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

Grantor may designate by notice in accordance with this Section 6.04.
Mailed notice to Grantee shall be addressed to its principal office
recited herein, marked to the attention of the Supervisor and the Town
Attorney, or to such other address as Grantee may designate by notice
in accordance with this Section 6.04. Notice shall be deemed given
and received as of the date of its manual delivery or three 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.
Extinquishment/Condemnation
At the mutual request of Grantor and Grantee, a court with
jurisdiction may, if it determines that conditions surrounding the
16
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. The mere
cessation of farming on the Property shall not be construed to be
grounds for extinguishment 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. In such event, the Grantor, its 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 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.

the parties concerning its subject matter shall be merged into this
Easement and superseded by it.
7.02 Amendment
This Easement may be amended only with the written consent of
Grantee and current Grantors and in accordance with all applicable
State and local laws. Any such amendment shall be consistent with
the Town Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder and with
the Purpose of this Easement, and shall be duly recorded.
This Easement is made with the intention that it shall qualify as
a Conservation Easement in perpetuity under Internal Revenue Code
§170(h). The parties agree to amend the provisions of this Easement
if such amendment shall be necessary, to entitle Grantors to meet the
17
requirements of §170(h).' Any such amendment shall apply
retroactively in the same manner as if such amendment or
amendments had been set forth herein.
7.03 Alienation
No property rights acquired by Grantee hereunder shall be
alienated except pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 70 of the Town

adoption of a local law authorizing the alienation of said rights and

subsequent amendment of the provisions of the Town Code shall alter
the limitations placed upon the alienation of those property rights or
interests which were acquired by the Town prior to any such
amendment.
7.04 Severability
Any provision of this Easement restricting Grantor's activities,
which is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court shall not

effective. Any other provision of this Easement that is determined to
be invalid or unenforceable by a court shall be severed from the other
provisions, which shall remain enforceable and effective.

respects, including validity, construction, interpretation, breach,
violation and performance.

this Easement shall be construed against the party whose attorney
drafted it. If any provision of this Easement is ambiguous or shall be
subject to two or more interpretations, one of which would render that

construction or interpretation of this Easement and this Easement shall
be interpreted broadly to affect the purposes of this Easement as
intended by the parties. The parties intend that this Easement, which
is by nature and character primarily negative in that Grantor has
restricted and limited their right to use the Property, except as

This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations
pertaining to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the
Environmental Law.
The Southold Town Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Name of Action: Proposed Open Development Area for P&E, LLC
SCTM#:
SCTMs#1000-120-3-11.11
Location:
5645 Aldrich Lane, Laurel, NY 11901
SEQR Status: Type I ( )
Unlisted (X)
Conditioned Negative Declaration:
Yes ( )
No (X)
Description of Action:
The establishment of an Open Development Area located on 3.78 acres of the
22.17 +/- acre parcel with the Open Development Area consisting of three lots of
approximately 1.26+/- acres per lot and the remaining 18+/- acres to be acquired
by the Town using Community Preservation Funds and subject to a development
rights easement.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed and it
was determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment were likely
to occur should the project be implemented as planned.
The determination was based upon the following:
This project will create an open development area on a 22.1659-acre parcel;
preserving 18.3779 acres of agricultural farm land. The development rights on
the preserved 18.3779 acre parcel, will be sold to the Town of Southold. The
remaining 3.783 acres are being subdivided from the preserved land to allow for
the potential future development pursuant to Article VIII of Southold Town Code
which states "the Town Board may grant the applicant the right to seek future
approval of the creation of lots and the issuance of permits for the erection of
structures to which access is given by right-of-way or easement. Such right shall
be in accordance with the designated zoning district and the density and
minimum lot size for the property in effect at the time of the establishment of the
open development area."
In the event that the open development area is developed in residential lots, the
permissible maximum yield is three. The three lots would be recognized as
clustered lots. The subdivision open space of the clustered lots would equal 1.73
acres and comprise a portion of the preserved area.
The proposed action will not result in:
]. A substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water
quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels, no substantial increase in solid
waste production, potential of erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage
problems will occur as a result of this action.
2. A significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna,
no substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species, no significant impacts on a significant habitat area, no
substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal
or plant or the habitat of such a species, and no other significant adverse
impacts to natural resources will occur.
3. A significant impairment in the character or quality of important historical,
archaeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing
community or neighborhood character.
4. A major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy.
5. The creation of a hazard to human health.
(~. A substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land including
agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to
support existing uses.
Material conflict with the community's current plans or goals as officially
approved or adopted by the Town of Southold in that this proposed action
is reducing density and preserving 80 percent or 18.37 acres of the
buildable lands currently in agricultural production.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are
expected to occur should the project be implemented as planned.

Petition Request for Open Development Area of P & E, LLC
c/o Peter Harbes, Aldrich Dane, Laurel, NY
SCTM# 1000-120-03-11.11
August 11, 2009
As per your request of August 3, 2009, attached please find a copy of the August 10, 2009
Planning Board Resolution granting Sketch Approval on the Sketch Plat prepared by Howard W.
Young, L.S., dated May 27, 2009 and last revised on July 29, 2009, for the proposed
Conservation Subdivision ofP & E, LLC c/o Peter Harbes.
The Planning Board has carefully reviewed the petition submitted by the applicant to the Town
Board requesting the creation of an Open Development Area and finds the petition to be
complete and correct.
The Planning Board would like to note, however, that although Southold Town Code Article
VIII - Open Development Area, §240-28 (C) requires the following to be submitted to the Town
Clerk's Office prior to the creation of an Open Development Area:
"An executed easement (permanently preserving a minimum of 75% of the property from
residential or commercial development) between the property owner and one of the
following entities: the Town of Southold, the County of Suffolk, another governmental
entity, or a private conservation corporation or land trust as approved by the Town
Board",
an executed contract for the Sale of Development Rights on 18.37 acres exists and is on file with
the Town of Southold Land Preservation Department.
The Planning Board recommends that the Town Board consider that their approval to create an
Open Development Area for P & E, LLC, c/o Peter Harbes be conditioned upon the following:
P & E~ LLC/Harbes
PaRe Two
August 11, 2009
The approval of the Open Development Area shall not be valid if the Sale of the
Development Rights to the Town is not completed and a copy of the recorded Deed of
Development Rights is not submitted to the Town of SouthoM Town Board on or before
one year from the date of this approval.
The Planning Board further recommends that the Town Board consider placing Covenants and
Restrictions upon the Open Development Area based upon the Town of Southold's LWRP
recommendations, which are listed below:
To minimize use conflicts, in lieu of 3~ 161-44 - StreetTtrees. and 3~ 240-49 - Clearing
Requirements of the Southold Town Code, consider the establishment of a perpetual
vegetative buffer on each lot between the agricultural use and the residential use
properties.
a. It is recommended that the buffer be comprised of evergreen plants of such type,
height, spacing and arrangement as, in the judgment of the Planning Board, will
effectively screen the activity on the lot from the agricultural area. At a minimum,
the planting shall consist of a double row of trees 6feet in height planted at
intervals of l0 feet on center.
To further Policy 5, "Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of
Southold" and protect and improve the water quality and supply in the area; the
following best management practices are recommended:
a. Require that all landscaped areas use indigenous, drought tolerant vegetation in
landscaping to minimize irrigation and the use of synthetic fertilizers and
herbicides.
b. Require that all driveways be constructed ora pervious material to minimize
storm water impacts.
c. Require the installation of gutters, leader and drywells to minimize storm water
impacts

It is recommended that the buffer be comprised of evergreen plants of
such type, height, spacing and arrangement as, in the iud.qment of the
Plannin.q Board, will effectively screen the activity on the lot from the
agricultural area. As a minimum, the planting shall consist of a double row
of trees 6 feet in heiqht planted at intervals of 10 feet on center.
2. To further Policy 5, "Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of
Southold" and protect and improve the water quality and supply in the area; the
followin,q best management practices are recommended:
a. Require that all landscaped areas use indiRenous, drou,qht tolerant
ve.qetation in landscapin.q to minimize irriRation and the use of synthetic
fertilizers and herbicides.
b. Require that all driveways be constructed of a pervious material to
minimize storm water impacts.
c. Require the installation of qutters, leader and dryweils to minimize storm
water impacts
These requirements could be memorialized in a Covenant and Restriction or a
Resolution at this stage.

Proposed lots 1, 2, 3 which are adjacent to cultivated farmlands should be designed to ensure non-
interference with the agricultural use of the adjoining tracts and to avoid conflicts between the
farmer and occupants and visitors of non-farmland areas.
All prospective owners of land proposed for development adjacent to an active farm, or within 500
feet of farms within a N.Y.S Agricultural District, should be informed by means of an advisory
covenant and a note on the development map, of the location of the active farmland and that
adjacent occupants may be subject to the noise, dust, odors and spraying applications normally
associated with agricultural activities.
An easement should be placed on proposed lot 4 restricting the use to open space or agricultural
use. This should be done to insure that there is no future commercial or residential development on
land designated for conservation.
The proposed greenhouses should be constructed and maintained in a way that insures that storm
water runoff remains on site and does not cause farmland erosion.
The proposed greenhouses' height, color, reflectivity and orientation should be carefully
considered to reduce the visual impacts and protect existing viewsheds.

Re:

Peter Harbes - Conservation Subdivision
5645 Alddch Lane, Laurel, NY
SCTM #: 1000-120-03-11.11
As per a request from your office, I have reviewed the site plan for the above
referenced project. This plan has been prepared by the office of Young & Young and has
been dated 1/11/09. Please consider the following:
This parcel of land is reasonably fiat and has a gradual slope of approximately 1:100.
It is also located in an area ware there is reasonably good drainage.
However, I would like to recommend some type of covenant and restriction that
would require the property owner to control storm-water run-off on site. C&R's can
be as passive as maintaining existing site conditions or establishing limits with
regard to how the site may be graded in the future. C&R's should be conditioned to
prevent drastic site changes that may cause flooding of the adjacent properties.
The three residential lots will be providing drainage plans when building permits are
filed. Therefore, it will not be necessary to address drainage plans for future
residential construction. All other development or proposed construction must
comply with the requirements of Town Code Section 236 for Storm-water
Management.
Curb Cuts and driveway access to Aldrich Lane for all proposed development should
be reviewed and approved by the Highway time of
construction.
If you have any questions regarding'thiS review

Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt

Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its significant
beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of Southold Town).

achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review law.

standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy
standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken.

COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 240 (Subdivision of Land), Article VIII (Open Development Area),
of the Town Code, the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby accepts the petition
of P&E~ LLC to establish open development area as complete~ and hereby sets
Tuesday~ August 25~ 2009~ at 4:32 p.m. Southold Town Hall~ 53095 Main Road~
Southold~ New Yorlq as the time and place for a public hearing for the
establishment of an open development area on property owned by P&E~ LLC, said
property is identified as part of SCTM # 1000-120-3-11.11, with an address at 5655
Aldrich Lane, Laurel. The property is located in the A-C zoning district and is on the
westerly side of Aldrich Lane, approximately 1,200 feet south from the intersection of
Aldrich Lane and Sound Avenue in Laurel, New York. The proposed open development
area is located on 3.78 acres of the 22.17+ acre parcel.
The open development area consists of three lots of approximately 1.26+acres per lot.
The development rights of the remaining 18 +acres are to be acquired by the Town using
Community Preservation Funds and subject to a development rights easement.
FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above-
mentioned petition to establish an open development area is on file in the Town Clerk's
Office, Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, and may be
examined by any interested person during business hours.
I have a notice here that it has appeared, this legal notice has appeared in the local
newspaper and it has also appeared on the Town Clerk's bulletin board outside. I have a
certification from the Planning Board and from the Planning Department. This is a
P & E LLC Open Development Area Public Hearing 2
August 25, 2009
memo to the Town Clerk from the Town Planning Director dated August 11th. 'As per
your request of August 3rd, attached please find a copy of the August l0th Planning Board
resolution granting sketch plan approval for the plat prepared by Howard Young, dated
May 27, 2009 revised on July 29 for the proposed conservation subdivision of P & E
LLC in the care of Peter Harbes. The Planning Board has carefully reviewed the petition
submitted by the applicant requesting the creation of an open development area and finds
the petition to be complete and correct. The Planning Board would like to note however,
that although the Southold Town code article 8 open development area section requires
the following to be submitted to the Town Clerk's office prior to the creation of an open
development area, namely an executed easement between the property owner and one of
the following entities, the town, the county etc. etc., despite that, an executed contract for
the sale of development rights on the 18.37 acres exists and is on file with the Town Land
Preservation Department. The Planning Board recommends that their approval to create
an open development area for this project be conditioned upon the following namely the
approval of the open development area shall not be valid if the sale of development rights
to the Town is not completed and a copy of the recorded deed is not submitted to the
Town on or before one year from the date of this approval. The Planning Board further
recommends that the Board consider placing covenants and restrictions on the open
development area based upon the Town's LWRP recommendations which are listed
below. 1. To minimize use conflicts in lieu of section 161 on street, trees and the
clearing requirements of the Southold Town code, consider the establishment of a
perpetual vegetative buffer on each lot between the agricultural use and the residential
use properties. It is recommended specifically that the buffer be comprised of evergreen
plants of such types, height, spacing and arrangement as in the judgment of the Planning
Board will effectively screen the activity on the lot from the agricultural area. At a
minimum, the plantings shall consist ora double row of trees, six feet in height planted in
intervals of 10 feet on center. 2. To further policy # 5, to protect and improve water
quality and supply in the Town and protect and improve water quality supply in the area,
the following best management practices are recommended. 1. Require that all landscape
areas use indigenous drought tolerant vegetation and landscaping to minimize irrigation
and the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides. 2. Require that all driveways be
constructed of pervious materials to minimize stormwater impacts. 3. To require the
installations of gutters, leaders and drywells to minimize stormwater impacts.' I also
have a letter dated August 11, 2009 addressed to the attorney for Mr. Harbes. This is sent
by the chairman of the Town Planning Board, regarding sketch approval. Dated August
25th, wow, I have got lots of things here, the one I just quoted is sketch approval for the
conservation subdivision; this is a formal approval and the final notice is 'resolved that
the Southold Town Planning Board here?thY grants sketch approval on the sketch plat
prepared by Howard Young dated May 27t and last revised on July 29th.' The Planning
Board also has a negative declaration dated August 25, 2009, wow, this is right up to
date. 'This notice is issued pursuant to part 617 of the implementing regulations
pertaining to article 8 of the environmental law. The Southold Town Board, as lead
agency, has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a
significant effect on the environment and a draft environmental impact statement will not
be prepared. The name of the action is the proposed open development area for P & E
LLC and it lists the tax map number, location etc. and the description. The reason
P & E LLC Open Development Area Public Hearing
August 25, 2009
supporting this determination, an environmental assessment form has been submitted and
reviewed and it was determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment
were likely to occur should the project be implemented as planned.' And it shows the
determinations that it was based upon. And I have a memo from the principal planner,
Mark Terry dated August 24, 2009 which, don't need to worry about that, cover letter and
I believe that is about all I have in this file. It has appeared as a, those are the only
relevant, significant aspects in the file.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town
Board on this?
TAMARA SADOO: Good afternoon, Tamara Sadoo, I am a planner in the Southold
Town Planning Department. Member Wickham just did a good job of summing up
exactly what the creation of this open development area is. I will just repeat briefly that
this is a request to establish an open development area, the property is in Laurel, it is
located in the AC zoning district. The total acreage of the site is 22.17 acres and the open
development area will consist of 3.78 acres. Right now it is proposing to establish three
lots, each approximately 1.26 acres and that will be preserved to allow the applicant to do
that in the future. The remaining 18 some acres will be acquired by the Town using the
Community Preservation fund, subject to development rights easement and will
perpetually keep that amount of property in agricultural use. The Planning Board, as
Member Wickham reviewed, looked at this application, we reviewed it as a conservation
subdivision, we held a public hearing on it earlier this year August l0th, this summer and
granted sketch approval on the application. I think that is essentially it.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I think most people understand by now, quite clearly, the
purchase of development rights but an open development area is a new concept. We have
gone through the legal steps, could you describe to the Board and others what an open
development area really means?
MS. SADOO: Sure. An open development area essentially is, you start out with a
conservation where in this instance, well, a minimum of 75% of the land needs to be
preserved, remain, you know, in perpetuity, preserved for agricultural use. In this case
they are preserving just over 80% of the land. The open development area is a portion
that is taken out of the preserved area and the current zoning in this instance AC zoning,
whatever is allowed now under current zoning will be allowed in the future. Sort of
locking in zoning today so that when you come in, for example if you are not quite sure
what it is you want to do on that remaining acreage or you know, economically if you are
not ready or you are still thinking about it, you don't have to develop right now but down
the road 10, 15, 20 years from now, you can come back and say I have created this open
development area, I have preserved this amount of land, I have sort of locked this few
acres into place and I would like to now come in and develop this area.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town
P & E LLC Open Development Area Public Hearing 4
August 25, 2009
Board? Mr. Cuddy?
CHARLES CUDDY: Good afternoon, I represent P & E LLC. Just very briefly, it says
two things really. It encourages conservation subdivisions and I think what it really does
is it permits future approval of lots based on present zoning. And I think that is the real
purpose of the open development area. And it is going to do this and we thank everybody
for their entertaining it and hopefully, we will receive your approval. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Town
Board on this?
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: There is just one thing, at the, one of the conditions that the
Planning Board put on this, it says installations of gutters, leaders and drywells, I don't
know, I can't remember what the language is in the drainage code but it should probably
say something like to contain roof runoff on the buildings, just to be a little more
descriptive.
MS. SADOO: We can also make a note of that in our own records, that when the
applicant does come back...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Still subject to 236.
MS. SADOO: Correct. It is subject to 236 over all.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Right. Thanks.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay.

This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations

The Southold Town Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Name of Action: Proposed Open Development Area for P&E, LLC

Description of Action:
The establishment of an Open Development Area located on 3.78 acres of the
22.17 +/- acre parcel with the Open Development Area consisting of three lots of
approximately 1.26+/- acres per lot and the remaining 18+/- acres to be acquired
by the Town using Community Preservation Funds and subject to a development
rights easement.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed and it
was determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment were likely
to occur should the project be implemented as planned.
The determination was based upon the following:
This project will create an open development area on a 22.1659-acre parcel;
preserving 18.3779 acres of agricultural farm land. The development rights on
the preserved 18.3779 acre parcel, will be sold to the Town of Southold. The
remaining 3.783 acres are being subdivided from the preserved land to allow for
the potential future development pursuant to Article VIII of Southold Town Code
which states "the Town Board may grant the applicant the right to seek future
approval of the creation of lots and the issuance of permits for the erection of
structures to which access is given by right-of-way or easement. Such right shall
be in accordance with the designated zoning district and the density and
minimum lot size for the property in effect at the time of the establishment of the
open development area."
In the event that the open development area is developed in residential lots, the
permissible maximum yield is three. The three lots would be recognized as
clustered lots. The subdivision open space of the clustered lots would equal 1.73
acres and comprise a portion of the preserved area.
The proposed action will not result in:
I. A substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water
quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels, no substantial increase in solid
waste production, potential of erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage
problems will occur as a result of this action.
2. A significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna,
no substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species, no significant impacts on a significant habitat area, no
substantial adverse impacts on a threatened or endangered species of animal
or plant or the habitat of such a species, and no other significant adverse
impacts to natural resources will occur.
3. A significant impairment in the character or quality of important historical,
archaeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing
community or neighborhood character.
4. A major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy.
5. The creation of a hazard to human health.
6. A substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land including
agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to
support existing uses.
Material conflict with the community's current plans or goals as officially
approved or adopted by the Town of Southold in that this proposed action
is reducing density and preserving 80 percent or 18.37 acres of the

Petition Request for Open Development Area of P & E, LLC
c/o Peter Harbes, Aldrich Lane, Laurel, NY
SCTM# 1000-120-03-11.1 !
August 11, 2009
As per your request of August 3, 2009, attached please find a copy of the August 10, 2009
Planning Board Resolution granting Sketch Approval on the Sketch Plat prepared by Howard W.
Young, L.S., dated May 27, 2009 and last revised on July 29, 2009, for the proposed
Conservation Subdivision ofP & E, LLC c/o Peter Harbes.
The Planning Board has carefully reviewed the petition submitted by the applicant to the Town
Board requesting the creation of an Open Development Area and finds the petition to be
complete and correct.
The Planning Board would like to note, however, that although Southold Town Code Article
VIII - Open Development Area, §240-28 (C) requires the following to be submitted to the Town
Clerk's Office prior to the creation of an Open Development Area:
"An executed easement (permanently preserving a minimum of 75% of the property from
residential or commercial development) between the property owner and one of the
following entities: the Town of Southold, the County of Suffolk, another governmental
entity, or a private conservation corporation or land trust as approved by the Town
Board",
an executed contract for the Sale of Development Rights on 18.37 acres exists and is on file with
the Town of Southold Land Preservation Department.
The Planning Board recommends that the Town Board consider that their approval to create an
Open Development Area for P & E, LLC, c/o Peter Harbes be conditioned upon the following:
P & E, LLC/Harbes Page Two August 11, 2009
The approval of the Open Development Area shall not be valid if the Sale of the
Development Rights to the Town is not completed and a copy of the recorded Deed of
Development Rights is not submitted to the Town of Southold Town Board on or before
one year from the date o. f this approval.
The Planning Board further recommends that the Town Board consider placing Covenants and
Restrictions upon the Open Development Area based upon the Town of Southold's LWRP
recommendations, which are listed below:
To minimize use conflicts, in lieu of 3~ 161-44 - StreetTtrees. and 3~ 240-49 - Clearing
Requirements of the $outhold Town Code, consider the establishment of a perpetual
vegetative buffer on each lot between the agricultural use and the residential use
properties.
B is recommended that the buffer be comprised of evergreenplants of such type,
height, spacing and arrangement as, in the judgment of the Planning Board, will
effectively screen the activity on the lot from the agricultural area. At a minimum,
the planting shall consist of a double row of trees 6feet in height planted at
intervals of l0 feet on center.
To further Policy 5, "Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of
$outhold" and protect and improve the water quality and supply in the area; the
following best management practices are recommended:
a. Require that all landscaped areas use indigenous, drought tolerant vegetation in
landscaping to minimize irrigation and the use of synthetic fertilizers and
herbicides.
b. Require that all driveways be constructed of a pervious material to minimize
slorm water impacts.
c. Require the installation of gutters, leader and drywells to minimize storm water
impacts
Thank you.

products resulting from such causes.
6.03 Enforcement Ri~lhts of Grantee
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Grantee's remedies at law for
any violation of this Easement may be inadequate. Therefore, in addition to,
and not as a 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 (10) days'
written 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

Easement or 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 be accomplished within 10
days.

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.

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. The mere cessation of farming on the Property shall not
be construed to be grounds for extinguishment 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. In such
event, the Grantor, its 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 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.

ARTICLE IX
Bonds and Other Security
§ 240-31. Purpose of performance bond.
A performance bond is posted by the applicant to guarantee to the Town that he/she will
faithfully construct or cause to be constructed the required public improvements which were
an integral part of the approved final plat and, further, that the construction shall be completed
within a reasonable period of time.
§ 240-32. Performance bond.
A. Performance bond estimate. The amount of the undertaking, secured by cash or certified
check or other acceptable surety, will be based upon the Town Engineering Office's
estimate of the total cost of the required capital improvements, including but not limited
to road cleating, trail clearing, landscaping and drainage, plus a reasonable estimate of
anticipated increased construction cost during the period of the life of the bond.
B. The Planning Board shall pass a resolution either approving or modifying the
performance bond estimate as recommended by the Superintendent of Highways.
C. The Town Board shall approve or disapprove the performance bond, subject to the

writing, of the Town Board's action.
D. The Chair of the Planning Board shall not sign a final plat until notification by the Town
Clerk of the Town Board's approval of the performance bond.
E. After construction of the public improvements covered by the performance bond and
prior to the release of the bond, the developer shall prepare a set of the approved
drainage plans and street profiles amended to indicate as-constructed information. The
developer then may apply to the Town Engineering Office and/or Superintendent of

pLANNING
§ 280-a
an amendment to § 280-a, which author-
development areas (§ 280-a(4)), discussed below, a
Judge Hopkins asserted that "the legislative intent
this amendment was that in the absence of an open
area no power to grant a variance for a right of way
in a zoning board of appeals." 49 A.D.2d at 573, 371
25 (Hopkins, J., dissenting). Based on these decisions
d other decisions granting variances from local zoning regula-
permitting various methods of access, the Attorney General
s opined that [ ] number of courts have construed this provi-
liberally." 82 Op. Att'y Gen. 281 (1982). See also Conley v.
40 N.Y.2d 309, 386
681, 353 N.E.2d 594 (1976); Spano v. Baldwin, 214
(Sup. Ct. Nassau Co. 1961). If a zoning board of
grants a variance from the requirements of Town Law
280-a, the building inspector must issue building permits and
not deny the same because of purported non-compliance of
~ road with town specifications. See Charter Land Development
2orp. v. Hartmann, 170 A.D.2d 600, 566 N.Y.S.2d 375 (2d Dept.
1991), lv. denied, 78 N.Y.2d 857, 574 N.Y.S.2d 938, 580 N.E.2d
410(1991).
On the other hand, if a road is clearly inadequate to ensure safe
access to a structure, the denial of a variance will be sustained.
For example, in Lund v. Town Board of the Town of Philipstown,
162 A.D.2d 798, 557 N.Y.S.2d 712 (3d Dept. 1990), the denial of a
variance for a private road which did not comply with the town's
regulations for access roads was sustained. The proposed private
road was only partially paved, possessed sharp curves, steep
grades and insufficient drainage facilities and was too narrow.
The court applied the area variance criteria of Friendly Ice Cream
Corp. v. Barrett, 106 A.D.2d 748, 483 Ni.Y.S.2d 782 (3d Dept.
1984), analysis which is similar to the subsequently adopted
statutory considerations for area variances, and concluded that
the deficiencies were substantial, that granting relief would exac-
erbate the provision of emergency services and existing drainage
problems and that the applicant had failed to demonstrate the
lack of feasible alternatives, such as the posting of a bond. The
municipality, on the other hand, possessed a legitimate interest in
ensuring safe and adequate access. See also Joseph v. Romano,
208 A.D.2d 926, 617 N.Y.S.2d 868 (2d Dept. 1994). In Brock
Properties v. Bockman, 166 A.D.2d 525, 560 N.Y.S.2d 807 (2d
Dept. 1990), the denial of a variance to permit a 16-foot wide
access for three homes was sustained because of evidence sub-
stantiating the existence of difficulties in fighting a fire at such
location.
As an alternative to the access requirements of Town Law
§ 280-a(1) and (2), a town board may, by resolution, establish
163
§ 280-a ZONING AND
one or more open development areas pursuant to § 280-a(4)
wherein permits may be issued for structures to which access is
provided by a right-of-way or easement. Prior to establishing an
open development area, a town board is required to refer the
question to the planning board for its recommendation. Town
Law § 280-a(4) provides that an open development area estab-
lished by a town board is subject to "such limitations as may be
prescribed by general or special rule of the planning board..."
Once it has created an open development area, the imposition of
restrictions, [imitations or conditions is solely within the jurisdic-
tion of the planning board and a town board may not further
limit or condition its establishment of an open development area.
See Worthington v. Planning Board of the Town of Carmel, 131
A.D.2d 466. 515 N.Y.S.2d 880 (2d Dept. 1987). In Worthington,
for example, after the submission of an application for a five-lot
subdivision of a 54-acre parcel the town board established an
open development area for the property and the planning board
thereafter unconditionally approved the five-lot subdivision.
Thereafter, the town board issued a "clarification" of its earlier
resolution and prohibited further subdivision of the open develop-
ment area. Based upon the "clarification," the planning board
denied an application to subdivide one of the parcels. The plan-
ning board's denial was unauthorized because the town board's
"clarification" "was a usurpation of the authority of the planning
board to impose conditions and limitations upon the open devel-
opment area, as well as the authority of the planning board to
approve or disapprove subdivision plats." Id. at 468, 515
N.Y.S.2d at 881.
The fact that property possesses frontage on an improved street
does not preclude approval of an open development area for the
property and use of other means of access by right of way or
easement. See Wiederspiel v. Leifeld, 197 A.D.2d 781, 602
N.Y.S.2d 712 (3d Dept. 1993).
Town Law section 280~a does not prefer one type of access
over another, but simply defines the minimum acceptable
access to a piece of property in order to obtain a building
permit. Put another way, its provisions do not require a
particular form of access, but rather are applied to the access
as given to' determine if it is sufficient to permit the erection
of a building. * * * the subject of whether the access for the
subdivision lots as proposed,by the subdivider is sufficient for
subdivision purposes is a distinct inquiry and involves a
determination to be considered by the municipal planning
~ board in deciding whether to approve the proposed subdivi-
sion.
