Mr. Alden Young, P.E. , reported to the Board on
Laurelwood Estates . He presented four (4) prints
showing Plan and Profile of Roads in "Laurelwood
Estates" . Mr. Young said the roads do not vary greatly
in regard to the original profiles, but the main
drainage comes from the lots surrounding the circle
intersection. The Board asked Mr. Young how many
Southold Town Planning Board - 2 - March 28 , 1973
catch basins would be needed to take care of the water.
Mr. Young said he thought four more catch basins with
three rings and a dome, and have the existing ones
cleaned out would do it.
THE CHAIRMAN: The hearing for the subdivision
entitled Land ' s End at Orient Point was recessed some
time ago because the file was not complete. It is
now complete. I will reconvene the hearing. It
does not require a legal notice. The file is now
complete. The subdivision has met the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance and the Pules and regulations for
the subdivision of land. I will limit any statements
to a simple statement that anyone is for it or against
it. Does anyone wish to speak in opposition to the
subdivision Land ' s End? (There was no response. )
Does anyone wish to speak in favor of the subdivision
Land ' s End? (There was no response. ) I will declare
the hearing closed with a note that the file is complete.
Lefferts P. Edson, Esq. and Messrs . Haberman and
Donovan came before the Board and presented preliminary
plans and application for Pebble Beach Realty subdivision
at East Marion for approval. Mr. Haberman said they
know the submission for preliminary approval must be
made two weeks prior to a meeting. The plans are in
accordance with the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning
Ordinance. Mr. Haberman said they have met with the
Soil Conservation Department and have not elected to
proceed in the direction they suggested since it is
not official . The Chairman said the Board is concerned
with the distance back from the top of the bluff, and
the frontage of the lots on the two loops . There should
be a restriction on all shore front lots that no under-
cover or trees can be removed and everything must drain
back away from the bluff. The Planning Commission was
talking about 70 feet setback from the top of the bluff .
This is what the Planning Board had in mind when the
proposal was first brought up. A restriction would go
on the filed map that no structure would be built in
front of the setback line.

Southold Town Planning Board - 3 - March 28 , 1973
Mr. Haberman said the subdivision is 260 lots
and 163 acres , based on half acre zoning with sewer
and water. The property was purchased by Pebble
Beach Realty last November . The Board informed them
the maps would be sent to the Suffolk County Planning
Commission, but the Planning Board had not yet granted
Preliminary Approval . The Board also asked what
percentage of the total area was for park and playground
and Mr. Haberman said approximately 2 1/20 . The Board
informed them the requirements may well change before
this gets to a final hearing. The Town Attorney has
said that a subdivision must be incconformity with
the rules and regulations at the time of the final
hearing, and the Town Attorney has also approved for
public hearing the proposed amendments to the rules
and regulations for the subdivision of land, including
a 5% requirement for park and playground. Mr. Haberman
asked what the Board felt about the concept for highways
as designed by the Soil and Water Conservation Department.
The Board informed Mr. Haberman that they were kept posted
on the tentative design and is interested in it, but did '
not think it would be adopted as a standard for street
design. It would have to be at the express request of
the developer because there has to be deed restrictions
and covenants so that the easement is maintained. It
is also estimated that this method is more expensive
that the present method with curbs and gutters.
Rudolph Bruer, Esq. , presented a revised map for
a proposed minor subdivision for Andrew Hahn at Peconic,
showing only three lots . The last lot,#3 will be
Mr. Hahn ' s residence. The Board told Mr. Bruer there is
still the problem of length to width ratio. The Board
will hold the map for further discussion.

Mr. Jack Levin appeared before the Board and
presented the , site plans for addition to Sound
Shore Motel. Mr. Levin said the foundation for the
new- building will be poured concrete. The Board
inquired about the setback of the building from the
high water mark; the plan showed. the setback was
approximately 90 feet from high water. The Board
also inquired as to what he plans to do with the
existing fresh water pond. Mr. Levin said he plans
to do some landscaping around it. Mr. Levin also
said the poi-ch on the north side of the building
would extend 8 feet out from the building, but not
extend over the bluff . The Board asked Mr. Levin
if he could get flood plain insurance and he -said
he could but it was expensive.
Mr. John. Olsen, Engineer for Driftwood Cove
(Greenport Homes) and associates appeared before
the Board and presented proposed site plan for
apartment units. Mr. .Olsen said they will be using
the existing sewer lines and water lines and have
laid out the buildings in manner to conform with
them. They propose 100 single bedroom units and
will modify the existing buildings to single bedrooms .
.Theytotal bedrooms now existing . is 50 to 58 . The:
Board told Mr. Olsen that the County Planning Commission
wants no access off the Main Road. Mr. Olsen said
the only aecess will be off Ninth Street. They are
working on an agreement now with' the village. All
facilities will be electric, with the poles underground.
Mr. Olsen said their attorney, Mr. Lechtrecker had
started abandonment procedures . Mr. Olsen showed
the Board plans of front elevations with two different
types of roofs . The buildings will be part, one story
and part two story. The access on Ninth Street will
be taken from the existing curb cuts . The Board asked
about drainage structures for surface runoff. Mr. Olsen
said the plans are .based on a two inch rainfall .
The Chairman informed Mr. O1sen, the present requirements
are more than for a two inch rainfall and asked if
their proposed structures would hold two inches from the.
whole area. Mr. Olsen said they would hold 1000 .
Mr. Olsen said a test hold ,had been made, but they do
not have the results yet. The existing buildings will
Southold Town Planning Board - 5 - March 28 , 1973
have new roofing, siding, windows , interior, a paured
concrete foundation with crawl space and electric heat.
The Board inquired about facilities for handicapped.
Mr. Olsen said there will be two apartments provided
near the laundry room building. That building, and all
the buildings will be wood framed; but there won 't be
any gasoline stored. The Board said some access should
be made for the surplus parking area near the railroad
tracks for the rest of the area. The Board agreed to
permit a breezeway between the buildings in this area
for access to the parking area. It will be a roofed
over breezeway. The plans will be sent to the County
Planning Commission for final review.
Mr. Frank Knispel presented the site plan for the
proposed parking area for Anchor Inn at Mattituck.
The Board told Mr. Knispel the Sand and Gravel Ordinance
is an ordinance of the Town Board and the Planning Board
has no jurisdiction over it. The Board will hold decision
on this until later in the evening.
Mr. Knispel also presented the plan for the storage
buildings for Naugles Dock. The Board asked Mr. Knispel
what he plans to use for the retaining walls and he said
creosote ties. Mr. Knispel indicated on the map the
highest point water has reached to his knowledge. The
Board asked Mr . Knispel if he could leave the terrace
natural by putting in sheet steel instead of grading it.
Mr, Knispel said the cost would be very high, although
he would like to keep .it in a natural state. The Board
suggested sending the map to the Soil and Water Conservation
District for their comments on retaining the slope.
Mr. Knispel said he would take a copy of the map to them
the next day and the Chairman said he would call and let
them know he was coming.
The Board discussed the proposed minor subdivision
for Hatier off Platt Road, Orient. The Board will require
a legal instrument that the property will not be resubdivided.
A decision on approval will be made later in the evening.
