Comments regarding resolution 996
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
December 3, 2019 page 25
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Usually when we have a public hearing, if we get substantial
comments,on both sides of the issue, whether it is for or against what the proposal is we table it
for two weeks because we take all opinions seriously. I have not gotten one email or expression
of opposition from anyone. I realize the GSA just submitted one, they haven't offered or
enumerated any reasons why not to adopt it. There's nothing to consider in their opinion and I
would move rather than just table it,to go ahead and adopt it tonight.
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: While we are on that topic, I just want to say thank you to the folks
in the various groups that spoke tonight. I know how much work you folks do,particularly as
volunteers organizations. Plum Island is such a gem and we are so lucky to have it as part of our
town but I know there's been a lot of support and a lot of folks that worked towards saving Plum f
Island and I think I can speak for the Board in saying that we really do appreciate it and
appreciate the support in the work we are doing in keeping Plum Island the way it is, so thank
you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, I want to thank the group, Louise and others who are looking
at, which is a very daunting task, identifying viability for other uses down the road. The GSA,
they haven't enumerated any reasons for their opposition and frankly,they haven't been forceful
in their opposition. They simply submitted a letter in opposition and I think that's a little
shortsighted because any viability, first of all, it's an exercise in futility if the portion on this side
doesn't stay married to the island itself and they are given a pretty substantial asset to sell.
There's no market for an island that's isolated with no access. Also the zoning is perfectly
consistent with its current uses, does not render it preexisting, non-conforming.

December 3, 2019 page 30
from the Nature Conservancy, a letter of support from the Peconic Bay Keeper and I do have a
letter in the file from the GSA which is the United States General Services Administration and
they are writing not to support the proposal. That's all I have.
Supervisor Scott A. Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who would like to address the Town Board on this particular local
law?
Bob DeLuca,President Group for The East End
BOB DELUCA: Good evening Supervisor Russell and members of the Board. Thank you for
the opportunity to speak, my name is Bob DeLuca, I am an East Marion resident and speaking
tonight as President of Group for the East End. I want to thank the Board very much for taking
up this matter, as the Board is well aware (inaudible), looking at the future of Plum Island and
it's possible sale, the Board has shown significant leadership and dedication in trying to make
sure whatever happens to that island preservation is first and foremost in the mind of the Board
as well as what I think you hear from the citizenry, and the issue with this piece of property, the
landside parcel that this MIII would apply to is that it already has zoning on it, the MII zone.
The MII zone could be fairly significantly developed if it were allowed to go into private hands.
One of the things I can tell you, firsthand experience, is that our friends at General Services
Administration, in one of the early meetings, the question arose as to whether Plum Island could
be sold in parts. And the answer was absolutely if we can get a buyer. So you can see the
potential for a buyer who may not even be interested in the main island and not wanting to deal
with that, could set their sights on this parcel which is close to nine acres in a MII zone could
really have significant development application come before the Board. So the Board is taking
affirmative action, which I think is necessary here, to assure that that parcel continues on in the
purpose that it currently has which is to get people to the island and to get materials to and from
that island and that is it. so from our standpoint, it couldn't be a better decision for the future, no
matter what happens out there and it assures that while the larger island is sort of being debated,
that this piece of property doesn't kind of slip through the cracks and you end up with somebody
coming in with a major development that first of all nobody would want but secondly, the
infrastructure in that area could never support the amount of water consumption, the traffic
generation, the electricity use and garbage you know, coming out from a property like that. I just
think of like Danforth's in Port Jefferson, that's probably on a piece of property that's smaller
than this and you can imagine if someone were to come in and say hey, we would love to do this
out here and we know the adjacent property was recently purchased by somebody probably
looking to do some expansion there. so, in any case, I just want to say thank you. on behalf of
the Group we support you, as an East Marion resident, I support you and I wish you continued
good work and I love your efforts to try to preserve and protect Plum Island. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Please.
Louise Harris,NY Coord Save the Sound
LOUISE HARRISON: Good evening Supervisor and members of the Town Board. Thank you
very much. I am Louise Harrison, I am the New York Natural Areas coordinator for Save the
Sound. Save the Sound with 19,000 members has been working for over 40 years to protect and
improve endangered lands and waters of Long Island Sound. We lead the Preserve Plum Island
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
December 3, 2019 page 31
coalition which has 109 organizational members. Thanks for holding this hearing tonight. We
do endorse the creation of the new Marine III or MIII district in Southold's code. We support the
dedication of a parcel within the town for the express purpose of providing a waterfront location
in the portion of the town located on Long Island for ferry service to and from Plum Island.
There's a document called `Alternatives for Final Disposition of Plum Island', here it is, it looks
like this. It is written by the US Department of Homeland Security in 2016 and on page 25 there
is a paragraph that I felt worth noting, the heading is Synergistic Relationship between Plum
Island and the Orient Point facility, the title of the paragraph says it all, the close proximity and
multiple amenities of the Orient Point facility make it an ideal gateway to Plum Island for the
transport of personnel, vehicles, equipment and supplies. The ample parking, indoor and outdoor
storage areas and administration building complement the harbor operation and can support a
broad range of activity and uses on Plum Island. The continued relationship between Plum
Island and the Orient Point facility would benefit any alternative for the final disposition of the
property. And by the property they are referring to Plum Island itself and the personal property
that is currently slated for public sale. And it's a vital link to those interested in the future reuse
of the existing buildings and infrastructure on the property. There likely would be significant
adverse impact on the value and utility of Plum Island if rights of access to and use of the Orient
Point facility are not included in the future conveyance documents. AS you know, Save the
Sound and the Nature Conservancy have been undertaking an envision file and process over the
last year. We have engaged a broad array of stakeholders and are close to finalizing a vision and
reuse strategy for Plum Island. In this upcoming document, we will be promoting the future
conveyance of the current Orient Point ferry facility along with Plum Island R district, the
research district, at the very least to assure future access to the island. That would be in the case
if the federal government did parcel out pieces of Plum Island and only sold for instance, the
research district. We agree with the Town's vision reflected in the proposed MIII district of
accessory uses related to the primary permitted use as a ferry terminal for ferry service to and
from Plum Island only. Now, through the envision process, we also developed a concept of a
parcel zoned the proposed MIII that could provide a small Plum Island museum that could also
serve as an assembly area or a visitors center for people going to Plum Island. We hope that you
will pass the legislation creating this new district and then will apply this zoning to the parcel in
Orient Point now serving as the Plum Island Center which as you know the federal government
currently plans to sell at a public auction. We all are continuing our efforts to move Congress to
pass legislation that will remove the current requirement to dispose of Plum Island at a public
sale or auction. Our upcoming report will present a unified stakeholders vision for the future of
Plum Island and a variety of options to convey Plum Island into beneficial reuse, assuming that
the public sale requirement is lifted. Our vision for future reuse of the ferry parcel conforms with
the Town's proposed MIII district. Thank you for your vigorous participation in the envision
Plum Island process and your foresight in creating this new MIII category. I have copies, I will
bring up but I also have a very short letter from the North Fork Environmental Council that I
would like to read, they could not attend tonight. `The North Fork Environmental Council and
its members support the creation of a Marine III district. The NFEC serves on the steering
committee for the Plum Island Preservation Coalition and we commend Southold Town for
proposing legislation that would restrict uses at the Plum Island Ferry Terminal in Orient Point to
transportation related services specifically to and from Plum Island while allowing for several
accessory uses such as administrative offices, a snack bar and visitor center/museum on the
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
December 3, 2019 page 32
property. These efforts will certainly help in the preservation of Plum Island's diverse natural
and historical resources along with critical wildlife habitat. The NFEC has been advocating for
the conservation of natural resources on the North Fork since 1972.' Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
Albert Krupski, Cutchogue
ALBERT KRUPSKI: Good evening, Albert Krupski, Cutchogue. I just want to thank the
Supervisor and Town Board for taking these steps. These steps are going to ensure that the
Town is protected, our quality of life is protected. That the island will always have access,
reasonable access from Orient but we won't be able to develop there and there won't be a specter
of over-development there. I read the code, I think it's very well written. It's simple, it's to the
point, I think it's going to be very effective so thank you for considering this and working hard
on it.
Gwynn Schroeder
GWYNN SCHROEDER: Hi, my name is Gwynn Schroeder representing the North Fork
Audubon Society and the Board of Directors and I want to say that we are in full support of the
MIII zoning district. It's a critical and proactive necessary first step to make sure that the access
to the island is maintained and (inaudible) regardless of how Plum Island is ultimately, how the
disposition of the island turns out. And we thank you for this, we support it fully. I echo Bob's
and Louise's comments and thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board?
Please.
Venetia Hands, Orient Association
VENETIA HANDS: Good evening, Supervisor Russell and Town Board members. I am here
representing the Orient Association and its (inaudible) members and there are at least four other
Board members in the room this evening and several others in spirit to echo what you are
hearing, it must be wonderful to just be hearing support. But we are, you know, Orient is the
area that you are talking about and it's very fragile down there, it's very small. We've had all
sorts of issues around the parking of ferries and traffics as you know. And when you have the
foresight to zone Plum Island itself the way that you have, I think this was originally in there and
then it got cut out and separated and we have been concerned ever since that, that we need to do
something here. So I am just going to echo what you have been hearing from the other speakers
in saying that we support this Marine III law and very much hope it can be passed and then put
into effect on that piece of property. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board on this
particular local law?

Southold Town Board Regular Meeting

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board?
Mark Wooley, District Director for Congressman Lee Zeldin
MARK WOOLEY: Good evening members of the Town Board. I am Mark Wooley, district
director for Congressman Lee Zeldin. It is a distinct honor to be here tonight before you as you
continue on with your vision for Plum Island, you had that vision to recommend zoning for the
Island and we see again you have taken appropriate steps to do so here. We wholeheartedly
support local control, whether it's Southold or some other municipality but with Southold you
seem to get it right and from what we have seen here, it looks like you are on the path to getting
it right with Plum Island. We don't, at the congressional level, want this sold as you know. We
don't intend to have this sold, we are going to continue fighting so it doesn't get sold and you are
able to preserve this beautiful land. I was just there November 4, the day before Election Day,
and I got to spend the day there outside with the security and again, I got to see just how
beautiful Plum Island is. I live here on the North Fork, originally from Riverhead so it's not
something that's strange to me but it's always when you go there, it's always like it's new and
when you leave it's like you don't want to leave. I look forward to going there this spring to
continue with that drill and hope we have better news to report as far as work being done on the
lighthouse which we were able to get. So we aren't looking to have it sold. Whether GSA says
they don't support this, it's no surprise. There's not much they do support regarding Plum
Island. But the Congressman doesn't believe the GSA is right in what they are looking to do
here. We are fortunate that we are working with members in the Senate, particularly Senator
Gillibrand, she has got legislation that we have been able to get through in the house for the past
five years. Hopefully we can get the Senator's legislation passed, so that we don't have to
continue to come back and have this discussion, we can look forward with enjoying the uses that
are being discussed with Envision Plum Island, as far as the future of Plum Island. So our word
here from the Congressman is local control. We believe in local control and we believe you are
right so far, so we support what you are trying to do here this evening. So,thank you.

The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter
260,Vehicles and Traffic, in connection with Traffic and Pedestrian Safety" reads as
follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2019
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to an Amendment to Chapter 260,Vehicles
and Traffic, in connection with Traffic and Pedestrian Safety".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. Purpose.
The purpose of this local law is to improve safety for pedestrians and vehicles, as well as
dealing with impacts to the public's health, safety and welfare.
II. Chapter 260 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
Article II One-Way Streets and No U-Turn Areas
4260-3.1 No U-Turn Areas.
The following streets or parts of streets are hereby designated as No U-Turn Areas,
vehicles shall proceed only in permitted directions indicated, and No U-Turn signs shall

Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
December 3, 2019 page 35
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided
by law.
I have a notarized affidavit that this hearing had been advertised by the Town Clerk's office and
the same for the Suffolk Times. That's all I have.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I was hoping for a dozen or so folks to step up.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I will take you up on your offer, Mr. Supervisor. This has been
discussed off and on by the Transportation Commission on several occasions where it has been
brought up and as you well know, the last, the final recommendation from the Transportation
Commission to the Town Board was their unanimous support that it was time that this law be
enacted. There have been several, in this year, there have been several near misses of
pedestrians and vehicles mounting the sidewalk and making U-turns and people have had to dive
out of the way. It's just not acceptable. I think that the Chief of Police will be satisfied now that
there's something ironclad to enforce that he will cooperate and we will get people to understand
that this is an activity that we will not tolerate on Love Lane or in any of our streets where they
are marked. I also would like to say that as you know, the Superintendent of Highways will be
in charge of putting up the signage and some very simple recommendations have come from the
Transportation commission as well and that is that there is no reason or, I want to say that some
people; have expressed concern that,.oh, no, more signs but I think that with a little bit of
forethought one signpost can share more than one sign and they can be properly placed so they
are plainly in view and enforceable and I would hope that you as my colleagues would support as
I certainly do plan to.
Closinlz Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That concludes the agenda. Would anyone like to address the Town
Board on any issue?
Louise Harris, Preserve Plum Is. Steering Comm
LOUISE HARRISON: First of all, thank you very much. That was wonderful and on behalf of
the Preserve Plum Island Coalition Steering Committee that met today, we are very pleased and
we are also excited that we will have a chance to meet with the Supervisor on Friday with our
draft vision for Plum Island and reuse strategy. So I just wanted to let you know what's coming.
we have gone over this strategy with our Preserve Plum Island Steering Committee today, they
will have chances over the next 24 hours to give any further comments and we'll be getting it to
some kind of readable shape and then get it to the Supervisor and then whatever staff you want to
bring on this, hopefully by Thursday morning at the latest. And after we meet with you, we will
be folding in comments from the town to a version that we will be presenting on the 10th to the
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
December 3, 2019 page 36
executive chamber of the governor's office, at their request. So it is hopeful that New York State
is showing interest in the future of Plum Island and is asking us to come forward with this reuse
strategy and vision. As a reminder, this whole thing came out of congress pushing us to come up
with something like this in order to present the rationale for them to move in the ways they need
to, to repeal the legislation that is on the books, calling for a public sale of Plum Island assets.
So we, that is our plan, to go back to congress now with this report and plan and to the general
public. So everybody is going to get a chance to see this sequence that we are going through and
probably next summertime, sometime we will have an Envision Plum Island update workshop
for people. We have our consulting firm, has a lot of expertise in helping to move federal
properties into other uses and they know the ins and outs of working with the GSA and the
various agencies, so they have been guiding us and a good deal of the document that we will be
producing is a strategy has their input and we (inaudible) at this point, depending on the
feedback we get we will be revising and making something that's as viable as possible and as
convincing as possible. So, I just wanted to bring you up to date on that and look forward to
your further input but this was really the important part of the puzzle and it's already
incorporated into our vision, so we are married on that one already. So thank you very much.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board on any
issue? The Assessor's office, the three Assessor's will be having a forum for seniors who want
