GORDON JAMES WALL Southold, N.Y. 11971 December 27, 1976 MINUTES TELEPHONE 765-1313 A regular meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board was held on December 27, 1976, at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Clerk's Office, Main Road, Southold, New York. Present were: John Wickham, Chairman Henry E. Raynor, Jr., Vice-Chairman Frank S. Coyle Frederick E. Gordon Absent was: James Wall - ill 7:30 p.m. - Public Hearing on the preliminary map of the subdivision known as "Property of Col. Ted Dowd". Gary Olsen, appeared. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing and presented proof of publication in the Suffolk Times. Esq. Mr. Raynor: In the file, we have the recommendations from Charles Barnett of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service. These are guidelines for vertical drainage and his recommendations for this particular subdivision. We have a report from our Town Engineer dated October 3rd to the Supt. of Highways. They are (1) that the 100' turnaround be constructed at the end of the 50' road and be shown as such on the drawings; (2) that the 12' grassed waterway as shown on the plans be disapproved. If this was done on both sides of the road, it would leave only a 26' paved area. His comment was that the park and playground area definitely does not have the 32,000 square feet of useable area. The 12' grassed waterway has been put on the subdivider's property. The 100' turnaround has been dotted in. The park and recreation area has been brought up to ~1,700 square feet. Does anyone wish to speak in opposition to this subdivision? Hearing none, does anyone wish to speak in favor? Plauning Board -2- E ember 27, 1976 Gary Olsen, Esq.: I am the attorney for the developer, Colonel Ted Dowd. As the board is aware, the subdivision has eleven lots. It includes the park and recreation area of 41,700 square feet as required by the town. The lots range in size from 40 to 60,000 square feet, all of which are within or exceed the standards of the town. It also includes a drainage system as recommended by Charles Barnett of the Soil Conservation Service which was contacted by the town for a drainage system. I think the map, as submitted, contains all of the elements as required. Accordingly, I recommend that it be approved. Mr. Raynor: Does anyone else wish to speak in favor? Is there anyone that has anything to bring to the board's attention? Mr. Coyle: I think he should file covenants and restrictions for the oversized lots. Mr. Olsen: If the town requires this, it will be done. Mr. Raynor: Is there any member of the board that would like to add anything to the hearing tonight? Mr. Coyle: Other than that, and had 120,000 square feet, lots out of this. no. If somebody bought lots 3 and they might think they can get three Mr. Wickham: Normally, we require that it be stated on the map, as well. Mr. Raynor: Does anyone else have anything to be brought before the board? Mr. Coyle made a motion, seconded by Mr. Gordon to approve the minutes of the meeting of December 6, 1976. Motion carried. Mr. Gordon made a motion, seconded by Mr. Wickham to approve the minutes of the meeting of November 15, 1976. Motion carried. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board join the New York State Planning Federation for the current year. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle, Gordon. Planning Board -3- E ember 27, 1976 The following resolution by the Town of Smithtown was presented to the Southold Town Planning Board by the Southold Town Board for recommendations. This resolution has also been adopted by the Towns of Easthampton and Brookhaven. WHEREAS, Suffolk County Resolution #731-1976 proposes that the Suffolk County Legislature shall inform the Federal Government of its intent to form an independent Suffolk-Nassau Regional Group, and WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Smithtown is in complete agreement that this proposition is in the best interest of Suffolk County and the Town of Smithtown for the following reasons contained in the Suffolk County Resolution, and WHEREAS, Suffolk County is now a member of the Tri-State Planning Region, and WHEREAS, Suffolk County as a member of the Tri-State Region is lost in such a large conglomerate, and WHEREAS, the planning problems of Suffolk County are inherently different from a metropolitan region, and WHEREAS, Long Island would win millions of dollars more in additional Federal Aid as an independent planning area, and WHEREAS, it would be in the best interest for the people of Suffolk to join Nassau to form an independent Suffolk-Nassau regional planning group, and WHEREAS, Suffolk-Nassau as an independent planning area would have better control over how the two counties, with problems not shared by the mainland areas, will develop, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Suffolk County Legislature inform the Federal Regional Council that Suffolk County desires to form an independent Suffolk-Nassau Regional Plaraning Group, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Federal Office of Management and Budget declare Suffolk and Nassau a separate region for purposes of processing Federal Aid applications, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be submitted to Governor Carey and to all Congressional delegations in Nassau and Suffolk and all New York Legislators in Nassau and Suffolk, all Town Supervisors in Nassau and Suffolk, the Nassau and Suffolk County Executives and the Nassau and Suffolk Boards of Supervisors.

Present were Frederick Ziems, Esq. and Roger Rath. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing. It was noted that the courses along Long Island Sound were missing on the map. Proof of publication was presented by the Suffolk Times. The following letter from the Highway Department of the Town of Southold, dated December 6th was read. Gentlemen: I concur with the recommendations and comments of the engineer. /s/ Raymond L. Jacobs Deputy Supt. of Highways The following recommendations under date of December 5, 1976 directed to the Supt. of Highways were made by Lawrence M. Tuthill. 1. To provide for a 15' right-of-way to the recharge basin within the 20' easement. 2. That the cuts and fills be balanced. 3. Provide piping for storm water along the full length of Road "C". As presently designed there is 2,000 if of curb water flowing at CB #6. 4. Elimination of the valley gutters at Roads "B: & "D" and install catch basins. Comments 1. Consideration be given to installing a Fire Hydrant near lot #3 on Road "D" 2. The possibility of reducing the size of the entrance to the park and recreation area at Lot #16 from 40' to 20' and increasing the useable area at the rear by adjusting Lot #16. 3. Believe that pipe in drainage should be checked for adequate size. The following letter dated December 10, 1976 from the Suffolk County Department of Planning to the Planning Board was read: Planning Board -5- L ember 27, 1976 Dear Mr. Wickham: In accordance with your request, ~he staff has examined the proposed subdivision layout for a 60.4= acre tract reputedly owned by Time Structures, Inc., and offer the following comments on the map for your use. The overall layout of the proposed subdivision is considered to be generally satisfactory. When the final map is referred to the Commission, the following information should be provided: 1. Capacity of recharge basin; i.e., storage of 5" or 8" of rainfall. 2. How access to the beach will be provided and/or restricted. 3. Whether or not any restrictions will be imposed on the shore front lots that will restrict clearing, grading, storm water runoff created by improvement and development, and removal of vegetation along the top of the bluff beyond that necessitated by proper maintenance. The Town should also consider requiring the revision of the layout of the intersection of Road "C" with Road "E". Road "C" should intersect Road "E" as close to a right angle as possible or along a radial line. Staff comments on a preliminary map do not constitute a review of the map by the Suffolk County Planning Commission. When the map has been finalized, it should be referred to the Commission for review pursuant to Section 1333 of the Suffolk County Charter. /s/ Charles G. Lind, Chief Planner Subdivision Review Section There was correspondence in the file regarding an affidavit of ownership being presented. Mr. Ziems had one with him but it did not list the owners, stockholders and officers. Mr. Wickham: We want to know who the other officers are and who owns the major portion and so forth. Mr. Raynor: We ask for stockholders, officers and directors. Fee has been presented in the amount of $350. I would like to open this hearing to anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the subdivision map for Time Structures, Inc. Hearing none, I will ask if there is anyone present that would like to speak in favor of the subdivision map. Mr. Ziems: There is a question that came up with these recommendations. We went back to Howard Young for the setbacks for the front yard and the bluff. He brought up a point to us and I would like to get Planning Board -6- D ember 27, 1976 your feeling on this. When he put it in originally, he showed concrete curbs and I understand they are not required. With the rural setting that they are trying to maintain, the sand swales would do just as well. Mr. Raynor: Concrete curbs are required but it is up to the board along with the Superintendent of Highways and the Highway Committee to give consideration to swaling areas. The burden would be up to you people. This would involve cross-sections and studies inasfaras the soil strata is concerned and we usually call in the District Conservationist for recommendations, if you feel you would like to pursue this. Mr. Ziems: It is a matter I would like to take up with Mr. Young again to see if we would like to pursue it. It is some- thing we have been thinking about. Mr. Rath: Esthetically, it looks nicer. Mr. Coyle: It is more expensive to put the swale system in. Mr. Raynor: We only have three that have used it and we got the District Conservationist for his recommendations. The substrata was extremely permeable in Paradise by the Bay. The burden is on the part of yourselves to comeup to us with this type of informa- tion. Mr. Wickham: We will support the Town Board and the Superintendent of Highways, but it really will depend on the Soil Conservationist. If he finds it practical and recommends it, you have the battle pretty well won. Mr. Raynor: You must tell us what you would like to pursue. Mr. Rath: We want to pursue it. Mr. Raynor: We will send it up to the proper agencies. Mr. Wickham: We depend onhim, also, to do the checking and the laboratory analysis of the type of fill, if you do use fill. I assume in the other subdivision the sand was of suitable quality but in some cases much of the subsoil will not be suitable and you will have to bring in some bankrun and it will have to be checked. Not only do we ask him to recommend in this case, but also be available for checking to make sure the job is done properly because if it isn't done properly it can be quickly sealed with silt. Mr. Ziems: I am wondering about the engineer's recommendations and comments. I think there is a right-of-way to the recharge basin. Mr. Raynor: It is an easement in a right-of-way. Mr. Rath: What are cuts and fills? Planning Board -7- D ember 27, 1976 Mr. Raynor: When driveways are put in, it runs to the road and you have a flooding problem. It is in our regulations that the finished grade of the roads cannot be below the lots. Mr. Wickham: Road "C" has been undercut or the same the whole length. We don't allow it. He has to raise the whole thing. We have told Howard before and we won't allow it. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else that would like to be heard favor of this subdivision map? Is there anyone here that has information that should come before this board concerning the subdivision? Hearing none, I will declare the hearing closed. in some 8:15 p.m. - Public Hearing for the map of the minor subdivision of property of D. T. and G. H. Smith, Southold. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing and presented proof of publication in the Suffolk Times. Mr. Raynor read over the file and presented the following letter from the Dept. of Environmental Conservation. Dear Mr. Smith: Pursuant to our telephone conversation of today, please be advised that our original letter dated July l, 1974 remains in effect. The only stipulation, to which you have agreed, is that there be no construction, fill or disturbance of vegetation within 50 feet of the line of mean high water. /s/ Roy L. Haje Alternate Eocal Tidal Wetland Permit Administrator Mr. Raynor: Ks this is a minor subdivision on an existing highway, there is no report from the Superintendent of Highways. The application fee has been paid. Six copies have been received with a description of the property and a fee of $20 for the filing fee. As is the board's procedure, we will ask if there is anyone present that would like to speak in opposition to the minor subdivision of G. T. and D. T. Smith. Hearing none, is there anyone that would like to speak in favor. William Smith: I am here in case any questions come up. My brother, Dan, is not available. Mr. Raynor: Is there anything else you would like to say concerning the property, Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith: I don't think so. Planning Board -8- L ember 27, 1976 Mr. Raynor: This is something that has been before the board for three years. Is there anyone present that has something they would like to say concerning this particular subdivision in Southold? Mr. Coyle: There should be a notation on the map that there will be no further subdivision of these lots. There was some discussion between Mr. Smith and the Planning Board and he was asked to submit maps showing 200 feet around the perimeter of the property and extending the right-of-way to get 150 feet in addition to the location he has already shown. Mr. Smith indicated he knew what they were asking for. 8:30 p.m. Public Hearing on the map of the minor subdivision of property of Phyllis E. Hale in Orient. Irving L. Price, Jr., Esq., William Price, Jr.,~ Esq., Phyllis Hale were present. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing and presented proof of publication from the Suffolk Times. Mr. Raynor: In the file, I have a description of the property, deeds to lots and a declaration. There is no recommendation from the Superintendent of Highways. There is a letter from Lawrence M. Tuthill, P. E. dated December 16, 1976. Dear Mr. Wickham: I recommend that a 24 foot wide road be constructed the full length of the common right-of-way from lots No. i to the Main Road in accordance with the Town Highway Specifications, except that curbs be omitted. This being for the safety, health and welfare of the future owners. /s/ Lawrence M. Tuthill I would like to open the hearing to anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the minor subdivision of Phyllis E. Hale in Orient. Hearing none, I would like to open the hearing to anyone that would like to speak in favor of the minor subdivision of Phyllis E. Hale. Irving L. Price, Jr., Esq.: I can add nothing to what's been discussed to some extent over the past. We have complied with every request, we believe. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else that would like to speak in favor? If not, is there anyone that would like to give information to this board? Mrs. Lyndal Brandeis: What is this road that Mr. Tuthill mentioned. Mr. Raynor: He recommends a 24 foot wide road be constructed along the common right-of-way. Mrs. Brandeis: I would like to see where that road is. Planning Board -9- L .ember 27, 1976 Mr. Raynor showed the road to her on the map. Is there anyone else that has any questions? Ms. Ann Mackay: Was the~ any linkage with this with the proposed east-west road? Mr. Raynor showed her where it is proposed to go for possible future dedication to the Town of Southold. Ms. Cynthia Beer: On thisroad in the proposed, the reason we are here is because it seems to go right through our house. Mr. Raynor: There is nothing built on this lot. Ms. Beer: That is the only proposed east-west? Mr. Raynor: It is the only proposed right-of-way on this property. Are there any other questions concerning this subdivision this evening? Mr. Price: Are you taking up Lawrence Tuthill's recommendation? Mr. Raynor: We are certainly going to consider it. Mr. Price: I think it is unfair to bring it in at this late stage. Mr. Wickham: It might be in order to discuss what some of the possibilities are before we get too far. I think in the past it has been usual that the building inspector approves access or he gives an offhand opinion as to what he would consider approved access. Up until this time, it has never meant a paved road. I think this board has had some complaints about the condition of the road as it exists. We would feel it would be in order to make some improvements on the existing road. In the past, we have not really been the one who said what constituted an approved access. It has been the building inspector. As far as I know, the board has never required, with one exception, that I know of, a paved road. This letter of Larry Tuthill's does not say a paved road. It says town specifications and town specifications depend on whether it is the specifications of the building inspector for approval of access, or whether, in fact, he means Town Highway Specifications. Mr. Raynor: It is in the rules and regulations of the Planning Board in consulting with the engineer, to see what they deem a proper waiver in any of these subdivisions. I just have one question. Do the applicants hold title to the property on which the road is presently? Mrs. Hale: This is owned by Mrs. Hughes and myself. I have a paper that had the upkeep of this road. He sold the land. Mr. Raynor: You and Mrs. Hughes own it and pay taxes on it? Mrs. Hale: Yes. Planning Board -10- £ Ember 27, 1976 Mrs. Hale made a comment that the o~ners of the property of the minor subdivision of Clausen were obligated to do their share in the upkeep of the road. Mr. Raynor: Is there any reason you couldn't get a copy to the board for their review? Mr. Price: A 24 foot road when Narrow River is only 18 foot and all the way to the Main Road. I think that is asking too much, especially at this late time. It would be bad enough if something came up about extensive requirements about the subdivision itself. We give in to that and what's next? Mrs. Hale: You said someone objected to the condition of the road. Could I hear who that was? Mr. Wickham: We don't normally divulge that. Mr. Coyle: I don't see what bearing that has. These people should possibly have part of paying for that. Mr. Wickham: We usually send a team out to investigate these things. The report we had is that the road today is in terrible condition. Some improvement is in order. I think it is fair to say that some improvement is in order. Mrs. Hale: There is probably a misunderstanding. I never had anything to do with that land. We haven't gotten any further because we are waiting for this. It doesn't seem quite fair. seems it should be separate from this. It Mr. Raynor: Is there any other comment for this particular subdivision? Hearing none, I will deem this hearing closed. 9:00 p.m. Public Hearing on the map of the minor subdivision of property of Barbara E. Hughes in Orient. Irving L. Price, Jr., Esq., William Price, Jr., Esq., Phyllis Hale were present. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing and presented proof of publication in the Suffolk Times. He checked through the file. Mr. Raynor: It is not on the Town Highway so there is no recommendation from the Town Highway Department. The following letter is in the file from Lawrence M. Tuthill. Dear Mr. Wickham: I recommend that a 24 foot wide road be constructed the full length of the common right-of-way from lots No. i to the Main Road in accordance with the Town Highway Specifications, except that curbs be omitted. This being for the safety, health and welfare of the future owners. /s/ Lawrence M. Tuthill Planning Board -11- L ember 27, 1976 Mr. Haynor: As is the board's policy, is there anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the minor subdivision of Barbara P. Hughes at Orient? Hearing none, I would ask if there is anyone present that would like to speak in favor? Irving L. Price, Jr., Esq.: For the applicant. For the record, I would like to state that we have complied with every request of the Planning Board. Everyone is growing older. We felt eventually, if they were ever going to enjoy the home on the Sound, we would have to concede to things. I would like to point out that someone that alleges that he is a P. E. and writes a letter and states it if for the good of the public or the language he uses and there is no showing or any facts in which he justifies or bases that opinion and I would also like to state that it is the applicant's opinion that it is discriminatory and has never been asked for before. It is late. No one has had the opportunity to investigate that. It is a gerimander sprung on us at the last minute. We object and feel the letter should have no bearing on this application. Mr. Raynor: Is there anyone else that would like to speak in favor of this subdivision? Hearing none, is there anyone that has any information that should come before this board at this time for this subdivision? Hearing none, have any of the board members any questions? Mr. Coyle: As we spoke before, I still do not feel, I think it should be brought up to some type of useable surface. If it is going to be expensive, I think these people should be allowed to pay and share, by request. Mr. Wickham: I think we would like very much to see that indenture or whatever it is. I note that on both maps there is a legend that no lot shown to be further subdivided. In addition to this, we normally require that a covenant be given. Irving L. Price, Jr., Esq.: It has been given. We have complied with everything to the best of our ability. If we haven't, it has been overlooked. Mr. Raynor: It is within the board's power to reserve decision. If you were given a reasonable length of time, do you have things you would like to present to this board? Mr. Price: No, I think I have laid the groundwork for any type of appeal. Mrs. Hale: Is that 24 foot required for any minor subdivision? Mr. Wickham: The building inspector usually prescribes what he feels it should be dependent upon the number of homes being served by the minor, not by the minor but that access. In this case, there are eight and some more down here. You are up around twelve or so. It depends on the number of homes that are served. Planning Board -12- L ,ember 27, 1976 Mrs. Hale: King's Street has so many houses and we all make it. Mr. Wickham: He usually, in most cases, is the final authority. Mr. Raynor: In minor subdivisions, the width can go anywhere from 25 to 50 feet. Mr. Price: Tuthill is talking about paving. Mr. Raynor: Her question was in regard to the right-of-way. Ms. Beer: What's the 50 feet that you have been talking about? Mr. Raynor: We were just speaking of the feet width that have been utilized for subdivision purposes. How much the building inspector has asked for, road and right-of-way to be made. Ms. Beer: When this came up last year, there was talk of an east-west road going from Young's Road to I don't know where. Mr. Wickham: There has been a lot of misuuuderstanding about this. The town specifications require that any lot which is to be used, dedicated to the Town of Southold, must have a 50 foot right-of- way. This is why we say 50 feet except for approved access for minor subdivisions which may have less but it has never been proposed that we have a fifty foot road going the length of Orient north of Route 25. What has been proposed is that each development, as presented, some reservation be made for the possibility of such a road many years from now. We feel there has been a lot of lack of comm~zaication or misunderstanding. It is just that we want you to know that we are not trying to push anything down anyone's throat but we are trying to make provision for the future and I hope people understand. Mr. Raynor: Anything else? Hearing none, I will declare the hearing closed. A gentleman with the name of Leonard Dike attended the entire meeting and wanted general information about establishing an old- fashioned farm with a mixture of livestock and farming which he would want to establish as a business for people to pay to see. He wanted to know if he would have to get a change of zone or what and Mr. Wickham agreed to meet with him privately about it. Gunther Morchel site plan. The board reviewed the site plan of Gunther Morchel who has applied to the building department for a building permit to add a second story to his existing building. Site plan is required from the Planning Board when a change is being made to existing business property. Planning Board -13- D~ ~mber 27, 1976 It was determined that sufficient parking has been provided for the existing building and the addition thereto and was suggested that parking be on the diagonal along Sigsbee Road because the width is not adequate for longer cars. The parking area should be covered with a dustfree hardened surface to the specifications of the building department. It will be necessary to present a planting schedule and an exterior lighting schedule. Ingress and egress should be restricted on the Main Road. There should be shrubs between the Old Main Road and the new building and shrubs between Route 25 and the Old Main Road. There should be ingress and egress from Sigsbee Road only. G.wynne Construction Co. site plan. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Coyle, it was RESOLVED to approve the site plan of Gwynne Construction Corporation (Circa Designs) dated November 1976 and revised December 9, 1976 subject to the following conditions: 1. A polyethylene lining be placed under the wood chips. 2. The Planning Board will make a two-year review of this property. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle, Gordon Jack Levin addition to Soundview Restaurant site plan. The Planning Board is waiting to hear from the Police Department but feel that an addition such as this poses a safety problem and the additional parking requirements also pose a problem. Both of these are involved in site plan approval. The Board will wait until they see what restrictions will be imposed by the Police Department, Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Conservation and Board of Appeals. Shackman subdivision. Mr. Raynor has talked to the Town Attorney, Robert Tasker, but has not as yet received a determination from him as to the mixing of residential and business property in a subdivision. This property is zoned Business on the Main Road and the property to the rear is agricultural-residential. Planning Board -14- L ~ember 27, 1976 Simon minor subdivision. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED to approve the minor subdivision of property of the Estate of Charles J. Simon, subject to the following: 1. Maps be amended to show property owners within 200 feet of the perimeter of the property. 2. Spot elevations be shown on the map. 3. Recommendations of the County Department of Planning. 4. An additional pool be installed to connect to the existing catch basin on Wells Road. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle, Gordon Centennial Manor - Luglio and others. On motion made by Mr. Raynor, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED to approve the preliminary map of the owned by Luglio and others named "Centennial Manor", dated November 4, 1976, subject to the following: subdivision said map 1. Recommendations of the Suffolk County Department of Planning. 2. The recharge basin be made rectangular. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Wickham, Raynor, Coyle, Gordon Greenbriar Acres. The Chairman directed the secretary to contact Richard Cron, Esq., attorney for the developer, Werner Adel, Jr. and inform him that no action was taken on the County recommendations on this subdivision because the Planning Board was unable to get a majority plus one to over-ride the County recommendations. Mr. Raynor will not vote on this because he is in partners with the owner of the adjoining property and feels it would be a conflict. Motion was made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon and carried to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Mur i~e~Bru~, Secretary ~~-~~, hairman
