Witherspoon (163) located at Southold, New York. Mr. Raynor read the legal notice of hearing and presented proof of publication in the Suffolk Times. Mr. Raynor reviewe the file including the reading of the letter from the Dept. of Health Services and the Town designating itself lead agency in regard to the SEQRA process. Mr. Raynor: At this point I would like to open the meeting to any- one that would like to speak in opposition to the subdivision. Mrs. Lowell: He is trying to divide the land up into one acre lots. There is no question about that. I have had the Board of Health come in and check on the water and doctors come in and say there is something wrong with the water. Mr. Raynor: That is why we go to the Department of Health and they say there is no problem. Mrs. Lowell: I have a doctor's letter. I am on the water right on the right-of-way. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else that has any questions. Planning Board -2- July 23, 1979 Mrs. Lowell: How about the water in the area? Can something be done about it? Mr. Raynor: I can only speak for the Department of Health. It is their jurisdiction. This hearing is not to discuss other than this subdivision. Do you have any questions with regard to the matter at hand? Mrs. Lowell: I feel the water should be fixed if something is to be done. If you cannot get healthy water it should not be subdivided. Mr. Raynor: They cannot get a building permit until they get good water. You would have to check with the Building Department. Is there anyone present this evening that has anything they would like to say in favor of this subdivision? Hearing none, is there any member of the Board that has any specific questions they may have found in their inspection in the last several weeks? Mr. Gordon and Mr. 0rlowski both answered in the negative. Mr. Raynor: If you have questions in addition to this we would be glad to hear them. Mrs. Lowell: 0nly the question of water is the only thing that bothers me. How is he dividing the land? Mr. Raynor: Into two lots. If you look at the map in front of you there are lots indicated as one and tow. The access to lot 2 is off the right-of-way and lot i is off Soundview Avenue. Mrs. Lowell: Coming from Soundview Avenue? Mr. Raynor: Yes. There are two rights-of-way, one that your property comes off and one off Soundview Avenue. As you can see by the map these proposed lots are considerably larger than most of the neighborhood which may give you some idea of the present zoning restrictions of one acre which go a long way in regard to solving the water problems on your own property. Mrs. Lowell: I don't know that I do. I have asked the Board of Health to come check. Mr. Raynor: What do you know specifically? Mrs. Lowell: I do not want to bring it up now. I just think before any property is sold it should be checked by the Board of Health. I know too much but I can't tell what I know. Does that make sense? Mr. Raynor: Do you have any other comments? Mrs. Lowell: No, if he is just breaking it up into two lots that is his right. Right there I have no objection at all. Mr. Raynor: about this closed. Does anyone subdivision? else present tonight have any questions Hearing none, I will declare the hearing Planning Board -3- July 23, 1979 Mr. Gordon moved for the adoption of the following.

Case, was submitted to the Planning Board on May 18, 1979, and an ap-~ication fee in the amount of $40 was paid on May 29, 1979, and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on the said subdivision application and plat at the Town Hall in Southold, New York, on June 12, 1979 at 7:30 p.m., and WHEREAS, the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations of the Town of Southold have been met by said subdivision plat and application. Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the application of the Estate of Frank H. Case for approval of said subdivision plat prepared by Young and Young and dated May 9, 1979, be approved subject to the following conditions of the Suffolk County Planning Commission being placed on the map. There shall not be any direct discharge into the creek of the stormwater runoff resulting from the development and improvement of the site. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be required during and ~mmediately after construction on any lot to insure that no eroded or other deleterious material is carried by stormwater into the creek. No sanitary disposal facility shall be installed or constructed within 100 feet of the edge of the creek or the edge of any tidal wetlands adjacent to the creek. Lot 3 shall be restricted against subdivision without review and approval of the plauning board since the lot is considerably oversized. Upon receipt of maps indicating the above within 60 days the Chairman of the Planning Board is authorized to endorse approval of said subdivision plat. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Gordon, 0rlowski Mr. 0rlowski moved for the adoption of the following. Mr. Gordon seconded the motion. Pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law State Environmental Quality Review and 6NYCRR Part 617, Section 617.10 and Chapter 44 of the Code of the Town of Southold, notice is hereby given that Southold To~n Planning Board as lead agency for the action described below, has determined that the project Plauning Board -4- July 23, 1979 will not have a significant effect on the environment. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION The minor subdivision of the Estate of Frank H. Case is a four-lot residential subdivision on 6.7 acres on the arm or branch of West Creek, Cutchogue, New York. 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; The NYSDEC has no objection to the designation of the Town Planning Board as lead agency. As the site is directly located upon tidal waters, a permit is needed but has not yet been applied for. Knowledge of this area indicates that all the parcels exceed minimum lot sizes and most of the property is buildable upland. Future homesites must be at least 75' from the landward edge of tidal wetlands. An individual notification letter of approval has been issued to Mr. Philip 0benauer to construct a one family dwelling on lot 4. Lack of response from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services indicates that there is no objection by that agency. The project will meet all requirements of the Code of the Town of Southold Subdivision of Land regulations.

The Board will review the map as to the criteria of sketch map. Planning Board -5- July 23, 1979 Long Pond Estates. Richard Cron, Esq. appeared.

The sketch map of this subdivision was reviewed. There are two unnumbered jib pieces surrounding the Grattan property. There is no meadow line shown on the map. Why does the turnaround extend through the park and playground area through open space? There does not seem to be a purpose for it. Areas subject to flooding should not be computed in the open space formula. The procedural sheet for subdivision will be sent to Mr. Haefeli, the attorney for the developers, along with a short Environmental Assessment Form. On motion made by Mr. Gordon, seconded by Mr. Orlowski, it was RESOLVED to approve the revised site plan received July 3, 1979 for Sea Breeze Village as presented by E. M. Kontokosta, P.E. The revisions are described as follows: ® The westerly building marked 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D is to be relocated approximately 12'0" south of its present location, aligning the front wall of unit 4A with the front wall of unit 3D. This will increase the setback dimension between the shore line and unit 4D, thus minimizing any visual obstruction unit 4D may create to the adjoining property owner on the west. Side yard setback and distance between buildings are to remain as originally approved. The existing one family dwelling (shown dotted on the diagram) is to be demolished, thus decreasing the land use density from 17 units to 16 units. This structure was found to be termite infested and structurally unsound, thus unsuitable for renovation. 3. The westerly 14 car parking area is to be rearranged and relocated approximately 15'0" south from the originally approved location, still maintaining the same number of parking spaces, same width of road, site lighting, all as originally approved. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Gordon, Orlowski Planning Board -7- July 23, 1979 On motion made by Mr. Orlowski, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED to grant an additional extension of time in which to present the final map of the subdivision "Bayview Farms" owned by Peter and Louise Blank until January l, 1980 because the developer is diligently pursuing a solution to his water problem.
