fo the Board to conduct a field inspection of the premises prior
to any further recommendations or action. It was also noted
that the cluster computations allow for 20 lots and 21 lots
are proposed. Also, it is not known if the LILCO easement has
been deducted from the total gross area pursuant to §100-136 A(1)
of the Town Code.

Mr. Paul Caminiti was present to discuss the minor subdivision
of Salvator Catapano located at Main Road, Southold. The Board
had requested that Mr.- Caminiti schedule an appointment to
discuss the applicant' s intentions with regard to the proposed
lots . Mr. Caminiti stated that the Church of the Open Door was
negotiating with Mr. Staller to purchase the subject 23 acres.
However, negotiations fell through. Then, Mr. Catapano purchased
the property and came to the Church to discuss the possiblity
of selling five acres of the property to the Church. Mr.Caminiti
stated that the Church then entered into a contract to purchase
the five acres of land to build a church and at the present time,
the Church is contract vendees on the five acre proposed lot.
The purchase of this lot is subject to subdivision approval by
the Planning Board and a special exception by the Board of
Appeals. Mr. Catapano' s intended purpose is for greenhouses,
which are already under construction, as well as a private
residence on Lot No. l. Lot No. 2 is contemplated for his
daughter and Lot No. 3 will be a church and Lot No. 4 will
be a nursery. Due to the growing season of the flowers, the
greenhouses had to be costructed prior tothe frost and the
appllicant had received all the necessary approvals to build
the greenhouses so the flowers could be brought in. In Lot
No. 1, he was entitled to build one house anyway, therefore,
he built the house in conjunction with the business on the
whole 23 acres as it is existing. Mr. Caminiti pointed out
that all the construction ' is conforming to the proposed subdivision.
The nurseries would be wholesale and retail, the applicant is
currently a greenhouse grower on the West End, and he proposed
to cover the whole area of proposed Lot No. 4 with greenhouses.
It was noted that there was some confusion over the construction
and whether or not it was legal. Mr. Caminiti noted that permits
Planning Board Page 4 3/24/86
had been received on all the construction. Mr. Caminiti, who
also represents the Church presented a detailed plan for the Church
for the Board to review. It was noted that an application had
been made to the Board of Appeals for the Church since a Church
was permitted in a Agricultural-Residential Zone with aspecial
exception. The Chairman questioned further subdivision and
Mr. Caminiti stated that there would be no further subdivision
on Lot No. 4. Mr. Catapano, who was also present, stated that
he would like to leave the nursery to his son, when he retires
and there are no plans to further subdivide the property. His
intention is to develop the property into a green house operation.
The Board noted that even though the property is residential-
agricultural, he can sell whatever he grows. Mr. Caminiti
questioned if he could submit a preliminary site plan at
this time for the Church. Mr. Orlowski stated that a site
plan could be submitted, however, no action could be taken
until a special exception is granted. Mr. Caminiti further
explained that the greehouses were started simply because
Mr. Catapano had a business in the West End which he is
divesting himself of the business interest in to establish
himself here is Southold. It was strictly time element
that required him to construct the greenhouses prior to
finalizing the subdivision, however, all the approvals
were received since the use is permitted onthe property
even without the subdivision. Mr. Catapano told the- Board
that he had supplied flowers to the World' s Fair, Park Avenue,
and the White House. It was noted that the permits were
issued based on the fact that the 23 acres is one piece of
property and it can sustain all the uses. However, the
clarification was needed when the subdivision proposal
was presented along with the construction.

Merle Wiggin was present for a presubmission conference to
discuss the site plan for Port of Egypt Marina located at
Southold . This proposal was for relocation of existing
fuel tanks. Mr. Wiggin explained that the Board of Health
is requiring the, tanks to be re-installed to meet ARticle
12 of the County Health Code. The plans had been reviewed
by the Health Department and approved. However, the
Health Department approval had not been received. The Department '
of Environmental Conservation approval had been received and
Mr. Wiggin presented a copy to the Planning Board. THis site
plan will also require Board of Appeals and an application
had been made and was pending. A special exception is
needed because it is a marina. in a C zone and the fuel
tanks will be relocated on the marina property. A marina
requires a special exception in the C zone. The Board questioned
the Board of Health approval. Mr. Wiggin stated that he has
verbal approval for the project from the County Board of Health
however he had nothing in writing. The Health Department had
inspected the location and it was acceptable to them. Also,
the tanks had been inspected in 1985. An approval had also
been recieved from the Town Board for a waiver from the moratorium.
The tanks will be above ground and there will be a containment
structure also constructed. The Board of Appeals had scheduled
this for April 3, 1986. The applicants were anxious to proceed
Planning Board Page 5 3/24/86
with the project so it would be in place for the summer season.
Mr. Wiggin stated that Mr. Hindermann of the Building Department
had reviewed this and there were no problems other than the
special exception requirement.
On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr.Latham, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Baord refer the site
plan of Port of Egypt Marine for the relocation and installation
of existing fuel tanks to the Building Department for certification
subejct to: (Plan dated as amended 5/29/85)
1. Receipt of corresopndence from the Suffolk County

1. John and Gloria Shirvell - set-off of 22, 204 square feet
from 43, 984 square feet located at Pine Tree and Billard Roads,
Cutchogue. Mr. Shirvell was present. The Board advised
Mr. Shirvell to see Mr. Lessard regarding an application
to the Board of Appeals since the project proposed lots under
the minimum zoning requirement.
2. Robert Johnsen, subdivision to be known as "Beachwood Acres"-
This proposal is for 4 lots on 7. 1 acres at Soundview Avenue
Southold. One of the lots proposed will require an area
varaince.
3 . Joseph and Agnes Cassidy - set-off of 58 , 484 square .feet
from 2. 624 acres at Reydon Drive, Southold. Mr. Cassidy
was present for this discussion. He stated that the lots
were originally one and one lot was described out by deed
illegally. There is currently one house on the parcel.
4. John Sgrouros - set-off of 20 , 210 square feet from 42, 148
squre feet at Stars Road, East Marion. These lots were on the
filed map of Stars Manor and became merged. The owner always
thought that he had two separate lots. The Health Department
had also approved the lots as two separate lots and they were
applying to the Town to have them re-separated. An application
had been made tothe Board of Appeals.
5. Henry Appel - subdivision of 15. 3 acres at Camp Mineola
Road, Mattituck. The applicant had presented two plans, a
conventional layout and a cluster proposal.
Planning Board Page 6 3/24/86
Mr. Donald Denis, architect and Pastor Ettlemeyer were present
for a presubmission conference to discuss the site plan fo
San Simeon Retire Community located at Chapel Lane, Greenport.
This proposal had received approvals previously, however, amendments
had been made to the proposal, therefore a new submission was
required. The proposal consists of condominimum units for
adults, totalling 144 units - 80 one bedroom and 64 two bedroom.
Mr. Denis presented renderings of the proposal for the Board
to review. A submission was also made answering all of the
questions which the Board had at the previous review. Mr.
Denis explained that the number of two bedroom units was
increased since the market provided a stronger demand for
two bedroom units. It was noted that a plan had also been
submitted for the proposal by H2M indicating the village of
Greenport hookups and drainage. Mr. Denis pointed out that
all of the site plan elements had been addressed. Mattarrazzo
Design, the landscape architect, had also done renderings
of the walkways and signs. Mr. Denis stated that the entrance
to the site and the first cluster had already been constructed.
However, the landscape consultant had changed the parking
configuration and when that happened it started to change the
site plan and another..°application had to be made. Paster
Ettlemeyer stated concern with moving quickly on the site
plan since the Church is trying to keep cost down. Also,
the present offering for the unit provides for full refund
of the entry fee upon withdrawal from the retirement community
for any reason. This would apply to any resident for any
reason at all. Because of that refund cuts had to be made
to the bone. Mr. Ettlemeyer also stated that they were
planning to subsidize the entry fee and/or the monthly maintenance
on the units to make them more affordable. It was the consensus
of the Board to review the materials submitted. The Planner
will also review the surveys and site plans and this matter
will be rescheduled on the next regular Planning Board meeting.

The Board reviewed the lot line changes for Alfred and Barbara
DiNunizio and N. Charles and Sylvia DeLuca. This is located
at Wells Road, Peconic. Currently Mr. DiNunzio must use a right-
-of-way over property ofZanieski for access since he does not
have road frontage on Wells Road. Therefore, Mr. DeLuca was
proposing to sell 6 , 719 squre feet to Mr. DiNunzio so he would
have 150 ' of road frontage on Wells Road. In exchange Mr.
DiNunzio would convey 10 , 485 square feet to Mr. DeLuca so
he could have more waterfront. Mr. Edwards field inspected
the premises and it was the consensus of the Board that the
proposed land swap made alot of .sense since each person would
benefit;and no building lots would be created by the lot line
changes.

Katherine Heins - The Board reviewed this proposal to set-off
18 , 984 square feet from 48, 839 square feet located at Main Road,
Orient. It was noted that a previous application of this proposal
was denied by the Planning Board and the Board of Appeals . Mr.
Latham had made a field inspection of the premises. A foundation
was in on the parcel to be set-off since the applicant applied
to the Building Department for a permit and failed to tell the
Building Department that the set'-off was denied previously.
When it was learned that this was not a legal lot, the Building
Department put a stop work order on the construction. Mr. Lessard
noted that the parcels were purchased under two separate deeds ,
on in 1962 and one in 1964, however because they were in the same
name, they became merged.

RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board refer the following
recommendation to the Board of appeals regarding the set-off for
Katherine and William Heins located at Orient:
The Board.' is opposed to this proposal to set off 18 , 984
square feet from 48, 839 square feet, and recommends that
the premises remain as one lot. However, if evidence is
found, upon review by the Board of Appeals, to substantiate
granting of a variance, the Board requests that the proposed
lot line be relocated to provide for an even split of the
property.
Vote of the Board: Ayes : Orlowski, Mullen, Latham, Ward, Edwards
Robert J. Long- Susan E. Long, agent, was present for the
applicants. The Board reviewed this proposal for a set-off of
31,.669 square feet from 11. 912 acres at Main Road, East Marion.
Mr. Latham had made an inspection of the premises. The Board
questioned why the parcel to be set off was not 80 , 000 square
feet in conformance with the existing zoning. Mrs. Long explained
that the applicant wishes to sell the 31, 669 square foot parcel,
which contains a housq because he can no longer maintain it and
it is a hardship for him to keep. When the house was left vacant
it was vandalized and it is a historic home. Mrs. Long also-
explained that by adding more property to the North a flag lot
would be created which the Board does not favor. Mrs. Long
stated that the remaining acreage is proposed for a minor subdivision
in the future, with three three-acres lots and one two-acre lot.
In this way the proposal would be similar to a cluster concept
development. Mrs. Long pointed out that the lot to be set-off
is approximately three times larger than the surrounding lots in
the area, and Master Plan proposed the northerly portion of the
premises for two acre zoning with the southerly portion on the
road being proposed for one acre, therefore, the proposal is
also in conformity with the Proposed Master Plan Update. The
Board requested covenants and restrictions that the remainder
of the premises be subdivided into no more than four lots.
Mrs. Long stated that the applicant would be agreeable to covenants
and restrictions as per the Board' s request. This proposal was
Planning Board Page 13 3/24/86
Robert J. Long cont. :

and the Board of Appeals was requesting the Planning Board' s
comments.

RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board refer the following
recommendation to the Board of Appeals regarding the proposed set
off of Robert J. Long located at East Marion:

Emilia .Pike - The Board reviewed this proposal for a set-off
at Main Road, Mattituck. The Chairman read correspondence
from the Attorney for the applicant, Abigail Wickham. The
proposal was to set-of'f 40, 000 square feet from 90, 328
square feet, and received a variance from the Board of Appeals.
The Board had requested that the lot be redrawn,. however, the
applicants did not want to comply. The letter from the applicant' s
attorney was read as follows: "The "L" shaped configuration
was created from the express purpose of avoiding a common
driveway while still obtaining a 40 , 000 square. foot lot.
Mrs. Pike feels very strongly about maintaining her own driveway
and as a legal matter we think it is advisable to avoid a
common driveway with certain reciprocal easements and it could
lead to title diffculities, disputes regarding maintenance and
liability problems. While an "L" shaped lot is not the most
deisrable planning configuration, I call to your attention that
there is an "L" shaped lot immediately adjoining this parcel.
Moreover the width of Parcel No. 1 is considerably larger than
the adjoining lot to the west and in keeping with the abutting
lot to the north. Logically the most appropriate solution to
this problem would be that of our first application, a straight
stip with a frontage of 100 feet. This would conform to the lots
to the west and north and leave Mrs . Pike with a parcel that is
not irregular. Unfortunately, the Board of Appeals would not
approve the subdivision. Therefore, we request that the Board
proceed with the processing of this subdivision application. "
On a motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Ward, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board request that the
application of Emilia Pike be amended in accordance with the Board' s
previous request. Lot No. . l would have a lot width of 125 ' and
Lot No. 1 and Lot No. 2 would share a common driveway.

Arshamomaque Island - Philip Ofrias - The Board reviewed the
amended maps for this proposal. This subdivision was reduced
from four lots to three lots all over 5 . 01 acres so the Health
Department would not have any jurisdiction with respect to
Article 6 . It was noted that the easterly property line had
still not been established with respect to this subdivision.
It was also noted that the Suffolk County Planning Committee
expressed the same concern with respect to the easterly
lot line. It was the consensus of the Board to request that
the easterly property line for proposed Lot No. 3 be established
at this time -prior to any further review or action by the Board.
On a motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Edwards , it was
RESOLVED that the Southold TownPlanning Board grant a 90-day

Coster Funeral Home - Mr. Lessard brought up discussion with
regard to this site plan. It was noted that construction was
almost finished and Mr. Coster was requesting a certificate of
occupancy so he could have an open house on April 6. Mr. Lessard
had recommended placing all the asphalt in the parking area, except
the finished course. In this way, the layers would have time to
settle and any problems could be worked out prior to the top coat.

regard to this proposal.
