Comments regarding resolution 382
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I have to say a previous Town Board passed this law to make this
happen with the transfer of the sanitary flow credits and this is, I would like to give them credit
for passing, for having the foresight to pass that and thanks to the applicant for creating
affordable apartments in that location that is zoned for high density. So I think it is an
appropriate use of the town code.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I also would mention that the applicant actually has probably almost
single handedly restored that whole commercial corridor in Mattituck, the preservation of the
Glenwood building, the preservation of the current office and then of course, this house which is
right across the street.

VI. Public Hearings
PH 4/24/12 ~ 4:32 PM SFC Transfer Appl.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town
of Southold will hold a public hearing on the Application of 13200 Main Road Corp. for
transfer of sanitary, flow credits at the Southold Town Hall~ 53095 Main Road~ Southold~
New Yorlq on the 24th day of April~ 2012 at 4:32 p.m, at which time all interested persons
will be given an opportunity to be heard. The applicant has requested the transfer of sanitary
flow credits in order to allow three accessory apartments at 13200 Main Road, Mattituck, New
York 11952.
The proposed application that is the subject of this aftemoon's public hearing contains the
following documentation and information from the Town Clerk's record: Notice that it was
posted on April 12, 2012 in the Suffolk Times, notice that it was posted on the Town Clerk's
bulletin board on April 2, 2012. A letter from Donald Wilcenski, chairman of the Planning
Board "Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the referenced application. The
Planning Board has reviewed the application and supports the proposal." From chief building
inapector Michael Verity, "Requirements for transfer of development rights and certification, all
buildings and uses shall comply with chapters 144 and 280 of the Southold Town code and the
proposed use multiple dwelling is a permitted use in this HB district and is so certified." We
have a letter in support from Mattituck Commons LLC, "This letter is to inform you that
Mattituck Commons LLC has no objection to the proposed application for obtaining Health
Department approval for three apartments for SCTM#1000-114.-11-9.1 property address 13200
Main Road Mattituck, NY 11952" And that is all we have.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
WILLIAM GOGGINS: Good evening, William Goggins on behalf of the applicant. I am
looking through the agenda and there is a whereas that states that the applicant modify this
application to seek the transfer of up to two credits. That amendment was never done. We asked
for two credits. About an hour ago, the Town Attorney contacted me and said I should ask for
up to two credits and that is not really what the application is for, it's an application for two
credits and that is what the application is for. I am not really sure why the Town Attorney asked
me to change it to up to two credits but that is not what I want to do and that is not the
application. We made an application to the Health Department based upon the engineer's
calculations. Those calculations indicated we needed two sanitary flow credits and that is what
we are applying for. I am not really sure why the Town Attorney is asking that it be up to two
but that is certainly not my amendment and that was something that was placed in by the Town
Attorney. So that is the only comment I have.
April 24, 2012 Page 45
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Well, as we discussed, Mark Terry reviewed it. Based on
his calculations, he wasn't sure that you would actually need the full two credits and it was really
for your benefit as the applicant because if you don't need two credits, you buy two credits, if
you need the two, under this resolution the Town Board would authorize you to get the two. If
you don't need the two, what you would do is, whatever you need certify that and that is all you
buy. If you want to buy two, we can modify the resolution and pay for two and take them.
MR. GOGGINS: That is what I would like to do, I would like to buy two.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Okay. It gives you the ....
MR. GOGGINS: No, I understand but I don't want to have any problems in the future because
of the way this is worded. I would rather buy two and that way I don't have any issues with the
Health Department. If that is acceptable to the Board.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. This is just a modest modification, we don't need to re-notice
thiis, fight? W
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: No.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are going to seek transfer of two credits to create...yes, okay.
MR. GOGGINS: Thank you.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Yes, it is in the whereas, we can amend it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
particular local law?
PATRICIA MOORE: I am not opposed or anything. Just for clarification, there are three
apartments and how many are affordable?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If he is transferring two credits, utilizing both credits, then that
would create two affordable units.
MS. MOORE: Okay. Inaudible.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: He is free to make a third affordable if he wants. His requirement
under the Sanitary Flow Program is to make affordable the number of units...
MS. MOORE: That he gets the credit for. Okay.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: We just don't have that calculation yet. Bill, can you wait
two weeks for this resolution? Or is that going to mess you up with the Health Department?

and LWRP coordinator. "The proposed action has been reviewed to New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation regulation 6NYCCRR part 617 state environmental
quality review and it is my determination that the pursuant to part 617.5 C27, the action as
proposed is a Type II action and therefore not subject to SEQRA review." I have a letter from
Andrew Freleng, chief planner Suffolk County, "Pursuant to the requirements of section Al4-14
through A 14-25 of the Suffolk County Administrative code, the above referenced application
which has been submitted to the Suffolk County Planning Commission is considered to be a
matter for local determination as there is no apparent significant countywide or intercommunity
impact. A decision of local determination shall not be construed either an approval or a
disapproval." And again, from Mark Terry LWRP coordinator, "The proposed local law has
been reviewed to Chapter 268 Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town Code and the LWRP
policy standards. Based upon the information provided to this department as well as the records
available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is consistent with the LWRP
policy standards and therefore is consistent with the LWRP. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Town
Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its written determination regarding the
consistency of the proposed action." And that is it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment on this local law?
PATRICIA MOORE: Good evening, Patricia Moore on behalf of myself. I have been
following, through code committee, your progress through this and thank you, I know that it has
been very difficult and admirable for you guys to keep trying to clean up this law that has created
a problem for many of the boards and owners in this town. Two comments that I would have,
the first one being alteration definition. I am just going to focus on just the definitions, the rest I
really have no comment to. The alteration, you say a change of modification made in or on an
existing building or structure that does not increase exterior dimensions. I understand and I think
that the intention is well, the house is staying the same, we are doing alterations that may be
interior or they may be window replacements or things that really don't change the size. I might
add that that definition should also be applicable if the alterations that are being done may
technically change the dimensions because of the state building code that may require ceiling
heights. I have had lots of applications to the Zoning Board where it is a two story house but
that is non-conforming. We are dealing really with non-conformity because otherwise you can
do it but let's say you have a side yard setback that is not conforming, you have the two story
house but it is the second floor has ceiling heights that may be 6 ½ feet and the roof pitch has to
change to make the ceiling height 7 feet or whatever the code, 7 ½ feet, whatever the code
requires. That small change to the roof pitch, even though you are not changing the over all
dimensions and size of the house, triggers the need for a variance and would be nice if that was
not the case. It also may be applicable with FEMA for example, some of the communities, the
height of the building may change by 3 inches or a foot because of the FEMA regulations. As
soon as you do interior alterations, even though they are interior, they trigger the need to
conform to FEMA regulations. So you may have those alterations that are interior and for the
most part don't change the structure but trigger the need to have the basement conform and
sometimes you have to fill in a basement with sand to comply with FEMA and sometimes you
have to raise the foundation by a few inches to a foot to conform with FEMA. Those are the
kind of issues that often are expensive and time consuming to go and get variances because of
Page 53
April 24, 2012
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
that increase to the degree of non-conformity that we use on the non-conforming definition. So I
would ask that maybe you put either in parentheses or clarify at the end of that definition, except
as required by FEMA or state building code because it is really not a dimensional that anybody
really wants to do, it's that it triggers another provision of the state code.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: How about if we change to either exterior footprint or just
footprint?
MS. MOORE: Oh, that is fine. I think that would cover it, too. But that might be a significant
change ....
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Well, your example though, Pat, I mean obviously there is
a certain amount of modification that can be made, there is percentage increase that could be
done without a variance, so .....
MS. MOORE: No, there isn't a percentage.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Inaudible. An increase in the ....
MS. MOORE: That is why the (inaudible) decision, if you end up with a 1 percent, that is what
triggers.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: (Inaudible) decision is an issue this Board has to address but I don't
think we can keep softening language and code because of (inaudible), we either have to face it
head on ....
MS. MOORE: Well then that would be, then I would ask that you deal with that because it is, it
used to be that if you maintained the setback, you could go horizontally up (inaudible) came in
and said, no you can't do that and we did try to do a pyramid law at one point in time and that
was rejected by the community or opposition, so I don't, you know, this doesn't quite do it but if
you tackle (inaudible), that is really the crux of the problem.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Okay.
MS. MOORE: The other issue is on demolition, great, 75 percent is certainly a good number but
could you clarify, I guess in my, so I understand what you are considering, 75 percent of the total
square footage of the existing structure before the start of removal. So let me give you two
scenarios and you tell me which one you are thinking. You have a first floor of 1,000 square
feet, a second floor of 1,000 square feet. Are you taking 75 percent of the total square foot of the
two floors, that being 75 percent of 2,000 square feet or are you looking at the footprint and you
are doing 75 percent of the footprint? From code committee, I really don't know where you
ended up and I am not sure that this tells me clearly how I am supposed to analyze this.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: It should be 75 percent of the entire structure.
April 24, 2012 Page 54
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
MS. MOORE: First floor, second floor.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Yes.
MS. MOORE: Okay, okay. That is fine. I mean it says here the existing structure, I was just
making sure that when I read it that that's the intent. Ten years down the line, all of a sudden
intents changes, so I will have the record of this public heating that says, oh, no it says that it is
the square footage of all the floors. First and second, usually basement doesn't count, correct?
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: All habitable floors ....
MS. MOORE: Habitable floors, yeah, a basement doesn't usually count. You are the building
inspector in the crowd, so I know you have the fight answers.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: And one thing regarding your height...
MS. MOORE: On the alteration issue?
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Yeah, the state code dropped from 7 foot 6 down to 7 foot required
in height which is typically the norm across the country and they came into line with that, so it
actually reduced minimum height requirements which should make it a little bit easier for
people.
MS. MOORE: Good. Yeah. I am usually dealing with 6 ½ foot ceilings that all of a sudden
need to go to 7. So it is not a real big jump but it is just the (inaudible) brings you into the
Zoning Board, I had one that was a simple little, what are those called, knee walls? And that
triggered Zoning Board. Okay. That is all I have. I just needed clarification. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
particular local law? (No response)
