Wickham, Bressler, Gordon & Geasa, P.C. 13015 Main Road P.O. Box 1424 Mattituck, NY 11952 RE: Edson Change of Zone Application Dear Ms. Wickham: Telephone (631) 765-1939 Facsimile (631) 765-6639 The Town Board has received and reviewed the above -referenced application seeking a change in zoning from R-40 to General Business (B). The Town Board had forwarded the application to the Planning Board for their review, and recommendations were received by the Town Clerk on February 10, 2006, The Planning Board has recommended denial of the application for the reasons set forth in their February 7, 2006 Memorandum, a copy of which is enclosed. The Town Board discussed the zone change application and Planning Board comments at the February 14, 2006 work session. The Town Board agrees that the intensity of use permitted in the B zone would be inappropriate at this location. Further, the Town Board agrees with the Planning Board's recommendations, and finds that further consideration of a change of zone at this location at this time would be inconsistent with the Town's comprehensive planning efforts. Accordingly, please be advised that the Town Board is not interested in moving forward with the above - referenced application. Thank you for your attention. Very truly yours, o - a - Patricia A.

Woodhouse, Planning Board Chairperson Member of the Planning Board Date: February 7, 2006 Re: Edson Change of Zonae Application 1000-102-2-p/o 16 AILING ADDRESS: P.O. Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 OFFICE LOCATION: Town Hall Annex 54375 State Route 25 (cor. Main Rd. & Youngs Ave.) Southold, NY Telephone: 631 765-1988 Fax: 631765-3136 An application for a change of zone has been submitted to the Town Board for the above - referenced property. Request is to change the zone on the front portion of the property from R-40 to General Business (B). The business -zoned portion of the property is proposed to occupy 4.5684 acres with the balance of the parcel to remain zoned at R-80. The existing residence and the retail building are located within the proposed business zone. The subject property is 25.5023 acres and is currently improved with an approximately 8,064 s.f. retail building and single family residence. The property is located on the north side of NYS Route 25 (Main Road) in Cutchogue. Currently, a small portion of the parcel along Main Road is zoned R-40 with the bulk of the parcel zoned R-80. Planning staff conducted a field inspection of the subject property and surrounding properties in order to assess the potential overall impacts of said change of zone on the Hamlet of Cutchogue. After considering the surrounding land uses and assessing the proposed change of zone against the Town's vision for the Hamlet, the Planning Board recommends the denial of the application. The following observations and recommendations are grounded in our understanding of Town's vision and sound planning principles: 1. The following is taken verbatim from the Town of Southold Hamlet Study: A second commercial area, located outside of the Cutchogue Hamlet Center should be recognized- the area around the King Kullen Shopping Center and the Peconic Bay Winery. This area is clearly not physically or perceptually part of the Hamlet Center, yet it will likely remain a commercial node. As such, a program enhancing and improving the area should be initiated. It is imperative that this area not be allowed to detract from the Hamlet Center itself. Immediate safety issues need to be addressed in front of the King Kullen Shopping Center —the entrance off of Route 25 is poorly lit and there is not turning lane east bound. Coordination with the NYSDOT is necessary to assure that potential traffic engineering solutions take into consideration aesthetic issues and preserve the character of the area. The Planning Board fiends that the proposed change of zone is wholly inconsistent with the aforementioned recommendation from the Hamlet Study. Because of the potential intensity of development that may occur, uncontrolled commercial growth or additional business uses may detract from the designated Hamlet Center. in addition, any consideration to linking the Hamlet Center with the King Kullen Shopping Center should part of an overall strategy for the Hamlet. A piecemeal approach that includes rezoning individual parcels without studying the entire area is not advisable and could result in an undesirable change to the landscape. 2. The amount of land proposed to be rezoned is 4.5684 acres. The B zoning district sets the maximum permitted lot coverage at 30% with a minimum lot area requirement of 30,000 s.f.. Currently, the retail building is approximately 8,064 s.f. with a lot coverage of 4%. If rezoned to B, a building with an approximate first floor area of 59,700 s.f. may be constructed on the property. In addition, there is the potential to further subdivide the property into smaller business parcels, which could result in a total four (4) or more additional business lots of 30,000 s.f. each. Each of these lots could be improved with an approximately 9,000 s.f. building (first floor area). The Planning Board does not support the potential build -out of this site that may result from the change of zone. 3. The Planning Board does not support rezoning properties as a mechanism to legalize nonconforming land uses. Such rezoning may be considered "spot zoning" and should be permitted only where there is a demonstrated public need for the proposed use that cannot be reasonably met elsewhere. 4. Many of the surrounding properties are improved with single-family residences and will be most impacted by existing and future development of the site. The B zoning district permits, either as -of -right or by special exception, a significant number of intense land uses, including but not limited to, retail stores, restaurants, custom workshops, business and professional offices, wholesale/retail beverage distribution, auto repair shops and fuel stations. The potential changes in use that may occur in the future may have significant environmental, economic or transportation impacts, which may affect the public health, safety and welfare of the local residents. The Planning Board does not support the change of zone in consideration of a recent ZBA decision that allows for an unlimited number of uses in a .single commercial building Even with a change of zone, the Planning Board finds that the nonconformities will continue to exist for this property. The retail building does not meet all of the setback and dimensional requirements of the Town Code, including property line setbacks and the 25' -wide landscaped buffer requirement from adjacent residential properties. Additionally, there is pending legislation regarding limiting the size of retail structures in the B and HB Zoning Districts, which may also render the existing retail building nonconforming. The Planning Board does not support the change of Zone in the absence of "big box" retail legislation. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact this office.

Such request is made for the following reasons: Applicant's Christmas tree farm business has encountered growing customer requests for sale of products related to the business. Applicant would like to more completely relate the retail nature of business to the demands of the public and create a more complete retail line which complements the agricultural business. It is applicant's intention to create a more scenic, historical shopping atmosphere in keeping with the hamlet of Cutchogue and to provide more stable economic viability to the agricultural business. The proposal is in conformity with the Route 48 Corridor study and prior studies which recommend concentration of retail business in the hamlet centers to deflect retail traffic from Route 48 and the other corridors. The property is directly opposite an automotive repair/autobody shop and other business use. By virtue of the shape of the parcel, the site will not create an imposing or unsightly presence on the Main Road, as the main building area is located back off the highway.

Appendix A Q State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a proje( or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequen ly, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determin significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environment; analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affectin the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determinatio process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or actioi . Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its .site. By identifying basic projec data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3 Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range "of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It providt guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentiall,; large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially -large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not th impact is actually important. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE—Type 1 and Unlisted Actions identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: ❑ Part 1 ❑ Part 2 ❑Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: ❑ A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. ❑ B.

Mr. Lewis Edson, Trustee of the estate of Grace Edson, manages the property. Over the past 22 years, the land has been used to grow potatoes, nursery stock and evergreens. For the past ten years, Mr. Edson has operated a retail store in a building approved for agricultural storage. He sells Christmas related items that are not agricultural products. Mr. Forrester, the Building Inspector, has stated that the Building Department has received correspondence from citizens regarding the retail operation but has not issued any citations. Mr. Edson uses dilapidated buses parked behind his building for storage. There is no visual barrier between his building and the neighbors' backyards, so the rusting buses seriously impair the quality of the backyards. Mr. Edson houses reindeer in a display area with vending machines dispensing food pellets. He does not have the required permit from USDA, which ensures adequate housing, veterinary care and health testing of the animals. As deer are known carriers of tuberculosis and the hungry reindeer eat out of children's hands, the testing of these animals is of utmost importance. Also, the reindeer are inadequately housed, causing a buck to gore a doe to death a few years ago and causing regular breakouts, a threat to both cars on the Main Road and the animals. We have seen what Mr. Edson's idea of running a business is, and we foresee the following negative impacts if the spot zoning is allowed: -The spot zoning will set a precedent for the 13 contiguous properties, located on both the Main Road and Depot Lane, and allow those property owners to request a similar zoning. An ugly strip mall could result. -Mr. Edson cites business on the opposite side of Main Road as a precedent. If a major route is no longer considered a barrier, the south side of Main Road could also be in jeopardy. -Traffic on Main Road would be severely and negatively impacted, with the residents served by Pequash Avenue requiring the installation of a traffic light. -The loss of 12 acres in our community will substantially alter the rural character of our hamlet. Cutchogue's open vistas were a prime factor in its being named one of the 100 best small towns to visit in the USA by the National Geographic Society. -Historically valued homes (Hamid, House and Fleet properties, to name three) would be compromised, surrounded by a business zone instead of their original agricultural setting. -There are already vacant business -zoned locations nearby. A new 12 -acre HB area is unnecessary and would exacerbate the vacancies in Feather Hill, downtown Cutchogue and the building next to King Kullen plaza, to name a few existing locations that would be happy to house Mr. Edson's business. -The products Mr. Edson proposes are neither daily needs of Cutchogue residents or even products of the USA, but rather tourist gimmicks. His stated goal of providing "a more scenic, historical shopping atmosphere" is harshly contradicted by his use of rusting buses for storage, his lack of compliance with fire codes within his building and his inadequate care of display animals. -The value of properties in the area will suffer. The home of Eleanor Zaneski sold last year for less than $90,000, as the unsightly buses dominate the backyard. Unfortunately, the money from her home was intended for her elder care and she was forced to move in with relatives in PennsylvaMm. We hope you will consider the vast negative impact the spot zoning of this property will have on the honest citizens of Cutchogue and resoundingly reject Mr. Edson's request. We further request that appropriate actions be taken concerning any current violations of codes be cited and that they be immediately remedied. We would appreciate if you could notify Carol House (phone 734-6288 or fax 734-2591) of the date of the Town Board meeting as there is a large number of concerned citizens interested in participating in this decision. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Carol House &X11 "James A.

We have seen what Mr. Edson's idea of running a business is, and we foresee the following negative impacts if the spot zoning is allowed: -The spot zoning will set a precedent for the 13 contiguous properties, located on both the Main Road and Depot Lane, and allow those property owners to request a similar zoning. An ugly strip mail could result. -Mr. Edson cites business on the opposite side of Main Road as a precedent. If a major route is no longer considered a barrier, the south side of Main Road could also be in jeopardy. -Traffic on Main Road would be severely and negatively impacted, with the residents served by Pequash Avenue requiring the installation of a traffic light. -The loss of 12 acres in our community will substantially alter the rural character of our hamlet. Cutchogue's open vistas were a prime factor in its being named one of the 100 best small towns to visit in the USA by the National Geographic Society. -Historically valued homes (Hamid, House and Fleet properties, to name three) would be compromised, surrounded by a business zone instead of their original agricultural setting. -There are already vacant business -zoned locations nearby. A new 12 -acre HB area is unnecessary and would exacerbate the vacancies in Feather Hill, downtown Cutchogue and the building next to King Kullen plaza, to name a few existing locations that would be happy to house Mr. Edson's business. -The products Mr. Edson proposes are neither daily needs of Cutchogue residents or even products of the USA, but rather tourist gimmicks. His stated goal of providing "a more scenic, historical shopping atmosphere" is harshly contradicted by his on, use of rusting buses for storage, his lack of compliance with fire codes within his building and his inadequate care of display animals. -The value of properties in the area will suffer. The home of Eleanor Zaneski sold last year for less than $90,000, as the unsightly buses dominate the backyard. Unfortunately, the money from her home was intended for her elder care and she was forced to move in with relatives in Pennsylvania. We hope you will consider the vast negative impact the spot zoning of this property will have on the honest citizens of Cutchogue and resoundingly reject Mr. Edson's request. We further request that appropriate actions be taken concerning any current violations of codes be cited and that they be immediately remedied.

This is in the area between the two traffic lights currently operating in Cutchogue. I represent the owner of the above property, who for many years has operated Santa's Christmas Tree Farm on Route 25 opposite Pequash Avenue. I would like the DOT to be aware that we have applied to the Town of Southold for a change of zone to General Business for the above property in connection with the existing agricultural business. We are in the process of drafting a proposed site plan, but the anticipated usage of agricultural and accessory retail will continue substantially as at the present. We understand that the DO1' is proposing a left hand turn lane into Pequash Avenue from the westbound lane of Route 25. We are concerned that the proposed turn lane would interfere with existing access to our client's property and create an unsafe situation. I would appreciate an opportunity to review the situation with you, perhaps at a meeting at your office, to see whether there is some method in which the local traffic pattern can be improved without constricting our access. Our frontage and buildings limit our ability to relocate the driveway, but there may be room for some modifications.

As we discussed on Monday it has been brought to the attention of the Building Department by the Planning Board that the use of the above described building is in violation of its certificate of occupancy. The CO clearly indicates the building is classified as an agricultural building, reference CO #Z19311 and Z15195. Enclosed are copies of these COs. I trust they aid in clarification. As a result, the Planning Board "feels that the Building Department should revoke the current Certificate of Occupancy and issue. a violation". After conferring with Laury Dowd, the Town Attorney, on this matter and also speaking with Ed Forrester, the Town Investigator, and yourself I feel it to be counter productive and not in keeping with a philosophy of voluntary compliance to issue any violations at this time. Instead I respectfully request of you a reply letter as to your intentions and plan of action to resolve this matter. I also request a meeting with you on the site so I can see first hand what type of operations you are conducting. Please keep in mind that I take the recent correspondence from the Planning Board seriously and find merit in their concerns and recommendations. I trust this letter encourages and motivates you to respond in a timely fashion so this issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved. I wait for your anticipated written reply.
