Present were: John Wickham, Chairman Henry Raynor, Vice-Chairman Frank S. Coyle Frederick Gordon Alfred Grebe Peter Campbell, The Suffolk Times Sherley Katz, Long Island Traveler - Watchman Shirley Bachrach, League of Women Voters Mr. Wickham opened the meeting for a public hearing on the map of the minor subdivision of ~obert T. Bayley at Southold, New York. Mr. Raynor read the Notice of Hearing and presented proofs of publication from the Long Island Traveler - Watchman and the Suffolk Times. Mr. Robert T. Bayley and Rudolph Bruer, Esq., appeared. Mr. Wickham: We have the following copy of a letter from the DEC. June 1, 1976 Dear Mr. Bruer: Since the property shown on the subject survey is all at or higher than l0 ft. above mean sea level, no approval is required under the Moratorium Regulation of the State Tidal Wetlands Law. /s/ Daniel J. Larkin Planning Board -2- June 21, 1976 Mr. Bruer: After I got that letter, I went down personally. He called me the next day and that happens to be fresh water and the requirement for fresh water is one hundred feet. There is a survey in the file showing that the subject property is over 200 feet from Great Pond. Mr. Wickham: anyway. The ten feet above sea level is not on the moratorium Mr. Bayley: What would happen if the property was under l0 feet? Mr. Wickham: They generally approve but if there is any building, you have to apply for a permit for permission for each lot. The permit procedure is very involved. Mr. Bruer: They pointed out that with the subdivision, under the temporary law no application is necessary to be made to them, but after it is permanent this fall, they will have jurisdiction over subdivisions. That is another stipulation. Mr. Wickham: We have attended all the meetings and there will be more. If they are assured that the Town is protecting that interest, they will delegate that authority to us. We have had a wetlands ordinance for five years before the State. There will be more hearings in July. Mr. Wickham: I have a receipt for the application fee. Mr. Bruer: I have the original covenants and it is my understanding that you want it when it is recorded. It is executed if the Board wants to examine it. Mr. Wickham read over the proposed covenants and they were changed and initialled from "an area of not less than 40,000 square feet" to read "an area of not less than 3 acres". Mr. Wickham: There is a letter here to the attorney about the proposed road. There is a question as to the property. Who owns it? (talking about adjacent property) Mr. Bruer: Mrs. Bayley in her own name. If you want we can have Mr. Bayley, under oath, say as to who owns it. Mr. Wickham: It says they are both owners of the property. They are both owners of this and fee owners of that. Mr. Bruer: They are under single and separate ownership. They were bought separately. Mr. Wickham: If they were bought separately, it is alright. Mr. Bayley: They were bought three years apart. Planning Board -3- June 21, 1976 Mr. Bruer: There was one other complaint last time that had to do with the curb cut. The Department of Public Works, who are down by the Honor Farm in Yaphank, Mr. Edwards said he didn't want to hear from me until such time as we were going to put it in there. They require a bond and it is good for sixty days and if you d~n't do it, it is forfeited. He said the only recommendation might be that #3 and #4, the opening on to Middle Road have one opening and that there not be two separate openings. Mr. Wickham: Sketch plan approval was given on May 3rd. There is a note that all facilities will be designed to meet Suffolk County Health Department. Mr. Raynor: I am sure the County in their review will make a notation on lot 4 that access will have to be maintained in the right-of-way. Mr. Wickham: At this time, I will call for anyone that wishes to be heard in opposition to this subdivision. Hearing none, is there anyone that would like to speak in favor of it? Mr. Bruer: We have discussed this on many occasions. I can only repeat what I said already and request that the board approve the minor subdivision as submitted. Mr. Wickham: If there is nothing else, I will declare the hearing closed. Myron & Philip Finkle change of zone application. Mr. Bruer requested that the Board make some kind of recommendation on what they know about the premises. There was considerable discussion regarding the fact that these people have been before the Board of Appeals on two occasions. On the first, a request for a coffee shop was denied. On the second, a request for a take-out deli was denied with the recommendation from the Board of Appeals that they apply for a change of zone. Riverside Homes. Heritage Harbor subdivision. Mr. Wandoloski and Michael Hills, Esq. appeared. When asked if they owned the right-of-way, the answer was in the affirmative. The dogleg from lot #2 was so the owner could get to the park & playground without going on the highway. Mr. Raynor mentioned that anything more than 1200 feet will need cross-circulation, but the right-of-way goes nowhere. Planning Board -4- June 21, 1976 Marie Cassidy minor subdivision. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cassidy appeared. The property on the map which says "Andrew Cassidy and others" belongs to Andrew, his sister and two nephews. This property has been in the name of Marie Cassidy since 1973. The jib on the western half of the property belongs to the farm. The Planning Board would like to go down and look at the property. They may have to redesign the subdivision and make lot #4 bigger to allow for the low area. J. Parker Wickham. Mr. & Mrs. Wickham and Robert Tooker, Esq. appeared. This was a referral from the Board of Appeals. They are making an attempt to divide the property with existing bungalows. It vas suggested that the right-of-way be extinguished and exchanged for the existing right-of-way. Dawn Estates. Mr. and Mrs. Kaplan appeared. There is street water and the roads are owned by the Crescent Beach Association. The land to the east is owned by Mr. Kaplan's wife and his brother's wife. It was bought subsequent to this property. There are no immediate plans for the property to the north. Mr. Wickham informed Mr. Kaplan that all the property must be considered for a minor subdivision. There was a question of cross-circulation as there is about 1200 feet of road here.

Gentlemen: In regards to the property at Goose Creek, on North Road to Planning Board -8- June 21, 1976 Bayview, on map of minor subdivision, shown as lots numbered 4 and 5. If it meets with your approval my brother, G. H~ Smith and myself who are the owners of this property, would like to use this property as one single lot, with the following stipulations: that we have permission to sell to the adjoining owner Mr. Howard Brown a small portion to enlarge his property, approximately 20' to 30' leaving a 20' or 30' right of way to the one lot, also removing the restriction that we have to have public water. Thanking you for your consideration in this matter, I am /s/ Daniel T. Smith The Planning Board is in agreement with the above proposals. On motion made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon, it was RESOLVED to approve the revised map of Kampgrounds of America dated June 19, 1976 as presented with the exception that the lot protruding into the parking lot be converted to additional parking which will reduce the total number of sites to 73 as shown on map and initialled. The Planning Board would suggest that the pool and recreational structures should be north of the administration building. In the opinion of the Planning Board, the 600 foot depth of the buffer zone has been reconsidered and has been found to be inconsistent with the shape and use of the property. Therefore, we feel 325 feet is sufficient for a buffer zone. In our opinion, these changes should be made for Section 2.

Motion was made by Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Gordon and carried that the meeting be adjourned.
