HE There Messrs. John Wickham, Chairman; ; Henry Raynor; Frank Co~le - Surer (8:45 p.m.) Town-Board. Also present: Howard Terry, Building Inspector. Mr. Terry presented the map of L~nds End Subdivision at Orient, which is to be set up for a final hearing. A bond of $100,000 was recommended to 'the Town Board and final Southold Town Planning Board - 2 - November 2, 1972 maps are being prepared by Van Tull & Son. The map has preliminary approval of the County Planning Commission. There was discussion as to requiring cash payment in lieu of park and playground. Mr.~ Wickham said the Planning Board requires the equivalent of one lot for each 50 lots. It was discussed changing this to one lot for each 25 or 30 lots. The Town Board will require one half acre for a recharge area to be taken from lots ~15 and ~16. The roads will be regraded so the water will run to the recharge area. The area is to be dedicated to the Town. Supervisor Martocchia said drainage mn some subdivisions is inadequate or it is underdesigned. Mr. Wickham. reported that on some maps the engineer did not mark and locate the catch basins and they were not put in. The Highway Specifications call for catch basins and leaching pools and the bond calls for them, but the map! does not show them. The Planning Board says as long as they are covered by the bond they have to be put in. We will not recommend release of the bond until they are pu~ in~ There was discussion of the roads in Shorecrest Subdivision. Justice Demarest questioned putting the entrance on the west end. Mr. Terry said the County wanted it there. There was also discussion as to changing the Highway Specifications to require leveling and sowing the~roads to ~t a piece of 1.and for recharge rather than a basin. Mr. Wickham said another way of doing this is using a diffusion well where the elevation is 20 or more feet a~ove sea level. It is similar to a leaching basin but it is down to water. Mr~ WiCkham asked for permission to g~t the specifications from East Hampton Town and ~ry this method, specifically for Blue Horizons Subdivision. The proposed major subdivision for Pebble Beach Realty on Francisco property at East Marion was discussed. Southold Town Planning Board - 3 - November 2, 1972 Mr. Wickham said it is strictly residential with a sewer pliant and average 3/4 acre lots. They propose approximately 250 lots. Mr~ Terry said he.had talked to Ray Dean about the roads and he indicated he did not want cul de sacs and he wanted more cohnecting roads off to the east. Mr. Wickham said the Planning Board told the developers that the lots along the Sound bluff would have to be much deeper due to erosion along the bluff. Supervisor Martocchia inquired about the frontage of some of the lots and Mr. Terry said the new Ordinance requires 135 feet at the building line. Mr. Wickham said the Planning Board also told them there should be more green belting. The walkways would belong to the property owners association. They were also told about putting in a Dpur for the proposed road along the Sound. The Planning Board is going to send the map to the Soil and Water Conservation District. It was reported that William Esseks, Esq., was before the Planning Board in regard to putting condominuims on 22 acres on Tuckers Lane Southold. They want to put up four units per acre. After discussion it was the opinion of the Town Board that the Master Plan, recommending only one area of this type in Southold, Mattituck and adjacent to Greenport, be followed. Since there is a change of zone to M-1 in Southold and one in Greenport for multiple housing, the Town Board is not favorable to another one in Southold. The roads in Harbor Lights Subdivision were discussed. The roads mus,t meet the specifications they were bonded for. Justice Suter said he woUld write a letter to the d~veloper stating the requirements of the Town.

There was discussion about the roads in Laurel Country Estates. Justice Demarest said the Town won't take the roads unless they can drain them.

Southold Town Planning Board - 5 - November 2, 1972 The Town Board reviewed the proposed map of property owne~ by Russell Case et al at Cutchogue. T~is is a proposal for cluster development. There is no provision for cluster housing in the Ordinance. It would have to be a con5ract with the Town Board. Mr. Raynor said the Planning Board ~as informed Mr. Case they would not accept any more minor subdivisions on the property. Mr. Wickham said the low land would be tied up. The Town Board will not consider the map- until Mr.. Case delineates exactly what he wants to do, but they would be receptive to the proposal. Mr. Terry said Lefferts P.
