14 NORTH FORK SURGICENTER
15 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI: Okay. The
16 second public hearing we have is for
17 North Fork SurgiCenter. This Site
18 Plan is for the proposed conversion
19 of an existing 5, 564 square feet.
20 1-story building (formerly Suffolk
21 County Water Authority office) with a
22 2, 333 square feet. Basement for
23 storage, to a professional office
24 (medical) and 16 parking spaces on
25 1. 15 acres in the Light Industrial
July 10, 2017 5
1 (LI) Zoning District. The property
2 is located at 700 Boisseau Avenue in
3 Southold. SCTM#1000-63-3-2.
4 And at this time, I would like to ask
5 if there is anyone who would like to
6 address the Board for North Fork
7 SurgiCenter, please step to either of the
8 microphones/podiums. You can state your
9 name for the record and please address
10 all your comments to the Board?
11 MR. KRAELING: Thank you. My name
12 is Paul Kraeling. I own the property
13 at 1530 Boisseau Avenue. And we have
14 some concerns regarding traffic flow.
15 We have issues on Boisseau Avenue
16 right now. You can't get out onto
17 Main Road. Hummel Avenue is used big
18 time. Not dust during the summer but
19 during the winter. And people go up
20 and down that road and I have three
21 grandchildren that live on that road.
22 You have a 35 mph speed limit there.
23 When there are school buses there, we
24 have seen traffic with our kids on
25 the bus, 50-55 mph. It' s a dangerous
July 10, 2017 6
1 section there. There is a lot of
2 traffic at this point in time. It's
3 getting more and more all the time.
4 Why does the plan for the traffic
5 flow coming in out of that surgery
6 center? There are a lot of other
7 places in the Town where the surgery
8 center can go. Now I understand that
9 this is possibly eastern Long Island
10 and there is an ambulatory center in
11 Greenport. Why does the reason to
12 have a surgery center at this
13 particular location?
14 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI: The property
15 owners are applying for a use, for
16 the use.
17 MR. KRAELING: And how are they
18 going to do the traffic flow coming
19 out of there? There is no break.
20 There is nothing. Boisseau is a very
21 heavily traveled avenue. Plus you
22 have Hummel coming in and for anybody
23 that lives in this town, know' s what
24 it' s like going back and forth down
25 there. Whatever the consequences are
July 10, 2017 7
1 on the North Road and we haven't seen
2 how that is going to direct, whether
3 that is going to affect the traffic
4 going down towards Boisseau. I mean,
5 we have real issues with the traffic
6 flow of this and people speeding up
7 and down that avenue. And it has
8 become more and more. And for
9 whatever reason, we don't have anyone
10 monitoring. The police don't come
11 and monitor. I mean, they make a
12 small fortune if they put a police
13 car there by the old watch factory,
14 and get these people coming up and
15 down. I mean, it' s a real concern to
16 us. Try and make a left hand turn
17 going into Greenport coming down
18 Boisseau Avenue now. The traffic
19 lines up. It' s very dangerous. You
20 have deli' s. You have a restaurant
21 there. You have the beer
22 distributor. I mean, this is all
23 drawing traffic. People this weekend
24 coming the wrong way up on Main Road.
25 I mean, it has become a very
July 10, 2017 8
1 dangerous situation. To add more
2 traffic and -- I just don't see the
3 logic of putting a surgery center at
4 that point. What is the advantage?
5 Everybody -- all these places are
6 popping up with ambulatory, go into
7 Riverhead. Do we really want to be
8 another Riverhead? I mean, they're
9 building another ambulatory right
10 across from Picnic Bay Hospital.
11 They got one right up the road by
12 Walmart. I mean everybody is trying
13 to get market share. We understand
14 that. But traffic wise, it' s a very
15 dangerous situation here. There is
16 no lights. They're going to be
17 coming out. I just don't see the
18 logic.
19 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI: Okay. Thank
20 you for your comments and your
21 comments will be addressed as part of
22 the referral process. Traffic is
23 always an integral part of the
24 process. Thank you.
25 MS. KRAELING: I am Ann Kraeling.
July 10, 2017 9
1 Also, own a property on Boisseau. I
2 have a question. The sign for this
3 meeting was on an adjacent property
4 to where the old watch crystal
5 factory is. Is that going to be
6 encompassed because that sign was
7 there and disappeared. The sign for
8 this meeting. It was moved some
9 place else. So I would like to know
10 if that adjacent property is being
11 included in this or considering being
12 included in this or is simply the
13 watch crystal factory and will be
14 limited to only 16 parking spaces?
15 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI: Staff just
16 informed me prior to this public
17 hearing that there was some issues
18 with the signage. So I am going to
19 ask the Board that we leave this
20 open, this public hearing open, until
21 next month in order to make sure that
22 everybody understands where the
23 property is. And it is just the one
24 property with 16 parcels. I agree,
25 if there is some confusion with the
July 10, 2017 10
1 sign, I think it' s only fair to have
2 other people to have an opportunity
3 to come in. So we will leave this
4 public hearing open and I will ask
5 for a motion after everyone speaks.
6 And it will be on again, as held open
7 for August 14th. And we will make
8 sure that we get in touch with the
9 applicant and make sure the sign is
10 in the proper place and stays up
11 until the next meeting.
12 MS. KRAELING: Thank you.
13 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI: Thank you.
14 Yes.
15 MR. FISCHETTE: Hi. Good evening.
16 Robert Fischette. Attorney for the
17 applicant. Fernan & Fischette, 320
18 Hampton Road, Southampton. I would
19 like to address a couple of things.
20 Yes, the sign -- I worked with Bryan
21 on the sign. It was stolen, taken
22 and moved accidentally for whatever
23 reason. When I came back to submit
24 all the affidavits last week, it was
25 missing. We replaced it. It is
July 10, 2017 11
1 there still now. What happened to
2 the first one, I really don't know.
3 It was posted as you enter the
4 property, to the right. Just to the
5 front of the fence there, when I
6 posted it. It has been replaced in
7 that same spot.
8 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI: And can you
9 just confirm the property next door
10 is not included in this project?
11 MR. FISCHETTE: It' s not. Just
12 #700. As far as the traffic, of
13 course, my clients don't want there
14 to be any safety concerns with their
15 patients going in and out. When we
16 reviewed this site for all purposes,
17 we felt confident that given the use,
18 it's not a regular medical office.
19 It' s procedures. Procedures are an
20 hour, to two hours. So when you
21 think about a regular medical office,
22 where there might be an appointment
23 every 15 minutes or so. There would
24 be less traffic. Less appointments
25 every day. Less patients. In the
July 10, 2017 12
1 end, it' s a developed site. It' s
2 going to be used presumably for
3 something. It' s zoned for this use.
4 It's a pretty mild use as for this
5 location. I don't think there is
6 anything that use would generate more
7 use than any other permitted use in
8 that area. We understand that the
9 hearing will be held open. So I will
10 be back next month if there is any
11 questions or anything like that.
12 But, that is really all. I think the
13 traffic is, like I said, going to be
14 consistent with any other, if not,
15 less, with the duration of
16 appointments and procedures.
17 CHAIRMAN WILCENSKI : Okay. Thank
18 you. Would anyone else like address
19 the Board on the SurgiCenter?
20 Anyone?
21 (No Response. )
22 So I would --
23 MEMBER RICH: Chairman, I will
24 make a motion that we hold this
25 hearing open until the 14th of
July 10, 2017 13
1 August.
