the existing one-car garage to a two-car garage and add a family room/studio with bath
and deck above garages. Located: 1920 Minnehaha Blvd., Southold. SCTM#87-3-63.1
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would anyone like to comment in favor of the application?
Would anyone like to comment against the application? The CAC has no
recommendation. I've got a letter here from Martin, Van deWalle, Donohue, McGahan,
Catalano and Fairgrieve. I don't think they're writing in support of this application. I'll
read it. (Letter in file.)
TRUSTEE SMITH: Covenants and Restrictions on property shouldn't concern us.
TRUSTEE KING: It's already a two-story house.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You and Kenny both looked at it?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Yes, I looked at it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Environmentally, I have no problem with it at all.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Where does it lie in reference to the wetlands?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: It's behind the bulkhead and the native species don't exist.
It's turf, lawn.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: This is across the street? Oh, I see, this will restrict the view of the
house across the street.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But they can get 10 permits from us. If they can't get it because
of a C&R they can't build it anyway.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Those issues should be brought up before the Building Dept.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Right.
TRUSTEE SMITH: We can make them put drywells in.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Covenants & Restrictions lie in the hands of the Building Dept.
and the Planning Board.
TRUSTEE SMITH: What did the CAC say?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: They didn't inspect. Is there any other comment on this
application?
TRUSTEE SMITH: I'll make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: So moved.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I'll make a motion to Approve the application with the condition
that the water from the drains have to be contained in drywells.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded. ALL AYES

TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone who would like to speak in favor of the
application?
FRANK NOTARO: My name is Frank Notaro and I'm representing Mr. Haase. I
believe we have submitted drawings. I have little sketches if you want them.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Anything that you want to submit is fine.

FRANK NOTARO: Basically Bob is looking to build an accessory building. It would
also be a storage facility. (can't hear)
TRUSTEE SMITH: I looked at it Al. It's going to be done in the parking lot and I think
it' s a good upgrade for the marina myself. I don't have any problem with it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Does anyone else have any comment?

En-Consultants, Inc. on behalf of MADELINE PISCIOTTA requests a Wetland Permit
to construct a two-story, one-family dwelling to be raised on pilings, deck; pervious
driveway; two (2) drywells; drinking water well; and sanitary system to be placed on
approx. 380 cy. of clean sand fill and contained within concrete retaining walls. Located:
8554 Main Bayview Rd., Southold. SCTM#87-5-23.7 & 23.8
JAMES BITSES: I'd like to see Ms. Pisciotta build a nice house there. I just have two
objections. If you look at the survey, it's a defective survey in that it has what is called
floating points. Ordinary surveys goes from point, lines, point, lines, back to the point of
beginning, an enclosed polygon. This one runs off the triangle and do not end at points.
Luckily, the surveyor, put in my fence posts, which I put in 40 years ago, to mark the
natural boundaries. The fence posts were penciled in and they are inside the alleged
boundary as laid out by the surveyor. I have no objections to the fact that the surveyor
and defective surveys. What I do object to is putting a defective into the official record
where it will take dynamite and a lawsuit to get it out. What I request is that a proper
survey be filed and that my fence posts, which have been there for 40 years and which
formerly had snow fence enclosing the entire property, be noted. It's as simple as that.
It's an obvious defect. It's an illegal application because the survey itself is legally
defective. My second point is that there will be a cesspool placed on this property and it
behooves the Trustees to see that the cesspool is as far from high water as the parcel will
allow. The present location of this cesspool being about 100' from a well pump that I
had on my property, that doesn't bother me too much, the fact is that in a few years, that
cesspool will be leaking into Corey Creek. If the cesspool could be put in the center of
the parcel, using the water line as the bounds, we would have a longer latency period
before it began (can't understand). Two points, and two points only. The most important
thing is the defective survey.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you.
JAMES BITSES: I'm pleased that my neighbor is going to build a house there, with
these two reservations. Thank you gentlemen.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. Is there any other comment?
TRUSTEE SMITH: The cesspools are out of our jurisdiction.
JAMES BITSES: Do you see what I'm talking about there? The lines just go out to
angles. There are no points. In fact, those angles are way over on my property.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We actually have a ... this is something that came up two years
ago. June 25, 1998, this Board granted a Trustee Permit for, I believe, exactly the same
thing. (changed tape). This question of the property lines came up at that time and I
believe you submitted a map back then with portions of the property shaded in, that was
the disputed area. Is that correct?
JAMES BITSES: Originally, there were two little islands there with trees. The trees are
still there. Around those islands, there was a salt marsh which will filled by the County
in 1962, at which time ! put in the fence posts. In other words, the island is now lower
than my property which was filled by the County. Those trees growing on it are around
75 to 100 years old, even though they look maybe 20 or 25. It took a long time to grow
those trees.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You submitted this two years ago. Is this what you're talking
about?
JAMES BITSES: Yes, this line is not accurate. Wherever the trees are is hers. 8' from
the trees are mine. This is the way the line went in. That is not an accurate line.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I'll read a letter that was submitted to the office today, that ! have
not read. It's from Joseph Ingegno who prepared the survey.
JAMES BITSES: Yeah, that's the guy that did it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: En-Consultants faxed me a letter from Jim Bitses and has asked
me respond to your office. This letter is the same as the one we responded to in June
1998 and our answer is still the same. (Letter in file.)
JAMES BITSES: You may think that they are incorrect but they have been there for 40
years. Under the law of adverse possession, he is wrong. He just doesn't know his law.
Let me look at that map for just a second. Let me show you where he departs. There are
no points. Here, as you pointed out, this is a floating point. He has another floating point
here. He doesn't have points there. He just angled lines out and drew them on the map.
That's not a survey. That's an improper survey. I'm a surveyor. The point is, my fence
post clearly delineates the shape of his forest. His forest is his property. 8' from the
forest is my property, and that's where the line goes. In fact, when they filled that area
in, if you want go take a look and you'll see that the tree area, the 50-75 year old trees, is
about 2' lower than the area next to it, which is mine, which was filled by the County in
1962. You can see the clear demarcation. I'm having a surveyor here in Southold go out
there and run down my points because ! have points in there that this guy ignored. !
don't want to see a defective go into the public record. In about two to three weeks ! will
have my own survey at which time we can straighten this whole thing out. Now, the
second point across was the cesspools. The cesspools, if we could put them in the center
of the tide water rather than over by my well, if would help. In other words it would take
longer for the effluent to get out to tide water if it's put in the center of the property.
That's one of the problems we have in the bay. It's being polluted by all of the waterfront
houses. It takes years, but eventually it happens. Good enough. I've taken up enough of
your time. Thank you gentlemen. ! appreciate you letting me approach the bench
because I'm hard of hearing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Not a problem. The cesspool, ! don't see how you could get it
any further away.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You can't. I just scaled it all out. It's 100' from the water to the
north. It's further there than it is... it's closer there than it is any other place.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: If you moved towards the center you would be moving it toward
the creek.
6
TRUSTEE FOSTER: You have 143' this way, diagonally to the other corner isn't even
an issue and then you've got 100' to the top of the bank. You really couldn't do anything
with it really.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The thing he brought up two years ago about the survey.., it's
those two little corners that's he's protesting. Even in the event that he's right about
those two corners, that's going to have absolutely no effect on this project or on our
review. If you drew the lines where he's saying they should be, straight across here, and
straight across here, it's going to have no effect on our review. I'm not saying that he's
wrong but all I'm saying is that it has no bearing on ours. Either way, it's not going to
effect any decision we're going to make.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: There must be a meets and bounds description of the property,
isn't there?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't think it's a significant enough boundary dispute to hold us
up. If Mr. Bitses is right, this is not going to effect the application.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I'll make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: So moved. ALL AYES.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I'll make a motion to Approve the application.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Seconded. ALL AYES
Jeffrey Butler, P.E. on behalf of JOSEPH BENDOWSKI requests a Wetland Permit to
construct a first-story addition on the east side of the house and deck addition. Located:
3060 Park Ave., Mattituck. SCTM#123-8-19
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Is anybody here on behalf of this?
JEFFREY BUTLER: I'm here for the Bendowski' s.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Okay. That was my inspection to do. I was sick all week and I
didn't get there. Today is really the first day that I have been out and about to any degree
so I'm going to recommend approving this subject to my inspection tomorrow morning.
JEFFREY BUTLER: It's still staked out.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: By looking at the plan, I don't see any problem with it.
JEFFREY BUTLER: There's a 75' setback line that I show on the plan from the
bulkhead.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: That's the way it's indicated. I have that in the file. Based on
what you've shown on the survey I don't think it's going to be a problem for us at all. I
apologize for not getting there. I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I've got not problem with it. Everything is behind this existing.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone else here who would like to comment in favor of
or against the application?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: They should definitely put drywells in.
TRUSTEE SMITH: I'll make a motion to close the hearing.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Seconded. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I'll make a motion to Approve the application based on my
inspection tomorrow morning and that drywells be installed to contain the additional roof
run-off and that we have a row of hay bales across the bulkhead side of the construction
to prevent any wash-out. Other, than that, I don't see a problem with it.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded. ALL AYES

Gary F. Olsen, Esq. on behalf of NORMAN WAMBACK requests a Wetland Permit to
construct a single-family dwelling, sanitary system, and driveway. Located: 12710
Horton's Lane, Southold. SCTM#54-7-1.3
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Is there anyone here to comment on this application?
MRS. HAWKINS: ! border the property line and ! am concerned about the placement of
the septic system so close to my property line. It looks like it's about 15'. I'm concerned
about the construction of it and also (can't hear) in the 1960's and the proximity of the
house so close to the driveway. ! certainly welcome my neighbors but in lieu of the
wetlands in front of them, ! believe that's going to decrease my property value.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would anyone else like to comment?
WHITNEY BOOTH: I'm across the street on Soundview Ave. No problem with the
layout as shown. ! presume this is hard and fast, that is shown on the map that we were
sent. That's it, right, with the distances and all of that?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Just a little bit of history on this, we've been out to this site at
least a half a dozen times. What was submitted shows a DEC wetland line on there.
Originally when this application got started, or this applicant got started on this project,
our Board's jurisdiction was 75'. They placed their house and septic system outside of
our jurisdiction on the plan so that they wouldn't have to go and get a permit from our
Board. That's why the house is placed there. Since then, and we sent them a letter of
non-jurisdiction and they could've build their house without our permit, since then, the
Town Board decided to increase our jurisdiction to 100' which now places this, and the
Town Attorney has advised us that now this places this whole project within our
jurisdiction of 100'. So, this is what is being proposed here, as it is. Is there anyone here
to represent Mr. Wamback at all? A normal setback from wetlands would be 50'. But,
this is certainly approvable by this Board. The cesspools would be out of our jurisdiction
and they would be under the review of the Suffolk County Health Dept. Now, if you're
saying that your well is right near there, is that what you're saying, that your well is near
their proposed cesspool? As far as this goes, this is what's being proposed for a
maximum setback from the wetlands. There is no one here to represent the applicant
here.
WHITNEY BOOTH: Again, I'm not arguing against this thing but ! am curious where it
says to the north of the house there will be no disturba, ce except the proposed well in
there. ! see Mr. Kreiger at work and I've never seen him do anything without disturbing
things pretty dramatically. How does that happen?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well ! think if you put a well in a no disturbance area you could
re-vegetate it afterwards and it would be... once it was disturbed then it could be redone
and it wouldn't be an area that was being used.
WHITNEY BOOTH: Okay, thank you very much.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is your well near that septic system?
MRS. HAWKINS: No, it's to the left.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: It's not shown on the survey, the well?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The Suffolk Co. Health Dept. regulates the placement of septic
systems and wells. This is located outside of our jurisdiction. We only have 100' from
the wetland line. Now if they have a problem with it, the applicant Mr. Wamback, is
going to have to come back to us or the DEC and whoever else is involved and change
that septic system location.
MRS. HAWKINS: How would they go to the septic system where the proposed tank is
for service when the driveway is there?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: They could just probably just back right in on your yard.
MRS. HAWKINS: When I'm not home right.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I don't know. Our truck has 300' of hose, so it's not unusual to
have to drag that much out to get to certain locations. Sometimes the neighbors are
accommodating but not always. I don't think that would be an issue as far as disturbance
to your property.
MRS. HAWKINS: Is the front of their house facing toward mine or am I going to have
their backyard against my driveway?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I'm not sure. Do we have a set of plans there?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No we don't.
TRUSTEE SMITH: We just look at the envelope.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: They have a footprint of a house if you would like to come up
and take a look at it. Our Board doesn't require a set of architectural drawings. We're
concerned more with the location of the house itself.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: See assumably by the shape of this house, if this were the front it
would be very awkward I think. This would be assumably their backyard.
MRS. HAWKINS: Our house is very close to where they are so we are right on top of
each other. However, if they don't mind having close neighbors.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Well we really don't get involved in zoning issues. This is
something that you might want to take up with the Building Dept. We deal with the
distance from the wetlands. We pretty much deal with the building envelope not
necessarily the house and the shape and size of it.
MR. HAWKINS: There was standing water there several months ago where the
cesspools are.
MRS. HAWKINS: So our issues should be taken up to the Building Dept.?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Well if those are your concerns with close proximity to your line
and your driveway and so forth. It's not really something we can regulate. As long as
everything these people want to do is outside of our jurisdiction or within our allowable
jurisdiction, we can't really dictate what kind of house they have, which way it's facing,
and so forth. But, the Building Dept. can help you with that I'm sure. The Health Dept.
will definitely take control of the septic system. That will be fully regulated by them,
inspected, and all the conditions will be met, I can guarantee you.
MR. & MRS. HAWKINS: Okay, thank you.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: If there aren't any more comments I'd like to make a motion to
close the hearing.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I'll make a motion to Approve the application with a 75' non
disturbance buffer as per plans submitted. There will be disturbance only for the proposed
well, as shown.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Seconded. ALL AYES

application? Would anyone here like to speak in favor of this application?
CATHERINE MESIANO: I'm here on behalf of the applicant. Mrs. Sullivan came to
you some time ago and has been working on this permit since last winter and received a
letter of non-jurisdiction from the Board in March. I received a DEC permit for this
project this week and we're back before the Board because your jurisdiction has been
modified and this is the plan that I presented last month before the Board with the DEC
permit so now I'm asking this Board for your Approval.

TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Our field notes indicate that we would like a 10' non-turf buffer
in front of the bulkhead put in during construction.
CATHERINE MESIANO: He's already planted Rosa Rugosa along the bulkhead. You
would like it extended back?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: 10' yes. And, we need drywells and gutters to handle the roof
rrun-off
CATHERINE MESIANO: Yes, that's part of the construction plan.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there any other comment?

TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone who would like to speak in favor of the

JIM FITZGERALD: We talked about this last month and the Board sent Ken and ! back

on the drawings, which ! just handed to Lauren. The configuration has changed to a "T".
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: When ! met you out on field inspection, ! walked out into the
water with my waders and ! measured 53' correct? What you have drawn on your
diagram is 53' of catwalk, 16' ramp, and then a 6' float, which adds up to approx. 72'.
JIM FITZGERALD: The measurement that we took, Ken, was from the front of the wall.

Proper-T Permit Services on behalf of C&D REALTY requests a Wetland Permit to
construct a single-family dwelling with private well and on-site sewage disposal system.
Located: 5640 Cox Neck Rd., Mattituck. SCTM#113-4-1
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Is there anyone here who would like to speak for or against the
application?
JIM FITZGERALD: We went over this a number of times and at the last Trustee field
inspection you asked that we show contours on the map and we have that now before
you. The side property line is 115'.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: ! think we'll have to look at it. With the survey, we'll have to
look at it January 17th.
JIM FITZGERALD: Look at what.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Look at the site.
JIM FITZGERALD: ! hear what you're saying but ! don't get it.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well we just received this today, tonight.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: This is different from what we saw before. Or is it the same?
Everything is in the same place?
JIM FITZGERALD: We added the contours.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: My question is about the footprint of the building. There's not
much non-disturbance from the wetlands. Non-disturbance zone for a buffer.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: What did we have off of that one corner? It was only like 17'
wasn't it?
JIM FITZGERALD: We had a discussion about whether the phragmites were more to
the edge of the wetlands and ! think there's a significant stand ofphragmites there. The
edge of the wetlands is the top of the bank.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: It was wet when you stepped in there.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: ! remember it dropped right off and stepped right down.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes, it shows it on the survey here. It shows where the drop-off
is.
11
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Right. He's explaining that it's 50' from the footprint of the
house to the edge of the wetlands. I recall that when we were at the site, we measured it,
three of us measured it, and it was 15' to the edge of the wetlands. He's saying it's 50'.
JIM FITZGERALD: Ken, what were you saying is the edge of the wetlands?
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Where we walked it, which was probably a couple feet into the
phragmites and then it dropped, dramatically, and it actually became wet.
JIM FITZGERALD: The line of the top of the bank is here. It's at elevation 4'. The top
of the bank is 4'.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I'm really just getting this. I'm not prepared to vote on this
tonight. I want to take another look at it in the field.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I'm sure there's a wetland at 4'. I'm sure wetlands do grow at
4'. Especially in Mattituck Creek where there's a rise and fall of tide approx. 6'. That's
why I'm having a problem sayings it's 50' from the footprint to the wetlands rather than
what we measured at 15'.
JIM FITZGERALD: Okay, well we'll meet again and you can show me where the edge
of the wetland is and how you determine what constitutes the edge of the Trustee
wetlands.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You start out here, on your contour, if you start out on the east
side, with your first wetland marker, you start out at the 6' contour, if you follow that 6'
contour, and you chose to follow the 5' and then the 4' to get to that wetland line, if you
had followed the 6' contour, the wetland generally follows the contour. So, that's what
we want to see in the field, where that wetland line is.
JIM FITZGERALD: I put the flags (can't hear).
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well to call it a bulkhead is to be very generous.
JIM FITZGERALD: But there's significant space between the bulkhead and the top of
the bank.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I'll make a motion to Table the application.
TRUSTEE KING: Seconded. ALL AYES

Abigail Wickham on behalf of MATTITUCK PARK DISTRICT requests a Wetland
Permit to stabilize and contain embankment with retaining wall. Construction of
retaining wall, 48 linear ft. at 3'2" and 84 linear ft. at 4'2", to stabilize and contain
embankment and permit access to lake and drainage pipe. Located: N/s Wickham Ave.,
Mattituck. SCTM#107-4-11
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Would anyone like to speak in favor of the application?
CHRIS TALBOT: I'm the Commissioner of the Mattituck Park District. This was
before you already and there was some opposition to this project. I noticed that the
opposition isn't here tonight but we do appreciate their concerns with this project. It did
get a little out of hand with the length of the wall but (can't hear) we wouldn't do
anything detrimental to the pond. Secondly, environmentally thriving right now are the
amount of ducks and the blue heron that are in there, there's a lot of fish and other
wildlife. As far as the wall goes we have a proposal to remove 30' and cut down those
top posts. (Speaking too low.)
GERRY GOEHRINGER: We would really like to get this project completed. If you
have any specific questions we'll ask you to Table this until afterward and if you have
12
any questions of us at this time, we have absolutely no problem with doing anything that
you've requested.
TRUSTEE SMITH: Well we have a recommendation that we made if you're agreeable
to that then I don't think we have any problem.
GERRY GOEHRINGER: That was the four things that you mentioned?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: They might have been amended Gerry because we were out there
again.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I would like to see if anyone has any disagreements or would
like to speak against it. No? Ok. On our December 13th field inspection, the Board
recommended the following: Remove 48 iA' off the western end, have the structure no
more than 2 iA' high, the whole structure no more than 30" high, which is the same, and
36' of benches.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Can you take the boards that you take off and put a bench in.
GERRY GOEHRINGER: All the way along the bottom? Exactly how high?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Whatever is appropriate.
GERRY GOEHRINGER: Whatever we have the timber for?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Yeah, so the kids can sit and put their skates on. Or sit and watch
the ducks.
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We look at it as kind of a recreational area. Some people value
the wildlife but it's also a recreational area. When I was a kid there were those rail road
ties there and you could sit and put your skates on and now they're all gone. So, having a
bench there would be nice.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: I think putting a light on that telephone pole was part of it, wasn't
it?
NEIGHBOR: Yes, there was supposed to be a light on the telephone pole there but the
electrician messed it up.
GERRY GOEHRINGER: Will those particular stipulations be stated within the Permit?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: If everyone is happy with that, yes.
GERRY GOEHRINGER: Just a quick question. Are you going to Approve that tonight?
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Yes.
GERRY GOEHRINGER: Can I just address the Board after you Approve it for just one
second?
TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Sure.
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: Any other comment? Do I have a motion to close the hearing?
TRUSTEE SMITH: So moved.
TRUSTEE KING: Seconded. ALL AYES
TRUSTEE POLIWODA: I'll make a motion to Approve the application with a new set
of plans with respect to our field inspection to remove 48 iA' off the western end and the
whole structure shall be no more than 30" high and 36' of benches, and a light.
TRUSTEE FOSTER: Seconded. ALL AYES
