Containing 7.878 acres. Any person desiring to be heard on the above matter should appear at the time and place above specified. Dated: March 24, 1975 ~BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD JOHN WICKHAM, CHAIRMAN Proof of publication was presented from the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler - Mattituck Watchman. Mr. Wickham read the covenants and restrictions as to no further subdivision of this property and copy of the description will be attached to this affidavit to be filed with the County Clerk. Mr. Wickham: Is there anyone who would like to be heard in opposition to this subdivision? Hearing none, I will ask for anyone who wishes to be heard in favor of it. Mr. Luce: We have contracted to have the road built and will resurface the road to comply with the Board's recommendation. Any suggestions you may have I am willing to listen and I would appreciate it if you can see your way clearly to favor this minor subdivision. Mr. Wickham: This matter has been before the Planning Board for almost two years and we have had many changes in it and this map has been designed to meet the requirements of the Planning Board. If there is no one else who wishes to speak on this subdivision, I will declare the hearing closed. Mr. Wickham: I would like to have written into the minutes exactly how you and the Board propose to handle the road. Mr. Luce: It is my understanding that we are to go 150 feet up on this road going to the Billard property and to about the middle of lot number three. Mr. Wickham: We said in view of the fact that this was a minor subdivision that we were asking for you to surface the road but not to town standards. What were you thinking on the width of the surfacing? Mr. Luce: It is a fifty foot road all the way in. Twenty feet would be ~urfaced keeping it as a private road until such time if in the future we would turn it over to the town. Mr. Coyle asked him if he had thought of putting in a fire- well and Mr. Luce replied that he thought there was one on Pine Tree Road. It was agreed by Mr. Luce and the Planning Board to bring the twenty-f$ot paved road to the park area. Planning Boara -3- March 31, 1975 Mr. Spies - Klaffky property in Nassau Point. Barry Spies, the son, appeared with him. Mr. Spies is desirous of making a six-lot subdivision of property owned by Mrs. Klaffky in Nassau Point for which he is under contract. Mr. Spies seemed insistent that he wanted to divide the property into six lots as a major although Mr. Wickham thought he would probably be better off with a four lot minor. Mr. Spies will think it over and come back to the Board with a proposal in the future. Tut's Acres, minor subdivision. Alma Surer appeared. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Section 276 of the Town Law, Public Hearing will be held by the Southold Town Planning Board at the Town Clerk's Office, Main Road, Southold, New York, in said Town on the 31st day of March, 1975, on the question of the following: 8:00 p.m. Approval of a minor subdivision of property owned by Alma Suter known as "Tut's Acres", consisting of a parcel of land situate, lying and being at Mattituck, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, bounded and described as follows: BEGINNING at a point on the northerly line of the Main Road, 764.09 feet easterly along said norhterly line from Elijah's Lane, said point of beginning being the southeasterly corner of land of Adel; from said point of beginning running along said land of Adel, N. 26° 19' 20" W. 2256.59 feet; thence along ~and of Tuthill, N. 61° 31' 40" E. 626.61 feet; thence along land of Kurkowski, N. 73° 52' 10" E. 253.20 feet; thence along land of Cross, S. 27° 27' 00" E. 832.82 feet; thence along said land of Cross, and other land of said Adel, S. 59° 51' 30" W. 875.70 feet; thence along said other land of Adel, S. 26° 19' 20" E. 1354.81 feet to said northerly line of the Main Road; thence along said northerly line N. 86° 00' W. 20.85 feet to the point of beginning. Containing 18.6597 acres. Any person desiring to be he~rd on the above matters should appear at the time and place above specified. Dated: March 24, 1975 BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD JOHN WICKHAM, CHAIRMAN Proof of publication was presented from the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler - Mattituck Watchman. Planning Boar~ -4- March 31, 1975 Mr. Wickham: At this time I will ask if there is anyone who wishes to be hard in opposition to this subdivision known as Tut's Acres. Hearing none, I will call at this time anyone who wishes to be heard in favor of it. Mrs. Suter: I would like to thank you for your consideration. I think we have complied with all the rules and regulations that go along with a subdivision. I think the lots are big enough so I don't think there should be any objection. Mr. Wickham: Make sure the minutes show that there is a statement on the map saying "Private road" as shown is reserved for possible future dedication to the Town of Southold. There being no one else wishing to be heard, at this time I will declare the hearing closed. Peter Sled~eski minor. Rudy Bruer appeared. The Board and Mr. Bruer discussed the two rights-of-way on this property. The Stillo right-of-way is not a metes and bounds description and can be changed without any trouble. The twelve foot right-of-way on the west of the property will either be exchanged for the new right-of-way or left as is. ~n-~oti~n made by Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Grebe, it was RESOLVED to approve the sketch plan of the minor sub- division owned by Peter Sledjeski located at Orient, New York, subject to resolving the problem of the twelve-foot right-of-way on the westerly side of the premises. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe, Raynor. Mr. Coyle made a motion, seconded by Mr. Moisa and carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of March 12, 1975. On motion made by Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED that a public hearing be held on April 21, 1975 on the question of the approval of a minor subdivision of Simcich located at Southold, New York. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe and Raynor. PLanning Boar~ -5- March 31, 1975 Oregon View. Mr. Raynor reported that the vast majority of the trees are in the town right-of-way. He spoke with the Town Attorney, Mr. Tasker, and he said they are correct and the exceptions Mr. Terry quoted are not applicable to the s~ecific section of plantings for new subdivisions. Mr. Wickham read the applicable section, A106-33 B. Improvements. Streets shall be graded and improved with pave- ments, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, drainage facilities, water mains, sewers, stre~tlights and street siEns, street trees and fire hydrants, except where waivers may be requested, and the Planning Board, upon written approval of the Superin- tendent of Highways and the Town Board Highway Committee, may waive, subject to appropriate conditions, such improvements as it considers may be omitted without jeopardy to the public health, safety and general welfare. Pedestrian easements shall be improved as required by the Planning Board. Such grading and improvements shall be approved as to design and specifica- tions by the Town Superintendent of Highways and the Town Board Highway Committee. Mr. Wickham said he had spoken with some members of the Town Board who would like them on the property owner's land so the town is not respansible for the maintenance in the future. Until such time as our rules and regulations for the subdiv- ision of land are changed we really have no right to ask for it uuless it should be waived at the request of the subdivider. Where the subdivider has met the requirements of the Planning Board, Mr. Wickham feels that there is no problem. Mr. Wickham signed the maps of Oregon View. Peconic Knolls. Stephen Tsontakis, Nelson Axien and Stanley Waimey appeared. Mr. Moisa read the Notice of Hearing. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Section 276 of the Town Law, Public Hearing will be held by the Southold Town Planning Board at the Town Clerk's Office, Main Road, Southold, New York, in said Town on the 31st day of March, 1975, on the question ~f the following: 8:30 p.m. Approval of the preliminary map of property owned by Adelphi Land C~rporation known as "Peconic Knolls" consisting of a parcel of land situate, lying and being at Peconic, Southold Town, Suffolk County, New York, bounded and described as follows: BEGINNING at a point on the southerly side of Lakeview Avenue where the same is intersected by the northeast corner of lands now or formerly of Elaine Axien, at the northwesterly Planning Boara -6- March 31, 1975 corner of the herein described premises; thence running along the southerly side of Lakeview Avenue S. 54° 52' 40" E. 200.0 feet to lands now or formerly of Jose Garido; thence along said lands S. 28° 09' 50" W. 201.48 feet to lands now or form- erly of Four Sails Realty, Inc.; thence along said last mentioned land along lands of Jose Garrido S. 54° 52' 40" E. 400.02 feet; thence N. 35° 07' 20" E. 200.0 feet; thence along said map line and the s~Mt~ert~ map line of subdivision "Bailey Park" Suffolk County File No. 1097 the following two courses and distances: (1) S. 54° 52' 40" E. 421.99 feet and (2) S. 42° 24' 00" E. ?9.09 feet to land known as the subdivision "Peconic Homes, Section 2" Suffolk County File No. 5001; thence along said last mentioned land S. 44° 50' 00" W. 518.30 feet to the northwesterly terminus of "Peconic Homes"; thence along lands now or formerly of C.P.F.

Any person desiring to be heard on the above matters should appear at the time and place above specified. Dated: March 24, 1975 BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD JOHN WICKHAM, CHAIRMAN Affidavits of publication were received from the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler - Mattituck Watchman. The following letter under date of February 24, 1975 to the Planning Board was read: Gentlemen: The Highway Committee and I have inspected the map, and approve the lay-out of Peconic Knolls, Peconic, New York. /s/ Raymond C. Dean Supt. of Highways The following communication dated January, 1975 was read: I, Stephen G. Tsontakis, the undersigned, depose that I am the sole owner of Adelphi Land Corp. /s/ Stephen G. Tsontakis Signature notarized The following letter to the Planning Board under date of September 12, 1974 was read: Gentlemen: Mr. Larry M. Tuthill and I inspected the site of Peconic Knolls and Mr. Louis M. Demarest inspected the plans and the Planning Boara -7- March 31, 1975 and recommendations are as follows: 1. That the road cross-section does not show curbs. 2. That the paved section is not centered in the 50' of highway area. That the name of Henry's Lane be used in place of Autumn Lane as this road is an extension of Henry's That the existing mosquito ditches be noted on the plans and profile as it is believed these ditches must be maintained since they go beyond the sub- division. /s/ Raymond C. Dean Supt. of Highways Mr. Raynor: It is noted on the map to be preserved also. Mr. Wickham: There is a letter here from William Wickham, Esq. saying that his office represents Nelson Axien and that an endeavor will be made to have all the owners of the Axien property agree to change their rights over the present trav- elled road for easements over the new 50 foot roadway. The following letter was read addressed to Mr. Tsontakis and dated December 7, 1973. Dear Mr. Tsontakis: In reply to your letter of December 6, 1973, the drainage pond and sluice gate that you plan to construct in the pro- posed subdivision of Peoonic Knolls appears to be adequate for mosquito control purposes. The Suffolk County Mosquito Control Commission approves of this plan and has no objections to your developing this site. /s/ Joseph Sanzone Superintendent Mr. Wickham: Everything appears to be in order. At this time I will open the hearing to anyone who wishes to speak in opposition to this subdivision known as Peconic Knolls. Hear- ing none, anyone who wishes to speak in favor of it may do so at this time. Mr. Tsontakis: I believe that the latest version of the preliminary map presented here complies with the requirements of the Highway Department, the Town Planning Board, the Health Department, the Mosquito Control Commission and the adjoining neighbors. We have endeavored to develop this piece of land Planning Boara -8- .arch 31, 1975 not only from the standpoint of satisfying everyone's require- ments but to retain as much as possible the natural beauty of the area. To live with all the requirements and trying to achieve this goal is no simple task. I pray that the Planning Board approve it. Mr. Tsontakis agreed to contact Mr. Dean, the Highway Superin- tendent, to see what he wanted as far as a slope easement was concerned. Mr. Moisa: The drainage ditch which is noted to be preserved has not been resolved. Mr. Axien: There is no deed easement leading into Miami Avenue. The travelled driveway in lot number 9 should go out of lot number 9 at the junction to the rear of Peconic Homes lots. In Section 4 paragraph ll it requires that the plat show the location of and width of all easements. The easement is twenty feet shown in Liber 2289 Page 147. This deed will certify the easement as being 20 feet. The restrictions say that the amount of money for the property owners association to pay cannot exceed $50 in any year. This seems too restrict- ive. Mr. Wickham: He is right. You should probably add "or what- ever amount might be determined necessary by the property owners association". Mr. Raynor: Don't forget to name the street. Mr. Wickham declared the hearing closed as there was no one else wishing to speak. Highland Estates. William Wickham, Esq., Richard Mohring, Bart J. Piscitello, and Howard Young, P.E. appeared. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing.

Dated: March 24, 1975 BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD JOHN WICKHAM, CHAIRMAN Affidavits of publication were presented from the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler - Mattituck Watch- man. Mr. Wickham: Please note that the map says "77 Hightadd Road" and the description says "75 Highland Road". Which is correct? Mr. Piscitello: 75 Highland Road. The following letter under date of February 27, 1975 addressed to Richard Lark, Esq., Attorney for the developers was read. Dear Mr. Lark: The Planning Board would like to request you and the developers of Highland Estates at Cutchogue to extend the period of time for holding the required hearing on preliminary Planning Boar~ -10- March 31, 1975 approval. In discussion with the Town Attorney, this seems to be by far the best way out of the present dilemma and, acting in good faith, we have already scheduled the required hearing for March 12 and assure you that we will take immediate action on it. In the meanwhile, we will notify our engineer, Lawrence M. Tuthill, that he should meet with Mr. Alden Young of Young & Young to work out the problems that have stalled us for so long. This is as per your suggestion. It is my belief that these matters can be satisfactorily settled in this way and that we may proceed to submit the amended maps to county agencies for their approval. /s/ John Wickham, Chairman Southold Tow~ Planning Board The following letter under date of February 19, 1975 to the Planning Board was read: Dear Mr. Wickham: In corn~ection with the above-captioned proposed subdivision, my records reveal that the application for approval of plat was submitted originally to the Planning Board on March 1974, and pursuant to sketch plan approval received from the Planning Board, the plat was submitted to the Planning Board for preliminary approval on October 4, 1974. However, the Planning Board requested a slight change in the road layout in order to accommodate Mr. Lefferts Edson's proposed subdiv- ision which is adjacent to the westerly boundary of this prop- erty. This revision was accomplished and sent to the Planning Board on October 31, 1974. Since that date I have not heard of any official action taken on the map. Accordingly, demand is being made on you pursuant to Section 276, subdivision 3of the Town Law for a certificate as to date of submission and failure to take action within the prescribed time under the law. /s/ Richard F. Lark Mr. Wickham: Our extension was granted and we were unable to meet the March 12th date because of some problems beyond our control but working with Mr. Lark, we set the hearing for tonight. On January 27th, we have a letter from the Super- intendent of Highways: Gentlemen: A meeting to review several subdivisions was held at the office of Superintendent Raymond C. Dean, Peconic Lane, Peconic at lO:O0 a.m. on January 23, 1975. Present were Planning Board -11- March 31, 1975 Superintendent Dean, Justices Louis Demarest and Martin Suter of the Highway Committee and Mr. L. Tuthill, P.E. It was requested by all that the two cul-de-sacs be eliminated and the road loop around and return to the adja- cent subdivision. /s/ Raymond C. Dean Supt. of Highways Mr. Wickham: Going back to get background for this, under date of December 6th, I have a letter from Howard Young about contour lines on the location map. This is one of our prob- lems because elevations on adjacent maps did not jibe and it took us awhile to work that out. There was a five foot difference in elevations on adjacent maps. Under date of November 26, 1974 a letter is here from our department to the To~n Superintendent of Highways forwarding copies of the map of Highland Estates to the Highway Committee and our Engineer, Larry Tuthillo The following letter under date of November l, 1974 from the Soil Conservation Service of the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture is in the file: Dear John: Regarding the Highland Estates proposed recharge basin site and the soil thereon, I have sampled the soils in three parts of the proposed site and find that the upper silty clay layer varies from 2-1/2 to 5 feet in thickness, and is under- lain by coarse sand. I conclude that there should be no serious problem with these soils in establishing an adequate recharge basin. /s/ Charles R. Barnett District Conservationist Mr. Wickham: There is a letter from the telephone company saying telephone service will be available upon request. There is the same thing from the Long Island Lighting Company. There is a receipt for the fee. Under date of June 17th, there is a letter from the Superintendent of Highways: Gentlemen: On June 12, 1974, at the site, the Highway Committee and I reviewed the subdivision of Highland Estates, Cutchogue, New York, and approved of the drainage and road(s). /s/ Raymond C. Dean Mr. Wickham: There is also here a disclmsure statement giving the names of the principles of this corporation. I will now hear from those who are in opposition to this sub- division. Hearing none, I will hear from those that wish to be heard in favor of this subdivision. Plsnning Boar~ -12- March 31, 1975 William Wickham, Esq.: I uuderstand that you people are in fair agreement with this subdivision. There has been a great deal of work done on it and it seems to me it is a highly desirable subdivision not only for its location in relation to the business section of Cutchog~ which is a slight walking distance. Mr. Wickham: At this time I would like to state that the Planning Board has spent a great deal of time on this as has your attorney and engineer and the Town Superintendent of High- ways and the Town Highway Committee. We have had more than a few changes and in particular the changes on the north end of this subdivision. I personally have spent a great deal of time on this and have discussed this thoroughly with members of the Highway Committee and Supervisor and Acting Supervisor. They are in accord at this time that this overlay which I have before me noted as "Overlay 4B, Highland Estates, March 28, 1975" is the most acceptable. I want to note further that this shows the two most northeasterly lots as large lots of sixty thousand square feet and they are lots 24 and 25 on this overlay. They are in the northeast corner and are larEely wooded and the cul-de-sac shown on this overlay is surrounded by four lots - 20, 21, 22 and 23 and I wish to point out that whereas lots 24 and 25 are quite heavily wooded and generally have some steep grades, lots 20 to 23 are mostly in the open. The grades are much easier and for these reasons this overlay seems much more acceptable. It has been informally approved by the Superintendent of Highways, the Highway Committee and the Acting Supervisor. Mr. Coyle: These numbers seem to have lost one. Mr. Young: We lost a lot. Mr. Wickham: We should note that the date of the map is March 27, 1975 and it shows a total of 39 lots. The overlay 4B will be an amendment to this map. We will incorporate this overlay number 4B as part of the preliminary map of Highland Estates. The map dated October 28, 1974 was not acceptable to the Highway Committee and it showed 40 lots. As a result of compromise and willingness to work together it has been worked out to solve our problems by eliminating one cul-de-sac and one lot. I personally am very well satisfied with this and feel sure we can expedite it. It will have to be sent to the County Planning Commission because it is on the Main High- way but I see no grounds for any objection. Mr. Young: Are you going to approve this map subject to the overlay 4B? Mr. Wickham: We are incorporating overlay 4B as part of this map which means for our purposes this is part of this map. Mr. Piscitello: Are we all together on this engineering? Planning Boara -13- March 31, 1975 Mr. Young: I spoke to Larry today and it seemed to meet his recommendations. Mr. Wickham: Mr. Piscitello met with the Town Attorney, our Engineer, myself, the vice-chairman, Mr. Raynor, in the office of the Town Superintendent of Highways and we went over this and Larry agreed with Young to work it out the best possible way. It was Alden Young that was there. Mr. Wickham declared the hearing closed. Mr. Wickham: The provisions are that you will submit a final map and we will act on it ~ust as soon as we can. Usually, it takes longer to get the bond set up so usually we approve subject to notice received in this office that the Town Board has accepted and has in their possession the bond. We have to receive notification from the Town Clerk that the bond is in their b~ds before we can sign the map. We will send it to the County immediately upon receipt of it. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Grebe, it was RESOLVED to grant approval of the preliminary map of the subdivision known as "Highland Estates" dated March 27, 1975 and including overlay 4B dated March 28, 1975. Vote of the Board: and Raynor. Ayes: Wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe On motion made by Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED to approve the map of the minor subdivision owned by Luce& Penny, Cutchogue, New York, dated February 6, 1975 and amended February 21, 1975. Vote of the Board: and Raynor. Ayes: Wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Moisa, it was RESOLVED to approve the map of the minor subdivision of Alma Surer known as "Tut's Acres", located at Mattituck, New York, subject to receipt of the map with spot elevations. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe. Mr. Raynor abstained from voting. Planning Board -14- March 31, 1975 On motion made by Mr. Grebe, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED to approve the preliminary map of "Peconic Knolls" dated May 29, 1973 and amended February 28, 1975 subject to the following: 1. Naming of the road. 2. Southerly mosquito ditch shown as re-routed. 3. The existing right-of-way being shown. A statement being received as to the slope on the road. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe and Raynor.

Vote of the Board: Ayes: wickham, Moisa, Coyle, Grebe and Raynor. The following was read into the minutes regarding "August Acres" subdivision at Arshamomaque. GEORGE WETMORE, JR., being duly sworn, deposes and says: I have represented the non-resident owner of the property involved in the above-entitled matter in connection with certain problems arising out of this subdivision map and make this affidavit because of a question which has arisen as to the pond shown on Lot 1. The pond shown is not a natural body of water. It is man-made, having been dug by or for one Albert Sledjeski, now deceased, in the early 1950's for use as an irrigation pond for the nearby acreage which he had ~uuder cultivation. The existence of the depression shown as a pond in Lot #1 was necessarily shown because of the existing topography. If the map is approved and an application for the erection of a dwelling thereon should be made, it is proposed that the depression would be filled in. This affidavit is made both to the Southold Town Planning Board and the Suffolk County Department of Health and there is no objection to an endorsement on the map of a condition for the filling in of Lot lopreliminary to it. /s/ George Wetmore, Jr. Planning Boarm -15- March 31, 1975 The Planuing Board concurred with the affidavit of Mr. Wetmore and Lawrence Tuthill reported that he had spoken to Mr. Irving Latham, an excavator, who told him that he had dug it out at one time or another. A copy of this affidavit with a covering letter from the Planning Board is to be sent to Mr. Villa~of the Suffolk County Department of Health. The following letter was directed by Mr. Wickham to be ~ent to Mr. Schriever regarding his subdivision in Orient. "We have received information from numerous people in the Orient area that they do not look favorably on auother connection to Village Lane. It is also our understanding that the Highway Committee does not approve it. We think that you would be well-advised to make a cul-de-sac in the proposed road or as another possibility you might consider abandoning the cluster concept and putting in a loop road with standard lots plus playground and so forth. We offer this suggestion only because to date there has only been one cluster concept approved in the Town of Southold."
