A Locall, Law in ?.~;at/on to Zoninq
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Eourd of the Town of So~thold as follows:
I. Chapter 100 (Zonmg~ bf the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby
amended as follows:
~. Section 100-13.B. is hereby amended to read as follows:

square feet.
II. This Local Law shall take effect upon its filin9 with the Secretary of State.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I just want to be clear on what we're voting on. What
I understand is before us, is a vote on the proposed amendment, which requires
850 square feet minimum only for single family residences, and I further understand
that the liveable area term will be rewritten to be consistent with how the Code
now reads. Is that right?

anything to say? '
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Just that I've been to the usual meetings.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: We're been recycling, garbaging, Code Committee,
Commerce and Industry Committee. We're all keeping very busy.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Obviously, by the amount of people came here tonight,
I don't have to mention the fact that we've had several Legislative Committee meetinc'
It's unfortunate that we're being admonished or chastised for something that was
put up before us by the Planninq Board. But, unfortunately or fortunately, what-
ever the case may be, to make il~ an amendment to the Town Code, it has to pass
through the Town Board. The buck stops with us. We took the heat for some-
body else today.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Councilman Wickham?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I would like to make a very brief report on the Waste
Managment front. Last week at this time, you recall, there was a public information
meeting in Peconic, and it was a modest crowd, that' had, I thouqht, some very
useful content and suggestions, that we'll be taking up at a future meeting. This
week we had a Waste Manaqement Task Force meeting in which we have begun
shifting our focus somewhat. Up until now, we had been looking primarily at
technologal and economic solutions to our waste management problem. We've been
exploring different solutions in that regard. In all cases, we're really looking
at the least cost solution for the Town, one, of course, that would be environmentally
safe and satifactory to the DEC. We have to view that a lot of the problem is
not simply a technologal problem, but is basically in a question of interpretation
of the regulations, and the regulat'ions are sufficiently broad, that they can be
interpreted in different ways. In recent months, members of the New York State
Legislature, themselves, have begun raising questions whether the law should
be modified, and specifically modified in ways that would help the smaller towns,
here on Long Island, namely the East End Towns. There are now three bills before ~
the Legislature, which would do, as far as Southold Town is concerned, two importar
things. One of them would be to extend the deadline by three years. That is
from this December until three years hence. The second bill is rather different
in nature. Those of you, who were at the public information meeting last Tuesday
will recall, that the hierarchy of waste management is first to reduce the waste
that comes into the dump, and we think we can reduce it by 50%. Secondly, to
recycle, and we think we can recycle twenty to twenty-five percent of the materials.
Third, would be a resource recovery option, such as composting, or incineration,
or distillation, and the residual that comes out of that, would be landfilled. The
bill, that has been raised in the Legislature, is whether towns like Southold could
go directly from the reduction, recycling phases, directly to landfilling without
having to send muncipal solid waste into a compost or incinerator. There appears
to me major cost saving to the Town, if in fact this were legal. I want to emphasis
that in supporting this proposed legislation, the Town is not trying to circumvent
or avoid the requirements of the law, rather we are adding our voice to those
APRIL 24, 1990
411
legislator, who feel that a less cO~ti~b:l~:'i6h of this nature is in the interest
of Southold Town, 'and other towns out here. I might add, that there are a number
of towns out here, we met with Shelter Island, and we will be meetin9 with others
who share this point of view. I'd like to just add, that the Planninq and Zoninq
Committee has also had an active period in the last two weeks, and the key issue,
that we're taking up, at the present time, is affordable housin9, We are not Iookin9
at the specific and (tape change) broadly, and coming up with conceptual models
of how an affordable housin9 program, that really meets the Town's long term
needs, to be developed, and I'll just mention breifly, some of the ideas that we're
trying to consider. One of them, is to see that the affordable housing ~nits are
distributed adequately throughout the Town, and not just clustered in one particular
hamlet or center. Secondly, that they have a long term committment to affordable
housing, and not something that in a relatively short period of years, could be
turned over into profits, and then 90 into the full cost of housin9. Thirdly,
a criteria that we've adopted is to try and find a model or mechanism for
affordable housing by which people who graduate from the ranks of needyness,
and become revelantly well-off can be upwardly mobile out of this scheme into
regular housing, so that other people comin9 up from the bottom will qualify for
those houses. Fourthly, we've considerin9 ways in which affordable housing could
be done, here in the Town, which would not require public water. As you've
all heard, at the moment almost all affordable housin9 are schemes require public
water. And, lastly, there are people here in the Town, who have some very inter-
esting ideas about much less costly house construction, compared with the construction
technics of have been proposed in the existing affordable housing, and we think
this is very important, and needs to be intergrated. These are the questions
that the Committee is looking at, at the present time. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, I'd like to take comments from the audience.
Is there anybody who would like to address the Town Board on any matter, that
they feel is important to them, or important to the residents of Southold Town?
N0w is the time to do so.
NANCY SAWASTYNOWICZ: I have one little thing. Right now, I'm going to write
a letter to the Building Department about the wrecking industry, that's going
down on Depot Lane. They've been summoned already, but I would like the Board
to be aware of this. This man is wrecking cars with a payloader on the property,
and it has to be contaminating the area, and they've been summoned by the Building
Department, and they will be going to court, but I think it's pretty important
issue, and I would like to Board to be aware of it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Nancy, this Town Board is aware of that activity, and
what has occurred through the Building Department, and it is in the court system
as you say. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Hearing no one else,
do I hear a motion to close?
Moved by Councilman Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Larsen,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Supervisor Harris.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
