The Chairman opened the hearing by reading legal notice of hearing and affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper. THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone wish to be heard in opposition to this subdivision? (There was no response. ) THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone wish to be heard in favor of this subdivision? LEFFERTS EDSON, ESQ. , Southold,, New York: I present the map of Oakridge Hills which has been approved by the -Suffolk -County -Department of Health. I request that it be considered and approved by your Board -subject to the decision of the Highway Superintendent. (The Secretary reported that the Highway Superintendent had indicated that he had inspected the roads and found them only satisfactory for access for emergency and private vehicles. They could not be accepted for dedication at this time. ) THE CHAIRMAN: The Town Highway Specifications will probably be amended and stiffened within a relatively short time and the - Superintendent of Highways is concerned that so many of the roads in new developments have been breaking up this spring. I think this has been a more severe winter than ususal on highways. In the past in cases like this the Planning Board has waived the Southold Town Planning Board -3- April 11, 1962 provisions that highways must be dedicated within 90 days or performance bond must be posted just because of the uncertainty I mentioned before. Until the situation is clarified we do not think it is fair to hold the developer up. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anything else? (There was no response. ) THE CHAIRMAN: Since there is no one else present who wishes to say anything in regard to this application fora subdivision by Oakridge Hills I will declare the hearing closed. On motion of Mr. Moisa: seconded by Mr. Young, it was moved: WHEREAS Southold Builders, Inc. has petitioned the Southold Town Planning Board for final approval of their plat known as "Oakridge Hills" at Southold, New York, and WHEREAS the Southold Town Superintendent of Highways has inspected the highways and found them to be satisfactory for private access and emergency vehicles, and his .report is hereby approved by the Planning Board, and WHEREAS the Southold Town Planning Board, pursuant to due notice thereof, held a public •hearing on the matter of approval of the plat at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, .and WHEREAS the Southold Town Planning Board waives the provision in the Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision of ,Land requiring park and playground area or cash equivalent; and WHEREAS the Southold Town Planning Board waives the 90 day requirement for the dedication of highways to the Town of :Southold and posting of a bond for same whereas the Highway :Superintendent will only approve these highways for private and emergency access; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the subdivision to be known as 'bakridge Hills" at Southold, New York, consisting of 6. 073 acres Southold Town Planning Board -4- .April 11, 1962 and. owned by Southold Builders, Inc. , be approved. this plat is bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point on the southwesterly side of Horton Lane where the same is intersected by the southeasterly side of land now or formerly of Clement W. Booth formerly Barnabas H. Booth, which point is also distant 550.88 feet southeasterly from the corner formed by the intersection of the southwesterly side of Horton Lane with the southeasterly side of :Sound View Avenue and from said point of beginning running thence along the southwesterly side of Horton Lane the following courses and distances: (1) South 47 degrees 48 minutes 00 seconds East 202. 62 feet; (2) South 32 degrees 30 minutes 30 seconds East 149.55 feet to land now or formerly of Jonathan T. .Overton formerly of Johathan B. Terry; running thence along said land South 48 degrees 25 minutes 00 seconds West 758. 64 feet to otherland now or formerly of Henry Jennings; running thence along said land North 35 degrees 15 minutes 30 seconds West 357. 29 feet to land now or formerly of Clement'W. Booth; running thence along said land North 48 degrees 53 minutes 40 seconds East 720. 94 feet to the southwesterly side of Horton Lane at the. point or place of beginning. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Wickham, Mr. Moisa, Mr. Grebe, Mr.. Young, .and Mr. Unkelbach. The Board wished Mr. van Tuyl to supply the proposed highway dedication map and profiles of :Oakridge Hills for the file. The Chairman repok.ted that he had discussed with Superintendent of Highways Price the highways in Green Acres at Orient and Mr. Price felt that the buffer strip between Greenway East and Orville Terry's property, even though. it is landscaped and made into a park, still is directly contrary to the requirements for dedication. It was suggested that this buffer strip might be dedicated to the Town along with the highways. Mr. William J. Baxter, Jr. appeared before the' Planning Board with a plan for a proposed subdivision on the Stewart property adjoining the Mattituck .School on the east. After examining the map it was decided the Board members should investigate this proposal. Further, since this adjoins the Mattituck School District property a letter was to be forwarded to the Trustees of the Mattituck -Southold Town Planning Board -5- April 11, 1962 School District advising them of this proposal and stating that it entails a highway running north from the Main Road, ' turning east and for the immediate future terminating, in a turn-around. The 'Planning Board feels eventually this road will continue out to Mill Lane a short distance below the railroad. The Planning Board felt the school property might benefit by highway access to the northeast corner of the school property at some time in the future and the 'Planning Board could require that the developer make provision for a future highway connection to the school property if it is their wish. This would have to be done before the lots are sold which means provision would have. to be made soon if the school is interested. The Planning Board received a reply to their letter of March 9, 1962 to the Suffolk County -Department of Public Works relative to Charlie's Lane and New Suffolk Road, .CR 26. In the letter the Chief Engineer stated that the data submitted by the Planning .Board did not reveal the manner 'in which- the developer plans to dispose of water falling on Charlie's Lane and the adjoining property. They could not permit water to be discharged' on 'to a County 'Road. They would require 4 copies of a plan showing the proposed grade 'of Charlie's 'Lane and a drainage plan for the disposal of all water draining or 'falling on Charlie's 'Lane. They would also want to know the effect the development of this property will have on the box culvert under New Suffolk Road. On motion of Mr. Moisa, seconded by Mr. - Unkelbach, it was RESOLVED that Mr. Van Tuyl be authorized to draw up tentative specifications for drainage on Charlie's Road in New Suffolk. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. .Wickham., .Mr.. Moisa, Mr.. Grebe, Mr. Young, and Mr. Unkelbach. Mr. Van Tuyl briefly discussed George (or Elsiels) Road in Mr. George Grathwohl's development at New Suffolk. This road is now 33 ft. wide and to be a Town road it should be 50 ft. Mr. Van Tuyl stated that Highway .Superintendent Price indicated that the 33 ft. width might be satisfactory. The Planning Board received from the Town Board the original petition of George K. Vloutely, East Marion, requesting a change Southold Town Planning Board -6- April 11, 1962 of zone from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "M" Multiple Residence District on certain real property situated at East Marion. The Town Board requested that the -Planning Board prepare an official report defining the conditions' described in the petition and determine the 'area so effected with the recommenda- tion of the::Boar_d. This property is more particularly bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point on the north .side of the Main Road, Route 25, marking the southeast erly .corner of land now or formerly of Lois Thorpe, and running thence north 1406300" west, 311. 78 feet, to- land now or -formerly of Fulton; thence north 890 56110" east, 117. 98 feet to land now or formerly of Metcalf; thence south 14032150" east, 330. 98 feet to the northerly line of the Main Road; running thence in a general northwesterly direction along the northerly line of the Main Road, 126. 95 feet to the point or place of beginning. Map of property situated in East-Marion, by Victor T. Zurkowski, dated'April 27, 1961. Mr. Vloutely states in his application that the premises have been used for a multiple residence use since before zoning. He now wishes to expand his facilities and since a non-conforming use cannot be �expanded the .'application for a ,change of, zone is made. The .Chairman read letter s from J. Herbert -Fisher, Great Neck and East Marion; Professor and Mrs. John H. Billman, Bloomington, .Indiana and East Marion; James.-O. -Orr, Main Road, ..East Marion; Alberta -Edwards Parker, Main Road, East Marion and Charles R. Mosback, . Oceanside and East Marion, all in opposition to .this proposed change of zone. Members of the 'Planning Board have all investigated this property. On motion of Mr. Grebe, .seconded by Mr. -Unkelbach, it was RESOLVED that the Planning Board does not recommend to the Town Board this change of zone from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "M" Multiple Residence District on the property of George K. Vloutely. The Planning Board feels this proposal would be spot zoning in a strictly residential area. Further, when zoning was first -contemplated the residential character of the Village of East Marion was preserved and we feel it �is important that this beautiful village remain residential.

The next meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board will be held 7: 30 P.M. , .Wednesday, .May 9, ,1962 .at the Town Clerk Office, Main Road, -Southold, New York. It was the suggestion of the Building Inspector that the Planning Board might like to have someone from The Asphalt Institute, College Park, Maryland come to the next Planning Board meeting and discuss the building and maintenance of secondary or "town" roads, the latest methods and materials, quantities and qualities, etc. This would be very helpful in connection with the improvement of the Town highway specifica- tions and construction. The Planning Board instructed the secretary to write such a letter inviting someone from this Institute to appear at the May 9th Planning Board meeting. A letter was received from the Cutchogue Fire District -relative to the installation of a fire well and approach ramp on proposed extension of Griffing Street north of the -Post Office in Cutchogue. The Board instructed that the letter be placed in the file pertaining to the extension of Griffing ,Street for future reference.
