GORDON JAMES WALL Southold, N.Y. 11971 MINUTES TELEPHONE A regular meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board was held August 17, 1977 at 12:30 p.m. at the Fishers Island School, Fishers Island, New York. Present were: Henry E. Raynor, Jr., Vice-Chairman Frank S. Coyle Frederick E. Gordon James Wall On motion made by Mr. Gordon, seconded by Mr. Wall, it was RESOLVED to grant sketch plan approval to the map of property of Thomas O. and Regina S. Pyle to be known as "Hay Harbor Hills", located at Fishers Island, New York. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Raynor, Coyle, Gordon, Wall 12:30 p.m. Public Hearing on the minor subdivision of property of Hay Harbor Hills, owned by Thomas O. and Regina S. Pyle. Mr. Raynor: Before reading the description, I have a letter from the attorney representing the developers. Southold Town Planning Board: Pursuant to the request of the Secretary of the Board, this is to advise that the metes and bounds description furnished to you are the metes and bounds description prepared by the Title Guarantee Company under Title No. 1295453, which is the metes and bounds description of subject premises guaranteed by said company. The Title Guarantee Company survey runs clockwise, whereas the surveyor made the map counter-clockwise. Depending on whether you are reading the map clockwise or counter-clockwise, each of the courses will reverse; in other words, on the very first course of the description which runs North 45 degrees 06 minutes 40 seconds Planning Board -2- August 17, 1977 East, the survey will show South 45 degrees 06 minutes 40 seconds West. This is exactly the same course only in one instance you are running in a Northeasterly direction, and in the other you are running in a Southwesterly direction. I trust that this will clear up any confusion that you may have with regard to this description and map, and certainly any engineer or surveyor will assure you that both are correct and are exactly the same. Philip B. Matthews (unsigned) Mr. Raynor: A letter should be sent from the Board to Matthews and Ostrander stating that the map should be amended to accurately reflect the legal notice that was posted. Mr. Raynor read the legal notice of the hearing and presented proof of publication from the Suffolk Times and the Day which were duly notarized. Mr. Raynor went over the checklist. Mr. Raynor: There are no highways to be constructed, therefore, there will be no report from the Superintendent of Highways or the engineer. As is the procedure with the board, is there anyone present this afternoon that would like to speak in opposition to the subdivision "Hay Harbor Hills". Hearing none, is there anyone that would like to speak in favor of the subdivision "Hay Harbor Hills". Hearing none, is there any member of the board that has anything that should be brought up in the public hearing. Mr. Wall: I would like to know about the existing right-of-way along the edge of the bank. Mr. Raynor: There aren't any contour elevations. This will be a requirement of the County. The name has to be corrected and 100 foot setbacks will be required. The provisions of AlO6-41A(3) of the Code of the Town of Southold will have to be met. Is there anyone else wishing to be heard. Hearing none, I will declare the hearing closed. 12:45 p.m. Public Hearing on the minor subdivision of property owned by Alice S. Sturges. Mr. Sturges appeared. Mr. Raynor read the legal notice of hearing and presented proof of publication from the Suffolk Times and the Day which were duly notarized. Mr. Raynor went over the file and the checklist. Mr. Raynor: There will be no highway construction involved in the development of this property. Therefore, there will be no report of the Superintendent of Highways or the town engineer. As is the policy of this board, we will ask if there is anyone present that would like to speak in opposition to this subdivision. Hearing none, I would ask if there is anyone present that would like to speak in favor of this subdivision. Planning Board -3- August 17, 1977 Mr. Sturges: The only purpose of this subdivision is to provide the purchaser of our house with a little more room to the west. We owned four lots. We agreed that we would give about 75 feet further west which would protect him somewhat. That is the only reason that we had for seeking approval. Mr. Raynor: I see one small problem. You have one with the house to be sold to Gaston. In order to process it, it has to be on the sole name of the owner. It will have to be modified. Mr. Sturges: I think his purpose was to use this office survey for conveyance purposes, too. Mr. Raynor: We have been down and looked at the property and would all like to buy it. Mr. Sturges: Where we are thinking of building is an even nicer house site than we have now. It sticks out south a little bit further. Mr. Raynor: It is a beautiful location. Mr. Sturges: We have enjoyed the house but we don't need it any more as our family is grown. Mr. Coyle: I don't see that either lot is numbered. Mr. Raynor: Erase the old numbers and make one lot number one and one lot number two. It simplifies the filing. Mr. Gordon: There should be covenants. Mr. Raynor: We have a standard format for covenants and restrictions. This would stop any further subdivision on the property. It is treated this way because it is not a major subdivision. For this type of consideration, we restrict the type of development to one house per lot as laid out. Mrs. Brush will forward the necessary papers. Do you have anything else you care to tell us. Mr. Sturges: Can you approve this subject to receiving the filing copy? Mr. Raynor: The Suffolk County Planning Department must review the map before it can go any further. We couldn't approve it today primarily because of the other bodies involved. If there is nothing else, we will declare the hearing closed. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon and carried the meeting was adjourned. Meeting adjourned at l:lO p.m.
