A letter was received from the water resources commission a section of :State Conservation Dept. approving the proposed dam and ponding at the: "Howell-4Smithfield Park" project .in Pine Neck area.

John Wickham will see the soil conservation people later tonight and get their plans for the project. It was unanimously agreed to meet next Monday night- (July 15) to continue work on Master' Plan' Study. Reading and discussing Raymond & May Report, Book II resumed on Page- 3 0. Page 31. It was agreed the park area shown from Dam Pond east and west be changed to eliminate the residential section in the- middle. The park area should be on the westerly side of Dam' Pond, the public beach area should probably be extended from the present Town leased beach and the meadowland south of the Main Road put in a wetland program, possibly with a small marina at- the entrance to the creek on the Orient side. Page 32. Eliminate- the Paradise Point- Park -as shown .on Raymond & May-Map. It would probably be better to concentrate - on developing the county owned Cedar Beach Park property to a more intense use than to have another small park to maintain in this highly residential neighbor, hood which. has its own boat basin, large homes, etc. SPECIAL MEETING�OF PLANNING BOARD July. 8i 1968 Page 32, Eliminate .the proposed park at the end of Indian Neck Lane as shown- on Raymond &-May .Map. .,We recommend enlarging the Southold Park' District at the southerly end of South Harbor Road and entrance to' Richmond Creek,r, and possible use of- the Commoners Land at Little Creek as a park or it be� put in wetlands program. Page 320 . Peconic Inlet Park -- We recommend this be- fully developed and not expanded easterly in front- of the present residential development. .. Should "Camp Dunes" become available at- some future - date this Mould be a good park location with its frontage on Great 'Pond. Page 32. Laurel' Lake: We recommend securing the land west of the present Town owned property and any other land fronting on the lake that - ' can be secured. as soon as possible, this can be used for park and playground or held for watershed development. We do not recommend taking any of the land now .belonging to' Camp Malloy,, as they will need more facilities as time goes on. Page, 32. Maratooka Lake' Park -,-- We believe this should be left- with the Mattituck- School property and be maintained by them as a "beauty ,spot" for the Mattituck area. Page 32. Deep Hole, Creek- Park. We think this can be eliminated for the time being as the Mattituck 'Park-District is expanding its holdings and making improvements' as''they. are required in their district% Page 32. Fishers Island Park — The proposed park area south of the airport cannot be used for this purpose because of the restrictions--in the purchase agreement. There is a definite need for a park- on the westerly end of the Island and a .good bathing beach as well. We believe a local study should be :made, .with recommendations from the year round residents of the Island before a specific recommendation- is made, Page 32. Marinas -" There was a long discussion on need for more marinas and boating facilities -throughout the Town,, especially the Greenport and west part of the Town. The condition of the existing creeks, channels & .harbors, docking facilities, etc. was reviewed from Orient- Point west. It was agreed some of these channels will need "Maintenanace Dredging" in the .near future, Provision will ,have to be made for many more "marinas"a, commercial boat yards with repair and storage facilities,, fuel docks,, etc. , Some, specific locations were discussed but nothing definitely decided. Page 33. There was little further discussion on. the "open spaces" program .other than agreement on establishing a "wetlands" program as SPECLU MEETING "OF PLANNING BOARD wow July 8,. 1968 previously -discussed, Page 34. Subdivision Regulations There have been proposals.-.for changes in both the Subdivision/ Regulations and the Highway' Specifications urgently needed for some time. These have been discussed from time to time with the Town Board and the Highway Superintendent. A -final proposal was drafted with the cooperation of -Mr, Raymond Dean® Superintendent of Highwaysi and the following letter sent to the Town Board to get their final approval: July- 9& 1968 Southold Town Board 16' South Street Greenport.. A,.I s New York 11944 Gentlemen; After preliminary discussions with yonr 'Boards and several meetings wa:th the Highway Superintendents the' Planning Board recommends the following changes in both the Highway Specifications and Subdivision Rules and Regulations: 1. All roads be laid out in a "station mark" system showing elevations* percentage of- gradem, distances between station marks, etc. 2, Intergral curb and gutter be installed at all intersections for at least ten ,(10) feet each side of the curve. also at_ all drain— age inlet structures fro at least ten ,(10) feet each side of the inlet. 3, Intergral- curb and gutter on both sides of any road where the grade is 5/ or more. 4. Full length curb on botch sides of all roads unless waived by the' Superintendent of Highways and the' Planning Board. 5. Road Profile Maps to be done on large &Cale clearly readable such ..maps should 'sh�ow all drainage structures*, pipess recharge basins® etc , not -more than one read per map. The Subdivision Rules and Regulations to be amended as follows: la Highway and improvement bond to include necessary drainage structures,, etc. to take care of all run off water from any natural drainage -way outside of the bounds of the subject Subdivision which J � . SPECIAL- MEETING OF PLANNING BOARD w5-- July 8, 1968 will in any way tend to create a drainage problem within the sub- division area. 2. . Preliminarymap to show all elevations on minimum five :(5) foot- contours. 3. Six (6) copies of preliminary map and road profile maps to be on large scale, -» clearly. readable — showing all. drainage. structures, culverts, pipes, recharge basins, etc. using` "station mark .s.ystem" with distances® grades, etc, clearly marked, to be submitted to the Planning Board at the first meeting after a tenative approval is given. 4. Inspection fee to be 2% of bond estimate as submitted by the Planning Board;s Engineer. 5. Require at least two days notice from the developer or his contractor prior to any work or stage - of.-work - for each operation necessary in b. subdivision given to both the Planning Board and Highway`Dept. _so the construction inspector can be notified to be present. 6. - A record sheet- of requirements for. each subdivision shall be kept in the file of such subdivision and all "work progress" reports shall be kept on file as submitted by the Construction Inspector 7. - Provide for maintenance of private roads after construction . bond release and prior to dedication to the Town by maintenance . bond or not releasing the original bond or some o'txher means. The Planning Board has received amny complaints about the roads in ' some of. the subdivisions which were not bonded a few years ago, and some other private roads. Upon inspection it was found that some of these roads are in very dangerous condition and a few instances nearly impassable. Therefore we feel it is essential that some means be found to force the developer to keep these roads in top condition at 'all times. We intend to review all "unbonded" subdivisions and some of the older subdivisions where roads are in bad condition or have not been cut in and established yet in hopes something can be done to better these roads. It was voted to recommend and request that at least one Town Board member be assigned to attend each regular 'Planning Board Meeting so that the Town Board will be aware of and familiar with what the Planning Board has before it and the problems that have - to be faced. Yours truly, t SPECIAL MEETING OF PLANNING BOARD July 88 1968 Reading and discussion for the -evening was ended at page 35. The next meeting will be Mondays July 15 at 7:30 Ponta' in the Town 'Clerks Office. Meeting Adjourned at 9:45 P.M, Howard Terry, Acting 'Secretary J n` Wickham,. Chairman
