PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 p.m. - Fischer, Daniel & Nancy - This is a proposed 2-lot standard subdivision of
a 1.6682-acre parcel where Lot 1 would total 36,333 sq. ft. and Lot 2 would total 36,332
sq. ft. in the R-40 Zoning District. ZBA approvals (area and setback) have been granted
for this property. The property is located at 38785 NYS Route 25, Odent. SCTM#1000-
15-8-1.1
Martin Sidor: Anyone who wishes to address to the Planning Board on this application,
please step forward to either microphone, state your name and address and print them
on the paper provided for the record.
Charles Cuddy, 445 Gfiffin.q Avenue, Riverhead, NY: I represent the applicant. As
indicated, the Zoning Board of Appeals approved this. It is now before your Board.
This is on for conditional preliminary approval, and we believe that both lots are
appropriate. They are the same size lots as the lots in the area around them. The
access, as the Board knows, is on two separate roads, so I would ask that the Board
give this preliminary approval. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Is there anyone else from the audience who wishes to
address this application? Hearing none ....
William Cremers: I make a motion to close the headng.
Joseph Townsend: Second.
Martin Sidor: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor?.
Ayes.
Martin Sidor: Motion carries.
6:05 p.m. - JEMCO Winery - This site plan is for construction of an 8,419 sq. ft.
building with associated parking for the purpose of a retail winery on 60.33 acres

proiects; my clients are also here toni.qht, if there are any questions for them.
Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa.qe Three September 1,3, 2010
This is an application for site plan approval for a small winery that has been developed
on a pamel that is 60.33 acres. There are currently 20+ acres that are planted in
vineyard. This is currently zoned R-80, which is 2-acre residential. We have tried to
locate the winery back into the property so that we are approximately 1,680' from Route
25, current required (inaudible). We could be upwards of 100' from the read. We have
side yard setback from Sound Road property--that would be the west property line--
that's 788'. On the east property line they'll be set back 471'. We are approximately
700' from (inaudible) on Long Island Sound. The building is on 3 floors; we have a full
basement which will be used for production of wine and teak storage. That square
footage on the ground level in the basement is 3400 sq. ft., so it's a relatively small
structure. The overall dimensions are approximately 38' x 88'. We have the main floor,
which is primarily for tasting and some retail space. That's another 3,400 sq. ft.; that
would be the general footprint on the first floor. There are two mezzanines on the
second level. That total would be 8,419'. Let me make sure that it's understood that
this is multiple floors, the square footage, and that square footage is used for
(inaudible) parking calculations. The site has a long driveway coming back off Route 25
and there is parking for 42 care. So it's a relatively small parking area and that's based
on one car per 200 sq. ft. There is some overflow additional parking and we have a
gravel area for an additional 36 care, an additional lawn area for any potential overflow.
The building is designed as a barn structure; it's relatively straightforward. We've just
been now studying some change in materials that we are going in with wood shingles
and a little different (inaudible) pattern (inaudible) architectural review and they were
very happy with it. (inaudible) If you have any questions, I'm here to answer them.
Martin Sidor: Thank you.
Paul Loeb: rm bom and raised across the street from this proposed site. This is my
time to speak and I'm not in favor of it. rm wondering where the people from Sound
Drive and Peconic Landing are because it's certainly going to impact them a good deal.
They surround the area; I don't know if they are supposed to be publicly notified or it's
just the people directly across from the vineyard?
Joseph Townsend: Contiguous property owners were notified.
Paul Loeb: So I'm opposed based on a couple of things: #1 they are changing the
character of the area. There is going to be increased noise, increased traffic, and that's
an awfully large building. If I heard correctly, there is parking for 78 care. That is a lot
of care to pull around to that intersection. The intersection is now going to exit right at
somebody's residence. It's on a busy read; we are prepared--we live on a busy read--
but to drop 78 care in front of our house at night as they leave the winery from whatever
events are going on and music--it's not fair. If they are fomed to go ahead with this, my
recommendation would be that they move the entrance west to align with Bailey
Avenue. Though the people there are not going to be too happy to have 78 care come
at them at 9:00 at night when the kids are sleeping and everything is settled down for
the day. In addition, when they drop onto the North Road, some of them are going to
be turning into Main Street in Greenport. The intersection there is an accident waiting
Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa.qe Four September 13, 2010
to happen; there's not enough turnoff space. If you have more than two or three care
coming from the East turning into the Village, they stack up and they block the North
Road. You are creating a traffic jam as they exit. It's dangerous there. You are going
to have more foot traffic going as well. There is no sidewalk in any of those drawings.
You already have, when Peconic Landing went up, they overlooked the sidewalk. It
stops around Bailey Avenue and doesn't pick up again until Peconic Landing. So you
have people walking in the street, walking across people's yards--there's no path for
them. Then you have all the workers from Peconic Landing. So that changed the foot
traffic in front of the house. So that would need to be addressed as well because now
you're going to have not just Peconic Landing, but you have people walking to the
vineyard. You're going to have foot traffic. It's definitely going to change the area. I
understand the guy wants to make the most amount of money he can with his project.
But it's just not a good idea. You've really got to work out the traffic issues, the people
issues; the noise is going to be unbearable. Our homes aren't going to be our homes
anymore once the winedes get going with weddings and events. There's noise coming
from Peconic Landing now that they have permits to do weddings. It runs until 11:00 on
a Saturday night. That's late. Thank you for hearing me.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Anyone else in the audience?
Susan (and Nestor) Lanfra¥, pmperb/owners at 1000 North Road, Greenport: (directly
across from the proposed site of construction): Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
We live next to Mr. Loeb and we concur with all of the objections that he has raised.
What I'd like to bring to your attention is that the Village of Greenport and the Town of
Southold have been working very hard to keep a level of rural character and not allow
large retail operations to move in on that Route 25 intersection. I know about 14 years
ago, before we began living on our property, 12 years ago, when a retail stdp mall was
denied at the comer of Main Road and Route 25 for the very reasons that Mr. Loeb is
bdnging up today: the traffic issues, the bdnging in of retail that would change the
character of what we are really trying to preserve. I, too, have a big question on the
impact of the traffic in the neighborhood for all the reasons that were stated by Mr.
Loeb. I think that we sit in our living mom and on our front lawn and we watch the traffic
patterns of ferry traffic and other traffic coming and going. There are times when three
care try to make a left onto Main Road right past this property. It backs up the read and
we have about a 50-car lineup standing still on the North Road waiting to get around the
traffic that wants to turn left. You already have a problem. The Portly Grape, which
used to be the Shady Lady, has been very aggressive in its marketing and it's attracting
(thank goodness) a really good crowd. What that means is when they have a good
crowd, they are parking up and down Main Road (Route 25) on the shoulder of the
mad, completely blocking the mute for pedestrians. There is no sidewalk. So when
they are having an event, and it's a good event, all of that mad is now parked along--
there is no shoulder anymore for any disabled care, there's no way for walkers to walk
without going out into traffic. So I think those are areas that really need some attention
by the Town of Southold and perhaps by NYS Traffic to kind of unwind and work out
what this is going to need. It's not insignificant that 78 care with ovedlow for 12§ are
being planned for parking. That's just people who park. They come and go on the
hour--they don't stay a long time. So you're thinking: "Oh, 78 cars, but 78 times
Southold Town Plannin,q Board Pa,qe Five September 13, 2010
however many hours that this place is in operation. So it's going to be constant flow in
and out. I don't want to try your patience any longer with all of the negatives, but I
would say again, please take a look at this. We're trying to keep that balance. As you
go along Route 48 and Route 25, notice that the turn-ins for every single winery-
including out to Sound Avenue--ars modest; they ars small in scale. They are not very
large operations and they don't really look intrusive. Thers ars no big signs like some
of the winedes down on this Route 25 ars now. I would say try to keep it in character.
We're not saying don't put something thers; just look at it, make it in scale, keep it
where it's balancing with the needs of the neighborhood and with the owner and with
future people who want to come and settle in our area. Thank you very much.
Martin Sidor: Thank you.
Deborah Hooper-Gdasda, 850 Bailey Avenue, cor. Route 25, Greenport: Sorry I don't
have a baby sitter; I just came from work. I echo Susan's words and Mr. Loeb's words.
The traffic is really unbearable on our mad. Where predominantly the ferry traffic
coming from Orient--it's horrible in the summer--you can't even pull out of Bailey
Avenue and make a left turn to get into town or to get down to Route 25. The hardship
of adding additional traffic to that rsad is going to cause some great accidents. That
intersection where the blinking light is that goes down into Greenport has had many
accidents~no fatalities that I know of, but it's really an accident waiting to happen. I
want to keep Greenport and Southold rural. I moved here because of its rural
attributes. It's a town like I grew up in. I don't want it to get any bigger and it's not a
question of being against progress. It's just we have to put things into perspective and
keep the arsa rural. People like coming hers and visiting but honestly I'm very happy
when they go home at the end of the summer. So I hope you consider what we ars
saying--that it's going to be a real hardship for our neighborhood to endure the
additional traffic in the arsa.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Anyone else in the audience?
Robert J. Syron, President & CEO of Peconic Landin.q: At this time, Peconic Landing is
not for or against this project, but we do have some concerns. Obviously, where our
(inaudible) ars located--the vineyard is going to be built about 500' from nine of our
residential units. We ars looking for appropriate sound screening as well as visual
screening for the property.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Mr. Cuddy?
Charles Cuddy, Esq.: I represent Peconic Landing and rd just like to supplement Mr.
Syron's remarks. When I look at this site plan, it is not 78 parking spaces, it is 138.
There's 42, 36 and 60 overflow. That's a lot of parking and that means a lot of people.
Our concern, as Mr. Syron pointed out, is that there can be special events, which
winedes seem to do, and while we ars not against special events, we would hope that
thers might be some covenant that if the special events make enough noise to upset
the neighborhood, that the neighbors as well as the Town can enforce their dghts. And
I would hope their rights would include either forfeiting or denying special permits for
Southold Town Plannin,q Board Pa.qe Six September 13, 2010
special events if in fact the neighbors are constantly harassed by late night music and
late night noise. It bears on Peconic Landing a great deal; there are people who are
elderly there, who came there because of the setting and they are going to be 500'
away from whatever events they have. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Yes?
Laurie Hollender, Sound Road, Greenport: I just want to concur with everything that
has been said so far. As far as the traffic goes, that's not what I have come to speak
on, but it took me about ten minutes to come out into the street and then right in front of
the Portly Grape somebody had their car parked; they're parking all along the mad
there. Even if you can see the cars coming from the East, you can't get out far enough
with all these cars parked on the side of the road. I almost had to turn around and
possibly go into town and come back another way--it's very, very dangerous. With the
increased traffic that this is going to bring, I don't know what it's going to mean. But
now, also, on another note that's really horrible for us, is the possible sound that we're
going to have to hear--the possible noise invasion into our property. We already have
been inundated with the Portly Grape until really late hours at night with loud blasting
music. Now we are concemed that this is going to be--and it might not bc but we are
very, very concemed that this is going to be another noise problem stemming from this.
We are just hoping that if the project does happen, the people who are doing it will
really consider not shrubbery, because that doesn't work, but some kind of technology
that will buffer the noise because it's just horrible. I represent a lot of people who
couldn't be here tonight. Some people got lost--they just called mo they are on their
way. We are really, really concerned about what this is going to mean because we
can't--with the Portly Grape--we couldn't go into our backyards anymore. And now
this is going to flood us from both sides. It's unbearable. That's what I have to say.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Is there anyone else in the audience who wishes to address
this?
John Costello: I represent myself and my wife, Sara, who live directly across the street
from that property. That property could be resulting in many home--none of which
would ever be affordable ,'~NO acre zoning on a 60-some odd acre parcel of land,
public sewer out front, there's public water out front. My preference is to have the
winery. My wife's preference would be to support the winery. They are not doing land
office business at certain times of the year. If it's full impact of homes vs. a winery, I'll
take the winery. I'd like to support this project. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Is there anyone else?
Pantelis Papazo,qlov, 7 Red Oak Court, Dix Hill,~: Good evening. I happen to be a part
owner of the property that some people mentioned here--right at the intersection where
the Main Road comes into the Village, which now me and my partners are sitting there
for about 30 years. We have invested a lot of money in that property and we show that
property being condemned. They say it's being condemned because we bought the
property many years ago in the late '70's when that was the only commercial property
Southold Town Plannin,q Board Paqe Seven September 13, 2010
here in Greenport. We got ail the permits here from the Town and one January evening
in the middle of the winter, we received a stop order--we had already laid foundations
down. We went to court a couple of times and lost the case for different reasons that I
don't want to go into detail. Now, rm not so sure whether to speak for the property that
is being attempted to be developed now across the street from us, or speak for it. What
I would like to say is that if a piece of land anywhere in the USA is being sold and is
being bought by individuals. And that individual is trying to develop that piece of land
according the existing laws and according to the zone, then that particular land--say it
was zoned commercial---then I have a dght to develop that land as commercial. If the
respective Board here should have plans when the Village was being developed and
they had considered that, you know that particular property might be a betterment to the
community. They might have thought of it at the onset of planning a particular area. But
once that area is commercial area, then rm all for it. I don't like to condemn the
property myself. But my other question is, going around this Town here, I see a lot of
properties that were zoned for agricultural and then all of a sudden these buildings in
the middle of the property that was for agricultural use that are now being used
commercially. This is a conflict. (inaudible) What is the designation of this land? Is it
commercial or is it for mixed use? I would like to know. If it is mixed use and
commercial then they have a right to develop. I had a right to develop my own land, I
had foundation there for 30 years that was buded underground and it's the ugliest part
in the Town. And I was condemned. Let me add something here because a lot of
people here could become very emotional when they descdbe the well-being and how
they would like to protect the lives. I feel the same way where I live. If I see something
that is being developed that is contrary to the zoning or the laws, then I am going to
object as well. But my biggest complaint about some people in this town--perhaps you
know what happened to this (inaudible) some 25 years ago. When we presented our
plans here to develop that piece of land dght at the comer, a member of the Board
stood up and said "we are not going to allow these bdcks to turn Greenport into
Jamaica Avenue." Now that was an ethnic slur. We were pushed out of Greenport just
because we were Greeks. You know, this hurts. And it hurts to this day and bdngs
tears to my eyes, because I had a dream like everybody else has a dream to live a nice
life and to do the most that one can do about himself. I invested a lot of money and I
don't want to see other people investing money in this Village, when they want to create
some business and they want to renovate the value of the properties around here, to be
pushed away like I was pushed away. Like the previous owner of my property was
pushed away as well. So again, I would like to know whether these properties around
here in Southold that are agricultural zoned, if they really have permits to develop
commercial properties within the property. Because everywhere you go you have
people selling tomatoes. A lot of people are concerned about traffic. Why don't you
drive around Southold and see how many commercial spaces you have over there.
Everybody is posing a threat to accidents. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: I will simply say this property is zoned ACR-80 and this use is permitted.
Pantelis Papazo.qlov: Has it always been, or has it changed?
Martin Sidor: I don't know what the history of the property is.
Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa,qe Ei,qht September 13, 2010
Joseph Townsend: They added wineries to agricultural designation.
Martin Sidor: Do you mean the zoning designation of the property?
Pantelis Papazo.qlov: Many years ago, let's take it back 30 years ago--they were all
agricultural properties and then they changed--they petitioned and they gave them
permits to develop it commemially. Then I bought a commemial property and I invested
money in that--I got all the permits from you people and we didn't do anything contrary
to the law and then we were stopped. I don't think this is fair to buy a commemial
property then all of a sudden you wake up one morning and you discover that it's not,
and other people buy agricultural and then the next moming it's mixed use and it's
commemial. I think it's very unfair.
James Dinizio, Jr., 39 Sound Road, Greenport: Besides the people in Peconic
Landing, I am probably the closest to this project. I live about midway up, about 700'
from the sound. It must have been changed, because when I first looked at it, it was
much closer to the Sound. You guys had them move it back or something, during the
course of something?
Martin Sidor: The building? No.
James Dinizio: I came in here once, I looked at a plan--it looked like that was up on the
Sound, closer to the Sound. But in any case, I have no objection at all to this. That land
has sat there for many, many years. Originally it was zoned Hamlet Density--four
houses per acre. They had sewers. That went on for a while and then they changed it
to upgrade it to two-acre. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw all the trees coming
down and chewed up and a vineyard went in them it's very nico besides the purple-
ness of the mad after the birds get done with it, it's an asset. I think that having a
tasting room and a relatively small building there, three stories and 8,000 sq. ft. I
recognize that vineyards throughout the Town can hold special events. You all know
rm on the Zoning Board of Appeals so I know a little big about that. I want to give you a
little history of that whole entire area. Because you live there, you think it's Residential.
But I'm going to tell you that it's Business. There are two marinas not a quarter mile
away from them very large and two districts. There's this gentleman's property which,
by the way, I was on the Board that denied him. Their problem was that they were
asking for something that wasn't allowed. That piece of property was zoned the way it
was zoned for residential office so that during the course of time when the hospital
needed more space, there would be something there. How do I know that? Because I
was on the Committee then. I think Mr. Townsend was probably there at the time too
when we were thinking about zoning and we went through the whole thing--we had all
these discussions. That's how it came about. It wasn't an accident. Unfortunately,
these people were asking to do a supermarket or a drug store or something like that.
They poured foundations and that just isn't allowed in the zone. The Zoning Board
denied it. It certainly wasn't for anything other than zoning reasons. We have Peconic
Landing. Now, say what you want--it's not residence, it's not houses~it's a huge
apartment building, it's a nursing home, it's now a museum obviously, evidently, and a
place where weddings are held. Yes, cars go in and out of that place quite a bit. Our
Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa.qe Nine Se tember 13 2010
intemection is busy. I've never seen cam backed up 50, but I have a GPS and rve
been measuring it. rve never waited all summer long mom than a minute and a half to
get out of that intemection--and I go straight out. (inaudible) So you've got Peconic
Landing, you've got Skipper's down thero you've got plenty of stuff--a gas station the
other way. It's the way it's supposed to be. With the winery there, they might have
affaim. I think the Town is going to start taking cam a little bit mom of watching what
the wineries are doing and how they am doing it. I undemtand there am some
commercial uses going on in thero mstaumnt ownem am having problems with it.
The wineries am having problems trying to make money. I have to go to hearings
where mstaumnt guys came one month, winery guys came the next, and they am all
saying the same thing: we got a business, we gotta run it. We have to be profitable.
And guess what--that's what kept $outhold Town the way it's been--which is probably
a very remarkable place. I believe it will stay there--just look at the map. When you
look at the map, it makes a lot of sense. I think if you're going to consider anything, you
need to consider the application before you. Traffic is traffic. But that was all
considered when it was zoned. Certainly, when we inserted these uses, Peconic
Landing was the same thing--it was not allowed in that zone until we inserted that use
in that zone. It's the same with agricultural. Wineries weren't allowed there until we
inserted the use. If we am going to change a zone (inaudible) a couple of meetings
that said should we put wineries? But let people who grow gropes have a tasting room.
That's how it came about. And that's all these gentlemen am trying to do. (inaudible)
So I ask you not to consider any covenant, any sound barriers--it's all 100' away from
the nearest residence, that's a football field and a quarter--that's a long way. I think we
am going to have a noise ordinance hem pretty soon and maybe people am just
overreacting from what they mad in the paper about a few places that probably went a
little overboard as far as noise is concerned. But please I ask you not to delay the
planning business and let the gentleman go on with his. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Anyone else in the audience who wishes to address the
P~anning Board on this application?
John Costello, 1210 North Road: One question that came up on this application was:
what was the previous use of this property?. It was a farm. It was farm for many yearn
and had a little farm stand out them. Adjacent to it was Porky's Restaumnt. Porky's
was a big event. I've seen cars at Porky's--hundreds of people at events at that
restaurant. But it was a farm stand for many years.
Martin Sidor: Do you have a question regarding this application?
Pantelis Papazo,qlov: Like I said, I have no objection (inaudible) this particular person
is allowed to do this, then he's allowed to do that. We cannot be changing things
overnight and catching people by surprise. You have people investing a lot of money
into properties and they try to develop them and then we have a condemnation. As I
said, I was caught on the other end. Of course, some people hem feel that they have
(inaudible) because they objected for the same masons hem tonight about the traffic,
about this and that, but the same night we am being denied another person down the
road with a restaurant got a permit to use adjacent land for parking--you know what I'm
Southold Town Plannin.q Board Pa.qe Ten September ~ 2010
talking about--it's dght at the corner. You have a lot of people parking and exiting from
them. To this day, I think accidents have occurred or fatalities have occurred in that
particular ama. Again, it is to the interest of the individual who owns a house hem to
maintain a nice envimnment for themselves and their families, but you have to consider
what is going on with the other site as well. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: I saw a hand--yes?
Paul Loeb,1050 North Road: (inaudible) go to the permitted uses of the land, which
sounds like what they am doing is the furthest expansion that could be done with the
land to keep it as a farm. The pm vious uses--it was a farm--it did have a farm stand,
but them was no need for 100-120 parking spots. It was a small farm stand. They
would give vegetables for the members of the neighborhood, the families. They
participated with this little pocket neighborhood just outside of the Village. The scale of
what they am doing hem is way different than previous usage which was a farm. Then
it was overgrown with a forest across the stm et--so a big change in character to the
neighborhood.
Martin Sidor: I will simply say that agriculture has been one big change over the last 30
years. As a farmer, I mcognize the changes from the traditional crops hem to
something like this. But this is a permitted use; it is mcognized by NYS Ag & Markets.
Simply because it's a permitted use does not mean it doesn't have to go through a
pmcess~both a public input and scm ening and traffic concerns. So, it's not a
permitted use and nothing else takes place. There am still m quire ments that will be
asked of the applicant.
Paul Loeb: When it was Porky's Restaurant, that was pdor to the Seajet being out in
o~ient, so the traffic to the ferry was less. You now have all of that additional traffic.
When that is built, I think the homes around it will devalue based on the noise. It's
according to how it goes with the noise and the functions and the traffic. But nice
homes that am surrounding them now am going to be devalued because nobody will
want to be them. So they'll only buy based on price, so it will lower the value of them.
Thank you again.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Is them anyone else in the audience who wishes to addm ss
the Planning Board? Nancy, maybe some questions that you wanted to answer or to
clear some of the questions that were bm ught up as far as parking, possibly?.
Nancy Steelman: Yes. The parking requirements: we have one pdmary lot which is 42
spaces. That is based on the Planning Board's requirement, a zoning code
mquirement. As many of the wineries have had parking issues in the past, the Planning
Board has also acknowledged that certain ama is set aside for overflow parking when
them is a special event, and that is what we have provided. We have pm vided an
additional gravel ama that is going to be for harvest ama during the Fall season and
also for spillover parking. So we tried to accommodate the Planning Board's concerns
about parking on site. I'd also like to note that the Town-as it is my understanding
through the Suffolk Times and also through watching community Town Board meetings
Southold Town Plannin,q Board Pa.qe Eleven September 13.2010
about the sound/noise ordinance--Mr. Russell is really trying to make that happen in the
next couple of months..Public headngs are starting to go on. My clients will always
make sure that they do everything they can to respect the Town Code and not try to
violate anything.
Martin Sidor: I'm not sure but anytime the winery has a special event, do they need a
permit where they have to come before the Town Board and explain themselves?
Nancy Steelman: My understanding is it's through the Zoning Board chairman. A
special permit would be granted to them looking at the use and time of event and
parking requirements also for a certain amount of people. There are certain
parameters and our clients will meet all them.
Martin Sidor: Thank you.
Susan Nestor: What I am asking to the architect is that since their sound travels so
rapidly and so far, are there some precautions being made in this plan of this building
that will take into consideration buffering the Sound so that it doesn't emanate to the
houses which are so closo they're on both sides to the east and to the west and up
and down that whole Sound Road. I don't know technically what can be done, but I
know barders can be built. For outdoor music, there could be a sound wall or
something that can buffer the sound to keep the people in the neighborhood from being
miserable.
Nancy Steelman: There probably are sound issues here depending on the events that
are being held. But I think one of the things that we've tried to do and to prevent sound
from traveling is that the building proper is 748' from any of the property lines along
Sound Road. From a distance, we've tried to locate it so that sound will not travel. I
can't determine that within a certain decibel range there would be some issues there,
but I think that, with the noise ordinance potentially going into effect, there will be
monitoring along property lines. I can't really say for each event what they would do in
terms of locating the speakers, the direction of speakers and wind and different issues.
Susan Nestor: I saw the map and I saw where it was located, and sound really travels.
That amount, 700', or the 400' from the other side, is nothing, absolutely nothing. It's a
tiny, short distance. So, for sound purposes, when you hear somebody coming down
the street, you can hear them on the other end often. So unless something is actually
done, like structurally--and I know some people say vegetation: we can plant trees to
buffer. Even that does very little. Unless there's some structural mechanism taken into
consideration, you're going to have a lot of unhappy neighbors. I know that. So my
question is, are you saying to me that there is nothing structural being considered?
Martin Sidor: Anyone else?
Southold Town Plannin,q Board Pa,qe Twelve September 13, 2010
James Dinizio: These are my neighbors, they are all very nice people and they are all
very concerned. The concern is emanating from a very bad neighbor dght now, OK--in
the Portly Grape. That is a valid concern on Sound Road because one person just
doesn't seem to want to be a neighbor. I just ask you---don't make your decision don't
hang a rope around the Kontakosta's neck because Mr. Portly Grape can't be
neighborly. OK? Now he's operating out of a building I think is illegal, rm dealing with
the Town with that dght now, and quite honestly I'm not getting very far. But I can tell
you--rm begging you not to hang the Portly Grape's--I don't want to be too hard, but
the man is just not a goodneighbor. He's just not a good person, I think. I don't want
you to judge Kontakosta, this winery, based on that. Don't put any other restrictions
that you wouldn't put on any winery. The man is agricultural; he's entitled to everything
that he is asking you to do. You know it, I know it, and again, my neighbors are worded
about the Portly Grape which I believe and I think my neighbors believe he is not
entitled to do what he is doing. But don't judge these people on that. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. Anyone else?
Susan Nestor: Not to beat a dead horse, but just one more consideration. We've
talked about sound, we've talked about size, and we've talked about parking and traffic.
Signage is the last frontier. I would just ask you, as you are looking at the site plan and
the plans as they move forward, to think about the appropriateness of the signage.
Sited so far back on the lot, I think that the normal tendency would be to make as grand
an entrance as possible to catch your attention from people going by. That, I think
would be the kiss of death for what we are trying to accomplish on North Road. That's
just my final word. Thank you.
Martin Sidor: Thank you. No one else?
