Office, Main Road, Southold, New York.

The subdivision fee due on '~alves Neck" will be $670.
This amount is computed on the basis of a flat fee of $50.,
plus $5. per acre (3.516 A.. n 4 A.) - $20., plus 4% of a
$15,000. bond - $600. The $600. figure was computed in view
Southold Town P]~ ning Board -~ June 18, 1971
of the fact that the Town Board would not approve of a reduction
in the amount of the bond as recommended by the Planning Board.
The Town Board will require George ~[hlers to post a performance
bond of $15,000. The drainage in this subdivision was discussed
by the Planning Board and Mr. Dean, Supt. of Highways. Mr. Dean
recommended that the drainage be revised as follows: All basins
to be connected together and an overflow pipe be installed on
the 15 ft. right-of-way, so that the excess water will run to the
creek. Mr. Dean stated that he will send this recommendation to
the Planning Board in writing.
In regard to "Laurel Country Estates", Mr. Dean stated that
he recommends that beam type guard rails be placed at all spur
roads or cross roads in all subdivisions. Mr. Dean to send the
Planning Board this recommendation in writing together with speci-
fications for the guard rails.
The ~lanning Board advised Mr. Dean that his letter approving
the lay-out of the roads in the proposed subdivision "Petty's
Bight" must contain the date of the map to which the approval
applies.
The subdivision fee due on the proposed subdivision "Aquaview
Park", owned by Andrew Dzenkowski, will be $120. This fee is
computed on the basis of a flat fee of $50. plus $5. per acre
(14 A. - $70. ) A performance bond will not be required as all
roads in this subdivision are existing town ~oads~ This sub-
division is scheduled for a final hearing on July 19, 1971.
Mr. Dean informed the Planning Board that there is a drain-
age problem at Sunset Knolls, Section II. Mr. Dean stated that
he spo~e with Dick Lark recently in reference to the dddication
of the roads in Section I and Section IIof Sunset Knolls. Mr.
Lark told him that Section I is ready to be dedicated and Section
II will be ready very shortly. Mr. La~ plans on waiting for the
Southold Town Pi' ning Board -3- _~_.June 18, 1971
completion of Section II and dedicating them both at the same
time. Mr. Dean advised him to go ahead and dedicate Section I
when it is ready, not to wait for Section II, dedicate them
separately. Mr. Dean stated that he will have Larry Tuthill
make an inspection of Section I and write a letter of recom-
mendation when it is ready to be dedicated.
Mr. Dean advised the Planning Board that Reeve Bros. are
trying to get the roads ready to be dedicated in "Bennett's
Pond", subdivision located off south side of Westphalia Road,
Mattituck, N.Y. Mr. Dean stated that he will require the
following items to be completed before recommending dedication:
1. The circle in the road has to be straightened out. 2. Barri-
cades have to be put up at the cross road. 3. Several road
signs have to be erected. 4. The road has to be pa~ched in
several places, and 5. Stone has to be applied to it.
Mr. Dean also advised the Planning Board that Peconic
Homes, Inc., owners and developers of "Eastward Manor Estates",
subdivision located at S/S Main Road, Mattituck, N.Y., want to
dedicate their roads before fall of this year. Mr. Dean stated
that he has so many subdivisions that want to dedicate their
roads this year that it will upset his budget greatly.
The Planning Board discussed the proposed minor subdivision
of Peter & Irma Vignes located at S/S Naugles Drive, Mattituck,
N.Y. The Chairman recommended that determination be tabled on
this matter until they complete the sale on their house on the
adjoining lot, which was shown on the map but was left unnumbered.
Also the Planning Board will require that the proposed right-of-
way be 25 ft. in width, not 15 ft. as shown on the map.
On motion by Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Wickham, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board send the
following two letters:
Southold Town P3"-'~'~ning Board -4- nne 18, 1971
Steve Mitacchione
Northside Road
Wading River, New York
Dear Mr. Mitacchione:
In regard to your appearance at the meeting of the Planning
Board on June 14, 1971, please be advised that the Planning
Board has taken the following action:
From evidence presented it appears that you have not dredged
any upland, and therefore are not in violation of the Pules
and Regulations for the Subdivision of Land.
As was further explained to you, you will probably present an
application for a minor subdivision at some time in the future
and at that time the Planning Board will forward the application
to the Soil & Water Conservation District for suggestions as to
sloping and seeding the waterfront.
We appreciate your cooperation in the matter.
Very sincerely,
cc- Town Trustees
Supervisor
Town Attorney
John Wickham, Chairman
Southold Town Planning Board
Christian E. Rasmussen
Beebe Drive
Cutchogue, New York
Dear Mr. RasmussenA
It would appear that you are very substantially in violation
of the Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision of Land which
have been in effect in this Town for some years. I refer in
particular to the dredging of meadow land on your property at
Eugene's Road, Cutchogue, New York.
I should like to point out that although I believe you have
a permit from the Town Trustees for this dredging, you have
no~ filed for a permit with this Board.
Southold Town P]f'~lning Board -5- June 18, 1971
I would like to point out further that under existing regulations
you are well within your rights to engage in dredging and filling
on your own property where there is no anticipation of selling or
further subdividing. However, it is the contention of this Board
that most filling and dredging of wetlands is done in anticipation
of sale or subdivision.
This letter, then, is serving notice that by your actions you
have seriously compromised any subdivision or any sale toward
the purpose of subdivision.
We would be happy to discuss this further with you or your attorne~
and feel that this is a very important matter.
Very sincerely,
cc - Town Trustees
Supervisor
Town Attorney
John Wickham, Chairman
Southold Town Planning Board
The Planning Board reviewed again the proposed "Wetlands
Ordinance."
On motion by Mr. Wickham, seconded by Mr. Moisa, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board send the
following letter to the Southold Town Board:
Southold Town Board
16 South Street
Greenport, New York
Gentlemen:
Ptease be advised that the Southold Town Planning Board
reviewed the revised proposed "Wetlands Ordinance" at a
special meeting held on June 18, 1971. A public hearing
is scheduled to be held on June 29, 1971 in reference to
this matter.
The Southold Town Planning Board hereby objects to the
adoption of the revised proposed Wetlands Ordinance on
the following grounds:
Southold Town Pl~.ning Board -6- June 18, 1971
1. There is no provision for the Planning Board to review
the applications.
2. There are not enough copies of applications, maps, or
other information required to make a complete file for the'
Building Inspector, Town Clerk, Town Trustees, Planning
Board, Board of Appeals, or Town Board to sonsider the work
or issue permits on.
3. There is too much latitude in case of a violation.
4. There are no elevations to work from, above or below
highwater mark.
5. More help will be needed to enforce it.
6. There is no provision for preserving any of the fresh
water areas.
7. There is no provision to preserve the wetlands by size of
lot - small lots, large parcels.
8. There is no permit required to repair anything (docks, bulk-
heading, dikes, sloughing of canals, etc.)
The Planning Board's main objection is that this ordinance
makes no attempt to actually preserve the wetlands.
Respectfully submitted,
John Wickham, Ch~rman
Southold Town Planning Board
