for development of municipal solid waste management systems. MK-Environmental
Services booklet on file in the Town Clerk's Office. Mr. Batalias offered their
services to provide the Town with alternatives to best serve the interests of the
Town of Southold. They could provide for the total waste generated by the Town,
requiring no capital investment by the Town, and dispose of all the waste without

Management Task Force will study the information.

Petersen reviewed his memorandum' relative to post-referendum waste disposal
options. He said the Board, in addition to reviewing alternatives to composting,
may wish to consider approaches which would allow the compost project to proceedr
but with a significantly altered structure to address the views of the public as
expressed at the polls. Restructuring alternatives could include changes to the
financing and ownership structure, changes to the business structure and changes
to the physical structure of the project as it was originally conceived. Mr. Petersen
went into depth on each point. Mr. Desmarais said Daneco is sti~l interested in
negotiating with the Town. He suggested a meeting be scheduled with the DEC to
keep them informed of the direction the Town is moving.---Mr. Desmarais also
discussed additional engineering fees which have been incurred by H2M due to
change orders to the Exit Truck Scale (see resolution no. 38).

I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The first item on the agenda are reports. These are
all on file.i~ the Town Clerk's Office.
1. Town Justice Price Monthly Report for October, 1989.
2. S.C.I.S.C.C. Program Agenda for November 9, 1989, and Minutes of
October 13, 1989 meeting.

4. Dimension Cable Services Monthly Report for October, 1989.
5. North Fork Animal League Inspection Report for November 20, 1989.
6. Town Police Department Monthly Report for October, 1989.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At-this time, I'd like to ask the Councilman, if they have
anything special to 'report,' starting on my right with Ruth Oliva.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you, Frank. We had our Commerce and Industry
Committee meeting, which the Chairman will report on. On November 16th, we
had our Farmland Preservation Committee meeting. We are looking at several pro-
perties. We are getting the appraisals, which are on for resolution to send to
the County for inclusion in the County Farmland Program, and we've had-about
13 responses to the letters, that were sent out to all landowners of ten acres or
more. We're hopeful of getting more properties into the Farmland Preservation
Program. On November 20th, we went to a recycling meeting over at Southampton,
and Jean is really Chairman of the Education Committee. !'11 let her report on
that. On November 27th, last night, I attended the Greenport Utility Committee
meeting. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. On the 15th, we had a Commerce and Industry
Committee meeting. We discussed the potential for the Town for appointing an
Industrial Development Committee, and the way it was left, is that I hope the
Commerce and Industry Committee would be able to handle this aspect, at least
initially. Our intent is to channel new business requests through the Commerce
and Industry Committee, to develop literature to refer potential customers to us,
and that literature that can, possibly, be mailed out, and made available in all
Town Departments, so that if a new business does want to locate in Southold Town,
that they're channeled to the appropriate members of the Commerce and Industry
Committee, for their imput, and feedback, and assistance. I just received a draft
copy of a piece of literature from John Berryman, in response to this, which I
haven't had time to go over yet, but we'll be fine tuning it at our next meeting.
We discussed the Planning Board, and selection of Planning Board members. We
NOVEMBER 28, 1989 1 8 i
discussed the status of the Southold~?~bt~n' Promotion Committee budget. We discussed
the peddling ordinance, and fiscal and regulatory impact ordinance, which are
going to be coming up, I believe tomorrow night at the Code Committee. On 11128
Supervisor-elect Scott Harris, and I, visited George's Santitation. I believe the
exact location is Quoque, but it may be Westhampton. It's run by George Mathis,
who's working very closely with the Town of ;"Soi~thampton in recycling, and helping
them getting over some of the real heavy duty problems, that is coming up with
the dump closure, such as construction debris, and land clearing debris. George
will be visiting with us on Thursday. We're going to meet with our local carters
here, and get some ideas on ways to handle some of bulky waste, and the rec¥clable
wastes. He's got quite an operation over there. It's amazing the money that
can be spent in garbage, or the money to be made in garbage. I mean, he told
us what his payroll was, what he paid for the plant, and how much some of the
equipment cost there, and it is just astronomical. It shows that private industry
can provide us with a lot of our solutions, and still at a fairly realistic rate. His
rates are about half of what I've heard coming from other places on the island
c[oser to Huntington, so we'll be discussing all of this. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: George, just a clarification, just what I wanted to
ask you earlier, it's this coming Thursday?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Okay. I didn't know if it'was a week from Thursday,
or this Thursday. Thank you. Well, it was reasonable quiet with the holiday
and Town Hall being closed for a little bit, but on November 15th, I did have
a meeting here with Jim McMahon a'nd myself, and three representatives from three
high schools. I reported this to the Town Board this morning. It was a very
positive, productive meeting. We met with Dr.- Nephew from Southold, I~lr. Ellwood
from Greenport, and Mr. Christie from Mattituck,'in relation to the Substance
Abuse Committee and placing the DARE Program into the schools. The DARE Program
presently is being offered to, I believe, it's 91 schools within Suffolk County,
through the Suffolk County Police Department. It's one of the few programs,
that have been developed by both educators and law enforcement, and it's got
a proven record. It's one of the programs, that you can measure. It's been
successful. I't started in Los Angelos, and has spread throughout the United
States. All three schools..we did not have to do too much convincing, as they
came to the door, and the materials I had sent out to them, prior to the meeting,
they came in and they were three positive people, agreeing to place these into
the schools as a part of their curriculum, the DARE Program. So, the Substance
Abuse Committee, we had a meeting of the committee following at five o'clock,
and of course, everyone was delighted that things are moving along as well as
they are. On November 20th, as Ruth stated, she and I traveled over with B~l~ty
Jessup, who also, is a representative of the Town to the ER2A, or E2RA, I can
never say it, but all I want to say is equal rights amendment, the recycling meeting
over in Southampton for the five East End Towns. Again, it was just a rehashing
and not really, too much going on, because unfortunately, or fortunately, it depends
on your point of view I guess, the players in the game have changed, so there
was myself, Ruth, two other ladies, and Hodwell, were the only ones there, and
were some of the people that were the main functioners within, if that's a word,
this group have not been reelected. The committee, right now, seems to just
kind of be in limbo, and it's unfortunate because Hod did r~port, that there are
more State funds available, that would be coming down, and of course, it effects
the whole recycling concept for the five East End town, as a joint venture in
developing the MURF over at Westhampton, and so on and so forth, so it's my
suggestion to those newly elected officials, that they do an immediate contact with
your Southampton supervisor, and your other five East End to keep this committee
rolling along, because they were making progress, and time is the essence. It
would be unfortunate to let a lapse in this committee take_ place. On the 26th,
we had the dedication scheduled for Laurel and of course, the weatherman on
the radio and television all morning, kept telling me it was going to clear by noon.
Of course, by 1:00 o'clock, the schedule of the dedication, it had not cleared,
but we went through with the dedication, anyhow. The group wasn't as large
as we had hoped. In fact, it was quite small, but we felt that we would still
cut a ribbon, and had a young person cut the ribbon~ and so on, and so forth.
So, hopefully, the pictures that were taken by Jim McMahon will be furnished
to the press, so that people know that it was dedicated. Other than that, Frank,
I think that's it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Thank you, Frank. it was very quiet throughout
the holidays. The only thing, that I have to report on now, was a trip that I
took to Shelton, ConnectiCUt, and while I was there I toured the landfill in Shelton,
which is about 30 miles north of Bridgeport, located in the same area as Vansonnia
and Derby. Shelton is a small city, about 33 square miles, with a population of
'182
NOVEMBER 28, 1989
35,000, a~d adversely or conversely to what's happening on the eastern end of
Long Island. The city of Shelton has been trying to force the state of Connecticut,
to close their landfill. They have a sign outside of it, that says land full, which
stated exactly the situation they had reached, and they are total capacity. The
landfill is located directly on the Housatonic River, and the reason that the State
has not be able to close the landfill is because they can't find room to dump the
garbage. They can't find any additional site, or can they site anyplace to put
the ash from the incinerator plant. We had discussed this on the Town Board
during the past year, when we had looked into incineration, briefly, the problems
that they were encountering in Connecticut. They're going to eastern rural
Connecticut now, to try to .site additional places to dispose of the ash. They
have started, in Connecticut, they have a 1991 manadatory recycling law, that
comes into effect, and in their small community they started a recycling effort,
that's run by volunteers. The recycling station is set up at the Police Department.
They run it once a month, on the third Saturday of the month, from 8 o'clock
to 1 o'clock. They're only recycling approximately .5% of their garbage right
now, even though there were lines that, if you didn't get there by about quarter
to eight, you could expect to be on line for a good 45 minutes. Quite a few people
are participating, but in a population of 35,000. ~lt's getting the right idea to
the people. I, als0, had read Mirtis Mixon's article on the Waterfront Revitalization
in Greenport, and as Greenport was as prior to study of, a Federal study, I guess,
to look at Waterfront areas in the north east, that are trying to capitalize them
in nautical and maritime character, and I went and looked at Norwalk, Connecticut,
which was mentioned in the article, since it was right on the way, and they set
up a seaquarium there, which is a tourist attraction. I know the marine aquarium
was proposed in Greenport several years ago, and I understand that there may
be a little bit of interest to get that back on the burner, at that point, so that
would be something I look forward to working with in the future. Thank you,
Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Raymond?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: After the last Town Board meeting, I came over here, on
the 17th. I had quite a bit of justice paper work to do in the court office, and
also, a slew of motor vehicle applications, which I took care of. I flew back
early Saturday morning on the 18th, and the Town Board flew over for the critical
environmental area hearing. I'm surprised no one mentioned that. It was a good
turnout. People on the Island are looking for more information as to whether
or not to d~esignate the whole of Fisher Island a critical environmental area. On
the afternoon on the 18th, I got the noon boat after the meeting, and drove up
to Allegheny County. I sent a week up there chasing deer around. I didn't
shoot any. I shot at them. Had a wonderful time. It's nice to get back home
to a great area, eastern Suffolk County. It's kind of depressive up there in
Alleghany County. Other than that, I guess that's it, Frank. Just one exception,
on Wednesday, this'coming Wednesday, two of the garbage commissioners and myself,
are going to drive up into Connecticut, and look at an organization up there,
Connecticut Carting, that possibly will take our recyclables off Fishers Island,
and I think we're going to get something started on Fishers Island on our own,
before the summer starts. Than you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond.

BACKGROUND:
It is essential that Southold Town move quickly to put in place a waste manage-
ment plan and related facilities. The proposed Task Force would assist the Town
Board to address the technical, environmental, social, legal and financial issues
associated with waste management in the Town in time to put the Town in compliance
with all relevant laws.
THE SOUTHOLD TOWN WASTE MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE:
The Task Force is an official arm of the Town Board with Terms of Reference
(outlined below) provided by the Board.
The Task Force is a working body for the Town Board. It is expected to
collect information from many places, meet with officials from other towns and
agencies, communicating fully with other interested parties, and to prepare a
series of recommendations for Board consideration. The Task Force cannot make
decisions in the name of the Board, but will propose actions for Board decision.
The initial members of the Task Force are hereby, appointed by this resolution.
They include two current Town Board members representing two political parties,
and the other members are selected on the basis of (1) commitme.nt, (2) expertise
in one or more aspects of waste management, (3) time available to work, and
(4) representation of important parts of the Southold Town community. The Town
Board may appoint a limited number of additional people to the Task Force in
the future upon the Task Force's recommendation. The Task Force Chairman
is designated by the Town Board by this resolution. Other personnel assignments
will be made by the Task Force.
TASK FORCE AND TOWN BOARD:
Wil or without the Task Force, the Town Board is responsible for Southold
Town's policies in regard to waste management and compliance with state law.
Because of the importance to the Board of the waste management plan and its
implementation, the Task Force will be expected to report its progress at every
regularly-scheduled Town Board meeting, and will be sensitive to guidance given
it by the Town Board.
The Task Force will be actively involved in implementing only one part of
the plan: communication with the Southold Town community. Carryin~ out all
other aspects of the Town's waste management plan will be the respor~'sibility
of the Town and its dul~,, constituted bodies.
CHARGE TO THE TASK FORCE:
The Task Force will:
1. prepare a Southold Town Waste Management Plan acceptable to the Town
Board which addresses technical, finan~:ial, legal and 'environmental concerns;
2. communicate fully with the Town Board, other towns, and the Southold
Town community and New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-
tion on a regular basis;
3. seriously consider, at the earliest possible time, separation, recycling, volume
reduction, and privatizing parts of the waste stream;
4. seriously explore complementarities, economies and possible joint facilities
with other towns;
5. recommend one or more resource recovery options to process the residual
part of the waste stream.
SUPPORT:
Members of the Task Force will not receive payment for their time. Reasonable
and normal expenses incurred by members of the Task Force in carrying out
their duties will be reimbursed, however, in a manner similar to that for Town
officials. This includes travel e×penses for out-of-town meetings necessary to
prepare the plan, secretarial and other related expenses,
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Southold Town ~'¥aste Management Task
Force shall initiall,/ have a membership of the following nine individuals, additional
members may be added at a later date if necessary, and. some individuals may
be dropped. Tow of the Task Force members are member of the Town Board
representing different political parties. The Task Force members shall be:
Thomas H. Wickham, Councilman-Elect, Chairman (Republican)
Ruth D. Oliva, Councilwoman {Democrat)
'William Cremers
Johanna Northam

34,-Vote of the Town Board: Aves: Councilweman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Councilwoman
Cochran, Justice Edwards. Nos: Councilwoman Larsen, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'd like to just comment on it. I think it's a duplication
of work, that has been done, and I think the Town Board. s-hould be doing the
work themselves.
COUNCIl_WOMAN LARSEN: The only comment, that I would like to make, is as
this becomes a part of the official resolution, we are authorizing travel expenses
for out of town meetings, for the members of the Task Force, Also, I would have
supported it, but evidently, as the past Town Board, whenever any appo_intments
were made, all the Town Board members were part of the interview, received
the resumes, input was there, and even though there will be an appointment
from two committee members, one will be from the Democratic party, and one
will be from the Republican party, I feel that there were interviews held, and
we were not included, none of the existing members of the Town Board were
asked for any imput on this. That is one of my reasons for voting, no. I don't
feel it was done in an appropriate manner, and imput was asked from all of us,
as was the past practice of the Town Board.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 35 is to authorize the transfer of a clerk typist,
Jill Thorpe, from the Plannin9 Office to the Town Trustees Office, when the
Plannin9 position is filled.
Amended 12/27/90 by Resol. #22
35.-Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby authorizes the
transfer of Clerk Typist Jill M. Thorp from the Planninc~ Board Office to the
Board of Town Trustees Office, effective upon the appo'i'ntment of a new Clerk
Typist for the Ptannin9 Board Office, and after Ms. Thorp provides one (1) week
of trainin9 to the new Clerk Typist.

Councilman Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 36 is a negative dec. on the change of zone
petition of Van Duzer Appliance, Inc. I offer that.
36.-Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
RESOLVED that pursuant to Article 8 of the Environment Conservation Law, State
Environmental Qualtiy Review and 6NYCRR Part 617, Section 617.10, and Chapter
44 of the Code of the Town of Southold, notice is hereby given that the Town
Board, as lead agency for the action described below, has determined that the
project, which is unlisted, will not have a significant effect on the environment.
DESCRIPTION OF ACTION:
Petition of Van Duzer Appliance Company, Inc. for a change of zone from
"A-C" Agricultural-Conservation District to "B" General Business District on
certain property located on the north side of North Road (C.R.48), Southold,
New York.
This determination is issued in full consideration of the criteria for determina-
tion of significance contained in 6NYCRR Part 617.11. In addition, a Lon9 Environ-
mental Assessment Form Parts I, II and III, has been prepared by the Town,
and has been fully considered by the Town Board in the preparation of this
determination. This Negative Declaration is issued in compliance with Part 627.8(e)
(1)(ii), and in full consideration of the documentation and other relevant informa-
tion provided. The following specific reasons are offered in support of this
determination:
1. The change of zoning will allow for the continuation and improvement
of an existing propane storage facility which has been located on the site for
over 20 years. Improvement of the facility may reduce potential impact on public
safety. Potential for impact is considered Iow due to operation of the facility
in accordance with municipal, state and industry standards. The site is periodi-
cally inspected by the Town Fire Inspector and has been found to be in compliance
with standards.
2. The change of zone will not cause a sufficient intrusion into a residential
neighborhood. Buffering and setbacks can be provided and should be conside,*ed
by the Plannin~ Board in conjunction with future land use or: this parcel.
3. The precedent setting nature of this action has been considered in
the Long Environmental Assessment Form Part III a:-.d is not considered to be
suffient due to the uniquesness of this application, and the surrounding zoning,
land ownership patterns and uses.
4. The potential impact of the project upon groundwater resources has
been considered and found not to be significant due to the nature of the material
stored.
36.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Larsen, Councilwoman Oliva,
Councilman Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We're going to recess, and have an executive session
on some personnel matters, and so at this time, rather than hold people up, is
there anyone in the audien~:e, who would like to address the Town Board, on
any matters of concern? Ritchie?
RICHARD CAGGIANO: I'm Rich Caggiano, from Southold. ! happen to catch
an interview on Channel 12, on Sunday night. It was Supervisor-elect Scott
Harr's, and he was asked a question about the landfill problem, we have in
Southold. His response was, we were talking to the Town of Hempstead. They
have come to accept an agreement, or there's an agreement or some discussion
going on, saying that they would accept our garbage for $60.00 a ton, plus a
transportation charge. I was just curious, and ask the Town Board, wt~at the
transportation charge ~ould be, and what the ?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Town Board has heard nothing, concerning that.
COUNCILWOMAN OL1VA: Didn't even know he was on Channel
COUNCILM, AN PENNY: Why don't you ask him? --
RICHARD CAGGiANO: The reason;I'm asking the Town Board, is because he
said, we. I assumed he meant, we, included the Town Board.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Rich, there was a trucking rate that was established,
and we have it as part of our records from Daneco, which shows very clearly
the round trip rates, and it is part of Town records, and I believe, that you're
going to find it runs in the realm of between $10.00 and $15.00 per ton on a
round trip basis. So if you want to check that, I'm sure Judy can give you
a copy of that. But it's not a fixed fee at this time, but it was research, that
was done by Daneco in their proposal to us. It showed, ! think it was, Brookhaven
was like $4.00. It gave every step for the way in toward the city. So you're probabl
talking somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe, less than $10.00 to no higher
than $15.00 a ton.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: But in answer to you, Rich, it hasn't come before this
Town Board.
RICHARD CAGGIANO: So it's not somthing the Town Board is' working on?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This Town Board is not working on it.
RICH~RDCAGGIANO: Okay. I guess we'll wait until the Advisory Commi,ttee is
established, and they'll work on it? Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other comments? Mr. Pell?
WILLIAM PELL: First of all, before you go back into your work session, I'd
like Mr. Penny's comment on some of the people going to computer school, from
three to one, and then to two. I hope you will also, consider when you send
two Police personnel away to the Drug Abuse Program, that you'd end up sending
one, and have him come back, one person come back, and pass what he learned
to the entire Police Department, instead of sending two.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I'm sorry Bill, that's not set up that way, in answer
to you statement. This is a training, that's done by DARE USA. The two
police officers. . right now, we have 1½ JAB officers that are kept busy full-time.
We have added a ½ of officer, so that in addition to their present duties, they
can continue and place the DARE Program in the seven or eight schools, that
we have. Only the people that go to the DARE training are certified to teach
it within the schools, and the school curriculum. So it's nothing that's brought
back and forth. It's certification and so on and so forth. Just for clarification.
WILLIAM PELL: There are two main things, I'd like to talk about today. One,
was a resolution, that was passed, last Town Board meeting. The other one
is something,I read in the Suffolk Times, back in September. The resolution,
with permission from the Board, I'd like to direct to the resolution, who
offered it. Resolution Number 33, of 11/14/89, Narrow River Road Marina
dredging project. I'm looking to the fact that there was no end date in it. I'm
interested to see that there is an ended date into the resolution, like September 31,
1990, so permission would end. It wouldn't be carried over from year to year,
until they got the project done. There is a date submitted in the minutes, which
I have a copy of, that says between Memorial Day and Labor Day, 1990, no soil
shall be put there, which is fine. I have no question about that, which is fine.
I'd like to see something added to end it. Also, on the same resolution, you --
said say they shall a right of access to the water. I went down there and looked
at the proposed area. The width is approximately 100 feet wide. The depth
is approximately 150 feet. If you leave a for a person getting a vehicle
to and from the water, there will be no room left to park..for the person to park.
It's fine for the summer months, but for seasonal month~ when they're scalloping
and clamming, when they're working the bay, they have no room, after they
take the whole parking lot 'for their fill space. We become second class citizens.
We have to park in the road, or block the entrance ramp. I'd like to see you
amend it, and say they can only use half the area, so half will be used for parking
for the people. During all the rain, I went down there. There were two clam
diggers, out there digging clams. Now, if they only had the rod to get their
vehicles in and out, there would be no place to park. I wish you would reconsider
that. Dredged materials, it said, will be trucked to the landfill. I heard you
change that to, must be trucked to the landfill. The Town does not sell sand
now. They can put it on the Town property, let it drain off, then they could
NOVEMBER 28, 1989 1 9 5
sell it. If you'r~ going to give them permissi~ to use c~ property, and if ~t
is sold, the Town should be reimbursed w~tho~t su~ppl~yf~e3 industry with a
drainage area for Town land. That is Town bottom, Th~t~s right. I would like
to see, must be trucked to landfill, or if sold, the Town is reimbursed at it's
fill rate. Most of all, I was upset in the resolution, that ga~e permission to
use the Town property with no insurance clause in there, to say the Town
from insurance. It is. not in the resolution. If an individual is going to get
hurt, or water runoff and freezes in the wintertime, if an idividual gets hurt
the Town is liable. There should be an insurance clause put in the resolution,
so the Town__ I urge you to reconsider, Ellen, the resolution which you
proposed last Board meeting.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I didn't propose it.
WILLIAM PELL: You sponsored it, but it's absolutely ridiculous.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I moved it, but I'll be glad to take care of the amend-
ments.
WILLIAM PELL: On the same idea, in the minutes of the 11/14/89 meeting, I
have a problem, and I will quote from the minutes, and I'm quoting you, Ellen.
I'd like to add that, Ruth and I met with the owners of the Narrow River Marina.
The project was scaled almost by two-thirds. End quote. I thought the bay bottom
was under the jurisdiction of the Trustees, not the Town Board. I have a letter
from the local press, dated 1985, and I will quote from the letter. Supervisor
Frank Murphy, The Trustees of Southold Town are responsible for all Town owned
creeks' bottoms. Signed, Henry Smith, President of the Board of Trustees. I
commend you for meeting with them, and getting them to scale down, but actually
I believe as Ellen said today, up there, the bottom belongs to the Trustees, not
to the Town Board.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Bill, we met.with them in relation to the amount of
dredged spoil, the tonage, that was being placed on the Town boat ramp. Ruth
had met with the engineers, and had come up with the figures of how many truck
loads of spoil, they were asking to put on the property, and it was unexceptable
to put that volume of spoil on the property. So unless they could come up with an
alternative method of taking care of the amount of spoil, our recommendation
would be not to use the ramp at all, and they realized that they did not need,
after conservation, did not need the amount of dredging that he originally proposed,
and they still have to get a Trustees...
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: They still have to go to the Trustees, Bill.
WILLIAM PELL: I just wanted to make sure the permit wasn't issued yet, because
I feel very strongly about a couple of the points.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: We have nothing to do with that. We don't give a
permit.
WILLIAM PELL: My point was, you were negotiating to reduce the size of it,
and I understand...
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: The reason was, I checked that with our consulting
engineers, and originally they wanted over 4,000 cubic yards of fill, and when
I checked with Sidney Bowne, that would have meant about a half acre in size,
six foot high, the spoil material, and that certainly was not acceptable at all.
WILLIAM PELL: Do you know how they're going to pump the fill up there, to
get it up there? Hydraulic pump? Dredge, or what method is going to be used?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: That wasn't our concern at the time. We didn't go
into that. We went into the amount of dredged spoil proposed for the site.
WILLIAM PELL: I beg to differ. What's that land doing on your land? It is
your thing, and I'm worried about the runoff, how they're going to dike it? Are
they going to put it up there? If they build dikes, who's going to build the
dikes? What type of building is it going to be? The other item, I wish to bring
up, in September, I read in the local paper, a letter, an article, I come up and
I got a copy of the minutes. Another proposed , it says, Robert Pfluger,
president of B.P. Wreckers Limited met with the Town Board to discuss his
proposed junkyard, he's operating,and composting business in Greenport on St.
Peter's Church property. I have a little problem there, with it. We just went
through a Master Plan. It's adopted. Under the old Master Plan, or develop-
ment plan, or the new Master Plan, that permit is not accepted in that area.
For him to come to this Board, and admit to you people that he's running a
junkyard, and com.posting operation on a piece of land, that you all should be
familar with, since you went through the Master Plan, upset me a little bit,
especially since 1985. Another letter, from Town Attorney Tasker to Frank
Murphy, Supervisor, Town Board. All Town Board got copies of it. Basically,
you asked him, if there were any violations there. I will read the last paragraph
of his letter. The foregoing, it would appear to me, that the operation in question
violates Chapter 48 of the Town Code, Chapter 54 of the Town Code, Chapter
100 of the Town Code. Your Town Building Department cited him, under due
process, to clean the act up. That letter was dated April 5, 1985. Another
letter, April 19, 1985 from the law firm of Smith, Finklestein, Lundberg, Isler,
and Yakaboski, to Mr Pfluger, Mr. Schelin, St. Peter's Church and others. --
I will read part of that letter to you. For your information, it would appear
to us that the use and the occupancy of the premises currently violate provision
of Chapter 48, 54, 100 of the Town Code. They had started due process to
get this piece of land in order. But, what upsets me, is after Mr. Pfluger comes
before,you, the Town Board in it's wisdom, sends a letter to the St. Peter's
Church, dated September 18, 1989, the Town of Southold expects to grant him
a temporary lease of landfill property, while his proposal for acquisition is going
through the planner's stages. Until we are able to do this, we would ask your
cooperation. Basically I think it means you're asking to extend the lease. On
one hand, you've got one department trying to clean a mess up, then the Town
Board in it's wisdom, asks the owners to extend the man's lease, so he can continue.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It's not quite as bad as it sounds, Bill. We are typing
to accomplish something. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No
response.) If not, we will recess and go into executive session to discuss a
pending contract with our CSEA bargaining unit. At this time, I'd like to have
