Present were: John Holzapfel, Chairman Margaret Feeney, Member Daniel Kujawski, Member Bruce Loucka, Member John Tuthill, Member Linda Cooper, Secretary Absent were: Betty Wells, Member Heather Tetrault , Member The meeting was held to discuss environmental topics of concern to the Council John Holzapfel began the discussion by telling of a scince conference held in Charleston. Orin Peltner, geologist from Duke University and coastal expert was a speaker at the con- ference. He spoke of beach replishment projects . The govern- ment would spend million of dollars to rebuild community beaches and studies have shown that two years later the beaches would be gone again. Another topic discussed was what was considered the gradual rise of the sea. Studies indicate that instead of gradual, the rise appears to be accelerating. A discussion was held concerning the brochures the Council plans to publish. The brochures would be reprints of the articles written by John Holzapfel and published by the Suffolk Times . The articles dealt with environmental concerns and ways the general public could avoid or diminish some of the concerns. The Council decided, with the permission of the Town Board, to encumber 1988 funds to cover the cost of publish- ing. The publication would be in booklet form. The possibility of inserting the booklets into local newspapers as a means of reaching the greatest amount of residents and property owners . ' 12/12/88 Page 2 Bruce Loucka reported on research he had done regarding the Young' s Marina application (Wetland Application NO. 672 ) . Mr. Loucka suggested the Council approve the application. His research had revealed the application had been changed and the project had received NYSDEC approval with the amendments . The Council decided to add the Lew Edson application (Wetland Application NO. 680 ) to the next group inspection for reinspection. A NYSDEC permit is still needed by the applicant . A check by the Council revealed that the NYSDEC permit had expired in the Gus Wade project . (Wetland Application No. 676 ) . The Council still recommends disapproval of the application. The Council also discussed the driveway materail left by Mr. Wade on Town bottoms. Mr. Wade was given a direct- ive to remove the material but apparently never followed the directive. Daniel Kujawski reported on an aerial photo course he had attended. The course supplied a greaat deal of bachground information and taught those attending how to read aerial photographs to pick out differnt zoning aread, condos, etc. Chairman Holzapfel reported thata the Town Board had approved the CAC budget and will allow the chairman to be paid as a part-time environmentalist . Among the duties of the chairman would be to represent the CAC at ZBA, Planning Board and Trustee meetings . The person would be responsible for reports, and studying and commenting on DEIS. The other members felt the person should be responsible for reporting to the Council, and be directed by the Council, and anserable to the members . The members discussed the Core Watershed Protection Area report presented to them at an earlier meeting by Mark McDonald. They felt they supported the concept of the report however concern was expressed for the property rights of the individuals . The consequences of the CWPA should be clearly spelled out to the property owners within the area. Also, any tax reductions on their property which may occur should be explained to those property owners within the area. In addition, it was suggested that the effect of increased density in the receiving zones as a result of Transfer Development Rights be studied. The Council is still awaiting notification from Albany con- cerning the Solid Waste grant for which the Council had applied. The meeting was adjourned at 9 : 00 P.M. Respectfully submitted. Linda J. Cooper, Secretary Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council
