We have the application and correspondence in the file with regard to the applicant's subdivision. We have received the short Environmental Assessment Form that pertains to the subdivision. We have an easement and right-of-way with regard to the "Fairway Farms" property to the proposed subdivision. We have on file a copy of the covenants and restrictions with regard to the property, a certificate of ownership, restriction on the property, correspondence from the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation addressed to the Board. Dear Mr. Raynor: We have received your May 29, agency status for the above matter. designation. 1979 letter requesting lead We have no objection to this As the site is directly located upon tidal waters, a permit from this Department 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. Please note that an individual notification letter of approval has been issued to Mr. Philip 0benauer to construct a one family dwelling on lot 4. Very truly yours, /s/ Roy L. Haje Alternate Local Tidal Wetlands Permit Administrator We have sent to the Suffolk County Planning Commission the final map and at this point we have not received recommendations from the County. I also have a receipt from the Town Clerk for the fee. As is the custom with this Board we would like to open the hearing to anyone here this evening that has any objection to the proposed subdivision in question, the property of the Frank H. Case Estate. Hearing none, is there anyone present this evening that would like to speak in favor of the subdivision of the property of the Frank H. Case Estate. Planning Board -3- June 12, 1979 Mr~ Case: Naturally, I am in favor of it as I am applying for it. Is there anything else you need? Mr. Raynor: The only thing the Board is waiting for presently is the Suffolk County Planning Department recommendations. They have not responded to our letter of the 29th of last month. Whatever decision the Board would come to tonight would be subject to whatever conditions that the County would put on that we would think would be applicable to the property. You also realize that as these lots are sold and released it will be necessary for individual lots to obtain Tidal Wetlands Permits. Do you have anything else this evening. Mr. Case: Not unless you have some questions. Mr. Coyle: Are they going to use swales with this or what type of curbing are they planning on having? Mr. Raynor: On the minor we probably designated there would be no drainage structures built because of the oversized lots. Mr. Coyle: There is a form recorded that these are oversized lots, that these will not be subdivided? Mr. Raynor: We have a list of covenants and restrictions. Mr. Coyle: I wouldn't know if this is one of them or not. Mr. Raynor read the covenants and restrictions. Mr. Gordon: I have no questions. Mr. Orlowski: I have no questions. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone present that has some information that should come before this board at this time. Hearing none, we will declare this public hearing closed. Charles S.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION The minor subdivision of Peter Sled~eski is a three-lot residential subdivision on 3.616 acres at Orient in the Town of Southold, 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 project as it does not appear that the project lies within the jurisdiction of the Tidal Wetlands Act due to distance from tidal water and elevation; The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has stated that it is expected that the conditions will be suitable for water supply and sewage disposal; The project will meet all requirements of the Code of the Town of Southold Subdivision of Land regulations. Further information can be obtained by contacting Ms. Muriel Brush, Secretary, Southold Town Planning Board, Town Hall, Southold, New York 11971. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Orlowski This notice is to be sent to Commissioner Flacke, Supervisor Martocchia, Frederick J. Tedeschi, Esq., Roy L. Haje, NYSDEC, Royal R. Reynolds, SCDHS, George Fisher, Sr. Building Inspector, and is to be posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board. Mr. Coyle moved for the adoption of the following resolution. Mr. Gordon seconded the motion. WHEREAS~ a formal application for the approval of a subdivision plat entitled Minor Subdivision of Peter Sled~eski was submitted to the Planning Board on April 16, 1979, and an application fee of $30 was paid on April 18, 1979, and Planning Board -5- June 12, 1979 WH~R~S, a public hearing was held on the said subdivision application and plat at the Town Hall in Southold, New York, on May 8, 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 Peter Sledjeski for approval of said subdivision plat prepared by Roderick Van Tuyl, P.C. and dated May 17, 1979 be approved and that the Chairman of the Planning Board be authorized to endorse approval on said subdivision plat. Before issuance of certificate of occupancy for lots 2 and 3 the right-of-way must be improved to the specifications of the Planning Board inspector. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Orlowski 8:00 p.m. Public Hearing on the question of the approval of the final map of the subdivision to be known as "Richmond Shores at Peconic". Richard Lark, Esq., appeared. Robert Cummins, one of the owners, appeared during the hearing. Mr. Raynor read the legal notice of hearing and presented proof of publication. He went over the file. Mr. Raynor: We will ask if there if anyone here this evening that would like to speak in opposition to the proposed subdivision entitled "Richmond Shores at Peconic". Hearing none, is there any- one present this evening that would like to speak in favor. Mr. Lark: I represent Mr. Cummins who is the principle in REC Realty. Pursuant to prior requests of the Planning Board I have submitted to the Town Attorney some time ago and I don't have a final answer, the proposed declaration of covenants and restrictions. He said he wanted the homes association included in the covenants and restrictions. I submitted them to him. I have a photocopy so you will have it for yourselves. I went over it orally with him. I haven't got that in writing. Mrs. Young said he would write directly to the Planning Board. The Suffolk County Planning Dept. asked that some areas be recreation and some be left open. It is in the working drawings. The trees he has agreed to put in. They have all been worked out with the Soil and Water Conservation District because they wanted a buffer on the Main Road. As far as I know everything has been complied with. You surprised me when you said something from the highway superintendent because it was discussed with him and Mr. Tuthill at one time after the bubbles were eliminated and he said fine. Mr. Raynor: He will get another letter from this board. Planning Board -6- June 12, 1979 Mr. Lark: He has been over it and I think everything has been complied with. If the final map is approved the necessary linens have to come forth and the declaration of covenants and restrictions, as approved by the Town Attorney, would be put on simultaneously with the filing of the map. I would recommend that the board pass it with the condition of the covenants. Mr. Raynor: Whatever action the board would take would be subject to receipt of the final county recommendations which we do not have. One of the items that showed on the preliminary map and if you look at your final map you will see "Reserved Section D". On the preliminary map this was designated as park and playground area. I think somewhere along the line there has been an omission by the engineer in that the final map does not show park and recreation area. Mr. Lark: On the covenants and restrictions which you have before you, to answer your question, on page 3 item 14C it says "Reserved area C & D shall remain in open space for recreational and conserva- tional purposes; however, the Declarant, its successors or assigns, may construct recreational facilities in these areas subject to the approval of the Planning Board of the Town of Southold." Mr. Raynor: The board will have to have a chance to review these. Mr. Lark: Whereas Reserved Areas A & B are to remain open space for recreational and conservational purposes and remain undisturbed in perpetuity. Mr. Raynor: I am sure you realize several lots are going to need tidal wetlands permits at some juncture. We have specifically because of the stage this subdivision is in not gone through the SEOP~A process. We don't think it is incumbent on the board at this time because we are in the final stage. I am sure we will get reference back in regard to this application. Sooner or later it will be referred back to us. Mr. Lark: I know as far as Recreation C is concerned there would possibly be mooring permits and so forth. It is definitely tidal wetlands. Mr. Raynor: Have you received a copy of the proposed bond? Mr. Lark: No. Mr. Raynor: You realize at the time it is recommended and accepted by the Town Board there is a three year limit on completion. Mr. Lark: The board approves it subject to the town attorney. Then you recommend a bond to the Town Board and once the bond is set it is just a question of getting this thing finalized and getting the bond posted. That is the time the covenants and restrictions would go on. Mr. Raynor: Mr. Coyle, do you have anything else? Planning Board -7- June 12, 1979 Mr. Coyle: The map of May 14th indicates there will be a fire hydrant. Mr. Lark: It is on the working drawings. The site plan doesn't get filed, just with the Town. That is put on the record at the County Center. That is part of his construction performance that he has to do. Mr. Raynor: Mr. Gordon and Mr. 0rlowski, do you have anything? Mr. Gordon: No. Mr. Orlowski: No. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone present this evening that has some information regarding this subdivision that they would like to bring before this board at this time. Hearing none, I will declare the hearing closed. A copy of the Suffolk County Planning Department recommendations on the preliminary map is to be sent to Mr. Lark. Country Club Estates fire well. Mr. Lark is the attorney for the Cutchogue Fire Department. As soon as he receives the recording fee for the fire well from Mr. Babcock he will send a letter on behalf of the fire district. O'Conne~and Lizza. Philip Ofrias, Esq., appeared. Mr. Raynor would like something in writing as to what is going to happen to the property north of the railroad tracks. Mr. Ofrias said at the present time there are no plans to do anything north of the railroad. Lot #1 will be purchased by whoever owns Kreiger Well and Pump Corporation and Lot #3 will be purchased by Harvey Bagshaw, Inc. Parcel 3 will be annexed to the diagonal piece. Mr. Raynor suggested it be put in with Bagshaw's property and excluded from the subdivision. There is no zoning designation on the map. The street should be relabelled right-of-way or easement. Mr. Gordon moved for the adoption of the following, Mr. Coyle 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 ~4 of the Code of the Town of Southold, notice is hereby given that Southold Town Planning Board as lead agency for the action described below, has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Planning Board -8- June 12, 1979 DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION The minor subdivision of Catherine Bitses is a four-lot residential subdivision of 3.769 acres at Southold in the Town of Southold, 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 indicates that this proOect may lie within State jurisdiction under the Tidal Wetlands Act as it appears to lie within 300 feet of tidal wetlands. Further review will be made upon receipt of application to NYSDEC.

The following letter was received from the Mattituck Fire District in response to a request from the Planning Board for their recommendations. Gentlemen: As per your letter of April 30th regarding the closing of the alleyway at the Mattituck Mall the Board of Fire Commissioners of the Mattituck Fire District has discussed the matter and investigated the firematic impact this would have. Their view is that any access to a fireground that might occur should be protected, therefore, the board would recommend that this particular access be preserved. /s/ John A. Keogh, Sect. Mattituck Fire District Mr. Coyle made a motion, seconded by Mr. Orlowski and carried that the Planning Board concurs with the recommendation of the Mattituck Fire District. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED to waive the requirement of Section 106-32 G (1) of the Code of the Town of Southold in relation to the length of blocks for the subdivision of North Fork Equities on Maple Lane, Greenport because it is unlikely that the Town of Southold would ever accept dedication of the proposed reserved strip on the map dated April 26, 1979. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Orlowski Plar~ning Board -13- June 12, 1979 Wells Estate. The Board reviewed the recommendations from the various agencies. There was a question on lot 2 which the Health Dept. by phone had said could hold pools and would be able to get water. The board would like lot 2 staked on the westerly corners fronting on Wells Road and the Board informed when it has been done so it can make an inspection. The following letter was received from Lawrence M. Tuthill, P.E. Gentlemen: I recommend that all monuments at corners of the boundaries of subdivisions be of 2,500 lb. concrete, with a minimum size of 4" x 4" x 2' and containing one 3/8" steel reinforcing rod down the center. I would also like to recommend that monuments be required on all boundary lines that terminate at the waters edge being placed normally a distance from the high water mark as follows: Creeks 25', Bays 50' and Sounds 100'. /s/ Lawrence M. Tuthill Mr. Coyle made a motion, seconded by Mr. Gordon and carried to accept the recommendations of Mr. Lawrence M. Tuthill, P. E., as outlined in above letter. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Orlowski, it was RESOLVED to recommend to the Southold Town Board the bond amount of $125,000 as prepared by Lawrence M. Tuthill, P. E., under date of May 29, 1979 for the subdivision to be known as "Richmond Shores at Peoonic". Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Orlowski The following report was received from John W. Davis, Planning Board Inspector, regarding the subdivision of Appolonia Kirchgessner at Mattituck. I inspected the road work at the above subdivision today with R. F. Nine, contractor for the owner. The 35 foot right-of-way is cleared and stumps removed from the site. Topsoil and humus was removed prior to placing road material. The road (width of 25 ft. by 750 ft. in length) is constructed with a mixture of sand, bankrun and some loam for 6" thickness. Planning Board -14- June 12, 1979 There are no drainage structures but there does not appear to be any drainage problems with the road work. No profile was submitted. The road as built follows more or less the existing flat contours and is a little higher. There is a 40 ft. diam. turnaround at the end of the road. In accordance with the owner-contractor agreement, no surface treatment was used. This type of road construction will require maintenance. At present the roadway is stabilized, provides access for emergency vehicles and is also satisfactory for the small amount of traffic that will use it. I recommend approval of this minor subdivision road. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED to accept and approve the report of John W. Davis dated June 9, 1979 in reference to the right-of-way in the minor subdivision of Appolonia Kirchgessner at Mattituck. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Orlowski The following report was received from John W. Davis, Planuing Board Inspector, regarding the preliminary subdivision map for Joseph Macari at Laurel. From ~ield observations, the location of the dual exit and entrance roads (Road 'D') as shown on maps dated Feb. 13, 1979 present a sight distance problem. Northbound traffic from the subdivision has good sight distance. Southbound traffic from the property, due to curvature and a sharp minus grade in Sound Avenue, has poor site distance. In my opinion better sight conditions would be obtained for traffic leaving or entering this subdivision by having Road 'D' located between lots 48 and 49 although even here visibility would be limited by the curves in the Sound Avenue Road. The Planning Board will take this recommendation under advisement and will invite Mr. Davis to take a field trip with the Planning Board to the area. The following letter under date of June Planning Board for recommendations by the Dear A1 (Martocchia), 1979 was referred to the Town Clerk. I would like to suggest that my fees for bond estimates be increased from $50 for the first ten acres and $2 for each additional acre to $100 for the first ten acres and $3 for each additional acre. Planning Board -15- June 12, 1979 A recent subdivision entitled "Richmond Shores at Peconic" has over twenty items, a bond estimate of $125,000 and an inspection fee of $5,000. The fee for the estimate will be only $78. The present fee is not in proportion to costs of the factors. Sincerely, /s/ Larry (Tuthill) On motion made by Mr. Gordon, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was P~SOLVED to recommend to the Southold Town Board an increase in the fees of Lawrence M. Tuthill~ P. E., Town Engineer, to $100 for the first ten acres and $3 for each additional acre for the bond estimate. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Orlowski Mr. Raynor announced that there are bonds or passbooks for 22 subdivisions where the time to do the work either has expired or will expire shortly. According to Section 277 of Town Law work must be completed within three years un~ess the performance bond has been extended by the planning board with consent of the parties thereto. Letters will be sent to the developers or their attorneys informing them of this matter and asking them to take appropriate steps. A letter has been received from Robert J. Krupski of the Russell P. Silleck Agency regarding a proposed subdivision west of Birch Hills in Cutchogue. Mr. Krupski is to be advised that he should present a sketch plan and make an appointment to meet with the board. Motion was made by Mr. Coyle, seconded byMr. 0rlowski and carried to approve the minutes of the special meeting of May 30, 1979. Motion was made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon and carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of May 21, 1979.
