SCTM#1000-122-3-1.4 Jim Rich: Anyone wishing to address the Board, please step forward, state your name and write it down. Jim Roache, 600 Johns Road, Mattituck: Our property touches the applicant's property. On the tax map, it shows a right-of-way on the west side of our property. It does not exist. I've got a letter from 2005 (inaudible). Heather Lanza: Does it have anything to do with this application, sir? The right-of-way that you are mentioning? Jim Roache: (inaudible) Heather Lanza: Anything outside the lines of the site plan wouldn't affect any legal rights of anybody. And if you want to get that removed from the tax map, I think you'd speak to the Assessors Department. Jim Roache: My second concern is (inaudible) The house to the left of me (inaudible) 11-1/2 feet. We used to get water just from the back, now we get it from two different sides because (inaudible) Southold Town Planning Board Page Fourteen May 5, 2014 Jim Rich: Your comments will be recorded and will be reviewed by the Planning Board at this point. We don't respond to them as a Board. Thank you. Tom Luniewski, next door to Jim Roache at 470 Johns Road, Mattituck: I'm not sure what this whole project is about, but I have 230' of waterfront property. Where I wanted to put my dock, they told me I couldn't put it there because it would interfere with this and that, (inaudible) I needed to put it all the way to Village Marine. Now I look at this thing here and I was told you're only allowed one floating dock, 6'x40' per piece of property. So now I find out that the property next to me wants to put a floating dock three or four times the size of mine when there's only one piece of property that already has it. So I don't understand how you can take a not waterfront piece of property and make it into a waterfront piece of property. That's my concern. Jim Rich: Again, this is a public hearing; we take your comments, but I would comment that the map here shows that the dots be removed because that's the jurisdiction of Southold Town Trustees, not the Planning Board. They are an elected body. Again, it's just a jurisdiction that they have; we do not. Tom Luniewski: Another thing, too, about this alleged right-of-way. The right-of-way that's on this map--which I have a letter right here saying that doesn't exist--starts from my kitchen door and goes to the property of Mr. Roache. So that shouldn't be there. Somebody is gonna spend all this money to have a subdivision done who doesn't even research to find out that doesn't belong there. What else is wrong? As far as when I bought my house, I own the right-of-way, which is Johns Road. They made me build my house 55' from—not my property line-55' from the right of way. So, I want to make sure that anything that gets built on this private (inaudible) is the right distance from the alleged right-of-way—not from the property line of Jim's house and my house. I want everbody to do the same thing that I had to do here. Jim Rich: Again, it's not for us necessarily to comment. But I would say that as a practice—and I don't know what year you built your house—but now the Building Department just from an information standpoint--requires a foundation to be secondarily located by a licensed land surveyor before construction is allowed to begin. That's just to protect people from foundations being in the wrong spot and things like that. But your comments...and if I could just get your name? Thomas Luniewski. I don't have an address out here that I can be reached at: 19 Dewine Street, Bayshore, NY, 11706. My cellphone: 631 839-3675. Do you want to see a copy of this right-of-way thing? Heather Lanza: I just want to point out that we have a newer tax map up on our screen here, and that little right-of-way is gone. It seems like the newer maps are already excluding it, so we will have to have this map updated so it doesn't show it anymore. Southold Town Planning Board Page Fifteen May 5, 2014 Thomas Luniewski: Can I just go up there and point to something? Heather Lanza: Sure. Take this laser pointer. Thomas Luniewski: This is where the alleged people walkway is gonna be—right here. Right? Now on this property line--this is what my concern is--I want whatever is gonna be built over here—there's the dock right there—they wanna put a dock right here, which is way too close. You gotta follow the setback—the right-of-way property line should be right over here. Now I see this takes away that right-of-way. But it should be on all the paperwork that we got in the mail. But, again, there's my dock over here— there's where I wanted my dock. They told me you can't put the dock there because it's gonna interfere with everything. So these people wanna put the dock right where I wanted to put mine. This I don't understand. They've got a dock already. One dock per piece of property. That's what the DEC, the CAC and Town Board of Trustees told us. So, you know, obviously you can't do anything now, but I'm just.... Jim Rich: Again, not to get into a back-and-forth on this, but we have asked that the dock be removed from this because we consider it the responsibility of the Trustees to locate and approve any docks. They are elected officials. So your comments are appreciated, they are recorded. Again, we do not approve any docks under any circumstances anyway—that's the Board of Trustees. Thomas Luniewski: I have no problem with the subdivision itself. But you can't take one waterfront house and then subdivide it into five waterfront houses unless you let somebody else do it. Why can't this guy over here put five floating docks on his and then get one for each of his (inaudible)? Thank you. Jim Rich: Thank you. Does anyone else wish to address the Board? William C. Goggins, 13235 Main Road, Mattituck, NY for the applicant: We appreciated the comments of the people who spoke already. With regards to Mr. Roache, any house that's built will be built (inaudible) standards. As the Board said, any dock that would be permitted have to go through the Trustees as well as the DEC. So all their concerns will be alleviated by the proper Boards. Thank you. Jim Rich: Thanks, Bill. Anyone else? Can I get a motion to close the hearing, then? William Cremers: So moved. Martin Sidor: Second. Jim Rich: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor? Southold Town Planning Page Sixteen May 5, 2014 Martin Sidor, Pierce Rafferty, Bill Cremers, Jim Rich: Ayes. Jim Rich: Motion carries. This hearing is closed. I will return the Chairmanship to Don. 6:04 p.m. - Peconic Landing - This amended site plan is for the proposed construction of two new buildings at Peconic Landing, an existing continuing care retirement community with 118 cottages, 132 apartments, 24 assisted living and 32 skilled nursing beds currently. The additions include: an 87,426 sq. ft. apartment building with 46 apartments and a parking garage; and a 35,543 sq. ft. nursing home with 33 beds, including a reconfiguration of the parking lot on 144 acres in the Hamlet Density Zoning District. The property is located at 1205 NYS Route 25, 1,121' east of Sound Road, Greenport. SCTM#1000-35-1-25 Donald Wilcenski: Jim Rich is recusing himself from this application. Before I ask the audience to address the Board, I just want to remind everyone that all questions and comments should be addressed to the Board and not to other people in the seating area. Also, I would like to make a note that we have received several letters from emergency agencies and neighbors that are in the file. Not to be redundant, but you all have the right to speak in this open forum, and I'll start from this side of the room. Would anybody on this side of the room like to address the Board? Mr. Cuddy? Please state and write your name for the record. Charles Cuddy for the applicant Peconic Landing in Southold Inc. which is known as Peconic Landing: Good evening. Fourteen years ago, this Board approved what is now there, which is that 250-unit complex of apartments and cottages. Tonight, as you indicated, we are looking for a proposed expansion of 46 apartments and 17 skilled nursing units and 16 memory care units. Tonight, I have Tom Wolpert, who is the site plan preparer with me. There are a number of people here who are both trustees of Peconic Landing and directors and officers of Peconic Landing. Later on, Bob Syron, who is the President and CEO, will introduce them to you. He will also speak. I am pleased to say that there are a number of residents of Peconic Landing here also. This is important to all of us that we are able to get this approved. I will tell you—and I think you are aware—that the Town Trustees have given us a letter of no jurisdiction. The DEC has also given us a letter of no jurisdiction. We have appeared before the Architectural Review Committee and I believe they are pleased with what we've done. We have these units now pre-sold. The significance of that is that the State requires it, and our lenders are very happy that we sold them. So we have 26—and actually more, if we could sell them--units that are sold at this time. That's a very significant thing to have been done at this point in time. I would point out to you that since Peconic Landing has been open, they have paid more than ten million dollars to the Town in Southold Town Planning Board Page Seventeen May 5, 2014 Real property taxes. Five million of that has gone to Greenport schools—actually it was more than five million. This new complex will add another $200,000 per year to the tax revenues for the Town. I think you should also be aware that Peconic Landing is a significant community amongst all life care communities in the country. It's one of 10% that's an accredited life care community. That's a rare thing to happen. We also have the privilege of having a skilled nursing facility that is not just good—it's one of the very best in the entire country. Every year it's rated by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best. This site has become a cultural site for the North Fork. Particularly, Brecknock Hall--which is a key as you come into Peconic Landing--has become the cultural center. That was renovated at the request of this Board. We've kept it just as it was, and I think it's significant to note that. I will also tell you that we have 220 employees—many of them from Southold. Then we'll add an additional 40 employees with these new units. So what I'm here to say is: I think—in the grand scheme— Peconic Landing is a significant contributor to the Town of Southold. There have been at times a concern about one drawback—that is, with the EMTs. We note that. But this Saturday, we are going to run the Main Mile, which is something we do every year to contribute to the Greenport FD. That's a segue to introduce to you Bob Syron, who is the CEO and President of Peconic Landing. Thank you. Donald Wilcenski: Thank you Mr. Cuddy. Bob Syron, President and CEO, Peconic Landing: I actually live at 180 Marina Lane, East Marion. We do know we have an issue with the number of calls to Peconic Landing. When I came here ten years ago, we had a bit of a contentious relationship with the Greenport FD because of the number of calls and because of the lack of cooperation between Peconic Landing and the Greenport FD. Over these past ten years, we have built a very close relationship. What we have is working with the past (inaudible). We set up the Main Mile and the Main Mile has contributed over $136,000 to Greenport FD. That's all well and good, but we understand there is an issue with calls. But it's not Peconic Landing's issue. It is a Town of Southold issue. And I'll tell you why that is. In the Town of Southold you have a huge second home market. People retire out here—we all know the demographics—they're older than the rest of Suffolk County as well as the United States. So we are seeing an increased demand for EMS services all through Southold and naturally through Suffolk County. Myself and Darryl Volinski have been working with Tom Lavolier, the Director of EMS Services for Suffolk County, in trying to create solutions to reduce the number of calls and support the Greenport FD at the same time. We realize that the Chief Council sent a letter. My understanding is it's specifically with regard to mutual aid calls. With regard to those mutual aid calls, we have had East Marion and, on a rare occasion--I think four times-- Southold FD show up for calls. So we started meeting with the Greenport FD well in advance, because they are a planning organization. Our first meeting was June 20 last year in preparation for the expansion. Southold Town Planning Board Page Eighteen May 5, 2014 The Greenport FD set up a special committee of wardens and the acting Chief, and we started looking at processes to improve Greenport. During this approach, we determined that it was not enough to just address Peconic Landing's issues with EMS, but it was more important to address a greater issue—that was the aging out of EMS personnel in the Greenport district. I believe a lot of FDs are starting to see this. We're not seeing youth come into the FDs. I often joke if I go to 7:00 mass at St. Agnes, generally my son and I are the youngest people in the church. That's something that's going on within the FD as well. So we looked at a plan as to how we reduce the mutual aid calls and reduce calls in general. We're not really sure we can reduce the calls, because Peconic Landing is an aging community. But there are a couple of interesting statistics you should know. This goes along with the aging of the North Fork in general. Of the Peconic Landing residents—this is for independent only, not skilled nursing or assisted living—we've had 161 residents come to Peconic Landing for independent living from the Town of Southold. Only 20 of those are from the Village of Greenport. 141 residents have come from other districts—Mattituck, East Marion, Cutchogue, Shelter Island—and have moved to Peconic Landing thereby lessening the burden on the other departments but actually increasing the burden for the Greenport FD. So we worked out a plan; I have a letter I'd like to give you today that's between Peconic Landing and the Greenport FD. Charles Cuddy, our attorney, is going to draw up a legal document--because that's something the Chief Counsel asked for in their letter— with what Peconic Landing is required to do to help this process along. I will tell you that Peconic Landing absolutely depends on the Greenport FD. We are truly grateful for the service it provides for us. We feel whatever we can do—not only for them, but for the greater community we reside in—that is a paramount issue we need to address. So, based upon that, I'm going to address a few issues with you that we look to move forward. Currently right now—and I'm going to hit a couple of statistics in a second— we have an agreement in principle in a letter from me to Chief Breeze as to what Peconic Landing plans to do. This will help Greenport Village as well. We are moving to incorporate two EMT's on every single shift at Peconic Landing. We are in the process of recruiting EMT's; we currently have four that work there now. Our plan is to have three EMT's to work on Peconic Landing property at all times. But it's gonna take time to get there. So we did a drive among employees at Peconic Landing and we have 38 people signed up who are interested in possibly becoming EMT's. Now we know most of those folks will wash out; we are also going to put requirements in our security positions and we believe we will train ten EMT's in the next class the Town (inaudible) set up in Southold. How will that help the Village? Those EMT's will be able to respond off the property to the Village of Greenport as well. The Village of Greenport's Wardens Committee and the Chief also agreed we want to reduce the number of mutual aid calls, and this will help do that into the future. So this will be put into a document; I already have a letter stating that we plan to do that. 50% of our calls to Greenport properties happen during the hours of 9-5. We currently have four EMT's Southold Town Planninq Board Page Nineteen May 5, 2014 working between the hours of 9-5. What people may not realize is all the real calls--we have EMT's on the property, and the Fire Department knows that—the EMT's don't have to go off our property and leave their work because we have EMT's there as well. So, this is something we are working with (inaudible) but obviously they (inaudible) believe that they can (inaudible). The real issue they talked to us about was not only the aging of the EMT population, but with the age of the EMT population, people don't want to get up at night. They don't want to get up at night and make those calls. So, what we proposed in our agreement with the Greenport FD is that we hire a temporary (?) service between 7 and 7 and have them on our property until we get up to at least one EMT per shift, if not two EMT's per shift. Now, this is a significant investment for Peconic Landing, but it's also an investment in the community. Because we will incent our employees to become EMT's. They will get an increase either through a bonus or they will get an increase in their hourly pay to become EMT's and join the Greenport FD. Let alone whether they are a Village of Greenport resident or not, if they live in Mattituck and they want to become an EMT, Peconic Landing will incent them as well. So, Peconic Landing is trying to do the right thing by the community, not only to cover the (inaudible) it is producing, but address a greater need which is the aging of the EMT services personnel in the Town of Southold. Again, I will repeat, only 20 of the residents that have moved into Independent Living since we have opened up were from the Village of Greenport. The 141 came from all the other fire districts on the North Fork. I will tell you that we are an evacuation site for the Town. During the first tropical storm (inaudible) we took in over 40 people. During Sandy, we took in over 70, even evacuating the hospital in the height of the storm to our property. So we have become a staple of security on the other side of safety. We do understand that with our aging population we do have a number of calls. But we are committed, and we will be committed in writing to solve this problem. Again, we are looking to not only address our issue, but we are looking to help the Village which we reside just outside of. A couple of quick statistics: we have 174 employees at Peconic Landing up to 220 who are Town of Southold residents. Eighty of them are Greenport residents. Just this past year, our tax bill to Greenport School was $555,000 (inaudible). We do a lot of positive things for the community because we believe it's the right thing to do. We believe this is our home, this is our residents' home. Our residents do a lot of things that are very positive for the community. So, I think I've covered what I wanted to cover. But I will tell you if we included the Shores Enriched Living and Skilled Nursing admissions from the Town, the numbers would be significantly higher. We just chose not to do that tonight because those are need-driven decisions. Who do we have here: we have Mr. & Mrs. Almond. Mr. Almond is a retired attorney, he is on the building committee for the sponsor board. We have Craig Garrett, Chief Operating Officer, we have Darryl Volinski, past Greenport Fire Chief and current warden, Director (inaudible) and we have Tom Wolpert who is our engineer. Peconic Landing understands that it is putting strain on EMS services, but our plan is to not only address our issue, but address the issue within our community because that's the way we think. That's what I wanted to say. I thank you for your time. Southold Town Planninq Board Page Twenty May 5, 2014 Donald Wilcenski: Thank you very much, Mr. Syron. Would anybody else from the left side of the room like to address the Board on the Peconic Landing public hearing? Anyone from the right side? From the center? Yes, sir, from the back. Please state and write your name for the record. Paul Loeb: I live across the street and a little bit west from Peconic Landing. We've been there since 1962. It's changed a little bit. I'd like to (inaudible). I'd like to say they are a great employer, it's a good addition to the Town; there's a lot of nice things to say about Peconic Landing. One of the downsides is: it can be noisy. The ambulances. I don't have a problem with the amount of ambulances—they need care—that's part of what goes on there. It's the sirens I have a problem with. When this was first planned, they proposed a substation for the firehouse there, so you have the ambulances coming from the firehouse in Greenport and then back again. Whereas if there was a substation and the ambulances were there, you'd just have them leaving. It would cut down on the count of the ambulances and cut down on the noise. I don't know where that got lost in the process, but I anticipate with more people, there's gonna be more jobs, which is great. But I also anticipate a lot more ambulances, and it's disturbing living there. Especially in the summer. So that was one item. There are a couple more. Once again, they are a great employer. But many of their employees walk from Greenport Village to Peconic Landing. That's a great way to get to work, except there aren't sidewalks. So people walk across my lawn—it's kind of hilly—they have to climb down hills. When Jemco, the winery across the street was put together. I came to that hearing and said you might want to add some sidewalks because people walk back and forth. And now they walk from the village to the winery. And there's no sidewalk. With more people, there's gonna be more workers, so there will be more people walking. And when it snows, there's no place to walk, so people walk in the street. So I pull out of my driveway and dodge around people who are walking to work. The other point that I'll make here (inaudible) it's great that they restored Brecknock Hall—it's great that it's used again. I remember when it was in disrepair. The weddings are nice. But the noise. I've had to call the police several times. I can't use my porch in the summer on Saturday nights because the disco music is loud. I'm told that it's not the manager, but the traveling DJ's that come in and they don't get the idea that they have to turn it down. There seems to be a correlation from when I call the police to when the music goes down. When the police get there, the music is down and they have to come back again. It's an ongoing problem I hope you will address and take care of. Once again, it's a great addition to the community, but there's a few problems. I thank you for hearing me. Donald Wilcenski: Thank you, Mr. Loeb. Anybody else from the audience? Yes, sir, you can step to the podium, state and write your name for the record, please. Southold Town Planning Board Page Twenty-One May 5, 2014 Bill Toedter, President, North Fork Environmental Council: Peconic Landing is a good member of the community both in terms of providing vital services, vital jobs, and contributions to the community through their tax dollars. What I want to speak about tonight is: we are in changing times in terms of water on Long Island. Part of this proposal is to hook up the Peconic Landing extension through the Greenport wastewater treatment facility. It is my understanding that while there is capacity in that facility, the facility is nearing or possibly over its actual total daily maximum load in terms of nitrates and other things that are coming out of the aquifer. So, as you look at this plan as you are the lead agency now on SEQRA, I do hope that you evaluate those pieces of the puzzle in terms of the benefits of going through the wastewater treatment system, but also looking at a community on-site septic system that may be better in terms of water quality for that region and also (inaudible). Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. And just as a note to your comment; we have hired Nelson Pope & Voorhis to handle the SEQRA for us. Bill Toedter: OK. Thank you. Donald Wilcenski: Anyone else who would like to address the Board on Peconic Landing? OK, Charles. Charles Cuddy: Just a quick response, if I may, for the concern about the sidewalks: we have sidewalks. It's unfortunate I understand that other people don't. We had to put them in. People use them. We can't extend them. That's our property. I would point out to Mr. Loeb that the garage situation for the ambulance was something that Greenport didn't want to do. Thinking about it, we initially did offer a site offsite for the ambulance, but they decided it was preferable not to do it. Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Anyone else from the audience? Yes, Mr. Loeb, you can step to the microphone again, please. Paul Loeb: I wonder if we revisited the substation with the Greenport Fire Department recently? Are they still opposed to it? Donald Wilcenski: Hold on, you can ask us the questions, and if Mr. Syron would like to answer, he can step to the microphone and do so. Bob Syron: We have been meeting with the Greenport Fire Department for years, but when we really started working on the expansion, we revisited that. We have site plans that show the part and parcels carved out for that station. It's my understanding that the EMT's still have to respond. It was actually Peconic Landing's suggestion that we revisit that. If we have EMT's on site, they can go right to the ambulance and right back Southold Town Planninq Board Page Twenty-Two May 5, 2014 to get them. But the Village does not want to put hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment on our property. That was the issue originally and that's it again. We have been willing to consider that. Anything we can do to have a better working relationship with Greenport. But that was not decided on as anything they want to consider at this time. Daryl, I don't know if you want to address that as a warden of Greenport? OK, that's it. I have a letter here that I would like to give you. This is in preparation of our meeting with, our formal agreement drawn up by attorneys of Peconic Landing Greenport. If I may read it, it's a brief letter: "On behalf of Peconic Landing, I'd like to thank you, Assistant Chief Miller, Assistant Chief Weingart and the Special Wardens Committee for working with us this past year. Peconic Landing truly values and depends upon the Greenport Fire Department. We have negotiated together in good faith with the goal being a reduction in the number of calls to Peconic Landing and also to benefit the greater Greenport Community. The points we agreed upon: • Peconic Landing will train all staff that interacts with the EMS services on how to properly screen and prepare for a call. • A nurse protocol screening tool has been developed to be utilized for potential EMS calls at The Shores. • EMTs who work at Peconic Landing outside of the Shores may leave to attend calls in the Greenport Community. • Peconic Landing will conduct an EMT drive among its staff and move towards having two EMTs per shift. If Peconic Landing can achieve greater than two EMTs per shift, two EMTs will be allowed to leave for calls. (that's what's required for ambulance calls) • As we anticipate training and hiring EMTs will take time, we will work to negotiate a temporary ambulance contract on the property for evenings and nights. Peconic Landing is proud to be a part of the Greenport Community, and is very pleased to be part of these negotiations. We believe this to be a win win, as this will benefit all." Donald Wilcenski: You can bring that up for the record. That will be added to the file. Yes, Mr. Loeb. We will get to you next. Paul Loeb: One quick question, I'm not sure who to direct this to. It's my understanding that the Greenport Fire Department would not have a problem doing substation if someone else were to foot the bill for the equipment. Southold Town Planning Board Page Twenty-Three May 5, 2014 Donald Wilcenski: Well, we are not here to discuss that right now. But part of this hearing is to gain information from both sides, and then it is our job to come up with a plan. That will be done over the next several months. Paul Loeb: So we are not going to address that here. Donald Wilcenski: No. Paul Loeb: OK. Donald Wilcenski: Thank you. Yes, sir? Please write and state your name for the record. Mike Griffin, EMT from the East Marion Fire Department: I am also a Commissioner for the Department, but I am speaking as an individual, as a person who has been on several 2 a.m. calls to Peconic Landing in the morning as a backup for Greenport. I am happy to hear that it sounds like Peconic Landing is providing sufficient EMT support so that they will be able to take care of the issues that will arise with the increasing number of patients (inaudible), so it sounds like good news. Donald Wilcenski: Thank you for your comment. Would anybody else in the audience like to address the Board at this point? OK. We did have several letters in the mail, and I would like to ask the Board or someone from the Board to make a motion to leave this hearing open until June 2—that's our next public hearing—so we would leave the ability to receive letters and any information if someone couldn't make it tonight to hear their concerns or their praises. So, I need a motion from the Board to leave this public hearing open until our next public hearing on June 2. Bill Cremers: So moved. Martin Sidor: Second. Donald Wilcenski: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor? Bill Cremers, Martin Sidor, Pierce Rafferty, Don Wilcenski: Ayes. Donald Wilcenski: Motion carries. Thank you all for your comments and everything will be put into the record and taken into consideration through this application process. Southold Town Planning Board Page Twenty-Four May 5, 2014 APPROVAL OF PLANNING BOARD MINUTES Donald Wilcenski: The last order of business is to approve the minutes from April 7, 2014. William Cremers: So moved. James Rich: Second. Donald Wilcenski: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor? Ayes. Donald Wilcenski: Motion carries. I need a motion for adjournment. Martin Sidor: So moved. James Rich: Second. Donald Wilcenski: Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor? Ayes. Donald Wilcenski: Motion carries. Have a good evening.
