Gordon - ill James Wall - unable to attend from Fishers Island Peter Kreh~ Jr. - the Board reviewed Mr. Kreh's four lot minor subdivision, all of which have over 40,000 square feet in area. Covenants and restrictions as to no further subdivision will be required for the oversized lots as well as a notation on the map that there will be no further subdivision. The Planning Board will make a physical inspection of the property when the snow is gone. C. E. Allen - the Board reviewed Mr. Allen's four lot minor subdivision. Covenants and restrictions will be necessary for no further subdivision and a notation should be placed on the map to that effect. The Planning Board will require an affidavit of ownership whenever there is a corporation involved at to the stockholders and principles to show there is no conflict of interest. In answer to whether Folly Beach Ltd. had a right-of-way over the access owned by Peconic Sands, Inc., the answer was in the affirmative. There is access for lots l, 2 and 3 as it is laid out on this map. They also have rights to bring water down from a well approved by the Health Department. They have been laid out for cluster cesspools. Mr. Wickham asked if they will continue to use the private road for access to lot #4 and the answer was in the affirmative. There is a building and shed on lot #4. Mr. Raynor remarked that lot #4 presently exists on a filed map. Planning Board -2- january 24, 1977 Mr. Reese subdivision on Soundview Avenue. It was suggested that the park and playground be to the rear of the property rather than on Soundview Avenue which is a heavily travelled area. Mr. Raynor suggested that it be to the northwest so it could be joined with the Zebroski property is it is ever subdivided. It was thought that it would be more trouble if the area remains here and is fenced as suggested by Mr. Reese. Mr. Raynor mentioned drainage and recharge facilities. It also might come uuder the jurisdiction of the Suffolk County Dept. of Planning because the County Park is across the street. This will have to be checked. Storm water has to be kept on the land and returned to the ground on the premises. Mr. Raynor felt if the lots were moved up there would be a terracing effect. Eouros subdivision in New Suffolk. Edward Boyd V, Esq. appeared. Mr. Wickham told Mr. Boyd that the 50 feet should be disposed of to one of the adjacent property owners. Mr. Boyd will inform the Kouros'. Five lots constitute a major subdivision. Mr. Boyd said the roads are already there. Four lots would be extremely large. He would like the five-lot plan to be adopted. Mr. Wickham said 5% is usually required for park and playground and, perhaps, the 14,000 square feet which is the above-mentioned 50 feet could be used for that if no one wants to buy it. Piccione. Mr. William Finn appeared to complain about the right-of-way location for this minor subdivision. He said it goes a few feet from his bedroom window. He wanted to know why access couldn't be obtained from Second Street and there was a question about the condition of Second Street as access for three more property owners. It seems it gets flooded when it rains to be impassible. Mr. Wickham suggested that the principles be contacted and an extension of time be asked for to straighten this problem out. If the principles agree, the Planning Board can reconsider the map. If the Planning Board fails to take action, the map is considered automatically approved. Mr. Raynor suggested that the Board ask the principles to pave the extreme east of the driveway which would give about another 12 feet of area from the Finn house. Mr. Finn was going to talk to Mr. Rein and inform the Planning Board of the outcome of the conversation. Gunther Morchel site plan. Larry Liso appeared. Mr. Liso said the diagonal parking, as suggested by the Planning Board, came out further into the street than straight parking. Fifteen spaces is probably adequate but the slots are only 200 square feet rather than the 350 square feet required by the ordinance. Low shrubs will be required and the Planning Board should be notified as to the kind of shrubs that will be put in. The owner doesn't want to put grass in but leave the concrete as it is on the Old Main Road. There should be some sort of barrier to keep people from parking in the front. They may have to go to the Board of Appeals for a variance on parking. Mr. Planning Board -3- J. ~ary 24, 1977 Liso was told to contact the building inspector to find how many parking spaces he needs for the old building and the total for the old and the new. If he can't come up with the required number of parking spaces, he will have to go to the Board of Appeals. Fischer property. Renee Gendron and Lou Edson appeared. The on--~y oomment made on this minor subdivision was that the right-of-way should go to the east thirty feet in the vicinity of lot #3 or lot Lawrence Sto~an minor subdivision on the Main Road, Cutchogue. Mr. Stojan is combining some property to come up with a four-lot minor subdivision on the Main Road. He is in Phase I of the Suffolk County Farmland Aquisition program for the property in the rear. The Planning Board had no objections to this layout. Mr. Wickham stated that it has come to the attention of the Planning Board that there are several major additions or new buildings within the Town that have not come to the Planning Board for site plan approval. In particular, there is the Haas property in Peconic; Mattituck Bowling Alleys in Mattituck; MacGuire green- house in Mattituck which, if the greenhouse were set back from the road would be an accessory building, but since it is set up near the road it is obviously for sales purposes and the Planning Board is concerned about the parking because of the traffic hazard already in that area; Colonial Corners at Southold; Norkus crystal factory in Southold. Mr. Wickham requested that the secretary write a letter to the building inspector with this information. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED to recommend waiving the construction requirements pertaining to depth of curbs in the subdivision known as ,,Or~fo~ View Estates" and to recommend release of the bond based on the approval of the Highway Superintendent and the Town Engineer. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED to recommend a drawing back of the turnaround on Sleepy Hollow Lane in the subdivision entitled "Sleepy Hollow at Southold" as requested by the developer in order to comply with the Southold Town Wetland Ordinance. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. Planning Board -4- ~ ~uary 24, 1977 On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED to transmit to the Town Board for their findings the proposed cluster subdivision of Fellinger-Ihar. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. The Planning Board does not like this particular cluster layout but feels that a cluster subdivision at this location might have value for preserving agriculture. This information is to be transmitted to the Town Board. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED to hold a public hearing on the map of the minor subdivision of Edward Gibbons. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED to hold a public hearing on the preliminary mpa of the subdivision known as "Heritate Harbor". Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED to approve the preliminary map dated December 2, 1976, of the subdivision known as "Col. Ted Dowd", ~ubject to covenants and restrictions being filed as to no further subdivision and a notation being placed on the final map that no lot will be further subdivided. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED to approve the minor subdivision of D. T. and G. Smith as amended December 28, 1976, subject to receipt of recommendations of the Suffolk County Planning Commission, covenants and restrictions being filed in the Suffolk County Clerk's Office as to no further subdivision. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. Planning Board -5- J _mary 24, 1977 The Planning Board directed that a letter be written to the purchasers in the Claussen Construction Compauy minor subdivision as to their responsibility in the upkeep of the right-of-way owned by Hale. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED to give final approval and authorize signing of the maps of the minor subdivision of Barbara A. Howard in Southold. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle. The following letter was directed by the Chairman to be directed to Supervisor Martocchia. The Planning Board has found that our secretary, Mrs. Brush, is entitled to between three and seven days off a month depending upon her responsibility for night meetings and night hearings. As a result, she is not in the office to handle the telephone. We would respectfully request than answering and recording service be provided for her to speed the work of the Planning Board and Trustees. Such equipment would be under $100 and would be of substantial help to all of us. Mr. Raynor made a motion, seconded by Mr. Coyle and carried to approve the minutes of the meeting of December 27, 1976. EliOah's Lane Estates~ Section I. The Joseph Saland office has been in contact with the office of the Planning Board. They are desirous of dissolving the corporation after the necessary improvements have been made in the spring. There was a question of some water to the west outside of the subdivision, the problem apparently caused by the installation of the recharge basiu in Section I. There are two solutions to this situation. Either the roads and recharge basin has to be dedicated to the Town or a property owners' association formed to accept title to these items because the corporation can't be dissolved and leave the ownership of the improvements in the name of the corporation. Mr. Coyle made a motion, seconded by Mr. Raynor and carried to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 p.m. Respectfully s~ubmitted, Mur~el B~MYsh, Secretary
