PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 p.m. - Verity, David - This proposal is for a standard subdivision of a 1.32-acre
parcel into two lots where Lot 1=0.60 acres (26,340 sq. ft.) and Lot 2 =0.71 acres
(31,057 sq. ft.) in the R-40 Zoning District. The property is located on the north corner
of the intersection of Nakomis Road & Hiawatha's Path, Southold. SCTM#1000-78-3-26
Donald Wilcenski: At this time, I would like to ask anyone from the audience if they
would like to speak on behalf of David Verity.
Patricia Moore on behalf of the Verity family: This is an application to subdivide and it
is two parcels with two dwellings; on a smaller cottage and the other one a separate
house. These properties were first acquired from the Wickham developer in the 1940's.
One of the lots was purchased first; the second lot was purchased and unfortunately
the deed was never recorded. The County and Town records reflected this all as one
parcel, whereas the Verity family believed they had two lots with two houses on them.
So, we are cleaning up the old title history here and subdivision; we have received a
Zoning Board approval to place the property line more appropriately separating
between the two cottages or dwellings, and we are completing our subdivision review
process so that way we can have the two parcels identified on separate lots. If there
are any questions, I'd be happy to address them. Thank you.
Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Does anybody from the Planning Board have any
questions for Pat Moore? Does anybody from the audience have anything to add or to
address the Planning Board on the issue of David Verity?
Hearing none...
James Rich: Mr. Chairman, I will make a motion to close the hearing.
Kenneth Edwards: Second.

6:02 p.m. - Peconic Land Trust, Inc. Greenhouses - This proposed site plan is for
two 16' x 24' (384 sq. ft.) greenhouses for agricultural use on a 21-acre (TDR) parcel in
the R-80 Zoning District. The property is located at 3005 Youngs Avenue, +1/4 mile
south of Middle Road, Southold. SCTM#1000-63-1-25.3 & 4
Donald Wilcenski: At this time, I would like to ask the audience if anyone would like to
address the Planning Board. Please step to the podium, state your name and write it
for the record.
Carol Bertsch: I am a resident of Founders Village who will be directly impacted by
these greenhouses. Thank you for allowing me to speak. Founders Village was
developed about the same time as the formation of Peconic Land Trust: the early to
mid-1980's. We, especially those homeowners that border the property, have tried to
be good neighbors and support the goals and efforts of the Peconic Land Trust. Many
individuals, and the Founders Village Homeowners Association as a whole, have
contributed to Peconic Land Trust. We are familiar with the Right-to-Farm Code and
understand that you may put the greenhouses there. We are not here with attorneys or
experts; we are asking as good neighbors for Peconic Land Trust to locate the
greenhouses elsewhere. In our common interest, as expressed in the Peconic Land
Trust's Mission and Core Value Statement: "Be fair, respectful and just to all within our
diverse communities and balance the rights of the individual with the interests of the
public." We are a community of 92 families. There are 10 families who immediately
border the area where the greenhouses are supposed to be located. Not one family--
10 families--who will be negatively impacted. The proposed location appears to be
within 60' of the back patio of Founders Village residents. As good neighbors and as a
courtesy to these residents, we respectfully request that these greenhouses be
relocated. Our concerns are as follows: Noise: most greenhouses have motors that
power heating, cooling, lights, pumps and fans. We are concerned that a generator
would power them. But any motor would be very noisy; and in a wind of over five mph
the plastic is going to flap and be loud. Odor. most greenhouses use fertilizer and
(inaudible) pesticides. Our concern is that the odor will migrate over to the neighbors.
Southold Town Planninq Board Page Five July 9, 2012
Light: most greenhouses prolong growing time by lighting into the late evening, which
will impact the bedrooms of the residents facing these greenhouses. Irrigation: the
sound of irrigation pumps day or night will also impact us. Drainage: according to be
submitted plans, there will be a 15% angle slope away from the greenhouses. We are
concerned that because of the proximity of the barn to these greenhouses, most of the
drainage will be directed toward the Founders Village property.
We don't care if it's a greenhouse or any other structure, it's just too close to the
people's patios. We respectfully request another location be found. I want to thank
you and I want to thank all the Founders residents who came out to support our joy in
retirement lifestyle. Thank you.
Donald Wilcenski: Thank you very much. Yes? Please state and write your name.
Kimbedy Quarty, Peconic Land Trust: We are here to seek approval to erect two
greenhouses on the property and, as Ms. Bertsch did state, we do try to be good
neighbors. To address some of your concerns, I would just like to put your mind at
ease to let you know that we are not going to be operating the greenhouse on
generators. There will be some electric, but it will be minimal. We will have lighting, but
you have to understand these greenhouses will only be used for maybe a few months
out of the year. It will be very Iow impact. We are not going to have lights running at
night. There will be a ventilation fan in there--it's like a regular fan, not more than
something like this. So that impact will be very Iow. The odor: there's really not going
to be any additional odor close to anything they've already been experiencing. If there
is something inside the greenhouse, the smell would most likely be contained in the
greenhouse. There will be no irrigation pump. The irrigation we would be using for the
greenhouse would be off the hoses that are from a well. I understand too that they do
have concerns that it might impact their vista and they don't want to have to look at
something like that. So we've decided that if they'd like, we will put up a buffer; we will
plant a hedge row or some shrubs so they don't have to look at that. We'd be happy to
address any other concerns that the Board might have.
Donald Wilcenski: Anyone from the Board have any questions at this time?
William Cremers: I'd like to know if these are glass or are they in fact plastic?
Kimberl¥ Quarty: They are plastic.
Donald Wilcenski: Anybody else? Thank you. Please state your name again.
Southold Town Planninq Board Pa.qe Six July 9, 2012
Carol Bertsch, Founders Village Resident: I will be negatively impacted. The picture of
the greenhouse shows them to be open, so we feel that there will be an odor coming
out of there. We have a landscaping budget. We have to try very hard to keep within
our budget. Any kind of hedge would have to be really tall to block, because I
understand the greenhouses are 12' high. It does close off--the backyards where we
are that will be directly impacted are very close to this. We just don't understand why
they can't be located somewhere else. They have over 20 acres of property. This
seems to be crammed right on top of us. A fan is a fan. It makes noise. You are
talking about elderly people in some cases. I would respectfully ask what is minimal
impact? Thank you.
Donald Wilcenski: I have a question. Klm, I would like to ask: has your group
entertained other areas on the property?
Kimberly Quarty: We have. And actually we are limited to that general area because
the development rights have been sold on the majority of the parcel. So, there is just
the development area around the barn--it's called agricultural structure area.
Historically, agricultural structures have been in that area. There is another area on the
property--a development area at the far corner which would be stuck out in the middle
of nowhere. This would be close to our agricultural barn and it would make more sense
for the farm as a whole and for educational programs. We can situate the greenhouses
so that they are closest to the barn and farthest from the property line and try to keep it
as far away as we possibly can, but we really need to keep it in the development area.
Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Does anybody else from the audience or any other
Board members or staff have any questions or comments?
Ellen Corwin, resident of Founders Villa,q~.: I'd like to ask a little bit more about
agricultural structure area #2 which is on Horton's Lane. Why that wouldn't be another
possible option for it. Although it is a little further away--I'm not sure what the use of
the greenhouses will be. Also, what would be the problem with putting it behind the
barn? If you are only-as I understand-looking to put up one at this time--wouldn't it fit
behind the barn where it would not be so visible.
Donald Wilcenski: Would you like to answer, please? Thank you.
Kimberl¥ Quarty: The agricultural structure area #2, which is located on Horton's
Lane--like I said; it doesn't make a lot of sense with our farm program. The property is
fenced. We lease it to other farmers and that area is fenced in and is currently being
farmed. The development area that we have now has been cut out of the farming area
and it makes more sense with our educational programs to have it right there next to
the barn. This way we can allow the fenced area to be actively farmed as a whole, and
we don't have to take anything else out of production.
Southold Town Planninq Board Page Seven July 9, 2012
Donald Wilcenski: OK, thank you.
Ellen Corwin: Just a follow-up; I didn't hear you address why it couldn't be put behind
the barn or on the other side of the barn. That's still in your area #1 there..
Kimberly Quarty: That could be a consideration. I don't know how far away it is from
the fencing, but that's something that we could look at.
Donald Wilcenski: OK. I think if--I'm not sure how much time--but if you do have
some time, would you be willing to come in and sit down with staff and look at those
areas?
Kimberl¥ Quarry: Sure, absolutely.
Donald Wilcenski: With that, I think we could make some common ground here with
everyone if you are willing to come in and sit down. Thank you. Does anybody else
have any comments?
Gloria Izzo: I am here because I am living behind the pumps now. That pump goes on
all day and all night. Sometimes the fumes from wherever they come from are in the
house. It was there before I moved there, so I know I have to accept it. But to put
another one close by--they're gonna get the water from that same pump. It seems to
me that it's very inconsiderate. That's all I have to say.
Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Does anybody else have more comments? Yes, sir?
John Abele, Founders Village: I have been a big supporter of Peconic Land Trust since
it was set up, and I'm really surprised that they are doing this particular project. This
land was dedicated as open space and they are going to put structures up on it.
Putting structures on open space to me seems a little contradiction in terms. I also
think the location is bad. Here again, you have open space where structures are going
to be visible from Youngs Avenuo people will be saying: "Where is the Open Space--
we have structures instead?" We also don't know how long these buildings are going to
be there. The area where I lived formerly, my next door neighbor put up a plastic
garage, apparently being a temporary building which didn't need a permit. That was ten
years ago and it's still there. I'm afraid that's what's going to happen with these
buildings if they go up, and I trust they will not. Thank you.
Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Yes?
Southold Town Planninq Board Pa,qe Eight July 9, 2012
Bernice Melly, Founders Villa.qe resident: I would just suggest that before the Board
makes a decision, it might behoove you to drive past this particular development.
There is a section presently that abuts Youngs Avenue, which is devoted to individual
farming plots. Some of our residents actually utilize this area. To think that we are
trying to avoid agriculture--that isn't the point at all. The point is, Peconic Land Trust
has for years and years stressed open spaces. I am a former property owner in
another location and I am very familiar with Peconic Land Trust. What we are asking
for is just an adjustment--that's all. Presently there is this agricultural section as I just
said. We are just asking--don't eliminate their plans--but move them someplace else.
I really think in the essence of the principles of Peconic Land Trust, this would be in
their interest as well as ours. Thank you.
Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Just to remind everyone again, Ms. Quarty has
acknowledged that she would come in and talk to staff about the possibility of looking at
other locations. With that said, does anybody else have anything to add? Yes?
Dorothy Boyle, Founders Village: I am curious--if you review her plans and she
decides to move them, would you hold another hearing where we can find out what's
going on?
Donald Wilcenski: We could leave this hearing open; that's probably what we will do.
Dorothy Boyle: Thank you.
Donald Wilcenski: Would anybody else like to add to the minutes?
Kenneth Edwards: You can be assured that all your comments are well taken and will
be reviewed.
Donald Wilcenski: Could I have a motion to leave this hearing open?
Kenneth Edwards: So moved.
James Rich: Second.
Donald Wilcenski: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor?
Ayes.
Donald Wilcenski: Motion carries. Thank you all very much for coming in. Thanks you,
Ms. Quarty for answering questions.
Southold Town Planninq Board Pa.qe Nine July 9, 2012
6:04 p.m. - T-Mobile NE at LIPA - This site plan is to upgrade and maintain a wireless
facility with equipment area on an existing utility pole. The antennas are mounted on
the exterior of the pole at a height of 84' on an 8.3-acre site in the LB (Business) Zoning
District. The property is located at 69685 NYS Route 25, -+500' w/o Chapel Lane in
Greenport. SCTM#1000-45-1-14.1
Donald Wilcenski: At this time I would like to ask anyone from the audience to step to
the podium and please state your name and write your name for the record and
address the Board.
Lawrence R6, Esq. of R6, Nielsen, Huber & Coughlin for the applicant: Good evening,
Mr. Chairman and members of the Board. As the Board knows, this is an application to
maintain a site that was established by T-Mobile back in 1997 at the substation on the
north side of Main Road just west of Greenport. The site has been there for about 15
years. With respect to the application, we filed a pretty voluminous grouping of
materials that fully describe the application. In addition to those materials, I have an
appraisal consulting report prepared by Michael Lynch that addresses the effect of the
site on property values and concludes that there is no effect. I'd like to hand that up if I
may. As you know, the Zoning Board of Appeals has granted a height variance with
respect to the exterior flush mounted antennas and a variance with respect to the
distance to residential property. I brought with me, as you can see, a number of experts
in various fields: Neil MacDonald from William F. Collins Architects, the firm that
prepared the plans with respect to this application; Donna Marie Skipo, who prepared
the visual analysis that was previously filed; Dave Collins, who prepared the report that
addresses the emissions from the site; and Udaya Malikarjunnapa, the radio frequency
engineer whose group prepared the propagation maps with respect to this. If the Board
has any questions of any of those witnesses, I'd be happy to bring them up. Or, if they
have questions in general of me.
Donald Wilcenski: Does any of the Board members or staff have any questions for any
of the experts or the consultants that are here? Like Ken said, we have been through
this process before and we appreciate you guys traveling out here with all your
information; you've done a tremendous amount of work. But we feel that we have
enough information with staff in our office to determine our findings. With that, unless
someone else has something to add-- anybody from Board or staff have any questions?
None? Thank you very much.
Jim Rich: I make a motion to close the hearing.
Kenneth Edwards: Second.
Donald Wilcenski: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor?
Southold Town Planninq Board Page Ten July 9, 2012
Ayes.
