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.
Sincerely,
James Ki~g~

Dear Mr. King:
We respectfully submit this survey reflecting the changes discussed at I~e field inspection 10 I~cember, 2003. We - -~- Trustees' Jurisdiction, 100 feet back fi'om the
have moved the proposed ~tmct'a~ so that they are now out u~u,~ J
wetlands. We are requesting a letter of non-.lunsdlct~on to continue on w~th this Conservation Opportunity
Subdivision.
Regarding Lot gl. We have moved the struct~'~ back 25 feet from the main body of Long Cre~ to. meet your
request for a 100 foot setlmck The Trusto~ agreed that by moving the structure back from the main body of Long
Creek, you would allow us to expand the house to the east an equal amount, thus reducing the set-back from a
minoe freshwater wetland and small tidal ~par offof Long Creek. We will not address this point at this time as we
are not contemplating conatructton m the near f~ture and this w~ll provide ume for your new laws to be enacte~L
At a late~ date, w~ would appreciate a letter to the D.E.C. supposing this change.

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.

Jim,
Since Al has recused himself, you as Vice President will be the lead Trustee in the Mill
Creek Preserve matter.

current moratorium. I suggest we contact Brownell in lieu of the moratorium with regards to
Section 2: Part 1 - The Board of Trustees of the Town of Southold shall not accept for review,
continue review, hold a hearing or make any decision upon an3' application (new or pending)
made pursnant to Chapter 97 of the Town Code of the Town of Southold for any new residential
or co~nmercial structure/building on vacant land.
Please advise.

Status: Major subdivision application with a conservation component.
HiLauren,
The P.B. held a work session on October 27, 2003 at request of the applicant to
review the final application. At this time we have not received the contract of
sale from the county, therefore can't process this application.
The P.B. has a question on whether this subdivision will be on hold under the
Trustee's Moratorium LL 1/03 & 7/03 as proposed?
Please let us know if the applicant can make a Trustee's application.
The file can be reviewed in the Planning Board Office.
Thank you in advance.

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.

REL Mill Creek Farm
Dated: June 4, 2002
Mr. Edward Ernest requested that we recommend the minimum amount of road infrastructure on
his conservation subdivision application.
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.
