HomeMy WebLinkAbout1000-34.-2-1 (2)KAIROS VILLAGE DISCUSSION ITEMS
May 1 I, 2006
· Site Plan Application: See Anthony Trezza's document.
· Schedule Town Board work session to discuss revised concept plan
of 18 units (9 buildings) and no accessory apartments. Needed items:
revised preliminary sketch plan of units, what are bedroom sizes, what
are proposed sales prices for units, what is projected cost of monthly
maintenance, etc. This meeting should also focus on requesting a
change of zone to AHD on the Town Board's motion as well as
Sanitary Flow Credits (see below). Request that any fee waivers from
the Town will facilitate the ability to lower the sales price. Note:
According to AHD regulations, the park and playground fee of $7500
is already waived, however, some Town Board and Planning Board
members like the concept of dedicated play/recreation areas within
clustered developments. Phillip will schedule meeting when
aforementioned tasks are completed.
· Schedule Planning Board meeting to review revised preliminary plan
and get feedback. Anthony Trezza will serve as liaison to facilitate.
Note: This can be done before TB work session or fight after.
· SanitarF Flow Credits: The Health Department requires 9 SFC to
build 18 units on the site. The County of Suffolk has 8 SFC from park
land in Greenport West that will be donated towards the required 9
credits. Marian Zucker will assure that this resolution has been passed
prior to work session (or in process). 1 remaining credit is needed:
Phillip spoke with Land Preservation Coordinator .... 1 SFC within the
hamlet of Greenport West is expected from a closing of the Carroll
site in the near future (late May or early June).
· SE{)RA: TownBoard will establish itself as lead agency to facilitate
environmental review upon receipt of site plan application.
· Contract process between Count% Town & CLT: Marian Zucker to
explain process.
ALL OF THE ABOVE PROCESSES MAY OCCUR CONCURRENTLY.
Doc.KV Planning Process.2
How to get the Process Started
The Community Land Trust of Southold (Kairos Village)
1000-34-2-1
This is a general description of how the process will be initiated as it pertains to the
Change of Zone Application and the Residential Site Plan Application. This is not a
detailed list of the entire site plan review or the change of zone application processes and
should not be construed as such. As is the case with all applications for affordable
housing developments, the Planning Board and staff will take a proactive role and work
closely with the ap)glicant to ensure that the application is processed as expeditiously as
possible.
STEP 1-Notice of Disapproval
Applicant needs to obtain Notice of Disapproval from the Building Department. This will
require the submission of a site plan/survey (including building layout, dimensions,
setbacks, etc.), a building permit application and $35 fee to the Building Department.
Once the Notice of Disapproval is issued, the Change of Zone application, the Residential
Site Plan application and the application for Sanitary Flow Credits shall be submitted and
reviewed concurrently.
STEP 2-Submission of a Residential Site Plan Application
Applicant to submit a completed residential site plan application to initiate the site plan
review process and the change of zone request. The completed application must include
the following information:
Notice of Disapproval from the Building Department, application form,
disclosure affidavit, EAF Form Part I, authorization letter(s), LWRP Coastal
Consistency Form
Seven sets of preliminary plans to include:
a. survey of the property
b. site development plan
c. yield map
d. grading and drainage plans
e. existing and proposed landscaping
f. architectural review materials (including elevation and lighting details,
samples of materials, colors, type pfroofing and siding, etc.)
g. Existing Resources and Site Analysis Plan (ERSAP)
h. Application fees (unless the Town Board agrees to waive the
application fees)
STEP 3-SEQRA Coordination and Review
Upon submission of the above-referenced application materials, the Planning Board will
forward the site plan to the Town Board to initiate the change of zone application. We
will also refer the plans to our consultant for the environmental review.
In addition, we will initiate a coordinated SEQRA review by sending out the lead agency
letters to the appropriate agencies. After 30 days, the Planning Board will establish itself
as lead agency and will make a SEQRA determination only when the environmental
review has been prepared by the consultant and received and reviewed by the
Planning Board.
STEP 4-Site Plan Review Process, Change of Zone Application, Transfer of
Sanitary Flow Credits
While the environmental assessment is being prepared, the residential site plan process
and the change of zone will move forward concurrently in accordance with all of the
applicable provisions of the Town Code.
Request for additional information and referral of the site plan to the appropriate agencies
will occur during the process and the applicant will be advised each time we receive
comments from the Town Engineer, the Fire District, the Suffolk County Planning
Commission and the Architectural Review Board.
At this stage, the applicant should petition the Town Board for a transfer of Sanitary Flow
Credits in accordance with the requirements of the Health Department.
HELPFUL HINTS:
1. Applicant should meet with the Health Department to ensure that the proposal
complies with their regulations and to determine the number of sanitary flow
credits needed for the density proposed.
2. Obtain a letter of Water Availability from the Suffolk County Water Authority.
3. Be sure that the application submission is as complete as possible, particularly the
site development plan and the EAF Form Part I (Long Form).
4. File the NYSDOT Highway Work Permit Application as soon as possible, if
needed.
5. Provide Planning staff with an agent or "point person" for whom we will be in
direct contact with on a regular basis. We can provide updates as needed.
6. Only schedule meetings with Planning staffas needed. The more time we spend
in meetings, the less time we spend processing applications.
7. BE VIGILANT! Make sure you get re-submissions or request for additional
information to this office on a Thursday in order to get on the agenda for the
following Monday.
Note: There is no park and playground fee requirement in the Affordable Housing
District.

Dear Ms. Hunter:
~/our July 16, 2005 Letters
Affordable Housing
Route 25, Greenport
Our Case No. 05-278
Thank you for your letters regarding your concerns over the affordable housing project at Route
25 and Route 48 in Greenport. Your letters have been forwarded to me for a response. We have
not been presented with any plans for review at this time. We have been informed by Town of
Southold Planning personnel that this project is in the preliminary stage.
The Town of Southold is responsible for regulating land usage and approving building permits.
We are forwarding a copy of your letter to the Town for appropriate action to address your
concerns.
Our role in developments, such as affordable housing, along or adjacent to the State Highway
system, is to review the proposed work within the State Highway right-of-way (ROW) and to
review the impact of the site generated traffic on the State Highway system. The developer must
mitigate negative traffic impacts, which may require construction of turning lanes, highway
widening, traffic signal improvements and other related work depending on the size and scope of
the development. Once developers address those impacts to our satisfaction, we issue highway
xvork permit(s) to allow developers to work within the State Highway right-of-way to carry out
the necessary work. We do not have the authority to deny access to a State Highway except
along a controlled or limited access highway or where access on the local side street(s) may
provide a safer alternative.
Hopefully, this clarifies our Department's role in developments, such as this one.
Review of the subject material is being coordinated by Mr. Mark Wolfgang. He can be
contacted at (631) 952-7973 if you have any questions regarding this matter. Please send all
correspondence to his attention.

Dear Mr. Joseph H. Boardman,
I am writing to you to express my great concern about the future safety of my
neighborhood.
I live on Knapp Place, in the house directly adjacent to the proposed affordable housing
projects sole entrance and exit driveway, This is of great concern to myself, my
neighbors, and of the entire Knapp Place and Sterling Place communities. We are an
established community, and as such, our concerns should be taken and considered,
rather than brushed off, as they have been thus far.
Our lives here on Knapp Place will be drastically altered for the worse by the addition of
27 new units, creating a heavy flow of traffic through our quiet neighborhood. We have
many young children that live and play in our community. We also have many people
of a mature age that enjoy the safety of walking through our neighborhood away form
the noise and danger for pedestrians on the busier streets. I am afraid for their safety and
for our quality of life.
All of my above stated concerns simply have to do with the sole entrance and exit of
these projects being on Knapp Place and nothing to do with affordable housing. Houses
in a lower price range are an obvious necessity here on the North Fork. What boggles my
mind is why would anyone, with any sense of community, want to disrupt a peaceful,
established neighborhood when there are two roads running on either side of the
proposed site that already have the capacity to handle the heavy traffic flow.
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Hunter

6.9.2005
Dear Mr. Boardman,
The Community Land Trust recently unveiled a plan to create a high-density housing
project on one of the busiest and most accident-prone intersections in Southold, the
corner of Greenport's Main Street, aka State Road 25, and Rte. 48.
Even worse, this 27-unit housing project is supposed to be serviced through one single
access road, an already overburdened small residential street named Knapp Place. The
increase in traffic and the higher risk of accidents involving children playing on Knapp
Place or Sterling Place would be intolerable.
Dumping such a hazardous project on Greenport's doorstep may be expedient for some.
It is nonetheless irresponsible, a threat to the health and safety of the neighborhood
and our children. ! appeal to the Department of Transportation and to you personally,
Commissioner Boardman, to help my neighbors and me avert this threat.
With best regards,
JUN 2.. 1

SCTM # 1000-34-2-1, aka Tsunis Property, at the S/E/C SR 25
and Main Street, Greenport
The Community Land Trust (CLT) has proposed the construction of 18
town-houses and 9 accessory apartments on the above-noted property.
The project sponsor is a not-for-profit organization seeking to help the
Town meet a documented need for affordable housing for local residents.
The subject property is zoned Residential-Office. It needs to be rezoned
to Affordable Housing District {AHD) in order to accommodate the
proposal.
In my opinion, the rezoning of this property should be undertaken by the
Town Board under its own motion. The reasons supporting this
recommendation are this:
1. The CLT is a local, not-for-profit organization that was created
for the sole purpose of creating and maintaining affordable
housing for local residents in perpetuity.
2. The County of Suffolk has agreed to purchase this property on
behalf of the CLT, utilizing workforce housing funding
dedicated exclusively for the provision of creating affordable
housing.
The CLT faces a long-term challenge of finding sufficient funds
to design, build and maintain the housing.
The housing need is pressing, and the Town's goal of ensuring
socio-economic diversity within its communities requires that
action be taken before eligible families are forced to relocate out
of the community.
Finally, in addition to changing the zone on its own motion, I also
suggest that the Town Board consider granting the Planning Board the
ability to waive the application and park and playground fees, whether in
whole or in part. It would be unfortunate if the CLT had to waste time
fund-raising for the purpose of paying review fees, thereby slowing down
their achieving the goal of meeting of a clear-cut need for decent housing
at an affordable price for local residents in a timely fashion.

Dear Chairperson Woodhouse,
I am writing to you to express my concern regarding the proposal by the Southold Town
Board, to create a higher density for the vacant parcel of land located on the comer of
Route 48 and Main Street, in Crreenport. Under the current zoning, this land could have
two to three homes maximum, built on it, but if the town continues their "deal" with the
Health Department, to create a "sewer credit bank," it will enable the transfer of sewer
credits from open space it purchases to be transferred into this "bank." Those credits
could then be transferred to vacant land, further enabling the town to build many more
homes, possibly 27 units, on this particular piece of property.
The neighborhood that backs the property in question, is Knapp Pl. in Crreenport, and it is
a busy neighborhood already, heavily trafficked with more than just the people who live
in it. People tend to use Knapp Pl. as a thoroughfare between Main St. and getting to
Route 48 as fast as possible and vice versa, (on their way to and from the ferry) instead of
taking Route 48 to the light at the comer with Main St. I live on Knapp Pl. and it is
currently very densely populated, and frequently driven down. Not only have I witnessed
many close calls of other drivers, but I myself had a car accident one house down from
my own.
There is one vacant lot, where the Southold Town Board has proposed the primary access
road to this piece of property to be, and I think it would be a grave mistake to add even
more traffic to such a busy road. I have heard nothing about traffic studies or safety
concerns being explored, and I believe that the addition of 27 or more homes built
directly behind Knapp Pl. with the only access being ON Knapp Pl. would be tragic.
Twenty-seven units translates to 27 cars at a minimum. This could cripple our
neighborhood. I don't object to something being built on that piece of property, but I
highly object to 27 or more homes being built on that property.
I feel that the residents of Knapp Pl. and impacted areas, should have some sort of say in
what happens with that piece of property. The additional noise and congestion would be
very significant and our quality of life as residents here, as well as the value of our
property, would be greatly affected. I am extremely concerned about the future of this
property and I am looking for your support to stop this higher density building of homes
from happening.
