Planning Board .... -2- une 16, 1980
The Board met with Dr. Koppelman and Mr. Kunz to discuss the
update of the Southold Town Development Plan amongst other items.
In regard to the question of the water quality and quantity, Dr.
Koppelman suggested that Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell be
consulted as they have done virtually all the water studies in
Suffolk County. Most federal programs for planning are limited.
Dr. Koppelman suggested that the town stay with the same consultant
for the updating of the comprehensive plan. If assistance is
desired a resolution should be made by the board requesting same.
701 funds is questionable but CD funds could be utilized. He
commented that goals should be established of where the town is
going over the next twenty-five years. He recommended that there
be a citizens advisory committee to the Planning Board to under-
stand the problems and goals of the community. The County
Executive is talking about the feasibility of extending the
Southwest Water Authority to the north and south forks. If the
Board agrees with this they should write the County Executive and
indicate their concurrence.
Dr. Koppelmanfeels that cluster zoning should be at the
pleasure and control of the town and not the developer. If you
want to protect water and rural quality this is necessary. He
has seen clustering up to one quarter of the property. He
suggested if the town is dedicated to preserving agriculture they
should go for two acre zoning on the farms. Two acre zoning has
been upheld in court.
In regard to an east-west road the town could adopt a town
map showing same. Dr. Koppelman would like to see the location
of the existing purchase of development rights of the farms. Dr.
Koppelman will be sent a copy of the map Mr. Raynor has prepared.
In regard to Fishers Island and the open development area,
it should be covered by the same rules and regulations of the
rest of the town.
Mr. Raynor inquired as to the possibility of old big homes
being made into dmplexes and restrictions that could be placed so
it would not become a runaway use. Dr. Koppelman suggested an
inspection process to protect the owner, tenant and town. It
should only be those with a relationship to the Main Road with
a relationship to transportation and shopping. Another restriction
could be that the house be owner occupied.
Wetlands were discussed. These have been identified in the
Coastal Zone Management Program.
Priorities of the area were discussed with the general
feeling that tourism produces the most income with agriculture
being the prime generator of private wealth. Commercial was
considered by Dr. Koppelman to be fourth after marine uses.

Gatz subdivision. Inspection Report #136 of John W. Davis,
Planning Board Inspector, was reviewed. It was determined by the
board that the following conditions have not yet been met.
2. That the cuts and fillsbe balanced.
6. That substantial stairs be provided to the beach area and
that plans be submittedlfor review.
7. That additional park and playground area be designated.
This information is to be forwarded to Mr. Lark, attorney for the
developer.
Adeline Lee minor subdivision. A letter has been received from
Abigail A. Wickham, attorney for Ms. Lee, requesting an amendment
of the boundary line between Lots 2 and 3 of 12 feet to the east.
This would eliminate the encroachment of the driveway servicing
Lot 2 and will bring the cesspool within the bounds of Lot 2.
The Planning Board sees no objection to the proposed amendment as
outlined by Ms. Wickham.
Armaroy Acres (A.L.R. Francisco) minor subdivision. Covenants
and restrictions were filed in the Suffolk County Clerk's Office
stating amongst other things that (2) That only one private dwelling
shall be constructed on each lot and (3) that the minimum size of
the living area on the ground floor of said private dwelling shall
be 1200 square feet. The applicant's attorney, Abigail Wickham,
has requested a letter from the Planning Board indicating that
the two above statements were not required by the Planning Board
as a condition to their approval of the subdivision and that the
Planning Board has no interest in enforcement of those statements,
provided that any use of the property does not violate the zoning
ordinance of the Town of Southold. The Planning Board sees no
objection to the intent of the change and would like a revised
list of the covenants and restrictions to fit the needs of the
particular lot intended to be purchased by the Fanny Behlen
Community Health Center.
Cooke - Emerson minor subdivision. The Board reviewed and accepted
the conditions of the Suffolk County Planning Commission and they
are to be placed on the map.
No new major structure or sanitary disposal facility
shall be constructed within 100 feet of the shoreline
of Richmond Creek.
There shall not be any discharge of stormwater runoff
resulting from the development or improvement of either
lot directly into Richmond Creek.

A short radius curve having a minimum radius of 20 feet

On motion made by Mr. Gordon, seconded by Mr. 0rlowski, it was
RESOLVED to rescind the following action taken at a regular
meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board held April 7, 1980:
RESOLVED to disapprove the sketch map of the minor subdivision
of Anita McNulty and Helen McNul~ said map dated February 22,
1980 as this is a set off piece of property from a total of three
plus acres and the Board considers the division of property an
evasion of the Rules and Regulations fOr~he Subdivision of Land
of the Town of Southold.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Gordon, Orlowski
Lloyd Terry minor subdivision. The Suffolk County Planning
Commission will not review this minor subdivision until it has a
satisfactory e~planation as to why it is not considered a major
subdivision as it contains five lots. In conversation between
the secretary and Charles Lind, Chief Planner, Mr. Lind indicated
that a declaDation that the remainder of the proper~y will only
come in as a major subdivision might be acceptable to the Commission.
Mr. Terry will be requested to provide same or eliminate a lot.
Cardinale. Catalano has made application to the Planning Board
for a subdivision of lots for ~fnich the Zoning Board of Appeals
previously granted area variances. In submitting the application
to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services by the Zoning
Board of Appeals as required by the State Environmental Quality
Review Act, the Department of Health Services submitted the
following:
"Information indicates that the area has a history of a
limited water supply. In addition, this Department does
not recommend the creation of residential lots less than
40,000 square feet in areas where private wells and
individual subsurface sewage disposal is planned."
The Planning Board will hold this application in abeyance until
such time as the subdivider can prove to the Board that adequate
potable water is available.
