Neighbor questions Airstream clearing and property lines at Kersaval two‑lot presubmission; board extends comment period

Noyack — The Southampton Town Planning Board heard a presubmission conference on June 25 for a two‑lot subdivision at 4098 Noyack Road proposed by Caleb Kersaval, who said the plan is intended to create one lot for each of his two children in the future.

Kersaval told the board he owns two existing, modest structures on the roughly 2.2‑acre property, said prior variances had been obtained when structures were built, and noted a common driveway proposal that will be considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Neighbor John Grunbeck Tedesco asked for more detail about likely development on the parcels and relayed concerns from an adjacent neighbor about an Airstream and ground clearing visible from the neighbor’s deck and pool. Tedesco said the neighbor worried the Airstream might be occupied or that unauthorized clearing had occurred on the adjacent preserved Shepherd property.

Kersaval responded that he does not intend further expansion of the houses, described the Airstreams as vintage travel units kept as a hobby, and said he would move any unit if it is found to overhang a property line; he also said clearing had been limited to removing invasive vines and planting wildflowers.

Procedural outcome: the board closed the presubmission and extended the written comment period to 45 days (motion by Glorian; second by David). The vote was recorded as five in favor, two absent.

What happens next: written comments will be accepted during the 45‑day period and the common‑driveway and any covenant issues will be addressed in the zoning and subdivision review process.
