The Board read a letter in the file from the architect, Garrett Strang, requesting that the Board allow the existing driveway to be open for emergency ingress and egress. On the previous site plan for this property, the Board approved a plan which eliminated this drive-way onto Main Road. The Board agreed that since the original approved plan did not include this driveway, the driveway should be off the present site plan. The Board felt that the ingress and egress off Deport Lane was sufficient for the project. They noted that it would be hard to restrict traffic to that of only for emergency vehicles. On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Mullen, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board approve the site plan of Dr. Joseph Lizewski and supplemental landscape plan for the construction of a racquet ball facility at Depot Lane, and Main Road, Cutchogue, plan dated April 6, 1984, subject to removal of the access from .the Main Road.

This proposal is for construction of retail and restaurant at County Route 48, Mattituck. (Formerly "The Hut") . Town Planners David Emilita and James Bryer made a field inspection of the premises. It was indicated that more information is needed on the site plan regarding set-backs, and they would like to the principal entrance at Middle Road, rather than on to the County road. They also requested that consideration be given to moving parking from under the high tension electrical wires. Mr. Ward indicated that when the ' actual square footage for retail space is computed, some of the parking may be eliminated. The Board also questioned the small car parking indicated on the plan, since it is not mentioned in the Town, Code. Mr. Lessard, who also looked at the property pointed out -to the Board that the East property boundary slopes down and he cautioned that adequate drainage be provided so that the drainage does not go onto someone elses property. Mr. Lessard also recommended landscaping under the electrical wires rather than parking. It was .the consensus of the Board to request more site plan information on the plan and upon receipt of same will make another field inspection. arid review. The Board concurred that consideration be given to more landcaping and no parking under the electrical high-tension wires. On a motion made by Mr. Latham, seconded by Mr. Edwards, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board request compliance with the previous recommendation that the proposed storage building for the Seven-Eleven Stores located at Southold, Cutchogue, and Greeport, be located in the rear of the buildings. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Orlowski, Mullen, Latham, Ward, Edwards Mr. Philip Ofrias, attorney, was present to discuss his proposal for a subdivision known as "Arshamomague Island" located at Southold, for 4 lot son 18 3/4 acres. The Board questioned the boundary line running through, the wetlands since their was no clear description of this boundary. Mr. Ofrias explained that the wetland is 10 acres or so, which is adjunct to the18 acres of woodland. Mr. Ofrias explained to the Board that when he purchased the property they received the portion of the wetland that was owned by the grantor and it is their proposal that, subject to the subdivision approval, Lot No. 4 would also carry with it, that portion of the wetlands which we are able to convey. which is what they received from the grantor. Mr. Ofrias also Page 5 6/24/85 Ofri.as "Arshamomaque Island" cont. that he had title work on this propoerty and going back 100 years, the exact property line was never defined. Mr. Ofrias stated that Lot No. 4 of the subdivision would also contain the area of the meadow, and all the lots will contain the minimum lot area, and only 4 homes will be built, . The Board questioned covenants and restrictions and Mr. Ofrias stated that he would agree to place covenants as to no further subdivision in perpetuity on the subdivision and has submitted them for the file. Mr. Ward questioned the topographical information noting that the contours are from an old aerial from suffolk County. Mr. Ward stated that the problem is that with the five foot contours, and the guarantee on it is plus or minus a contour, so the survey could be off 10 ' in elevation. Mr. Ofrias stated that the reference was the county map and that he also had a map with two foot contours. Mr.Ward stated that the Board is looking for a closer approximation of the contours. Mr. Ofrias presented a copy of the county map with contours, which the elevations are keyed to. Mr. Ward stated the ground survey may show up something totally different because of the generalization of the present survey. Mr. Ward suggested that Van Tuyl should run some correlation. He stated it was the Board' s concern to known how much property is above the 10 ' contour. It was suggested that Mr. Van Tuyl prepare spot grades for the property, and some base line, from a monument on the area. It was the consensus of the Board to contact the town attorney on the matter of the boundary line for the wetland area. Mr.Ofrias stated that the center line of gutter as a boundary line for other side of the property was an established line and was in the deeds, however, there is nothing clear regarding where the gutter ends. Mr. Orlowski stated that the Town attorney would be contact because the Board would not be able to clearly create lots with no exact boundry line. Henry Arbeeny-Mr. Rudy Bruer, attorney was present to discuss this subdivision of 8 lots on 7. 5 acres at the corner of Kenny' s Road and County Road 48, Southold. This property has the zoning bondary line running through it, splitting the property between A residential and B business. The present layout indicates that many of the lots created will be split in the two zones. The Board noted that this would be a problem in the future because the .more predominate zone would prevail and that would be the Residential zone. Therefore, all of the business zoned property would have to be used for residentail or have a variance. It was the Board' s recommendation to have six lots rather than eight and then all the lots would be either residential or business, and none would be split. Mr, Lessard quoted from the town code the section applying to this propoerty ( Section 100- 22 D) which indicates that when a property is split between zoning bondaries, and more than 50% of the area of the lot is in the less restricted district the regulations of the zoning for the less restricted district will apply to the entire parcel. Mr. Bruer stated that by preparing the map as per the Board' s recommendation, he would loose a residential lot. Mr. Orlowski stated that he would actually loose two lots, however they would be more marketable because they would be not split with the zoning line. Mr. Bruer stated that they may apply to have the zoning boundary extended, howver, that would be the Town Board. Mr. Bruer stated that he would go back to his Page 6 6/24/85 Henry Arbeeny cont . client. Mr. Orlowski stated that the Board felt that the present lot would also create problems if it is-used as a business zone since there wold not be enought area for parking. Papadopoulos and Maragos-Mr.Rudy Bruer, attorney, was present for the Board' s discussion on the major subdivision for 51ots on 14. 374 acres at Kenny' s Road, Southold. TheBoard noted that they were not in favor of the "T" . shaped lot and preferred that this be developed as a minor sudivision. The Board also questioned a possible road for future tie into the land to the East of the subdivision. It was also noted that if the subdivision is developed as a major, since there was no land reserved, a fee would have to be paid for park and playground. Mr. Bruer stated that he would go back to his client with this information and would let the Board know how they wish to proceed. Mt. Beulah Aces-Mr. Bruer, attorney, questioned the Board about the release of the letter of credit for the road in this subdivison. The road was provided for future construction if the remaining land to the East was ever developed. Mr. Bruer requested that the Board consider releasing the letter of credit and accepting the road for future dedication. The Board stated that they would review this matter and advise him at a later date. Alice Hussie- Alice Hussie was present to discuss her proposed site plan for a tenis/ racquetball facility located at Hortons Lane, Southold. It was noted that since this proposal lies in a B-1 zone, it will require a special exception from the Board of Appeals. The Board stated that an application should be made to that Board since no action can be taken on the site plan until the special exception is granted. The Planning Board would however make a recommendation to the Board of Appeals. Mrs. Hussie explained that there were 4 indoor and 4 outdoor courts proposed. She stated that the building would be metal. Mrs. Hussiestated that eventually the building may be for 3 indoor tennis courts and two or four racquetball courts. The Board also questioned if an office would also be in the building. . Mrs. Hussie stated that it would be a 3 , 000 square foot building that would house lockers, changeing rooms, offices, an observation area. Mrs. Hussie stated that a facade would be built. She also indicated that no food would be served. It was the consensus of the Board to conduct a field inspection prior to any further action, the Board also requested a rendering of the proposal and advised the applicant to file with the Board of Appeals. Page 7 6/24/85 Florence Rolle - The Board reviewed this set-off for 2 lots on 30 , 822 square feet at Ole Jule Lane, Mattituck. It was noted that the Board of Appeals requested a recommendatin from the Planning Board. The Board felt that they cannot endorse this for such small lots since even the original lot is less than o ne acre. It was the consensus of the Board to hold this application in abeyance pending action by the Board of Appeals on the insufficient area, width and depth variances. Walter and Frank Sawicki-The Board reviewed this proposal which was submitted as a set-off for 13 , 160 square feet from 8. 6 acres to merge with the existing house lot at North Road, Southold. The Board noted that no covenants and restrictions had been submitted to the file. Any approval would be subject to the condition that the 13 , 160 would merge with the house lot. It was the consensus of the Board that this could be handled as a lotline change since no new lot was being created. The Board requested new survyes indicatingthat the proposed Lot No. 1 will merge with the house lot of Frank Sawicki, and eliminating the current rear yard line of the house lot, to further clarify that it will be a merger. The Board also requested covenants and restrictions that the parcel will be merged to the house, owned by Frank Sawicki. Upon receipt of the above information, the board will reschedule this on the next available agenda. On a motion made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Latham, it was RESOLVED that the Southold Tow Planning Board accept Inspector John W.
