SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated May 14, 2010 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP: This application is not subject to review under Chapter 268 because the variance relief requested does not involve features that relate to a regulated natural feature or a bulkhead or other shoreline. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject property is located on the North side of Main Road on the west corner of Sterling Lane as shown on partial site plan dated October 20, 2000 prepared by Cronin and Condon, consulting engineers. It is located in a B Zone and the proposed nursery school is a permitted use. It is an improved parcel consisting of two commercial buildings and associated parking. It received site plan approval October 31, 1988. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Special Exception per Code Section 280-13B(4), the applicant is requesting permission to convert existing office space to operate a nursery school. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: According to the code, site plan approval is also required by the Planning Board. In a memorandum dated July 7, 2010, the Planning Board made the following comments; the change of use would not require an amendment to the original site plan, however the following should be part of the special exception: 1. the parking stalls be repainted, 2. provide code compliant ADA handicap parking space with appropriate signage and designation, Page 2—Auugust 18,2010 ZBA File#6397—Maritime Day School,LLC CTM: 1000-102,1-24.1 3. directional arrows to direct ingress/egress as follows; a. Access furthest east to be ingress, b. Access furthest west to be egress. FINDINGS OF FACT The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on July 29,2010, at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all of the testimony documentation, personal inspection of the property, and other evidence, and upon review of the code requirements set forth pursuant to Article XXV Section 280-142 Special Exception Uses,the Board finds and determines the following: REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of the testimony presented, materials submitted,and personal inspections, the board makes the following findings: A. The use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use districts. The proposed nursery will occupy a vacant real estate office. No new construction is being proposed. The school will enroll a maximum of thirty one children aged two, three and four years old and will only operate Monday through Friday for half a day,thereby providing a needed service to the community. B. The use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use permitted or legally established uses in the district wherein the proposed use is to be located or of permitted or legally established uses in adjacent use districts. The proposed nursery school is a permitted use in the B District where this property is situated, also in the adjacent AC/R-40 and B districts. C. The safety, health, welfare comfort, and convenience or the order of the town will not be adversely affected by the proposed use and its location. Educational uses are inherently beneficial, and the proposed nursery school will promote rather than detract from the welfare of the community. D. The use will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes and intent of the chapter. ( See B and C above) E. The use will be compatible with its surroundings and with the character of the neighborhood and the community in general,particularly with regard to visibility, scale and overall appearance. The proposed use will occupy an existing but currently vacant structure. The size and operation of the school is modest as described in"A"above. The children's outdoor play spaces are completely private and secured by new stockade fencing F. All proposed structures, equipment and material shall be readily accessible for fire and police protection. The owner/applicants are aware of the importance of safety for children and staff as described in the"Project Narrative and Description of Use"submitted with their application, and propose to have a staff member located in the student drop off area to encourage the orderly and safe arrival and departure of the children.

Realty SCTM#1000-102-2-24.1 ZBA# 6397 The Planning Board received your request for comments regarding the above application for a Special Exception to open a nursery school at this site. It should be noted that the Planning Board has previously reviewed and approved a site plan application for this site (attached). Based on a determination by the Building Inspector, the change of use to a nursery school would not require an amendment to the original site plan however the following information is provided for your review and consideration as part of the special exception: 1. Based on a preliminary review of the plans submitted with this request and site inspection of the premises, it appears the number of parking spaces for the uses and parking lot circulation on site is adequate. However, it is recommended for the parking stalls to be repainted. 2. It is further recommended for the applicant to provide a code-compliant ADA handicapped parking space with appropriate signage and designation. 3. On site drainage, and overall landscaping have been previously reviewed and approved as part of the original site plan. 4. Due to multiple curb cut access points within the vicinity, directional arrows are recommended to direct ingress/egress to the site as follows: a. Access furthest east is recommended to be ingress. b. Access furthest west is recommended to be egress. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Planning Department. cc: Heather Lanza, Planning Director Mike Verity, Chief Building Inspector Kristy Winser, Sr. Planner DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING COUNTY OF SUFFOLK STEVE LEVY SUFFOLK COUNTY EXECUTIVE RECF~VED MAY 0 Z010 BOARD OF APPEALS THOMAS A.

Overview of Use Maritime Day School, LLC is a private preschool that has been operating since September 2008 (at 320 Depot Lane, Cutchogue). This preschool offers a theme-based comprehensive half-day program for children ages two, three, and four. The school provides families of the North Fork community with a preschool option that includes developmentally, age' appropriate exposure to literacy, social studies/world cultures, math, science, character development, movement and art enrichments, while preparing each child for the demands at the elementary level. Children participate in lessons through play, socialization and informal teacher-directed lessons. The Maritime Day School, LLC offers families a new option in preschool education. Not only does this school provide its students with a solid foundation that acts as a stepping stone in their elementary years, but it also is linked with the community, by offering programs which encourage investment and unity for all ages. The program is not based on the commercialization or franchising of early childhood education, but on shared concerns and values found unique to our community and state. Maritime Day School, LLC is registered with the New York State Education Department. The following is a description of the scope of the program, although the expectations are naturally subject to the actual needs of the community. ~ECE~iVED II. Description of Use of* Site This preschool will occupy the entire building located at 31095 Main~OaR~ OFAPpE,~L$ Road, Cutchogue, ~ (formerly, a Centmw 21 Office). A sketch of the floor plan for its usage of space is attached for the Board's reference. A. First Floor · Reception area, which will include a parent information center and greeting area, children's coat and personal belongings cubbies, and the reception office. · A large room that will house the four year old classroom, the three year old class, and science area · Two year old classroom · Literacy/World Cultures room · Art room · Two lavatories that are both handicapped accessible · Kitchen (food preparation only) · Snack room B. Second Floor · Yoga/music/movement room C. Outdoor Access · Two fenced in play areas · Flower and vegetable gardens D. Storage · Within the building, there are several large closets available for storage. Extra storage is also available in the basement which can only be accessed through the "Bilco" doors on the west side of the building. E. Exits · The building has a total of three exits. There is one exit that is located in front of the building, facing the parking lot. The remaining two exits face the back of the building. One of these 2 R£CE~VED BOARD OF APPEALS exits is on the back NE side of the building and provides access to one of the fenced'in play areas. The other exit is also in the back of the building, and provides access to the second play area and gardens. These exits can also be used as emergency exits. III. Parking A parking area with a total of 14 spaces for staff and parents will be available directly outside of the building. The entire parking area is reserved for Maritime Day School, LLC only. To ensure the utmost safe conditions for drop-off and pick'ups, the following procedures will be in effect all school year and for any extra- curricular programs provided by Maritime Day School, LLC. · A flexible arrival and dismissal schedule will be in place to avoid a congested parking area. Children may arrive at the building as early as 8:45am even though the students' day does not officially begin until 9:15am. · A drop-off/pick-up area will be provided for Maritime Day School families if parents choose to escort their child into or out of the school. · A staff member will be located outside in the parking area during all arrival times to assist children out of their vehicle and safely into the building. Communication between the outside staff member and another designated staff member inside of the building will take place with the use of walkie-talkies. Based on the school's experience at its current location (320 Depot Road), the parking area is expected to be more than sufficient to accommodate the school's needs. IV.

The application only involves a change of use of existing space; no new construction is proposed. The building that would house the nursery school is a vacant real estate office. The Maritime Day School currently exists and has been operating at 320 Depot Lane, Cutchogue, since September, 2008, pursuant to ZBA special permit dated July 21, 2008 (copy attached). The application seeks a new special permit to allow the school to relocate to a new property, which will more ably serve the school's needs, and allow its modest expansion from approximately 26 students per day to 31 students per day. The new site, unlike the existing site, will also allow the school to operate in its own space, without the need to share facilities (i.e. a parking lot) with other operations. Although the ZBA has recently granted Maritime Day School a special permit at the 320 Depot Lane property, this application is necessary because special permits are "property specific" and cannot be simply "transferred" without a new special permit being issued. The preschool does not require any license from the State because it is not going to operate more than three hours per day. Under the N.Y. Social Services Law, preschools that operate three hours or less are exempt from the licensing requirement otherwise applicable to child care facilities. See Social Services Law § 390. The State Education Department did approve the formation of the Maritime Day School, LLC (as an entity), and there is a separate procedure available through the State Education Department for the voluntary registration of nursery schools. The Maritime Day School has not applied for such voluntary registration, though it may do so at some time in the future. The proposed site is located in the "B" general business zoning district, where nursery schools are permitted as a special exception use. See § 280-48(B)(1), incorporating the uses set forth at section 280-13B(4), which includes "nursery school." The code defines a nursery school as follows: NURSERY SCHOOL -- A building or buildings, together with any accessory uses, buildings or structures, used as an organized instructional facility for five or more enrolled children under six years of age other than the ~ECE~VED children of the resident family and not furnishing sleeping facilities except to the resident family. ~OARD O,F APPEALS As described in more detail in the annexed "Project Narrative and Description o~ Use," the proposed use qualifies under the code definition of "nursery school." Unlike many other special exception uses, the code does not contain any specific conditions or permit criteria that apply to nursery school uses. A body of State law does, however, create certain presumptions to which all educational uses are entitled. Additionally, to the extent that the "general standards" for special permits in section 280-142 and the "Matters to be Considered" in section 280'143 are applicable to this application, the following will list each of the subdivisions of those sections followed by the reasons why this application meets those criteria. I. State Law Presumptions Favoring Educational Uses As explained in the annexed "Project Narrative and Description of Use," the mission of the Maritime Day School, tLC is the education of children between the ages of 2 and 5. The school is not "child care" facility as defined in the zoning code. Educational uses, by their "very nature," have been found by the New York Court of Appeals, to be "in furtherance of the public morals and general welfare." Ne~v York l~st. o£Tecl~., I~¢. v. Boutillier, 33 N.Y.2d 125, 131,350 N.Y.S.2d 623, 629 (1973); Ne~g Yor]~ lrst. o£Teet~rology g. Ruclcgaber, 65 Misc.2d 241,317 N.Y.S.2d 89 (Sup. Ct. 1970). Educational institutions are presumed to be "inherently beneficial' to the public, and therefore the total exclusion of such institutions "serves no end that is reasonably related to the morals, health, welfare and safety of the community. Since a municipality's power to regulate land use is derived solely from its right to use its police power to promote these goals, such total exclusion is beyond the scope of the localities' zoning authority." Cornell Univ. ~. Bagnardi, 68 N.Y.2d 583, 594, 510 N.Y.S.2d 861, 866 (1986)(citations omitted) If a proposed educational use would "actually detract from the public's health, safety, welfare or morals... [then] the institution may properly be denied." Cornell, 68 N.Y.2d at 595, 510 N.Y.S.2d at 867. However, the beneficial effect of such uses is "presumed" and must be "rebutted with evidence of a significant impact on traffic, congestion, property values, municipal services and the like." Id.; see also Trustees of Union College v. Members of Schenectady City Council, 91 N.Y.2d 161, 667 N.Y.S.2d 978 (1997)(wholly excluding educational uses from a particular district improper; applicant is entitled to opportunity to have its "presumptively beneficial educational use weighted against competing interests"); Town o£Islip v. Doveling College, 275 A.D.2d 366, 367, 712 N.Y.S.2d 160, 161 (2d Dep't 2000)(educational uses enjoy special treatment with respect to residential zoning ordinances because they "presumptively serve the public's welfares and morals"). II. General Special Exception Standards: §280-142 RECEWED A. That the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use districts. 3oAreD OF APpI:A£~ The use, which is described in more detail in the annexed "Project Narrative and Description of Use," is of such a scope that it cannot reasonably be expected to prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties. No new construction is proposed, and the use of the existing but vacant office will have a positive effect on the economic stability of the neighborhood. It should be noted that the Town Board has legislatively determined that "nursery schools" are permitted as special exception uses not only in the B district where this property is situate, but in all of the Town's residential districts, including the AC and R-40 districts, which are adjacent to the east and north of this property. B. That the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of permitted or legally established uses in the district wherein the proposed use is to be located or of permitted or legally established uses in adjacent use districts. See response to subdivision "A." C. That the safety, the health, the welfare, the comfort, the convenience or the order of the town will not be adversely affected by the proposed use and its location. Far from having adverse effects, the purpose of this application is to allow the continued operation of a nursery school, whose purpose is to fulfill a community need for preschool options. As explained above, educational uses are inherently beneficial and entitled to a presumption that they will promote, rather than detract from, the general welfare of the community. D. That the use will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes and intent of this chapter. See response to subdivision "C.' E. That the use will be compatible with its surroundings and with the character of the R~C~I~/EI) neighborhood and of the community in general, particularly with regard to visibility, scale and overall appearance. ~oA~o OFAPP£AL$ In addition to the general presumptions of compatibility to which this use is entitled (see above), the use will be compatible with the character of the community in terms of visibility, scale, and overall appearance. The use is for an existing but currently vacant structure. The scale of the school, as described in the annexed narrative, is minimal, as it will consist of only three classes, with a total of up to 31 children. The only "visible" portion of the use will consist ora small outdoor play area and a vegetable/flower garden area, both of which will be fenced to secure the safety of the children. (See floor plan sketch). F. That all proposed structures, equipment and material shall be readily accessible for fire and police protection. No new structures are proposed. The applicants will work with the building department to ensure that all appropriate safety measures will be taken. The property is benefited by a Certificate of Occupancy issued in connection with a relatively recent renovation of the real estate office (2001). III. "Matters to be Considered": § 280-143 A. The character of the existing and probable development of uses in the district and the peculiar suitability of such district for the location of any of such permitted uses. As discussed above, educational uses are entitled to a presumption that they are consistent with the character of the community, and the Town Board has legislatively determined that nursery schools are permitted as special exception uses not only in the subject RO district, but in all of the adjacent districts (AC and R-40). B. The conservation of property values and the encouragement of the most appropriate uses of land. Again, the nursery school is entitled to a presumption that its use is appropriate, and that presumption can only be "rebutted with evidence of a 4 significant impact on traffic, congestion, property values, municipal services and the like." Cornel], 68 N.Y.2d at 595, 510 N.Y.S.2d at 867. ~J~CEIV£D C. The effect that the location of the proposed use and the location that entrances and exits may have upon the creation or undue increase of vehicular traffic congestion on public streets, highways or sidewalks to assure the public safety. ~OARD OF APPEALS The school will utilize the sole existing entrances and exits to the property from the Main Road. The parking within the site is described further in the annexed narrative. In light of the small size of the school (up to 31 students per day) and limited operational hours, the use will not have any noticeable impacts on traffic. D. The availability of adequate and proper public or private water supply and facilities for the treatment, removal or discharge of sewage, refuse or other effluent (whether liquid, solid, gaseous or otherwise) that may be caused or created by or as a result of the use. The nursery school use is replacing an existing office use. Based on the SCDHS tables for sanitary flow, the proposed use is believed to have smaller flow requirements than the office it is replacing and thus requires no SCDHS permit for the change of use. See SCDHS Standards for Sewage Disposal Systems and SCDHS Policy 10 ("Change of Use"). E. Whether the use or the materials incidental thereto or produced thereby may give off obnoxious gases, odors, smoke or soot. The school use will not produce any obnoxious gases, odors, smoke, or soot. F. Whether the use will cause disturbing emissions of electrical discharges, dust, light, vibration or noise. The nursery school use will not cause any disturbing emissions of electrical discharges, dust, light, vibration or noise. G. Whether the operation in pursuance of the use will cause undue interference with the orderly enjoyment by the public of parking or of recreational facilities, if existing or if proposed by the town or by other competent governmental agencies. RECEIVED BOARD OF APPEALS The use will utilize only on-site parking. H. The necessity for bituminous-surfaced space for purposes of off-street parking of vehicles incidental to the use and whether such space is reasonably adequate and appropriate and can be furnished by the owner of the plot sought to be used within or adjacent to the plot wherein the use shah be located. The existing parking area is more than adequate for the proposed use. Additional details about the on-site parking are being provided. I. Whether a hazard to life, limb or property because of fire, flood, erosion or panic may be created by reason of or as a result of the use or by the structures to be used therefor or by the inaccessibility of the property or structures thereon for the convenient entry and operation of fire and other emergency apparatus or by the undue concentration or assemblage of persons upon such plot. The site is well suited for the small nursery school (31 students). The school will have 3 exits. J. Whether the use or the structures to be used therefor will cause an overcrowding of land or undue concentration of population. No such effect can be anticipated under these circumstances. 6 K. Whether the plot area is sufficient, RECEIVED appropriate and adequate for the use and the reasonably anticipated operation and expansion thereof. ~OARD OF APPEALS The site is well-suited for the proposed usel In fact, other than minor interior renovations, the existing building requires no significant structural modifications to accommodate the use. L. Whether the use to be operated is unreasonably near to a church, school, theater, recreational area or other place of public assembly. The proposed use is a school and thus is consistent with all such uses. M. Whether the site of the proposed use is particularly suitable for such use. As discussed above, Applicant believes that the site is particularly suitable for the use. N. Whether adequate buffer yards and screening can and will be provided to protect adjacent properties and land uses from possible detrimental impacts of the proposed use. Given the pre-existing conditions of the site, the Applicants believe that no detrimental impacts will be created by the proposed change of use. O. Whether adequate provision can and will be made for the collection and disposal of stormwater runoff, sewage, refuse and other liquid, solid or gaseous waste which the proposed use will generate. The use will not create any extraordinary waste that cannot be easily accommodated. 7 P. Whether the natural characteristics of the site are such that the proposed use may be introduced there without undue disturbance or disruption of important natural features, systems or processes and without risk of pollution to groundwater and surface waters on and off the site. ~ECE~vED ~o~o OF APPEAL~ ' As discussed above, the site, with its existing, vacant structures, is already well-suited for the proposed use.

The proposed nurscry school will occupy a vacant office space on two floors of an existing health club/office building. No new construction is being proposed. The school will enroll twenty'six 2, 3 and 4 year old children and will only operate its program for half a day, thereby providing a needed community service. B The use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of permitted or legally estabhshed uses in the district wherein the proposed use is to be located or of permitted or legally estabhshed uses in adjacent use districts. The proposed nursery school is a permitted use in the t~O district where this property is situate and also in the adjacent R'80, R-40 and HB districts. C. The safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience or the order of the town will not be adversely affected by the proposed usc and its location. Educational uses are inherently beneficial, and the proposed nursery school will promote rather than detract from the welfare of the commumty D. The use will be in harmony with and promote the genera] purposes and intent of this chapter. See "B" and "C' above E. The use will be compatible with its surroundings and with the character of the neighborhood and of the community in genera], particularly with regard to visibility, scale, and overall appearance. The proposed use will occupy existing but currently vacant structures. The size and operation of the school is modest as described in "A" above and the only visible portion of the use will be a small outdoor play area and garden. F. All proposed structures, equipment and material shall be readily accessible for frre and police protection. The owners/applicants are aware of the importance of safety for children and staff as described in the Project Narrative submitted with thei~ application and they are working with the Building Department to ensure compliance with all life safety codes. The applicants propose to have a staff person available outdoors in the parl~ing lot, which is improved with paving, drainage, designated parking spaces and safe ingress and egress, to ensure the safety of all children who are being dropped off or picked up from the nursery school.
