Southold, NY 11971 RE: MILL CREEK PRESERVE SCTM#56-1 -t '1.1 Dear Mr. Ernst: The Southold Town Board of Trustees reviewed the subdivision plan prepared by John C. Ehlers Land Surveyor last dated December 29, 2003 and determined the proposed dwellings on Lots 1,2,3,4 & 5 to be out of the Wetland jurisdiction under Chapter 97 of the Town Wetland Code and Chapter 37 of the Town Code. A Wetland Permit is required for any activity within 100' on Lots 1,2,3,4 & 5. Thereforel in accordance with the currant Tidal Wetlands Code (Chapter 97) and the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (Chapter 37) no permit is required. Please be advised, however, that no construction, sedimentation, or disturbance of any kind may take place seaward of the tidal wetlands jurisdictional boundary or seaward of the coastal erosion hazard area as indicated above, without a permit. It is your responsibility to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent any sedimentation or other alteration or disturbance to the ground surface or vegetation within Tidal Wetlands jurisdiction and Coastal Erosion Hazard Area, which may result from your project. Such precautions may include maintaining adequate work area between the tidal wetland jurisdictional boundary and the coastal erosion hazard area and your project or erecting a temporary fence, barrier, or hay bale berm. However, any activity within 100' of a Wetland line or seaward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area would require permits from this office. This determination is not a determination from any other agency. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call.

SOUTHOLD N.Y. 11971 BOARD OF TRUSTEES TOWN OF SOUTHOLD Dear Sirs, We are currently in the fins! approval stage for Mill Creek Preserve, a conservation subdivision that preserves 90% of our 80 acre parcel and reduces density 75% from a possible 23 homes to 6. Attached are copies of documents from various agencies regarding this project. This action is covered under the Towns Moratorium as a conservation subdivision and meets all requirements for the Town to move ahead with it's approval process. Per the Trustees Temporary Moratorium, restrictions for reviewing and processing applications are for any new residential or commercial structure/building on vacant land. We feel that the moratorium does not apply in this circumstance for the following reasons: I. The land is not vacant, it has a residence and farm compoun~ occupied since 1710. 2. We are not making an application for a structure, we ere seeking approval through the town for the project. Individual applications for construction will not he made until mid to late next year. What we are seeking is the guidance and direction of the Trustees in the design and execution of this conservation subdivision. Run off from ~ used on lawns and ornamental plantings going in to our wetlands is a prime concern to us. As is the runoff from tbxm operations. On our farm, we have created grass filter strips around our fields, diverted runoff from the fields away from the wetlands, and keep farm opexations well away from the tidal wetlands. To be proactive in our approach to the building lots that border on the wetlands, it is our intent to design the homes with raised decks and screened porches along the waterfront side, with minimal disturbance to the land between it and the wetland delineation. Pruning of dead plants/trees or ofinvasive species per eximing codes would be allowed. Plantings of non-indigenous plants or lawns will not he allowed. Ornamental plantings and hwns are restricted to the landward side of the home. By locating the homes so that rear yards are ~ disturbance and abuse to the wetlands are minimized, enforcement by the D.E.C. and town facilitated (no expendln~ hwns, nmoff~ etc.). Setl~cks to buildings are set at g0 to 90 feet on lot !, 2 and 3. Lots 4 and 5 have different considerations ami structures there exceed the 100 foot setbacks. Lot 6 is the existing farm complex and no changes to structures or additions are expected at this time. Lot 1 has a small building lot that is constrained by a small seasonal freshwater wetland and a spur of tidal wetland tbat juts imo the lot. This spur may have been man made to drain the small wetland area, but nevertheless exists. We have achieved 80 to 86 feet for tidal setbacks and 100 feet for the freshwater setback. To go to 100 feet for the tidal would severely impinge on the residence. Lots 2 and 3 could have there setbacks increased to I00 feet, but to do that I would need to remove the restrictions on rear yard usage as the front yards would become less usable. I am lookinE forward to your site visit and input regarding these issues. NOV20 2003 EdwardErt,~tl { ~ ~'"' · BOARD OF TOWN TRU~r.=$ TOWN OF SOUTHOLD 5300~ Mairt Ro~d Pho~e 765-189~ ,~:~, N.

Krupski, Jr. Ed Ernest Sub-division June 26, 2002 Mr. Ernest spoke to the Board, once on site and once at a Board Session About his Conservation Sub-division at Arshamonaque Pond. His request was to have the Board recommend to the Planning Department. Because of the nature of the over all sub-division and the proximity of tidal wetland that the less infrastructure, the better, with regard to road construction. After considering Mr. Emest's proposal. The Southold Town Board of Tmstee's has no problem with the access road meeting minor sub-division specification as this area is adjacent to a productive shellfish creek. Minimizing the infrastructure will disturb less of the support land for the wetland. AJK:CJC Albert J. Krupski, President James King, Vice-President Artie Foster Ken Peliwoda Peggy A.

Because this parcel is undeveloped, and because the Southold Town Board of Tmstee's is familiar with it and the surrounding areas. The Board agrees with Mr. Ernest about his request. As little disturbance as possible would be the Board's recommendation, such as road standards for a minor sub-division. AJK;cjc
