Okay. So we are going to go a little out of order. We'll be taking an appeal number 2025-010, 40 Manor Lane, LLC, 40 Manor Lane, Jamesport, Suffolk County Tax Map number 600-68-2-0. 26, Hamlet Residential Zoning for a two-lot minor subdivision. Applicant request variances and or relief from Chapter 301-51, where the proposed lot width for Lot 1 is 122.2 feet and Lot 2 is 99.5 feet. The minimum required for each lot is 175 feet. Where the proposed side yard setback for Lot 2 is 28.3 feet. Minimum required is 30 feet. Where the proposed lot size for Lot 1 is 20,746 square feet. And Lot 2 is 15,489 square feet. Minimum required for each lot is 80,000 square feet. Where the proposed impervious surface coverage for Lot 1 is 19%. And Lot 2 is 28.2%. The maximum allowed for each lot is 15%. And Chapter 301-243C3, where the proposed lot size for Lot 1 is 20,746 square feet. And Lot 2 is 15,489 square feet. And the minimum required for each lot is 40,000 square feet. And the minimum required for each lot is 20,000 square feet. Good evening, Mr. Cutty. Good evening. Charles Cutty for the applicant. I have an office at 445 Gryffing Avenue, Riverhead, New York. This matter has been here several times before. When it was originally here in 2021, the applicant at that time was a Mr. Sullivan. He subsequently sold his property to two other people, including Mr. Reid, who is now the sole member of 40 Manor Lane LLC. But in the interim, Mr. Reid is now the sole member of 40 Manor Lane LLC. And I would like to ask Mr. Cutty to speak. Mr. Cutty. [transcription gap] Mr. Cutty. Mr. Cutty. Mr. Cutty. PROPERTY TO OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING MR. REED, WHO IS NOW THE SOLE MEMBER OF 40 MANNER LANE LLC. IN THE INTERIM, MR. REED'S PARTNER DIED AND IT TOOK 18 MONTHS TO GO THROUGH THE SURROGATE SCOURD. NOTHING WAS DONE DURING THAT TIME AND THEY ARE STILL IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. BUT GETTING BACK TO THE VARIANCES, THESE ARE VARIANCES THAT ARE GRANTED OR HAVE BEEN GRANTED IN THE PAST BASED UPON THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TWO HOUSES ON ONE LOT. WHICH IS UNIQUE. ONE TIME ONE OF THE HOUSES HAD BEEN A KENEL BUT DURING A PERIOD OF TIME IN THE 80s, IT WAS CONVERTED TO A HOUSE AND HAD CO'S FOR A HOUSE. SO THERE ARE TWO HOUSES ON ONE LOT. THEY ARE BOTH DECENT HOUSES. I HAVE SEEN THEM A NUMBER OF TIMES. I DON'T THINK THAT THE GRANTING OF THESE VARIANCES FOR WIDTH, SIZE, AND LENGTH, AND THE VARIANCE OF THE HOUSE, THE SIDE YARDS, FOR THE TOTAL LOT SIZE AND FOR IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AFFECTS THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY ARE RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY AS LOCATION FROM THE JAMES PORT FIRE DEPARTMENT. CERTAINLY THE IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORS IS VIRTUALLY NOTHING. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. I THINK THAT ANY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS MINIMAL BECAUSE IT IS INTERVENTIONAL. IT IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AN H.R. AREA. I WOULD THINK AT THIS POINT THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY ASKING FOR THE SAME VARIANCES THEY HAVE BEEN GRANTED ON THREE OCCASIONS. I WOULD ASK THE BOARD TO AGAIN GRANT THESE VARIANCES. DIDN'T WE RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT? YES. THE JAMES PORT FIRE DISTRICT SENT CORRESPONDENTS VIA E-MAIL THIS AFTERNOON. THEY HAD ORIGINALLY REQUESTED THE BOARD ADJOURN TO GIVE THEM TIME TO GO OVER THE APPLICATION. I SUBSEQUENTLY RESPONDED TO THEM EXPLAINING THAT THEY WOULD REQUEST RELIEF AND THAT THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND THE REQUEST OF RELIEF AND SUBDIVISION HAVEN'T CHANGED SINCE THE PRIOR APPROVALS. I PROVIDED THEM WITH A LINK TO THE APPEAL DOCUMENTS AND ALSO THE SUBDIVISION MAP AND THE ZONING BOARD MAP THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. THIS AFTERNOON I RECEIVED E-MAIL CORRESPONDENTS FROM JENNIFER CUDDY, THE DISTRICT SECRETARY TREASURER, AND SHE SAID IF IT IS JUST A REFILE WITH NO CHANGES, THE COMMISSIONERS ARE GOOD AND THERE IS NO NEED TO HOLD UP THE APPLICATION. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO BE HEARD ON THIS? NOBODY ON ZOOM? ANY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WISH TO BE HEARD ON THIS? OKAY. MR.

So Lisa Higgins, which has the house on Peconic Bay Boulevard, so that is directly to the east, had some concerns about the two trees that are right on the property line. And I think maybe they need a little trim, but I assured her that those trees I don't think would be touched. But I would like to hear that from the owner. I would have to confirm that with the builder that those trees would remain. So if it's okay, they might be able to answer. Male Speaker 2. Anybody else wish to be heard? Do they want to speak? Female Speaker 2. Female Speaker 2. Oh, she's here. Sorry. Lisa Higgins is here. She just showed up. Male Speaker 2. [transcription gap] How close could it be to my property line? You can't hear us.

You want to raise your right hand? Sweet, tell the truth. Tell the truth. Not the truth. Yes. Put your hand down, please. Allow a clear voice. Please tell us your name and your address. My name is Lisa Higgins, and I live at 1353 Peconic Bay Boulevard. What is it you wanted to say? I wanted to find out how close to my property line is their house going to be. Everybody's building right on top of everybody. Do you want to explain that to them? Rather than laying all these out, what she's focusing on is the service. Okay. Just let... This one's over there. Okay. This is updated, though. Okay. This is the official. Okay. Would you like... Am I allowed to... You can tell her. You can tell her. Okay. You can come over here now that you introduced yourself. So, just let the record reflect that the engineer provided us with an updated survey today. So, your house is here. Which shows the lot coverage. And if you could keep the map in the center... It'll go up on the screen. Okay. All right. Oh, look at that. Yeah. And I don't do all this stuff. Newfangled, huh? Okay. You're reading readers up. So, your house is right here. All right. And see, they're only going in the same footprint as what exists. And they're not going closer to your property at all. All right. Are you satisfied, Ms. Hagan? Yeah. Okay. Sounds good. You have no objection, do you? No. Not as far as I know. Okay. Thank you. Anybody else wish to be heard? I just have a few questions. Sure. So, in your application... That was theirs. But you can have a copy of this if you'd like. All right. Thanks. Okay. In your application, you stated updated sanitary system. Yes. It already has approval. It's not plotted on the survey? I could get that for you. It tends to get a little mushed when there's so much information on it. Okay. And you can't really read what the relief is and what the setbacks are and what's proposed, which is really hard. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and read the question. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and read the question. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and read the question. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and read the question. Okay.

It's like packing 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5-pound bag. I could have that updated for you. Correct. And then so the record could reflect, and you can have a copy for your files in your sanitary system. And I have the health department approval as well. So I can either give you a health department approval copy, or I can have the surveyor update that and put what was approved reflected on the survey. That would be terrific. Okay. Yeah, no problem. So just a few comments. The entrance is at a distance of 5.4, and the existing fireplace was and will remain at a distance of 5.4. Correct. So it's kind of a continuance. Correct. Next point. With respect to the proposed rear yard, it's at a distance of 5.4. And the parcel would be governed by the Town of Riverhead Small Lot Ordinance? 301.222.1. Where if you have a lot that's from 0 to 39, 999, and 999, you would have to go through the process of !
