I. REPORTS.

Conference.
2. Southold Town's Developmentally i)isabled Recreation report for April

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At this time, I would like to ask the Councilman, if
they have anything special to report, starting at my left with Judge Edwards.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing at this time. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: No, nothing, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes. On the 28th of March, I was guest speaker
at the South01d Rotary and my topic was, what else? Southold. It's garbage,
problems and solutions. It went very well, and they learned a great deal of what
direction Southold Town is going in relation to getting rid of our garbage. On
the 29th, I chaired the CAST Substance Abuse Committee meeting. The Committee
is presently going through a process of education. It's my belief that a committee
can not take leadership in a given area, unless they are well informed on the topic,
so what we're doing the first half hour, thirty-five minutes of each meeting that
we're having, they're having an educational section. This past week, we had
Officers Kevin Lynch and Carlisle Cochran share with us the duties of the Juvenile
Aid Bureau. Next month, we will be having a woman from Riverhead. Following
that a round table discussion took place in relation to setting the goals of the
committee, looking a finances, fund raising. 'it was a very successful meeting.
Also, the Substance Abuse Committee is sponsoring, beginning on March 28th, it
began on March 28th, sponsoring a Substance Abuse Counseling, and these
counselors from Apple, which is a substance abuse rehabilitation program in
Hauppauge, and these people are highly trained-in solving the problems of substance
abuse, so we're hopiog that people take advantage of this service that's being
offered. Also, on the 29th, I attended the dinner celebration of the Southold Town
Green, as you may be aware at the last Board meeting, the Southold Town Green
was turned over from the Peconic Land Trust to the Town. The Committee was
really a great committee. It was very cohesive. Everyone became very fond of
one another, because we were working on a common goal of developing the Green.
Many friendships were formed, so we thought the best way was to celebrate with
a dinner, which we did do, and a good time was had by all. Each individual paid
their own dinner. Also, the March of Dimes will be hosting its Walk America on
Sunday, April 30th, at 8:30 A.M. at the Indian Island County Park in Riverhead.
The funds that are being raised are to support research, medical services, health,
educational programs aimed at the prevention of birth defects. So if anyone is
interested in walking for the March of Dimes. Ken Reeves, our Recreation Director,
has forms up at the Recreation Center. On the 3rd of April, I left for Florida
with my grandson, John Paul. We visited Disney World, of course. You don't
go to Florida with a five year old unless you go to Disney World, and then went
over to Cocoa Beach to visit my daughter, Jeanine, and each and everyone of us,
including grandma, had a good time. Most important, ! would like to introduce
to you, my grandson Carlisle Evans Cochran III, better known as Ty. Ty is a
286
member of Troop 6 and is presently working on earning his citizenship in the
community award, and Ty, I'd like to take a moment and introduce you to the Town
i~oard of Southold. On my right is our Supervisor Francis Murphy. We have Judy
Terry, Town Clerk. We have George Penny, Councilman. Ruth Oliva, Councilwoman.
On my far left, we have Judge EdWards, Councilman from Fishers Island, and my
immediate left is Ellen Larsen, Councilwoman. So your o~randmother would like
to wish you good luck with working on your award, and it's nice having you w. ith
us this evening.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Very nice, and good luck. I'm sure you'll do well. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. On the 5th, I attended a meeting of the Code Committ~-~
which Ruth will report on. On the-6th, we had a meeting with the Orient Meadow-.
lands' Property Owners, the DEC, the Town Open Space Committee and the Peconic
Land Trust, and we had a rather lengthy discussion on our efforts to preserve
the properties in Orient and yet the people maintain their ownership and the rights
to use their property. I won't go into all of this because a lot of it was technical.
It's seems to be serving the purpose because people are sitting down and there's
been a lot of give and take at the table, and people weren't given this opportunity
before when they were just negotiating with the threat of condemnation over them,
but so far,~ and I have this confirmed that this is working very well. On the 7th,
we had a Police Committee meeting where we discussed the contract negotiations,
and last night, Frank and ! spoke to the Board of Directors of Southold 2000 on
various areas of the Town solid waste solution. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you, Frank. On March 28th, we has an Open
Space Committee meeting, and as our guest was a gentleman from the DEC, a
Mr. Frank Pan;ek, who was regional supervisor of Natural Resources, and he
explained how they are trying to spend the 1986 EQBA funds, and would like
Southold to come up with a wish list, which hopefully we will do with the Water-
front Revitilization Committee. We, also, have one piece of property that has
been offered to us, which we will have an appraisal on, and we will go back to
somebody else, who we did get an appraisal on, and see if we can work out some-
thing with him. So we are moving along on the Open Space Committee. On March --
30th, ~ attended a Tax Pac meetin[~ at the Peconic Center. There were probably
well over 200 people t--~--~F~'. They are all concerned very deeply about the increase
in taxes. They were just there to form an organization and I think they will be
marching and telling us all not to raise taxes. On March 28th, I had a PBA meet-
ing, where we discussed negotiations. On April 5th, we had a Code Committee
me~ting, and I'm happy to say after eighteen months of working on our Site Plan,
tonight it is on to send to various agencies for their comments and it's been' a long
hard strug§le, but we finally got there. We, also, discussed storage trailers and
we're working on some sort of ordinance to prevent people from just leaving these
trailers there. We, also, discussed some things with the marine zone. I hope
to have a meeting with some of the marina operator, owners, the Water Revitalization
Committee people, the CAC and Town Board members to discuss some of our
differences there and see what we can do about it. On April 6th, I also attended
the meeting with George with the Orient Meadowland Association, and he dj§- -
cussed that. On April 3rd, Jim McMahon, our community development director,
and Rob Berntsson, our Assistant Town Attorney, and I went down to C.W. Post
to attend a affordable housinq conference. Senator D'Amato was the first speaker
and he, again, emphasized the need for affordable housing and I think his main
point, that I got from it, he really thought that cooperations, instead of just com-
plaining about the fact that there was no housing for t-heir employees, should start
thinking about kicking in some money to help the different towns to develop
affordable housing. Dr. Koppleman, who is the regional Planning Board Commissioner
spoke and he said that we need 50,000 units, now, of affordable housing. To date
we only have 2,600, and 1,800 of those are in Brookhaven Town. The next gentle-
man that spoke was a Mr. Richard Ferrara from Montgomery County, Maryland,
and he had some very interesting thoughts on what they have done down there.
One third of their land in Montgomery County is preserved for agriculture, and
their zoning is that is four homes per hundred acres. They have 8,000 units now
in the affordable housing district. If' someone comes .in for a subdivision, they
are given a 22% density bonus, but 15% of that must be affordable housing or if
not, then 12.5% of the subdivision must affordable housing. These homes are sold
for $50,000.00, $60,000.00 or $80,000.00. They're attached, a condo and single
family homes. This is in effect for ten years. They are allowed to be sold then
at full market value after the ten year period, but one-half of the profit that they
make must be returned to the town, which goes into a bank in order to buy more
land. The Housing Authority does buy a certain percentage of property, and then
rent it out. They also, though,do receive $5,000,000.00 from the County for
this program. Mr Koppleman was, also, rather annoyed that there were only three
elected officials there in the morning, somebody from Southampton, Marty Depura
from Southhampton, myself, and one other person. Perhaps he would have been
a little happier in the afternoon, because there was some speakers from the different
towns and townships. There was about seven or eight of us there. So it was
a very interesting conference and I enjoyed it very much. On April 7th, we had
a Police Committee meeting, which George said we discussed negotiations, and
yesterday, April 10th, I went to the special Brown Water Protection Area committee
at Hauppuage. There was a discussion by Joe Bear as far as the East Setauket,
our special core watershed area, and then there was a presentation by Rick
Handley of Riverhead. He would like to have some of the line changed in his area,
because it is now industrial and it would be included. They felt they needed that
property and it would be watered and sewered, but the Committee said that they
would like him to come back and say what else that Riverhead could do for the
core watershed area. We, also, had a presentation by a gentleman from Cornell
University about turf grass management. I think that's it. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth.~The only other thing I would like to
comment on is tomorrow we're meeting with the DEC, and our consultants,' and
the firm that is going to, hopefully, build our composting system at the DEC, and
Friday we're going to have another negotiating session with this firm. These
sessions last about twelve hours, and they're quit~ intense, and hopefully we'll
come up with a excellent contract.

director) getting married, and he's not going to be there for a week, there's two
days that she's coming in as a part-timer, and then we'll then hire her as the full-
timer. It keeps everything straight. So that's why the second resolution looks

COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I'd like to comment on the Carr/Norris change of zone.
It became evident that a complete upzoning of the Norris property to an R40 zone,
without the change to allow density on the Wanat property would be impossible.
We were not able to get the support needec~ on the Town Board to do that. I
feel had the 108 units been placed on the-Wanat property, we would have been
looking at a very ~nvironmentally disastrous proposition for the Town. I spent
many, many nights and evening thinking about this. It was with regret, that
I passed this resolution. I think that we took a step in the right direction when
we put it in R40 rather than hamlet density today. There is no real winners in
this situation, and in my judgement I think this is the best for the Town. It
was with relief, and with regret, that I passed this. Thank you.

JUSTICE EDWARDS: The only thing I h~ve to offer, Frank, is I spent two and
a half hours in Motor Vehicle on Monday, doing my own thing, and in two and
a half hours I took care of 16 pieces of motor vehicle applications for the people
o Fishers Island, which included some motor vehicle photo liscense applications.
7he cameras on Fishers Island have taken fifteen photos so far. I have another
1) to take, and i'll be bringing the camera back to Motor Vehicle,,, They've
a lowed me to keep it three weeks this time, which has made it very he pful to
t ~e people on the island. It's a lot of work, but I don't mind doing it, because
I realize the problem that the people have over there ~n getting to Riverhead,
o getting to White Plains to get this done, so it's very nice of the Motor Vehicle
t~ allow these things to come to past. With that, thank you, Frank.
S JPERVISOR MURPHY: The only comment I have, I'd like to just say basically
tl~e same thing that Ellen had commented on. I think it was a very tough decision,
a~d I think it's one that hopefully will work out for the best. It's unfortunate
tl~at a situation happened many years ago, and I think this is hopefully a very
g)od solution. At this time, I would like to ask anyone in the audience if they
w)uld like to address the Town Board on any matter at all. Starting on my left?
F 'ank?
'RANK CARLIN: I'm Frank Carlin, from Laurel. I noticed the last time I was
ere, when I mentioned sign improvements up in Laurel. I don't see anything
oing on there, and it's going to open in a couple of w~eks. (Information booth)
there any reason why that sign hasn't been improved on?
:)UNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: We have a meeting tomorrow scheduled. We'll put
~at on the agenda for tomorrow. As you know we're in the process of doing
~e whole site, so that will be a part of the whole correction.
RANK CARLIN: So will that have something to do with my problem?
OUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes. The turning around. I'II make a note.
OUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: And, Frank, I brought it up on Commerce and Industry
Committee, and they agreed with you, so we'll work with the Highway Committee
t~ get some signs up. We are working on it.
S JPERVlSOR MURPHY: It does take time, Frank, because it has to go through
tl~e State.
F~,ANK CARLIN: My main comment tonight, is I wonder how many people in
S)uthold Town, 22,365, really understand what this Southold Town cesspool
o~'dinance law is. I don't think too many do, because when I mention it to people
t~ey say, what are you talking about? Well, let me explain what it's all about
from my own experience. A while back, I thought I had some cesspool problems.
S.~ this was on a weekend, so I realized that the cesspool probably hadn't been
p~mped out for awhile, so I didn't want to lift up the lid and all that, so Monday
m)rning when I went back to work, I gave the cesspool man a call. Not mentioning
t?e cesspool company. So he came down, and looked in. He came to the door,
arid said to my wife, Mrs. Carlin the cesspool is only half full. So my wife said,
w,,ql, while you're here pump it out. So he pumped it out, so I get a bill, pump
oLt cesspool $100.00, Southold Town fee $10.00, with tax it's $118.00. Okay.
M'f wife sends a check in, he sends it back, the check and says that was an in-
ccrrect bill. Now I get a bill for $110.00, Southold Town dumping fee $30.00,
s~les tax $10.00. Now I'm up to $150.00, and that's not~inclu~ling my $i0.00 for
the permit. When I called the man up, I said, being that the ordinance law
r~quires that I pay 2 cents per gallon to pump out, it was a penny, now it's 2
c~nts, how do I know how much you pumped out? You don't say on the bill.
D~.n't you have a meter? He said, no, we average it. Well, when you go to buy
g~soline, you want 1~o know how much gas you're pumping out of a pump, don't
ycu? If someone delivers fuel oil ~o your house, you want to know ho~w much
fu~l you're putting in there. So according to him, he must have pumped out
15:)0 gallons to pay $30.00, which I doubt I have a cesspool that's 1500 gallons.
B~ck to the main permit. I knew this was going to get back to the Town, because
I knew he had to report this to the Town, so I get a letter from Mrs. Terry
s.~ying, Frank, you have to fill out an application. Which I did. Mailed it in.
~T.en dollars. Got it back. Here's the letter here. Insufficient information on here.
,They want to know location of the cesspoo , ind cate this by a sketch, diagram,
Ic~cation of buildings, cesspool, distance, feet from bui dings, closest road, arrow
!~dicating north and south. My God, man, I ain't build nga new cess ool here

3UNClLWOMAN OLIVA: Frank, I sympathize with you.
JPERVISOR MURPHY: Finish Frank, and I'll try to explain for you.

APRIL 11, 1989
FRANK CARLIN: It getting tcoquiet here, anyway. Here's the ordinance.
Technically, there's nothing on here said I have to pay for this to be pumped
out, because the way it says here, construction of, modification of cesspool or
new cesspool. This is actually written for a new cesspool. Now, you might have
meant, but you didn't mean what it says here. Now let me read this to you.
In addition a operation permit will be required at the time existing premises are
pumped out of your - septic - tank or cesspool. Now how can I pump out my
premises out of n~y cesspool? Who made this up?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Read it, again, Frank, please.
facetious. I just want to hear how the wording goes again.
facetious. Please.
I'm not being
I'm not being
FRANK CARLIN: "In addition, the operation permit will be required at the time
existing premises are pumped out of septic tank or cesspool solid waste."
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I got you.
FRANK CARLIN: Now, before that, I'll go into, modification permit will be required
for any new or existing work to be conducted on septic tanks or cesspools. So
there's nothing in here that says I have to pay that. Understand what I'm
saying? You know the problem with this, and I'm not addressing only you, Frank,
but the whole Board here, is you're feeing people to death in this Town. If it
ain't this fee, it's yard sales. If it's not yard sales, you increase the your fees
on public permits. What is it, $150.007 $160.00 now? You increase the fee on
the Landfill, which normally we pay taxes on anyway. You're increasing all these
fees. The people in this Town have enough now with taxes, let alone paying
all these extra fees, but this is ridiculous, Frank. You charge me for something
that you don't even indicate how many gallons he pumped out, as far as I'm
concerned is illegal. Let's review this thing. A half of cesspool, I don't know
how much, he says, half or he says $30.00. It had to be 1500 gallons, but he
don't know, and I paid $30.00. Now if it was 2,000 gallons, it would be $40.00.
So I end up for $110.00 job, I end up paying to the Town, $40.00 to have a half
of cesspool pumped out. This don't make sense. You got people living in
this Town, Frank, that are living on fixed incomes. A lot of people on Social
Security checks, they can't go through all this nonsense.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: A lot of people raising families.
FRANK CARLIN: Absolutely. That.adds to the fire. There are a lot of people
that want to build a home, that can't build a home. They want to buy propert~y.
They can't build with two acre.s. Can even afford to _b_g~v two acres let alone put
a house on it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Frank, let me explain the scavenger waste to you. We
received State and Federal aid. We had to build, by law, we had to build, we
had to stop dumping the raw sewage or waste in the landfill. We were contaminating
our own groundwater. We built a. plant. We received92~,'° a little over 92~o,
of federal and state funding, and they mandate that this is to be paic~ for 60%
by user fees, and 40% by assessed valuation in the Town. You pay part of this,
also, the operation of that scavenger waste plant in your tax bill. Two cents a
gallon provides approxima~tely 60% of the revenue to operate that plant. This we
have to do by law, in order for us to receive the gift, which is really not a gift,
it's all coming out of our pockets, we know that, but it came from Washington
and Albany to build this multi-million dollar plant. We would never have been able
to afford it without the State and Federal aid, and this is part of the regulations,
and the regulations concerning the identification and location of tile cesspools is
part of the State and Federal regulations. There will be, and part 'of the record
keeping we have, everytime your cesspool is pumped out, there will be an inspector
sometime in the future starting to come around, and actually checking inspected
cesspools. We did get a variance on that, and that if our records show that your
cesspool has only been pumped out once every ten years, that we don't have to
send an inspector as the law had said every three years. We now, through Bob
Tasker, we were able to strike that out and it held up when we had our rules
and regulations approved, ~nd it is for the benefit of the people. I agree with
you on fees. These fees are mandated because we received over two million dollars
in State and Federal aid.
FRANK CARLIN: Fine, Frank. Very good. But why can't some of these fees..we
pay enough taxes, let some of our tax money go to some of these fees, instead
of making us...
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Some of it does, and the whole idea of fees are those
who are using something more, to pay more than those who are not using.
FRANK CARLIN: You're charging 2¢ a gallon, right? Okay, you want to get
2¢ a gallon, fine. That gives somebody who has less to pay, or somebody has
more to pay amount of waste comincl out of your cesspool, but then you zap them
APRIL 11, 1989 3 I 1
with another $10o00 for the permit." Then you go through all this unneccesary
paper work, fillin9 out all kinds C~f fot'm's here.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This is not unneccessary, Frank. It's part of the law,
When we agreed to accept over two million dollars in 's't'ate and Federal aid. We
have to comply with this. It's unforunate, but we have to comply with this.
FRANK CARLIN: The law says you have to..all these sketches, indicating..like
we're building a house?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Definitely,yes. It's to locate a cesspool, and it's for
your benefit, and your neighbors benefit in the future, so that you know where
these cesspools are, so when there's someone coming to build next to you, will
not be putting their well, because your cesspool is hid. It is now Iocateble, and
we'll know where to locate the well for that other property, so as to prevent some
health problems.
FRANK CARLIN: That should be covered when you apply f6r a building permit.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: When your house was built, this was not done. This
is why. All new construction, yes, this is done.
FRANK CARLIN: Absolutely, new construction. My house was built,.eighty years
ago.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's just what I said.
FRANK CARLIN: Do you have a few more minutes?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sure. We're here
FRANK CARLIN: I still can't see paying the $10.00 permit, though. If you want
to charge 2¢ a gallon, fine, but why the $10.00 permit fee? I don't understand
that. You're getting 2¢ a gallon. You want it all. Okay. I was going to bring up
at another meeting. It will take about ten minutes. Is that alright? I want to
talk about the biggest cesspool we have in Southold Town. On February 26th,
1987, State Department of Environmental Conservation made a report ot Southold
Town~; that they believed that hazardous waste was dumped in the Cutchogue
Landfill, .'a-s early as .1970 and 1980. When I can remember, I lived here 35 years,
and that landfill was open with this salvage waste pit ~,~re for over 35--years.
It must have been way before that. It must have been since the landfill opened
up,.".and at that time, you never had no gauge, you nev.er had no control over
it. It was wide open. People would drive in there coming from all over, all over,
didn't know where they were coming from, and dumping raw sewage into the pit.
Nobody had any control. Nobody. can say they did, because they didn't. Now
you have the gate closed at certain hours. You have a gate there, and a booth.
You had nothing then, and they recommended that Southold Town correct this.
Now we had no liner in.there, in one area. You recognize that Southold Town
correct this, but before this,do-this, make the study of it. In February, in March
the month after, study was made by H2M, and it was found that dangerous toxic
chemicals, oils, chloroform.,or whatever was dumped in that pit, in those years,
and that it is possibly getting into our water at a rate 'of one foot per day. In '
'87 I took pictures of it. Here's what that'biggest cesspool in Southold looked
like. I took it a block away in color, and it's still existing there now, and there's
no way you're going to clean that up. That's been there for years, That's been.
in the ground. That's going in the ground, and you're worrying about my cess-
pool. That's the one you should be worrying about. It was allowed to happen
with no liner. That stuff stayed there for years, right out in the open in the
hot summer months. People didn't realize this. You can see the pictures of it
here. This is '87.' Fermenting. Flies in there. Carrying them all around the
town, germs. Nobody realized that at that time, did they?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's why we built the plant.
FRANK CARLIN: But that's Why you still got that there, too, and what are you
doing about it? I don't think you're going to do much about it, Frank. That's
down in there now. What are you doing about it? You're worrying about., and
I understand that you're pumping out cesspools for environmental reasons, but
that is one of your most important ones riqht there. What are doing about that?
That was allowed to go on for fifty years.- I'm not mentioning the company who
dumped oil in there. I'm not going to mention that company. Oil in there. There's
everything in there. Can you imagine, Frank, for fifty years trucks going in
there every day pumping raw sewage, 'dumping it in there, how much is in there
at a Iow area getting into the water. A man indicates right here, a foot a day,
and that was in t87. I don't know what you're going to do about it, but have
you made study now, and see if this is true. or not~ or what you can do about
it? I don't think you can do anything about it. I think the horse is out of the
barn.

APRIL 11, 1989
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Frank, the reason we built the plant was because of those
lagoons. Those lagoons have been cleaned out about a year and a half now. They've
all been cleaned out. They have been composted with leaf and yard wasl~e, and
they're stabilized, and material that's going to be used in the landfill. The reason
we did that was in compliance with the DEC regulations. That's why we built
the plant that you're complaining about, and why we have to have this. True,
we were contaminating our own groundwater. We're trying to clean it up. There
was no such thing as a scavenger waste plant going back in the 70's, and this
was innovative design. It's working very well, and it's in conjunction with the
Greenport sewer plant. The all~gati'ons about people dumping oil and various
hazardous chemicals are only accusations. They were never documented. There's
a record going back into the late 70's, early 80's on this. It was inspected. We ~
did speak to the people who were accused of it, and quite frankly, I believe the
people who are operating a business in Southold Town at that time, who were
accused of it, I believe that they would never do something like that. They are
a very honorable family, and an excellent employer in this town, and I guarantee
you they never dumped any of this material in. There were stories sevecal years
ago, that it was dumped in, and in actuality the drums were left up there, and
one of the oil .people who came around buying oil at that time, bought it and used
it to incinerate, to heat buildings.
FRANK CARLIN: Frank, you can say you cleaned the top up, but it's right in
the ground.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We know that.
FRANK CARLIN: That's the problem. It's right in the ground. You can say
that you don't believe people dump stuff like that, but you're not there 24 hours
a day. You wasn't here for fifty years. Neither was anybody else.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We're trying to clean up the mess, and to not to ever
allow that to happen again.
FRANK CARLIN: People come in from all over, from out of town with cesspool
waste and dumping it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's why your taxes are hiqh, because we have to
put in precautions, and we have to take remedial action. It cost a lot of money.
Those lagoons were about an acre and a half to two acres a piece, arid they had
about 25 to 30 feet sludge in each one, and do a little mathamatics and you'll see
how much sludge came out of it.
FRANK CARLIN: One more thing. Back to the permit and the cesspool, that the
'nspector comes in, the inspector comes in and looks at your cesspool, so he can
determine.. What happens if the guy looks in, and he'falls in and he gets
completely cove~ed?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Put the lid on.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Don't say a thing.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I couldn't let that go by.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Don't flush t.he toilet.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Are you finished, sir?
FRANK CARLIN: I think so.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else on the left ~ike to address the Town
Board? (No response.) Anyone in the middle? Yes, ma'am?
KATHERINE SIMIClCH: My name is Katherine Simicich. I live on Bergen Avenue,
and I'd like to address my comments to the Carr/Wanat. ] think the Southold
Town Board has lost their credibility as elected officials for the Town of Southold
by downzoning this piece of property on Bergen Avenue. You're going to have
to justify to every person that comes in here, and that wants to get a downzoning,
a zone change, and its on your mind, and it's on your conscience, and I think
we're here for a wake. We're here for the wake of the people of the Town of
Southold. That you don't realize what you did, what kind of Pandora's box you
opened up tonight. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to
address? Sir?
WILLIAM DOBESI: My name is William Dobesi. I live on Bergen Avenue. I want
to talk on the subject that doesn't smell like roses, the one that I think smells
worse. In time to come, you're going to rue the decision you made regarding
APRIL 11, 1989 3 I 3
transferring the property. I think .it's just a ploy, and it will not succeed.
think if we live long enough, we'll rue the decision you made.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I hope not. Thank you. Anyone else in the middle like
to address the Town Board? Sir?
BILL HESS: My name is Bill Hess. I'm adjacent to the Wanat property. I was
fortunate to talk at the Town Board the last time around, and in looking at the
environmental impact statement, I think you, also, created a public beach up on
the Sound. I hope the Town is prepared to provide some, perhaps some life
guard service up there. Basically, you're putting in almost 100 houses, 80 houses,
100 houses. According to. the environmental impact statement you have 2.39 people
per house, so on a nice hot 4th of July, you might have 250 people on the beach.
You might not have enough room on that beach for 250 people. Second of all,
I'm concerned about the safety of all those people, also, the refuse that they
might generate and that type of thing. So it's something that I think we're still
going to see this problem come up again, perhaps in a different form. That's
just a point to bring up.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Anyone else in the middle? (No response.)
Anyone over on the right? Ed?
ED SIEGMANN: I'm Ed $iegman from Mattituck. You listened to me on this subject
for about 2½ years. I think one more day can't hurt. I want to thank you for
your deliberations, and I want to thank you for listening to us. We felt we had
a real problem that had to be solved. We didn't care for it to become an issue
between two neighborhoods. We would have preferred that it hadn't. We think
you had a hard decision to make, and we're hoping when all the emotions die
down, that everyone will realize that your decision was made for the benefit of
Mattituck and Southold as a whole. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Anyone else over on the right? (No resonse~)
