PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS John Wickham, Chairman Henry Moisa Alfred Grebe Archibald Young MIN U T E S Southold Town Planning Board June 23 , 1959 A regular meting of the 'Southold Tovm I fanning Board was held Tuesday, June 23 , 1959; 7:30 P.M. , at the Town Clerk's Office , Main Road, Southold.9 New York. There were present: Messrs. John Wickham9 Chairman, Henry Moisa9 Alfred Grebe, Archibald Young . Also present: Messrs. Howard M. Terry, Building Inspector, Otto Vail Tuyl, Consulting Engineer, and Robert W. Tasker9 Town Attorney. The minutes of the meeting of June 8, 1959, on motion of Mr. Grebe , seconded by Mr. Moisa and carried, were approved as corrected. At the invitation of the Planning Board, Mr. Robert Tasla, Town Attorney, appeared at this meeting to discuss the matter of enfcr cement of hight.ray regulations i4here a development is not ,a filed subdivision, or where the- roads are not dedicated to the Town; as well as giving -the Board advice as to the Recommended Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision of Land and other working regulations of the Planning Board. It was determined after considerable discussion that the Planning Board does not have authority to enforce .any of the highw4y regulations , but the Plam-ring Board does have authority Southold Town Planning Board --2- June �3 , 1959 to impose certain rules and regulations or certain restrictions, even though the roads are not being dedicated. It is unreason- able to expect a developer to dedicate or give land running down to the water to the Town, but the Planning Board may require parks be set apart on the water fora recreational area, as provided in the State Law. This would Ir ovide long range planning and preserve the health, safety and welfare of the Town. In the discussion particular reference was made to the sub- division of Orient-By-The-Sea. The Board considered the possibility of revising the Recommended Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision of Land, and include there- in the highway specifications and other working regulations of the Planning Board. It was firmly decided that a revision would be in order and a public hearing would be held in the near future , after which the Rules and Regulations would be subject to approval of the Tozm Board. The drainage problems of subdivisions (Orient-By-The-Sea in particular) were discussed. One of the main thoughts of the Planning Board is that there should be an additional road the length of the Island to Orient, in keeping with future planning . The general outline for development, which is as follows , was discussed with Mr. Tasker: 1. Place of agriculture in the Town. 2. Maintenance of the natural beauty of the Town. 3 . Means of access , with particular reference to all types of highway networks and highspeed contacts with New York City. 4. Development of the water front. 5. Development of business and industry. Mr. Tasker stated that these items would be a good preamble to the proposed revised rules and regulations. Members of the Planning Board were given copies of the Recommended Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision of Land', and Highway Specifications to take home and make suggestions for their revision to be discussed at the next meeting of tie Board. Mr. Tasker agreed to be present at that time to aid the Board in the revision. It was decided that a letter should be forwarded to to Planning Boards of the other Towns in Suffolk County requesting Southold Town Planning Board �3- June 23 , 1959 that they furnish this Board with a copy of their Rules and Regulations for the subdivision of land, (filing maps, etc. ) , and a copy of air other working rules and regulations which those Planning Boards operate under. Mr. Tasker brought up the matter of the Planning Board having large scale zoning maps of particular areas which would be used as auxiliary maps to the main zoning map. Mr. Van Tuyl stated that 600 feet to the inch would be about the best size for the Planning Board to work with, and upon request stated he would bring estimates of the cost to have the maps made to the next meeting. The next meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board will be held 7:30 P.M., Wednesday, July 8, 1959 at the Town Clerk's Office, Main Road, Southold, New York.The petition of Dante A. Lorti, 70 Grand Avenue , Engelwood, New Jersey' for a change of zone from "A" Residential-Agricultural to "B" Business District was received® _ The Change is on certain real property situated at New Suffolk, New York, and bounded north by land of R. Walty, east by ,Second Street, south by Main Street, ard west by land of Lechmanski. Mr. Terry reported that he had accompanied Mr. Young and Mr. Moisa on a visit to the property. Upon motion of Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. Young and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED, that the Planning Board recommend to the Town Board that the change of zone be made on the entire block on the Town Board-Is own motion. Members of the Planning Board have visited the property and find that a block is approximately 1/3 business now and as adjacent to another "B" Business block, would .seem reasonable that this whole block be made "B" Business. There are a total of five property owners in the block, includ- ing Dante Lorti. J. Mal inowski is already business; R. Walty has been contacted and appr6ves of .the change. The Board has been unable to reach Aponic and T. Lechmanski, but Aponic already conducts a party boat business and we feel that this whole block would be more logically zoned as "B" Business district. IIr'. Van Tuyl spoke to the Board relative to the new expansion route of the proposed Expressway from the Southold Town line through Mattituck. Mr. Alfred Grebe stated that the Fishers Island Civic Assoc- iation would like to have an outline of the functions cf the Town Southold Town Planning Board =4- June 23 , 1959 Board, Planning Board, Board of Appeals , and Building Depart- ment m it refers to zoning. Mr. Terry advised he would prepare this report for the Fishers Island Civic Association. Meeting adjourned at 9:40 P.M. Respectfully submitted Judith T. Boken, Secretary dt ohn Wickham, Chairman
