There were present: Messrs: Henry Moisa, Vice Chairman;
Henry Raynor; Frank S. Coyle; Alfred Grebe.
Also present: Mr. and Mrs. Philip R. Marriner, Mrs. Jean
Tiedke, Mrs. Lorraine Terry.
Vice Chairman Henry Moisa called the meeting to order
for the hea~ing for final approval of map of property known
as Little Neck Properties, owned by P. J. Ventures.
Mr~ Henry Raynor read the legal notice of hearing, as

November 15, 1973
Plat of property owned by P. J. Ventures, entitled
Little Neck Properties, consisting of a parcel of land
situated at East Cutchogue, in the Town of Southold, County
of Suffolk, and State of New York.
Any person desiring to be heard on the above matter
should appear at the-time and place above specified.
Dated: November 1, 1973
BY ORDER OF THE SOUTHOLD TOB~
PLanNING BOARD
JOHN WICKH~, CHAIRMAN"
Mr. Raynor also read the affidavits of publication in
the Suffolk Times and the Long Island Traveler-Mattituck
Watchman.
F~-. MOISA: A description of the property was read at
the preliminary hearing.
Robert Tooker, Esq., representing Little Neck Properties,
stated that Mr. Tasker, the Town Attorney, had asked for two
changes of Covenants and Restrictions, pages 7 and 9. On
Page 7 (c) he requested that we include "These expenses shall
include maintenance charges". On Page 9 the second sentence
under (N) has been taken out as Mr. Tasker was fearful that
it meant we could add something. (Mr. Tooker presented the
Secretary with. new pages 7 and 9 to replace the existing ones).
Mr. Moisa read letter from the Superintendent of Highways,
as follows:
"I have inspected the map lay-out of LITTLE NECK PROPERTIES
and recommend that ample drainage will be made on building lots
abutting town roads."
Mr. Moisa also read letter from the Southold Town Board,
as follows:
"At the Town Bcard meeting, August 16, 1973, the members
of the Southold Town. Board studied the sketch plan of cluster
development for East Cutchogue, Little Neck Properties.
After the members had had an opportunity to study the plans
they felt that they liked it, the concept, of this plan for
Little Neck Properties, East Cutchogue.
(Signed) Albert M. Martocchia
Supervisor"

It was noted that in the file there is a bond estimate in the
amount of $15,000. Mr. Tooker said that that is from a previous
plan because there are no roads to be constructed on this one.
That was estimated before we went to the cluster concept.
Mr. Tooker said that when he was at a previous meeting he
told the Board that a letter was coming from Mr. Colvin. The
letter never came so I sent somebody to Stony Brook yesterday
and picked up the letter. I will now give you a copy of the
letter. They are really not interested in the matter because
we are more than 300 feet from wetlands. We are within a 100
feet or so of a very long creek. There are several houses on
the road between us and the creek. (Mr. Moisa read the letter
from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation,
addressed to Robert L. Tooker, Esq., dated November 14, 1973,
as follows:)
"Re: Little Neck Properties, East Cutchogue, New York
Reference is made to your request for information regarding
requirements of the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation with. respect to the construction of homes on the
above subdivision. An inspection of U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Chart No. 363 reve&ls that all proposed lots are more than
300 feet from any tidal wetland. Therefore, in accordance
with 6 NYCRR, Part 660.1 (i) (4), no permit will be required
from the Department of Environmental Conservation for the
construction of these homes pursuant to Environmental Con-
servation Law, Article 25.
(Signed) Gordon C. Colvin
Alternate Local
Permit Agent"
MR. HENRY MOISA~ Vice Chairman: I believe all the required
data ms includedl We.will open the hearing to anyone who wishes
to speak against this subdivision.
MRS'. JEAN TIEDKE: May I ask a question? Who are the owners?
ROBERT TOOKER, ESQ.: Mr. JM~es F. Reeve has one half, and
my wife has the other half. It's Margaret Tooker and James Reeve.
MR. MOISA: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against the approval of this subdivision?

MR. MOISA: Hearing no opposition, I now ask if there is
anyone present who wishes to speak in favor of the subdivision?
ROBERT TOOKER, ESQ: I would like to express my appreciation
to the Board for all the patience you have shown. I think it
is a good concept which you will probably expand on in the years
ahead. We are pleased to lead the way in clusters. I believe
it will not only be good for the people in the subdivision
but the people next door will benefit by more comfortable back-
yards.
MR. HENRY MOISA: I believe this will be beneficial and
puts a foot in the front door as regards clustering. There has
been some good word from the County level regarding clustering.
I think we will be able to proceed in the future on this type
of development.
MR. MOISA: Does anyone else wish to speak?
MR. MOISA: Hearing no reply, I will declare the hearing
closed.
Mr. Tooker asked when the maps would be signed so they could
file them and make their arrangements for building. Mr. Moisa
stated that the Board would come to a decision later on in the
evening.
Vice Chairman Henry Moisa called the hearing to order for
preliminary approval of map of property known as Inlet East Estates,
owned by Donald A. Denis, William W. Esseks, and Bennett Stark.
Mr. Henry Raynor read the legal notice of hearing, as follows:

Mr. Henry Raynor also read the affidavits of publication
in the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler-
Mattituck Watchman.
MR. HENRY RAYNOR: There is a letter from Mr. Edward J.
Bage, our Town Engineer, dated October 24, 1973, as follows:
"In response to your request for me to review the preliminary
map of Inlet East Estates sub,division, I submit the following
comments.
Using data available from the Soil Conservation Service,
the recharge basin is adequate in size to hold the volume of
run-off that can be expected.
The plan calls for construction of the recharge basin to be
in accordance with the Town Highway Specifications. In reviewing
this specification I find that no mention of the composition of the
bottom of the recharge basin is made. The bottom of the basin
should be sand or sand and gravel with no interveninq layer of
other material until ground water is reached."
(The letter above was addressed to Mr. Raymond C. Dean,
Superintendent of Highways, with copy to Planning Board).
MR. MOISA: We are going to have to have a letter of
recommendation from Mr. Dean for our files. However, I think
we have enough material for a preliminary hearing.
MR. WILLIAM ESSEKS:, The test wells and wells have been
dug. I hope to have this week a statement from the Health
Department and from the Sewer Agency. I understand we have
Southold Town Planning Board -6-
November 15, 1973
to get State approval because we are within 300 feet of
wetlands.
MR. MOISA: They will either give you a letter stating
you are not within their jurisdiction or you will have to get
a permit from them.
MR. ESSEKS: I will go to the Health Department first and
then to the State, and then we will need a bond estimate.
MR. MOISA: We refer it to the Town Engineer, he reports
to us, and we make a recommendation to the Town Board. The
Town Board has to approve it. I don't believe you have to
wait for the Board of Health and Environmental before going to
the State. You will have to send maps.
MR. RAYNOR: You will need a topographic map showing the
land going towards wetlands~
MR. HENRY MOISA: I will now open the hearing to anyone
who wishes to speak against this subdivision.
(There was no response.)
MRS. JEAN TIEDKE: Was not there some discussion about
drainage?
MR. RAYNOR: It was sent to the New York State Soil &
Water Conservation Department. Everything has been redrawn
and resubmitted to comply to the recommendations of Mr.
Charles Barnett.
MRS. TIEDKE: Will that have to be fenced in?
MR. HENRY RAYNOR: That would be part of the Superintendent
of Highways responsibility.
MR. MOISA: I think this should be resolved before the
final hearing.
MRS. TIEDKE: When this is fenced in is there allowance
for landsCaping?
MR. RAYNOR: That would be included in bOnding.
MR. MOISA: Does anyone wish to speak for this subdivision?
Southold Town Planning Board
-7- November 15, 1973
MR. WILLIAM ESSEKS: I wish to reiterate what we have
been saying for several months.
MR. MOISA: Does anyone else wish to speak in favor of
this subdivision?
(There was no response.)
MR. HENRY RAYNOR: I have one comment in regard to Lot
No. 10. I still think it's a matter of poor planning and
layout although it does meet Town requirements. I don't
think it is in the interests of good planning.
MR. ESSEKS: The-alternative is to give up one of the
four valuable lots in the 16 acres. It would mean a loss of
$25,OO0.
MR. RAYNOR: I just want you to know that I don't agree
with this type of development.
MR~ MOISA: I think this layout was originally discussed,
and this was an alternative plan that we came up with that was
suitable to all parties concerned.
MR. MOISA: I will now declare the hearing closed.
MR. HENRY MOISA, Vice Chairman: I will call the meeting
to order for the hearing on final map of East Hill, Sec. I
subdivision, owned by Mr. John Pontino.
Mr. He~ry Raynor read the legal notice of hearing as
follows:
NOTICE IF HERE~Y GIVEN that pursuant to Section 276 of the
Town Law~a ?ublic hearing will be held by the Southold Town
~anning Boa~d~at the Town Office, Main Road, Southold, New

Mr. Raynor read letter dated October 11, 1973 from the
Superintendent of Highways, as follows:
"I have spoken with the Highway Committee and we suggest
that approximately one-half an acre be dedicated to the Town
of Southold. from the Park and Playground area for future use
as a recharge basin."
The file also contains a letter of disclosure and a
letter of transmittal from the Town Clerk.
MR. HENRY MOISA: Everything is in order to date. No
bond estimate is needed.
RUDOLPH BRUER, ESQ.: If I may interject, the surveyor
took a map to Mr. Dean's office. All he wanted was that we
give him a right of way.
MR. RAYNOR: Specifications call for the construction of
a recharge basin.
MR. BRUER: I will ask Mr. Dean for a letter on it. My
understanding was that he did not want it but he wanted the
right to have the Town have it in the future. I will ask him
to deliver such a letter.
MR. MOISA: We would like to know whether we are required
to have a Performance Bond included in this. It would be up
to him to tell us, it would be his decision.
MR. BRUER: It is my recollection that he did not want
it at this moment but was thinking of the future for the Town
to be able to have it and service it.
MR. HENRY MOISA: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak against Chis subdivision?
MR. MOISA: Hearing no opposition, I will ask if there is
anyone who ~i~hes to speak for this subdivision?

MRS. JEAN TIEDKE: I.would like to ask a question. Does
the park and playground area also serve as a recharge area?
MR. RAYNOR: He has more than enough area, a total of
approximately 65,000 sq. ft.
MR. MOISA: This is nothing new. We~have always included
the recharge area in Park and Playground.
MR. HENRY MOISA, Vice Chairman: Does anyone wish to speak
for this subdivision?
RUDOLPH BRUER, ESQ.: I would like to reiterate everything
we have said over the past few months. I ask that it be
approved without any bond subject to a letter from the
Superintendent of Highways with respect to a recharge basin.
MR. MOISA: I will now declare this hearing closed.
Rudolph Bruer, Esq. presented to the Board a sketch of
the proposed Crescent Beach condominiums showing distances and
elevations. Mr~ Raynor asked for the height of the buildings.
Mr. James Kavanagh, the owner of Crescent Beach Motel, said
that they are one story buildings, approximately 12 feet in
height. Mr. Frank Coyle said that he had looked over the
premises and could see no reasan to delay approval. Mr. Bruer
said that the Board of Appeals has approved it subject to
Planning Board approval. Mr. Moisa suggested that Mr. Bruer
call the Planning Board office in the morning for the decision
of the Board.
Mr. Rudolph Bruer presented to the Board a large color
map of the proposed Pebble Beach subdivis&~n. The Board said
they would discuss this subdivision later on tonight.
Richard Cron, Esq. came before the Board for a Hearing on
the Joseph Wiederman & John Gilowski Minor Subdivision.
MR~ HENRYMOISA, Vice Chairman: We have looked this pro-
posed subdivision over several times and it seems to comply
with all the ~egulations. We have the application and fee and
a letter signed by the applicants to the effect that no application
shall be made in the future to further subdivide the minor sub-
division as shown on the Van Tuyl map dated October 10, 1973.
Southold Town Planning Board
-10- November 15, 1973
MR. RAYNOR: Could we ask for something of a little broader
scope regarding assignees including heirs?
MR. CRON: This was taken from an identical one that was
done in the past but I.will be glad to follow up with a statement.
They are wi~linq to bind themselves. If you have a particular
form I have no objection to using it.
MR. MOISA: DoeS anyone wish to speak against this Minor
Subdivision?
(There was no response.)
MR. MOISA: Does anyone wish to speak, for this subdivision?
RICHARD CRON, ESQ.: I would like to say a few words. I
represent the applicants, Joseph Wiederman & ~ohn Gilowski. This
is the third time I have been before the Board and I believe that
we have exhausted all matters pertaining to it. It obviously
meets requirements and more than meets the present Ordinance.
We~see no affect environmentally, or otherwise, and request
an approval.
MRS. JEAN TIEDKE: Does this front on Old North Road?
MR. CRON: Yes.
MR. MOISA: They have a 50 foot right of way.
MR~ MOISA: Does anyone else wish to speak for this
subdivision? Hearing no reply, I will declare the hearing
closed and we will make our decision later on this evening.

was acquired separately by the Will of his father. The reason
we are asking for this subdivision of the property is that we
have to sell the property to pay debts and' funeral expenses.
There are a lot of heirs and not much in the way Of funds. We
have to sell and distribute cash to th~ variouS leqatees. We
are trying to do it in the most expedient way. We fel~ that

by dividing the bigger parcel into bwo we could more readily
sell it for a cash figure. We asked Mr. Young of Young &
Young to come up with a proposal for a Minor Subdivision.
Mr. Moisa said that there is only one lot of the three that
would meet our requirements. We can not approve of anything
under 40,000 sq. ft. Mr~ Wickham said that this was separate
from the beginning. He sold par~ of it off a few years ago.
We have straightened out the right of way to give more area
and we could include the right o:f way. This parcel is a little
out of character to the rest of the area. You will notice
smaller parcels'along Grand Avenue. Even the new ones north
of Maple Avenue are less than one acre in size. We just have to
sell and do it the most expedient way we can. Mr. Moisa said
that he thinks the Board of Appeals.will have to be drawn into
this. Mr. Raynor said that we just finished WOrking on one
similar to this in Southold. The Planning Board and the Board
of Appeals got together and worked out a variance for one lot
and made the other two 40,000 sq. ft., and this seemed to be
a workable solution. I wonder if, by changing the lot line,
you could pick up the footage necessary. You have access on
Grand Avenue. How important are these structures here?
Mr. Wickham said that the buildings are sheds and not very
important. I think I can do some shifting around. There is
a lot of good frontage. If we can get two 40,000 sq. ft. lots
we might be able to get a variance on the other one. Mr~
Raynor said that under this setup he believes that the'Planning
Board would be willing to talk to the Board of Appeals. Mr.
Wickham said that he would get back to the Planning Board as
soon as possible.
came before the Board for an informal
piece of property adjoining his office,
across the Feet from Glover's barn, 21 acres. Mr. Ahlers said
that there were people who were interested in it before he was
and they U~division. ThiS.ldeal~ ha through

16 one acre lots. I would suggest clustering as it would make
for a nicer area~. We could have a buffer between Business
Property and ~A" Residential. Mr. Frank Coyte asked if the
Southold Town Planning Board
-12-
November 15, 1973
property was zoned for Business now. Mr. Ahlers indicated on
the map where he was zoned Business. Mr.rMoisa said that he
would suggest that Mr. Ahlers make an application. We could
go on with it from there~ Mr. Ahlers said that the general
slope is toward the back. I was thin~ing of putting an
addition on the back back of my existing building b~t it
would be three to four feet above floor level. I thought if
I could go to the side it might be be~ter. If everything was
kept down at this end (referring to map) it would leave
approximately eight acres that could be left open. Mr. Moisa
said that as far as clustering is concerned there is nothing
we can enlighten you on. We are at a stalemate with the
Department of Environmental Control. The hang-up is sewage
disposal. Everything that is done has to be done by special
exception at this time. Mr. Raynor said that this would have
to go to the County also because of its location to the Main
Road. Maybe you would want to explore that with them before
you come back to us. Mr. Raynor suggested that Mr. Ahlers
check with Mr. Wickham and contact Mr. Charles Lind.
Mr. Ahters said that with regard ~0 Southold Commons, we
are going into contract this week with Purification Systems.
We will be signing a contract for the sewage treatment plant.
We hope to get this under way next Spring. Environmental Control
takes six months to a year to approve. They have made their
preliminary comments. We are going ahead with final engineering.
In the meantime we are ordering equipment. I can get you a copy
of the comments of the Department of Environmental Control. The
Engineering Company is handling all the paper work. I will
get it down to you.
Mr. George Penny came before the Board with regard to
the Luce-Penny subdivision. Mr. Penny told the Board that one
lot would be omitt~d. Mr~ Meisa asked if it was under contract.
Mr. Penny said it was "by word of mouth". Mr. Moisa said that
normally we would consider it a part Of the subdiVision. You
leave us with fi~e lots. There is no way we can approve a minor
with five lots Or more. Our rules call for four lots of
40,000 sq, ft. each. "We have been going around with this on
your suggestion for several months" Mr. Penny replied. Mr. Moisa
said that he knew this had been before us before but it was larger
and some lots were sold off. Mr. Raynor said that if Mr. Penny
should go the route of a major subdivision he would run into
construction costs. Mr~ Moisa said that he did not think the
Board wouId look favorably on a minor subdivision. If you make
this one lot (referring to map) we will insist on having a 50'
right of way. Mr. Penny said that their intention was to make
it one lot. I talked to Mr. Luce and he was not in good enough
health to come down here. Our intention is to leave this as one
Southold T~wn Planning Board -13-
November 15, 1973
lot. Lot No. 6 will be eliminated. Mr. Moisa said that
they would have to have some maps drawn. We will need six
copies, plus an application in duplicate, plus a check for
$40, $10 a lot. Mr. Coyle said that the Board would have
to have a statement that it won't be subdivided again.
Mr. P~nny said that there is no access to the creek. There
is no way you can get to the creek without trespassing on
someone's property.
Mr. Robert Kart and Mr. Jerry Horton presented the
Board with a preliminary map of Peconic Homes. Mr. Moisa
said that he thought this fit in well with the locale.
Our specifications call for 12 copies of the map for a major
subdivision. The Superintendent of Highways and the Highway
Committee will advi'~e you as to catch basins. Mr~ Raynor
asked if they had been to the Board of Health. You have to
have test wells. I don't think~it's within 300 feet of
wetlands. Mr. Moisa stated that if it's within 300 feet it
has to go to the State. When you get all the material
necessary, we will set up a date for a preliminary hearing.
Mr. Stephen G. Tsontakis appeared before the Board
with maps, roadway profiles, and application for major
subdivision Peconic Knolls, Inc. Mr. Moisa read letter
dated November 10, 1973 Re~ Peconic Knolls, Inc.- S.
Tsontakis & S. Waimey, as follows:
"We, adjacent owners of property on the Sound, in Peconic,
do wish to express our concern and opinions (constructive,
we hope) with respect to the proposed division of land in
Peconic Knolls.
We believe that minimum 40,000 square feet building sites
are not s~itabl~ for land of thiS character. Steep slopes erosion
can bei. limi~d if the sites are limited. There is als0 a
possible s~erious pro'blem with Clay. An adjacent parcel, to
Lot 8, has a very serzous clay problem.
On.the basis of site inspection and elevation data, it
appea'rs that Lot 8 has over half its area about the same elevation
of the 100 ft. drainage area adjacent -- certainly unsuitable
for a building site, The i00 foot drainage area would not be
adequate in a clay bed. In our opznlon Lots 8 and 9 together
have barely enough land for one building site.
Southold Town Planning Board -14-
November 15, 1973
Lots 1 and 2 are different. About one half of their
individual areas are upland, and one half steep slopes. If
one places our Right-of-Way on the map (as we have done)
all the land north of the Right-of-Way has a very steep
drop-off, un suitable for building sites, and this comprises
about one half of the lot areas. We are brought to the con-
clusion that these two lots together make one building site.
Lot 3 has very much low land elevations, and a collecting
area for upland run-off water from adjacent land.
The Peconic Knolls map does not show our Right-of-Way
on it. Without this being shown, which we understand is
required, it is impossible to determine how this affects
the various lots. In fact, we believe that all of the plots
should be considerably larger in view of the circumstances
described above.
We thank you for your consideration~
Sincerely yours,

(TheBoard studied the Map of Peconic Knolls). Mr.
Moisa said that the Planning Board will require that you show
the present right of way. Mr. Raynor asked Mr. Tsontakis
if he had waivers as far as the right of way is concerned.
Mr. Tsontakis said that the last time he was before the Board
he asked Mr. Wickham if he should see Mr. Dean about it.
Mr. Wickham said he would take care of it so I did not do
it. (The Secretary informed the Board that there has not as
yet been a reply from Mr. Dean). Mr. Nelson Axien stated
that the elvation of this building lot is about the same
elevation as the drainage area. Mr. Tsontakis said that
parts of it are, of course, since its abutting. Mr. Raynor
said that the existing gra~ is not always the finished grade.
Mr. Driscoll, Wh® was also present to speak for Peconic Knolls,
saldlthat they had been working with the Mosquito Control
people and that a lot of drainage ditches have been put on this
property. The Mosquito Con,r01 people are working to drain
all property down to Autumn Lake. Mr. Raynor asked if they
had any test well data pertinent to this property. Mr.
Tsont~kis said he did not have it with him but that as he
remen~bered it, it was pretty good. Down about 5 feet we
were getting to sa~d ~th some traces of clay and gravel.
Mr. Raynor said they have not been marked on the map. Mr.
Tsontakis said they were marked on the small map. Mr. Raynor
asked if they had been to the Health Department with it, and
Mr. Tsontakis said they had not. Mr. Moisa said they would
also have to submit it to the Department of Environmental Control
Southold Town Planning Board -15-
November 15, 1973
pertaining to sewers. Mr. Raynor said that the Board will
have to know the location of the right of way and whether
the right of way will revert. Mr. Tsontakis said that
they could do it that way. Mr. Coyle asked Mr. Tsontakis
where he was going to get the fill. Mr. Tsontakis said
we will cut some out and bring in whatever is necessary.
I contend that all of these plots are buildable. It's a
beautiful wooded area that we want to maintain as much as
possible. The fact that it is uneven makes it possible to
maintain it as natural and we only need to clear it to allow
for buildings,
Mr~ Tsontakis said he would like to remark on Mr.
Axien's letterl Mr~ Axien said that the letter was not his
alone. The other people could not appear personally. Mr.
Tsontakis- said~that definitely all these plots are buildable.
The engineering work that has been done indicates that we can
make a decent road through here, that we can drain the
properties, and also maintain the drainage which exists,
which~ has been installed by Mosquito Control. We have been
working in coQperation with these people to maintain through
a new~ drainage area and through the existing ditch which
event~ally drains into Autumn Lake and overflows into
Goldsmiths Inlet. Mr~ Axien said that,these ditches run into
Autumn Lake and there is a pipeline and there is no way to
carry off the excess drainage. Mr. Raynor said that he is
sure our Engineer will see to that. Mr. Moisa said that the
Highw~y~Committse and the Highway Superintendent may very well
add t° what you~~have here. Mr. Raynor suggeisted that they
get some test wells. The Department of Health will tell
you where to put them. Give them a map and they will tell
you where they want them. This is a straight-forward
approach to this property,
Mr Tsontakis asked what they could do about getting a
hearing. I thought that ~e were ready but ~t
I am not ready yet. I have to g~ to the Board of
~, them a map. Mr.~Ray~or s'~id~ that they will
rsquire that test wells be made and will t-e~l you what to do.
Take a 'map to the Department ~of Environmental Control. They
will tel1 you ~what to put in for sewage disposal. Show the
existing right' of way on the map. Mr. Moisa said that if
Mr. Tsontakis .appeared at the next meeting posSibly we
could set a date for a preliminary hearing. Mr. ~xien said
that there is an error in the survey about 4 feet over on my
wife's land. This is confirmed by the Title Company and also
Van Tuyl. This concerns the northwest corner running south.
Southold Town Planning Board -16- November 15, 1973
Mr. Joseph Maier of De Nigris & Maier, A.I.A., came
before the Board for site plan review of the Mattituck
Branch for Walt Whitman Federal Sa~nqs & Loan Association.
Mr~ Moisa read letter received from the Superintendent of
Highways as follows:
"I have inspected the plans for the Mattituck Branch
for Walt Whitman Federal Savings & Loan Association located
at Mattituck, New York and recommend the following changes:
1. The curb cut on Bay Avenue, Mattituck (exit)
should be 12' and not 18'
2. The terrace from the sidewalk to curb on N.Y.
State Route ~25 shall be 2' and not 5'6"."
Mr. Raynor stated that there is a problem as they
are 6£~from the water. Mr~ Maier said that he had submitted
this to the County. I have a sketch of the floor plan and
elevation if you care to look at that. We have a branch in
East Setauket and one in Melville. Mr. Raynor said that the
BUilding Inspector will require ~equire 361 sq. ft. of parking.
Mr. Maier said that they have ample parking space. There
was a di~scussion on the planting area. .Mr. Maier said that
to the northwest we will sod this area, and then plant around
the buitding~ Mr. Raynor asked Mr. Maier what he proposed in
the way of a sign. Mr. Maier said the front Of th~ building
has a portiCo and ~that's where we will put the sign. Mr.
Raynor asked what khey are proposing for materials. Mr.
Maier said "brick w~th a slate roof". There will be wood
columns. Mr. Raynor stated that the Board will,need a list
of mater~alS~ If we don't have a list we get in trouble
with the Fire Department. You will have to meet State
specifications anyway. We will need a side view of it.
Mr. Maie~ showed th~'Board an interior design. Mr. Raynor
asked wh~re Was the Closest branch similar to this. Mr.
Maisr said it was located on Route 25, E. Sstauket; and also
there is~ne in Melville very similar to this. Mr. Raynor
asked about the total height to the top of the cupola. Mr.
Maier sa~id it w~uld be 28 fset, under 30 feet. T~e architecture
is E~rly American. Mr. Raynor said t~hat'the Board would need
side and rear profiles and a list of materials% We.run into
problems particularly with roofing materials so this is why
we are asking you to supply us with this information. Mr.
Moisa said that the Board will wait to hear from Mr. Maier.
~ary Olsen, Esq. came before the Board with regard to
Oregon View at Cutchogue. There was a further discussion
of a turn-around. Final maps have not as yet been submitted
to the County.

Gary Olsen, Esq. came before the Board with regard to
Sleepy Hollow subdivision. The following letter from the
Superintendent of Highways was read:
"The Town Attorney advises the Highway Committee and
myself that the proposed roadway end of Sleepy Hollow
does not have a 100 ft. turn around and'it would be illegal
for the roadr~of West Creek Estates (Glenn Road) to be used.
This being a private road."
Mr. Olsen said that when he received a copy of this letter
he asked Mr. Van Tuyt to prepare a sketch of the proposed
turn around to see what you think of it. If I make that
change can I go ahead with the final copy? Mr. Raynor said
that the elevation is a problem. The turn around is down in
the meadow. Mr. Olsen said that he wants to know if his
suggestion is alright. Mr. Moisa said that there is nothing
else you can do with it. Mr. Coyle said that he should
increase the Park and Playground area to make 38,000 sq. ft.
Mr~ Raynor suggested that Mr. Olsen hand carry this to
Stony B~ook, and to leave one sketch for our file.

November 15, 1973
Gary Olsen, Esq. came before the Planning Board in
regard to the proposed Fairway Farms Subdivision in
Cutchogue. He said that he had received a copy of a
letter addressed to Mr. Russell Case from the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation, as follows:
"Re~-. Proposed Fairway Farms Subdivision in Cutchogue,
Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York
Please be advised that the subdivision of property
referenced above will not require a permit pursuant to
Environmental Conservation Law, Article 25 o~ Article 15.
However,!future alterations to lots nos. 15, 16, 17, 18 and
19 on the proposed subdivision map will have to file for
permits under the Tidal Wetlands Act.
Sincerely yours,
Daniel J. Larkin
Local Permit Agent"
Mr. Otsen said that there is no trouble when a house
goes up 6n each one of these lots. They want to see where
the cess~eols are going to go. As far as approving the
subdivislon, ~this is all they are going to give until the
lots arelsold and the houses built. It reai~y d~esn't
affect y~u fellows on the Board. Has the summons been
settled in any way or other? I have talked to Justice
D~maresti Mr. Wickham said that once he got this letter
from the~State, he woUld recommend that the summons be
withdrawn. He said he would talk to you before he went
away. Mr. Rayner said that when he talked to Mr. Wickham
they both ~feit that the Board would be in a Position to go
ahead-~witb this when the fill was put back in. Mr. Olsen said
that the!indication has been to him that technically the summons
doesn,t ~US anything te do with your approving this subdivision.
It is go~ to be resolved. Let s get at on for a final hearing,
and hew thB park and recreation area will develop is a separate
thing. Thc Only thing he did request was some sort of letter
s~ating ~tlmy ~tien~s in~end doing with the recreational area.
The letter has been prepared and I submit it to you tonight.
~letter in file).
Mr. Otsen said that he wou~d like a Commitment that this
wil U.ed for a final hearing~ ~r, Raynor s~ated that
is 'Still in variance to subdivisi~n regulations.
I am not talking about the summons. Dredging was done in the
wrong location. Mr. Moisa stated that something has to be
done as far as the pond is concerned. Mr. Olsen said that
if the Beard wanted assurance that the po~d would be filled in
we will give you a bond, but we have to get on for a final
hearing. As you know, they have put an awful lot of money
Southold Town Planning Board -19- November 15, 1973
into this place. Mr. Wickham said that if you had a letter
from the Departmentaof Environmental Conservation it could
be put on for a final hearing. Mr, Moisa said that Mr.
Wickham also mentioned the filling in of the pond. We
have to have something agreed upon that that will be done.
Mr~ Olsen said, if you want the pond moved we will move it
or eliminate it. My point is that we want to get this
scheduled for a final hearing, and then, as far as what will
be done with the pond, we will take it up with the Planning
Board at a separate conference. We will probably have to
get approval from the Town Trustees, the Town Board, and
the State. We will do whatever the Town wants us to do.
I don't think it should hold up a final hearing. You can
always put contingencies on it. Mr. Moisa said that in
reference to the signlng of the map, it would be with the
approval of the Highway Committee. Let us discuss this a
little later. You may call us in the morning.
Mr. Arthur Tyrrell and Mr. Arnold Larsen appeared
before the Board in reference to a pre-preliminary sketch
of Map of Esther Jane Farm at Arshamomaque. Mr. Tyrrell
said there are 26 lots. Parcel No. 2 is approximately 5 acres
to be given as Park and Playground area. I well know this
does not meet the 150 foot requirement for frontage and it
does not meet the 40,000 sq. ft. requirement but this is to
get your reaction to this. Mr~ Moisa asked if his concept was
for a major subdivision. Mr. Tyrrell said that it Was, in
sections. Mr~ Moisa asked if he had clustering in mind. Mr.
Tyrrell said that at the time he consulted with Mr. Terry, he
said that 25 lots would meet the requirements. There are 26
lots of which 5.6 are waterfront and wetlands, which is
worth $3'00 a front foot if you could use it. Mr. Tyrrell
said that on one of the.maps some port'on of this is designated
as wetlands. Mr..Moisa asked for the buildable acreage. Mr.
Tyrrell said 23 acres. There are two ,parcels m-rked as such, one is
to be given aw~y and the other is buitdable land. We have 28 acres.
Mr. Raynor asked what is the minimum proposed for one lot?
Mr. Lars~n said about three quarters o~ an acre, ~ome are acres
and a half. M~. Tyrrell said that they had allowed for a 50 foot
road. Mr~ Moi~a said "you have 26 lot~". Mr. Larsen answered
that we are giving 5.6 acres away with it. Mr. Moisa said
that it would have t~ have clearance of Suffolk County Environ-
mental Control and they h~ve not been too happy about clustering.
Mr~ Tyrrell said that he had an alternative plan. This would
be in partnership with a United Nations colleague. We are
buying the whole .lot and he would take title to part and I
would take title to part. These do meet your 150 foot frontage
requirements and they are all an acre or more. Mr. Raynor
said you still need 5% overage. You would have no way of
Southold Town Planning Board
-20- November 15, 1973
supplying Park and Playground area. If you were to have
this as one parcel you would have to~ supply 5% as Park and
Playground area. Mr. Tyrrell said "in other words, you
would increase by one-fifth of an acre to cope with this".
Mr. Raynor said that that would be o~e way of approaching it.
Mr. Tyrrell asked if there would be drainage requirements
on this plan. Mr. Raynor answered ~hat that would be up to
the Superintendent of Highways. Mr. Mo~sa said they would
have to have maps made up and present them with profiles.
Mr. R~ynor said that the Superintendent of Highways could
look at'it and decide which would be the better way. Mr~
Tyrr.ell said~that this was all farmland. Mr. Larsen said
that there ~s. no clay to h~s knowledge. Mr. Tyrrell asked
if t/aere were too ma~y problems involved with the first
s~ S~ion. Are there snags here that make it impractical?
takes about six Months to get clearance
from :tare Environmental Control. ~r~ Larsen said that if

Mr. Moisa suggested that Mr. Tyrrell come back after seeing the
Superintendent of Highways on drainage.
Southold Town Planning Board
-21- November 15, 1973
Mr. Joseph Saland came before the Board with regard to
Elijah's Lane Estates subdivision. Mr. Howard Young of
Young & YoUng was also present. Mr. Satand said "you want
a turnaround" and Mr. Coyle answered "for future dedication".
Mr. Young said that there had been an objection on elevations
on the road profiles. We brought down new elevations and
we will leave those with you. How are we going to proceed?
Can't you approve at a final hearing subject to modification?
Mr. Raynor said that the Board liked to have everything
completed before the final hearing. Mr~ Saland stated that
he would like to get a Bond on Section I. He said that he
had ta~ked to Larry Tuthill. We only have 800 feet of
roads ~d one large recharge basin. Mr~ MOisa stated that
if we receive the bond estimate by the next meeting, we
could set a date for a final hearing. Mr. Saland said that
he would take the new profiles to the Superintendent of
Highways. Mr. Young objected to the fact that last week
he got a letter of disapproval. Mr. Raynor said that the
engineer said the roads are below grade. Mr. Young said
they were put below grade because that's what Mr. Barnett
recommended'. You have a letter in the files about this
telling how it should be handled. Mr. Moisa suggested
that they do their necessary work and we will get a bond
estimate and set a date for a final hearing. When the
bond estimate comes in we will be able to set the date.
Mr. Young had a further discussion with the Board
regarding roads. He.objected to the fact that they had
made f~nal maps and had Health Department stamps on them
and nowlthey have to go through this whole thing again.
He felt that~ there was no reason this could not have been
solved four!months ago. Mr~ Raynor said that this is
what the Town Engineer found out and this is what he
recommended to us.
Mr~ Donald A. Stephenson, Main Road, Omient,~New York,
came before~ the Board for Site plan approval. Mr; Stephenson
t~ld fhe Board that he wants to build an extension that
the Board a Sketch of his plan. He said that you walk down
to the garage level five or six steps and up to the apartment
five or six steps. Here is the existing house - you go
down to my workshop and my wife's studio, the ~partment is
above it. (Referring to map) This is unuseable space.
Southold Town Planning Board -22- , November 15, 1973
Mr. Moisa said that he had talked to Bob Gillispie, the

said the cnnditions Of Board of Appeals approval were
that he get site plan approval from the Planning Board,
the right to use the road, and that he mark off 80,000 sq. ft.
Mr. Raynor said that he now understood, it's for zoning
purposes, it's being considered as two homes.

to suggest a variation of the applicant's proposal for two
underSized l°ts which would comply with your ~hird paragraph;
namely, one undersized lot, or four full ones or oversized
lots. Since the applicant owns adequate acreage bordering
the proposed~undersized lots, it would be our suggestion
that all of the lots be full or oversized, and that over-
sized lots be covenanted to prevent further subdivision.

November 15, 1973
Mr. Moisa read letter received from Mr. Howard Terry,
Building Inspector, dated November 15, 1973, as follows:
"April 13, 1973 we had complaints of drainage problems
along the westerly lots of minor subdivision "Rollingwood"
and the southerly line of the open farm land north of
this minor subdivision where "runoff water" from the farm
land had been "channeled" by some bulldozing and hand
ditching to run this water to Peconic Bay Blvd., thence
to Brushes Creek.
This matter was brought to your attention at that
time. We do not know who did the work, but the lot owners
were ordered to fill in the ditch on their properties to
stop water running onto the public highway.
It appears that adjoining property owners are about to
bring action against one another for causing change in
natural runoff pattern.
I believe you should look into this matter as the
area drainage problem starts with the westerly lots in Laurel
Country Estates and goes west and south for many acres -
when frozen or not planted in cover crop, this means thousands
of gallons of water.to be cared for.
I have talked to the Superintendent of Highways Dean
about this, and I believe you should plan something for the
entire area in the near futUre - before the land comes up
for development, or you are brought in an action for damages
now claimed."
(Mr. Raynor stated that he intended to inspect this area
the day after the meeting).
