The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 280, Zoning, in connection with Agricultural Processing in the Town of Southold" which reads as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. 2019 A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 280, Zoning, in connection with Agricultural Processing in the Town of Southold" BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: I. Purpose The Purpose of the amendment is to permit the accessory use of the processing of agricultural products on a parcel containing a bona fide farm operation within Chapter 280 of the Southold Town Code. Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 2 II. Amendment. The Southold Town Code is hereby amended by adding the underlined words as follows: § 280-13 Use regulations. In A-C, R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts, no building or premises shall be used and no building or part of a building shall be erected or altered which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for any uses except the following: C. Accessory uses, limited to the following uses and subject to the conditions listed in § 280-15 herein: 13 Processing of Agricultural Products which meet the following standards: (a) The processing of agricultural products shall take place on a parcel that qualifies as a Bona Fide Farm Operation as defined in section 280-4 of this code. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions in section 280-15(C) of this code, the square footage of an agricultural processing building or part of an agricultural building used for agricultural processing shall not exceed one and a half percent(1.5%) of the total size of the parcel on which it is located. (c) An agricultural processing building with a square footage of three thousand square feet or less shall not be subject to site plan review. fid) Any site plan application for an agricultural processingbuilding uilding shall be entitled to the expedited processing and fees for agricultural related site plan applications set forth in Article XXIV of this Chapter. (e) At least sixty-six percent (66%) of the agricultural products being processed must have been grown by that Bona Fide Farm Operation. The requirement in this subsection shall not apply in cases of a catastrophic crop failure. III. SEVERABILITY If any clause, sentence,paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid. IV. EFFECTIVE DATE This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by law. I have an affidavit that it was posted in the Suffolk Times, a notice to adjacent towns and it was published on the Town Clerk's bulletin board and the Town website. We have some correspondence from the Chairman of the Southold Planning Board, "Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the above local law, the Planning Board supports the proposed legislation." From Mark Terry, the Assistant Town Planning Director, LWRP coordinator, "The proposed action has been reviewed to NYS Department of Conservation regulations as listed here, SEQRA, and it is my determination that pursuant to part 617-5C4 and 617-5C33, the action proposed is a Type I1 action and therefore not subject to SEQRA review." Mark Terry as LWRP coordinator, "The local law entitled amendments to Chapter 280, Zoning in connection with agricultural processing as an accessory use in the Town of Southold has been Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 3 reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the town code and the local waterfront revitalization policy standards. Based upon the information provided to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the action is consistent with the LWRP policy standards and therefore is consistent with the LWRP. Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Town Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing written determination in regards to the consistency of the proposed action." We do have an email that we received from Mary Wade, "Dear Supervisor Russell and Town Board, Regarding the change to allow industrial uses in agricultural/residential zoning, agricultural uses provide multiple benefits to Southold. Greenery improves our air, open space offers a profound aesthetic experience,.farms provide jobs and we can all live on their food without wasteful shipping from far, foreign locations. Farms also require irrigation that depletes our aquifer, also pesticides that pollute our groundwater and can run off and damage marine life. How can Southold support agriculture while enhancing the good and minimizing the bad? Limiting structures, whether greenhouses to buildings for farm sales and certainly production, will protect the public open space value. New approvals for production should 1. Ensure limited water use 2. Insist that the production is both minor and directly related to the primary activity of farming and its crops and animals 3. If making cheese, jam or pies, a commercial kitchen can function at 200 square feet and seems a reasonable size to ensure production remains minor. It can be added to the residence, a barn or be stand alone. The enclosure can be 1.5% of the acreage or 200 square feet whichever is smaller. It should not just be that percentage. 4. Provide an incentive for production to be organic by tying the zoning benefit only to organic farming that better protects our groundwater and bays. Any other production should utilize a commercial or industrial zoned property. What is missing from this zoning proposal is supporting information especially why and what. What are the types of processes and products to be permitted? They need to be written into the code. For instance, cattle processing should be listed as not permitted. This might be the time to determine if a maximum number of large animals per acre should be in the code as well as a minimum distance from water, wetlands, wells and homes." Okay, and that's it. That's all the correspondence. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town-Board on this local law? MARK VANBOURGONDIEN: Mark VanBourgondien, I'm a (inaudible) in Peconic and I am also on the Ag Advisory Committee. Louisa Hargrave asked for a letter to be read into the minutes. She could not be here today, so I said I would do it for her. "To the Supervisor and members of the Town Board, I am writing to you today in support of the proposed bill before you. This legislation recognizes the changing nature of farming in the Town of Southold and the need for more flexibility in how farmers here can-maximize the yield of their crops. In 1973, my former husband and I bought a farm in Cutchogue. The buildings on that farm evidenced the way farming had changed to that point. We could tell from the New Haven red stone basement and wide pine floors of the house that the land,had been farmed since the late 1600's. There were several outbuildings in disrepair, including a hay barn, stable, corn crib, strawberry packing shed, a worker's cottage, smoke house, windmill and -an outhouse. Yes, they now had indoor plumbing. I won't mention the secret cellarTor hiding smuggled booze from Prohibition days. The only buildings in use when we arrived were the concrete potato storage barn and the house. That's because, while the old farm had been self-sufficient, now it, like other North Fork farms, was geared toward wholesale farming of potatoes and cauliflower, mechanized monocultures. Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 4 My husband and I began a different monoculture, wine grapes, but I often got a peek into the old life of diversified farming on the North Fork when I visited my neighbor Stanley Tuthill, in Mattituck. I went there weekly to buy eggs and stayed to hear his stories. Born in 1913, Stanley said as a child he never at an apple without a worm, because if it was perfect, it would be sold. His mother made everything,jams, pickles, sarsaparilla beer and buttered apple pie (she would remove the crust from the pie after it was baked, spread butter on the apples and put the crust back on.) One cold winter, Stanley went to the family's smokehouse to get some bacon and noticed that a ham was missing. He saw footprints in the snow and asked his father if he should follow them to find the thief. His father said no, because if someone took it, they were hungry. Stanley's stories of the olden days told of a different time. We won't go back to that. But we can recognize the essential nature of farming, that it involves processing as well as growing crops. That is part of our heritage here. It also involves collaboration, good will and generosity. Again, that's part of our heritage. The new model for farming in Southold will embrace this old model while adapting to a high-tech world. We may take back some of the old practices, we may discover new ways to keep this agricultural community successful. To do that, we need the understanding and cooperation of the town. I hope that you will pass this resolution in front of you, for processing on ag lands. Sincerely, Louisa Hargrave" And on my own note, I hope that we do get this passed, in my view we could have gone further but we need to start somewhere. so I thank you for hearing us, and I hope you look forward to working with the Ag Advisory Committee and going forward with more resolutions for the town to help agriculture survive in Southold. I would like to see agriculture not just survive, I would like to see it thrive. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on this? Chris? CHRIS BAIZ: Good evening everybody. My name is Chris Baiz, Southold. I am one of those wine-grape growers amongst other things but more importantly for this piece legislation to be introduced at this time simply begins to level the playing field for all of our agricultural lands. For 40 plus years, one crop has been allowed to process on farms and reap the benefits of value added product to sustain the cost of the lands and the families that run those operations and sustain the growth of that industry. And that was wine grapes.• That's why I got into the business, because I saw that there was a value added compounded that would allow us to stay. It's not to the level that I would want to hand it off to my granddaughters and say have at it, that will be a great life because it's nothing but work and you still get to break even but you get to break even with the cost structures that we live with here. This legislation merely attempts to bring the rest of the farmland operations in the Town of Southold up to that level playing field where they too, those acres too can participate in value added components that are not just wine grapes into wine, whether it's potatoes into potato chips or tomatoes_ into salsa or whatever comes forward in the future with the creativity of every individual operator. It's the best thing for the town. Now, the flip side of this, this is only one little bit of the whole need for the agricultural agenda but for the Town Board and for everyone else, and even you in TV land out there, this one step is one of many steps that are in process and we need to get these accomplished one by one. really the next step as the Town Board has indicated at code committee and elsewhere is the mariculture and aquaculture component. So that growers out in the bay can literally land their crops and be able to direct market their crops on land as opposed to receive a cease and desist order from a code enforcement officer because that's not part of Amendments to Chapter 280, Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 5 their, the land is not part of their operation. The underwater is the only part of their operation. To date, we are trying to fix that so these guys can get going later this summer. In short, I know, even though this is very simple, lots of little questions. What does 1 1/2 percent mean, what is the overall property, Scott, you and I had this discussion. Somebody said what happens if I have a two acre parcel and it's surrounded by my 20 acre bona fide agricultural operation, what square footage do I get? Do I get 1 1/2 percent of the 80,000 square feet or do I get 1 1/2 % of the 22 acres? And as you had pointed out, it's the total bona fide agricultural operation that's considered. Others will obviously... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Are you talking about PDR land? MR. BAIZ: Well.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If you have 22 acres that are free and clear... MR. BAIZ: Yes. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You get to cover 1 %2 percent of 22 acres. MR. BAIZ: Right. Okay. Just for the record,-if it's 2 acres of an unencumbered lot surrounded by 20 acres of PDR land, where are we? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That would be a determination for the building inspector, the historic interpretation would be that you would be granted lot coverage based on the 2 acres where the development rights have not been extinguished. MR. BAIZ: Right. Okay. And again, I think it's important to bear in mind, these aren't limitations, these are just thresholds and if one wants to go beyond these thresholds, they simply start with a site plan and Planning and move on from there and if they need ZBA support, they get ZBA support as well. It's not like this is all or nothing and likewise, the last item, paragraph E, the 66 percent. Everyone wants to know how did that happen and one Ag Advisory Committee member said oh, no, it's got to be 100 percent or nothing. You have to grow it all yourself or nothing and another committee member said, oh, no, it should be zero, so that you could bring everything in from anywhere else and others said, well make it 51 percent. Others said 85/15, some said 75/25 and great confusion in the room and then somebody said two to one, two truckloads of yours for one truckload of somebody else's. And as Karen Rivara so ingeniously pointed out at the code committee meeting, that's when the room went silent. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I believe she said that's when the fighting stopped. MR. BAIZ: Well, no, I thought she said that's when the room went silent. Whatever it is, the point being that okay, it's a number and at least it's there and none of this is cast in stone ultimately. These are always living, working-documents and if one needs a little change, you have got to get to 50, 51 percent or as close to that as possible or one says, nope, it's just too low a threshold, let's get to 75 percent. It's something that the Town Board is always very interested in working with the agricultural community to do this. but the key thing is getting the value Amendments to Chapter 280, Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 6 added ability component for all the rest of our farmlands so that our heirs in this industry will say mom and dad worked hard or aunt and uncle worked hard and they've left us room to make a living rather than why do we want to work as hard as they did for nothing. And so, with that, I personally would urge that we pass this and with regard to the committee, I think we were unanimous to see this new resolution adopted as quickly as possible. Thanks. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board? GLYNIS BERRY: Hi, Glynis Berry from Peconic Green Growth. Southold is rightly protective of its farming and marine industries and it's very lucky to have some great farms that showcase organic and conservation practices. So value added activities should be supported in moderation but I would argue with full review. Not giving it a clean pass. SEQRA was mentioned and it was listed as type II, it was listed as type II because agricultural uses are exempt from SEQRA and if you had isolated some of these activities without having the name agricultural in front of it, it would not be type II. So I think by calling it agricultural, we are undermining or we are not understanding some of the negative impacts that could occur. There has been an intensification of uses occurring on all fronts in Southold, whether it be larger homes, expansion of businesses, healthcare industries, hotels, airbnb's and now the expansion of industry and manufacturing. The land has a carrying capacity, above which degradation occurs. So these uses need to be part of a larger plan. One poorly planned operation can counter years of efforts to protect our environment and our waters. Southold's vulnerable water supply is another hidden time bomb, as it comes from aquifers that are pockets of freshwater surrounded by saline waters. If too much water is pumped, saltwater intrusion is likely to occur. Permanently contaminating a vital shared resource, if the town wants to allow farming to have an increased rate of water use which is a very valid, especially for food is very valid, then it should counter that with planning efforts that balance this need through zoning and exchange of water rights, like wastewater credits and regulation and limits on domestic water use. If we just say everybody can do whatever they want, first come, first serve, we are going to destroy what we have and what we cherish. Industries may pollute, livestock and cheese production have a high carbon footprint, many of the waste products can be extremely high in nutrients that feed algal blooms and have toxic by- products. Proper treatment and disposal of by-products needs to be part of a planned and enforced environment. So I am not saying don't do it but understand what you are doing and make sure the best practices are occurring. We should not be unregulated in such a vulnerable environment. A lack of control will encourage less scrupulous owners to maximize profit at the expense of the whole community. There are many examples across the country where farming and beverage companies have destroyed local aquifers and created pollution that was ultimately left to the public to rectify. So some suggestions: do not exempt the added uses from SEQRA and include it in SEQRA, everybody should-be evaluated for their impact of water use and pollutants, you should protect, you might want to consider some areas as special areas where you are vulnerable to salt water intrusion or flooding like the 5 year flood plan and have more restrictions there. And most of all, look for ways to support really best practices and discourage misuse of this. So I am supportive but please do it carefully, don't do it in an unregulated fashion. Thank you. KAREN RIVARA: Good evening, my name is Karen Rivara, I am a shellfish farmer in Southold, I have been farming shellfish here since 2000. I am also a member of the Agricultural Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 7 Advisory Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to speak on this change in the code and it's something as you guys know, it's something we have been working on for several years and so obviously I am speaking in support of it. a couple of points I would like to make, I am the shellfish farmer on the committee and I have been growing shellfish on Long Island for over 35 years. I have seen water degradation that occurs in our bays from urbanization of our land. I feel strongly that keeping agriculture viable and vital in Southold is our best way of protecting not only our ground water but also our bays. Because I find farmers to be excellent stewards of the land, they have to in order to keep their land productive and they are under scrutiny and regulated extensively so that they in fact, do use best management practices, our Southold farmers do, and so I think that this ag processing opportunity will keep these farms more viable. They will allow people, all of our farms, I grew up upstate, all of our farms here are small and so the production level, when people are using their own product as code requires them to use 66 % of their product as their own, is sort of self-regulating in terms of the size of the operations. And people will be able to do things like make tomato sauce or salsa if they grow tomatoes. They will be able to, if they grow a variety of products as most of our farms do now, they will be able to make value added products from what they grow. I think it's an excellent opportunity, I think it's going to keep our farms viable and it's going to make our area that much more special. People come out here as tourists because we have farms, and food and seafood and this is just an enhancement of all of that. I feel our area is more special than Napa Valley and a lot of other areas that are renowned for their food and craft beverages because we have such a diversification of farm disciplines, so please adopt this code and thank you for the opportunity to speak. ADAM (INAUDIBLE): I am speaking here tonight in favor of the proposed changes. I just want to address some of the statements that have been made here tonight and I think it's very important to note that the alternative to farm, farming is housing, okay? And it's not just regular houses, okay, you could have houses with big swimming pools because it's allowed in the code. You also have houses with very thirsty useless green lawns that absolutely serve no purpose other than visual enhancement. They don't feed people and these lawns are very thirsty, usually much more thirsty than the (inaudible) crops I am familiar with, such as grapes which rarely, if ever, require irrigation. Some years not and other years for a couple of months a year. and it's drip irrigation, so it's a very thrifty use of water. Additionally, each house has a septic system, okay, unless it's in the incorporated Village of Greenport. So, household chemicals, including beauty supplies, are known to leach into our estuaries, bays and cause a unisex characteristics among developing aquatic species, okay. So I guess my point here is that, if we are going to have two acre zoning on a 50 acre parcel where you have 25 houses with swimming pools and thirsty lawns versus a building using water to process you know, potatoes into potato chips, I think that has a much lower impact than 25 houses. And keep in mind that the cost of entry into the ag processing is going to be large, so if you think you are going to build 1 '/2 percent on 50 acres, that's going to cost you millions of dollars, maybe tens of millions to build a facility that size. My prediction is most of the ag processing will be more like the one at Sang Lee farms currently operating, making some salad dressings and some pesto out of stuff that they grow and also a small dairy operation like Catapano that's making a small amount of cheese. I would very much doubt that the day this legislation passes that there is somebody like Heinz ketchup is going to move in and grow a bunch of tomatoes and build a factory. And there was another comment about regulation and how this was going to be an unregulated industry. The fact of the matter is, anybody who builds an ag processing facility is subject to the 20C regulations for Ag Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 8 and Markets, okay, and that has very specific guidelines for how food processing plants operate, including the prevention of food borne illness by a program known as (inaudible) where you have to identify points of control where you could potentially pick up contamination. There's USDA monitoring of all the products, so that they can be recalled in the event of food borne illness, additionally Suffolk County Health Department will be involved and you will have to come up with a plan for wastewater, whether it's septic or treatment, they will require you to come up with some sort of plan where you will not just be willy nilly releasing the high nitrogen level into the bay, okay? So I think the characterization that it's going to be the wild, wild west here and there's going to be these huge factories on our beautiful farmland, chugging out, you know, with big smokestacks chugging out pollutants and we are going to be dumping into the bay, I would say more of a chicken little approach and less than, I think it's not going to be the reality of the situation. So I think this is a sensible approach, it gets, gets farmers who are already operating the relief they need so they can continue their operations and ag process. It will get start- ups a leg up so they can come up with a plan to make farming viable now and into the future. So, thank you for your time. VENETIA HANDS: I am Venetia Hands, I am a member of the Orient Association board. I would like to thank the previous speaker, he has given me more information in his couple of minutes up here than I have received so far on this and that's our main issue, is we don't have information. Let me get back to what I actually wanted to say, all of us in Orient Association love farms, love being here, do not want house farms and we do want to support farmers and we are very aware that we seeing as doing. And we have come to realize that there are some things that we do say and do that are counterproductive. That are not helping farmers and we need to rethink some of the ways we are proceeding. A lot of conflict sits on this now, from environmental people, sort'of talking through some of the changes that need to be made. And so we want to participate that we want to be part of the change in the conversation. We want to be part of the solution. I also need to just say that Orient Association takes no position on this law, we have not supported it, we are not against it. We never take a position, we simply try to collect information that's pertinent so our members can understand what's happening. So we have a few comments and questions about this law and I want you to understand they are comments and questions, they are not objection. Don't read into them. So our first, we really, really hope that farmers who go into this new venture will go in with confidence and that it will payout for them. The whole point of this is to make a value added and allow them to hopefully, more than break even, hopefully thrive. We're not aware of any feasibility study being done. We're not aware of any sense of the scale or the size, whether it's these huge factories or little jamming things. We're not aware of anyone having done the math, which can be done. How much is it going to cost to build? To distribute? What will the market make? Who are the customers? What if you all start competing with each other? This isn't going to work, unless it's really, really looked at carefully and we want it to work. So the second thing is, we don't know what on farm processing entails. And the law, as such, offers no guidance. Inaudible. Jams, jellies, potato chips, salsa. These are all things I can buy on farmstands now, so that confuses us because it's like what are we asking for that can't be done and of course, the other extreme, we've got 1.5 percent of the land available, I don't know of anybody that has 100 acres here but that's a whole acre and begins to sell like industrial. We have no concept of what these are going to look like or be like. And we want to have that, we don't know what resources will be required especially in terms of water. We don't know what kind of waste will be produced. Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 9 We don't know what regulations farmers operate under now, nobody explains this to us. and none of us are in it as careers, we can't possibly do that. all of these laws, we need backgrounds and explanations, so that lay people can get a sense of understanding. I gather from the agricultural chapter (inaudible) that everything a farmer grows can be processed and that includes livestock. So I have some people saying, does that mean they are going to be able to slaughter livestock? Which I think currently has to happen somewhere else. So again, we don't know what the hazards are of that. I have already mentioned the 1.5 of the total acreage. How to envision without being some pictures or shown what's happening in some other places where they are doing. Buildings that are less than 3,000 square feet, to have those built without a site plan review, there is a site plan, I hear that. It's the review we'd like to skip and I'd like to be able to say yes but we don't know what gets reviewed, what's asked. We've heard that SEQRA's not, ever. but other things are. It's just, these are just questions and concerns, again, they are not objections. I feel that there is something missing in the way Southold Town formulates and passes laws. I feel we are missing the genuine conversation and a dialogue with all stakeholders. I gather the Ag Advisory Committee and the Land Preservation Committee might start meeting together and talking together, there are a lot of misunderstandings that need to be sorted out. Great. We don't get to participate, the public, in the process before these laws. We can go to your work sessions and listen, we can't talk. We can send letters in and comments, we don't get answers. They just go into files. We can come here and make our little speeches, pro or con but again, they are just going to go into a file somewhere. Nobody is going to come back and tell us, nobody is going to explain stuff to us. We will be told our issues have been taken into account and here is the new law, 99 percent unchanged. Civic associations in Southold are getting bigger and stronger. They are a response to this lack of genuine dialogue, to what I call the law of unintended consequences, and I saw that coming up in a whole ton of memos recently and I can see it as the theme hit, unintended consequences of what we need to guard against. So the next time that you are thinking of something that we can bring to you, like (inaudible) where we are collaborating, please invite us in in some way, shape or form earlier, so we can be better educated. I think you will find us standing with you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, I have to tell you, I have worked with you for a very long time, I think you are very pragmatic. You have also, your association, I think we have had good rapport with. I will say with regard to engaging the public, we have a code committee meetings that are well noticed everywhere. The committee generally meets, they discuss all these different aspects and then at the end of those meetings, the public can comment and then that's where the questions and issues can be raised. A lot of what you raised where discussions that got us here but I would certainly, I hear what you are saying and it's on us to do a better job reaching out there and how we can engage your organizations. We are even willing to meet, we move meetings around to make them available to people. MS. HANDS: You do. You do. I think the potential for it is there. we are all feeling like a bunch of nerds running around listening to your code meetings and things like that, instead of doing whatever we want to do here. But anyway, thank you very much. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, as a point of information, the Board, at any time, there is something underway and I know this had been covered quite a few times in the local media, you are always welcome to reach out. I can go, Board members can go. I even think, committee Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 10 members, whether it's Ag Advisory, whether it's Anti-Bias, whatever committee representatives, I think they would all be willing to meet with any community organization at any time. But with regard to you general outreach, I will just say point well taken. MS. HANDS: Thank you. ANNE MURRAY: I am Anne Murray from East Marion and I just wanted to say, I am speaking only as Anne Murray from East Marion, not from our community association. We have not taken a position on this. I am in favor of farmers allowed to do processing but I have a lot of questions and I echo Venetia's comments. We just don't know a lot of the unintended consequences here. And I would urge you to leave this hearing open so that more people can hear about it and give public comment and consider and examine all the consequences of what might happen if this law is enacted, for example, the Lavender Farm in East Marion could decide to pasteurize it's honey for example, put up an additional building as long as the size doesn't exceed 1 '/2 percent of the acreage of the farm. From my calculation, so say its 17 acres, we'll leave out the preserved part right now, they could put up a building that covers 1/4 of an acre or 10,890 square feet. That's a lot to pack in that corner of East Marion. And what if the lavender farmer decides to advertise tours of the honey processing facility to draw additional visitors before and after his bloom each year, which ties up East Marion for three weeks and no one can get through? I think you see where I am going with this. I don't think East Marion can handle the potential traffic that this could bring and that's only one example at one farm. There may be others that might have similar problems. I think Glynnis made a very good point in her article, I don't think it applies to any of the farmers here but less scrupulous owners are apt to maximize profit at the expense of the whole community, I think that's one thing you need to think about when you draw up these kinds of laws. For example, do we know if Tenedios farm in Orient would be allowed to process its livestock? Do we know the answer? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: A slaughterhouse wouldn't be permitted, this code would not permit slaughterhouses. MS. MURRAY: Well, I did some research, Ag and Markets allows farmers with 1,000 birds or less to process and we have Browders birds and I think we have another farm that processes poultry. So if he decides to process poultry there, as long as he doesn't come above those limits he could put up a processing facility for poultry. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to defer to the Town Attorney but it's the town code that speaks to the allowed uses, not Ag and Markets. MS. MURRAY: Well, but according to an interview with the woman who has one of the poultry farms, if you have up to 20,000 birds you can do an indoor processing facility with drains and stainless steel fixtures but if you go over 20,000 birds, then you are regulated by the USDA. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I don't know what she is referencing though because we are discussing the town code. Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 11 MS. MURRAY: Right but they are already processing birds at Browders birds and I think Feisty Acres farm. Which is great, I think they have great products but what if everybody did that? What would the impact be? You know, we just don't know and I think Venetia brought up a lot of good questions, I think the public, if they see you enact this law, they might be saying, gee I didn't know about this, what are the effects, what are the specifics? What exactly is included in the code? For example, I looked up agriculture production includes livestock, livestock products. Cattle, sheep, hogs, goats. So there's my question, on maybe the USDA wouldn't let him process cattle but he may be able to do poultry in Orient. So what happens to the waste? What happens to the run-off? I think it's a legitimate question. You know, how many more places like that could be aquifer supported in Orient? I don't think too many. So as I said, I think most of the farmers here are good actors, I am not saying anybody is a bad actor but we have to think about, you know, we already have too many houses. How many more intense uses can we take? And the most important thing is what happens to the environment? Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I appreciate it. Thank you. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I would like to clarify something in the code about, for example under 3,000 square feet you don't need a site plan but we still have our building codes, it doesn't mean you can just go and put up any building. They still have to get permits from the building department and under regulations, town regulations and state code for a building permit for building. TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: And health department. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Suffolk County Department of Health would be overseeing... COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: So they are not just exempt from everything, we are saying under the 3,000 they don't have to go to Planning Board for review but they still have to go under building department and the building department can kick it to the ZBA, depending on how they apply, what they apply for. So it's still under, you know, all the other regulations everybody else has to go through. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I just want to say, I have heard the word unscrupulous a few times, that's always a concern whenever we adopt something, the bait and switch, I am a farmer well, no I am not, I am a retail producer. The Ag Advisory Committee is very aware of that, actually with reference to the farmstand code and they are on top of it. it's a very heavily self-regulated industry. They know the imposters, they don't want to compete with the imposters. So what they'll do is they'll bring that back as a committee and they'll bring up or devise ways of stopping it, such as a farmstand license, things like that. but everything you have said, your point is well-taken. Who else would like to address the Board? CHARLES (INAUDIBLE): Charles (inaudible), Mattitucic. Of all the speakers speaking on this subject I probably know the least about it. Just hearing what's been said, it seems that the economic stability of the farmers as well as the water and the other environmental issues are both critical to the welfare and the future of the north fork. And I don't know if this is practical or not but by setting a precedent at one farm, you are likely to get a handful of farmers doing this Amendments to Chapter 280, Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 12 eventually and it might be easier to control the environmental outfit of a facility like that if you had local cooperative type facility that all the farmers can share. Thank you. - DOUG COOPER: Good evening, Doug Cooper, Mattituck. One of the things I am hearing tonight is fear about the size of the facility, the amount of processing. It is my belief, very strongly, that any processing that is going to take place is going to be totally geared for local consumption. We cannot compete with the big boys shipping to New York. it's hard to do that with the produce we grow that's shipped to New York, we can't. You are not going to compete against Ragu or anything like this for tomato sauce. We are going to be competing against ourselves if processing gets popular. And I doubt greatly that it will get that popular. The size of the facilities, that lady that spoke about a big building on 20 acres or whatever it was, nobody is going to build a huge processing building that they don't need. You are going to build it to size and no bigger than you need to process and that's why we went up to 3,000 square feet as of right. Anything over that comes under review, and should. But for the small processer that wants to make some jam or sauce or whatever, he can work under this proposed legislation. Sol urge you to support it, thank you. KATHRYN SEPENOSKI: Kathryn Sepenoski, Sep's farm, East Marion. I thought that the public had a great opportunity to speak today and I appreciate everything that the Ag Advisory has done to bring this forward and I appreciate what they do. They are proud of what they bring forward. We don't use what we don't need because we can't afford it. Our youngest tractor, youngest, is from the 70's. My husband has to generally make some of the parts to repair some of these tractors because they don't make them anymore. So a farmer has to use his ingenuity, his tenacity and his and her, absolutely, and her tenacity, to keep bringing this forward. And we are gamblers at heart because we don't know what we are going to come out with in the end and if we are lucky enough to get a product at the end, that we can turn into something else to sell, we are not, we do regulate each other, we do know who those bad actors are. We want to support each other. Anytime one farmer is out of something, they know they can go to another farmer to get help. We might brag that our product is better than theirs, we never, but in the end we all support each other. And that means supporting our neighbors who are the homeowners that are around us as well. We feel that our farms are community centers, that most people gather at our farms to have conversations that are important to them, whether it's about a recipe that then leads into some PTA discussion or something about the roads or the water. And when you talk about the water, we use soil and water conservation. We work with our, the industry works to protect what we have. We don't want to have to run irrigation pumps. We don't want to have to use more water than is necessary and I just think that this is a valuable thing that would add to the whole community and I really hope that you pass it. I think this is something that we desperately need. I know it's something we, as a farm, ourselves individually, desperately need in order to continue doing what we do. And what, as I said, we are gamblers. We don't know how to stop. We sit and look at our seed catalogues in the winter thinking about how wonderful it's going to be but the reality is, you don't get that yield that the catalogue tells you it's going to get there. Last July, it started raining every Friday. Four inches of rain, we would have been better off growing rice than the vegetables. But we got them there, we managed to get through the end of the season and pay our bills. So I urge you to pass them and support the local farmers. Amendments to Chapter 280, Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 13 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just say on a personal level, a tractor from the 70's is one that Bill would call new. COUNCILMAN RULAND: You are right. MS. SEPENOSKI: Well, I said it was the youngest. I didn't tell you how old the oldest one was. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board? COUNCILMAN RULAND: I would. Since you brought it up. I have heard a lot of comments this evening. I know a lot of the people in the audience. I know most of the people that are involved in agriculture in the audience one way or another: But I will say for the group and for the camera that I am a dirt farmer. I have been a dirt farmer my entire life and some of the things my good friend Mr. Cooper spoke about, he and I have both seen throughout our lifetimes and that is change. He talked about how people feared change and if anybody was in the potato industry in 1985, they would know what I was talking about. Because change came so rapidly that people could not comprehend a country, that every producing area had such a crop that it, was worth nothing. It was the demise of the mono-culture that we were used to. people said our farms will never survive. Yet, the resiliency of the farmer superseded the challenge they were presented with and they moved on. Some diversified into vegetables, myself being one. And vegetable farming, for anybody that has done it commercially, will know that you-are competing against the world. You are competing against the Canadians that it does not matter what they sell if for because they are subsidized and we can't ship one single anything into Canada because they have their own, except citrus because they can't grow that, other than-that, it's a one'way and it's the wrong way. If you try to bring something across the border and I was involved in something like that once and I spent a long time at the border that day, finding out what I had on the truck was not going to Canada, it was just on the truck to pick up something and you know what, I had to unload it all by hand myself because they don't allow it, period. I use that as an example because people talked about fear, alright, we are so regulated that somedays your head spins and you say, why do I do what I do? And to, I'll call you by your first name if you don't mind, Kate, a lot of it is because we love what we do. My family has been in the same place farming for over 300 years and it has changed a lot, it's changed from something that was very small and it was animal dependent and crops to support the animals and what was left was sold. And yes, back then there was some very interesting things, everyone processed their own meats, there was no question about that and if you had extra, you shared it with your neighbor. And they shared something with you that you didn't have. Now we fast forward, 100 years and things are different yet they are the same. The needs are the same, the needs to feed people will never go away, how we do it, someone in the audience Mark VanBourgondien, he talks about change oh, there he is, change and change is inevitable. We are talking about something tonight that's change. It's also quite obvious that no-one is going to go out and build a large anything because it's economically not feasible. But the ability to process something that you can grow and adds a value to it that you can sell without a broker, middleman, do things that people don't know you do in order to continue to do what you do, people who know me know that five nights a week for 29 years I went to Hunts Point. And there was no driver, you did the thing, you worked all day, you got the truck, you went to New York, you came home. And you were told Amendments to Chapter 280, Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 14 by grandpa you can't sleep, you've got another load, you are going in. And you can sleep on Friday. And this is on a Tuesday. So your commitment was, this is what we do, we do this because we have to do it. So here again, we fast forward to the fear of the unknown and the unknown is having the ability to take your idea of your own garden salad or whatever it is and produce it into a product that you can offer for sale, either locally or be able to send it somewhere. Oh, yes but before you are able to do that, every agency in the world is going to counsel you on how what you can and can't do in order to do what you thought you could do rather easily. And that, anybody that processes anything knows that they are there from the government to help you, has been for years and years and years. But I think that to some of the other people's comments about what is reasonable and what is not, this proposal in my mind is more than reasonable. I have been involved a lot of years working with, as liaison to the Ag Committee, listening to the discussion. Listening to people, listening to concerns, listening to compromise, listening to people who say I think we can make this work because it's a reasonable proposal and I believe it's a reasonable proposal and I am certainly prepared to support it. I think that one thing is obvious, agriculture in our town is changing. In a lot of ways, it's reverting to what it was 150 years ago but on a moderate scale because of the technologies available to the producers, regardless of what they produce. The ability to support their production in a way that was not available to people 100 or more years ago. Whether its mechanization, technology, the ability to market electronically and connect with your customers in urban areas where you can deliver to restaurants directly. The things that the producer needs regardless of whatever they produce. To take their product, with the value added, sell it and maintain, not only the lifestyle, but a function of a farm in our town, wherever it's located for one, is a destination for people that want to look at it, some people want to visit it because they are interested in what you are doing and how you are doing it but I think that as a community and the Town of Southold as a whole, we are far better off than if we were built out to the max with/ residential housing and all the problems that go with it. And I have probably taken more time than the Supervisor would like to hear me talk, but it's on my heart and people need to know. The fear is probably unfounded but any change, change is inevitable. Mr. Cooper is out there and he, once a week or more he says, the only constant in farming or pretty much anything in life today is change. It's changing at warp speed in some areas, it's changing rapidly in other areas and there are other areas where it needs to change. And there are some areas where it should revert back to where it used to be because common sense approaches that went with it what were to sustain it. I am done. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to? Chris? CHRIS BAIZ: Chris Baiz again. Let's return by going back to the beginning. There's already processing going on in town, it's called our wineries. They operate approximately 3,000 acres of farmland in the town. It's the other 7,000 acres that are unequal and sub-equal because of to date, unless they put in vineyards to put in more wineries, they can't process and take advantage of value added components that exist in the food system. We are obviously missing people tonight because these last two days have probably been the best back to back two days for anybody in agriculture to be out there and I know, I don't think Tom is here tonight, oh, there you are. So, alright, one of the things these guys have to deal with as opposed to all the other regulatory aspects in delivering food is the FDA's FSMA, food safety modernization act, which is just, so, it's just one more of probably a dozen regulatory size to the whole thing. it's what we Amendments to Chapter 280,,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 15 got involved with on the aquaculture/mariculture, did the town need to set up regulatory food rules or where they already there which Karen Rivara can attest to and all the permitting that is required, vis a vis the DEC with temperature controls and ice this and ice that, so several of the important things to realize in this legislation, there's nothing new here. The 3,000 square feet was simply borrowed from the now 12 year old farmstand code, chapter 72 which says a farmstand up to 3,000 square feet you just go to the building department and you get your building permit. You don't need site plan approval, blah blah this, blah blah that. same story here, that was the same idea. And why is it 1 %2 percent? Well, presently in the code for accessory buildings and you experts up there help me out, there's something about 3 percent maximum for accessory buildings square footage? And what did we do, we cut it in half for processing building and we saved the other 1 %2 forother agricultural use in the future. So none of this is new and therefore should be straight forward and we are just trying to bring 7,000 acres of farmland into the 21St century and let them do the similarly what the wine grape farm lots have been able to do for 40 years. Let's pass'this thing tonight. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board? SARAH NAPPA: Sarah Nappa, Southold. As Councilman Ruland said, the industry is changing and it's not just changing here, it's changing all across the country. And we need the flexibility from the town for those changes, for whatever the future holds for agriculture. Agriculture is our industry here. This is our economy, this is what our jobs are. We have good full-time living wage jobs in farming and we need to make sure that we preserve that and we have viability for the future of that. The old farmers, a lot of them that are in the room, they are already forward thinkers because they have already been through a change. As Mr. Ruland said, in the 80's there was another change, so that's how they are still here today but we need to be able to change in the future as well. Nationally, you know, farmers" are responsible. Farmers care about the environment. The environmental impacts have,more impact on farmers than almost anyone else out here. We are fully aware and we, are good stewards of the land. A lot of people are practicing regeneration and organics, more and more. We care about, water quality, we care about those things. And no farmer is going to use more than they need. It is part of the nature of farming, in order to stay viable, you only use what you need. Also, we need more people starting farms here and if we have restrictions and things, it's only going to make it more difficult. As all the farmers here know, no one is getting rich on farming. We need to be promoting that and supporting that. we need young people to come out and farm here. We need the people that are already here to stay here and pass those farms on. I do believe that this is very good for our industry and I do hope that the Board can see that. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board? TOM STEVENSON: Tom Stevenson, Orient. Sorry, I was at the school board meeting and that one ran late, too. I couldn't miss that. I don't know what has been said but I do know what we have been working on in the Ag Advisory Committee for years. I think it's time to pass something that's restoring rights that I think farmers through generations have had and for whatever reason, in the code through zoning, we somehow got stripped of the right to process. I ha'd a little time before our meeting Wednesday, walked and looked at the pictures on that side because I had seen the pictures hanging on the wall a whole bunch,of times and you probably Amendments to Chapter 280,Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 16 know the picture of the pig killing on Soundview Avenue. There is a picture'of a farmer with an axe and the family standing around, a kid sitting right on the pig.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Reading Charlotte's Web? MR. STEVENSON: Yeah, I guess. But I guess that's processing,,huh? And I think that's more the level that we are talking about than the editorial that was written here about processing on farms, is it good for Southold? And despite what some people say, Orient still is just a little bit a farming community, not just a community of non-farmers. There's a few left. I am not sure who is going to be able to stick it out unless some changes happen. If this doesn't,go through, I can tell you, you really start looking long term whether you want to fight it out in Southold or whether, you are seeing people leaving here. And processing is essential to add value to your product, the raw product, there is no way. So I don't think agricultural use should be considered industrial uses. Industrial uses to me would be like Epcal, the 2 million square feet of industrial manufacturing, things of that nature. I don't think it's fair to say, to paint our industry as industrial is not the word to use and I have, I do have problems with a lot of the assumptions that are being made about this. it was written by my neighbor, she didn't, she doesn't, she's never called me, talked to me, asked me or attended an Ag Advisory meeting to talk to us about it, so that's unfortunate. What else do we have, I don't want to lengthen this a lot longer, it's been a long day. Going to be a long one tomorrow, raining again. So but farmers really need this and I am hoping you will move forward and help us out. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board? I would just like to make a quick, first in the interest of clarity, the people who could open a processing facility would already had to established themselves as a bona fide ag operator, which means they would have to have been farming already for two successive years and earned a certain level of income prior to opening an ag processing facility, so the basis of that is, if you want the benefits of processing, you need to prove that you are a farmer, so there's a component to that. plus what Chris had talked about, leveling the playing field with the winery industry, I would submit that it would make the playing field not level but a little less unequal since they still have the 20 percent lot coverage in the code. But again, anything to restore some semblance of balance of rights. I have to tell you, from Venetia, I heard her concerns. I certainly agree with regard to public outreach and we hear that a lot when we propose legislation. I don't know how else to do it. I put, we run ads, we put it in the paper, we have code committee meetings, we will move the meetings around to make them convenient for as many people as possible. I always go to any community group that asks me to come. My cell phone is on the website, which explains why my extended car warranty is expiring but the thing is, I don't' know how else to do it and I keep asking the public, what else can we do to reach out as a Board? We certainly would. She raised some questions and Anne did as well, they were good questions and those are types of questions that can be brought and if we don't have the answers, I would certainly be happy to research and get those answers. But I need people to engage a little bit earlier in the process. One last thing I was going to say, also with regard to concerns about the Lavender Farm, I understand unique circumstances there but processing does not, there is no provision in this code for retailing, they would still be beholden to the farmstand code which only allow them to retail 40 percent of what they produce there and 60 percent would have to be products in their natural state. And then the Amendments to Chapter 280, Agricultural Processing May 7, 2019 page 17 others could be wholesaling out to other supply chains. Do we want to close the public hearing, hold it over subject to written comment? COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I would say hold it subject to written comment. Close this hearing subject to written comments.

This legislation recognizes the changing nature of farming in the Town of Southold, and the need for more flexibility in how farmers here can maximize the yield of their crops. In 1973 my former husband and I bought a farm in Cutchogue. The buildings on that farm evidenced the way farming had changed to that point. We could tell from the New Haven red stone basement and wide pine floors of the house that the land had been farmed since the late 1600s. There were several outbuildings in disrepair, including a hay barn, a stable, a corn crib, a strawberry packing shed, a worker's cottage, a smoke house, a windmill, and an outhouse. Yes; they now had indoor plumbing. I won't mention the secret cellar for hiding smuggled booze from Prohibition days. The only buildings in use when we arrived were the concrete potato storage barn and the house. That's because, while the old farm had been self-sufficient, now it, like other North Fork farms, was geared toward wholesale farming of potatoes and cauliflower—mechanized monocultures. My husband and I began a different monoculture—wine grapes, but I often got a peek into the old life of diversified farming on the North Fork when I visited my neighbor Stanley Tuthill in Mattituck. I went there weekly to buy eggs, and stayed to hear his stories. Born in 1913, Stanley said as a child he never ate an apple without a worm because if it was perfect, it would be sold. His mother made everything jams, pickles; sarsaparilla beer and buttered apple pie. (She'd remove the crust from the pie after it was baked, spread butter on the apples, and put the top back on.) One cold winter, Stanley went to the family's smokehouse to get some bacon and noticed that a ham was missing. He saw footprints in the snow and asked his father if he should follow them to find the thief. His father said, "No, because if someone took it, they were hungry." Stanley's stories of the olden days told of a different time. We won't go back to that. But we can recognize the essential nature of farming, that it involves processing as well as growing crops. That is part of our heritage here. It also involves collaboration, good will, and generosity. Again, that's part of our heritage. The new model for farming in Southold will embrace this old model while adapting to a high-tech world. We may take back some old practices; we may discover new ways to keep this agricultural community successful. To do that, we need the understanding and cooperation of the town. hope you will pass Resolution 2019-345.

Greenery improves our air, open space offers a profound aesthetic experience, farms provide jobs, and we can all live on their food without wasteful shipping from far flung locations. Farms also require irrigation that depletes our aquifer, may use fertilizer and pesticides that pollute our ground water and can run-off to damage marine life. How can Southold support agriculture while enhancing the good and minimizing the bad? Limiting structures,whether greenhouses to buildings for farm sales and certainly production,will protect the public open space value.New approvals for production should: 1. Ensure limited water use 2. Insist that the production is both minor and directly related to the primary activity of farming and its crops and animals. 3. If making cheese,jam or pies, a commercial kitchen can function at 200 sq. ft. and seems a reasonable size to ensure production remains minor. It can be added to the residence, a barn or be stand-alone.The enclosure can be 1.5%of the acreage or 200 sq. ft.,whichever is smaller. It should NOT just be that percentage. 4. Provide an incentive for production to be organic by tying the zoning benefit only to organic farming that better protects our groundwater and bays. Any other production should utilize a commercial or industrial zoned property. What is missing from this zoning proposal is supporting information especially why and what. What are the types of processes and products to be permitted?They need to be written into the code.For instance, cattle processing should be listed as not permitted. This might be the time to determine if a maximum number of large animals per acre should be in the code as well as a minimum distance from water,wetlands,wells and homes. 1 r Sincerely, Randy Wade Greenport 917-655-6939 ATTENTION: This email came from an external source.

Hello. I'm Venetia Hands, a member of the Orient Association Board. The first thing I want to say this evening is that I, personally, and all of us closely associated with OA love the fact that we live in a farming community. We understand that farming is one of the hardest ways to make a living. We want to support farmers. And, we have come to realize that some of the things we say and do are not helping Southold farmers. We need to re-think what we are doing.We would like to change the conversation. I also need to say that Orient Association as such takes no position on this law—or any other issue that comes up for hearing. Our mission is to inform and educate our members so that they, should they choose, can state their views. With that said, let me make a few comments and ask a few questions about the Agricultural Processing law.And please, understand that comments and questions are NOT objections.They are requests for better knowledge and understanding. 1. First, our biggest hope is that this law,when implemented,will help Southold Farmers financially. We hope some kind of feasibility study has been done that looks at the costs to farmers of building and getting their processing systems up and running...And that there will be more than sufficient outlets for sale and distribution ... and enough customers paying sufficient in price to make this work.We hope farmers are going into this new venture with confidence that it will pay out for them. 2. Second,we don't know what"on farm processing" entails and the law offers no guidance. However,the latest draft of the Agriculture Chapter in the Comprehensive Plan does tell us that everything a farmer grows can be processed, including livestock. We don't know what resources will be required for the processing—especially in terms of water.And we don't know what kind of wastes will be produced,or how they will be handled. We do know that we live in a fragile ecosystem and that our aquifers are teetering on the edge of serious salt intrusion and inadequacy. Farmers are not to blame for this. Increased development and residential size and density are---along with hundreds of water-hungry swimming pools. On the particular subject of processing livestock,we understand that currently animals have to be taken somewhere else entirely. We hope that will remain the case. 3. Third, we note that a processing facility can have a footprint covering 1.5%of the farm's total acreage. Could that be a whole acre or acre and a half in some cases?Are there 50 and 100-acre farms left? it sounds huge to us of course and it would help us to understand how such facilities would be sited and what they would look like so we don't start to have factory-like things popping up across the landscape. 4. Fourth, we note that for buildings of 3,000 sq. ft. or less, you want these to be built without a site plan review.That's a review... it doesn't mean there won't be a site plan as such. But what does a site plan for a smallish processing facility require? If we could see more of how this would work in practice,we would have a better understanding. 5. Finally, we heard Supervisor Russell respond to a question about exploring a cooperative approach to processing. He told the questioner not to go down that path now. It would take another 3 years. But we hope,when this law is completed,that those interested in a coop approach will get together to explore that option, and we would be happy to help in any way we can. These are all questions and concerns. They are not objections,as I said before. There is something missing in the way Southold Town formulates and passes laws. It is genuine conversation and dialog with all stakeholder groups.And this is a bigger issue. We don't get to participate in the process of forming these laws—although we can listen to work sessions. We can write and raise concerns but they don't get addressed.They get put in the file.We can raise questions and concerns in a public hearing, as we are right now, but again,these are going to disappear into a file somewhere.We won't hear the discussion about them. No one will approach us to explain or educate us.We'll be told our issues have been taken into consideration--and now here is the revised law—99%unchanged. Civic Associations in Southold are getting bigger and stronger.They are a response to this lack of genuine dialog. When you start to discuss needs for new laws,why not engage us?

Agriculture has transitioned over the last few decades and with changing regulations, increased pressure on farmers from many different sources, low commodity prices, and unsurety of a labor supply, farmers need to be able to diversify and utilize all means possible to improve the outlook for the long term viability of their operations. This legislation is a great first step in allowing farmers the ability to adapt their business model to capture and take advantage of new agricultural production market opportunities as they present themselves and will have a positive influence on the survival of agriculture in Southold. We would like to recognize Supervisor Russell and the Town of Southold Board members for their foresight in proposing and working to enact this code change.

As the proprietor of East End Flower Farm, 1355 Mill Road, Mattituck,NY, 11952, we strongly encourage the passage of Local Law No. 2019. A local law in relation to an amendment to Chapter 280, Zoning, in connection with Agriculture Processing in the Town of Southold. Thank you in advance for your continued support of the local farming community. With Respect; Kathleen Long Proprietor East End Flower Farm Sang Lee Farms RECEIVE} 25180 County Rd.48 Peconic'NY MAY 2 1 2019 11958 Southold Town Clerk Dear Southold Town Board, Sang Lee Farms supports the Agriculture Advisory Committee recommendations for changes to chapter 280 as-well as the Agriculture Bulk schedule in the Southold Town Code.-These changes will help us adapt our local laws to the New York State Ag and Markets standards. It is an important step in maintaining the productivity of our agricultural lands. It will aid in the sustainability of operating a bonafide agricultural business here in Southold town.The barrier to entry for exemption should be sufficient. If the business owners are living and working here in Southold town I believe-they will have,a positive impact on the quality of life. I believe true bonafide agricultural food production businesses here in Southold town will benefit the community and the environment. Most of our farmland is fallow or has been transitioned out of food production. I believe there is a positive environmental impact when farmland remains productive with row crops or'food production. I feel that without enhancing the capability of our agricultural food businesses,sod or nursery will take the place of row crops in the future.The loss of topsoil under these types of management practices could have a greater impact on our fragile water system and the overall ecological,balance. I hope the potential changes will help maintain the capability of real food producing agricultural businesses here in Southold town. Our Farms and Fisheries are what give us our culture and heritage. We have the capability to produce some of the best food here with our aquafers and well-draining topsoil. I hope to continue farming here in,Southold Town for the next generation. I believe these potential changes will help us continue to grow food in Southold Town.

We currently lease farm land and infrastructure from the Peconic Land Trust through the Farms for the Future initiative and we are proud to keep valuable acreage in agricultural production.As a small scale game bird and specialty poultry farm, run by just two people, the ability to raise and process our birds on site is essential to the survival of our business. Poultry processing facilities, that allow access to the public, are far and few between and are becoming more scarce as the years go on. Processing plants are being bought up and privatized by large, corporately owned farms at an alarming rate in our country, actively shutting out small, family owned operations. Many small poultry farms across the country are going out of business due to the inability to access poultry processing facilities that are a reasonable distance from their farm and do not put the welfare of the animals at risk. Many birds suffer 8+ hour journeys, without food or water, some even die en route. Chris and myself have been able to garner a well received reputation both locally and in New York City for our humane livestock practices, which not only includes a life lived on pasture, but also the fact that we are involved in every step of our product: "From chick to plate,"as we like to say. The ability to process agricultural products on the farm and the opportunities for success in regional markets, of course, extends to all the industries in farming:vegetable farms, orchards, wineries,fisheries, hops farms, grain producers—you get the idea. In order for farms to stay in business, we need to make money.And in order to make money, we must possess the ability to adapt to the changing economic conditions of the markets in which we sell. Many trends are leaning towards"value added" products and convenience products.And the chance to have full control of our Long Island grown products will greatly increase the quality of what we have to offer to local, regional and, perhaps, national markets. _ In short, Feisty Acres supports the proposed legislation and amendments to chapter 280 that would allow farms to process agricultural goods`on site." It will help secure the livelihoods of farms in our town and better the quality of life of residents that wish to see rolling pasture, hops fields, and rows of vegetables instead of crowded housing and asphalt parking lots.

Box 1179 Southold,_NY 11971 Re: Ag Processing Code Dear Board of Trustees: My wife, Holly Browder,and I own Browder's Birds Pastured Poultry Farm in Mattituck. We farm where we live on 16.5 acres of land, 13 of which are Development Rights Sold land(rights owned by Southold Town). We raise certified organic and pasture-raised egg and,meat chickens,turkeys for Thanksgiving, Cotswold sheep,ducks for eggs and honey bees. We've been farming in Southold Town since 2010, so we are entering our 10th year of operation. I am writing in support of passing the Ag Processing Code that the Town of Southold is presently considering. The price of land and doing business is so high on Long Island,earning a profit as a small farmer borders on impossible. That's why small farms need the flexibility to farm niche products and process them into value added items that bring higher margins to their farm business. Without this flexibility,farmers have to send their products to third party processors(if available) in or out of state which in effect,squeezes margins. In addition,farm lenders want to see sustainable cash flow to provide financing and these on farm processing activities-will certainly enhance farmers ability to procure-financing. Finally,all aspects of food processing are regulated and inspected by county,state or federal authorities for sanitation and labor. These regulators help insure a safe product for the consuming public. In my opinion,the 1.5%threshold for ag processing facilities on farm as outlined by the Town Board makes practical sense to me. This level provides for the necessary space for farmers without the threat of massive processing facilities along the landscape. I would be delighted to discuss this with any Board _member,or concerned citizen. Thank you for your consideration.

I have interviewed only seven farmers and they either did not believe the anyone would fully utilize what the proposed law would allow or could not suggest an example. So I would welcome any examples of farmers who could make use of a 3,000 sq. ft. processing facility or 1.5% of their property for processing. To clarify, ownership does not define a use as one farmer suggested. A factory is an industrial use. However it would still be positive to allow processing, on a much smaller scale, in an agricultural zone. There are many reasons why the town has industrial and commercial zones. Thank you.

Mrs. Catapano on#25 legally makes strawberry jam in her own kitchen and might need a 10'x 10'area to store jars. For tomato sauce she said a commercial kitchen would be needed.

Browders Birds has a refrigerated trailer about 8'x 28' (224 sq.ft.)but they do not process They harvest their birds. Their pies are made in someone else's commercial kitchen. The Board Liaison suggested I research hops and hemp. I called Doug at Eastern Front Brewing Company in Mattituck. He said when he gets as many fields planted in hops, barley, etc. as he hopes, his processing would fit into the equivalent of a 2 car garage. A search for hemp led to a discussion with Paulette Satur who has a contract with a hemp company,although it would only be for baby greens, She rents a 40,000 sq.ft. industrial space in Riverhead because they outgrew their 2,000 sq.ft. barn. I remember articles in the Suffolk Times that their operation with diesel powered refrigeration trailers had bothered the neighbors enough to result in picketing and protests.Although her mechanized washing, sorting, and bagging of greens is considered processing by Ag and Markets, it would not be considered processing by the Town of Southold.Why would Southold have a different definition? 1 Other farmers assured me that large factories would never be built because of the economics.With transportation, equipment and land costs, nobody will build anything as big as the new law would allow.Then why does the law include such unrealistic sizes? I asked the Supervisor for one example of a farm processing operation that was denied. He said that North Fork Potato Chips was denied so they had to spend money to build a facility on industrial land. It is a full-fledged factory and this was an appropriate location for it, no matter where their potatoes are grown. It is a great North Fork success story. People have been very generous in conversation however this was a small sample size. Chris Baez expressed frustration because he has been arguing to allow processing in agricultural zones for the past five years. He said he wanted this processing legislation without a"but." My"but"is,the draft regulations were created by one lobbying group talking amongst themselves for years without fully vetting the unintended consequences.Good zoning balances competing needs and changes are based upon research.We have industrial districts and commercial districts that are separate from residential. Manufacturing cannot take place in residential districts,except as a home occupation. For instance, a seamstress can manufacture clothes.A similar relationship should exist between a farm and the ancillary use of processing the farm's products.Again, it is.the scale. If legislation should be rushed through,the size without site-plan review should be 300 sq.ft. and the maximum size for industrial use on a farm should be 1,500 sq.ft. If this is not enough,we need real world examples before opening the barn doors and letting the horse out.

IF ADOPTED THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD ALLOW AGRICULTURAL PROCESSING ON PARCELS THAT QUALIFY AS A BONA FIDE FARM OPERATION. A BUILDING USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PROCESSING WOULD BE LIMITED TO 1.5% OF THE TOTAL SIZE OF THE PARCEL ON WHICH IT IS LOCATED AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL WOULD BE WAIVED FOR BUILDINGS UNDER 3,000 SQUARE FEET. THE AMENDMENT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THAT 66% OF THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS BEING PROCESSED HAVE BEEN GROWN BY THAT BONA FIDE FARM OPERATION.

Small/light uses could get expedited clearance. •All projects should require either water meters for onsite wells or connection to public water.Possibly develop a fund through the CPF to pay for meter costs. •Identify what farmers really need. Consider a carefully sited shared facility to answer these needs,,where appropriate. i •Develop a plan to collectively address by-products and contamination issues.

Chris Baez expressed frustration because he has-been arguing to allow processing in agricultural zones for the past five years. He said he wanted this processing legislation without a"but." My "but" is, the draft regulations were created by one lobbying group talking amongst themselves for years without fully vetting the unintended consequences. Good zoning balances competing needs and changes are based upon research. We have industrial districts and commercial districts that are separate from residential. Manufacturing cannot take place in residential districts, except as a home occupation. For instance, a seamstress can manufacture clothes. A similar relationship should exist between a farm and the ancillary use of processing the farm's products. Again, it is the scale. If legislation should be rushed through, the size without site-plan review should be 300 sq. ft. and the maximum size for industrial use on a farm should be 1,500 sq. ft. If this is not enough, we need real world examples before opening the barn doors and letting the horse out. Thank you, Randy Wade ATTENTION: This email came from an external source.
