9:45 A.M. - Donald Bracken and Dia~ne Carroll, developers of the. Cedarfields
affordable housng project, Greenport, appeared before the Town Board to request
that the remaining four unsold houses be exempted from the guidelines for affordable
housing to enable them to attract a wider range of potential buyers. The units have
been vacant for the past six months and they would like to sell at the same price,
but to anyone who can afford to pay, as the costs for holding the vacant units has
become a burden to them. They have placed many newspaper ads, End more are
coming out this week. The Board advised they would be unwilling to extend a
blanket exemption, but would consider each applicant for a house on a case-by-case.
basis;
10:30 A.M. - For Discussion Items: (1) Notification from the Building Department
that the buildings that have been declared unsafe, and a hearing held, with respect
to the Stimpson-Larson premises, R-ocky Point Road, East Marion, have not been
removed in accordance with the decision of the Town Board. A demolition permit
as applied for on July. 23rd, but has not been returned for a permit. In a
discussion with Principal Building Inspector Lessard at 3:30 P.M., it was determined
that the permit has been secured, but the buildings have not bee removed. It is
now at a point where the Town Attorney must take legal action against the property
owners. '(2) Discussion by the Town Attorney with respect to a complaint by Mr.
Ted Klos and Mr. Andre Moraillon, neighbors of Arthur Carlson, at Akerly Pond
Lane, Southold. Mr. Carlson is presently before the Board of Appeals concerning
his seafood business operation at Lower Road. Mr. Klos and Mr. M0raillon (who were
in the audience at this time) are concerned that Mr. Carlson's operation will
sanctioned throUgh the recent enactment of the Home Occupation Law. Town
Attorney Arnoff made it .clear that this is not the case and he will not be able to
"boot-strap" hi's operation to the new legislation. The Town Board reaffirmed their.
policy and concurred with Town Attorney Arnoff. (3) Proposed Local Law
prohibiting parking within 500 feet without a Town parking permit at Sound 'Road,
G reenport and Rocky Point Road, East Marion ( see resolution no. 16 ).
Superintendent of Highways Jacobs explained the severe problems caused 'by
transients in this area and urged the Town Board to proceed with the legislation
as soon as possible. (4) Justice Edwards brought to the Board's attention the
metal dump on Town property on Fishe'rs Island. Superintendent of Highways Jacobs
offered to research the cost to remove the metal from the Island. Justice Edwards~
also brought to the Board's 'attention the need to repair'the chain link fence around
the tennis court which was built with Town funds on the Fishers Island School
property. The Board'wiil put the necessary funds to replace the fence in the 1992
budget,, and requested the Town Attorney to .work out a lease agreement between
the school and the Town to enable the Town to legally make the improvements. (5)
Proposed "Local Law in Relation to Hotel or Motel Uses" was placed on. the agenda
for a public hearing or~ August 13th (see resolution no. 17). (6) Request from
William Zoldessy for a refund of the fee he paid for a beach parking permit, as he
does not use Town beaches and would like to purchase a Mattituck Park District
permit (see resolution no. 18). The Town Board also put resolution no. 19 on the
agenda, ordering that beach parkino permits are no longer refundable under any
circumstances. (7) Letter from D;~ Richard A. Hall request the refund of the
building permit fee he paid in January, 1990. After speaking to Principal Building
Inspector Lessard at 3:30 P.M., the Town Board determined that the fee would not
be refunded, and the Town Attorney would respond to Dr. Hall. (8) Creation of
the position of Director of Program Evaluation was discussed during Executive
S¢C~sion at 11:55 A.M., and resolution no. 21 to create the position and set the
sa~l~f was placed on the agenda. The position will be posted in accordance with
CSEA requirements. (9) Memorandum from the Conservation Advisory Council
advising that due to the dramatic decline in the time spent on wetland applications,
they are going to try to produce background papers and possible position papers
on (1) comprehensive dredging policy, (2) Swans and what should be done with
them, (3) Goose Creek - runoff and bacteria data, (4) Pumpout stations, (5) Cesspool
sites and leakage, (6) review of past environmental projects, and (7) carrying
capacity of creeks in relation to number of boats. The Town Board expressed their
approval for these very important and needed studies. (10) Town Attorney Arnoff
brought to the Town Board's attention' the need for a policy with respect to the
types of acceptable performance bonds. Recently savings/money market passbooks
have been submitted in the name of the developer, which the Town Attorney finds
are totally unacceptable. The Board placed resolution no. 20 on the agenda setting
the policy that only letters of credit, cash, or a performance bond from a recognized
bonding company will be acceptable. (11) Town Attorney Arnoff asked the Board
for their feelings with respect to accepting dedication of Hummel Pond and the
surrounding land should two subdivision~ be merged and the remainder of the land
clustered. The Board agreed, provided:'there will be no problem with drainage from
the lots to be built upon. Superintendent of Highways Jacobs and Engineering
Inspector Richter will research the layout to make this determination.

at this time.

risk to his own life and welfare; and

calling for help. OFFICER GRALTON went into the frigid pond, swam out to the
frightened man, and pulled him back to the safety of the beach, permitting immediate
resuscition efforts.to commence, which~ saved the life of the man, Samuel "Ray"
White of Greenport. OFFICER GRALTON'S quick action and proper response,
and his willingness to enter the water at risk to himself, aided in the successful
efforts to save the life of Mr. White, and

of a life and are a tribute to his devotion and skill as a Police Officer of the Town

which you hold at this time. At this time, I'd like to present you with this
proclamation, and the Chief, Stanley Droskoski also has a proclamation, that he'd
like to read at this time.
CHIEF DROSKOSKI: I have a brief statement of the actions, that Officer Gralton
took on the day the incident occurred. On April 16, 1991, at about 1:58 P.M.,
Headquarters received a 911 Emergency call reporting that there was overturned
boat at Great Pond, and the man was in the water shouting for help. When the
call was dispatched Police Officer Thomas Gralton was patrolling in the area, and
he immediately responded to the scene. He could see the overturned boat, and
the man in the water, in distress. Without hesitation, Officer Gralton went into
the water, swam out to the man, pulled him back to the beach, where he was then
assisted by members of Southold Fire Department Rescue Squad in getting the victim
out of the water. The man, who's life Officer Gralton saved is Samuel Ray White
in Greenport. Mr. White was treated at the scene for cold water exposure, and
exhaustion, and taken to Eastern Long Island Hospital, and treated. Officer Gralton
was also treated at the scene for cold water exposure, and exhaustion, and taken
to Eastern Long Island Hospital, also, where he remained for several days. His
responsive action at the risk of his own life resulted in the saving of another man's
life. Therefore, Officer Gralton is recognized, and commended by virtue of a life-
saving bar for his rescue and lifesaving actions. Officer Gralton is certainly a
credit to the Department and Southold Town. Officer Gralton, congratulations.

JULY 30, 1991

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, are there any members of the audience that
would like to discuss any matter with this Board, that they feel may be pertinent
or informatiQnalto this body? Would you state your name, please, sir?
WILLIAM ZOLDESSY: My name is William Zoldessy, and I live on Bergen Avenue
in Mattituck, and I thank you very much for the refund. First I'll say as such
the refund is immaterial. What I'm trying to prove is a point. At the beginning
of the year I went down to the Hall. I got my beach and garbage permit, and a
Southold beach permit. After a few weeks, upon presenting my Mrs. and myself
at the Mattituck beach, where I live, I was denied access. I was told to get a Matti~.uck
beach permit. Whereas, I found out from the office down the hall when the Mattituck
Park Commission was meeting. Presented myself there, and they said a wrongful
thing had taken place, because I was not notified at the time, that I would in the
future have to get a Mattituck pass, and this wasn't worth two cents to me. That
you gave me back my $5.00, I proved my point. In order to further correct this
issue, I think I should be given for the rest of the season, authorization to present
myself at the Mattituck beach, because up to now I've been illegally, immorally,
and unlawfully denied access to the beach.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Let me just elaborate a little bit on this. We have no prior
knowledge of any park district within the Town of Southold, that is charging a
fee for the use of that property. This Board is not privy to that, as it's a separate
district, separate set of commissioners, that rule, and, also, tax basically the
residents of that area. Our permits are for Town facilities, that we issue. We
have no prior knowledge to what any district is doing beyond that. We were glad
to refund this money because obviously you live in a park district area, and use
that facility, not a Town owned facility, so we were glad to refund that money.
As far as the further use of that facility up there, that's a park district matter.
I assume you're talking about that piece of property, which we have absolutely
no control over. There are a set of elected Commissioners, and I would suggest
that you talk to them in reference to your request.
WILLIAM ZOLDESSY: Thank you very much. Thank you all.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Is there any other members of the audience, that would
like to address anything that they feel may important to us to be involved in, or
to be informed about? (No response.) Councilman Wickham?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I have just one comment. You may have seen in the
papers last week that the Town of Southold is advertising for volunteers to assist
at the Cutchogue Landfill to explain to people the ins and outs, and details of
sort, separation of their waste materials, and the recycling program. We are
trying to attain the highest percentage possible in pursuit to our Solid Waste
Management Plan. We are anxious to acheive very high rates of recycling, so
we're looking for volunteers, who would like to help educate and explain the
program to the various users of the Cutchogue Landfill, and I'm just mentioning
this, so if you know of people who would like to do that through the summer months
there is a procedure, and the applications will be received at the Town Clerk's
Office. Thank you. Up until August 7th?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Two weeks from last Thursday. I know that.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Councilman Wickham, thank you. Any other member of
Board? (No response.) I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilman Penny, seconded by Justice Edwards, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board be and hereby is adjourned at 4:40 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson,
Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
