discuss the pending res.gnation of the Board's Stenographer Linda Kowalski. Mr.

her to one of the three titles for which she appears on civil service lists: Assistant
Site Plan Reviewer, Zoning Inspector, Administrative Assistant. Councilman Penny

Program, met with the Board to review the first month of the new program. Mr. Kaplan
submitted a computer analysis of the payments to date to providers, and a breakdown
of the charges.. Workmen's Compensation was discussed, and since no one is following
the cases closely enough, Mr. Kaplan was asked to submit a proposal to the Board to
undertake the workmen's compensation program on the Town's behalf.--On another

to upgrade the computer system by the addition of 8 mg of main memory (see resolution

COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you, Frank. May 23rd, the evening after the
last Town Board meeting, George Penny and I entered negotiations with the PBA. ~
Spent all evening doing that. On May 24th, we had a very good meeting with the
Suffolk County Authority concerning, basically, Captain Kidd and their need to
protect the watershed area around Laurel Lake. We had a Code Committee meeting
on May 24th. We were there to discuss the KOA and the request to go back to
the original resort-residential designation that would allow townhouses in an "R"
district. That has yet to be discussed further. We discussed some concerns,
concerning the site plan, which were reso!ved..'. We, also, reviewed the ordinance
-for the storage trailer law, which is okay;' and I think will be going on. Open
Space meeting was May 25th. We discussed several properties that we have in
consideration, and the Committee, also, passed by una[timous resolution to approve
the Town's decision to spend a million dollars for the acquisition of the Baxter
property. Just yesterday, June 5th, we had another Police Committee meeting
to discuss negotiations, which were taken to the Town Board today. On May
31st to June 2nd, I went up to Cornell to attend a 'recycling conference, and I
came back with literally a stack of material, that high, which will be put into Jean's
bookcase after I'm finished looking at it. There are some very interesting facts.
JUNE 6, 1989 3 9 5
There are,according to Mr. Frank-McNally from the New York State Legislature
Commission on Solid Waste, there'S i~4~0'-~00,000 in EQBA funds for resource
recovery. What he would like the Towns to do is pass resolutions and asking
that money be reallocated for recycling, and he gave us the number of the bills
and I'll be offering those resolutions. Also, there's a bill for the collection of
recycables, also for hazardious waste collection, and by the way, I did tell him
about out own hazardous waste building. They were most impressed, and I'm sure
Frank will be getting some calls on how other Towns can proceed in that manner.
Basically, with recycling the best thing to do is to keep it simple,so that people
will comply. The fewer containers, the better. The one town did it just with
big clear plastic bags that you could see if the materials in it were just recycled,
and this gentleman from Skinnyatlis had very good results with it. He was
actually recycling over 50%. We, also, had people from the Town of Hempstead,
and they were recycling paper, glass, and cans, but not plastic. They thought
they were collecting .about 10% to 15%, and hoped to up that a couple more percent
with plastic recycling. Also, the people from the Department of Economic Development
are going around region to region to try to interest the business community into
going into going into business to make new products out of these recycled materials.
The main thing, too, is to remember that recycling is very important. It's not
going to make you money at this stage of the game. It probably will cost money,
but it does keep these things out;of the wastestream, and it's certainly better for
everybody that it does not go into our composting, or for that matter, and for
those going into incineration. There's some real neat different kinds, if anyone
wants to look at them, circulars that some people have. They have them in cartoon
fashion, and every other kind of thing. One fellow that I really liked, was the
fellow that does from the news service there, and he thought if you could set up
contests, and you could create like the golden can award for the ones who did
it the most, or you could do some art work. Who ever could do the best art work
with all the recycled materials, to give a prize to them. You could have recycling
olympics. Paper bailing. How fast can you bail paper. Toss paper. How many
can toss this one into a bailer, and things like that. You could really generate
some interest with a lot of different fun things. He was really very good to listen...
to. That's it. Thank you, Frank. ~
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: On the 23rd, we had the Pqlice Committee meeting, a lengthy
meeting on negotiations. On the 24th, I attended the special Town Board meeting
where we voted unanimously to acquire Fort Corchaug. I think it's probably a
little too early to hear the results from that, but I understand that we have an
excellent chance of getting this in conjunction with the County, because we're
offering cash money with no contingencies, no development plans that have to be
filed or approvals that have to be met, and so the County feels very strongly that
we have an excellent chance of being awarded the bid. From what I understand,
the other bidder, North Fork Bank, has required a length of time for certain permits
and applications to be filed, and certain approvals to be given, and I think they
were talking about a project that would probably last two years, so I would think
that the Surrogate's Court may lean in our direction. On the 24th, I attended
the Town Board meeting with the Suffolk County Water Authority, and the result
is a resolution which we're going to be working on tonight. On the 5th, which
was yesterday, we had another Police Committee meeting regarding final negotia-
tions, and we brought the results to the Town Board today. On the 5th, also,
I met with Victor Lessard of the Building Department, and Jay Schondebare, our
Attorney, and we went over the ~pecs for the new Town Hall annex. The result
is, we're awarding the bid tonight. That's it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: On the 24th, I, also, attended the meeting of the Suffolk
County Water Authority with Dave Ross presiding as main speaker for them. They
came in with a very positive attitude, stating that they will assist the Town in
all areas, and that we are included in their territory as an area that the Suffolk
Water Authority is permitted to come in. They had agreed with our experts, and
in reviewing all areas that have been studied by Bob Villa and Mark McDonald,
that the North Fork is very fragile, and has a limited water supply, that is threatened
by increased development without a contingency plan on how to preserve our water
resource. They have pledged to give us a coordinated long term supply plan and
their first area of concern is the Lake Laurel watershed area. We have a main
water zone there, that they would like to use for future water supply for the North
Fork. They did state that, for the North Fork, that our main water supply will
come from the core watershed, and they agree that this area needed protection.
They, also, said that Countywide they felt 100 square miles needed protection,
which was 10% of the County. In our core watershed area is, also, 10% of our
land mass. So the perimeters established by the core watershed area, and the
perimeters established by the Water Advisory Committee, although it has not been
determined exactly how we will get a water supply from this area~ they do agree.
We will be, tonight, petitioning the Suffolk County Water Authority to come into
our area. Another interesting fact that they mentioned was that they do not want
the 50 gallon per minute wells that have been approved in subdivisions abutting
396
JUNE 6, 1989
the waterfront that have an existing fragile wate'r-supply with the threat of saltwater
intrusion exists. They don't want to take these over, and they don't want to look
into this area as future distribution systems. They basically said, that these areas
should not have installed...small water systems should not have been installed in
these areas to begin with, and they're not interested in taking them over in the
long term. Any type of mains would be paid for by the developers, therefore the
existing resident in the Town would not bear the cost of providing water to a high
density .... ,,,h;,-h ,,,~..~,~ ho the core wat~r~h~4 ~,¢= T~ ~ l~,~ He,City area, ~llnwjng
for hamlet density. That type of thing would not borne by the taxpayer, and
they will work with our staff for a long term manaqement plan, so this is the type
of professionalism that we have been seeking, and-it was a very positive meeting.
The Code Committee, also, met that evening on the 24th. A non-agenda item was
the "R" zone in the KOA, which is located right outside of Greenport. Prior to --
the Master Plan, this had been granted a use as-a campground, and it was tied
into this use by a ZBA decision. They are looking for allowable townhouse uses,
and the owner is Richard Wilton, who is the President of the Chamber of Commerce,
and he is allowed hotel-motel usage on the propert'y now. He feels that he is being
put in a hardship case, because the waterfront areas will develop quicker for hotel-
motel uses than he would, because he's not located directly on the waterfront.
However, he is one of the only areas that could provide immediate relief for the
hotel-motel crunch, that we are. feeling, that we would like to provide within the
Town, but he doesn't seem to want to go in this direction. He would rather go
in the direction of townhouses, however he has the only available public water
and sewer, so he'd by able to readily implement a hotel-motel and submit a site
plan for this under the existing code. We, also, discussed ili,censed trailers
and our site plan, which we have passed already. I attended the Boater Pollution
Workshop, where we were told that there are 5,000 more boats owned in Suffolk
County and licensed than three years. There's been an overall 17% increase,
the majority of them,40% of them are between 40 and 64 foot length. Education
came out as a very..was one of the main incentives for the public. The boats ~
don't pollute. The boaters pollute. It was a very involved conference with much
to report. Rather than to go into elaborate detail with this meeting, I'm having
the notes correlated, and distributed for the Town Board. 1, also, attended the
dedication of the 12 acres of the Wickham farm into the Suffolk County Farmland
Preservation Proqram. The Wickhams felt that, what they stressed and reiterated
times is that if you're interested in long term farming on the North Fork, that
you will put your land into a farmland preservation program. That way you sell
you development rights, you receive revenues, which gives you an incentive to --
farm and you're avoiding the inheritance tax, which will eventually put farmers
out of business when they inherit land on a long term basis. Mr. Wickham worked
with Suffolk County in formulating the plan, and he is an extreme backer of it.
I met with the Recreation Department, and we have set up interviews in Jean
Cochran's absent, since she's Chairman of the Committee, set up interviews for
our summer program of personnal, and we'll be moving forward on that. Thank
you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Raymond.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Thank you, Frank. On the 24th, I also, attended the core
meeting and the Water Advisory meeting. I guess three or four years I was on
the Town Board when we opted to bring the Suffolk County Water Authority into
the Town of Southold, and there was much dissension in the public and on the Board
that we opted to do this, and they are coming back in again. On the 26th on
Fishers Island, Mr Murphy and Paul Roth from the DEC, flew over the Fishers
Island. We had a meeting with Elliot Upstein, E.A., consultants out of Boston
regarding a composting proposal that this company did for the people of Fishers
Island. When it all came down the pass, the compost facility was over a million
dollars against the incinerator that they had planned on the Island over a million
dollars, and on the 27th, at the Fishers Island Civic Association spring meeting,
one of the commissioners of the Garbage District came out in public and said that
Fishers Island is now going to, in the future when everything is said here in
Southold, is going to bus their garbage from Fishers Island to New London, from
New Long to Orient Point, from Orient Point to Cutchogue. So here we go with
another Islip barge. Other than that, that's it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. I think you're a little mixed up on
your facts on several years ago on the Water Authority, but 1'11 talk to you at
another time.

V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll move on to Item 5, resolutions, and I'd like to remind
the people in the audience, that if you'd like to address the Town Board on any
proposed resolution, please do so now. We will reserve a time after the regular
meeting to entertain any comments on any other things of concern to anyone in
the audience. So at this time, anyone like to speak on a proposed resolution?
Yes?
GEORGE WETMORE: Supervisor Murphy. Members of the Town Board. As you
know, I was here two weeks ago, and I'm speaking-in reference to resolution, I
believe, is #31, the sizing of resort suites. I am speaking on behalf of the
Greenport-Southold Chamber of Commerce, tonight, being it's vice-president, and
approximately 200 of the better businesses in Southold and Greenport. I have
been instructed to inform you, .they are totally opposed to a size limitation on
all suite resort motels. The letter we se' to you, and all the appropriate forms
to show you how to guarantee transit use only of these rooms regardless of size
and is enforceable, where this proposed law is not enforceable for specific use and
does not address use. We believe voting down this size proposal and using our
strict code enforcement rules will insure you, the people of Southold Town, and
the people of the biggest community of transits filling the deluxe resort suite room
with a quality clientele you have never seen in this town. I, also, spoke today
to Robert Klotch, president of the Mattituck Chamber of Commerce. He said they,
also, were just as strongly opposed to this law on size of deluxe resort suites,
and it made no sense, and didn't limit use. Please, ladies and gentlemen, vote
this exercise down. Thank you.

regarding the Suffolk County Reliance on the Defense Industry, and this is, quote,
from their studies. Long Island has played a crucial role in the State of New York.
It is the high-tech center of State with some 2,000 technology companies employing
almost 100,000 people. Half of the State's Federal defense contracts are awarded
to Long Island companies. The region has a population larger than 21 states. It
is consistently ranked in national surveys among the country's most desirable
406

places to live, having one of the highest levels of disposable income. In recent
years Long Island has enjoyed unsurpassed prosperity, with unemployments at
record lows. It is a key componant of the economy of the entire State and a
national significant economic center. However, there are warning signs that the
fabric of prosperity is beginning to unravel. As a newly published Long Island
Regional Planning Board study points, the forces that contributed to Long Island's
rapid economic growth during the 1980's, the massive national defense buildup,
the rapid growth of financial and related service jobs in the city of New York,
the migration of back office jobs to Long Island, and the catch-up of population
serving jobs to prior population growth on Long Island have run their course.
Defense spending has already dropped off resultio~-in the loss of 10,000 jobs in
1987-88, and a permanent dec!ine in this sector ~'~f as much as 30% is anticipated.
More profoundly the resource that has susta'.~e~,,the region's growth since the end
of the Second World War, including vacant c~eao,'land (Tape change.) Some of
Long Island historical assets could become li~b~ties. It's special character as a
fragile island, environment not only creates ,special environmental concerns, but
also, limits the region's economic development options. Consequently, knowledge
based industry, environmentally benign industry that depends upon the g[eneration
application of new knowledge, and the sustained product on of new knowledge workers
in ideally suited assets for Long Island. The high-tech resources developed by
the defense sector and regional .participation in the Naser Space Program, including
the technology support, etc. are precisely those required for the development of
border knowledge based industry. While defense will continue to play a vital role
in Long Island's economy, it's impact will diminished. The new areas of strength
needed to sustain the region into the new century only way may be developed by
building upon the existing high technology factors. And Stony Brook University
goes into an analysis throughout it's report, that is available in the Town Clerk's
Office, I'm sure, of developing the high knowledge technology resources for Long
Island economy for the future. I just thought this was very interesting, and I
wanted to add that.

COUNCILMAN PENNY: I'd just like to comment that I'm going to abstain at this

Wetmore have requested that they be able to give some i~put on this, and I'm
going to abstain from passing this, and I hope that this will go back to the Code
Committee, so these people can give us the imput directly. This has been a little..
it seems like it got a little confrontational when we really should be sitting down
and working with these people, as I mentioned after the public hearing the last
time. So I'm going to abstain on this. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other comments?
'JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'm going to abstain, also. I'm going to explain why I'm
going to abstain. Because Mr. Wetmore was told, today, that this would not be

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At this time, I'll hold the last resolution;' It's a memorial
resolution for a former Trustee, who died yesterday, and ask if any Town Board
members have any further comments, starting on my left with Ray.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I'd'just like to comment on the resolution for the 600
square foot maximum allowable square footage per hotel room limit for the Town.
At the prior Code Committee meeting, which Council~han Edwards was not present
at, we had distributed for the review of the Committee, including the Chamber
of Commerce, a study that was performed by the Long Island Regional Planning
Board, a motel survey,and analysis, and a discussion of recommendations and
possible alternatives. This was based on a study that, this was based on the
existing code in the Town of Easthampton. At that time in Easthampton, anything
greater than 400 square feet was considered a dwelling unit. Whereas, comparatively
in the Town of Southold, anything greater than 800 square feet is considered a
dwelling unit. The findings of the Planning Board were as follows: One considera-
tion might be helpful to the motel industry in soliciting family transient patronage
and would allow adjacent room direct assess, so that adults and children might
have connecting rooms. However, the design should be that such both units have
outside hallways or doors, and connecting rooms to allow for separation. Every __
unit whether attached this way or not should be required to provide its own
parking. This was a recommendation that we discussed, not based on this
analysis, but common sense says, if you want larger room you have connecting
and adjourning rooms. So this was tossed around at the meeting. Some motel
industry members have requested that a liberal increase be allowable for room
sizes up to 1,000 square feet. They have suggested that if this were allowed,
the motel density per acre would drop, and therefore preclude the need to set
a unit per acre density limit. In other words, you would need to set a limit on
how many units per acre. While this might happen, the fear of the legal conver-
sion to apartments still would exist. This might, also, raise the environmental
concerns because it is known that water consumption and sewage disposal increase
when moving from what can be locked in .as transient to a potential apartment unit,
when the overall effect of per parcel would depend on how many units of motels
given up for a certain number. The Suffolk County Department of Health Services
estimates the following: A motel unit, and this was based at 400 square feet as
the maximum allowable at the time, would be 200 gallons per day. Apartments,
which was anything greater than 400, were 300 gallons per day for a single bedroom
and 400 gallons per day for two bedrooms. A condo, which is something you can
rent for a long term, which would be these units, if they were greater than 800
square feet, allowing for kitchen, bathrooms, dining rooms, living rooms and bed-
rooms would be 600 gallons per day, and it, also, could be interpret as single
family dwelling units, which would be 900 gallons per day. They went on to say,
while it can be argued that motel building designs themselves can do much to
impart positive impressions among users. It is generally the relationship of these
structures to their natural settings, open space, view options, everything that ~
you've talked about, you're all discussed, landscaping, and water access. They've
given provisions of recreational opportunities to attract the patronage. Given this,
those which maximize the unit density and required parking at the sacrifice of
setting and recreational opportunities, do much to discourage the patronage of
long term tourism and establish characters that are not in keeping with the Town's
comprehensive master goal, which are the same as ours. Tourism is a major
industry. Farming and fishing as a background. So this was my reason for
vQting for it. Also, Councilman Penny and yourself had distributed, Councilman
Penny had distributed this piece of literature that shows the 800 square footage
that are recommending...
COUNCILMAN PENNY: 700 was the maximum that they allowed.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Right. 700, excuse me, which was basically built in
twenty-three story one support hot6!, The 15 story guest court hotel, which was
for high usage. Then when you go to the back, it says, suite unit areas standards
JUNE 6, 1989 41
for moderate, which is considered-m0de~ca;te,;t's 475 sq~a~'e feet. Upscale is con-
sidered 590 square feet. Deluxe is ~bn~i;dered 700 squ~re feet, which we have voted
not to implement in the Town because of the reasons that were outlined on all the
studies, but we have addressed everything in allowing this 600 square feet, including
moderate and upscale which allow for everything that you're talking about. Going
one step further. With the controversy, it becomes evident that tourism and motel
an~lysisare extremely complicated and involves social issues. Research facts on
the subject it has been found have been sparse. The Chamber of Commerce has
not provided us with any statistical information to base this on concerning the
retail sa es, the tourist or the growth rates suggested for the Town. You have
simply said you want 900 units at this 800 density, when in fact we can put units
in a 350, we feel this is a great compromise. In determining policies for motel
development an important first step is to set goals. This is represented by the
dichotomy that is between the Chamber of Commerce at this point. The Town
economy has not susceptible to a loss of revenue for too many motels. In other
words, our economy is not based on motels right now° We would like to bring
motels into the Town, and add that to our economy. It can be assumed from most.
people interviewed that the Chamber of Commerce imput is from motel owners, and
perhaps some real estate agents, while Ruth and I somewhat represent the environ-
mental groups. With this in mind I felt on based on comprehensive plan for the
Town's major goals and obiectives,~'to represent a broader overview which we can
summarize and try to agree on as follows: To retaih the attractive role qualities
atmosphere immenities to the Town. i don't think that there would be..I expect
that they should find little disagreement between the several varying viewpoints
on this. We would like to encourage seasonal residents to spend their summers
in Southold, and to promote tourism, and recreation as a major industry in this
Town. This probability is generally agreed upon and any significant disagreement
is a matter of degree to which the tourism is promoted. To conserve and protect
the Town's groundwater supply, which I outlined before, through the use of land
use and development controls, and to discourage premature development for motel
units withour substantial discussion on it, which I feel that we've had through
the Code Committee. We would like to provide as much public access to the water
as possible for non-.,riparian landowners, although this access does not have to
be excusively public. Private facilities are open to the publi~:. For a fee beach
clubs, marinas, boat ramps, camps. We want fishing clubs. We want yacht clubs.
It's a large part of the public demand, and we want to continue to do so in the
future. To permit development in certain areas around the bay, we have objected
to. Harbors. We'd like to see harbors maintained for recreational use and tourist
use, including the existing resturants, and we'd like to plan for the location of
commerce within the Town. To simply ban any type of future motel use would
be impractical, costly and could be detrimential to the future vitality of the Town's
resort industry. Since a degree of change is normal for any region and change
can be destructive, especially one with Southold Town's characteristic, the primary
question still relates to the direction of change we are going to take. There are
two types of tourist in Southold Town. There are second home residents, and
transient type. Both are beneficial. Both are desirable. I don't want to lean
towards any one, because in a recession economy we need both the second home
owner and the tourist. We have to depend on the second home owner in a
recession, and we need the tourist in the periods of prosperity. We have researched
this premise of 600 square feet and we feel that hotel and motel development is
beneficial if it's properly controlled and the objectives are developed concerning
the direction of motel development. Again, we emphasize that the objectives that
we are going outline, I am specifically, I can't speak for Ruth, but we campaign
together, and w,e work together, so I'm sure she would agree with me, to fill the
goals that we specified in the Master Plan. The rural seaside charm of the area
should not affected by motel development. We see concentrated development near
the village and towns, to concentrate it in clusters, to locate it on larger tracts
of land, to be located where the maximum setbacks are beneficial, where traffic
circulation has the least impact. Motel development is to be the type of which is
to be most beneficial to the economy, located near supported facilities, where services
are least requested, be the type which provides all year employment and be the
type that economic impact may be extended into the off season as well. If you're
truly concerned with providing year-round empl?yment. You can easily address the
size limitation of your room to 600 square feet. Yes, .you can, and you have not
addressed the size of a conference room. That has not been one of your concerns.
YoLrconcerns primarily lay with allowing these condo type uses, which basically
are unelforceable. Much of this has been distributed through the Code Committee,
and I feel you are hurting yourself at this time by taking an uncompromising
position on this. That other areas have far more stringent regulations and the
Town of Southold doesn't want to see the implementation of condos. We want to
keep this open. We're willing to allow it. Certain areas before the Planning Board
for hotel/motel uses are coming in at under 600 square feet now with no problem.
I'm sorry that this can't be worked out. Perhaps you'd end up with 350 square
foot density, but I think your Code Committee has done their research and has
been willing to compromise. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. George?
JUNE 6, 1989
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Just that there's obviously two sides of the story, and
I hope that the Chamber representatives are invited to the Code Committee meeting
as some of the other groups have been able to be invited to Code Committee with
problems that they have with the Town legislation. I kind of apoligize. George
is being put on the spot here. Some of his reference material was presented to
the Code Committee, none of Chamber representatives were present, and I'm sorry
they did not get to participate in this. I hope that this opportunity will come up,
so that your side can be presented in the near future. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Just about three points. Number one, there was nothing~
presently in the Code that has-any type of square footage for motels, so it can
be 250 square feet. Number two, ! thought that 600 square feet was more than
sufficient. I was just in a motel. I measured it off. It was 350 square feet. It
was a lot, and believe me, it was a very nice sized room. I see no reason to go
beyond that. The Planning Board's rationale was, do not put it at 850 square
feet, because of going to condominium use. You have presented certain things
that you could put into the Code. I do not think they are enforceable. I, also,
take exception to the fact that you~ always worried about the economic impact.
I feel if it goes to a condominium use, they are assessed at a lower value, there-
fore they will not give as much tax benefit t~) the Town as just a straight motel
would do. And that's all I'm going to say about that at the present time. The
only thing I would like to say is that the co-op extension is also promoting home
composting. Perhaps you can put this in your paper. I think it's a wonderful
idea. I do it myself. You put your leaves, your garden waste, your vegetables
in it, and you have nice healthy plants when you turn it over and put it around
them. Good night.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. Anyone else in the audience like to
address the Town Board at this time?
GEORGE WETMORE: Do I get a minute for rebuttal? These people are locked into
a position they adopted. They did not consult the motel industry. They just
decided with the Planning Board, and a few very select individuals, that this is
what they're going to do, and the h--- with everybody. And this is the way it
works. You're in competition with the whole east coast. We're trying get a primary,
draw resort. We want one. That's all. We know there's two being applied for.
Number two. You're not listening to us. We are sincere and honest in what we
say. We don't care if you put up 200 square foot homes. You can not stop the
guy from living there with the present Code unless you do what I've got in there,
and, Ellen, you told me and you never even looked it up, so how can you comment
on my recommendations as to if they're good, bad or indifferent. Your recommenda-
tions into the Code book, page, chapter and verse.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I didn't tell you that.
GEORGE WETMORE: If you read it you would understand that I'm not here to
simply say 200 square foot, 10,000 square foot. I'm talking about use, and use
is what we're concerned with, transit use. We know by the way this is worded,
and by the Zoning Code, the way it's structured, residents does not allowed
in the RR zone, and I don't know how you can construe it otherwise. Technically
you say if you have 250 square foot, then it becomes a legal two bedroom apartment.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: No, I didn't say that.
GEORGE WETMORE: Here, again, in.the Code it says, no residents allowed, transit
use only. Then you're referred back to resort hotel code, and it says on a daily
rental fee basis, only, and we want what I have written into those two pages of
the Code together with, I don't what penalties are on the Town Code for violiation,
I think it's $250.00. Jay could probably quote me the exact penalties. It's very
enforceable, believe me. I know. ] had one guy try to get me arrested for taking
out of the parking lot down at one motel here recently, but I will uphold the rules.
Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I don't doubt you're upholding the rules, George, but
I also question the impact on the water supply, which I had ...
GEORGE WETMORE: The second thing is, everybody that runs these sites has
to be licensed. Usually with a broker's license , and nobody is going to play
any books or anything else to create any fraud to put his license on the line for
some jerk that wants to stay an extra day in a motel. 1'11 guarantee you that.
Besides the fact that if he stays there it's costing him revenue on the . So,
I wish you would look at it from the other side, and see that we are sincere. I
think we're both looking for the same thing, if you step back and look. We're
not out to hurt the motel industry. We're not out to kill the tourist. We would
like to see a source resort, something like a Montauk Yacht Club, or a Guerneys.
Guerneys is a dirty word to me, because it's time-share. I hate time-shares. But
on a transit use basis I'd love to See 100 or 150 slip marina, a nice 200 seat
resturant, maybe 150 to 200 unit deluxe resort motel. One. We don't have any.
And after we got that, maybe Jack will fill in of seasons, and a few of the
others, and then if they make a little money maybe they'll upgrade their units.
We're not looking at 1,000 units. My god, we're just trying to get, what? I think
you have applications for right now 200 rooms, maybe 220. And that's probably
all you're going to get for the next 15 years, so please, I like to sit down with
the Code Committee because I wasn't consulted the last time, and all this stuff
was arrived at without consulting the industry or the experts who handle this
thing on a daily basis, and remembering that we are in competition not on Long ~.
Island with a tourist, so called luxury unit. We're in a resort area luxury area.
It's a little bit different. Our rooms will have to be larger for a different reason.
Where they're luxury to those people, is 300 to 400 square feet room because they're
used to a 200 foot square room. You get what I'm saying, and if you go into Las
Vegas or something else I'm sure they got the 800 or 900 square foot rooms. But
our objective is to limit use, and that I'm 100% agreement with you. Size does
not limit use. You see, you haven't listened to me on that, because in the Code
there's nothing that limits use, and what I've given you is the tools to limit use,
to strictly transit use and I think I've solved the problem for you, and I don't
expect you-to take it up tomorrow night or Thursday night, but please put it on
the agenda before you bring this up again. Let's try to hash it out and get some-
thing that makes sense.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Anyone else in the audience? (No response.)
At this time before closing we'll have a resolution I'd like to ask George Penny
to read it, who was a friend of George Bird, who was a former Trustee. I, also,

a great asset to the Town and we will miss him. George, you want to read that?
