7: 30 p.m. Public hearing on the question of approval of
the minor subdivision of N. Charles DeLuca located at
Southold for 4 lots on 10 acres.
Mr. Orlowski: First order of business is a public hearing
on the question of approval of the minor subdivision of
N. Charles DeLuca located at Main Road, Southold. This
is four lots on 10 acres. We have proof of publication
in the Long Island Travler Watchman signed by Pat Wood
and notorized by Barbara Forbes, we also have proof of
publication in the Suffolk Times signed by Heather Cusack
and notorized by Mary Deegnan. I will dispense with the
reading of the metes and bounds, if anyone out there has
a problem with that , please let me know. At this time
everything in the file is in order. I will ask if there
is anyone out there with objections to this minor subdivision?
Roger Roth: Mr. Chairman, members, of the Board, Miss Schultze,
I am a resident of Beixedon I own a home on Hippodrome Pond,
which is concerned with this subdivision. I have lived .
here now over 13 years, my family at least 37 before me.
We have noticed problems in the area of this so called
subdivision which is mainly a drainage problem. The north
side of Main Road is quite a bit higher elevation wise
than the lower side so that when we get these terrential
rains, 2" - 3" of rain in a matter of hours or so, that
Planning Board Page 2 5/5/86
Mr. Roth: whole area in there is flooded. And, I believe
the highway department is well aware of this problem. Now,
this flooding runs down the highway and down into a drainage
area in to Hippodrome Pond which drainage cuts right across
these lots in the lower part of this subdivision, I think
it is lot No. 3. But, I think with opening up another
easement onto the Main Road from this subdivision that the
highway department should have some thoughts on their
position on the zoning of this subdivision. Secondly ,
I happen to be an environmental ecologist, I have a degree
from the College of Forestry in Syracuse. I also have a
Doctor' s Degree in Agriculture from Cornell University and
my main concern about this subdivision is the ecology problem
in the Hippodrome Pond. Now, this situation on the North
end of Hipprodrome Pond is all marsh grass , where the
drainage comes in and where the lots are to face on the pond.
This is the area where the wild fowl nest, . swans, the mallerd
ducks and some canadian geese. This type of nesting place
will go by the birds if these lots are zoned and houses
put in. In .addition to that, because the drainage is down
towards the pond we have had alot of drainage from the
farm, pesticides from the farm going into that pond and
the minute they hit the pond, the blue claw crabs, the
killey fish and everything disappear. There is a complete
wipe out for another three to six months. But, with development
in this areaI believe that the ecology of this pond which
is very poor slow moving tidal pond. It is not like the
Mill Creek drainage from the .Hasamomaque Pond, maybe you
would get drainage of 1 hour to 12 hour a day at the hig
tide. If we get sepage, sewage seepage, other drainage
off the ponds, I feel that the ecology of the pond is going
to be affected and it is now under the jurisdiction of the
wetlands authority here in NY State. But that might be
an objection if you look at it that way. The first point
about the drainage should be a consideration by the Highway.
I think that is all I have to say. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: May I have your name , please, for the Secretary.
Mr. Roth: My name is Roger Roth and I 'm at P.O. Box 982
Southold.
Mr. Orlowski: Thank you. Is there anyone else with objections
to this minor subdivision? Hearing none. Are there any
endorsements of this subdivision?
Charles DeLuca: My name is Charles DeLuca. I am the gentlemen
that is applying for this application. I heard this gentlemen
say some very interesting things. He calaborates with why
I am putting this application for the subdivision. The farm,
the drainage from that farm is the only threat to the ecology.
] This is why I waited twenty years to put an application
in. There is twenty years I 'could have made the application
when I bought this property. I also am an ecologist and
I also have a home in Beixedon. So, I look for the best
interests of the community because this is my home. And,
as far as the subdivision is concerned by putting only
Planning Board Page 3 5/5/86
Mr. DeLuca: four lots in over 10 acres, I am maintaining
the structure of this community. The farms is the only
thing that runs off with the pesticide and so forth. The
water that runs into that pond does not come from rain,
it comes from the overflow from the pumps from the irrigation.
As far as the wetlands is concerned, you can check with
the conservation people who have washed their hands of the
matter and say that they have no jurisdiction. That land
is high enough for a natural drain and they gave me a
letter to that effect. And that is all I have to say at
this point. Thank you.
Mr. Orlowski: Thank you. Are there any other endorsements
of this subdivision?
William Moore, esq. : My name is William Moore, from the
law offices of Richard Lark at Cutchogue. We are Mr.
DeLuca' s attorneys. I have a letter here I would like to
give the Board that addresses primarily the Suffolk County
Planning Commission' s letter of last summer. (Mr.Moore submitted
the letter to the Chairman) . I will skip the comments.
made here and get right to their letter, and address some
of the concerns because it directly relates to what we
are asking you to consider. The County, in their wisdom
disapproved the application for subdivision and in doing
so set forth a series of reasons dated August 9, 1985 .
The first of which was that the proposal was going to create
land locked parcels. The proposed right-of-way addresses
that problem, more importantly .it has been a policy of this
Board to. not create flag lots so we have access road, but
we found it more reasonable to go with the right-of-way,
and that is a policy of our Board out here. In accordance
with and in compliance with tht policy, so that the question
of landlocked parcels really is not appropriate for the
way we do things out here and the way we prefer to see
the property subdivided. Their second comment is that it
is obvious, and there must have been doing some clarvoyance
down there, but that Lot No. 1 can be subdivided in the
future. So we responded not necessarily directly to
that comment but covenants and restrictions were filed
at your request prohibiting the future division of Lot
No. 1 without prior approval of this Board. I think we
responded on issue No. 2 from the County' s letter. Issue
No. 3 and one that was raised here today is interesting.
The County proclaims that the storm water runoff is going
to go out to the State Road and I think the conversation
here to night is that everyone believes that anything is
going to run from the road down across this property and
not the other way around. A look .at a topographic map would
bear that out. I don' t think the water is going to run up
hill. Finally , the County suggests a cul-de-sac for the
access to these lots. I think this Board has considered
that and rejected that suggestion looking at the particular
width of the subject property as not being an appropriate
way to go about that. Additionally, that would prevent
any future connections and that would prevent a road comming
in the from the property to the East. A cul-de-sac would
more or less prevent any future connection of property
Planning Board Page 4 .5/5/86
Mr. Moore: that would. adjoin for a continued and rational
set of roads in the subdivision. I believe Mr. DeLuca addressed
the question of storm water runoff and evironmental concerns.
He had a negative declaration last summer, the map shows
a 100 ' setback up and above where you will not be down on
the water. If you have any questions, Mr. DeLuca is
here and I am sure he will answer them for you and if I
can, I will do so.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, thank you. Anyone else here endorsing
this subdivision? Hearing none. Is there anyone out there
neither pro nor con but may have some information pertaining
to this subdivision that might be of interest to this Board.
Hearing none. Any questions from the Board, Mr. Mullen,
(none) ; Mr. Latham (none) ; Mr. Edwards (none) ; Mr. Bryer
(none) .
Mr.Moore: Mr. Chairman, I would like to add one more comment
and that it that we have negotiated with the Villge of Greenport
water and are in the process of putting this together so
that water will come down from the Main Road down to these
lots, if. that is a concern.
Mr. Orlowski: Yes, I was going to ask if a bond has been
established.
Mr_ . Moore: I don' t think they have gotten to the point
of the bond. They have negotiated the terms and I believe
the contract is 10 , 000 dollars. The Village of Greenport
has approved the concept and I think we are discussing now
whether the Village of Greenport will do the work or whether
we are going to do the work, but they have approved that
the contract is being worked out for $10 , 000.
Mr. Orlowski: Okay, the Board would like to have that
as soon as possible. Okay, being no further questions,
I will declare this hearing closed and thank you for
coming down.
7: 45 p.m. Mr. Kowalski was present for 'a presubmission conference
to discuss the site plan for K and K Plumbing located at
Traveler' s Street, Southold. This proposal is for construction
of a retail plumbing store. Mr. Kowalski stated that his
intention was to open up a store to sell hardward and plumbing
parts, and to have a place to keep his trucks. The Board
questioned if this would be a hardware store too or just
plumbing supplies. Mr. Kowalski clarified that this would
be basically plumbing supplies. The Board .also questioned
if this will be retail and wholesale. . Mr. Kowalski stated
that it would be retail only. Mr. Latham questioned the
truck parking and Mr. Kowalski stated that this would be
on the inside of the property. Mr. Bryer stated that
handicapped parking is shown, however, the stall must
be widened. Mr.Bryer also stated that he reviewed the
parking and it is sufficient for this use. The Chairman
stated that the Board should review the conditions of the

Mr. Garrett Strang was present to discuss the site plan
of Sterling Idea Ventures located at Main Road, Mattituck
for construction of a professional office/retail complex.
The Chairman requested that a landscape plan be submitted
for this proposal. Mr. Strang stated that he did not recall
this as being one of the items requested in the Board' s
initial request for information, however, the Chairman
stated that it was requested at a previous meeting. Mr.
Strang stated that the landscaped areas are shown on the
plan, but there is no specific landscape plan at this
time. Mr. Strang also noted that the agenda refers
to professional offices only but the developer would
like to have the option to mix offices with retail
since both area permitted in this B1 zone. Mr. Orlowski
stated that the waiver under the moratorium was to allow
offices only, however, the moratorium is no longer in place
and therefore the Board can consider all the uses permitted
under the existing zone. Mr. Strang .stated that his client
would probably proceed to rent the units as offices, however,
if this does not prove to be - favorable to the client, he would
like to exercise his option to have retail stores. Mr. Strang
Planning Board Page 7 5/5/86
Sterling Idea Ventures Cont. -
Mr. Strang stated that there would not be any uses that are
not compatible with the surrounding area or the zone.
Mr. Mullen questioned if there were any projected tenants
for this project. Mr. Strang stated that. he was not aware
of any. Mr. Latham stated that while he would prefer it
to become offices, there is nothing to prevent all the units
from being retail space. Mr. Strang stated that this is
allowing in the zoning. Mr. Latham questioned if the applicant
would covenant..that only a certain percentage of the units
would be converted to retail space. At this time, Mr.
Robert Celic, applicant, approached the Board. Mr. Celic
stated that the initial proposal was for offices only but
technically: and legally it is zoned for office and retail
so he would not be willing to covenant or restrict anything.
He stated that the plan is laid out to have three separate
buildings, not like a shopping center, and it will tastefully
done. Mr. Celic stated that projected cost is $700 , 000 and
therefore he did not want to restrict any possibilities.
The total square footage of area is 10, 000 square feet.
Mr. Bryer questioned the parking calculations and if any
consideration was given in computing the parking to the
fact that if a building is rented to a Doctor, more parking
would be required under the Code. Mr. Bryer stated that
with retail or office the parking is calculated on one
.space per 100 square feet of floor area, while a Doctor' s
Office requires 5 spaces per physican and if a building
has 6 Doctors in it - " it will require more parking. Mr.
Strang stated that the calculations were based on professional
office only and not for physicians. Mr. Strang stated in
previous works with Doctors offices, the parking breakdown .
actually worked out to 1 space per. 150 square feet of floor
area so that the 1 to 100 would address that issue. He felt
that the 1 to 100 is a strict formula so there should be
sufficient parking. Mr. Bryer requested clarification
since if one of the buildings become a medical office with
8 to 10 physicans the Code requires 5 spaces for each physican.
Mr. Strang stated that the floor was 1 to 100 based strictly
on floor area, and not the actual--.net floor area. Mr. Orlowski
questioned if the buildings would be constructed in sections.
Mr. Strang stated that the buildings would be phased based
on demand. Mr. Orlowski also requested that the plan note
that there will be asphalt parking, and roof drainage. Mr.
Strang stated that the final submission will show roof drainage
once the County has located the pools since tis has to be
coordinated. Mr. Lessard noted that any decisions with respect
to the moratorium are null and void. since the moratorium is
no . longer in effect.
On a motion .made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planing Board refer the site
lan of "Sterling Idea Ventures" for construction of a professional
office/retail complex at Main Road, Mattituck .to the Building
Department for certification, (survey dated as amended 4/21/86)
subject to the following:

Mr. Paul Caminiti, esq. was present to discuss the
proposed minor subdivision for Salvatore and Jeanne
Catapano located at Main Road, South Harbor Road
and Main Bayview Road, Southold. Mr. Caminiti requested
tht the Board amend condition No. 1 in the conditional
resolution of sketch plan approval. This proposal is for
4 lots on 22 acres. Mr. Caminiti stated that the Board
had approved the sketch map subject to no further subdivision
on any lot in perpetuity. However, he believed that Mr.
Planning Board Page 8 5/5/86
Catapano would not want to place any restrictions on the

Mr. Henry Raynor was present for an informal appointment to
discuss the proposal for Richard Carr to be known as "The
Norris Estates" located at New Suffolk 'Avenue and Camp
Mineola Road, Mattituck for 95 condominium units.
The Chairman explained to the audience that this was not
a public hearing and only an informal appointment with the
Board, and he would not entertain any comments from the audience
at this time. He stated that this was for information only
and any concerns should be put in writing to the Board. Mr.
Raynor introduced Mr. Jack Hart of Pelletreau and Pelletreau
the attorney for the applicant. Mr. Raynor stated that he
understood this was an informal appointment to discuss at a
preliminary stage the concept of this proposal. Mr Raynor
stated that the parcel is 27 acres and is M zoned. Mr. Raynor
that the prior submission under the Estate of Bruce Norris
proposed 132 units, and the property is now owned by Mr. Carr.
Mr. Raynor stated that he wanted to review with the Board the
conceptual layout and the road configuration, the area of
Camp .Mineola Road, the ingress and egress, the type of
and amount of improvement that will need to be done.
Mr. Raynor stated that he requested the Board to peruse
the maps and consider the orientation of the buildings with
regard to the layout and solar access to the buildings. Mr.
Raynor sated that they wished the Board to explore the
utilites in regard to water system which will be in conformity
with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, as
well. as the sewage treatment system which will be terrtiary.
All utilities proposed will be underground and we further
would like to have any comments which the Board would like
to make with regard to the amenities package. .Mr. Raynor
stated that the amenity package included a swimming pool,
club house anf four tennis courts. Mr. Raynor introduced
the people on staff to work on the site plan. The Principal
of the project Mr. Carr, Mr. Hart, esq. of Pelletreau and
Pelletreau, the architect Sol Niego, Walter Dunn the traffic
engineer, Sam McLendon of H2M. Mr. Raynor and Mr. Hart stated
that they were aware that the sketch before the Board is
preliminary and does not comply with the elements for the
site plan as called for in theTown Code.. The stated that at
Planning Board Page 10 5/5/86
Norris Estates Cont. -
this point they are asking for conceptual ideas and review.
Mr. Raynor requested that the Board address this action as
a Type I under the .State Environmental Quality Review Act
which is significant. The Chairman stated that this is
not a .presubmission conference it is only a fact finding
mission for the Board. The Board is aware of the scale
of the project and it was felt that if the applicant was
brought in before the Board the plan could be reviewed
prior to pre-submission conference, the Board cold review
the conceptual design. The Chairman invited comment on the
project as this proceeds and requested that all comments
and concerns be addressed in writing. The Chairman stated
that the major question which the Board has at this time
is with regard to density and the sewer and water, the
proposal would be allowed to have two units per acre with
water and sewer and and four .units without. The Chairman
stated that the Board was a aware that the applicant' s
were pursuing a sewer and water system. The Chairman
questioned if an application had been made to the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services. Mr. Hart stated that
there was no application made to date and H2M is working on a
water and sewer study. Preliminary reports have been made
and every thing has to have the approval of the Health Department
and all various agencies prior to going forward with it.
Mr. Orlowski stated that the Board questions the density
being proposed, because if sewer and water are not provided
then the sketch layout of 95 units is not valid. Mr. Raynor
stated that if they cannot meet the standards of the Health
Department, they will certainly reassess the project. Mr.
Mullen questioned the area of the property of the area. He
noted on the survey that the area is .27. 01 acres or 1, 176, 555
square feet. He stated that his calculations indicated 1, 080 , 000
square feet. Mr. Mullen also stated that he would appreciate
if the applicant' s would advise the approximate size of the
unit. Mr. Carr stated that. the basic unit will be three
bedroom approximately 1800 - 2000 square feet with 250 of
the units two bedroom approximately 1600 square feet. Mr.
Carr stated that this is subject to further revision because
the marketing is not completed. Mr. Mullen questioned i
if the units have garages and Mr. Carr replied that they
did have the garages, with off street parking and guest
parking will also be off street. Mr. Mullen also questioned
if the necessary fire protection will be installed. Mr.
Carr stated that he would and Mr. Raynor stated that he
anticipated that they will be installing fire protection
to the specifications of the Town and the Mattituck Fire
District. Mr. Latham questioned if excess water would be
utilized in other areas of the community. Mr. Hart stated
that this is under consideration. Mr. Bryer stated that
Camp Mineola Road will have to be brought up to Town specs.
He also stated that more than likely the 50 ' right-of- way
on the east side will also have to be brought up to Town
specs. Mr. Bryer also stated that he has some questions
on the lagoon areas which he will bring up at a later date
when more information is submitted. Mr. Mullen questions
if the units will be developed in sections. Mr. Carr stated
Planning Board Page 11 5/5/86
Norris cont.
that it will be phased in so far as natural progression for
construction proficeincy. But it is not the intention to
go to phase one, phase two, etc. Mr. Mullen questioned if
the lagoons will be man made. Mr. Carr stated that they
will be man made. There were several questions from the
audience and the Chairman stressed that this is not a public
hearing and the Board would not be taking any action on this
proposal until the question of sewer and water are answered.
The Chairman also advised that there might be one or two
additional information meetings prior to .a presubmission conference.
Mr. Orlowski also stated that there will be additional hearings
on the impact statement and a final hearing on the entire project.
The chairman requested that all questions and concerns be
addressed in writing. Mr. Bryer questioned if the buildings will
be one story or two story since that will determine the separation
between buildings. Mr. Carr stated that the 3 bedroom units
will be two story with 250 of them will be two bedroom with
one story. Mr. Bryer also questioned a 28 ' wide paved surface.
Mr. Carr stated that it will be a 28 ' wide paved surface and
not a right - of - way.. Mr. Carr stated that they are not contemplating
the right-of-way as the main ingress and egress that will be a secondary
entrance only. Mr. Mullen stated that rather than spinning
wheels the Board would prefer to see the sewer and water.
Mr. Orlowski questioned if water would be provided to other
areas and Mr. Hart stated that this is under consideration
and at a meeting held with the residents of the area, this
statement was made. Mr. Orlowski questioned the intent for
parcel two, the -remaining parcel. Mr. Raynor stated that
it is zoned A-Residential and is not part of the application.

concern about people using this docking as a boatel by spending
a week or two on their boats. Mr. Hart stated that he spoke
to Mr. Fenton who is a local resident and has assured him

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law

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 the action described below has determined that
the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
DESCRIPTION OF ACTION
The minor subdivision of "Russett acres" for Mary and Henry
E. Raynor,Jr. is for four lot son 13 acres located at Sound
Avenue, Mattituck Tax map. No. 1000-121-5-1.
Planning Board Page 17 5./5/86
The project has been determined not to have a significant
effect on the environment for the following reasons:
An environmental assessment has been submitted which indicated
that no significant adverse effects to the environment were
likely to occur should the project be implemented as
planned.
The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has no
objection to our designation of lead agency. They have received
an application and it is incomplete. It appears that the
project can be served by Subsurface sewage disposal and individual
water supply systems (pending a test well analysis) . The
proposed realty development appears to conform to Article
6 lot size requirements. The department is awaiting test
will analysis prior to further processing. If test well
analysis indicate naturally potable water, the department
would agree with our initial determination.
Because there has been no correspondence from the Department
of Environmental Conservation in the alotted time, it is
assumed that there are no comments nor objections from
that agency.
The project will meet all the requirements of the Code
of the Town of Southold Subdivision of Land Regluations.
