission, however, they were considering looking into the
possiblity of flag lots as~sugge~ed by the County. Mr. Lessard
explained that one right-of-way went up for a tax sale in
Laurel and the buyer came to the Town for a building permit
to construct a house on the land which was a right-of-way
to lots. Mr. Orlowski stated that the Board will review this
matter with their .Attorney and upon a decision advise the
applicant accordingly. Mrs. Moore brought up'discussion with
Planing Board Page 13 6/~/~71
regard to an open space area and pubic access to the ~c~eek
along the Grace Edson Property. Mrs. Moore stated that her
client requested that this not be imposed for the following
reasons: 1. it is in complete contracdition to all the wetlands
ordinances not to traverse the wetlands and 2. it creates
a dangerous parking situation on the road since there is no
parking on Linden Avenue, 3. the hunters who previously enjoyed
the property would be jeopardizing the houses which will be
constructed on the lots. This could put the Town and the
property in a bad situation with regard to liability if someone
where to be injured while on that property. Mrs. Moore stated
that the applicant did not think that the idea of a public
access was proper and he would not agree with it. Mrs~ Moore
requested an extension on the final action of the Board until
an agreement could be worked out on the right-of-way versus
flag lot.
On a motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board grant a 90-day
extension on the final action of the Board on the minor subdivison
map for Winds Way Buildin~ Corp., located at Linden Avenue,
Cutchogue, pursuant to the request of the attorney for the
applicant.

The Board reviewed this subdivision proposal for 4 lots on
11.88 acres at New Suffolk Avenue, Cutchogue. This proposal
had a public hearing before the Planning Board on Apri~ 27,
1987. It was noted that the revised subdivision map showing
the right-of-way extending to the northerly lot line of the
property had been received, however, the drainage plan had~
not. Mrs. Patricia Moore, Esq., attorney for the applicant,
was present. Mr. Bryer had requested more information on
the drainage plan and his information had not yet been submitted
to the Board. Ms. Scopaz stated~to'the Board that she had
