Mr. Martin Graemlich and Mr. Henry Graemlich of Greenway
Realty Corp. appeared before the~Planning Board to discuss their
p~oposed subdivision to be known as Green Acres at-Orient. There
was a lengthy discussion relative to drainage problems and also
a road ending atthe water. After a thorough discussion the follow-
ing was arrived at in the matter of Green Acres at Orient, map by.
'Otto W. Van Tuyl dated April 11, 1961 and revised April 14, 1961and
May 29, 1961. The Planning Board insisted and the owners agreed
that there would be a 100 ft. turn-aroUnd at the-Sound and it will
be on the easterly edge of land presently in the area marked'~or
residents only" on the map. In addition, the owners suggested a
flush leachinq area in conjunction with a landsc~ing project
adjacent to Route 25 on the West side of Greenwayl'East. Finally,
there was agreement between the-Planning Board, the owners and
the Superintendent of Highways Price of~a drainage area of at
least 150 ft. on the westerly line, including parts of lots 12
and 13 and the drainage area on'the east side to include at least
actual pond area and take in all of lot 31 and all of the lot
marked "pa~k". The Planning Board approved the layout of the
map subject only to the receipt~of~a new map showing the above-
mentioned changes.
Mr. Joseph Snellenberg and Mr. Julius zebroski appeared before
the Planning Board-to discuss propertyowned byMr. Zebroski at
Bayview Road, S~thold. Mr. Snellenberg advised that he had made
application to th~ Boardrof~Appeals for~'approval of~access to a
lot owned by'Mr. Leslie Gazzola but it was denied because there
had been no hardship shown, nom was the requested access to a
lot owned entirely by Mr. Gazzola, it.was to a larger area than
~Mr. Gazzola owned. Mr. Sneltenberg stated that at'the present
Southold Town Planning Board -3-
June 6, 1961
time there is an agreementbetween the owners of the lots purchased
from Mr. Zebroski to deed them back to Mr. Zebroski so that he may
redivide them with largerarea. After considerable discussion
relative to the possibility of an. Open Development Area or whether
Mr. Zebroski should file for a subdivision when the land is all
deeded back to him, the following was the Planning Board's deter-
mination: The Board is willing to accept four lots but are not
going out on a limb against the Board of~Appeals, and the Board
of'Appeals is apparently insisting that the lots are in the name
of Zebroski, or at.least in legal agreement and this appears to
the'Planning Board to be reasonable. Following this line of think-
ing the Planning Board would like to see a complete realignment
of lots with an engineers map and property owners agreement to go
with it. It would then seem to the Planning Board that Since the
Board of~Appeals have granted access on one side of'the road
perpendicular to Bayview Road which parenthically we find was
not cut in until long after the effective date o'fZoning, but
nevertheless ha~ing been granted access on one side ofthis road
to one owner the Board of Appeats cannot well refuse another.
When and if they are straightened out and this would leave not
more than 'four lots which the Planning Board can and would be
willing to handle.
Mr. Van Tuyl brought up the matter or'Orient-By-The-Sea,
Section 2. .Mr. Uhl is in the process of selling lot No. 52 and
the proposed 100 ft. road to the Sound to the adjoining property
owner Millis. He would like to change the road to the~Sound to
Lot No.~44~which is also 100 ft. wide and adjoining the previous
proposed road.
On'motion of Mr. Grebet seconded by Mr. Young, it was
RESOLVED tha~tthePtanning Board is in agreement-with the
pr~posal by Walter Uhl to change the proposed 100 ft. road to
the~Sound %~ Lot No. 44 on map of'Orient-By-The-Sea, Section 2,
dated May.t0, 1961, by'Otto W. Van Tuyl & Son.
