REPORTS. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: First item on your agenda, reports. These are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office for anyone to read. 1. Scavenger Waste Plant annual report for 1988. 2. Southold Town Police Department Monthly Report for December, 1988 3. Councilman's Reports.-At this time, I'd like to ask the Cour~cilman, if they have anything special to report. Starting on my right with Ruth Oliva. JANUARY 23;-1989 1 8 7 COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you, Frank. On January 11th, we had a joint Highway Committee meeting, with the Planning Board and Ray. Jacobs. The meeting will be reported on by the chairman, Jean Coc.hran. On January 12th, I attended an Inland Waterways Committee meeting, in which the chairman, Ellen Larsen, will report on. On January 18th, I attended the Commerce and Industry Committee, which Councilman Penny will report on. On January 14th, I was' priviledged to attend the memorial service for Dr. Martin Luther King at the A.M.E. Zion Church in Greenport. It was a beautiful service, and I enjoyed going very much. On January 19th, we had the informational meeting with the Water Advisory Committee, in which the people got up and express their very deep concerns about the whole core watershed protection area, and hopefully with some more dialogue, and some review, perhaps, we can come to some sort of conclusion that will please everybody. I think that's it. Thank you, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. George? COUNCILMAN PENNY: On the 18th, we had the Commerce and Industry Committee meeting. We spoke, again, about getting some more screening for the booth, the Chamber of Commerce booth in Greenport. There was a recommendation from the committee members, that we work on a Town Economic Impact Statement, which would be filed in the event that the Town was going to take property off the tax rolls, for whatever purpose. We have a copy of the State's proposed draft of the same stature, and we're going to check further into that. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Excuse me, George. What was the first thing. missed part of that. COUNCILMAN PENNY: The screening. The screening of the booth there. We had a program going through Ray Jacobs to get cedar trees. We've got them donated by John Costello at one time. Now, we've got to check back in and see if we can get some more there, and try to help screen off that area. We discussed a new office of tourism that Hempstead set up, in response to diminishing tourism in the last year. Hempstead Supervisor David Mandello, announced the creation of a new office in Town government designed to promote travel to America's largest Township, and we discussed the possibility and we're probably going to get into that more of Southold doing something along this area, because the way things are going it seems like tourism will be the only industry left out here. We dis- cussed tipping fees in the landfill. The need for them. Where they're going. We discussed the tax base. What can be done to increase it, and we're going to do a survey amongst the businesses in the community, and try to get some imput from them, on how the Town can respond more to the needs of the business community, and what we can do to attract business growth in this area. This- is a concern of a lot of businesses in this area, who have come to us peacemeal, and we figured that it's enough of a concern, that we're going to approach this as a group, and get a qualified survey and answers. We discussed the Master Plan status, which everyone is pretty much aware of. We've had a lot of dis- cussions on what new changes, and where's it going from there, from here. We're going to approached by the winery group; the winery people once again. They realize that although there is not wine district,specifically, a zoning allows in any of the areas that have a lot of wineries, because we've gone through a study, and we've decided that we were going to try to do what other areas have done, ,and found out that other areas haven't done anything. That was the wine and grape study. But they still want us to do something, and so we're asking them to put together a list of recommendations of what they're actually looking for. We're going to address that in the Commerce and Industry Committee intially, and then pass it on to the Code Committee. On the 19th, I was privileged to attend a meeting of the Water Advisory Committee, with quite a number of people from the community. It was a better turnout than the Master Plan hearing. It goes to show you, that people are concerned when constraints, or they feel that con- straints are being put on their property. There was quite a representation of some of the property owners in this area, up and down the protection zone. There's a lot of misconceptions going around, and there's a lot of problems yet, and I'm sure that it's going to take quite a few meetings, and quite a bit of give and take, before anything productive comes out of this. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jean? COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: On the 11th, as you've mentioned, there was a joint meetin fo the Highway Committee, and the Planning Board. We reviewed the road dedication procedures, and incurred that they're now in printed form. It's pretty much the way things have been handled now, but at least it's in a printed form. I don't know if Town Board members received it, or not, but I'll certainly make sure that you did. It's for the Planning Board to work with, but it makes it easier for the client. . the applicant to understand, exactly the procedure. Also, we reviewed correspondence regard, lng a signal being placed at the intersection' of County Road 48, and Sound Avenue in Mattituck. We reviewed the State proposal for sidewalks down in Greenport in front of the Breakers. We, also, dicussed 1 8 8 JANUARY 23, 1989 options allowing the Planning Board to reduce paying in certain subdivisions, where lots have a greater that two acres in area. Our next meetin9 is February 8th. I feel, and I'm sure Ruth ~ould agree with me,.._that we've met now twice, and I think it's a productive meeting, and I think i'~'s a good line of communication between the Superintendent of Highways, Ray Jacobs, and the committee and the Planning Board. It has a good positive working arrangement. ~3n the 11th, in the evening, I attended the 350th Anniversary Committee, and they submitted their written reports. There's nothing in addition to what has been submitted, but they are planning some exciting things, and I hope that some of the ideas they have work out, because it will make a nice celebration for us for the 350th. On the 19th, I went out on a tour with Jeanne Marriner, and Ronnie Wacker. They called and asked if I would be agreeable to touring some of the marinas with them, where they had concerns. We spent several hours doing this, and some of the concerns have validity, so I'm sure in relation to the Master Plan, they will present- ing these concerns, more specifically, than they have been in the past to the Code Committee, Ruth. Also, I would like to just take a moment to thank our Southold Police Department, and the Mattituck Fire Department. Over the weekend, a handicapped child was reported missing, and the Police Department and the Mattituck Fire Department went out and helped with the search, and the child was found, and it could have really been a tragedy, but because of good working between these two departments, it was positive finding and the child is fine. Also, in addition, as I read the minutes from the .. I'm not on the Water Committee, although that does not preclude me from attending meetings. I had a conflict on Thursday, that was a meeting I really would have liked to have attended, but I read in the minutes, that people are quoting the fact that the Town Board has approved this program, and I think there should be some clarification. The Town Board, when Mr. Villa, and Mr. McDonald gave their presentation, it was a matter of approving a concept, with the committee having more work to do, to try to come to a justification, or a meeting of the minds between the different factions, that are in disagreement, instead until that time, I just want to clarify that I have not approved this water core area. What I have approved is, or have supported, not even the word approved, is a concept. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Ellen? COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Thank you, Frank. On the lZ~th of January, I attended, by invitation, a meeting of Southold 2000, and listened to their concerns. Any questions, many of the people that attended are community leaders, regarding the Master Plan, and the course the Town will be following afterwards. On the 11th, I attended a Highway Committee meeting, which Jean Cochran has reported on. On the 12th, we held a meeting of the Inland Waterways Committee. I had invited Greg Ravera, from Suffolk County Cooperative Extension to com.e and s_peak to us, for the purpose of establishing a shellfish advisory committee within the Town, for distribution of our one million seed clams, that we now have ........ racks and ramps and have the capability of growing ..... each year. We have gone from one quarter million to a million seed clams. Last year, 850,000 clams were distributed from the rack, and 150,000 are currently wintering over, because they were less than adequate size to be transplanted. There were, also, I believe, 2,000 bushels of clams transplanted from uncertified waters in Mill Creek, and Arshamonque, to certified water in Hallocks Bay. This is all the results of a $50,000.00 grant received from the State to assist the Town's baymen with the scallop crop. After discussion, and review, it was agreed by all, that it was a highly successful project for the Town in 1988. We, then, discussed the six sites that are currently the home to 400,000 scallops, as the result of the Green Seat Program. The committee asked that we contact Mr. Hockbrueckner and Sawicki to, at the request of John Holzapfel, who's the chairman of CAC, he requested that the Committee contact Congressman Hochbruecker and Representive $awicki to insure these monies will be there in the future, as in his view,this is a major natural disaster. We, also, discussed the possibilty of the Town growing the scallops within itself, on its own, and we'll be discussing that, again, at a future meeting. I, also, attended the Water Advisory Committee meeting on the 19th. One of the major concerns ...... be sure that the equity is there in the [and, and although we are talking, we possibly are talking, the recommendation is to look into areas of TDR's to the north of this water protection area. The farmers want insurances that these development rights will be valuable to them. With that, and the insurances that they can continue farming in this area, is .something we'll have to look into more in the future. I, also, met with Jim Mahon, on the 19th, where we went over the aff6rdAble sites, for all 15 affordable housing units, at length, to find out exactly where they were. With Jim going to apply for the..meet with the Suffolk County Health Department the next day to find out the procedure you have to use to get the health permit. We completed a long environmental assessment form for one of the projects... I, also, formulated the 1989 dredge list for the County, which I have compiled, and should be on its way to John Guldi office, Thank you. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Excuse me. What is the status of Goldsmith's? I hope that's back on there, because that wasn't done last year. JANUARY 23, 1989 189 COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: The only Cre~s that were done last year, were Brush's, Little and New Suffolk. Tl4ere were only three. I met with 'Dennis Cole, last year, in fact I'll give you .-, o0py of the letterJt h~l the permit amended to allow, the DEC permit, amended to allow for the dredqe disposal to be placed on Kenny's COUNCILMAN PENNY: The question was, is Goldsmith's back in for 19897 COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Right now, we have put it on the dredge list for this year, and as well as last year. It goes before the dredge screening committee of the County. They will make the determination of what they feel has to be dredged. The reason it wasn't dredged last year, I guess the beach hadn't eroded to point that they felt it needed to be renourished. COUNCILMAN PENNY: The beach is the recipient. Goldsmith, itself, is closing down, and I hope its high up on the list of priorities, because its only a trickle coming out of there now. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Raymond? JUSTICE EDWARDS: I have nothing, Frank. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The only thing else l's like to add is, I attended with our Chief of Police, the Police Academy graduation, and it was most impressive. One of our new officers, Jamie Ginas, scored first in the pistol competition, marksmanship, scored a possible 290, out of a possible 300. It was the first time, I believe, that any award from the Police graduation, this is 104th class, I think, went to someone other than a Suffolk County Policeman. So it was quite an honor, and the training is fantastic. All the new recruits are now EMT's, also. They're all certified. The whole class passed. They had a young boy, who's dying of leukemia, I believe, that this class adopted, and he was up there for the graduation, and it was the greatest thing. This little six or seven year old kid, had a regular Suffolk County Police uniform on, the badge, the handcuffs, everything. It was quite a thrill for him, and I guess,the young men and women in the academy, paid for all this out of their own fund. It was really very impressive. II.

JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing, Frank SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen? COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: No, thank you, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean? COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: No. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, to announce publicly, that there will be a public meeting in the very near future, and we're going to invite the Suffolk County Department of Health Services representative and the Village of Greenport, representatives from the Village Board, regarding the Angel Shores Cove water system. There's been 70 6r 80 people from th~ community tt~at have expressed JANUARY 23, 1989 1'95 concerns as to what's happening doWn ~l~e't~e, and this will give them a chance to get some of their answers right up front, I will be announcing this meeting in the very near future. Also, on the next meeting's agenda, I'd like the Town to take a position on the Suffolk County tax increase, that just came through. It was predicted in the paper's by the County Executive Office as being 16 or 17 per cent, and somehow or other, I think they missed a zero or a decimal point, or something, but the nearest calculations we can come to, is its ten times that what's predicted. It's been in all the newspapers since then. I know a lot of people, locally, having gotten their tax bills directly, because they get them through the banks, and through other finance companies, and I'm sure that the impact of this by mid February, it's going to be horrendous. People are very upset about this, and I think that the Town Board should go on the record. I don't know which way the Town Board will go on this, but I'm recommending that we discuss this, and put it up as a resolution. It would be resolution number one at our next meeting, and send some sort of message to the County, that we are really not happy with this type of financial management. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth? COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Yes. I'm just delighted that we are going to have a meeting, just about the whole Angel Shores problem with the water, with the Greenport and the Department of Health Services, because people down there... George has received many call. I have received many, many calls, and I'm glad that will be able to have an exchange of just what's going on there and what we can do about it. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone in the audience, who would like to address the Town Board on any matter? (No response.) In the middle? STEVE PERRICONE: I guess many of you weren't at the meeting last Thursday night, the Water Advisory Committee, but I'm more or less, the appointed spokesman for the property owners, and as you know, the proposed plan is really not the way to go, as far as property owners are concerned. We feel at this time, since our property has already been jeopardized and the value of our property has been going down, ever since this has started. The resale value is completely shot. Anyone, who has been trying to sell their property, mainly business people who have been trying to sell their property, and I've been one of them. Our building has been for sale now, for the past two years, and has been listed with the real estate broker. You can check on that. One of the main reasons, why it hasn't sold, is because of the encumberances that have been put on the property, because of this plan, that had been proposed. No one wants to purchase this property because of the uncertainty of what's going to happen here. Consequently, the resale value of the property is completely nil now. Nobody wants to look at it. In fact, there has been a couple of incidents, instances, where people who already had their sold, and had it in contract, have lost the deal because of this. Now, what we're asking.., what I'm here today to ask the Town Board, is to consider tabling this new, or this proposal that they've been working on, now, for a year and a half. The core watershed protection area, and make it public, so our property values can go back to where they're supposed to be. I'm sure you people don't realize what you have done with this proposal, or by considering this proposal to the people who own property here. I don't think anybody's ever taken that into consideration. If it was your property, I guess you'd feel the same way, if you wanted to sell it, and coultdr~t sell it because of this proposal. I'm sure you people would be a little upsetS-too. We had quite a few people at the meeting, and people who were there are all property owners. They're all against the plan, or~e hundred per cent against the plan, one hundred per cent against the TDR's, one hundred per cent against the whole proposal, because there are other alternatives, and nobody has looked into the other alternatives, even though they've been proposed to this Board, and to that committee. There are two people on the committee that are completely handling this whole thing, and are leaving everyone else on the committee completely out of this. Whether you agree with that or not, but this is what's happening. Benny Orlowski was even there that evening, and he was asked to speak. He was asked some ques- tions, and even the Town Planning Board is completely against TDR's. They don't want them. He says they don't want to move one problem from one area, and move it to another area. They're completely against it. They don't want to have anything to do with it. The whole concept of TDR's is completely out the window, I believe. Not only that, in theory TDR's might work. Anybody can si~ down ' and write this out, and say, we going to give you transfer development rights from this piece of property to this piece of property. It's going to be great. You have equity in this thing. It's going to be worth money. That's only a theory. It never happened.. It never has worked. So, again, what we're asking, I won't harp on this, but what the property owners 'are asking now, that the Town Board completely table this whole pr6j:ect as far as the core watershed protectibn area goes, and look into other alternatives. Now, we are going to come JANUARY 23, 1989 up with other alternatives. We have it spelled out. I wasn't prepared for this today, by the way. I thought you people were going to meet tomorrow night. I was going to have my girls type up letters. Give a letter to each one of you people. We're having a meeting. We've formed a committee of pro- perty owners. We're having a meeting, and we're going to come up with the alternative that do work by the way, in theory, and actually work in other towns, and other states, in the United States. TDR's, again I'm going to say, never worked anyplace, and never going to work here.They'i~not worth anything. They're absolutely worthless, according to every banker,and every real estate broker in this town. They're absolutely worthless. The other concept, which you don't realize, is that the banks consider this property absolutely worthless. They won't lend money on it. They won't give mortgages on it, as long as it is considered a core watershed protection area, and your property is in it, the four major banks in this town, consider that it is absolutely worthless. They will not take a chance on giving a mortgage, or lending any equity money, operating money on this property, whatsoever, and we talked to all four banks. Not only that, they're not even considering lending money, now, that the project is even being proposed on the property. I'm telling you, people have done such a terrible justice to these people. You have no idea. If you want to pay for the property, fine. Everybody says, New York State reservoirs upstate, if they didn't do that, they would'~thave water. But you know what? I'm sorry New York City. New York City bought those reservoirs. They paid for it. They paid the going price for those reservoirs. That's how they got them. Sure they reserved them. They paid for them. People want to pay for it? You want to pay $125,000.00 for a building lot, that they're worth? Okay, fine. There are a lot of people who want to sell you the property. They'll sell it to you, but you're going to have to pay for it. I don't really want to get into it. I wasn't going to get into it. Mrs. Larsen was at the meeting that night, but I guess she had to leave early, and she didn't get to hear the rest of the meeting, which was the best part of the meeting, at the end, especially, when Mr. Orlowski got up and spoke. I think that's all I really have to say now. I'm going to have a letter printed up, and send it to each and everyone of you, and we are going to come up with proposals. We're working on this, honestly. We want to work with the people, and we think it's a dead committee, now. I'm sure everyone_ else thinks it's a dead committee. They can't get anything done. It's only two people working on this. They don't want to listen to anybody else. They don't want to hear it. They're very adament about it. We're going to have to come up with our own committee, which we have already, and we'll give you our proposals. Proposals, that will work. Why? Because we're businessmen and we know what works. We have a little bit more insight than these people, who work for government agencies, that don't know anything about the working capabilities of business people, or how things can work. They're just used to dictating to everybody, and that's the way it's going to be, and that's it. Well, it's not going to be this way in this case. We're not going to let it happen. So, we're asking for your help, and we're asking for you, again, to table this watershed protection area, and let's get done with it. If we have to come back to it later on, at a later date if these other proposals don't work, maybe, we can come back to it and sit down and iron all these difficulties out. But, right now, we want you to give us back our property rights, our property values and table this whole situation. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: is there anyone else in the audience, who would like to address the Town Board? (No response.)
