Town Planner James Bryer
Mr. Robert Celic was present for a pre-submisson conference to discuss
the site plan for construction of an addition to his office located
at the corner of Main and Marlene Road, Mattituck. It was noted that this
application requires a variance from the Board of Appeals for the rear
yard set-back. Mr. Ce!ic said.the plan is for an addition to the existing
building to expand the present real estate operations, as well as,
have a sat~lite store for rental. Mr. Mullen questioned the type of
tenant Mr. Celic anticipated for the store. Mr. Cel~c said something
other than food or a restaurant, he anticipated perhaps retail clothing
or an accountant or attorney to compliment his real ~tate office. Mr.
Ward questioned theparking situation and the pull-off parking off Marlene
Road. Mr. Celic said the parking would be greatly expanded in terms of
what it is now. The current parking spaces will remain and then the
additional speces as requied by t~ Planning Board will also be added.
Mr. Celic said the parking would be paved with asphalt, however, he
was thinking of putting down stone blend instead because it ~s so
costly, but if the Town insists upon asphalt than that ~s what he will use.
Mr. WArd questioned if Mr. Celic could create one ingress and egress
only with curbing to avoid the pull'~n parking and all the asphalt.
Mr. Celic said that he did not build the original building. It was
noted that the zoning was B1. Mr. Celic said that he did not want
to change anything that would make him get another variance frDm the
Board of Appeals because he already had one application pending there.
Mr. Celic said there wou~d be a partial basement in the addition. It
was noted that there are two uses in the present building, which contains
2738 sq. ft. It was the consensus of the Board to make a field inspecti~n~
and give the applicant there recommendations in writing so that the changes
could be made to the plans, the recommendations will also be forwarded to the
Zoning Board of Appeals.

~Mr- Robert Melrose was present to discuss the proposed minor subdivision
and for a presubmission conference to site plan for the construction of a
marina contractor's service operation, located at Albertson Lane, Arshamomaque.
Mr. Melrose said that he was presently under contract to purchase the land
providing he can obtain all the necessary approvals. Mr.Melrose said that
most of the work is done out of OystSEon Bay, however, a site was needed
where he could maintain the landbased equipment. He explained that only
the rear 1½ acre of the 3½acre site would be used for the business.
He said there were no plans for the rest of the property, however, he
had applied for a minor subdivision of the land. Mr. Melrose said he
was proposing to put up two small buildings, 30' X 60'; one at the early
stage of operation and one at a later date. The buildings would be used
for an offfce and to store s~ll parts and to do repairs on small equipment.
The large equipment would be stored and worked on outside. Mr. Melrose
said that he had tried to meet all the requirements for parking and landscaping,
and buffering. It was noted that the Board of Appeals had approved this
plan for all the variances needed. Mr. Ward questioned the paving, grading,
and drainage. Mr. Melrose said he ld%dg~R~a~ticipate any drainage problems
and had not decided if the pavement would be crushed stone or asphalt, but
the sit e plan indicated that it would be ~urfaced area. Mr. Latham
questioned the zoning. Mr. Melrose said the property~as zoned B . It was
noted that the site plan and subdivision applications had been filed
simmltaneously. The Chairman noted that this had never been done before,
however, he did not see a problem; although'he said that the subdivision
may have to be approved first, prior to the site plan. The Chairman said
that this would be discussed with the Town Atorney. Mr. Melrose said that
he ~aited quite a long time to get the site plan approval and was not
very interested in pursuing the subdivision at this time if it meant that
the site plan ~ight be held up. And, since he had no intention of doing
anything with the~ site other than for his business, he would not proceed
toward final~ng the subdivision. The Chairman said that would be fine,
since he does have a lot for the business. It was the consensus of the
Board to make a field inspection of the property prior to any action or
recommendations.
The Estate of John '~imon located at Peconic- Mr. Dick Mead was present
for the discussion on this minor subdivision. The Board questioned if
there had been any communication between th e Dillers who had a mznor
subdivision pending to the ~&~. Mr. Mead said that the Simons had set
up a meeting with the Dillers and agreed to meet in the field so they
could review the site. Mr. Ward questioned the East-West road which
the Board and applicants had agreed upon. Mr. Mead said that in order
to meet the east-west road of Diller, the Simon road would have to dovetail
and Mr. Mead wa~ bbRc~ed fhm% the lot W~hwould be created when the
road was constructeS~-~w6uld meet zoning requirements so a variance could
be avoided. The Chairman said that this could be drawn up in covenants
and urestrictions and approved ~y the Town Attorney. Mr. Mead said that
subject to his attorneys approval he did not think there would be a problem.
ON a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded byMr. Mullen it was
