Pierce Rafferty: Mr. Vice-Chairman, I offer the following:
WHEREAS, on September 20, 2017, the Planning Board granted Final Approval to this
Site Plan application; and
WHEREAS, on October 2, 2017, the applicant's agent met with representatives of the
Office of the Town Engineer and the Planning Board Chairman at the site to inspect the
site; and
WHEREAS, on October 13, 2017, the applicant's agent submitted a request, via e-mail,
to amend page PH-1 Construction Phasing Plan of the approved site plan, and that this
request involved clearing and grading interior portions of later phases of the project area
for the purpose of obtaining fill material to complete Phase 1; and
WHEREAS, on October 13, 2017, the applicant submitted an Expanded Environmental
Assessment for Construction Phasing, which assessed this request and analyzed the
potential impacts as described in the FEIS and Findings Statement for this project as
they related to the proposed clearing program change; and
WHEREAS, on October 16, 2017, the applicant submitted a letter with details of the
request to clear portions of Phases 2, 3 and 4 during Phase 1, as well as a Sketch Plan
identifying the areas to be cleared; and
WHEREAS, the alternative to amending the timing of some of the clearing in later
phases was to import fill material, and this alternative would cause a significant increase
in truck traffic; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board, after review of the Expanded Environmental
Assessment, found that the potential adverse impacts of the proposed clearing program
change will not be significant as all the mitigation measures including wildlife sweeps,
the Community Air Monitoring Program, the Soil Management Plan (dust control,
arsenic testing), the Construction Health and Safety Plan, and the Construction Traffic
Management Logistics Plan remain in place; be it therefore
RESOLVED, that the Southold Town Planning Board hereby amends page PH-1,
Construction Phasing Plan of the Site Plan for the Heritage at Cutchogue, also known
as Harvest Pointe, to address encountered field conditions, as set forth in the letter
dated October 16, 2017 from the applicant, and further discussed in the Expanded
Environmental Assessment for Construction Phasing dated October 13, 2017.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Vice-Chairman Rich: 6.01 p.m. - 870 Love Lane Professional Office and Apartment
This proposed Site Plan is for the conversion of an existing two-story single family
dwelling to a 1,430 sq. ft. Professional office on the first floor and 830 sq. ft. apartment
on the second floor with nine parking stalls on 0.7 acres in the Residential Office (RO)
zoning district, Mattituck. The property is located at 870 Love Lane, in Mattituck.
SCTM#1000-140-2-17
Vice-Chairman Rich: Anyone wishing to address the Planning Board on this matter
can step to either one of the microphones. We do ask that you address your comments
and concerns to the Planning Board.
Donald Feiler: Good evening, I am Donald Feiler representing the Racanelli's tonight.
To explain a little about this, Residential Office is the zone and it's an existing five
bedroom house on 3/ of an acre and there will be no additions to the building except
there will be a ramp from the parking area to the new entry to the first floor office. The
exterior will be reconstructed, no changes to the exterior except for enclosing the 8x12
covered porch that will be converted to habitual space within the office space. There will
be a new gravel driveway on the exterior with a new entry, parking for nine spaces for
the office and two for the apartment. The second floor apartment will be one bedroom,
there will be one entrance at the back of the building, there will be a sprinkler system for
the office, conforming with the state building code. That pretty much sums it up, if you
have any questions.
Vice-Chairman Rich: Any questions? At this point we don't have any questions, please
be sure to write your name down there and maybe stick around in case there are any
questions that come up. Anyone else? Ma'am, step forward please.
Margaret Ashton: Margaret Ashton and I have the property directly across from 870
Love Lane. First of all, I question the number of parking spaces that are going in for
office, residential office, it sounds more like a commercial office with that many parking
places going in. The proposed driveway I question because it's very, very close to a
busy intersection, Route 48 and Love lane, it has now turned into, close to a mess.
Driving instructions for big trucks doesn't indicate that big trucks aren't allowed on Love
Southold Town Planning Board Page 116 October 16, 2017
Lane, so consequently we have large trucks going down Love Lane constantly, besides
a lot of cut through traffic because we have no stop light there. It is extremely
dangerous for the people heading east because it's practically a blind corner as to what
they are going to be coming into as far as driveways, as I've learned painfully. The cars
that are heading west and have to come across the double highway have accelerated
before they even reach love lane to 20 and sometimes 30 miles per hour and passing
the various driveways they couldn't stop if they were paid, again I learned this the hard
way. Putting the driveway at 870 directly across from my house would put them very
close to this busy intersection its practically saying here is an accident already for you.
would recommend that the driveway remain to the right of the residence, go around
back, have it screened off from Love Lane completely and make your exit onto Route 48
where you would only be negotiating traffic from one direction. In this case they'll be
negotiating traffic from two directions with what they are proposing.
Vice-Chairman Rich: Thank you for your comments Ms. Ashton. Would anyone else
like to address the Planning Board?
Maryann Price: Maryann Price, I own the property at 730 Love Lane, which is South of
the project. I just want to comment on Ms. Ashton's recommendation for the original
driveway being used, which I don't feel is practical anyway based on the site plan but
that would bring cars, my house is five feet from the property line, so if the original
driveway was going all the way to the back of the house and around the back these cars
would be pulling in and out right by back door. I would be against that driveway being
used as a main driveway. There are already two driveways on the street that when cars
turn off route 48 there are two pieces of property, I don't see that it's going to be any
different than all the cars that are currently driving down love lane, that this is going to
cause more accidents, that the driveway should be relocated. Do you understand what
am saying?
Vice-Chairman Rich: I think I do. Please write your name down. Thank you Ms. Price.
Bob Price: Bob Price, also at 730 Love Lane. This comment isn't directly pointed at this
site plan but it is related and it is something that you gentlemen and ladies should
consider with future plans. The traffic situation on Love Lane is out of control, now this
may be a more appropriate topic for the Town Board but there are more semis driving
up and down that block with clear signage that there shouldn't be any big trucks on it
and there is no enforcement. Truckers are a club, they use CB radios, I realize they are
using GPS to get where they are going and Love Lane is a real short connection
between Main Road and 48, but if the police aggressively enforced the trucks at that
weight, the truckers will get the message. Thank you.
Vice-Chairman Rich: Thank you for your comments. Anyone else wish to address the
Planning Board?
Pierce Rafferty: I make a motion to close the hearing.
