ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Application of CUTCHOGUE FARMS LTD (a/k/a GRISTINA
VINEYARDS) for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance,
Article III, Section 100-30B for permission to establish Winery,
at premises located along the north side of the Main Road,
Cutchogue, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-109-01-13.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on
Thursday, October 6, 1988, in the Matter of the Application
No. 3769SE; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. This is an application pursuant to the requirements of
Article III, Section 100-30B for a Special Exception, Subsection
14 for permission to establish Winery use for the production and
retail sales of wine produced from grapes primarily grown on the
vineyard on which such winery is located.
2. The premises in question is a 53-acre (+-) parcel
located in the "A" Residential and Agricultural Zone District
with frontage along the north side of the Main Road (State Route
25), Hamlet of Cutchogue.
3. The subject premises is improved with a two-story framed
barn structure and is more particularly identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 109, Block 1, Lot 13.
P~ge.2 - Appeal No. 3769 ,
Matter of CUTCHOGUE FAR~lS LTD.
Decision Rendered October 26, 1988
3. Submitted for consideration are the Site Plan (Map
amended August 26, 1988), foundation, elevation and floor plans,
prepared by Donald A. Denis, A.I.A., P.C. depicting the
proposed two-story building (and the existing building). The new
construction, inclusive of the concrete crushing pad and setting
tank(s), is proposed to be set back 270+- feet distant from the
(front) property line along the Main Road, 295+- feet from the
nearest neighboring property line to the south (now or formerly
Rose Petrash), and 42+- feet from the easterly (side) property
line.
4. It is noted for the record that reviews have been made
and are pending by the Planning Board indicating their general
acquiescence with the elements of the site-plan under its purview.
5. It is the position of this Board that activities and
operations of the winery at the requested setback of
approximately 42 feet from the easterly property line is not
within the best interests or the advancement of the health,
safety and general welfare of the public in general and
particularly the immediate neighboring property(ies). It is
the opinion of this Board that such activities can be located a
minimum of 100 feet from the easterly property line and such a
requirement is not unreasonable under the circumstances.
6. In considering this application, the Board finds and
determines that the conditional grant of this use: (a) will
not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties
or of properties in adjacent-use districts; (b) will not
adversely affect the safety, health, welfare, comfort, con-
venience or order of the Town; (c) is in harmony with and will
promote the general purposes and intent of zoning.
7. The Board has also considered subsections (a) through
(1) of Article XII, Section 100-121C(2) of the Zoning Code in
making this determination.
Accordingly, on motion by Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Special Exception for a Winery for the
Production and Retail Sales of Wine Produced From Grapes
Primarily Grown on this Vineyard in the Matter of the Application
of CUTCHOGUE FARMS LTD. under Appl. No. 3769, SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That the crushing pad either be: (a) relocated to the
~age.3 - Appeal No. 3769 ,
Matter of CUTCHOGUE FARMS LTD.
Decision Rendered October 26,
1988
west side of the building, or (b) relocated to a minimum
setback of 100 feet from the easterly property line at its
closest point;
2. That the building and structures be located a minimum of
100 feet from the easterly property line;
3. That the parking area be located a minimum of 50 feet
from its closest point to the easterly property line and be
continuously screened with the evergreen buffer (staggered and
spaced close enough to block visibility from neighboring
properties and the street, as proposed);
4. Any and all working areas must be located at least 100
feet from the in~uediate property line to the east;
5. Ail screening shall be as shown on the August 16, 1988
Site Plan with screening highlighted, with a minimum of six-ft.
high evergreens, staggered and spaced close enough to block
visibility from the neighboring properties and road;
6. No expansion of the Winery Areas will be permitted
without further application and consideration by the Board of
Appeals;
7. Any and all lighting must be shielded to the property.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis and
Dinizio. (Member Sawicki and Member Doyen were absent (due to
serious family illness). This resolution was duly adopted.

Re: Application for Special Exception, Cutehogue Farms, Ltd.
Gentlemen,
We have received notice of a Special Exception petition requested by the above applicant
for the purpose of constructing and operating a winery for the wholesale and retail sale
of wine. We are the owners of a residentially zoned wooded parcel immediately to
the east of where the proposed commercial building is to be erected. We have filed for
a minor subdivision and are now awaiting final approval for two residential plots.
The site plan enclosed with the Notice shows a proposed commercial building (winery)
set back approximately 480 feet froln the Main Road and located less than 50 feet
from our property line. A barn already exists approximately 100 feet from the vineyard's
west property line. Now they are proposing to erect a winery less than 59 feet from
their east property line and to clear a parking area not more than 25 feet from this
same property line. The vineyard site is more than 400 feet in width where the existing
barn and proposed winery are located. We wonder what Gristina's plans are for the
future use Of the land between the buildings and along the Main Road.
In our opinion, although the vineyard and winery are an acceptable use for the land,
we strongly oppose the proposed location of the structure and parking area for the
following reasons:
1. The erection of a commercial structure and parking area within 50 feel of
the property line will drastically reduce the value of our 2.7 acre wooded plot.
2. On a 48 acre parcel, it should be no problem for the applicant to locate the
buildings where they do not harm any of the adjoining property owners.
3. All other winery structures in the Towns of Southold and Riverhead are set
back no more than 200 feet from the front property line, not 480 feet as indicated
on the applicant's site plan.
4. A future problem may arise when the applicant attempts to make use of the
property in front of and to the west of his winery.
We would be agreeable to the proposed use if the winery was centrally located on the
site and set back 200 feet or less from the Main Road.
Very truly yours,

who are the owners of the vineyard. Dr. Gristina has been the owner
of this vineyard since about 1982. The application, as you indicated
in the site plans, for a winery for the production, retail and whole-
sale growing for grapes that are growing on the Gristina Vineyard
which at present, one of the site plans shows that he has some 29
acres planted of the 48 on this parcel. There is a mixed variety.
Ten of which are Chardonnay, 18 which are Caburey, 5 of Rolet and
4 of Caburey prime. We are under Section 100-30 of B14. The use
of a portion o~. the premises is permitted in this residential dis-
trict providing a special exception is granted by the Board of Ap-
peals and of course subject to site plan approval by the Planning
Board. Application has also been made to the Planning Board. And
as I understand it, they will not act formally on the site plan with
all the criteria until the Board acts on the special exception. How-
ever, on October 4th, they did find that the overall plan was ac-
ceptable and I think they submitted a letter to you to that effect.
The location of the proposed winery on the property is shown on the
site plan which you have before you. Dr. Gristina has also submitted
to you plans that were drawn by the architect, Donald Denis who will
answer any questions that you might have showing the layout of the
building with the elevations. Also, I believe that the Planner
passed over to you a landscaped plan which shows how he intends to
put some supplements in with some evergreens and things like that
to protect the neighboring property,

$outhold Zoning Board of Appeals
MR. LARK (continued):
Dr. Gristina is here also. And If he can answer any questions that
the Board might have. Ok. As the Board knows, the special excep-
tion is nothing more than a special permit to allow the construction
of this proposed building for the use of the winery. In considering
the criteria in the ordinance, I submit to you that the character of
this particular district which is A Residential and Agriculatural
for the development of the vineyard which is presently 29 acres as
I indicated to you under cultivation. And considering the surround-
ing properties, submitted that the special permit for the erection
of the winery in this location to allow the making and sale of wine
from grapes grown on the property is not only logical but an ideal
use of the property. To the south of the building, due to the topo-
graphy, the old building or any planting or any agriculture is con-
templated so it will provide a very nice setback which nature has
already provided. And i f you look on the landscape drawing which I
think was submitted to you, that they do show some of the plantings
and everything all in there. Ok. So it is submitted that the con-
struction of the winery in this location is the most ~ppropriate
And if we were looking at the topography of the site where the ac-
tual building is located at the highest point of the property and
that ample parking for off-street parking is provided in the front
of it which will not create any traffic congestion on the Main Road.
In fact, with the off-street parking the way it is tucked in, it
will alleviate the possible traffic congestion on the Main Road
in this area. The winery will have ample water from private wells
to be located on the property and the normal cesspools which will
be approved by the Department of Health. In fact, the grapes and
everything, I~ am informed, that after they fall from the vines, the
grape skins as they call them, they are returned back into the field
and used as fertilizer. So the only use of the cesspools would pro-
bably only be for the help or the public using it for the various
toilet facilities in the facility. Table B from what I can under-
stand from the use of the winery, no production of gases, odors or
smoke or soot, nor will there be any electrical discharges, dust or
lighting or noise from the property due to the operation of the
winery. In fact, all the lighting is proposed by the architect will
be low lighting, probably the low voltage variety and will be internal
shining on the parking lot. No light will be emitted from the
property itself on those particular occasions where the public
might be there during the evening. Also, the location of the winery
on this property will not interfere with any proposed recreational
facilities of the town. And as I indicated, the off-street proposed
location is ideal. Because not only will it provide access to our
winery for public tasting and viewing as well as the sales, but the
parking lot itself will not be visible from the Main Road nor will
the building, where it's located, be visible to the Main Road due
to the existing vegetation and the layout of the property as it
is. Also, there will be readily access for fire, police or other
emergency vehicles in case the need arises. The point being is
that it is readily accessible. The erection of the winery in this
Page 3 - Thursday,~tober 6, 1988
~u~lic Hearing - C~HOGUE FA~4S LTD. (aka) G~TINA VINEYARDS
$~uthold Zoning Board of Appeals
MR. LARK (continued):
location will not cause any overcrowding of population. If any-
thing it will ensure the continued success of the vineyard itself
because it will provide an outlet for the source of supply which
are the grapes themselves. The size of the property and the loca-
tion of the proposed winery is ideal for this operation. And as
I said, it's located on the highest part on the property so that
it overlooks the vineyard. And when the grapes are harvested,
they will be brought right from the vineyard to the crushing pad
as indicated on the diagram that you have on the site plan. The
location and the whole set up was done with Donald Denis and Dr.
Gristina with the aesthetics of the property in mind, to keep it
from view of the Main Road and to use the natural topography and
the existing vegetation there. So very little will be disturbed
from what you see on the land today except the actual location
where the aole will be dug for the foundation of the building.
Lastly, it's not near any church, school or any places of public
assembly. So in summing up, the location of the winery on the
Gristina property has been given a great deal of thought by not
only Dr. Gristina but as well as his architect, Donald Denis.
And by placing it in this location, it will keep both the winery
parking lot obscure from the Main Road but in fact, the only thing
the motorists will see is the existing sign which is presently
there on the property. Further, when any visitors from the.
public come to the winery, they will drive up the road as you see
on the site plan, and will curve off to the right and the road
elevations there will not provide any unduly steep grade to get
access to it. And it is submitted that the health, safety and
welfare for the order of the town will not be adversely ~fected.
But rather agricultural or vintage cultural as they call it now,
will be promoted by allowing the installation of the winery for
the vineyard. As I understand it, there was one letter put in
from the neighboring property owner, Petro Stations, Ltd. voicing
some objections. Normally I don't comment on things like that
but I did want to point out some inaccuracies of the lett.er be-
cause I was somewhat baffled by the objections. They point out
in the letter that the building will be located less than 50 feet
from the property. This is not so. If you'll look at the land-
scape plan, I had the architect locate the location of the build-
ing from that property line and it's 73 feet west of the property
line. Further, the closest spot of the parking area to this
property is 42 feet, not 25 as the allegation in the letter. So
if the Board has any questions of either myself or Donald Denis,
I'd like Donald to come forward since he did submit to you the,
you wanted the building plans, he did submit them to you. And
he's also got an architectural rendering of this building and he
can comment on how it's going to work because I think you need to
know that. Donald.

~NA VINEYARDS
MR. DENIS: My office is in Riverhead. This is a cardboard model.
It's a preliminary model of the winery. I would just like to come
forward and show you briefly how the winery works. As Mr. Lark said,
the building is placed here at this location for a very specific
reason, The property has a drop from the start of the vineyard
back to,,ard the road and this is one of the one few areas where
the property has a drop. We wanted to get the winery in a location
where the people could be in the winery, sit on the back and experi-
ence the vineyard. And this is about the only location where we
could do that. You could argue the point that it could be anywhere
along this ridge line or along parallel to the vineyard which is
true. We selected the position on the east portion of the property
in order to get it away from the operations of the barn which is on
the west part of the property. The other advantage of being on a
hill, it's a natural position for a winery because a good
processing area can be below grade including the storage area below
and the fermentation tanks. So the building sits facing the winery
this way and the road is this way, the general public will come up
this way to the winery, enter onto a deck here and then into a tast-
ing room. From the tasting room, there will be windows looking down
into the fermentation tank area. There will be stainless steel tanks
along both walls and will be open from view from the tasting area.
From the tasting area you can also look out across the deck. There
will be seating out here out to the vineyard. The back area over
here is a receiving area for case storage and storage of wine once
it.'s been processed. Over here is a crushing pad with a cover. The
grapes are brought down from the vineyard, brought onto the crushing
pad and crushed and processed here. The liquid is then pumped into
the fermentation room into the tanks. In the area right directly be-
low the tasting area is the storage area for the kegs. There's a
mechanical room on the back side. There's a small kitchen here for
the wash up and clean up of the processing of the glasses for the
tasting. There's also public toilets. The building will remain
accessible by a ramp going into the building. The doors will be
properly sized for that and so will the toilets. As Mr. Lark said,
the actual site plan is before the Planning Board and has had a
review by them. I think it's in the process of being approved. I
would be willing to answer any questions about the building. The
building total area is a little over 5,000 square feet with the
public area being a slightly over a 1,000 square feet.
CHAI~4AN GOEHRINGER: Would you like to lay that down while we ask
the questions?
TAPE ENDED
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: In other words, it remains kind of strange
to me to have the work area facing the road as opposed to... I can
understand that you want to have the viewing area toward the vine-
yard. I don't understand why you're making it directly perpendicu-
lar to the road, the work area of the vineyard itself.

INA VINEYARDS
DONALD DENIS: As I explained initially, we thought there's two
parts of this thing. There's the public area which I think is
very important and there's also the processing area which is
probably more important. We wanted to get the processing area
on a lower level and partially submerged into the grade. Now
in order to do that, you can't have the entrance to the lower
area on the high side of the building. It's a logical place
to have it on the low side. I think the concern about that may
be that you may think that's visible from the roadway and I can
assure you it's not. And that was the logic of the layout. I
think i% works in that way and I think it's a proper layout and
a good layout. Also, the thing was that we didn't want to have
the cars up by the building. The thought was; we were trying to
make an experience here for people who come to the winery. It
was not supposed to be a rushed experience. It was supposed to
be a pleasureable experience. We wanted them to walk up through
the woods to go to the winery. We didn't want to have them walk
in like a supermarket where you just walk in through the door and
fly in through the door and you're there and you leave. So it was
trying to make it a little bit of a happening and that was the logic
of the layout of the parking and the layout of the building.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: There
lot and the ingress and the
ing?
is no screening between the parking
egress of the work area of the build-
~r. Lark:
have this.
No. But I'd like to remind you that ..... Do you
CHAIPJ4AN GOEHRINGER: No. I never got that.
Yr. Denis: The Planning Board said they sent that over to you.
This is the area that you're addressing yourself to. I think you
have to remember that it's a product that's harvested in the Fall.
And the actual processing of the wine, the crushing and the trans-
portation of the liquid into the tanks is a very short process. Dr.
Gristina could probably elaborate on that. But I would think it
only occurs over a one or two week period. So it's not an ongoing
operation that would be creating a product or processing a product
on the outside of the building on a 52-week basis. It's a very
short period of time.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: The reason why I asked that question Mr.
Denis, is because all the wineries we have recently granted special
exceptions to are basically directly reversed. This is probably
the first one that we've had that we have a viewing area that's
actually viewing the vineyard itself and the, which I refer to,
as the work area. Probably a poor phrase to use but facing the
parking lot and that's the reason basically, why I asked the
question.
Page 6 - Thursday,~tober 6, 1988 ~
Public Hearing - CU~CHOGUE FARMS LTD. (aka) G TINA VI~EYARDS
~outhold Zoning Board of Appeals
MR. DENIS: well if I could state, we did the Palmer Winery in
Riverhead up on Sound Avenue. And that particular building,
you actually approach the building and it's open. So you can
look into the processing area and the deck actually extends
over so you can look into the area and see the equipment and
see how the process begins. So we think that's also important
that you see it.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: So again, I will say that this is probably
the first application that we have where we're utilizing new con-
struction as opposed to the manipulation of existing construction.
Although the Pinder Winery was a vast transformation of an exist-
ing fallen down building and you can almost say that it's new con-
struction now. It was basically the utilization of an old build-
ing for the upsurge of a new building. Ok. The evergreen buffer
area is used basically to buffer the property from the surrounding
property because you are getting legimately close to the surround-
ing properties on the east side. And in the discussion of ingress
and egress to the winery itself is mainly done by the use of agri-
cultural equipment. Is that correct?
MR. DENIS: That's correct.
CHAI~4AN GOEHRINGER: So we would not have any fast moving cars of
that nature, anything other than a slow moving tractor.
MR. DENIS: I think that's very infrequent too.
CHAIk~AN GOEHRING]ER: Only during that period of time they .... Is
there anything that may be added to this building in years to come
that might not be shown on the plans that you might be considering?
MR. DENIS: We have indicated on the drawings that as a possibility
that we've left clear is the only thing that possibly expand would
be the fermentation area because you may need more tanks and that's
this area right here to the east.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: So that would go over to the road maybe.
MR. DENIS: Yes. And that would be something that would be far in
to the future if at all.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER:
Is Dr. Gristina here.
thing for the record?
Ok. We thank you very much. It's very nice.
Dr. how are you? Would you like to say some-
DR. GRISTINA: Yes. I think Don Denis has very well expressed my
personal feelings about the vineyard and the feelings of my family.
This is a vineyard that's owned by me and my wife and our son is
the vineyard manager and he runs the vineyard. When I met with
Don Denis and we spoke about this property, he asked me what sort
of building I wanted and I said I wanted something very much in
keeping with the buildings of the North Fork. If you look at this
building, this is not at all like, for example, the building in
Southampton that's brick with a copper roof. I wanted to preserve
the beauty of that property and blend the building in with the

property and keep the parking lot completely out of view from the
road itself. I don't want people to drive by and see a big build-
ing and a parking lot. I want them to see the beauty of the proper-
ty, drive in and then see the beauty of that building. And those
are my feelings.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Thank you sir. Is there anything you'd like
to add Mr. Lark? No. Is there anything else anybody would like
to add in way of support of this particular project? Anybody like
to speak against the project? Yes sir. Kindly state your name
for the record although we know you.
Irving
Price, Esq. I'm a counsel to Kevin J. McLaughlin. Our addresses
are both 828 Front Street, Greenport and we represent Petro Sta-
tions Ltd. of which Thomas J. Gorman is the principal and I believe
you have a letter from him dated September 9, 1988. I'd like to
reaffirm all the objections he makes therein and assert that there
is no objection to the use of the property as a vineyard. But I've
been struck by the presentation of the applicant, all three gentle-
men who spoke. The aesthetics of the public, the aesthetics of the
property and the view from the road has been taken into considera-
tion but not one of them have mentioned the view from the property
on the east which is owned by Petro Stations Ltd. who are objecting
to this. The vineyard is more or less a right. We have no objec-
tion to that. But actually the applicant is asking for a favor to
build a commercial building in a residential zone and a nice one.
and in a location, that for no reason, redhces the value of the
property of the objectant to the east. I still contend from ob-
serving the site plan, that that east boundary, that east wall of
the proposed building is within 54 feet or 50 feet of Mr. Gorman's
boundary. In fact, there's no distance on there from the corner
to that. You have to do it by deducting. We have the same objec-
tion with the parking lot. We want to have this building located
further to the west and preferrably near the road. The property
to the east is the subject of a three lot subdivision which appli-
cation has been made and all that we are awaiting is the article
six approval. And the location of thi~ winery which does not have
to be located in that present proposed location reduces the value
of our property. And Mr. Denis himself said it could be located
along the ridge but got away from the barn for aesthetic reasons
but he didn't get away from our property for aesthetic reasons.
They just said; don't worry about that property, just worry about
that property and see that the aesthetics are in favor of the
vineyard who are asking for a favor to build a commercial build-
ing in a residential district. We ask that the location be not
here and that it be put closer to the road and further from our
boundary including the parking lot. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Thank you Mr. Price. Would you like to
react to that Mr. Lark.
MR. LARK: Well, from a legal point of view, the next door neigh-
bor, Petro Chemical did file a subdivision application. They did
on February 20, 1987. It was granted sketch plan approval on March
30,1987 and given a further extension on September 28th to March
28th of this year. So from a legal point of view, there is no

VINEYARDS
MR. LARK (continued):
application before the Planning Board. It's expired. Here are
the letters to the Planning Board to that effect. Furthermore,
I've got a copy of that application that had been previously sub-
mitted. And when you compare the properties, the one of Petro
Chemical and this one when they'line up, not only did I p6int out
the building is some 73 feet and the parking lot at the closest
spot, I pointed out to you is some 70 feet. But when you look at
lot number one which is the only effected lot in question which is
a five, I believe, acre parcel. It has a ravine running through
the middle of it. And there's only two possible spots that you
could locate a house, looking at the layout on that. Down in this
area which would put it about 120 feet from its own property line
or if they located a house up in this area here, it would locate
it back some 50 feet. And when you line up the scales on the two
maps, I don't believe when you consider the existing disiduous
plants that are already there, it is quite thickly forested. And
with what Dr. Gristina didn't tell you; he's got a stand of ever-
greens, douglas firs and stuff on his property now which he intends
to move over and supplement as the architect has indicated on the
landscape plan, to fill any voids that might occur, especially in
the wintertime. And with the location of the building over here,
it's submitted that you probably won't even see it especially if
they locate the house down in the southerly portion of the lot be-
cause you'll be looking up the hill. You would never see it from
down there. The only possible spot you would see it if they de-
cided to build their house with his permitted sideyards and 20
feet from it and then you'd still have the thickness of the tress.
And the architect did take that into consideration in locating and
putting the screen planting there right along as a buffer to take
that into the effect along with the disiduous trees and the same
thing that happens down here in the parking area. I don't know if
Mr. Price has seen the landscaped plan but we had to submit that
to the Planning Board and I thought the Planner had sent a copy
over to you. But I'm giving you one here tonight which is a dupli-
ca%e of that. That's a duplicate of the one that she has on record.
CHAIrmAN GOEHRINGER: Anything in rebuttal Mr. Price?
MR. PRICE: That's an ingeniuous argument. That our property owner
should locate his building so that he can't see what they've done
instead of leaving our property alone and having his buildings lo-
cated so that we don't have to locate ours in any certain place.
As long as we don't bother them, why should they bother us.
MR. LARK: That's not what I said. I said there's an existing
ravine on that lot which would be an obstruction. And if you look
at the topography, it won't happen.
MR. PRICE. Why can't a person build on a ravihe if he wants to?
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Is there anybody else that would like to
speak either for or against this application? Hearing no further
con~nent, I'll make a motion closing the hearing reserving decision
until later. We thank you all for coming in.

Pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law
State Environmental Quality Review Act and 6NYCRR part 617,
Section 617, Section 617.10 and chapter 44 of the Code of the
Town of Southold, notice is hereby given that Southold Town
Planning Board, as lead agency for this unlisted action
described below has determined that the project will not have a
significant effect on the environment.
DESCRIPTION OF ACTION
The site plan for a Winery known as Gristina Vinyards is
on 48.343 acres located at Cutchogue.
SCTM ~1000-109-1-p/o13.
The project has been determined not to have a significant
effect on the environment for the following reasons:
An environmental assessment has been submitted, reviewed
and it was determined that no significant adverse effects
to the environment were likely to occur should the project
be implemented as planned.
Because the Planning Board feels that this is a minor
improvement on a large parcel of land and a winery is in
keeping with the argricultural interest and base of the
community. They have reacted to our site plan comments, to
mitigate any problems with drainage and we have landscaping
and buffering that will be on the project. The Planning
Board does not see an adverse effect with the project.
Because there has been no corre'spondence received from the
Department of Health Services in the allotted time, it is
assumed that there are no comments or objections from that
agency.
Because there has been no correspondence received from the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in
the allotted time, it is assumed that there are no comments
or objections from that agency.
