WttEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on March 6, 1996, and at said hearing aH those who desired to be beard were heard and their testimony recorded; and WtlEREAS, the Board bas carefully considered all testimony and documentation submitted concerning this application; and WlIEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and are familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and the surrounding areas; and WIIEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact: 1. This is an application for an "area" setback variance. The appellant has applied to the Building Inspector for permission to locate a proposed single-family dwelling. The application for a building permit was disapproved on the grounds that "under Article IIIA, Section 100-30A. 3, proposed construction will not have sufficient front yard setback - minimum 40 ft. required." 2. The subject lot is referred to as 350 West Drive, South- old, New York, and contains a lot width of 133.33 feet and lot area of 20,000 square feet. This parcel was created by town approval on March 16, 1972 under Appl. No. 1506 (Map of Druhl), and is 3.

Decision Rendered March 6, 1996 lng lot of this size (ref. Section 100-244 as amended 12/95). 4. In considering this application, the following facts also noted: are (a) approval has been issued by the Suffolk County Department of ltealth dated January 25, 1996, under HS Ref. No. R-10-940071, in accordance with a Board of Review determination dated December 17, 1993. (b) by Supreme Court Order granted July 1, 1992, Justice Thomas M. Stark, it was ordered that this property is exempt pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law, Section 24-1305 from having the requirement of a freshwater wetlands permit for land uses referred to in the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation letter dated June 25, 1992 (DEC Ref. No. 1-4738-00560/00001-0; (c) the Southold Town Board of Trustees have on February 28, 1996 issued a Negative Declaration, determining non-significance under the SEQRA regulations; (d) under reviews by the Town Planning Board on or about March 24, 1970, the Town Board of Appeals dated March 16, 1972, and the Building Inspector dated December 13, 1972, it was determined that the lot was a separate lot for the purposes of zoning and building; (e) under Certificate of Occupancy No. Z-15292 dated February 23, 1987, the Building Inspector certified that the vacant lot conforms substantially to the applicable provisions of the Zoning Code (issued to Dorothy Babson and Daniel Gurkin); 5. Further, the Board finds and determines: (a) the circumstances are sensitive nature, unique characteristics, location of the property; uniquely related to the dimensions, contours, and (b) there is no alternative for applicants to pursue other than a setback variance; (c) the variance requested will create a minimal visual change in the character of the neighborhood along this street, and may cause a minor visual detriment, if any, to adjoining properties, although presently vacant, when comparing the difference of 14 feet (the code requirement of 40 feet less the requested 26 ft. setback, and any possible alternative to that figure); Page 3 - Appeal No. 364~ Application of CIIRISTOPllER CONNORS & ano. Decision Rendered March 6, 1996 (d) the relief requested is substantial at 14 feet, or 35%, however, the reasons fer this request are rational and neeessary, and the variance as granted is the minimum which would allow some benefit to the property owner within reason, and at the same time not have an adverse effect or impact on physical or environmental conditions in the neighorhood (also see SEQRA Negative Declaration dated 2/28/96 by the Town Trustees); (e) it is not uncommon for an owner to request a set back variance in order to preserve the environmental character- istics of the property (such as wetland grasses, etc.); (f) the variance requested does not involve an increase in living area or dwelling unit density; (g) the relief requested will not cause a substantial effect on available governmental facilities since the structure is for single-family use in a residential zone district and residential neighborhood; (h) the variance will not in turn be adverse to the safety, health, welfare, cemfort, convenience, or order of the town, or be adverse to neighboring properties, and the benefit to thc applicant is greater when weighed against the health, safety, and welfare of the community; (i) the relief requested is not serf-created by applicant; (j) in considering all the above factors, the interests of justice will be served by granting the variance as noted below. Accordingly, on motion by Member Dinizio, seconded by Member Doyen, it was RESOI,VED, to GRANT a Variance for the front yard setback at 26 feet as requested ' (and shown on the Map last revised Octo- ber 23, 1995, prepared by Peconic Surveyors~ P.C. for the al)plican t). Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Goehringer and Dinizio. Nays: Members Tortora and Villa. This resolution was duly adopted (3-2 margin). (During a period of time in the deliberations prior to Member Dinizio~s offering this motion, some dissention was discussed. The Chairman asked several times if Page 4 - Appeal No. 3644 Applic~ltion of CHRISTOPHER CONNORS & ano. Decision Rendered March 6, 1996 anyone would like to offer a motion for alternative relief, however, no alternative motion was offered.) ZBA:lk APPEALS BOARD MEMBERS Gerard P. Goehfinger.

The following action was taken by the Board of Town Trustees during its regular meeting held on Thursday, July 28, 1994 regarding the above matter: WHEREAS, CHRISTOPHER CONNORS applied to .the Southold Town Trustees for a permit under the provisions of the Wetland Ordinance of the Town of Southold, original application dated May 22, 1987 and, WHEREAS said application was referred to the Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council for their findings and recommendations, and, WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Town Trustees with respect to the revised application on Thursday July 28, 1994 at which time all interested persons were given -an opportunity to be heard, and, WHEREAS, the Board members have personally viewed and are familiar with the premises in question and the surrounding area, and, WHEREAS, the Board has considered all the testimony and documentation submitted concerning this application, and, WHEREAS, the subject parcel lies within flood zone A-7 as shown on the survey of Roderick Van Tuyl, P.C. , dated July 15, 1994, WHEREAS, the subject parcel contains an area of 20,000 square feet with a front and width of 133. 33 feet and a depth on both sides of 150.79 feet, WHEREAS, the applicant seeks to construct a single family dwelling of 2,200 square feet with on-site sanitary system, driveway, and waterproof retaining walls, and grading all as shown on the above mentioned survey dated July 15, 1994, WHEREAS, the environmental; assessment. form submitted by the applicant states the depth to the water table as between ten inches and 1.1 foot, WHEREAS, the applicant's consultant, in the supplemental report to the DEIS, admitted that 66% of the parcel is freshwater wetland and that a large portion of the remaining parcel contains a mix of wetland and upland vegetation, WHEREAS, from a personal inspection of the parcel by the Board and its consultant, it is the finding and conclusion, of the Board that "nearly all of the lot is freshwater wetlands". WHEREAS', the only non-wetlands area on this lot was found adjacent to West Drive and this non-wetlands area is viewed as a transitional area (and) extends approximately forty feet from the road, (Anderson, environmental consultant to the Board, 8/19/92) , WHEREAS, the report of Tsontakis Associates (an environmental consulting firm that concludes from an environmental perspective, the subject site is unbuildable.) , shows the freshwater wetlands to be over 75% of the parcel, WHEREAS, the above mentioned survey together with the applicant' s vegetative map shows the sanitary system located on freshwater wetlands and the septic system will be required to be 2 feet above ground water which will require the excavation and the filling of wetlands, WHEREAS, the septic system will require being surrounded by a minimum of eight feet of waterproof concrete retaining wall which will extend approximately 44 feet on the south and 'another 44 feet on the. west side of the septic system, all of this area resides in the freshwater wetlands, WHEREAS, the septic system will then have to be covered with fill to a height of almost 6 feet and then gradually graded which will result in the loss of an even greater amount of wetlands, WHEREAS, the Board of Town Trustees agree with the many significant advantages of small freshwater wetlands made in the publication, Wildlife Benefits Associated With Selected Smaller Freshwater Wetlands In Suffolk County prepared by Steven Sanford, a senior Wildlife Biologist with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation which is included with this statement, WHEREAS, the subject site is one half acre of a freshwater wetland system which is much larger, WHEREAS; it concludes a stretch of land from Goldsmith's Inlet to Kenny' s Road, a distance of approximately 1/2 mile which includes Great Pond, WHEREAS, the small size of- the parcel 20,000 square feet, which is substantially freshwater wetlands, cannot support the proposed project without destruction of over hal.f. of the wetland area, WHEREAS, the applicant claims the destruction of only 3,000 square feet, i WHEREAS, it ,is .the Southold Town Board of Trustees finding and conclusion based on the project as shown on the applicant's -July 15, 1994 survey that a greater: area will be destroyed, and much of the remaining wetlands and groundwater will be clearly and unequivocally endangered by the proposed, sanitary system and altered rainfall run-off from the project, WHEREAS, the maintenance of the proposed five pool shallow septic system .will. be problematic due to the widespread boggy underlying soils found in the area of the septic system and' the seasonal and yearly fluctuation of the groundwater elevation, WHEREAS, the septic effluents (nitrates, detergents, etc. ) will also have an easy path into the groundwater and surface waters of .the entire surrounding area due to the fact that only two feet of sand are required between the septic system and the groundwater at this time, WHEREAS, the. subject parcel is at a very low elevation and is in very close contact with the groundwater as stated above and occasionally parts of this parcel contain standing water, WHEREAS, any contamination by sanitary system malfunction on this parcel could cause direct and immediate contamination of groundwater in the surrounding area including Great Pond (approximately 400 feet to the south) which is used year round as a day or residential environmental cap by Suffolk County and whose property lies directly adjacent to the applicant' s parcel, WHEREAS, Commissioner Thomas Jorling, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in adopting the findings and conclusions of an ALJ of that agency rendered after a full hearing involving the applicant' s permit, stated in his decision that "The Applicant' s potential for problems identified with the operation of the Applicant' s septic system make it impossible to- conclude that the project would be compatible with the public health and welfare. . ." , WHEREAS, the Conservation Advisory Council of the town of Southold recommend the denial of this application on environmental principles, WHEREAS, the Board of Town Trustees believes that a smaller single family home could be built on the northwest corner of this parcel with a contained or closed sanitary system or clivus multrum (composting toilet) system that would not require the filling and destruction of freshwater wetlands for a sanitary system, WHEREAS, the Board of Town Trustees has compared and weighed the adverse environmental impacts with the social and economic impacts of this project and finds and concludes that the impacts of this project do not outweigh the need to protect these wetlands and the general welfare of the people of this town, f' WHEREAS, The Board of Town Trustees finds that this project will according to the standards of Chapter 97-28: A. . Adversely affect the wetlands of the Town D. Adversely affect fish, shellfish or other beneficial marine organisms, aquatic wildlife and vegetation or the natural habitat thereof I. Otherwise adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the Town, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees denies the application that is currently before this Board without prejudice of CHRISTOPHER CONNORS to construct a single family dwelling with associated sanitary system as per map dated November 3, 1993 and revised July 15, 1994.

INTER-DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM JOSEPH H. SAWICKI JAMES DINIZIO, JR. TO: James A. Schondebare, Town Attorney FROM: Southold Town Board of Appeals DATE: May 12, 1989 SUBJECT: Designation of Edge of Freshwater Wetlands Property Now or Formerly of Chris Connors & Ano. Property ID: 100059-5-29 .3 - West Dr. , Southold Mr. Christopher Connors today is inquiring as to the status of his application with the Board of Appeals concerning his variance for an insufficient setback from freshwater wetlands in a proposal to locate a new dwelling on the above-referenced lot. As you may recall, one of the reasons this matter was not scheduled by the Board of Appeals concerning the setback variances was that the Town Trustees, as lead agency, had received an Environmental Impact Statement on or about Novem- ber 21, 1988 and the SEQRA process continued for a period of time prior to� their receiving an Article 78 proceeding. One of the areas the Board of Appeals had been concerned with was the edge of freshwater wetlands as designated by the Town Trustees. We have a survey in our file dated April 21, 1987 prepared by Roderick VanTuyl, P.C. was shows phragmites in water. You legal opinion is requested as to whether or not (a) this is the proper time to proceed with the Town Trustees to help to clarify the freshwater wetlands edge and species locations; (b) the Town has complied with the entire SEQRA process according to law; and (c) the Board of Appeals hearing, deliberations and decisions in the near future is appropriate. d l�tz .�— r ti p To: James A.

HENRY P. SMITH �� � BOARD OF TOWN TRUSTEES TOWN OF SOUTHOLD Town Hall, 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 728 Southold, New York 11971. January 27, 1989 WHEREAS, William Connors and Christopher Connors have submitted an application pursuant to the Wetlands Ordinance of the Town of Southold, Chapter 97; to construct a one family dwelling with on site sanitary system as shown on the survey by Roderick Van Tuyl, P.C. , dated February 22, 1988, ' on West Drive, Southold; more specifically designated as Tax Map No. 1000-59-5-29. 3, and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees reviewed said application and, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, 6NYCRR 617, requested and received an environmental assessment for with rider, prepared by En-Consultants on behalf of the applicant and dated July 23 , 1987, and, WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees made a positive determination that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and did declare itself Lead Agency under SEQRA,' and a revised environmental impact statement, and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees did review said DEIS and supplemental information requested and received, as well as reviewing public comments pertaining to same and held a public hearing on the DEIS on the 17th day of November,. 1988, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Town Trustees make the following findings and conclusions: 1. That the subject parcel lies within flood zone A-7 as shown on the survey of Roderick Van Tuyl, P.C. , dated July 6, 1987, and amended February 22, 1988. 2. That the subject parcel contains an area of 20,000 square feet with a front and rear width of 133 . 33 feet and a depth on both sides of 150.79 feet. 3 . That the applicant seeks to construct a single family dwelling of 1,584 square feet with on site sanitary system, driveway, and waterproof retaining walls, and grading all as shown on the above mentioned survey dated February 22, 1988. 4 . That the environmental assessment form submitted by the applicant states the depth to the water table as 1.1 foot. 5. That the above mentioned survey shows the sanitary system 2 feet above ground water. 6. That En-Consultants, in the supplemental report to the DEIS, admitted that 660 of the parcel is freshwater wetland and that the remainder of the parcel contains a mix of wetland and upland vegetation. From a personal inspection of the parcel by the Board, it is the finding and conclusion of the Board that greater that 660 of the parcel is freshwater wetland. 7 . That, while the applicant submitted some mitigating measures in the DEIS, for example, pilings as a foundation and pumpout sanitary system, these measures were rejected by tie applicant based on aesthetics and economics. 8. That the "small size of the parcel, 20,000 square feet, which is substantially freshwater wetlands, cannot support the proposed project with destruction of half of the wetland area. The applicant concede the destruction of 3,000 square feet It is this Board' s finding and conclusion that a greater area will be destroyed, and the remaining wetlands and groundwater will be cleared and unequivocally endangered by the proposed sanitary system and altered rainfall run-off from the project. 9. The Board of Town Trustees has compared and weighed the adverse environmental impact with the social and economic impact of the project, and finds and concludes that the preservation of the wetland area greatly outweighs any social and economic gains of the project, or to be gained from the project. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Town Trustees hereby determines , pursuant to SEQRA, that the alternative of no action be declared and the project disapproved. In addition, the Board is mindful that it could request a final environmental impact statement; however, it is the Board's determination that to so request would be of no value to the applicant nor to this Board considering the project, the DEIS, and the findings and conclusions stated therein.

(Finding number 6 amended to read, . . .greater than 660 of the also Finding number 8 amended to read, . . .and altered rainfall. . . ) . JIM FITZGERALD of Proper-T Services representing Mr. Mitchell. The DEC had the same requirements, which are acceptable to Mr. Mitchell and myself. FRANK KUJAWSKI: Are there any other comments in support of this application? No comments. Are there any comments in opposition to this application? Any comments by the Board? No. We will close the Hearing on Robert E. Mitchell. Hearing in the matter of acceptance of DEIS of CHRISTOPHER CONNORS: FRANK KUJAWSKI: This hearing is different because comments by DEC and permits required, which then empowers this Board to vote on those applications, have not been received. This hearing is in response to the SEQRA Law, and as such it is a hearing where comments may be given regarding the EIS, which was accepted by this Board. We have one set of written comments, which I will read into the record, but first, is there anyone here to speak in favor of the EIS of Mr. Connors? ROY HAJE, En-Consultants. I have prepared the document for you, you will find that if you review the project that we have modified the location of the house. We have also taken measures to limit the fill which would be necessary for the sanitary system. We have changed the driveway and so forth so that we feel that we have done everything possible to develop this lot. We have gone into the potential effects of the project given the extent of wetlands on the property we have minimized the impact to the best of our ability. I don' t see anything further or additional that could be done. FRANK KUJAWSKI: Are there any other comments in support of this document, or concerning this document? CHRIS CONNORS: I am the applicant here, I understand that this hearing is only a SEQRA hearing and it is not a Trustees hearing, for some reason you are differentiating the two and I do not understand the reason for this. FRANK KUJAWSKI: I think we have explained before that under Chapter 97, this Board is not empowered to vote favorably or unfavorably about an application until it has received the approvals of the other agencies which are involved. We have scheduled a hearing on this to proceed ahead so that the DEC would not be held up regarding your application. By holding . this hearing we are meeting the legal requirements, which hopefully will speed up an answer to the questions you ask. As soon as we have those decisions, your applications will proceed the same as the other applications will. CHRIS CONNORS: I read a statement sent to me by you which stated that you will not issue a permit until all other permits have been issued, is that correct? FRANK KUJAWSKI: Yes, that is correct. CHRIS CONNORS: I am looking for a commitment from you that my application will be approved or disapproved. FRANK KUJAWSKI : We cannot do that, it would be against the law. JAMES SCHONDEBARE: We have gone through this before, it is the Board' s position that until the other permits are obtained, we do not even have a complete application. We are doing a SEQRA Hearing right now. Every agency in the Town must make a determination, initially as to whether or not the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, and we must go through the SEQRA process, it is the law. This Board has made the determination that your activity may have a significant effect on the environment. This is a SEQRA hearing, you are getting away from the point. CHRIS CONNORS: Why did you not tell me to get the DEC permit before going through this extensive review? FRANK KUJAWSKI: I have told you before that you need the other permits before we issue ours. We are just following the law. We could have put this off for several months but it is to your advantage in dealing with the DEC, that we are proceeding ahead with SEQRA, JAMES SCHONDEBARE: You are getting off the subject again. This is a SEQRA hearing. MR. CONNORS: I am Christopher Connors father. A few months ago, in court, the Building Inspector did state that this is a buildable lot, and he did issue a vacant land C.O. on this property. JAMES SCHONDEBARE: The reactions of the Building Department are not binding upon the Trustees. The responsibility of the Trustees here tonight is to do the SEQRA hearing;- which we have not even started on. FRANK KUJAWSKI : Are there any other comments on this matter? ERIC J.BRESSLER: On behalf of the applicant, I represent Wickham, Wickham and Bressler. I would like to make several points in connection with the application. First, as Mr. Connors correctly pointed out, that it is relevant, not only in a SEQRA hearing but any hearing before this Board, to consider the circumstances by which Mr. Connors finds himself in this position. The Board is well aware of how he found himself in that position. Secondly, I think that Mr. Connors question about the coordinate scheduling of the hearings is very well taken. While the Board' s point concerning their feeling to push this forward and the alternative being to delay this hearing so that it could be coextensive with the permit hearing, with all due respect, I think its backwards. I think that the correct application of the law would be to combine this hearing with the permit hearing and thereby expedite all of the hearings which should properly be held before this Board. It is no haZdship to do that and I do believe that any-issues to be brought out in a SEQRA hearing are going to be substantially similar to those which would be heard on a later application. I think to avoid duplicity of time and resources that would be the preferred method. Finally, with respect to the somewhat elusive §97-12, of the Trustees Code, the Wetlands Ordinance, I would point out first of all the ordinance appears to be internally inconsistent with §97-23 which gives the Board authority to grant permits subject to certain other things taking place, that is other permits, and I dare say that in the case of various agencies like the ZBA and other agencies like that, this Board has in -the past granted permits subject to, I need not go into those instances, the Board is well aware of that. Secondly, I don' t believe that particular ordinance is sound. A perfect example of that is Mr. Connors situation, as you well know, he is before the zoning Board, and they won't listen to him until you do something. You wont listen to him until the Zoning Board does something. And so we are faced with a rather awkward situation. You are not going to do anything until you hear from the Department of Environmental Conservation. I would suggest to this Board that the preferable measure is to proceed pursuant to §97-23, have your combined hearing, make your determination, and if its subject to the receipt of another approval then give it thereby your approval would not be given finally until all other permits and I think you can do that without doing violence to this application. FRANK KUJAWSKI: For the record, the Zoning Board is not going to be . waiting, I have spoken to Mr. Goehringer and explained our situation. The ordinance we are operating on is different than the other Board' s. I believe that they will not hold you up and they will proceed ahead with this application. ERIC BRESSLER: You have heard that relatively recently? CHRIS CONNORS: I have a letter from them from about a year ago saying that they will not proceed until they get something in writing from you. JAMES SCHONDEBARE: We have discussed this and one of the Board' s moves is not a catch 22, its obvious, it is not going to be. The other point I would bring out, that I question, is whether or not you could have done the two hearings at the same time . FRANK KUJAWSKI: Wouldn't we have violated the SEQRA process by a delay of action? JAMES SCHONDEBARE: You have to allow a ten day comment period after this action for public comment. Suppose you wanted a supplemental to the DEIS or suppose you wanted to do a final EIS, to have the hearing before you have completed the SEQRA I think would have left the applicant and the Board subject to attack. I do not think it would be in the best interest of the applicant either to have a simultaneous hearing because the two of you, the Board and the applicant, would definitely be subject to a lawsVit. FRANK KUJAWSKI: Do you agree Mr. Bressler? ERIC BRESSLER: No, I don't and I do believe that the hearings could be coterminous but we need not get into that at this point. FRANK KUJAWSKI : We are going to take our Attorney' s advice on that. Are there any other comments regarding the environmental impact statement in this project? Public comments, as already have been advertised, will be accepted by this Board until December 17, 1988. If anyone chooses to make a comment positively or negatively about the project, about this EIS they are welcome to do so, and the document is available for public inspection. I have received one written comment which I will read into the record to make our hearing this evening complete. This comment is from James Manos and it addressed to me, as follows: Mr. Haje' s DEIS does not comply in most respects with the directions set down by the Trustees in the scoping session of October 6, 1987 nor with the scoping request of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services set forth in its letter to the Trustees dated October 20, 1987. It also fails to adhere to the basic requirement of the DEIS which is to describe . measures to minimize adverse environmental effects by the proposed action. For example, Mr. Haje originally recommended in his summary statement to the EAF that the house would have the least . adverse environmental impact by being placed in the northeast quadrant of the property since it would be the most distant from the wetlands in that location but in the current site plan which accompanies the DEIS, the house is in the middle of the northerly half of the parcel 50 feet from West Drive and less than 75 feet from the wetlands and Peconic Dunes, requiring a §97 variance. By moving the house 15 ' closer to West Drive, it would be entirely in the northeast quadrant having 35 ' front yard setback from West Drive, which is the distance permitted under the zoning code, and it would also be 79 ' from the Peconic Dunes wetlands satisfying the setback requirement in that regard. This would tend to minimize the adverse environmental effects. The above change would also free up an area behind the house of about 15 ' X 601 , 900 sq. feet, which could be incorporated as part of the leaching area encompassed by retaining walls. Currently shown on the site plan the enclosed leaching area is about 2100 sq. feet, and certainly a 400 increase is a measure to be desired. Mr. Haje does not address in a meaningful way the health and environmental impact of the proposed sanitary system. What is the effect of confining the lateral movement of the effluent by waterproof walls. Isn' t it logical that it would accelerate the downward movement of the effluent into the groundwater. Wouldn't 'this downward acceleration be many times the normal rate since the effluent is confined laterally to a 2,190 sq. foot wall leaching area, which is 1/15 of the normal 31, 400 sq. foot leaching area, based on a 100 ' minimum setback requirement. A circular area with a radius if 100 ' covers 31, 400 sq. feet. Shouldn' t Mr. Haje provide some sort of evaluation as requested by the Trustees. Mr. Haje has ignored the SCDH Services request on the impact of the system on the Peconic Dunes Park. The sanitary systems leaching pools, which will be only 201 from the wetlands in the park, will be buried in an 8' high mound of fill retained by a wall, which itself will be in wetlands. The Park is a campsite for over 1,000 youngsters during the course of the summer. What is the health hazard to these children? What is the potential for degradation of the aquifer, surface and ground water and the quality of Great Pond itself? Mr. Haje has also not complied with the SCDH Services request for a retaining wall designed by a professional engineer or a registered architect. Mr. Haje give short to the use of pilings in building the house explaining in part that he has not seen any houses in the area built on pilings and it is doubtful that we would ever have the kind of storm that would warrant their use. He is incorrect on both counts. A short distance from the proposed site a house that was on pilings was completed last Spring, which is located on the south side of North Sea Drive. Another house on pilings is being constructed across the street approximately 400' from the Sound. In a September 1954 hurricane a storm surge cut through the dunes west of Leighton Drive, inundated the low area leeward of the dunes including M. Connors parcel, it continued on to cut a valley through sand dunes just to the south of my property carrying that sand into Great Pond creating a sand bar and contaminating it with salt water. The same storm swept several houses near McCabes Beach into the small pond on the leeward side of North Sea Drive near Horton' s Lane. A very hard look should be given to the use of pilings which would allow a substantial amount of the wetlands to remain intact and represents another measure minimizing the environmental impact. Mr. Haje' s report contains numerous factual material errors. For instances he states that the parcel is 660 wetlands when in fact it is wetlands in its entirety. Even Mr. VanTuyl found over 800 of the property submerged in water when he did a survey. I suggest that the Trustees reject Mr. Haje' s DEIS in non-compliance with the standards required of the law for such documents and under the request by the Trustees and the SCDH Services, and frankly, for its lack of thoroughness and objectivity. JAMES MANOS: May I make a change to the last paragraph? I didn't know that the Trustees had accepted the DEIS so I would like to modify the request for a rejection to a consideration as part of the final impact statement. JAMES SCHONDEBARE: Frank, don' t change the paper itself, its on the record, that' s it. Don't change the letter, he' s on the record. JAMES MANOS: My request is that instead of rejecting it, which you can' t do because you can' t reject something that you already accepted, would you deem whatever is contained in the letter as modifications of the DEIS to the extent that they can be modified, as an inclusion in the FEIS, I don't know whether there is going to be one. FRANK KUJAWSKI: There can be if the Board so chooses. JAMES MANOS: Well, if there is I certainly would want my comments considered as part . of the FEIS, if there isn' t, I would like consideration to be given to my comments as conditions to a final permit, if there is a permit. FRANK KUJAWSKI: Are there any other comments from anyone regarding the DEIS? Any comments by the Board? HENRY SMITH: Yes, I have one. The information you have contradicting Mr. Haje' s information in the DEIS, how did you determine that, was that done by an engineer or was that done by yourself. JAMES MANOS: Be more specific. HENRY SMITH: The cesspools, leaching system, in particular. JAMES MANOS: Its a matter of logic. If the ordinary minimal setback is 100 ' from wetlands. If you confine something that should go into 31,400 sq. feet laterally, into an area of 2100 sq. feet, and its all waterproofed around that area, there is only one place that the liquid in that area will go. It won' t go up, it would go down into the groundwater. I may be wrong, I am not certain, but these are questions that are bothering me since I own the abutting property. That is my primary concern, the degradation of the groundwater. HENRY SMITH: In what year was it that storm where it broke through? . JAMES MANOS: My understanding is that it was in 1954. HENRY SMITH: I think it was 1938 . JAMES MANOS: No. The 1938 storm was devastating on the ocean side, it was the 1954 storm that struck the Sound side. HENRY SMITH: I don' t remember. JAMES. MANOS: There is an area dubbed Hurricane Acres, it was dubbed as such because of that storm. That' s the area north of McCabes Beach. You can see the inundation right where I live. COLEEN CONNORS: The measures for the sanitation system, has that been upgraded and improved since 1977? HENRY SMITH: That is the Board of Health. COLEEN CONNORS: My comments would be that there are other houses along that strip. Our house, that we would like to build, would have much better conditions that any of the surrounding houses. I think that we would be more conscious and more aware, only because we would have to be, obviously, than the other houses that are already there. HENRY SMITH: The Board of Health is continuously updating their standards. JAMES MANOS: I have .more comments regarding the DEIS. At the scoping session a request was made. for a plume study for the underground water that was not done. The request was made regarding the measures to remedy a flood condition that exists on the road next Mr. Connors' property. I am pretty sure it will become a worse problem after construction is completed. ROY HAJE: Regarding the sanitary system, the enclosure of the sanitary system with a retaining wall is a fairly recent development and requirement by the Health Department where putting fill to the requested slope which is 5% or one of twenty would either extend beyond property lines or have some other adverse effect, such as contingent upon wetlands. That' s the reason why we circled it, to minimize the amount of fill put on wetlands, that is the standard procedure accepted by the health department. Most of the movements in a septic system is downward anyway, the lateral gradient component is much, much less than the vertical. JOHN BREDEMEYER: As you know, I begged off the Health Department Review. I am a Health Department employee, principally with the County Health Department. I did not participate out of fairness to all parties because I don't believe I should be acting in both capacities. But it is true, I am personally familiar with a number of studies and approximately 800 of the leaching is through the bottom of the pool even in confined states. That is a basic fact, but some of the other comments by Mr. Manos are well taken. FRANK KUJAWSKI : Any other comments: Jay, (Schondebare) at this point, we do have the option of asking for more information. I think that there are some questions that need to be answered. JAMES SCHONDEBARE: But you don' t do it now, you will have a transcript and you have to go over it. FRANK KUJAWSKI: If there are no other comments from the public or this Board we will close this- hearing. Public comments will be accepted until December 17, 1988.

V1 . The Van Tuyl survey dated 2/22/88 indicates pre- cisely what is currently proposed and complies with standard -requirements . Areas beyond those shown for filling and/or construction will re- main unaltered. The work area will be outlined with hay bales prior to any work both to prevent machinery from straying beyond and to prevent siltation when fill is placed. 2 . We have had two additional test holes done by McDonald Geoscience. As one had previously been shown, we now comply with your request for three. A copy of the survey showing the locations of the two new test holes and a data sheet for each are attached. It is interesting to note that only a thin top layer of bog is present which / is underlain with sand. v 3 . The response to this item is contained on page 21 of the DEIS. To supplement, we believe that the distance of these cesspools from Great Pond is too great to allow any leachate to enter the water of the pond proper. In fact, the ground- water in this area flows generally northward toward Long Island Sound and away from the pond vu (to the south) . ce.• cr�� . L 4 . Inquiries have been made to New York State De- partment of Environmental Conservation and Suf- folk County Department of Health Services re- garding the possibility of using Great Pond as a source of potable water. Although tentative proposals have been sporadically put forth by the Greenport Water District over the years, there is no serious intention to do this . Nei- ther is that likely to occur as to pump from the pond could seriously deplete it and lower its water level drastically. Surface water is only used as a potable supply in one location in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and that is on Fisher ' s Island where the population and demand is small and the situation unique. For argument' s sake, however, if a surface body were to be used as a source of potable water, no sanitary systems could be located within a minimum of 200 ' from it (Paul Ponturo, SCHD per- sonal communication) . While the Connors parcel would meet this criteria, many other existing houses and their systems would not. `' 5 . No response called for by applicant. 6 . Page 21 of the DEIS indicates that " . . . the par- cel is roughly 6.6% freshwater wetlands, primarily in the west and south. " In addition, appendix 11 is a vegetative map showing the wetlands as we interpret them. It should be noted that the remainder of the parcel contains a mix of wet- lands and upland types but it is our opinion that the latter dominate and therefore should not be considered "wetland.

Following scoping sessions, etc. through the Department of the Town Trustees (as Lead Agency under SEQRA) , there is apparently no question that phragmites exist at the site, giving jurisdiction to the Trustees under the Freshwater Wetlands Section of the Code. We must ask your legal opinion as to Board of Appeals jurisdiction under Section 100-119. 2(C) of the Zoning Code, which states: . C. All buildings located on lots adjacent to any freshwater body shall be set back not less than seventy-five (75) feet from the edge of such water body or . . . from the landward edge of the freshwater wetland, whichever is greater. . . . In the event you determine this Department has overlapping jurisdiction with the Trustees, we urge that the Town Trustees complete their overall review as to the wetland areas and confirm for the record the closest freshwater wetland boundary line (to the proposed construction) since they appear to be the only Environmental Agency of the Town authorized to do so.

T ^ { Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Christopher Connors SUMMARY: The applicant, Christopher . Connors, purchased the subject parcel in early 1987 with the in- tention of constructing a one-family house for his personal use. Due to low elevation, fill- ing is necessary of at least a portion of the lot. The obvious beneficial impact is to allow Mr. Connors the reasonable use and enjoyment of a single and separate, residentially-zoned piece of property. the purchase of the land constitues a significant financial outlay. Unless the parcel may be used for the purpose intended, the owner could not sustain the loss and would have to seek legal redress . The adverse effect is the loss of a portion of the freshwater wetlands . 1 ` 2 - To mitigate the adverse effect, filling will be limited only to that portion of the par- cel on which improvements are proposed. Roughly half the parcel will. remain in its current con- dition. The alternatives range from filling of the entire lot to "no action. " Within these ex- tremes , various extents of filling, size of house, and type of construction are possible and will be considered. Several permits and/or ,approvals are necessary before construction may commence. This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS ) is being prepared for- the Town of Southold Board of Trustees (hereinafter referred to as the ( "Trus- tees" ) , which has been designated as "lead agency" under the Town ' s Environmental Quality Review Act, Chapter 44 of the Town Code. A wetlands permit must also be issued pursuant to Chapter 97 . } t t i 3 - Although the parcel did not appear on the New York State Department of Environmental Conser- vation' s (hereinafter referred to as the "DEC" ) tentative Freshwater Wetlands inventory map, there has been a recent addition (possibly after this project was brought to the DEC' s at- tention) to include the site. Therefore, the applicant has been informed that a permit is necessary pursuant to Article 24 of the Environ- mental Conservation Law (FWW) . The Suffolk County Department of Health Services (hereinafter referred to as "SCDH" ) requires approval of the sanitary system and well. 1 { 4 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION: Purpose and Need for Project -- Prior to his purchase of the property, the applicant inquired of the Building Department of the Town of Southold whether it was build- albe. In response, he received a "vacant land certificate of occupancy, " a copy of which is in the appendices. On the strength of this , he closed title and received verbal permission to clear and fill the lot. Shortly after com- mencement when only ( 2 ) small ( 30± ' x 10± 1 ) portions of the proposed circular drive had been filled, a complaint was filed by a party or parties unknown. In May 1987, a notice of violation was issued by the Bay Constable (copy enclosed) directing the applicant to cease all further filling and apply for a wetlands permit from the Trustees . In June 1987 , the building inspector issued a notice of disap- proval based upon the need for a wetlands permit (copy enclosed) . T , 5 - A wetlands application to place fill and con- struct a one-family house was promptly filed, and the Trustees declared itself lead agency. A positive declaration was issued requiring the prepartaion of this DEIS. Following pre- paration of a long Environmental Assessment form (EAF) and request to reconsider the need for the DEIS, the Trustees maintained their decision to require the DEIS. During the time of these discussions and cor- respondence with the Trustees, the DEC was also consulted. The maps which the DEC use as its tentative FWW inventory, The New York State Department of Transportation Quadrangle Sheets , indicated only Great Pond as a DEC- regulated freshwater wetland. It is identi- fied as SO-5 on the Southold sheet. It was, therefore, presumed to be outside .of DEC regu- lation. Later discussions , however, with Mr. Paul Carella of the DEC' s FWW unit, indicated that it was an area subject to DEC jurisdiction. 6 - The DEC' s maps were modified at an undetermined date to add the' subject site and other land to the west (see appendices ) . Further dis- cussions ensued regarding . the placement of the fill and need to remove it and need for a FWW permit. A DEC FWW application has now been filed. As the construction of one single family house is not a "public" project, there is no "public need" for it. Rather, the intention is to provide a home for the applicant and his family. It is a legal building lot in single and sepa- rate ownership as attested to by the issuance of a "vacant land certificate of occupancy" by the Building Department. Location The subject site is located on the west side of West Drive, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. It is identified by SCTM No. 1000-59-5-29 . 3 . Access to the site is via 7 - Lake Drive and West Drive, paved Town roads . The existing zoning is A residential-agricultural. Design and Layout -- The parcel is trapezoidal, 133 . 33 ' in the n/s direction; and 150 . 79 ' e/s . Its total area is 20, 000± square feet. The original site plan as depicted on a survey by Roderick Van Tuyl, P.C. , dated 4/21/87 and amended 7/6/87 placed the house roughly in the center of the lot with fill throughout (see appendices ) . The. current plan depicted on a Van Tuyl survey dated 2/22/88 , restricts development to (roughly) the northerly half of the lot. A 36 ' x 44 ' house on concrete foundation is located 13 . 5 ' south of the north property line; and 50 ' west of the east property line. A circular drive will provide vehicular access and ( 5 ) 2 ' high and 8 ' diameter cesspools plus septic tanks will be located to the west of the proposed house. In order to obtain the SCDH-required 8 _ depth of fill over and around the pools with- out encroaching on adjacent parcels , a timber or concrete retaining wall will encircle them. Fill will also be placed for the house and driveway. Approximately 375 cubic yards of clean sand and loam will be placed within the retaining walls for the sanitary system, and 175 cubic yards will be used for the driveway and house. As the mandated first floor ele- vation of the house is +11 ' above mean sea level (MSL) ( Zone A7 ) ( see appendices ) and it will sit on a fill pedestal of +6 ' , approxi- mately 5 ' of foundation will be exposed. Construction and Operation -- The house will be constructed of wood, the retaining wall will be either wood or concrete, and the driveway will be fill topped with Blue- stone or similar pervious material . Approvals As shown on the latest site plan (Van Tuyl t 1 - 9 - survey of 2/22/88 ) , the house may require vari- ance from the Zoning Board of Appeals from the 75 ' setback from wetland if: 1 . ) the parcel is deemed by the Town Trustees to be wetlands , and 2 . ) permission to construct is granted by the Trustees . No other dimensional variances will be required. Environmental setting -- "The SEQR Handbook" , a document prepared by the NYSDEC to aid agencies in the review and preparation of DEIS ' s and other SEQR documents , directs that a DEIS is to be complete but not "encyclopedic. " Further., it urges the use of existing reports and data where available as a means of expediting review and minimizing costs . Accordingly, two documents are being included in the appendices which describe the envirionmental setting. The first is the EAF prepared on 7/23/87 by En-Consultants , Inc. , for the lead agency, the Southold Trustees . 10 - The second is a report prepared on or about that same date which accompanied the EAF. The report is based upon a field inspection of 7/15/87 . A vegetative map has also been prepared por- traying the location and extent of vegetation, wetland and otherwise, on the parcel. The Soil Survey of Suffolk County (USDA, 1975 ) sheet 8 ( see appendices ) , identifies the sub- ject parcel as dune land, which is described as follows : "Dune land is- made up of mounds or small hills of sand that have been piled up by wind. No soil horizons have formed in this sandy material. This land type is mainly along the barrier beach and the large area of dunes in the vicinity of Napeague and Hither Hills State Park. Smaller areas are along Long Island Sound and the bays at the east end of the Sound. Slope ranges from t t 1 to 35 percent. Vegetation is sparse in some areas, but other areas have a thick cover of pine. Included with this land type in mapping are low-lying, nearly level areas between dunes where ground water is at a depth of 18 to 30 inches in places . Also included are a few small, blown-out areas along the north shore. In these places sand dunes have migrated into the woodland sur- rounding the blowout. " Mitigation Measures to Minimize Environmental Impact -- Siting of the house outside of the wetland as much as possible is the most significant mitigation possible short of taking no action whatsoever. An infinite number of variations of house size, precise location, driveway con- figuration, and extent of fill is possible. The minimum size house permitted by zoning is 850 square feet. It is not felt that a 12 - structure of this size would serve the appli- cant' s needs . If the house were to be built on pilings, less fill would be necessary under and around it causing less loss of wetlands . Exposed piling foundations are common in some areas of Long Island, notably on the barrier beaches where flood plain regulations mandate high first floor elevations and prohibit fill underneath on the theory that these factors will minimize damage during storms . The "high velocity zones" where these regulations are in effect are classi- fied as "V" zones by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) . Conditions at the subject parcel are different. It is located in a "A-7" flood zone which is within the "100-year flood" area but is not an area likely to ever be subjected to waves of high velocity. Thus , there is no restriction against fill. No homes in the area were observed r 13 - to have exposed piling foundations . Construction on pilings would cause loss of most vegetation underneath due to shading. Elevated houses require greater insulation and precautions against freeze-up of pipes . Piling foundations are more costly than spread footing or concrete slab construction. Fill cannot be placed only under the founda- tion. It must be shaped out beyond the build- ing' s footprint. Thus, while vegetation directly under a piling foundation would likely die, that beyond (which would be under the peripheral sloped fill) would remain. Containment of fill for the sanitary system by a retaining wall minimize loss of natural vegetation, again by elimination of peripheral sloped fill, the other possible alternative. Mention is occasionally made of elimination of cesspools which leach into the ground in - 14 - favor of a sealed holding tank which is period- ically pumped out by a scavenger. While this, in theory, would totally eliminate any effluent, such a system would not be approved by SCDH. In addition to being very costly (weekly pump- outs would probably be necessary for an average family) , SCDH fears that waste would be disposed of improperly leading to significant health and environmental problems . Limitation of shrubs and lawn requiring appli- cation of pesticides and fertilizers would mitigate that source of pollution. Use of bluestone or other pervious material for the driveway would limit changes in drain- age patterns . Installation of dry wells for roof runoff would, in the writer ' s opinion, have little beneficial effect. Dry wells would have to be installed in fill in order to operate satisfactorily, 15 - and the water they handle is merely rainwater which could also be discharged on the surface. Little cost is involved, however, so that dry wells could be installed if so ordered. - .16 - ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS THAT CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF THE PROJECT IS TO BE IMPLEMENTED: No matter which alternative is selected, there will be a loss of some wetland. Given the minimal amount of wetland on the subject par- cel relative to the overall wetland which is located largely on County property and there- fore not subject to development, any loss will be very small. 1 - 17 ALTERNATIVES: Alternative construction techniques , siting and development, have been addressed in the "mitigation" section. The alternative of dif- ferent land use is not practical due to the existing zoning and nature of surrounding de- velopment. Acquisition of the parcel by a governmental agency or private preservation organization would perpetuate present environmental condi- tions . It is not likely that public or quasi- public ownership would lead to public use other than by -individuals interested in ecological studies. A fair market value would have to be paid to the owner if public acquistion is not to be considered a "taking. " "No action, " coupled with no compensation, would create a financial hardship to the owner and leave him with no use for the property. He would be re- quired to purchase another parcel or existing house elsewhere to satisfy his need for shelter . - 18 - IRREVERSIBLE AND IRRETRIEVABLE COMMITMENT OF RESOURES- Wetlands which are filled and/or shaded must be considered "lost:" Although fill could be removed and a building demolished, in prac- tice this is not likely to occur if the lot is developed. As previously stated, actual wetland loss is small . The usage of fossil fuels to power construction equipment and workers ' .vehicles is irreversi ble as is the consumption of electrical power by tools . The commitment of wood and other material used in construction is essentially irreversible. 19 - GROWTH-INDUCING ASPECTS: Examination of yearly population statistics reveals a steady growth for the Town of Southold. According to the Nassau-Suffolk Regional Plan- ning Board estimate for 1987, the population is 21 , 003 . The addition of another household ( 4 - 5 persons ) is part of the trend and not an inducement to growth. Neither would this action require expansion of existing utilities and services or the addition of new ones. 20 - LAND USE AND ZONING: The parcel is located in an A Residential- Agricultural zone according to the Town of Southold. The parcel to the north is entirely filled and developed with a single family house. Natural vegetation has been removed and replaced with grass and landscaping. . The lot to the south belonging to Manos is undeveloped and similar in vegetative character to the subject parcel. Adjacent to this is a developed parcel also owned by Manos . Many other houses are located in the neighborhood, most built in the 1970 ' s, and used as summer houses . The most recent master plan does not call for any zone changes in the area. - 21 - SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: As described in an earlier section, the parcel is roughly 66% freshwater wetlands, primarily in the west and south. The latest and current development plan concentrates development on the northerly half of the parcel. Assuming the FWW line to be as shown in the vegetative map, there will be approximately 3 , 000 square feet of wetlands filled. Usage of the remain- ing wetland by wildlife may be slightly dimi- nished due to the increased human activity. However, most species now utilizing the parcel are expected to remain. No rare or endangered species were detected. Ospreys which may nest in this general area of Southold, would in no way be threatened or be less likely to ' remain as a result of this project. Potential environmental impact of sanitary systems center upon the effects of leachate upon the surroundings . Cesspool leachate con- tains nutrients (primarily nitrogen and phos- phorus ) , bacteria, viruses and minor amounts 22 - of other constituents . Nutrients normally are bound up by bacteria present in the soil within short distances of the cesspool rings . Should nutrients reach adjacent wetlands, it is likely that they would be metabolized by the plants much the same way that surface- applied fertilizer would be. Of the leachate components, least is known of the viruses . Again, the type of installation proposed here and the density make it unlikely that this or any other component of the leachate would cause damage to either the wetlands or water- ways . 23 - EFFECTS ON THE USE AND CONSERVATION OF ENERGY RESOURCES: During the construction phase, energy in the form of fossil fuels and electricity will be consumed. The house will be heated by oil- burning equipment'. All proposed structures will be adequately insulated to minimize ener- gy consumption.

Schondebare, Town Attorney FROM: Jerry Goehringer, Chairman Board of Appeals DATE: November 21, 1988 SUBJECT: Z.B.A. Jurisdiction Article XI, Section 100-119.2(C) Building Setback From Water Bodies Dear Jay: As you may know, we have an application pending for an Appeal of the Determination of the Building Inspector for the proposed construction of a single-family dwelling as shown on the attached survey. Following scoping sessions, etc. through the Department of the Town Trustees (as Lead Agency under SEQRA) , there is apparently no question that phragmites exist at the site, giving jurisdiction to the Trustees under the Freshwater Wetlands Section of the Code. We must ask your legal opinion as to Board of Appeals jurisdiction under Section 100-119.2(C) of the Zoning Code, which states: C. All buildings located on lots adjacent to any freshwater body shall be set back not less than seventy-five (75) feet from the edge of such water body or . . . from the landward edge of the freshwater wetland, whichever is greater. . . . In the event you determine this Department has overlapping jurisdiction with the Trustees, we urge that the Town Trustees complete their overall review as to the wetland areas and confirm for the record the closest freshwater wetland boundary line (to the proposed construction) since they appear to be the only Environmental Agency of the Town authorized to do so. Thank you for your assistance. K ' d . STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Conners - Wetlands Application No. 543 Dear Mr. Kujawski: Mr. Conners has once again presented erroneous and misleading information to the Trustees! The violation has not been cleared as alleged by Mr. Conners in his August 8th letter to you. No representative of the DEC has executed the Consent Order proferred to you by Mr. Conners as evidence that "the violation in question has now been cleared. . . ". The above was confirmed today in a conversation I had with the DEC's legal department, who further advised that the DEC still has under consideration and review the terms and condition's of the con- sent order. It is difficult to comprehend Mr. Conners' resistance to the removal of the fill. At the scoping meeting of October 6, 1987, in response to a direct question posed by Mr. Krupski, the applicant agreed to its removal. Ten months have passed yet he has failed to do SO. This is particluarly puzzling because almost all of the fill is located on that portion of his parcel which, based on the revised site plan, Mr. Conners will leave in the wetlands state. Thus he would have to remove the fill even if the permit were granted. Very truly yours, cc: DEC a STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION . . . . .

I did so in reliance- on your representation as to the applicability of Wedinger v. Goldberger, 131 Misc . 2d 109; 499 N..Y. S . 2d 600 (Richmond County, 1986 ) and without consulting the Regional legal staff. Subsequent to my November 9 , 1987 letter, I have been informed by the Regional legal staff that the Wedinger case you cited was reversed on appeal . You also belatedly advised me of this in your November 16 , 1987 correspondence . Please be advised that the Notice of Violation in this matter was incorrectly withdrawn and is hereby reinstated. This case has been referred to the Regional Attorney' s Office for enforcement, Any further correspondence should be directed to that office. In addition, any future correspondence on any matters which concern legal issues and require legal interpretation should be directed to the Regional Attorney' s Office . - Sincerely, RA K M.

I am proposing to move my house location to a higher elevation. Moving the site 75 ' north of my S/E property line will be best suited for environ- mental protection. This was also pointed out in Mr. Haje ' s report . I have indicated my proposed site with three markers . The first marker indicates where the 75 foot dividing line will be . The second marker is the beginning of the proposed house. The third marker indicates the end. Provided this meets with your approval, I will then have another survey prepared, which will give us exact specifications. In summary, I am .willing to compromise with any reasonable suggestions. With this alternative, I hope an agreement will be reached on both sides . _ Sincerely, Christopher Connors cmk Tom C91 S Daniel L. Schwartz Sydney L. Schwartz 210 West Drive Southold, N. Y. Board Of Appeals Town of Southold Main Road, Southold Re: petition of Christopher and William Connors for a variance to construct a one family home on property located at 350 West Drivev Southold. We wish to register our objection to this request for a variance and that it be denied, at least until an environmental impact study can be completed. The possible negative impact areas about which we are concerned have both immediate and long term consequences. The immediate concern we have is the impact on our water supply, since the proposed plan projects a well adJacant to our well. We have been advised that this may lead to problems. The long term concerns we have are for the impact on the wetlands. These wetlands, including the property at 350 West drive, the public lands directly adjacent, and the land across the street have a very active wild life population, including the nesting of osprey. We have been advised that the filling in of this large parcel of wetlands will affect an indeterminant amount of wetlands surrounding the filled- in land. Until we know the degree of impact on the wildlife, and on the fresh water supply, we earnestly request that the petitioners request for a variance to build on the property located at 350 West Drive be denied. v "f/YJ ' Southold..

Smith President July 30,, 1987 Board of Town �rustees, Tawn of Southold Town Hall,; 5309,5 Main Road P.O. Box 72.8 Sauthold, New York 11971 Re: Christopher Conners - Wetlands Application No. 543 Dear Mr. Smith:: I have been notified by Mr. Conners' attorney by certified mail of his pending application before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance to the Wetlands Act and have learned of his ap- plication before the Town Trustees for a permit to conduct oper- ations in freshwater wetlands. I. am opposed to the granting of the variance by the ZBA and the permit by the Trustees and wish to be deemed a party-in-interest in this proceeding. - Mr. Conners' parcel of 20,000 square feet is in its entirety freshwater wetlands as that term is defined under the law--it contains vegetation identified with wetlands such as button- bush, purple loosestrife, marshmallow, phragmite, etc, and serves as a habitat for turtles, snakes, waterfowl, and upland birds. Mr. Conners" parcel and the other wetland's adjacent- to it are submerged most of the year. Please note the comment on Mr. °Conners' survey "Phragmites in Water" applies to a delineated area covering about 80% of his parcel (see enlarged survey, Hanos Exhibit 1) . Even in dry periods the ground is neverthe- less wet and spongy. Mr. Conners ' parcel is part of a much larger freshwater wetlands system (see Manos Exhibit 2, photos #1 to #4) . This includes an area of many acres to the west in Peconic Dunes, and a much smaller area to the south of Mr. Conners ' parcel. This latter area of wetlands, which is owned by me, consists of a 70-75 foot wide strip totally about 10,000 square feet in area, located in my parcel and running along my common plot line with Mr. Conners. Importantly, this area has been declared to be protected wetlands Manos 7/30/87 p. 2 by the DEC in 1977 in connection with an application for a per- mit made by the prior owner of my property, Mr. Peter Bogovic. This permit, while allowing for the construction of a house up- land of the wetlands in an area containing no wetlands features forbids any operation in the wetlands portion of the parcel. I enclose a copy of this permit together with a sketch survey pre- pared by the DEC delineating the protected area (see Manos Ex- hibit 3) . Significantly, the DEC required Mr. Bogovic to remove fill that he had placed in the wetlands immediately upon that agency's discovery of the occurrence. Local authorities who have assumed responsibility forprocessing wetland applications must have stan- dards, as required by article 24 of the Wetlands Act, at least equal to those of the DEC`. I strongly urge reinstatement of the provision in the original stop order requiring Mr. Conners to re- move the fill placed on his land (see Manos Exhibit 2 photos m5 & `6) . T-is is a continuing travesty and removal would mitigate further damage to the ecology. Mr. Conners proposes to cover the back half of his parcel with a house , and fill averaging six feet in depth above the existing grade. He is silent as to his plans for the front half of his. parcel--there is no provision for off street parking, or a drive- way, or access to the house , etc. In any event, it appears that more than half of the plot would be covered and, that the place- ment of at least 1500 cubic yards of fill is contemplated. Re- maining wetlands, if any, after completion of the project, would be segmented or isolated. A current minor flooding problem on West Drive in front of Mr. Conners' property could become a major one since waters would pool due to the poor drainage created by the fill. Mast important is Mr. Conners ' proposal to place his septic system about 30 feet from adjacent wetlands , in Peconic Dunes and in the. Manos" property. As mentioned these wetlands are covered with water most of the. year and when not are waterlogged. and spongy. This proximity would probably result in untreated or partially treated effluent contaminating these adjacent wetlands , having an adverse impact on the vegetation and wildlife of the wetlands, the groundwater, and surface waters , and most signifi- cantly, pose a potential health problem to some 1,000 -young children who are guests at the. Peconic Dunes Camp over the course of a summer. I wish to be given notice of all proceedings and be sent copies Manos; 7/30/87 P• 3 of reports. I also wish to have the oppertunity of examining material submitted by experts and reasonable: time to respond to the same. Very truly yours, James Manos: ca: R.A. Greene, DEC, F. Panek, DEC: H.G.

Mr. Christopher Conners Trustees / Board of Appeals file SCOPING MEETING IN THE MATTER OF CHRISTOPHER CONNERS A Scoping Meeting was held on July 3, 1987 at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold at 5:30 P.M. in the matter of the application of Christopher Conners for a Wetland Permit on certain property located on West Drive, Southold. President Smith called the the meeting to order. The following persons were present: President Henry P. Smith Vice President John M. Bredemeyer, III Trustee Phillip J. Goubeaud Trustee Albert Krupski Trustee Ellen M. Larsen Patricia Moore, Esq. Mr. & Mrs. Conners ( Bill & Mary) Mr. Christopher Conners Ilene Pfifferling, Clerk to Trustees The Trustees discussed with Mrs. Moore and the applicant, the items which will have to be addressed regarding the application as follows: 1. A plant survey to determine what percentage of the lot does have freshwater plants on it. 2. A survey showing one foot contours to get an idea how the water is flowing on the property. 3. - A description of the property and the types of plants and the extent of the wetland area. Does it connect with Great Pond? With the Peconic Dunes? Is this an isolated area between neighboring lands and the Peconic Dunes or is it contiguous with the wetland area? 4. Value as a wildlife habitat or productivity. 5. The present water levels' (areas that are wet all year round and areas that may be seasonal) . Meeting adjourned at 6:30 P.M. Ilene Pfifferling, Clerk Board of Town Trustees � r Page 1. _ Scoping Meeting - Christopher Conners Trustee Krupski: There are a few things that I would like to see addressed. One would be a plant survey to see what percentage of the lot does have fresh- water plants on it. Is this the survey? What survey do we have? I would like to get an idea. . . . . we have a survey with a proposed finished grade. ,Do we have a survey of the present elevations? Trustee Bredemeyer: You see the corner elevations. Mr. Conners: You see 4, 3. Mrs. Moore: 'It is all part of the same survey.' Elevations are these things here. (pointing to the survey.) Trustee Krupski: For a house, I don't know how anyone else feels, but I think that we should get a survey with one foot contours on it so that we can get an idea of how the water is flowing on the property. I don't know if we can demand this of the applicant or not, to get maybe 50 ft. on each side of the elevations to see how the run off situation works. Mrs. Moore: I don't know if a surveyor can get that information. Unless he has it on a survey that was already taken. I don't know if they have to do field work to get the elevations? Trustee Bredemeyer: I think a description of the surrounding areas. Roy Haje, I'm sure that he will be out on the site. If he can give a description of the types of plants going off the property and the extent of this particular wetland area. For example, does it communicate with Great Pond? Does it communicate with the Peconic Dunes? Public areas? Is this actually an isolated area between neighboring lots in the back of the Peconic Dunes or is this something that communicates. . . . Mrs. Moore: Contiguous in other words. Trustee Bredemeyer: A description of the contiguous wetlands. Trustee Krupski: Right. Trustee Goubeaud: Are your affected by the Federal Flood Plain Management? Mr. Conners: Yes. Trustee Goubeaud: So you are. . . . Mr. Connors: We're 11 ft. above mean sea level. We're in an "A" Zone. Trustee Smith: What else did you have Al? Trustee Krupski: That's about it. My concern was whether or not the ground water does communicate with Great Pond? Trustee Larsen: You can address its value as a wildlife habitat or its productivity? Mrs. Moore: Yes, the whole area adjoins natural areas. Trustee Smith: Jeff do you have anything you want to add? Trustee Goubeaud: I'm just looking at the contours. How high is your neighbor? Page 2. Scoping Meeting - Christopher Conners Trustee Smith: That's filled land. Mr. Conners: The guy on one side is about a foot, and Ma nos is about 15 ft. high. Trustee Goubeaud: Manos starts going up around a corner here. Mr. Conners: You can't see his house. Trustee Smith: Jay? Trustee Bredemeyer: Aside from the description of the plants, what the water levels are presently in the wet areas, the one foot contours will give us good information but when Mr. Haje is on the site, the approximate depths of water there, if it appears to be wet all year round or opposed to being vernal or just drying off part of the year. Mrs. Moore: Okay. Trustee Bredemeyer: Based on the plants he sees and the amount of water there he can reasonably project if it is wet all year round. If he sees any variation there? What it appears to be over the recent past? What the status is. Trustee Goubeaud: Do you understand why it is at 11 ft? Mr. Conners: It's because it is close to the sound. In case of a hurricane or something? Mrs. Moore: Its in the flood zone. Right? Trustee Smith: Ellen. do you have anything? Trustee Larsen: No. Trustee Bredemeyer: At present, you plan on trying to build a house by addition Of fill you will need flood plain as opposed to any other type of elevated structure. Is that your preference at this point? Mr. Conners: We were assuming that we will have a foundation? Mrs. Moore: So you're not filling? Mr. Conners: We were not proposing to fill at all. I don't know where that came from. Mrs. Moore: I want to know where. the fill came from? Trustee Goubeaud: Take a look at the map, it says proposed finished contours. It starts at 4' and goes to 8 ft.? Trustee Bredemeyer: Well he would have to add a certain amount for the sanitary system that he would have swale up to and be part of the foundation? Mrs. Moore: Well that would be all part of the area that. is excavated? The soil would-be used as fill around the house. Page 3. Scoping Meeting - Christopher Conners Trustee Bredemeyer: The bottom of the pools would have to be at least 2 ft. above the water table plus a 2 ft. pool plus the fill -over: You are talking-about 5 or 6 ft. just in that area. The survey gave an impression that there would be a mound over the whole property. Mr. Conners: I don't know why Mr. Van Tuyl put that in? That was never our intention at all. Mrs.. Moore: As a matter of fact he is creating a foundation that is required in the flood zone. Trustee Krupski: You could not put a foundation in the ground there? Trustee Bredemeyer: I guess what they are trying to show is a gradual standard slope from the pools to the property lines? Mr. Bill Conners: I have a house, I bought the land twenty years ago on Leeton Drive and there were two feet to ground water all along Leeton Drive. Of course it was many years ago. Trustee Smith: I agree, I know foundations that were poured into ground water. Trustee Bredemeyer: They put them into groundwater. That is not what our concern is. Trustee Krupski: Our concern is that this is a wetland. Protecting the wetlands is our aspect of review. Mrs. Moore: Oh sure! Trustee Smith: We are not into the types of construction: Trustee Bredemeyer: I was just wondering if there was an emerging plan that you had? Obviously if you build a house on pilings and you can avoid fill under the area of the structure it would be Trustee Smith: Pilings would be the way to go. Trustee Bredemeyer: We are getting into the planning aspect. Mrs. Moore: You don't want to annoy the neighbors either by being the only one with a house on pilings. Anything else? Trustee Smith: Anyone have anything else they wish to discuss? Trustee Larsen: If he works on the environmental assessment form, then we will have to review that for small, moderate or large impact and see what areas that will have large impacts if any and take it from there. Mrs. Moore: I would like to know if there is something, you feel we can mitigate now, give me your suggestions? Trustee Smith: I think if you go through the Long Environmental Assessment Form and address these questions we have raised here. Page 4. Scoping Meeting - Christopher Conners Mrs. Moore: Address these questions, right3 Trustee Bredemeyer: There is no telling how we feel about the project. We don't know how far it goes? Mrs. Moore: I know you don't really have the facts. I think that you should make the Long Environmental Assessment Form a prerequisite on your applications. Trustee Krupski: We do. A lot of times they are not worth the paper they are written on. They -are half filled out. Mrs. Moore: Maybe you could have the Town Attorney .prepare one� for your Board that would be more specific to your needs? Trustee Smith: Are there any other questions? No comments.

Murphy D --� Main Road Southold, New York 11971 x 1987 [7[ L.SUPERVISORS OFFICE Dear Mr. Murphy: TOWN OF SOUTHOLD _J My son and I have owned a small home_ at 705 Leeton Drive, Southold, N. Y., for several years, and we have always had wonderful relations with our neighbors and friends. Recently, however, we have ourselves involved in a very serious problem which developed from a conflict between your Building Department and your Board of Trustees. The problem developed when we responded to a ,"For Sale", sign on land at 350 West Drive, Southold, .NY. It is land close to our home and we thought we would be able to build a larger home for my retirement. Before purchasing the land, my son went to the Building Dept. and received. absolute assurances that the land was suitable for building a one family home. The inspector checked maps and gave us verbal assurance and a vacant lanc' C. 0. made out in the name of the prior land owner. We closed on the land and shortly thereafter vent to Penny Lumber for building plans. We ordered a new survey from Mr. Van Tuyl. He had done a prior survey in 1.976 and use used the old survey at closing. We called the Building Department and asked permission to clear the land and prepare the building site. Upon receiving verbal permission, we contracted with Ed. Brush to clear the land of shrubs and add fill for a circular driveway. Someone filed a complaint. We have no idea who filed the complaint and the authorities refuse to tell us. We have been stopped in our tracks from proceeding further. The Board of Trustees claims the land (may be) wet lands because wild berries, Ivy and fragmities grow on it. Spring rains had settled on the land because the two adjacent homeowners raised their property levels. We are not near any body of water and the land is without water. We have been forced to file a wet lands permit and it appears we are in for months of hearings before anyone will make a deoision. What can we do?? Our money is now tied up in land which may be useless to-us without a building permit. Why did the Building Department tell us we clearly had a good plot before buying the land and then have a building permit denied after buying the land. Please respond and help us out of this dilemma which was brought about because of wrong information given by people under your control. Thank you. Respectfully., William T. Connors P. S.
