Board of Appeals has granted an insufficient area variance. It was the consensus of the Bogrd that the application could be handled as a set-off. It was requested that the applicant amend the application to be a se~off. Dr. Lizew$ki site plan The Board reviewed this site plan for construction of a racquet ball facility at Cutchogue. The Board read a letter in the file from the architect, Garrett Strang, r~.questing that the Board allow the existing driveway to be ope~ for emergency ingress and egress. On the previous site plan for this property, the Board approved a plan which eliminate( this drive-way onto Main Road. The Board agreed that sinc~ the original approved plan did not include this driveway, the driveway should be off the present site plan. The Board felt that the zngress and egress off Deport Lane was sufficient for the project. They noted that it would be hard to restrict traffic to that of only for emergency vehicles. On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board approve the site plan of Dr. Joseph Lizewski and supplemental landscape plan for the construction of a racquet ball facility at Depot Lane, and Main Road, Cutchogue, plan dated April 6, 1984, subject to removal of the access from the Main Road.

This proposal is for construction of retail and restaurant at County Route 48, Mattituck. (Formerly and they wDuld like to the principal entrance at Middle Road, rather tha on to the County road. They also requested that consideration be given to moving parking from under the high tension electrical wires. Mr. Ward indicated that when the actual squ~re footage for retail space is computed, some of the parking ma be eliminated. The Board also questioned the small car parkin indicated on the plan, since it is not mentioned in the Town CDde. Mr. Lessard, who also looked at the property pointed ou to the Board that the East property boundary slopes down and h cautioned that adequate drainage be provided so that the drainaFe does not go onto someone elses property. Mr. Lessard also recomuended landscaping under the electrical wires rather than parking. ~t was the consensus of the Board to request more site plan information on the plan and upon receipt of same will make another field inspection and review. The Board concurred that consideration be given to more landcaping and no parking under the electrical high-tension wires. On a motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Edwards, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board with the p for the Se be located Vote o Mr. Phil2 for a sut Southold the boun~ was no request compliance revious recommendation that the proposed storage building wen-Eleven Stores located at Southold, Cutchoque, and Greeport, in the rear of the buildings. the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Latham, Ward, Edwards ) Ofrias, attorney, was present to discuss his proposal ~division known as "Arshamomaque Island" located at for 4 lot son 18 3/4 acres. The Board questioned [ary line running through the wetlands since their .ear description of this boundary. Mr. Ofrias explained that the wetland is 10 acres or so, which is adjunct to th~8 acres of woodland. Mr. Ofrias explained to the Board that when he purchased the property they received the portion of the wetland that was owned by the grantor and it is their proposal that, subject to the subdivision approval, Lot No. 4 would also carry with it, that portion of the wetlands which we are able to convey which is what they received from the grantor. Mr. Ofrias also Page 5 6/24/85 Of~{as "~rshamomaque Island" cont. that he ~ad title work on this propoerty and going back 100 the exa(? property line was never defined. Mr. Ofrias stated years, that Lot No. 4 of the subdivision would also contain the area of the mea( )w, and all the lots will contain the minimum lot area, and only 4 homes will be built . The Board questioned covenants and rest~ictions and Mr. Ofrias stated that he would agree to place co. Tenants as to no further subdivision in perpetuity on the subdivision and has submitted them for the file. Mr. Ward questior ~d the topographical information noting that the contours are fron an old aerial from suffolk County. Mr. Ward stated that the prok .em is that with the five foot contours, and the guarantee on it is plus or minus a contour, so the survey could be off 10' in eleva~ion. Mr. Ofrias stated that the reference was the county map and ~hat he also had a map with two foot contours. Mr. Ward stated ttLat the Board is looking for a closer approxlmat±on of the cont(.urs. Mr. Ofrlas presented a copy of the county map with con~.ours, which the elevations are keyed to. Mr. Ward stated the grour.d survey may show up something totally different because of the g~neralization of the present s6rvey. Mr. Ward suggested that Van Tuyl should run some correlation. He stated it was the Board's concern to known how much property is above the 10' contour. It was suggested that Mr. Van Tuyl prepare spot grades for the ]roperty, and some base line, from amonument on the area. It was the consensus of the Board to contact the town attorney on the m~tter of the boundary line for the wetland area. Mr.0frias stated that the center line of gutter as a boundary line for other side of he property was an established line and was in the deeds, however, there is nothing clear regarding where the gutter ends. Mr. Orlo~ ski stated that the Town ittorney would be contact because the Boar~ would not be able to clearly create lots with no exact boundry ine. Henry Arb eny-Mr. Rudy Bruer, attorney was present to discuss this subdivision of 8 lots on 7.5 acres at the corner of Kenny's Road and Count~. Road 48, Southold. This property has the zoning bondarY [ne running through it, splitting the property between A residen2ial and B business. The present layout indicates that many of the lots created will be split in the two zones. The Board noted that this would be a problem in the future because t]~e more predominate zone would prevail and that would be the Residential zone. Therefore, all of the business zoned property ~ould have to be used for residentail or have a variance. It was the Board's recommendation to have six lots rather th~n eight and then all the lots would be either residential or busine~s, and none would be split. Mr, Lessard quoted from the town )de the section applying to this propoerty ( Section 100- 22 D) whi~h indicates that when a property is split between zoning boundaries, and more than 50% of the area of the lot is in the le~s restricted district t~e regulations of the zoning for the l~ss restricted district will apply to the entire parcel. Mr. Bruer stated that by preparing the map as per the Board!s recommendation, he would loose a residential lot. Mr. Orlow~ki stated that he would actually loose two lots, however t~ey would be more marketable because they would be not split with the zoning line. Mr. Bruer stated that they may apply to have the zoning boundary extended, howver, that would be the Town Board. Mr. Bruer stated that he would go back to his Page 6 6/24/85 Henry client. lot woul since thc ~eeny cent . Mr. Orlowski stated that the Board felt that the present [ also create problems if it is_ used as a business zone ~re wold not be enought area for parking. Papadopol[los and Maragos-Mr. Rudy Bruer, attorney, was present for the ~oard's discussion on the major subdivision for 5lots on 14.374 acres at Kenny's Road, Southold. TheBoard noted that they wer~ not in favor of the "T" shaped lot and preferred that this be [evetoped as a minor sudivision. The Board also questioned a possib.e road for futUre tie into the land to the East of the subdivis~.on. It was also noted that if the subdivision is develope(, as a major, since there was no land reserved, a fee would ha~e to be paid for park and playground. Mr. Bruer stated that he ~ould go back to his client with this information and would le~ the Board know how they wish to proceed. Mt. Beulah Aces-Mr. Bruer, attorney, questioned the Board about the release of the letter of Credit for the road in this subdivison. The read,was provided for future construction if the remaining lan~ to ~he East was ever developed. Mr. Bruer requested that the Boar~ consider releasing the letter of credit and accepting the road for future dedication. The Board stated that they would re%iew this matter and advise him at a later date. Alice Hu~sie- Alice Hussie was present to discuss her proposed site plan for a tenis/ racquetball facility located at Hortons Lane, Sogthold. It was noted that since this proposal lies in a B-1 zone, it will require a special exception from the Board of Appeals. The Board stated that an application should be made to that }oard since no action can be taken on the site plan until th~ special exception is granted. The Planning Board would ho~'ever make a recommendation to the Board of Appeals. Mrs. Hus~ie explained that there were 4 indoor and 4 outdoor courts p~eposed. She stated that the building would be metal. Mrs. Hus~iestated that eventually the building may be for 3 indoor tennis courts and two or four racquetball courts. The Board also questioned if an office would also be in the buildingt. Mrs. Hussie stated that it would be a 3,000 square foot building- that would house lockers, chang~eing rooms, offices, an observation area. Mrs. Hussie stated that a facade would be built. She also indicated that no food would be served. It was the consensus of the Board to conduct a field inspection prior to any fqrther action, the Board also requested a rendering of the propqsal and advised the applicant to file with the Board of Appeals. Page 7 6/24/85 Florence Rolle - The Board reviewed this set-off for 2 lots on 30,822 square feet at Ole Jule Lane, Mattituck. It was noted tha~ the Board of Appeals requested a recommendatin from the Planning Board. The Board felt that they cannot endorse this for ~uch small lots since even the original lot is less than o ne acre. It was the consensus of the Board to hold this appl cation in abeyance pending action by the Board of Appeals o the insufficient area, width and depth variances. Walter ar Frank Sawicki-The Board reviewed this proposal which was submitted as a set-off for 13,160 square feet from 8.6 acres to merge ~ith the existing house lot at North Road, Southold. The Board noted that no covenants and restrictions had been submitted to the file. Any approval would be subject to the condition that the 13,160 would merge with the house lot. It was ~th=_ consensus of the Board that this could be handled as a lotl[ne change since no new lot was being created. The Board requested new survyes indicating ~that the proposed Lot No. 1 will merge with the house lot of Frank Sawicki, and eliminating the current r=_ar yard line of the house lot, to further clarify that it will b=_ a merger. The Board also requested covenants and restricti)ns that the parcel will be merged to the house, owned by Frank Sawicki.
