Smithtown Notebook: Catherine's Estates Subdivision Approved with Revisions

The planning board approved the subdivision of a one-acre lot at Catherine’s Estates on Darling Avenue in Smithtown for two single-family residential lots, with two site adjustments made by the board.

One adjustments to the subdivision plans made by the board was for the applicants to allow for “clear, unobstructed access” for emergency vehicles and emergency personnel to see the new residents who will move into the back portion of the lot from the road. To “preserve the buffer” between the estates and the nearby cemetery, the board also asked the applicants to move the garage an additional five feet east from the proposed garage plans on the lot.

Planning Board Adjournments

Zone change applications for Edward & Patricia Martella (#2010-10) and R&F Management, LLC (#2010-09) were adjourned to the next planning board meeting at the request of the applicant’s attorney.

At the start of the meeting, a zoning change application for KVC Holdings (#2010-06), waiver requests for Berg Estates in Kings Park (#1053A) and Glen Hill Northern in Saint James (#911A), tier II special exception for T-Mobile Northeast, LLC (TC 11-01) and extensions of performance bonds for Olivia Estates (#280A) and Country Side in Smithtown (#926), were all adjourned by the board.
