DESCRIPTION
LAND
The subject has a total area of 7.0± acres. It is part of a larger property with The
property has a shape with a northerly border having 175±' of frontage along the southerly
side of Oregon Road, a westerly border of 1,980±', a southerly border of 191+', and an
easterly border 1,991±'. The appraisers have not been furnished a survey depicting the
actual subject portion of the overall property. We have been instructed to exclude 1.00+
acres and to presume that this area would include the improvements and be iocated at the
northerly end of the property. We also presume that the subject would retain sufficient
access to Oregon Road to permit development of a residential subdivision, in this case a
minimum of 25'.
The above dimensions were taken from the Suffolk County Tax Map and the subject
deed. A copy of the tax map is included in the Addenda to this report.
Utilities (electric and telephone) are available along the property's road frontage.
Oregon Road is a two way, two lane, publicly maintained macadam paved road. Public
water is not available to the subject. Sanitary waste is generally handled by on-site septic
systems in this area.
The property has a generally level topography and is mostly cleared and in use as
farmland. It is situated at or near grade with the abutting road.
Land use surrounding the subject is primarily vacant and improved residential
properties and farmland.

PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS:
7990 OREGON ROAD
CUTCHOGUE, NEW YORK 11935
TAX MAP NO. 1000-095-04-Portion of Lot 6
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cashin Associates, P.C. (CA) has performed an evaluation of the parcel identified on the County
of Suffolk Real Property Tax Map, State of New York by Tax Map Number 1000-095-04-p/o 6
in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 1527-05,
Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Process, and Suffolk County Department of Environment and Energy Environmental Site
Assessment Criteria (Memorandum, August 1999).
The subject property is approximately 8.3 acres (6-acres development rights easement) in size.
The subject property (6-acre easement) is currently being utilized as agricultural land. The un-
included portion of the subject property includes a two-story dwelling with detached garage on a
2.3-acre parcel. No structures on the subject property were observed or reported to CA during the
inspection. CA accessed the property from Oregon Road, a paved roadway which serves as the
northern boundary of the property. Adjacent properties consist of: agricultural lands to the north,
east, south and west.
The results of the investigation found no recognized environmental concerns associated with the
subject property. However, the following issue was identified:
Oeehin Aeeooietes, P.C. · Engineering · Planning · ConetruoCion Manegemenc
Historic Agricultural Use: Due to the apparent historic agricultural use of the subject property,
as well as land in the surrounding area, during the 1930s (and possibly prior), it is assumed that
pesticides and herbicides were utilized over a significant period of time. Regional contamination
of shallow groundwater from pesticide use has been thoroughly documented for much of eastern
Long Island. Soil contamination has also been documented for lands under long-term agricultural
use. Site specific investigation would be needed to determine if long-term agricultural use has
affected soils and possibly groundwater at the site.

I have a notice that this has appeared as a legal in the local newspaper and it has appeared
on the Town Clerk's bulletin board outside. I have a memo dated September 22 from
Mark Terry, the LWRP coordinator which says in the critical part, 'based upon the
information provided on the LWRP consistency assessment form submitted to this
department as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the
proposed action is consistent with the policy standards and therefore is consistent with
the LWRP.' There is a short environmental assessment form filled out and signed and
that completes the record for this hearing.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town
Board on this public hearing?
NANCY SAWASTYNOWICZ: Nancy Sawastynowicz, Cutchogue. I would like to
thank the Ficner family for being so great in protecting some farmland and I am glad the
Town is going to approve it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. And by the way, since that name has been
pronounced five different ways, I went to high school it was always Ficner.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Just on behalf of Melissa Spiro who couldn't make it
because she is at a county land preservation meeting tonight, the Ficner parcel, if you
look at the map, is really important because to the west the county has purchased
development rights to a large farm, to the east the town has purchased development rights
on two adjacent farms and so it fills in that area very nicely and we do thank the Ficner
family.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. would anybody else like to come up and address
the Town Board on this public hearing? ( No response)

liability, costs, attorneys' fees, judgments, expenses, charges or liens
to Grantee or any of its officers, employees, agents or independent

resulting from this Easement, all of which shall be considered Grantor's
obligations.

contractors; and (b) from actions or claims of any nature by third
parties arising out of the entering into or exercise of rights under this
easement, excepting any of those matters arising solely from the acts
of Grantee, its officers, employees, agents, or independent
contractors.
5.04 Grounds Maintenance Reauirement

or to the Property or crops, livestock or livestock products resulting
from such causes.
6.03 Enforcement Riqhts of Grantee
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Grantee's remedies at
taw for any violation of this Easement may be inadequate. Therefore,
in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights of Grantee
hereunder at law or in equity, in the event any breach, default or
violation of any term, provision, covenant or obligation on Grantor's
part to be observed or performed pursuant to this Easement is not
cured by Grantor within ten (:LO) days notice thereof by Grantee
(which notice requirement is expressly waived by Grantor with respect
to any such breach, default or violation which, in Grantee's reasonable
judgment, requires immediate action to preserve and protect any of
the agricultural values or otherwise to further the purposes of this
Easement), Grantee shall have the right at Grantor's sole cost and
expense and at Grantee's election,
(i) To institute a suit to enjoin or cure such breach, default or
violation by temporary and/or permanent injunction,
(ii)
To enter upon the Property and exercise reasonable efforts
to terminate or cure such breach, default or violation
and/or to cause the restoration of that portion of the
Property affected by such breach, default or violation to
the condition that existed prior thereto, or
(iii)
To seek or enforce such other legal and/or equitable relief
or remedies as Grantee deems necessary or desirable to
ensure compliance with the terms, conditions, covenants,
obligations and purposes of this Easement; provided,
however, that any failure, delay or election to so act by
Grantee shall not be deemed to be a waiver or a forfeiture
of any right or available remedy on Grantee's part with
respect to such breach, default, or violation or with respect
to any other breach, default or violation of any term,
condition, covenant or obligation under this Easement.
The cure period in this Section 6.03 may be extended for a reasonable
time by Grantee if such restoration cannot reasonably accomplished
within ten (10) days.

11
and received as of the date of its manual delivery or three (3) business
days after the date of its mailing.
6.05 No Waiver
Grantee's exercise of one remedy or relief under this ARTICLE
SIX shall not have the effect of waiving or limiting any other remedy or
relief, and the failure to exercise or delay in exercising any remedy
shall not constitute a waiver of any other remedy or relief or the use of
such other remedy or relief at any other time.
6.06 ExtinquishmentJCondemnation

jurisdiction may, if it determines that conditions surrounding the
Property have changed so much that it becomes impossible to fulfill
the Purpose of this Easement described in Section 0.03, extinguish or
modify this Easement in accordance with applicable law. In that case,
the mere cessation of farming on the Property shall not be construed
to be grounds for extinguish of this Easement.
If at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be taken
or condemned by eminent domain, by the Grantee or by any other
governmental entity, then this Easement shall terminate with respect
to the Property, or portions thereof so taken or condemned, and the
Property shall not be subject to the limitations and restrictions of this
Easement. l'n such event, the Grantor, his successors or assigns, shall
not be required to pay any penalties, but the value of the Property
shall reflect the limitations of this Easement. Any condemnation award
payable to the Grantor shall be in proportion to the value attributable
to the residual agricultural and/or open space value of the Property
and if the condemnation is undertaken by an entity other than the
Grantee, then the remaining portion of the condemnation award shall
be payable to the Grantee in proportion to the value attributable to the
development rights transferred hereby.

amendments had been set forth herein.

Re:
Waiver - Suffolk County Agricultural District #1 - Acquisition of Land
Dear Ms. Spiro:
The Department has reviewed documentation submitted by the Town of Southold, to waive the Notice
of Intent filing requirements pursuant to Section 305(4) of the Agriculture and Markets Law, in connection with
its acquisition of active farmland in Suffolk County Agriculturel District #1. The documentation includes a
waiver signed by:
Carolyn Blaskiewica, Barbara Bokina, Susan Cheshire,
Jeanette Sayre and Stacia Ficner
Landowner(s)
The above waiver meets the requirements of Section 305(4)(d) and 1 NYCRR Section 371.8.
Therefore, the Notice of Intent filing requirements in paragraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision (4) are deemed
waived for acquisition of property by the Town. Should the project encompass acquisition of other parcels of
more than one acre from an active farm, or ten acres or more from the district, the Section 305(4) Notice
provisions could still apply to those parcels.
You are reminded that waiving the filing requirements in paragraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision (4) does
not relieve the Town of its obligation under paragraph (a) to use all practicable means in undertaking a
proposed action to minimize or avoid adverse impacts on agriculture within agricultural districts, if you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me.
