THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Saland, I believe you know that it will be necessary for you to prepare a final map with stamps and signatures. We will have a bond estimate prepared by Southold Town Planning Board -6- September 18, 1973 our Town Engineer. It will be sent to us for approv.al and we will send it to the Town Board who have to ac~ on sufficiency of the bond. Following that a final beaching will be held. We hold both preliminary and final hearings. When the bond is approved by the Town we will sign the maps. we will instruct our ~n~ineer~to make-an estimate. We figure on an increased cost over a three yea~ period; they usually run about 150%. Some people prefer to have some of the work done beforehand so the total bond figure can be increased. Preliminary approval includes improvement of highways, so you may proceed. MR. SALAND: We are only going to do Section I. We are not touching the road going to the main highway. Assum- ing that we post a bond, do we have preliminary approval? THE CHAIRMAN: You will have to call the office in the morning to find out whether you have preliminary approval. THE CHAIRMAN: I will call the meeting to order on the hearing for preliminary approval for map of property known as Sytoret Estates, oWned by Lorraine Hochman, Mr. Henry Raynor read the legal notice of hearing, as follows: 2.

Mr. Raynor stat~ed tha~ access to Lots 16 and 17 will be on Bridge Lane and not on Middle Road. We havel been trying to locate parks~and playgrounds off highways. You will note that it borders on two other pieces of property. The Chairman said that our attorney tells us that we only have the right to demand park and playground for the lot owners in this subdivision. This is not too bad a location because it's readily accessible. THE CHAIRMAN: If there are no other questions, I will now declare the hearing closed.

That I reside at 145 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gab~es,iFlorida 33134, and I am the applicant in re. the abo~e captioned subdivision. 2. That I submit this affidavit of ownership in support of my application for a major subdivision approval pending before the Southold Town Planning Board. 3. That I am the sole owner of the 46.9 acres which are the ~subject matter of my subdivision appl~ic~ation and said property is held in my individual name and not in a corporate name." T~E CHAIRMAN: Usually we ask, in individual ownership cases, %hat the applicant swear that he is~not an employee of the TOWnship of Southold, County of Suffolk or State of New York. GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: To my knowledge, that is true. THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone wish to be heard in opposition to this subdivision called Oregon View Estates? Southold Town Planning Board -10- September 18, 1973 (There was no response.) THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone wish to be heard in favor of this subdivision? GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: I wish to speak in behalf of Oregon View Estates. As the Board is aware I have been before the Board on a number of occasions with regard to this matter, and believe we have now complied with your requests. We have all the necessary approvals in the file, and I would ask that the Board permit me to authorize the surveyor to go ahead and submit it to this Board for final signature. MR. FRANK COYLE: On Lot 23 there is a statement of possibl~ turn-around. We should note that the County Planning Commission has indicated to us that they would not approve more than one connection. MR. OLSEN: I will have no access to Route 27. If we send the final map this way do you feel they would send it back so they don't have two accesses on County Road 27. MR. COYLE: Perhaps you could run the road straight across to Depot Lane. THE CHAIRMAN: We can, and might, overrule the County on this particular one. MR~ OLSEN: Do you want me to hold off? THE CHAIRMAN: We will get in touch with the County. It takes them about six weeks to get back to us. MR. OLSEN: If it takes too long maybe we will put in a turnaround. MR. HENRY RAYNOR: Will it make a difference to your clients? MR. OLSEN: It will make a lot of traffic coming in and out of one exit. Let me know what you wan~ me to do. THE CHAIRMAN: They have to approve the highway connection. Even if we overrule, they could say that they don't want you to hook up to that highway. Where it says "future road" that should be tied down better than that... for possible dedication to the Town, or at least "reserved for future road". THE CHAIRMAN: I will now declare the hearing closed. Southold Town Planning Board -11- September 18, 1973 THE CHAIRMAN: I will call the hearing to order for the property known as Sleepy Hollow, owned by Leo Kwasneski, situated at Southold. Mr. Henry Raynor read the legal notice of hearing, as follows: 4.

Southold Town Board of Appeals -12- September 18, 1973 Mr. Raynor also read the proofs of publication as published in the Suffolk Weekly Times and the Long Island Traveler -Mattituck Watchman. THE CHAIRMAN: I have a comment. I believe Milford and Dart are interchanged on the map. The Chairman read the following letters: Letter from Mr. Robert A. Villa, Department of Health, dated August 20, 1973, as follows: "We have checked our files regarding test hole data and test well results-for the above referenced preliminary map. Our review indicates that Healtk Department standards can be met for all lots within this tract, and the map will be processed for approval just as soon as a complete sub- mission is forwarded to this office." Letter from Mr. Raymond C. Dean, Superintendent of Highways, dated August 20, 1973, as follows: "I have inspected the map and approve the lay-out of the proposed road(s) at SLEEPY HOLLOW, Southold, New York.

That I submit this affidavit of ownership in support o~f anF~application for a major subdivision approval pending befor~ t~ South°ld Town Planning Boardl 3. That I will be the .sole owner of the 17 1/2 acres which are the subject matter of my subdivision application and said premises are presently owned by Alfred E. Dart and Alice J. Dart of Main Bay View Road, Southold, New York. I am under a Contract. of Sale to pUrchase the subject premises". (Signed by Leo Kwasneski and notarized 0n t~e 18th day of September, 1973.) GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Mr. Kwasneski is not related to anyone on the Planning Board or the County Board. Southotd Town PlanniNg Board -13- September 18, 1973 THE CHAI~: The hearing is now open for public discussion. Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in opposition to this subdivision? MR. DONALD FREDERICK: I own Lot No. 35 which is adjacent. When we bought we bought knowing that we had private roads, and that you come out the sime way you come in; and according to the map, these.roads connect. Will they remain private roads? THE CHAIRMAN: The Planning Board is responsible for providing for traffic not only for the present but also for the future. We can not compel a developer to provide through access or to block it off. We assume that they will provide access but there have been cases where they did not. MR. FREDERICK: Grissom Lane has never been opened up; it's growing trees. At the end of Glen Road I see the map overlaps and it appears it will tie in directly together. I am against it as far as having through traffic there. I think the layout is fine. We pay Wilsberg-an amount every year for upkeep of the roads and he has kept them up. He states in the restrictions that he holds the privilege of turning it over to us at some future time as an Association. He owns the total and we pay $25 on each lot. He has done a good job of main- taining the roads, keeping them in satisfactory condition. Some of us bought for exactly the reason that it was not a race track. Glen Road~oes~to the water and there is a turnaround at the end. MR. FRANK COYLE: What you don't like is the proposed road. MR. FREDERICK: I don't like it being opened up. I think provision should be made so that Leo's roads don't come through. I think it's a very good layout but the only question I am raisinq is whether these roads are lined up. Is there any reason it has to be opened up so we will be forced out of the privacy we bought. THE CHAIRMAN: Our experience has been in a vast majority of cases that there comes a time when the lot owners or home owners become mmpatient with snow removal and say to the Town Board'"we pay highway taxes and we want the Highway Department to maintain our roads". The Planning Board has been insistent that you conform to Town Highway specifications so that in the event that,.the homeowners do want the Town to maintain the highway, the Town Board can and will, if they so ch99se, accept it. Southold Town Planning Board -14~ September 18, 1973 MR. FREDERICK: I agree. I think it is very well done but it appears that Glen Road will become part of the other road. THE CHAIRMAN: Supposing we take this under considera- tion with the Superintendent of Highways. What might happen is t~at the owners on Grissom Lane or Glen Road can, or might, put a fence across. MR. FREDERICK: Grissom Lane is not passable now. THE CHAIRMAN: We will discuss this with the ~uper- intendent of Highways. MR. FREDERICK: I am not objecting, 3ust bringing up a point. Weblike our one way traffic. THE CHAIRMAN: This proposed road would still have 20 feet of access to park and playground, and that would have 200 feet of creek frontage. Lot No. 14 would have more than adequate highway frontage. MR. FREDERICK: There should not be any problem unless it was necessary to provide room to turn around in there. THE CHAIRMAN: At this time, I will ask if there is anyone present who wishes to speak in favor of this application? GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: As the Board is aware, w~ have appeared many times before the Board. Mb~ Kw~sn~ki has ~ppeared by himself to answer questionsi~b6ut r0~s. ~r~ Frederick's fear is that Glen Road w~li b~come a public road. We can only control the total and work with What we have. The road was laid out this way b~cause i~ the event that sometime in the future the owner on Gilen Road, Wil~berg, might come to the TOwn and say "we wan~ you to make it a Town road". It might be that as Mr. Kwasneski sells the lots he will discover that the owners also want to keep the roads pri~ats. We can only control the bed of the road that we own. This will not affect whether or not Glen Road goes p~bl~c or stays private. It was done with that v~ew. If both should go public it would make sense. We have a letter approving the test holes; also a letter from the Superintendent of Highways. I am glad to hear that Mr. Frederick feels the g~neral layout is a good one. I would like to have approval to get a final map prepared so we can Submit it for signature. MR. HENRY RAYNOR: Are you prepared to come up with a name for your road? Southold Town Planning Board -15- September 18, 1973 Mr. Olsen and Mr. Kwasneski discussed a name for the road but did not make a final decision. MH. HENRY MOISA: Don't you.think it would be advisable if a little land for a turnaround was made at the park and playground? THE CHAIRMAN: I think we should discuss this with the Town Superintendent of Highways. M~. Kwasneski, do you intend to have primary access through Willow Pond Lane. Is that now a Town highway? MR. KWASNESKI: Yes. (Mr. Fredericks discussed the map with the Board. Referring to the map, he said "this is wooded; this is farmland. Grissom Lane has never been cleared out. Lot No. 33 has just been sold to Cliff Saunders of Mattituck. None of the lots have been built on). MR. COYLE: Is Glen Road a dirt road? MR. FREDERICK: It's a tarred road. THE CHAIRMAN: I will now declare the hearing closed. Rudolph Bruer, Esq. came before the Board in regard to mino~ subdivision "The Terrace" owned ~by Lucille Mosback, East Marion, New York. Mr. Wickham stated that minor sub- divisions ~are planned to alleviate hardships but when a man has four houses on the property and wants to create three me~e lots, I think we should stay with what the rules and regulations, say "having frontage on Town h.gi h~way ." We are ~et~ing more and more requests to resubdivide large lots all over ~town and/ obviously, if we want to maintain the character of the Town, we have to say "no" in cases where Edson, Esq., who also at~end~d the meeting, said that Mr. VanTuyl included the square footage in the lo~ Mr. Raynor said "you are excluding three lots that have bungalows on th " ' ~ em . Mr. Edson said that this is our problem and we just wanted to present it to you. Mr. Wickham said. that he has plenty of property but not enough frontage. The Ordinance calls for 150 foot frontage, you only have 122 feet~ Mr. Raynor said that Lot No. 4 has a problem. Southold Town Planning Board -16- September 18, 1973 Rudolph Bruer, Esq., and Mr. and Mrs. John Pontino came before the Board in regard to subdivision of John Pontino, "East Hill, Section I". Mr. Bruer said it's on existing roads and we do have water approval. Mr. Raynor asked why the park and playground are located as shown. Mr. Bruer answered that it has the most access. Mrs. Pontino said it will serve both Sections I and II as it's right in the middle. Referring to the map, Mr. Raynor said they could pick up extra square footage by "flopping it over this way". Mrs. Pontino said there will be plenty of road frontage. Mr. Raynor said there would be more square footage on the first three lots. Mrs. Pontino said this is the only way we can do it. Mr. Bruer said he would like to ask for a preliminary hearing. Mr. Wickham asked if the Board was satisfied. Mr. Moisa said that the numbers on Section II should be 8, 9, 10 etc. rather than starting with 1, 2, 3, etc. as shown on Section I. Mr. and Mrs. Pontino agreed. Mr. Bruer said that they thought the Board would like to see the whole plan. Mr. Wickham said that we are going to insist on a stamp on the final map, particularly on Section SI, that no lot in the subdivision can be resubdivided.., an engineer's stamp. Many of these are oversized lots. No lot lines may be altered. Sooner or later someone is going to say "-this is basically two lots and I want to subdivide it". Mr. Wickham said he would entertain a motion to have the preliminary hearing at the nex~ meeting of the Board. On motion of Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED that the Planning Board will hold a hearing for preliminary approval of John Pontino Subdivision, "East Hill Section I", on October 4, 1973, at the Town Office, Main Road, Southold, New York, at 7:30 P.M.

Mr. Wickham said that some of the Board had looked the property over, and they would like to postpone a decision. Mr~ Bruer said that the last time he had been before the Board on this-matter Mr. Raynor had said something about the Board requiring elevations, exact distances between buildings. Before I go to the surveyor, I would like to get all your requirements. Mr. Wickham said it would be helpful to the Board if the map showed distances and contours instead of just being a sketch. Southold Town Planning Board -17- September 18, 1973 Rudolph Bruer, Esq. came before the Planning Board with regard to Pebble Beach Realty Subdivision and requested a preliminary hearing. Considering the time lapse, a hearing is in order. Mr. Wickham said I know you had a discussion with Mr. Charles Barnett; this is in his field. He could make recommendations as to how the growth along the bluffs should be handled. Mr. Lefferts P. EdsQn was also present, and said he thought they had had some discussion with the Board before. Mr. Bruer said that there is nothing new. Mr. Wickham said that the Board would move as quickly as possible. I will entertain a motion that Pebble Beach be posted for a ~reliminary hearing at our next meeting. On-a motion by Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Raynor, it was RESOLVED - that the Planning Board will hold a hearing for preliminary approval of Pebble Beach Realty Subdivision on October 4, 1973, at the Town Office, Main Road, Southold, New York, at 7:45 P.M. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Messrs: Moisa, Raynor, Coyle, Wickham. Mr. Ray D'Augusta came before the Planning Board in regard to minor subdivision of Clifford Manning. Mr. D'Augusta said that he couldn't obtain 20 feet unless the Board approves it because he has already subdivided to a maximum. My lot is 105' x 105' Mr. Raynor asked if there was a pond that doesn't show on the map. Mr. D'Augusta said that Soundview Avenue is very hilly and the water drains into it. Mr. Coyle asked if water is there now and Mr. D'Augusta said "yes", it dires out in the winter time. The Board discussed the map and Mr. Wickham said there is nc question but what he can sell you 20 feet. Mr. D'Augusta showed the Board the 20 foot strip Mr. Manning had in mind to sell him. Mr. D'Augusta said he would like to get an additional 20 feet. Mr. Wickham said that the map would have to be redrawn in that case. Mr~ Moisa asked if Mr. Kaplan were taking the same amount as Mr. D'Augusta. Mr. D'Augus%a said "yes". Mr. Wickham said if Mr. Kaplan wanted another 20 foot strip it would be alriqht. If he doeSn't, there is no reason you could not com~ up with another 20 feet. There is more than enough frontage. Mr. Raynor said that 50 feet could be gotten out of there with no problem. Mr. D'Augusta said that Bob Kaplan will purchase the other piece along with me. Mr. Wickham said that the Board would have no objection but he would have to redraw his map. He can sell a strip off his Southold Town Planning Board -18- September 18, 1973 property to adjoining property owners without coming to the Board but in view of the fact that he has presented this as a minor subdivision and now wants to amend it, it is proper that he should present it to this Board and we will send a letter to Mr. Manning. Mr. D'Augusta asked if he could go ahead and tell Mr. Manning that it would be approved. Mr. Wickham entertained a motion to write letter of approval to Mr. Manning. On motion of Mr. Coyle, seconded by Mr. Moisa, it was RESOLVED that the Planning Board write letter to Mr. Clifford Manning with regard to minor subdivision, stating that it is permissible to subdivide the lot for a minor subdivision subject to formal application and fee; and that the Board finds that there is ample frontage to transfer 40 feet (or more) of property to Mr. D'Augusta.

There was a discussionl as location ~ the property. It was found Lane is on thei ~ast and Cedar Avenue on th~ ~ Mr. Wickham suggested ~hat if Mr. Weinstein sold this ~one else an~ ~at p~son died and left it to two s~nsi~ they might Wickham said 60,000 sq. ft. would be fine. Mr. Weinstein said hewould like to keep all the lots in the neighborhood lot is the nicest one as it has a little bit of height and a little bit of woods. Mr. Weinstein asked if he could go ahead with his test holes and go for a final map. Mr. W~ickham said to go ahead and come back to see us, you should not have any problem.
