objection to our designation of lead agency. They have
received an application and it is incomplete. The

size requirements of Article 6. However, the depth of
the well must be at'least 40 ft. into the groundn water
table. Your submitted well information indicating the
depth of well into the water table is only 23.5 feet.

a quorom for a vote, therefore, this proposal wilt be held

Planning Board Page 11 June 23, 1986
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board recommend to

Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowksi, Mullen, Ward
Mr. Lessard noted that there will be dwelling on the site.
Founders~Viltaqe Mr. Latham made an inspection of the condominium

done, however, anticipated that all remaining work would be

Stanley and Helen Simichick - The Board reviewed this proposal
for 4 lots on 20 acres at Alvah's Lane and County Route 48,
Cutchogue. It was noted that the Chairman will abstain from
any discussion with regard to this proposal since he is related
to the applicants (cousins). Mr. Ward proposed that the property
would have a better division if the lots were clustered away
from the road. It was the consensus that Mr. and Mrs. Simichick
Planning Board Page 12 June 23, 1986
be called in to discuss this with the Board.
Russett Acres - Mr. Henry E. Raynor, Jr., applicant, was present
for the Board's review of this subdivisiOn for 4 lots on 13.185
acres at Mattituck. The Chairman noted that all of the Board's
requests have been met. He stated that there could be a problem,
however, as far as lot lines, where they are and where they
exist. At this point in time, until it can be proven, we
have to look at what is on the map. The Board can not establish
or clarify existing lot lines. Mr. Orlowski stated that there
appears to be a lot line in the wrong place and how it will
affect this proposal in now known at this time. Mr. Orlowski
stated that there was a discrepancy in two surveyors Who
surveyed adjoining property. Apparantly the difference was
anywhere from 15' to 130' in error. This error meant that
an existing right -of-way was either entirely within a parcel
or entirely outside a parcel. Since Mr. Raynor's proposal
was adjacent to these parcels, there may be a problem with
his lot line since any error would be carried down the road,
afecting each piece of property. Mr. Raynor stated that he
had been contacted by one of the lot owners. Mr. Raynor stated
that he had a guaranteed survey and requested that until
this matter is resolved that the Board proceed with his aplication.
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board set Monday,
July 14, 1986 at 8:15 p.m. at the Southold Town Hall, as the
time and place for a public hearing on the question of approval
of the minor subdivision of Henry E. and Mary Raynor to be
known as "Russett Acres" located at Mattituck. 4 lots on
13.185 acres.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowksi, Mullen, Ward
Sam and Eliza Kopper - The Board reviewed this set off for
2 lots on 5 acres located at Indian Neck Lane, Peconic.
This proposal was a resubmission from three 10ts which did
not receive approval for insufficient lot area from the Board
of Appeals. The Board questioned why the layout was proposed
with lot no. 2 being much larger. It was questioned if the
layout could be evened up or if covenants and restrictions
would be filed prohibiting further subdivision on Lot no.
2. This will be referred back to the applicant for his
response to these questions.

is familiar withthe area. Mr. Young, surveyor was present
for this discussion. Mr. Emilita questioned the two flag
lot on the conventional layout, and the fact that on the conventional
layout there is no drainage shown and no park and playground.
This will affect how the yield is determined on the site.
It does not fufill the requirements of a conventional yield
map. Mr. Orlowski stated that on the conventional layout
the lots are oversized and they would require a right-of-way
rather thanthe flag lots but the park and playground could
he handled in money in lieu of land reservation. Mr. Emilita
just stated these points for the Board's consideration. Mr.
Ward questioned some of the areas designated as open space
and Mr. Young stated that they were for buffer areas. Mr.
Bryer stated that upon his review of the cluster computations
he came up with six lots and since the survey states 14± acre
it is difficult to compute exactly what the yield is. Mr.
Bryer questioned if the yield was figured on the conventional
layout or whether the computations were used. Mr. Young stated
that 7 lots could be achieved and that is how many lots they
would like to have. Mr. Young stated that since the original
survey he had re-calculated the exact acreage and it totals
13.898 acres. Mr. Marcucci stated that the three tennis courts
proposed could be used by anyone on Reydon Drive. Mr. Young
stated that at one time this property was part of the overall
property of the Reydon Shores Development.

Mr. Ward stated that he had no problem with the seven lots
as proposed since they had submitted a yield map.
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board grant sketch
map approval to the major subdivision of Daniel Marc~cci lOcated
at North Bayview Road and Reydon Drive, Southold for 7 lots
on 13.898 acres in the cluster concep~ survey dated January
21, 1986, tax map no. 1000-79-5-16.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowksi, Mullen, Ward
Charles Simmons - The Board reviewed this proposalfor 4 lots
on 57 acres located at Sound ~venue, Laurel. Abigail Wickham,
attorney at law was present for the Board's review of this
proposal. Mr. Simmons, applicant, was also present. The
Chairman noted that the Board had to decide if they would
accept the proposal with the house and the right-of,way around
it~ Mrs. Wickham stated that the difficulty was that a 25'
right-of-way on the west side brings it within 20' of the
existing house. Improvement within the right-of-way could
'eliminate the shade trees which are also existinq. Mrs. Wickham
stated that appraisals had been conducted and they show a
devaluation to that lot with the right-of-way that close to
the house of anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 because of possible
loss of shade trees and the proximatey of the house tothe
road way. Mrs. Wickham stated that she was aware that the
right-of-way only had to be improved 15' to satisy Town Law
280-a however once there is a line on a map anyone could
have right-of-way over that and the whole 25' is subject to
improvement. A potential lot owner could insist on widening
it, even thought the Planning Board.would not. Mr. Simmons
stated that he did try to buy some property from the neighbor
and he was unsuccessful in doing that. Mrs. Wickham asked
if the Board would consider going around the house with the
right=of-way where there is a farm road existing. Mr. Orlowski
stated that there is also an existing common 16' right-of-way
on the map as well. Mrs. Wickham stated that this serves
the lots on the north end of the Harbes farm. Mr. Orlowski
questioned if Mr. Simmon's property has a right-of-way over
this. Mrs. Wickham stated~that the existing 16' right-of-way
is half on Simmons property and half on Harbes property, up
to the pump house, about a third of a mile. At this point
the existing road veres off to the west and is entirely on
the neighbors property. And, at that point, a right-of-way
would have to be on Simmons property too. Mr. Orlowski stated
that covenants and restrictions on the sale of lots 1 and
2 should take care of the right-of-way since the board is
not in favor of the right-of-way running around the house.
Mrs. Wickahm stated that there would be no problem improving
the road to 15' because 8 of it can be on the other side.

Sirmmons cont
Mr. Simmons stated that he is selling the development rights
to the Town of rest of the farm and there will never be a
road because there will be no reason to put a road through.
Mr. Simmons stated that he is afraid if the right-of-way is
shown as 25' a lot owner would have the right to use the entire
25' and this could be a problem with the existing trees and
house. Mr. Simmons also stated that the house in the middle
may loose its marketablity because of this fact. Mr. Simmons
felt that the actual traffic would continue on the road which
it is on now even though the right-of-way wold be shown around
the house. Mrs. Wickham questioned why the Board was making
this request if there was no intention to widen the road to
more than 15'. Mr. Orlowski stated that this is the Board's
policy and they would not deviate from it since it would set
a precedent. Mr. Simmons stated that the improvements do
not bother him, however, the line of the 25' right-of-way
does because of the close proximatey to the house. Mr. Ward
stated that the right-of-way around the house would be very
dangerous because of the 90° turns, and would be worse to
have a road going around a house. MR. Oriowski stated that
covenants and restrictions may be able to be placed on the
lots at the time of sale which the Board does not become involved
in . Mr. Orlowski stated that it the consensus of the Board
that the right-of-way be 25' on the westerly side with the
improved part i5'straddling that line. Once that is on the
map the Board will run it by Mr. Tasker, and it was felt that
the right-of-way could be restricted to 15' improved with
covenants and restrictions. Mr. Orlowski suggested that a
covenants and restriction be drawn up for the Town Attorney's
review. Mrs. Wickham also stated that a covenant would have
to be drawn for the remaining land which had not sold the
development rights on since that would affect the size of
the right-of-way. The Board would request that it be larger
for more subdivsion. Mr. Simmons stated that he may have
reservations about this since his heirs might want to subdivide
that. Mrs. Wickham stated that the lots on the Sound are
conforming with regard to lot width since a previous submission
did not receive the necessary variance from the Baord of Appeals.
On a motin made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board approve the
site plan for 280 North Road for construction of an office
and retail complex located at Main Street and North Road,
Greenport, survey dated as revised June 17, 1986, tax map
no. 1000-34-2-1, subject to:
1. Receipt of a curb cut permit from the NYS Department
of Public Works.
Planning Board Page 17 June 23, 1986
2. Removal of the term "parcel two" from the residential
land owned by the applicant. The Board does not want
it to be construed that this has. been subdivided.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowksi, Mullen, Ward
Sundown Farms - Barbara Kujawski was present to discuss this
subdivision and right-of-way with the Board. This subdivision
is located at Sound Avenue, Laurel. Ms. Kujawski stated that
she wanted to explain to the Board the status of the situation
with the right-of-way, property line and adjoining owners.
She stated that she did not think that the Planning Board
should get inbetween two surveyors and try to figure out who
is right and who is wrong. When the Planning Board initiall
y approved the Sundown Farms minor subdivision, they relied
on the survey of Donack Associates which showed that the traveled
road was within the boundary of the subdivision. The Board
was then advised that a survey by Mr. Rod Van Tuyl had been
prepared showing that the traveled road was encroaching on
property of adjoining owners Dantes and Sayre. Ms. Kujawski
stated that the problem is for a title company. However,
at this point nothing can be resolved since the adjoining
owners had written correspondence to the Board but had not
contacted their title company to get a settlement of the matter.
Ms.Kujawski stated that by the letters to the Board from the
adjoining property oweners the Board has required that no
further impaovements be made to the road until this matter
is resolved. However, Ms. Kujawski stated that there is no
resolution in sight unless the title company is contacted
because the adjoining owners have achieved what they wanted
by the Board's request to stop work on the road. Ms. Kujawski
stated that if they adjoining owners honestly believe that
their survey is correct and that they own the 15' that is
on her survey; then they should contact the title company,
file a claim against her title company and let the title companys
resolve it. Ms. Kujawski stated that there are numerous monuments
there and no one knows who put them there, and the land goes
back to a King George Land Grant. Mr. Orlowski stated that
he had discussed this matter withthe Town Attorney who advised
that it is not up the Planning Board to decide where the existing
lot lines are. Mr. Orlowski stated thate there are only two
ways to solve this, one would be to all get together to work
it out and the other would be to go to court. Ms. Kujawski
stated that she had tried to work it out. Ms. Kujawski stated
that she did not know how she would get to court because by
the Board not issuing a 280-a they have achieved what they
wanted and there is no need for them to pursue it. Mr. Orlowski
stated that the Board could not grant 280-a when there is
a discrepancy over where the road it. Ms. Kujawski stated
that she has tried to work it out,however, one of the owners
wants money which Ms. Kujawski can not afford. Mr. Orlowski
stated that with the amount of the discrepancy being 130'
there is no way that the Board can work that out.
