Mr. Raynor read the legal notice of hearing and presented proof of
publication in the L. I. Traveler-Watchman.
Mr. Raynor: In the file we have a copy of the legal notice, a copy
of the resolution setting a date for the hearing, correspondence to
the applicant's attorney from the Board. I have a~negative declaration
in compliance with the State Environmental Quality ReviewAct and
recommendations from the County. There are recommendations from the
Suffolk County Department of Health Services saying the conditions
are adequate for sewage disposal facilities but there may be trouble
getting potable water due to the high nitrate concentrations in the
area. There is correspondence from this board to the County and
State with regard to SEORA and correspondence in the file on lead
agency. We have a short Environmental Assessment Form along with the
standard letter flor the County Planning Commission on roads and
dralinage, the application and receipt of the fee in the amount of
$20 from the Town Clerk. There is correspondence in the file from
the Southold Town Board of Appeals and correspondence from the
attorney initiating the action. As is the custome with a public
hearing, is there anyone present this afternoon that would like to
speak in opposition to the subdivision Briarcliff Sod, Inc. Hearing
none, is there anyone present that would like to speak in favor?
Planning Board ~i -2- Mar ~ 10, 1980
Mr. 01sen: I am the attorney for the applicant. This matter was
before the Zoning Board of Appeals at its meeting of December 6,
1979 and a variance was granted to cut the farmhouse and garage out.
The reason it was done that way is due to the fact that to give any
more area on the road would interfere with telephone poles, existing
curb and a catch basin. The applicant intends to use the existing
barns on the large parcel. The house piece was designed for easy
access to go over existing driveways to the barns. We are here to
answer ~any questions you might have.
Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else present this afternoon that would
like to speak in favor of the proposed subdivision? Is there any-
one present that has any information that should come before this
board with regard to this subdivision? Do any members of the Board
have any questions? (There was a negative response.) Hearing none,
we will deem this hearing closed and thank you for coming down.

Gordon seconded the motion and it was carried.

plat, entitled Minor Subdivision of Briarcliff Sod~ Inc., was

Shipyard Lane~ Kontokosta matter. Manny Kontokosta and Richard Lark,
Esq., appeared. The letter from the Building Inspector regarding the
site plan was read. There was a question as to why no parking was
required for the coffee shop. Mr. Lark explained that the approval
from the Zoning Board of Appeals stated that the coffee shop was to
be exclusively for the motel and apartment occupants and not permitted
for use by the general public. Mr. Raynor asked how they felt about
the building inspector's comment about more parking being required.
They have allowed one for each guest and one for each employee. There
are no standards for apartments. The closest they could find was
the rooming house requirements which show One for each guest room.
Therefore, they are proposing twenty~eight for twenty-eight apartments.
They felt one car per unit would be sufficient. Any additional
visitors could be accommodated along the road. These are one-bedroom
units~ The Board will take these comments into consideration and
confer with the building inspector. It will be necessary that Suffolk
County Real Property numbers be placed on the plan. Mr. Raynor would
like any land subject to flooding shown on the plan. Mr. Kontokosta
sand all units will be at finished elevation of eight feet. Mr.
Raynor requested that Mr.~Latham and Mr. Gordon make an inspection
to see if there is a flooding problem in the area. Mr. Raynor
requested outdoor signs to be shown and a refined landscaping plan
as far as the Censervation easement and what may be subject to
flooding. Mr. Kontokosta said that drainage basins would collect
runoff from the paved areas with the balance to be picked up by the
unsurfaced sandy areas. A copy of the plan will be sent to John W.
Davis, Planning Board Inspector, for his review of drainage. Mr.
Lark asked what the Board wanted screened and Mr. Raynor answered
he wanted some type of low shrub on the southeast corner and the
easterly "in" access road to screen it from the units themselves.
Mr. Kontokosta will submit his entire landscaping plan when it is
available. The committee will report back to the Board at the next
meeting and Mr. Kontokosta will be made aware of any changes.
Thornton Smith major subdivision ~t Mattituck. Mr. Smith and
Richard Lark, Esq., appeared. The Board discussed Mr. Smith's cluster
plan dated January 23, 1980. Mr. Smith said Mr. Kujawski was not
interested in £arming the open area proposed and he felt it would be
Planning Board 5- Ma a 10, 1980
incompatible with the residential area. He has no use for the open
area. There was discussion regarding the road ending at lot 47 with
48 and 49 having a common driveway on Sound Avenue. Mr. Smith is
now contemplating bringing the subdivision in in sections. Mr.
Raynor requested that he send in a proposal.
