Smith appeared before the board to determine if an inspection had been made of the property. The board has not had an opportunity but will set up a date and let Mr. Smith know. On motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Multen, it was RESOLVED to approve the sketch map of the minor subdivision of Georqe L. Penny IV (Hahn property) located at Southold, said map dated March 16, 1981. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Orlowski, Latham, Mullen On motion made by Mr. Orlowski, seconded by Mr. Latham, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board declare itself lead agency in regard to the State Environmental Quality Review Act for the minor subdivision of George L. Penny IV (Hahn property) located at Southold. The Board has made an initial determination of non-significance. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Orlowski, Latham, Mullen On motion made by Mr. Orlowski, seconded by Mr. Latham, it was RESOLVED to set 8:00 p.m., Monday, April 27, 1981 at the Town Hall, Main Road, Southold, New York, as the time and place for a public hearing on the minor subdivision of George L. Penny IV (Hahn property) located at $outhOld. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Orlowski, Latham, Mullen Dalchet - Chet Orlowski propertyrat Cutchogue. This sketch map was reviewed. Because it is the only ingress and egress for the property of Pung with the exception of a cut on the Main Road, an extension of Pierce Drive should be constructed to Town Highway Specifications between Lot 7 and Lots 8 and 9. Lot 6 is a flaglot but there is no alternative. There is no provision for park and playground. The board would like money in lieu of land in an amount to be determined. The flaglot into Lot 2 should be changed to incorporate the 25 feet into Lot 1 with a right-of-way over same to Lot 2. 7:45 p.m. Public Hearing on the question of the approval of the minor subdivision of Baxter Properties, Inc. located at Cutchogue. Mr. Burt Lewis and Abigail Wickham, attorney for the applicant, appeared at the hearing. Mr. Raynor read the legal notice of hearing and presented proof of publication in the Suffolk Times. Planning Board .... -3- April 6, 1981 Mr. Raynor: In review of the file, there is correspondence from our board to the applicant's attorney, a copy of the description, map, correspondence from the applicant's attorney addressed to the board. Gentlemen: I enclose six maps for the minor subdivision of Baxter Properties, Inc. As I indicated at your meeting of October 16, 1980, wherein you approved the sketch map, the 100 foot building setback from the bluff renders Lots 3 and 4 virtually unbuildable. Given the Town of Southold's requirement for a 50 foot front yard setback from the right-of-way, there is a depth of only 10 feet in which to construct a structure on Lot 3, and 25 feet on Lot 4'. This is insufficient for a residential dwelling, particularly for the high quality dwelling likely to be constructed on this type of waterfront property. The hardship is created by the irregular shape of the southeast portion of the property. This property has been owned by Baxter Properties, Inc., separate and apart from the adjoining property to the south, for over 25 years. We believe that an exception to the 100 foot setback policy is justified as to Lots 3 and 4, and that a setback of 70 feet on Lot 3 and 85 feet on Lot 4 is reasonable. The enclosed maps show that the existing homes on both sides of this property are less than i09 feet from the bluff. At your October 16th meeting, you suggested that I submit the maps as they are, with a request for modification of the setback line. I, therefore, request an opportunity to meet with the Suffolk County Planning Commission at the time they review the subdivision maps, so that this problem may be resolved. Please let me know if you have any additional requirements. /s/ Abigail A. Wickham Mr. Raynor: I have the legal notice and the property description, resolution approving sketch plan of the map, correspondence in our file. With regard to the State Environmental Quality Review Act which has been completed the Department of Environmental Conservation has said a tidal wetlands may be necessary and I see a copy of the permit. Under Health Services, there is no objection. There is a receipt from the Town Clerk's Office of the fee being paid, applicant's application, covenants and restrictions in regard to the properties themselves, description of the property, short environmental assessment form. That pretty much completes the file. As is the procedure we will ask if there is anyone present that would like to speak in opposition to the minor subdivision of Baxter Properties, Inc.? Hearing none, is there anyone present this evening that would like to speak in favor of the minor subdivision of Baxter Properties, Inc.? Abigail Wickham, Attorney for Baxter Properties, Inc.: The main thing I want to address tonight is the issue we have talked about before because I want it on the record. Mr. Baxter couldn't be here tonight but I have had discussions with him regarding the setback on the bluff. We have a subdivision of about 8-1/4 acres. A fair amount is beach area and embankment and the buildable acreage is at the back of the property. The four lots are laid out in what we thought was the Planning Board ~ -4- April 6, 1981 optimal way with a minor subdivision with a road at the back and each lot taking advantage of the shorefront to the maximum. However, because of the shape of the property lots 3 and 4 would not have any property if the 100 foot setback line is going to be imposed in which to build, lot 3 having the biggest problem. As I indicated in my letter, the amount of setback that would really make a nice building or any building feasible would be a setback of about 70 feet on lot 3 and 85 feet on lot 4 and I arrived at that using the 50 foot front yard setback set by the Town of Southold and allowing for the normal size house. The later correspondence that I forwarded to the board contained a map of this property and this proposed subdivision on which I superimposed the line of the bluff as shown on Van Tuyl's map ~n 1965 and I think you have a copy of that in the file. It was sent last week. tt shows that there has been very little if no change in the line of the bluff. The shoreline itself has even built out a little on the east. I spoke to Van Tuyl and he said the line of the bluff as indicated on this subdivision map is taken from information which is about five years old so if you compare to the 1955 in the last twenty years there has been really no change in the average line of the bluff and I understand that the 100 foot .setback that is the policy of the Suffolk County Planning Commission is based on two feet of erosion a year. I think that it shows that this part of ~the bluff has not suffered from that severe erosion that has occurred in other parts of the Sound. The most Mr. Baxter plans to do here is sell off those lots, not all at once, he will probably want to hold on to some of them for a while but he has had some interest in some of them. They are going to be lots worth quite a bit of money as they are suitable for housing and the type of housing would be good quality homes. He is not going to be able to sell lot 3 to someone putting a house that close to the road or a smaller house. I understand there was a suggestion made of reducing the front yard setback and even if the Board of Appeals would go along with that I think that would also create another hardship on the property. Not only would you have your house right near a road which in some future time could be a public highway so the owner would be exposed to people going back and forth, you would also have people having to go by a lot with a house right near the road. I would like to emphasize that the hardship is one not created by the applicant. It is the way the property was when he bought it some years ago. I realize the board may be concerned about setting precedent and this will be difficult to deal with in this matter. I think there are certain circumstances here that would require that kind of variation of the setback that you wouldn't have on anyone etses property that wouldn't want ~o be 100 feet from the bluff. It is the configuration of the property as it has been since he bought it. You have the Raeburn- Murphy house on the east which is probably within 60 feet of the bluff. Mr. Lewis measured it. The Gallagher house is about 80 5o 85 feet away so you do have other houses in the area that are that close and you also have a map showing the change in the bluff line has not been anywhere near what the County was basing its guidelines on. I don't want you to think that our fear is based on idle speculation about the real estate market. I asked Mr. Lewis to come here tonight because he had someone interested in lot 3 or 4. Mr. Lewis: They are interested in a waterfront lot and if you look at this one lot, 470 feet and when you go back to the setback, about 300 feet back from the waterfront and that is almost like being across the street from waterfront property. Not only that but the Planning Board -5- -~ April 6, 1981 Raeburn property would block out the view and it would be behind the Raeburn house. Ms. Wickham: Did you have a reluctance about building back that far from the road and possibly having a small house? Mr. Latham: SUppose he combined three and four and instead of four lots have a three lot subdivision. Mr. Lewis: Mo~t~ people wouldn't want a larger lot. Ms. Wickham: Lot 3 and Lot 4 both have the problem so I don't think by combining you alleviate the problem on lot 3. Mr. Raynor: L~t's start with the Murphy house. Mr. Orlowski and I were here abou~ six months ago. They had considerable erosion on the bank directly ~ast of it. It is a reason that the County is kind of . hard and fast ~ith their rule. We have not gotten an official report back. I have ~ preliminary staff report here from them. The opposition was simply tha~ as far as the County was concerned either deny it totally or give the local board an option of relinquishing the front yard setback which apparently you have been informed of. Out of 300 feet as Mr. Lewis brings up, 250 feet of that is beach and bluff. The County will be hard and fast with their rule. It was a question of bringing it back to the local board or turning it down completely. Ms. Wickham: That is why I am asking your board to consider it because I know it is a long standing policy of the County but not a rule of the Town Code. I can understand a reluctance on your part to grant an exception unless there are extenuating circumstances. Mr. Raynor: They have been tried before in East Marion. Lots 3 and 4 on the building setback pretty much carry the top elevations for the property. In laying it out and discussing it this was one of the things brought up. Is there anything else you would like to talk to the board about? Ms. Wickham: I think along these lines again the concern is the life span of the lot to some extent and someone buying a house with perhaps a limited usefulness if the rate of erosion is a certain amount, how long will they have the house without the Sound on the front porch. The lot would have to be sold with the realization there would be a possiblity in the future there would be suffiCient erosion to bring the lot back to where the house was constructed. Hopefully, by that time there will be a solution to keeping the bluff. I can see the Town not wanting to assume any responsibility. With an adequate disclosure toga purchaser that problem can.be taken care of. The only other thing I might mention there was an arrange- ment made with the Raeburn-Murphy people when they ran into a problem with Mr. Bokina. The right has been given to them for 200 feet above the Oregon Road for the properties on the east to have a right to use that right-of-way. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else present this evening that would like to speak in favor of the proposed minor subdivision of Baxter Properties, Inc. Is there anyone present that has some information that should come before the board at this time. Planning Board -6- April 6, 1981 Ms. Wickham: Is there any additional information on this erosion problem that might be obtained by way of experts or whatever? Mr. Raynor: We have reviewed it several times on several different subdivisions on the Sound and I would have to say that the conclusions are kind of inconclusive. Mr. Lewis: The bluff is pretty well overgrown and looks pretty stable. Mr. Raynor: They look it to the east. Mr. Latham: I am wondering about the next person that doesn't know about all this. Ms. Wickham: In terms of the life span of the lot, you can always put somehing in the record if you have to. There are ways to insure that anyone would know about it. Mr. Mullen: The title company would put that up, too. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else. If there is nothing else, we will deem this hearing closed. 8:00 p.m. Public Hearing on the question of the approval of the minor subdivision of Gertrude Duchow located at Cutchogue. Mr. and Mrs. Pontino, adjacent property owners, and Charles Cuddy, attorney for the applicant, appeared. Mr. Raynor read the legal notice<of hearing and presented proof of publication in the Suffolk Weekly Times. Mr. Raynor: In the file is a receipt from the Town Clerk's Office for $75, correspondence from this board to the applicant's attorney setting tonight for a public hearing, correspondence to this board from the Department of Health Services, our designation as lead agency, metes and bounds description of the property, map of the property, description and subdivision requirements, correspondence from this board to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, correspondence from the attorney to this board, resolution approving the sketch map on October 28th, more correspondence, the application, metes and bounds description and short environmental assessment form As is the policy of this board, we will ask if there is anyone present this evening that would like to speak in opposition to this minor subdivision of Gertrude Duchow. Hearing none, is there anyone present that would like to speak in favor? Charles Cuddy: The board has had this subdivision before it for a number of months and I believe it complies with the requirements. I talked to Chuck Hamilton and he has given tentative approval and I Would expect final approval in the next few weeks. The Pontino house is relatively close to this property and there is a question of water testing. I will expect approval in a few days from the ~ealth Depart- ment. I would ask that the board approve the subdivision as submitted. Mr. Raynor: They tested the water in lot 17 Planning Board .... -7- ~ April 6, 1981 Mr. Cuddy: They suggested something new and we discussed it with the Pontinos because theirs is only two or three years old. Mr. Raynor: Any action the board may take would be subject to Suffolk County Planning Commission conditions. Is there amupme else that would like to speak in favor? Is there anyone present that has some information that should come before this board at this time? Mr. Orlowski? Mr. Latham? Mr. Mullen? (all negative) There being no further questions we will deem this hearing closed. John Vescur. Property at South Harbor Road, Southold. Shep Scheinberg, attorney for the applicant, appeared. The chairman indicated to Mr. Scheinberg that he feels there should be some type of road construction. It could be clustered on the westerly portion and revised into a major subdivision because it will be required that the road and a spur going into Manitta's property would have to be built to town highway specifications. Mr. Scheinberg will confer with his client and get back to the board. On motion made by Mr. Orlowski, seconded by Mr. Latham, it was RESOLVED to set 7:30 p.m., Monday, May 11, 1981 at the Town Hall, Main Road, Southold, New York, as the time and place for a public hearing on the question of the approval of the final map of the subdivision to be known as "Harbor Lights~ Section IV", located at Southold. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Orlowski, Latham, Mullen Hill Crest at Orient. Mr. Mullen and Mr. Latham have made an inspection of this property. A waiver will be necessary as there is only one ingress for the subdivision. This property has been previously approved by the Town Board to be developed in the cluster concept but Mr. Reese would rather have a conventional subdivision. North View Drive should be circular at the end. Hill Crest Road is over-long and exceeds the length required by the Code. The park area appears to be insufficient. Mr. Orlowski made a motion, seconded by Mr. Latham and carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of January 5, 1981. Mr. Latham made a motion, seconded by Mr. Orlowski and carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of January 20, 1981.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION The minor subdivision of Donald P. Robinson~ Dorothy R. Binns & Marion R. Mears is a three-lot residential subdivision located at Cutchogue with two existing houses. 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 environment were likely to occur should the project be implemented as planned. Because there has been no response in the allotted time from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services it is assumed that there is no objection nor comments by that agency. The project will meet all the requirements of the Code of the Town of Southold Subdivision of Land Regulations. Further information can be obtained by contacting Ms. Muriel Tolman, Secretary, Southold Town Planning Board, Main Road, Southold, New York.

On motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Orlowski, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board declare itself lead agency in regard to the State Environmental Quality Review Act for the Minor Subdivision of Vincent Guarnaschelli and Dean J. Yaxa located at Arshamomaque. An initial determination of non-significance has been made. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Orlowski, Latham, Mullen The Board reviewed the map of Guarnaschelli and Yaxa and had difficulty determining exactly what the developers want to do. There were two different designations for lots 1 and lots 2. The principles will be asked for clarification. Mr. Raynor reported that he had met along with Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Sr. Building Inspector George Fisher with Mr. George Raymond of Raymond, Parish, Pine and Weiner to e~plore the possibility of an update of the development plan. Some problems were discussed. Mr. Raymond will get back to the town with a proposal. On motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Latham, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board has reviewed the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals of Southold Granger Inc. #1036 Patrons of Husbandry and Church of the Open Door, Open Door Ministeries, Inc. for a special exception to use the subject premises Planning Board v -12- April 6, 1981 for the operation of a house of worship. This is an on-going non- profit use of the property and the Planning Board agrees with the applicant's attorney that there is sufficient parking available for the proposed use.

Barrier be continued to the east at entrance. 7. All subject to a three month review. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Latham, Mullen Nay: Orlowski Mr. Orlowski registered a negative vote because it is his feeling that the entrance and exit should both be on the Main Road because there may be continual blocking of the exit on Youngs Avenue. On motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was RESOLVED that whereas, a formal application for the approval of a subdivision plat entitled Minor Subdivision of Smith~ Carter, Blanchard was submitted to the Planning Board on October 29, 1980, and an application fee of $75 was received on March 17, 1981, and WHEREAS, a public hearing w~s held on the said subdivision application and plat at the Town Hall, Southold, New York, on March 17, 1981 at 8:00 p.m., and WHEREAS, the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations of the Town of Southold have been met by said subdivision plat and app 1 ication, Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that the application of Smith, Carter, Blanch~rd for approval of said subdivision plat prepared by Chandler, Palmer and King dated January 22, 1981, be approved and the chairman be authorized to endorse approval on said subdivision map.
