Laurelwood Estates. He presented four (4) prints
showing Plan and Profile of Roads in "~aurelwood
Estates". Mr. Young said the roads do got vary greatly

catch basins would be needed to take care of the water.
Mr. Young said he thought four more catch basins with
three rings and a dome, and have the existing ones
cleaned out would do it.
THE CHAIRMAN: The hearing for the subdivision
entitled Land's End at Orient Point was recessed some
time ago because the file was not complete. It is
now complete. I will reconvene the hearing. It
does non require a legal notice. The file is now
complete. The subdivision has met the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance and the rules and regulations for
the subdivision of land. I will limit any statements
to a simple statement that anyone is for it or against
it. Does anyone wish to speak in opposition to the
subdivision Land's End? (There was no response.)
Does anyone wish to speak in favor of the subdivision
Land's End? (There was no response.) I will declare
the hearing closed with a note that the file is complete.
Lefferts P. Edson, Esq. and Messrs. Haberman and
Donouan came before the Board and pre~nted preliminary
plans and application for Pebble Beach R~alty subdivision
~t E~St Mari~n for approval. Mr. Haberman said they
know the submission for preliminary approval must be
made two weeks prior to a meeting. The plans are in
accordance with the Subdivision ~egula~i~ns and Zoning
Ordinance. Mr. Haberman said they have met with the
Soil Conservation Department and have not elected to
proceed in the direction they suggested since it is
not official. The Chairman said the'Board is concerned
with %he distance back from the ~op of the bluff, and
the f~D~tage of. the lots on the two loops. T~.~ should
be a re'striction on all shore front lots that no under-
cover or trees can be removed and everything must drain
back away from the bluff. The Planning Commission was
talking about 70 feet setback from the top of the bluff.
This is what the Planning Board had in mind When the
proposal was first brought up. A restriction wo~ld go
on the filed map that no structure would be buil~ in
front of the Setback line.

Mr. Haberman said the s~bdivision is 260 lots
and 163 acres, based on half acre zoning with sewer
and water. The property was purchased by Pebble
Beach Realty last November. The Board informed them
the maps would be sent to the Suffolk County Planning
Commission, but the Planning Board had not yet granted
Preliminary ApproVal. The Board also asked what
percentage of the total area was for park and playground
and Mr. Haberman said approximately 2 1/2%. The Board
informed them the requirements may well change before
this gets to a final hearing. The Town Attorney has
said that a subdivision must be incconformity w~th
the rules and ~regUlations at the time of the final
hearing, and the Town Attorney has also approved for
public hearing the proposed amendments to the rules
and regulations for the subdivision of land, including
a 5% requirement for park and playground. Mr. Haberman
asked what the Board felt about ~he concept for highways
as designed by the Soil and Water Conservation Department.
The Board informed Mr. Haberman that they were kept posted
on the tentative design and is interested in it, bu~ did
not think it would be adopted as a standard for street
design. It would have to be at the express request of
the developer because there has to be deed restrictions
and covenants so that the easement is maintained. It
is also estimated that this method ~s more expensive
that the present method with curbs and gutters.
Rudolph Bruer, Esq., presented a revised map for
a proposed minor subdivision for Addrew Hahn at Peconic,
showing only three lots. The last lot,#3 will be
Mr. Hahn's residence. The Board told Mr. Bruer there is
still the problem of length to width ratio. The Board
wall hold the map for further discussion.

approximately 90 feet from high water. The Board
also inquired as to what he plans to do with the
existing fresh wauer pond. Mr. Levin said he plans
to do some landscaping around it. Mr. Levin also
said the porch on the north side of the building
would extend 8 feet out from the building, but not
extend over the Dluff. The Board asked Mr. Levin
if he could get flood plain insurance and he ~aid
he could but it was expensive.

(Gr~enpo~ Homes) and associates a~peare~ before

The Board inquired about facilities for handicapped.
Mr. Olsen said there will be two apartments provided
near the laundry room building. That building, and all
the buildings will be wood framed, but there won't be
any gasoline stored. The Board said some access should
be made for the surplus parking area near the railroad
tracks for the rest of the area. The Board agreed to
permit a breezeway between the buildings in this area
for access to the parking area. It will be a roofed
over breezeway. The plans will be sent to the County
Planning Commission for final review.
Mr. Frank Knispel presented the site plan for the
proposed parking area for Anchor Inn at Mattituck.
The Board told Mr, Knispel the Sand and Gravel Ordinance

Mr, ~Knisp~i said ~he cost would be very high, although
he would liks to keep it in a natural' state. The Board
suggested sending the map to the Soil and Water Conservation
District for their comments on retaining the slope.
Mr.~ .Knispel said he would take a copy of the map to them
the next day and the Chairman said he.would call and let
them know he was coming.
