Roger Roth: Mr. Chairman, members of the Boar~, Miss Schultze,
I am a resident of Beixedon I own a home on Hippodrome Pond,
which is concerned with this subdivision. I have lived
here now over 13 years, my family at least 37 before me.
We have noticed problems in the area of this sd called
subdivision which is mainly a drainage problem. The north
side of Main Road is quite a bit higher elevation wise
than the lower side so that when we get these terrential
rains, 2" - 3" of rain in a matter of hours or so, that

Fondly ,
I happen to be an environmental ecologist, I have a degree
from the College of Forestry in Syracuse. I also have a
Doctor's Degree in Agriculture from Cornell University and
my main concern about this subdivision is the ~cology problem
in the Hippodrome Pond. Now, this situation on the North
end of Hipprodrome Pond is all marsh grass, whgre the
drainage comes in and where the lots ~re to fa~e on the pond.
This is the area where the wild fowl nest,.swa~s, the mallerd
ducks and some canadian geese. This type of nesting place
will go by the birds if these lots are zoned aiLd houses
put in. In addition to that, because the drail

Mill Creek drainage from the Hasamomaque Pond,

off the ponds, I feel that the ecology of the pond is going
to be affected and it is now under the jurisdiction of the
wetlands authority here in NY State. But that might be
an objection if you look at it that way. The first point
about the drainage should be a consideration b~ the Highway.
I think that ~s all I have to say. Thank you.

Mr. Orlowski: Thank you. IS there anyone else with objections
to this minor subdivision? Hearing none. Are there any
endorsements of this subdivision?
Charles DeLuca: My name is Charles DeLuca. I ~m the gentlemen
that is applying for this application. I hear~ this gentlemen
say some very interesting things. He calaborates with why
I am putting this application for the subdivision. The farm,
the drainage from that farm is the only threat to the ecology.
]This is why I waited twenty years to put an application
in. There is twenty years I could have made t~e application
when I bought this property. I also am an ecologist and
I also have a home in Beixedon. So, I look fo~ the best
interests of the community because this is my ~ome. And,
as far as the sUbdivision is concerned by putting only

Mr. DeLuca: four lots in over 10 acres, I am maintaining
the structure of this community. The farms is the only
thing that runs off with the pesticide and so forth. The
water that runs into that pond does not come f~om rain,
it comes from the overflow from the pumps from the irrigation.
As far as the wetlands is concerned, you can c~eck with
the conservation people who have washed their hands of the
matter and say that they have no jurisdiction. That land
is high enough for a natural drain and they gave me a
letter to that effect. And that is all I have to say at
this point. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Thank you. Are there any other endorsements
of this subdivision?
William Moore, esq.: My name is William Moore~ from the
law offices of Richard Lark at Cutchogue. We are Mr
DeLuca's attorneys. I have a letter here I would li~e to
g ve the Board that addresses primarily the Suffolk County
Planning Commission's letter of last summer. (MN.Moore submitted
the letter to the Chairman). I will skip the comments
made here and get right to their letter, and address some
of the concerns because it directly relates to what we
are asking you to consider. The County in their wisdom
disapproved the application for subdivision and in doing
so set forth a series of reasons dated August , 1985.
The first of which was that the proposal was gcing to crea~e
land locked parcels. The proposed right-of-way addresses
that problem, more importantly it has been a pcticy of this
Board to not create flag lots so we have access road, but
we found it more reasonable to go with the right-of-way,
and that is a policy of our Board out here. In accordance
with and in complIance with tht policy, so that the question
of landlocked parcels really is not a~propriate for the
way we do things out here and the way we prefer to see
the property subdivided. Their second comment is that it
is obvious, and there must have been doing some clarvoyance
down there, but that Lot No. 1 can be subdivide~ in the
future. So we responded not necessarily directly to
that comment but covenants and restrictions wer~ filed
at your request prohibiting the future division of Lot
No. 1 without prior approval of this Board. I ~hink we
responded on issue No. 2 from the County's letter. Issue
No. 3 and one that was raised here today is interesting.
The County proclaims that the storm water runof~ is going
to go out to the State Road and I think the conversation
here to night is that everyone believes that anything is
going to run from the road down across this property and
not the other way around. A look .at a topographic map would
bear that out. I don't think the water is going ~o run up
hill. Finally , the County suggests a cul-de-sa~ for the
access to these lots. I think this Board has c~nsidered
that and re3ected that suggestion looking at the particular
width of the subject property as not being an appropriate
way to go about that. Additionally, that would prevent
any future connections and that would prevent a road comming
in the from the property to the East. A cul-de-Sac would
more or less prevent any future connection of property
Planning Board Page 4 5/5/86
Mr. Moore: that would adjoin for a continued and rational
set of roads in the subdivision. I believe Mr. DeLuca addressed
the question of storm water runoff and evironmental concerns.
He had a negative declaration last summer, the map shows
a 100' setback up and above where you will not be down on
thewater. If you have any questions, Mr. DeLuca is
here and I am sure he will answer them for you and if I
can, I will do so.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, thank you. Anyone else here endorsing
this subdivision? Hearing none. Is there anyone out there
neither pro nor con but may have some information pertaining
to this subdivision that might be of interest to this Board.
Hearing none. Any questions from the Board, Mr. Mullen,
(none); Mr. Latham (none); Mr. Edwards (none); Mr. Bryer
(none).
Mr.Moore: Mr. Chairman, I would like to add one more comment
and that it that we have negotiated with the Villge of Greenport
water and are in the process of putting this together so
that water will come down from the Main Road down to these
lots, if that is a concern.
Mr. Orlowski: Yes, I was going to ask if a bond has been
established.
Mr. Moore: I don't think they have gotten to the point
of the bond. They have negotiated the terms a~d I believe
the contract is 10,000 dollars. The Village of Greenport
has approved the concept and I think we are discussing now
whether the Village of Greenport will do the work or whether
we are going to do the work, but they have approved that
the contract is being worked out for $10,000.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, the Board would like to have that
as soon as possible. Okay, being no further questions,
I will declare this hearing closed and thank you for
coming down.
7:45 p.m. Mr. Kowalski was presen~ for a presubmission conference
to discuss the site plan for K and K Plumbinq l~cated at
Traveler's Street, South01d. This proposal is for construction
of a retail plumbing store. Mr. Kowalski stated that his
intention was to open up a store to sell hardward and plumbing
parts, and to ha~e a place to keep his trucks. The Board
questioned if this would be a hardware store tog or just
plumbing supplies. Mr. Kowalski clarified that this would
be basically plumbing supplies. The Board also-questioned
if this will be retail and wholesale. Mr. Kowalski stated
that it would be retail only. Mr. Latham questioned the
truck parking and Mr. Kowalski stated that this would be
on the inside of the property. Mr. Bryer state~ that
handicapped parking is shown, however, the stall must
be widened. Mr. Bryer also stated that he reviewed the
parking and it is sufficient for this use. The Chairman
stated that the Board should ~eview the conditions of the

Mr. Garrett Strang was present to discuss the site plan
of Sterling Idea Ventures located at Main Road, Mattituck
for construction of a professional office/retail complex.
The Chairman requested that a landscape plan be submitted
for this proposal. Mr. Strang stated that he did not recall
this as being one of the items requested in the Board's
initial request for information, however, the C~airman
stated that it was requested at a previous meeting. Mr.
Strang stated that the landscaped areas are shown on the
plan, but there is no specific landscape plan a~~ this
time. Mr. Strang also noted that the agenda re~ers
to professional offices only but the developer Would
like to have the option to mix offices with retail
since both area permitted in this B1 zone. Mr. Orlowski
stated that the waiver under the moratorium was to allow
offices only, however, the moratorium is no longer in place
and therefore the Board can consider all the us~s permitted
under the existing zone. Mr. Strang stated tha~ his client
would probably proceed to rent the units as offices,~ however,
if this does not prove to be favorable to the client,] he would
like to exercise his option to have retail stores. Mr. Strang

this point they are asking for conceptual ideas and review.
Mr. Raynor requested that the Board address thi~ action as
a Type I under the State Environmental Quality ] eview Act
which is significant. The Chairman stated that this is
not a presubmission conference it is only a fac~ finding
mission for the Board. The Board is aware of tile scale
of the project and it was felt that if the appl~.cant was
brought in before the Board the plan could be r~viewed
prior to pre-submission conference, the Board c(~ld review
the conceptual design. The Chairman invited coi~ent on the
project as this proceeds and requested that all comments
and concerns be addressed in writing. The Chairman stated
that the major question which the Board has at this time
is with regard to density and the sewer and water, the
proposal would be allowed to have two units per acre with
water and sewer and and four units without. The Chairman
stated that the Board was a aware that the applicant's
were pursuing a sewer and water system. The Chairman
questioned if an application had been made to t]~e Suffolk
County Department of Health Services. Mr. Hart ~tated that
there was no application made to date and H2M i~ working on a
water and sewer study. Preliminary reports have been made
and every thing has to have the approval of the Health Department
and all various agencies prior to going forward with it.
Mr. Orlowski stated that the Board questions thc density
being proposed, because if sewer and water are ~ot provided
then the sketch layout of 95 units is not valid. Mr. Raynor
stated that if they cannot meet the standards o~ the Health
Department, they will certainly reassess the project. Mr.
Mullen questioned the area of the property of the area. He
noted on the survey that the area ~s 27.01 acres or 1,176,555
square feet. He s~ated that his calculations i~dicated 1,080,000
square feet. Mr. Mullen also stated that he wo~ld appreciate
if the applicant's would advise the approximate size of the
unit. Mr. Carr stated that the basic unit will be three
bedroom approximately 1800 - 2000 square feet w~.th 25% of
the units two bedroom approximately 1600 square feet. Mr.
Carr stated that this is s~bject to further revision because
the marketing is not completed. Mr. Mullen que~.tioned i
if the units have garages and Mr. Carr replied .hat they
did have the garages, with off street parking a~d guest
parking will also be off street. Mr. Mullen also questioned
if the necessary fire protection will be installed. Mr.
Carr stated that he would and Mr. Raynor stated that he
anticipated that they will be installing fire p~otection
to the specifications of the Town and the Mattituck Fire
District. Mr. Latham questioned if excess water would be
utilized in other areas of the community. Mr. ~art stated
that this is under consideration. Mr. Bryer stated that
Camp Mineola Road will have to be brought up to Town specs.
He also stated that more than likely the 50' right-of' way
on the east side will also have to be brought up to Town
specs. Mr. Bryer also stated that he has some questions
on the lagoon areas which he will bring up at a later date
when more information is submitted. Mr. Mullen questions
if the units will be developed in sections. Mr. Carr stated
Planning Board Page 11 5/5/86
Norris cont.
that it will be phased in so far as natural progression for
construction proficeincy. But it is not the intention to
go to phase one, phase two, etc. Mr. Mullen questioned if
the lagoons will be man made. Mr. Carr stated ~hat they
will be man made. There were several questions from the
audience an~ the Chairman stressed that this is not a public
hearing and the Board would not be taking any action on this
proposal until the question of sewer and water Are answered.
The Chairman also advised that there might be o~e or two
additional information meetings prior to a presUbmission conference.
Mr. Orlowski also stated that there will be additional hearings
on the impact statement and a final hearing on ~he entire project.
The chairman requested that all questions and cgncerns be
addressed in writing. Mr. Bryer questioned if ~he buildings will
be one stor~ or two story since that will determine the separation

the need for more docking on a permanent basis. Mr. Raynor

permanent slips have been increased and he felt. that he
would like to see more since there is a severe t,roblem with
finding boat dockage for residents. Mr. Carr st.ated that the
docking was based on the availability of parkin¢i, and the studies
have not yet been completed. They are providing one car per slip
and he did not feel that there could be any mot9 permanent slips,
however, this would be reviewed. Mr. Mullen a%so expressed
concern about people using this docking as a boatel by spending
a week or two on their boats. Mr. Hart stated that he spoke
to Mr. Fenton who is a local resident and has assured him
that they don't want that to happen either and %hey will work
to gether to draft a covenant to satisfy that. Mr. Carr stated

the attorney's will draw up, to prohibit it from being a residence.
Mr. Edwards questioned if the fire district had been contacted
regarding %he location o~ a fire well. Mr. Ray~orstated that
they had not been contacted but will be contacted shortly.

nor that had been done. Mr. Raynor stated that it has been
done and was indicated on the Land Use Print. Mr. Bryer requested

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Gonservation Law
State Environmental Quality Review Act and 6NYC~R Part 617,
Section 617.10 and Chapter 44 of the Code of the~ Town of Southold,
notice is hereby given that Southold Town Planning~ Board as
lead agency for the action described below has determined that
the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
DESCRIPTION OF ACTION
The minor subdivision of "Russett acres" fo~ Mary and Henry
E. Raynor,Jr. is for four lot son 13 acres located at Sound
Avenue, Mattituck Tax map. No. 1000-121-5-1.
Planning Board Page 17 5/5,/86
The project has been determined not to have a significant
effect on the environment for the following reasons:
An environmental assessment has been submitted which indicated
that no significant adverse effects to the ~nvironment were
likely to occur should the project be implemented as
planned.
The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has no
objection to our designation of lead agencyL They have received
an application and it is incomplete. It appears that the
project can be served by Subsurface sewage disposal and individual
water supply systems (pending a test well a~alysis). The
proposed realty development appears to conf~rm ~o Article
6 lot size requirements. The department is awaiting test
will analysis prior to further processing. If test well
analysis indicate naturally potable water, the department
would agree with our initial determination.
Because there has been no correspondence from the Department
of Environmental Conservation in the alotted_time, it is
assumed that there are no comments nor objections from
that agency.
The project will meet all the requirements of the Code
of the Town of Southold Subdivision of Land Regluations.
