Chairman Wilcenski: I'm sorry but this is being recorded, would you please state your
name for the record?
Southold Town Planning Board Page 115 January 13, 2020
James Danaher: James Danaher, 625 Southern Boulevard, East Marion. The piece of
property just north of ours, on the map is designated as Open Space/Easement. Can
you explain what that is to me, please? 1.
Chairman Wilcenski: Hold on just one second, let-me find the right map. If it says it's
open space, is that purchased by the Town?
Erica Bufkins: No, as part of the subdivision proposal, they're required to have 60% as
open space, so the development is clustered down into that area where the cul-de-sac
is and then all of that open space or open space easement is required to stay open
space, or undeveloped.
James Danaher: So the owner of the nine plus acres owns that but....
Erica Bufkins: They're not allowed to develop on it, exactly.
James Danaher: Not- it can't be developed sold or subdivided? Redeveloped?
Erica Bufkins: No, it's incorporated into each of those lots so, technically, it's a part of
lot one, two and three, but then that easement area is specifically designated for open
space.
Beth Dzenskowski: So it's owned then by the Town?
Erica Bufkins: No, it's owned by the applicant.
Chairman Wilcenski: That was my mistake.
Beth Dzenskowski: Oh, okay.
James Danaher: Two other questions: Is there any other access to that proposed
development? Other than circle drive?
Erica Bufkins: No.
James Danaher: And, the last one is: what is the water source going to be for this
development?
Erica Bufkins: There is going to be public water servicing that area.
Beth Dzenskowski: They're having public water brought up? (inaudible)
Erica Bufkins: I have to check on the map to see exactly where the water line runs to.
There's no extension of the water line proposed as part of the application.
Southold Town Planning Board Page 116 January 13, 2020
Beth Dzenskowski: So it will be well water then, not public water?
Erica Bufkins: I have to check on my map, which is not in front of me.
Chairman Wilcenski: We can get that that information to you.
Beth Dzenskowski: It was just my understanding from other subdivision that was
made and required on Stars Road which is almost adjoining. Were the subdivision to be
approved, the owner was required to provide public water access to that additional
piece of property and residents at their expense.
Chairman Wilcenski: I'm not familiar with the Stars Road application.
Beth Dzenskowski: That's not—to your knowledge — a county requirement in new
subdivisions?
Chairman Wilcenski: My thinking — it's based on the availability of where the water
mains are, but I'm not 100% sure. I can't...
Heather Lanza: It's early in the review process and we don't know yet. I think they're
proposing well water but that would have to get approved by Suffolk County, so they're
either going to be required to put public water in or they'll be approved for wells. So it's
unclear.
Beth Dzenskowski: So the county will make that approval?
Heather Lanza: Yes.
James Danaher: And if it — being that public water is required —who pays for that?
Chairman Wilcenski: Typically the owner would, but that, again, that's,speculation but
typically the owner would take on the expense to bring the water main to where he
needs it— to the lots.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Board on
Pederson Standard Subdivision?
Barbara Horing: Barbara Horing, 505 southern Boulevard, East Marion. The lot —what
is the size `of the largest lot that's going to be built on?
Chairman Wilcenski: The largest lot is, lot 1 is 5.1 acres. Lot 2 is 2-.3 acres and Lot 3
is 1.8 acres.
Southold Town Planning Board Page 117 January 13, 2020
Barbara Horinq: Ok, my question is: on the 5 acre lot, say the person buys this piece
of property from the builder, is he ever in the near future— should he sell- will that lot be
allowed to be broken down into different acre size lots?
Chairman Wilcenski: No, at this point, no.
Barbara Horinq: At this point? `
Heather Lanza: No, never.
Chairman Wilcenski: Never, this is finalizing the subdivision.
Barbara Horinq: Okay, so it'll just be those three houses?
Chairman Wilcenski: Yes.
Barbara Horinq: Okay, thank you.

Meredith Dovan: You can sit right here, we have a little chair that we're going to use

Ken Edwards: Mr. Chairman and members of the board, Ken Edwards, year-round
resident from Fishers Island. I just have two comments on this site plan; I realize that's
what you're addressing tonight. One: I'd love to see the applicant put a couple stake's in
the ground where this building's going to be, I went down with the small site plan I
copied down off of the internet and I know roughly where the area is but I think it would
be a lot beneficial for other people if they put a couple of stakes in the ground where
this building is going to be. And my other thing is that this hearing's being held on
January 13th, 80% of the people that live on the island aren't here and probably half of
them don't even know about this, I would request or suggest that the board keep the
hearing open to give other people a change to have some input on this. Thank you, it's
great to see a couple of familiar faces over there.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you, Ken.
Bob Evans: Bob Evans, year-round resident. My understanding is the site is within an '
R-400 zoning area. Can you tell me how that issue's being reconciled with the use?
Chairman Wilcenski: The building is being built— our head building inspector says that
a pre-existing, non-conforming use to the air strip.
(Inaudible)
Pierce Rafferty: Bob, because the airport was preexisting as a military airport before
any zoning was applied to this area, and then it was taken over after the sale of the
property by the government in the late 50's and went to the Town and then the Town
appointed the Ferry as manager of the property. When this came —,the subject of the
I
Southold Town Planning Board Page 120 January 13, 2020
zoning doesn't apply to it because essentially it's accessory to a pre-existing, non-
conforming use and there's probably nothing at. That was the determination made by
the Town inspector and that's what came to us. That is where we stand right not.
Bob Evans: So then, can you explain why the R-400 zoning was imposed on it in the
first place?
Chairman Wilcenski: I cannot.
Pierce Rafferty: That's way outside the purview of anybody here. We don't know the
history of how that ended all up being R-400, but I think it is important to note that this
issue does not trigger development all through the 198 or 178 acre parcel. This decision
on the pre-existing, non-conforming use relates to a building that's at the airport, it
doesn't relate to other structures on other parts of this parcel.
Bob Evans: So will zoning ever be entertained by a board other than the Planning
Board, or is it a foregone conclusion that it's been reconciled and things can move
forward?
Chairman Wilcenski: That's a Town Board question, that's something that we can't
answer.
Bob Evans: Thank you very much.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you.
Meredith-Dovan: Is that it? I think that's everybody from our half.
Chairman Wilcenski: That's it? Do you have any questions?
Meredith Dovan: That's it.

Chairman Wilcenski: 6:05 p.m. - George Penny Contractors Yard Amended — This
amended site plan is for a proposed contractors yard including eight (8) existing
buildings totaling 24,634 sq. ft. on 2.68 acres in the LI Zoning District. The property is
located at 67480 Route 25, Greenport. SCTM#1000-53-2-27.2
Chairman Wilcenski: At this time if anyone would like to address the board, please
step to the podiums, write and state your name for the record. Please be sure to direct
all of your comments to the Board.
Laura Yantsos: May I? My name is Laura Yantsos, I live at Bayshore Road, Greenport
NY. That is a road that goes out into the intersection of Kerwin Boulevard and Route
25, I'm also the president of the Peconic Bay Property Owners Association, tonight I've
been nominated to speak to you, if I don't say everything that my association wants me
to, our members are here and I hope you'll indulge us and allow one of them to fill in
where anything I've missed. Please correct me if I'm inaccurate in relating the facts but
the facts as I know them is that the Planning Board is reviewing this property for the
purpose of rezoning the are from Light Industrial to a contractors yard because I don't
see any building going on here, whatever is on this site plan already exists and has
existed for some years. I'm very familiar with the area; I've lived in the area since the
early 50's. You'll notice so there's virtually nothing being added to this property, the
plans as laid out is what's existed so what's the reason for the rezoning? I've asked
myself this question, he dies not wish to change the property in any way, there are no
new buildings, planned under or constructed, what's there is what's existed. It would
seem to me that what he hopes to do is to stop the many violations that he has
received over the years and the many complaints that have been made about this
property over many years. He wants to turn our complains into words just blown away
by the wind but we have — I have handed Heather today several letters that I've written
to the Supervisor and the supervisors office told me that he sent them over to the
Planning Board. One is dated July 11, the second is dated September 26th, the third is
a November date — I'm not exactly sure when — and the fourth is an email dated
November 18th 2019. Can I establish that you've received them?
Jessica Michaelis: Yes.
Laura Yantsos: I —we've had many complaints over the years about what's going on. I
looked at the site plan, I saw that it looked like very few businesses going on there but
that's not true. As a matter of fact, the last couple days I went by there, it looks like they
cleaned up the place a little, so I don't know if you people paid a visit there or what, but
it's not the condition it's been in for many years. The one tenant, Lighthouse Marine,
has been running about 12 businesses — and I spell that out—what those businesses
Southold Town Planning Board Page 122 January 13, 2020
are in my letter of September 26th: a U-Haul business, storage container and modular
building rental business, an awning and sign business, a boat storage business, a boat
repair business, a retail marine supply business, a gas and diesel service for outboard
motors, a boaters safety school and retail sale of fish bait and tackle. And then their
other tenants, who are engaged in one business, I think there's an art store there,
there's a gravel store, but the property is shaped like a horseshoe and the "U" of the
horse shoe wraps around a residential property because there are two residential
houses at the end of this road so I don't know what the misery of that person is, but I do
know in reviewing the history that these residential properties did some years ago move
to rezone the area from Light Industrial to Residential but they were — I don't know what
happened to that but they are now surrounded by asphalt pits. So he wants to change it
to a contractors yard and uh- but we have the problems we've had there is because of
the many businesses that have been run out of that one little parcel that he's renting
out, Lighthouse Marine, there's about 10 businesses running out of there. there's —
every time boats will be pulled out, they pull out onto Kerwin Boulevard and you can't
go anywhere — in other words, they're stopped, they have to move these boats and then
move them back in because there's so many in there; there's so many U-Haul trucks,
there's no parking aisles for a U-Haul truck to drive down, they have to move all the U-
Haul trucks out in order to get the one that they want. So there's — oh, with their boat
business, there's — during the end of the season — somebody wrote to me by email and
told me that they are using these chemicals and are not using a filter and the chemicals
are spilling onto the roadway and they took pictures, which I've given you, and the
person that observed this is in the boat business so he knows what should be done and
he knows that a filter should be used and it's not being used. The — everything is —this
dumpster is overflowing constantly, I mean, as I said, they cleaned it up the last couple
of days, so the place looked good. And the traffic is being blocked because these giant
boats are all the way to the corner of Route 25, so anyone coming from Route 25 onto
Kerwin Boulevard could have an accident as well as the people coming out from Kerwin
Boulevard onto Route 25. You know, we have no other egress except to go on this way-
to go to this intersection and what we proposed to the Supervisor— and I don't know if
you can help us with this - is to limit the number of business that can be run out of this
property; to reconstruct the driveway on Kerwin Boulevard so that all these boats and
U-Haul trucks don't come out and everybody has to stand still for a half-hour, to limit the
number of vehicles that can be parked or stored on the lot and removing the U-Haul
trucks all together screening the west side of Kerwin Boulevard with some kind of
hedges that the deer don't eat — to block this sloppy, ugly mess that is on the corner
and to provide — maybe to insist that there be a setback from Route 25 so that we can
see the traffic and to force him to cover those dumpsters. That's all.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, thank you. Please be sure to write your name for the
record. Would anybody else like to address the Board?
George Penny: Good Evening, my name is George Penny. I have operated that
property, my family has operated that property since 1961 as a lumber yard. We had
Southold Town Planning Board Page 123 January 13, 2020
the lumber yard sold, we had the property sold, I had a 10-year lease with an outfit
called Marjam; at the end — or in the middle of the lease, Marjam, they decided that
they were going to consolidate because the economy was terrible, they moved most of
the lumber yard operation to Mattituck where they continued to operate out of there.
Then eventually, instead of purchasing the property, although they had an option to
purchase, they reneged. But in the meantime, they managed to lease out to a bunch of
different buildings to a bunch of different people, some with the blessing of the Town.
When I took over the property once again, which was probably about 2 and a half years
ago, I received a notice of violation from the Town, which, surprised me because I didn't
realize that anything that was going on down there wasn't permitted and so the Town
suggested to me that — although I used these buildings since 1961, some of them newly
acquired which was the old (inaudible) fish market, the Chi-Chi house, Dan's country
kitchen and a lot in the middle somewhere from a Raven Addison, was a cabinet
maker. So I basically— over the period of time that I was down there from 1968,
doubled the size of the lumber yard. When Marjam did what they did, and then moved
out, I had to come and deal with the Town, well the Town has suggested that although
we have used that property since 1961, basically, for storage of materials, that I could
not lease it out to individuals to do basically the same thing, most of the people in there
were small craftsmen or a couple of woodworking guys, the guys was a firehouse pizza
truck running the big building in the back, Chi-Chi house, which is the one that's
blocked off there, that was, at one point, owned by my son and he took that and sold it
to Marjam at some point in time. That was the only thing that they managed to buy and
sold that to somebody else, so we have no control over that anymore. So the Town said
to me, you know, if you want to operate legally, what you have to do is you've got to go
and become something else, which I have no difficulty in doing, although I had a filed
up-to-date site plan from 2001 as a lumber yard, I'm following the guidelines that the
Town attorneys have given me to do this. We have screened property at different times,
when we did out 2003 site plan on Kerwin Boulevard, people came in from the
association, they spoke to — I believe it was Supervisor Wickham at the time — and we
put those tall cedar trees along the back there which blocked the asphalt storage area.
Although, in doing so, it did violate some fire codes, unfortunately, which the Town
decided to waive for some reason or another— I have no idea why- but I did because it
was requested of me. I'm not fully aware of everything that has gone down there or how
it developed, I understand that they guy on the corner with the boats and all has got a
bit of a problem because they don't want retail, but any other activity he's done there —
to my knowledge — have been legal but from what I understand, when this is all said an
done, he's going to have to cease retail activity there. But that's the only thing that I'm
here for. Charlie Cuddy, my attorney, unfortunately, couldn't make it this evening. I'm
sure if the Board has any questions that they want to address regarding this project,
here I am. Thank you
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you I just want to make a notation on something that you
said, this isn't an application on a Change of Zone, it is an LI zoned parcel and that's
why the contractors yard is a use in the LI zone —just to be clear.
Southold Town Planning Board Page 124 January 13, 2020
Laura Yantsos: Laura Yantsos, Bayshore Road, Greenport NY. First of all- I've been
here since the 50's and yes, there was a lumber yard down there — and this is a big
piece of property— it's 2.8 acres, and the lumber yard wasn't exactly on the corner and
there was an ice cream parlor, Cal's Custard and Anne's Country Kitchen was there
and that was it, there was nothing else there and uh — now, with the art shop and the
gravel and what's going on in that parcel with Lighthouse Marine, is at least — I went
down there — I looked at all of the businesses, I took pictures of them all, all the signs
up, all the business going on down there, I mean it's ridiculous! You'll have to see the
place, it's sloppy, it looks terrible and it's got to be —we don't want to see it. You know,
and the dangers that it imposes because of the giant boats, I mean there very tall and
they're all the way to the corner. If he didn't have the U-Haul trucks there, he could
move them back. Thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Anybody else? Yes, sir?
Fred Salzberq: My name is Fred Salzberg, I live on Kerwin Boulevard in the area
known as August Acres and, I guess my issue is not (inaudible) with that Penny wants
to do but with the current business operating at Lighthouse Marine. We've been away
and we just got to take one picture which I would like to bring up to the Board to show
the safety problem with the way the boats are currently stored there.
Chairman Wilcenski: Sure, you can bring that up.
Fred Salzberq: The issue, very simply, is that with those boats coming out of Kerwin
Boulevard onto the main road, you cannot see the traffic coming over the bridge
property. You're pulling out almost into the road just to see it. I know that just the other
day I was coming out and I wanted to make a left-hand turn so I stuck the nose of the
car practically onto the Main Road pavement to see up the hill, saw that "Oh, when this
next car passes, I'm going to be clear" and at the very last minute notice, there was a
car coming west on the Main Road looking a turn — a left turn onto Kerwin Boulevard.
Luckily I saw him in time before I stepped on the gas and hit him, but this is a
continuing issue with Lighthouse Marine. The boats are stored to the corner, right now
they've moved some things around so you don't see the largest boat now all the way
shoved to the corner but the fact is it's a basic safety issue if nothing else. Its's difficult
to see to come out the road, it's dangerous and it's been going on, I guess since they, I
guess since the end of the year— sorry — boating season and they really started putting
a lot of boats there. It was difficult enough when some of the U-Haul trucks were there
but that was a parking lot,so I guess the U-Haul trucks could legally be there, you just
had to stick your nose out almost onto the main road pavement to see up the hill. With
the boats, it's far worse and they just don't seem to care, they move boats around and I
agree with Ms. Yantsos, with Laura, that when they move boats onto the property
further back, they're coming out onto Kerwin Boulevard just blocking the road, you can't
get by, and so I don't know whether it's a conforming or non-conforming business, but it
Southold Town Planning Board Page 125 January 13, 2020
is certainly a problem and a safety problem for everybody who lives in that area and
who needs the access out to the main road. Thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Okay, thank you, Sir. Would anybody else like to address the
Board? Yes, you can step to the podium on this side.
Diana Voelkr: My name is Diana Voelker, I live on August Lane in August Acres. I just
have a question about that corner of Kerwin and 25. It appears in the site plan, I can't
really see that corner, but I see here on this map, I believe that those boats are in the
state right of way and they're dangerous. You really can't see when you go to turn, I've
had to stop behind boats and U-Hauls before I could go and if there had been a fire or
an ambulance that needed to get by there — it wouldn't happen. That's the only way in
and out of where I live and I don't know about you but I'm not happy with it being
blocked whenever the business —the marine business especially—feels like moving a
U-Haul or a truck or a boat and the people who are bringing the things there, they're
only bringing the things there, they're not paying attention to "Is this the only road in and
out of this development?" or "Am I leaving this truck where it's supposed to be?"
because they've been parallel parked on Kerwin, they've been left in the middle of the
road on Kerwin, so I really think that somebody needs to go out there and take a really
good look at that place at different times of the day and evening. But I'm really
concerned about that corner; can you confirm to me that their boats are not in the state
right of way?
Chairman Wilcenski: Yes, I can say that.
Diana Voelkr: Okay, from the site plan, not this...
Chairman Wilcenski: I can see it by the aerial and we are —just so you know— the
Planning Board has discussed this and it's the first time that we're going through this
application but we are going to make a site visit.
Diana Voelkr: You should make a few. Thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Please be sure to write your name for the record.
Would anybody else like to address the Board?
Jeff Weber: My name's Jeff Weber, I love at 1030 Bayshore Road, Greenport. I've
been there close to 50 years now, my parents were there also and a couple years ago, I
was in a really bad accident right over the new bridge. Ok, back in the day, okay, when
the old bridge was there, it was like, you know, you would do like 30 miles an hour now;
but nowadays, with the new bridge, we'll come over 50-55 miles an hour, so we're
talking west to east, alright? And they put a turning lane right around Lighthouse Marine
and one day I was coming home from work, I wasn't doing 50 or whatever and he's
coming westbound in that turning lane with his large forklift and a boat, so I had to veer
Southold Town Planning Board Page 126 January 13, 2020
to the North- Northeast okay, into the proper lane okay, to get around him and he's
moving his boats westbound. You know, that's a problem, like, he's forcing me into the
main road from the turning lane there so. I mean, what I'm thinking of 5 or 10 years
from now, there's going to be a traffic light there. I mean, that's how bad it is. And also, I
went to Supervisor Russell about three years ago, so when this guy first moved in here,
I had a meeting with him and there's a —well this guy here —we call him "The Milk Guy"
and there's actually a road that comes down from the back of the — oh, it's called "The
Welding Guy" — and I think it use to come right onto George's property and it's fenced
off there now but I was going to say, according to that map, I don't think that map is
proper because what happened was, one day, Corazzini, when he was expanding, he
opened up that fence and he brought in I don't know how many thousands of yards of
bluestone and it's piled almost to the roof level of that—what you could say is a —
residential home. You know, I have a feeling that that road is supposed to come
through there, I don't think it should be fenced off, back in the day Mr. Raff used to
have his fish market there but— I just wanted to say something else about the Corazzini
pollution, I mean, he expanded and you know, this whole corner is really horrible now
but I would recommend a site visit like, if possible but.. Anyway thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Please be sure to write your name for the record.
Would anybody else like to address the Board? George, you can respond if you'd like.
George Penny: George Penny again, Should I write my name a second time?
Chairman Wilcenski: Yes, please.
George Penny: The road in question was Lawrence Lane. Lawrence Lane was part of
a subdivision of the whole Kerwin Boulevard area way back from the original times; it
was never put into place. When we purchased the wrecking property, along with that
came Lawrence Lane, my attorney Charley Cuddy, on my request, filed for a
discontinuance on that and it was abandoned and it's all part of the Planning Board's
records. So if anyone wants to check on that, it's a very simple matter. Thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. You had questions? Oh, yes, George, Mary has a
question for you. I don't know if any of the other Planning board members have any
questions for you either?
Mary Eisenstein: Mr. Penny, how many businesses are there, that are not in
buildings? Are there businesses there that are not in buildings?
George Penny: The only tenant that is in there is —that does not— is not occupying a
building is Corazzini, who is using an open area for granular products for his driveways.
Mary Eisenstein: Does he have trucks there as well?
Southold Town Planning Board Page 127 January 13, 2020
George Penny: No. Corazzini? No.
Mary Eisenstein: So, how many businesses are operating in that site? Collectively?
George Penny: I believe that is all part of our record, I think there's probably eight.
Mary Eisenstein: Eight.
George Penny: They're all clearly—we're all clearly put on the plan by Rob Brown.
Mary Eisenstein: And the Lighthouse, do they sell boat equipment? Like, things that
you would need for your boats?
George Penny: I believe so, yes.
Mary Eisenstein: Oh, okay. And then —thanks for answering these questions — how
many boats do you normally store?
George Penny: I have no idea how many boats he stores; he utilizes the property as
fully as he can to pay the rent.
Mary Eisenstein: And the U-Haul business - is the U-Haul business being operated
out of one of the business there?
George Penny: That's Lighthouse Marine is running the U-Hauls.
Mary Eisenstein: And so then, the trucks —the number of trucks —that, from day-to-
day changes? The number of trucks that are there?
George Penny: I would assume so.
Mary Eisenstein: Okay, thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Would anybody else like to address the Board? Anybody else?
Okay, okay, go ahead.
Bernadette Hoban: Good Evening, My name is Bernadette Hoban, I'm the homeowner
of 1600 Bayshore Road. I just want to clarify and — for the record, state that —the
tenant, the irresponsible tenant that is renting from the irresponsible owner is actually
working on those boats in the front of the building, not in a building and as boater, I'm
very familiar with the chemicals and the toxic chemicals that are used to paint the
bottom of boats, to clean the boats and to work on those engines. All of that is being
done in, basically what was the parking lot of Marjam, so if you were going to get a new
kitchen seven years ago, you would basically go into that parking lot and park your car

in one of the lanes that you would just go shopping anywhere else, this is where this
gentleman is now, basically, operating on motors and the gentleman that took the
photos and sent the email to our president with regard to the chemicals is very
knowledgeable with boats and those chemicals were spilling onto the street. The other
thing I want to state to just give you a visual, you don't move a boat— it's not that easy
to move a boat on land, he's using a forklift and that's where he's blocking and crossing
over the land that Diana was questioning about being state owned. He's basically using
that side land — if you were walking down the street of Kerwin —you could not even
walk, forget about driving a car, but you can't even walk on that grass section because
this is where he's lunging out with the forklift, going in and out to move a boat. So
there's a lot of very bad things going on but just to make it clear, he's not working on
these boats in a garage or any type of overhang, it's all out in the open right on main
road. People are up on ladders working on the bridge of these very large fishing boats,
the whole thing is toxic, literally, and everything else. Thank you.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Would you please sign your name? Would anybody
else like to address the board? Again, like I said, we will make a site visit, we have
received all the letters and emails that become a part of the file. We're here to site plan
the property, we do not determine the uses —that's the building department, but we are
trying to work closely with them in rectifying this situation. Yes, go ahead.
Ursula Vavers: Ursula Vavers, Bayshore Road. Just a point, when you make the site
visits to do various times because yesterday it was an unsightly sight, this evening, it's
all cleaned up, there's places to park in front of the Lighthouse Marina building, the
boats on the side are put carefully away, everything,is nice and neat tonight. Yesterday
it was a disaster so — and as someone just whispered behind me —they're not cleaning
up boats, now they're all covered in the plastic so, when you make these visits, vary,
like surprise visits.
Chairman Wilcenski: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Board?
