provisions of the Code, however, Planner Scopaz and Assistant Town Attorney Berntsson
after examining the map find that the lots do not conform to the required lot width re-
quirement. Further, no determination has been made regarding the "wet" area shown
on the proposed plan, and the old dump site. These must be reviewed by the Town
Trustees, NYS-DEC, and County Department of Health. it appears they could pro~

resolved satisfactorily, it was explained to Mr. Clavin and Mr. Dougherty th ~L~
Town Board is without pOWer to alt~r ,{he regulations, and the Planning Board ~1~ no
authority to alter the reg~i~tions,~ for either party to do so would be a violation of

IV. PUBLIC HEARINGSu, (Flv~-~lJ~ngs~innlng at 8:00 P.M.)
V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll move on to Item V of Resolutions. I would just like
to state the Town Board's policy that if anyone would like to address the Town
Board on a proposed re~olution now is the time to do it. We wOuld ask you to
hold your comments on any other item of interest or concern to you until after
the regular meeting. After we go through all the resolutions and the public hearings
we will allow the public to address the Town Board on anything that is of any concern.
So at this time I would like to ask if anyone has anythingto (~omment on any of
the proposed resolutions tonight? Hearing none I'll move on to the first one which
is to set ferry rates:for Fishers Island.
JUSTICE EDWARDS~ Before I start in I wou d like yf0u to know that this was my
proposal to tl~ ~Fi~hers I~land Civic Association that they passed on to the Ferry
Distri'ct and the only comment I~have on it is that it is not a full--i,t will not be
in effect for a full yea:r~ it's only in the summer, and the Ferry District's comment--
the reason for ~it',n~o~ being for the full year is that ~he fare is, reasonable enough
in the winter~ime~ We'll be working on that. The ferry faire in the wintertime
is $2.00 each way, and the summertime it goes up to $3.50',each way. Automobile
fares of $4.50 without a ~lriver in the wintertime and $8.00'wi~J~ouJ a driver in
the summertime, so i~ goes up a'lmost double. But this is ~ r~solution tha~t's going
to help a lot of the people on the Island that do commute to the mainland to work,
and also the housewives that go over there that do most of their shopping~ because
our supermarket On the Island can't even compare with one of Your 7~11's, even
price-wise here o~ the mainland. Here we go...

people or bad, but you certainly can see that our Town Attorneys are working very
hard.
ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY BERNTSSON: Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll see when somebody gets caught how they appreciate
it. Okay, that's the end of our prepared and added-on-agenda. At this time I'd
like to ask any of the Councilmen if they have anything to say, starting on my right
with Ruth.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: NOthing at this time. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, Frank, thank you. This is particularly directed toward
John Tuthill who's in the audience, representative of the members of the Orient
Meadowlands Association, and John, I know the last time I saw you i told you that
when we w~ent on April 6th to visit Commissioner Jorling of the DEC at the lslip
Town Hall, that I would speak to the Commissioner about the problem that you're
having with your wetlands in Orient. Well, I did that. i asked how the Councilmen
in the Town of Southold can have more input into lands that are being set aside
for acquisition by the DEC. Following that meeting, Harold Berger, the Regional
Director, approached me fairly quickly--as a matter of fact I was with Jean Cochran--
he approached us and said, "What seems to be the problem?" And we said, "We've
been told, Mr. Berger, that you will not meet with the property owners of the property
in Orient and the Town Board at the same time." He said, "Well~ I don't understand
why you feel that way." He said, "Have you been told that?" And we said, "Yes,
we've been told by the Supervisor of the Town of Southold that this isn't possible."
He said, "Well, Frank is misinformed, and he said, "1 wish from now on when you
have a problem you call me directly." So I said, "Well, Mr. Berger, will you meet
with the Town Board of the Town of Southold and the property owners in the Town
of Southold so we can get this settled?" He said, "Yes, ! would." And he repeated
that more than once. I asked him, and I believe that Councilwoman Co,bran will
verify this. John, I know you just got a letter from the DEC which says that they
will not do this. As a matter of fact they made mention of the conversation that
they had had with Jean and I and did not mention meeting with the Town Board
and the property owners together. I called Mr. Berger again to remind him of his
prior commitment~ which at this point he has denied making. S6 I'm sorry, John,
1 understand why the Orient people do ~not trust the DEC, and ~l'm ~fraid that if
people like Harold Berger--because if they can switch as quickly as that from a
three week period of time, and a public official cannot:even g~t the truth from them
I feel for you guys. Thank you very much, and I did my best. '
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, I also intended to bring it up because I see we
have a copy of the letter evidentially that you received under Correspondence in
our file this evening. Mr. Berger does state in his third paragraph, "On April 6th
I met with George Penny and Jean Cochran and informed them I had received a letter
request from Supervisor Frank Murphy to meet with him and his Town Board. I
informed them that I would do so." I am disappointed that Mr. Berger has not placed
in context what we requested of him. When we requested if he would meet with
the Town Board and the landowers he said, yes, he would. "He has never in all
his life refused to meet with anyone." Exact quote. The only thing I would like
to add at this time is I do not feel Mr. Berger is a very honorable person.--Some-~
thing a little lighiter then that--as you know, Southwold,England is getting ready
for their celebration of their Charter and we have a gentleman in the audience tonight,
Fred Martin--! don't know, Fred, if you know all of the Town Board, but the gentleman
in the blue jacket is Fred Martin, and he is a--I don't want to say amateur because
it sounds-li~e-you're almost professional "ham operator", and he's in constant commun-
ication- back aod forth with Southwold, England, almost constantly. In addition
Fred ~nd this other fellow have taken up corresponding and I have a copy of o~e
of the letters, but it's kind of f~n: to read,because you feel a certain warmth and
attachment to a place that you've never seen or you've never been to. But just
a paragraph of this gentleman's letter: "1 have suggested to the Southwold Council
that we run a photographic-competition here, the idea being that residents and visitors
to Southwold will be invited-to take manners of photos throughout the whole of the
Charter year of the town and its immediate environs. The winning photograph will
be enlarged, mounted and presented to Southold at about the time of the beginning
of your own celebration. This will show Southold just what the old mother town
of Southwold looks like and is doing in the year 1989~90, 500 years after receiving
its first charter as a borough. I wonder wh~her Southold might consider running
a similar competition with the winning photographs being sent to us in Southwold.
i am certain all residents and visitors here would be fascinated to 'learn-all they
can about their daughter town. So it's kind of fun, and in addition a guide to
Southwold and their district for 1988, Fred received, and it's kind of fun to look
on the center and see the same sign we have here. I understand from Judy Terry
that I believe it was Jim Homan...
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes, a former Supervisor.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: ...on a visit to,Southwoid brought this back to us.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: He had it carved and donated it to the Town.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: And donated it to the Town and theirs says, "Southwo~..
TOWN CLERK TERRY: And that stands in the square.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: And ours says "Southold". In addition, Fred's family
is developing quite a relationship, with our mother country because this says, "Friend-
ship Across the Airways", and-Fred's daughter is a pen pal to--is it the other ham
operator's daughter, Fred?
FRED MARTIN: It is the Town Clerk's daughter.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: The Town Clerk's daughter, and they have a line
of communication going.. So ! just think it's kind of fun. Fred, can we copy these?
Fred, would you like to say something in relation to this? You're in communication
with this man all the time and I'just think it's great that we can build a line of
communication here.
FRED MARTI.N: I'm not really much for public speaking, but to give you an idea
of what'S going on, in January one night i got a phone call about 10:30 at night
from an amateur radio operator up in Massachusetts who had gotten my name and
phone number from Bob Rothman. I've got a fairly good size station in my house,
and the gentleman in England wanted to get in touch with somebOdy here in Southold
and get communications going back and forth specifically for the two celebrations
coming up. It ended up that John Cordeau and myself have been talking almost
every Saturday morning, or Saturday afternoon, depending upon how we have it
scheduled, and they would like to see an interest from this side of what we call
the ",pond" to get some interest going and as Jean has read a portion on the photo
contest they're going to get started over there. They'd like to see the same thing
over here. They're very interested in what the celebration committee is doing over
here. i'm here to tell you that I can transfer this information.back and forth. We
have no legal t~hird party agreement between the United States;and the United Kingdom.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Thank you, Fred, for sharing this with us.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: What frequency on Saturday .morning?
FRED MARTIN: This Saturday morning we'll be on 14341 at 1700 Zooloo.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'm W2102.
FRED MARTIN: I believe I've talked to you before on 6670 repeater.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I think we have. I'll try and get in there. 1700GNC, 14341.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You know one of the members, or former member of i guess
the Town Council,was over here when we had our bell ringing ceremony last year
for the Bicentennial.
FRED MARTIN: From $outhwold. I understand--l think there',s some talk going
on in the t~'wn that they'd like to get some of the people coming here, but that
I really haven, lt gotten into.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Toni B~of~l~, is looking into it and she's talked to ~several
travel agents. -
FRED MARTIN: Toni was down at the house one morning for the conversation between
John and myself. George Bumpstead, being the Town Hi~,torian over there, has been
there for every one of these contacts that ~e've made, and they have recorded the
contact. One other thing that we've done is they sent over an audio version of
Sunday service from St. Edmund's Church in Southwold, and I have done the same
thing from the Presbyterian Church, so hepefully we can get a lot going between
the'~:~o, and if any of the Councilmembers o~he Celebration Committee ~or Chamber
~.!,~ii~',.of~Commerce would like to get in touch with-~'~y phone number is not inthe book--it's
- ~:~Ot my fault, the phone company, but for the record it's 765-3120, and if!I'm not
'hOme my wife will gladly take a message and I'll get back in contact with anyone
and see whatever we can get going back and forth. Thank you.
MAY 3, 1988
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN:
Thank you, Fred.
SUPERV.ISOR MURPHY: Very good. Jean, anything further?
COUNCI~LWOMAN .COCHRAN: Yes, the only other thing--I don't know if the Town
Board has seen the IoYely brochure that the Promotion Committee has developed,
and Bobra brought some copies in to share with us so that we could each see what's
being distributed to our ~iocai tourists. Also, George, something ~came to mind which
I have neglected to mention to you--I haven't seen ~ou this pa~t Week too much
except for t°day-~when ~ou mentioned signs-~i've ~ad seVer~l~people mention to
me what th~ get some~signs on the C(~ur~ty Ro~d up here
designating ~orton the business diStrict is down t~his way for'on the
highway i Cutchogue they have a ~;~ign going dOwn '~business
district'~. 1 ~ ~ .request to ....
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I thought there was one up on Youngs Avenue.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHR~AN:
the North Road, is' there?
I'm not sure.
I don't think there's one up here on
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ! don't think so.
1-57
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Otherwise I don't think the person would request
it. I'm iust throwing it to you. That's your committee, George. Thank you.
Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: No, nothing, Frank. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Raymond?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Oh, yes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, I've been waiting.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I think number one I'm glad this brochure was passed on
on tourism, because the people of Fishers Island would love to see this because
the Island is not mentioned on it. Well, it is, but it's not on the map and the
people will read that. Okay, now we get on with the list.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Do you people really want touri~s over there?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: No, we don't.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: That's why we knew that and we left you off the
map.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Okay, there were four of us that flew over this morning to
sit down on affordable' housing on Walsh Park. Affordable housing over there where
we have twenty-four acres and we're looking for twelve lots. Due to petty restrictions
it's going to set us back either six to eighteen months unless we give up two of
the lots and go for a multiple, and even with city water--you know, just because
of bureauracy we have to give up two lots. You know it's a little petty thing,
and many times- the Town Board will go into Executive Session because we found
something that we've done and we have to have pow wow to resolve it illegally.
Also this morning we had a developer that come in that wants 55 lots on 37 acres
with Greenport water. You know that's ~great, the Greenport water they're giving
it away like they haven't got it. Now, I think it's unfair to the people of the Island.
Of course we're going to work on it. Our Attorney is. The Town Planner is or
isn't, deperf~ling on how you look at it, but I think there is some way that we should
be able to bend. Now, the Conservancy on Fishers Island has,hired an engineering
study'~to checl~ into the busing of garbage t~Om Fishers Island either to Southol~l
or Connecticut, and from what I-g~ather in the Connecticut paper, Connecticut has
enough problems getting their own incinerator on line over there with the technicalities
and so forth so that leaves that out. My suggestion to the engineers~ well, if
we have to bus it to have the Town of Southold put an off-loading ramp down here
in Orient and we'll move one of the ferries to t~~. Island and make a midnight garbage
run. Change the name of the ferry to the islip Barge. It will save the taxpayers
on Fishers Island $68,000--next year it will be more--and true, we will .have to
go up when you people go into composting. And, let's see what else here--oh,
the State Police is on the Island. They're .here--one of them is 'here until the first
of November and that should be interesting. ~_.I~ en Reeves, Rect'eation Director,
gave us four basketball nets for the basketball courts on the Island. ! r~equested
that and he come right through with it. And no one mentioned it; but I don't
know how many people get the New York State Co~ervationist magazine, but this
I § 8 M^Y
week is DEC Water Week, May 1st to May 7th and nobody mentioned that, as important
as it is. And let's see, what else---we have some other little rid bits here. That
conservation magazine is only $5.00 a year and comes out six times a year. It's
a beautiful magazine. I think it's the best buy in the State. Let's see, i do have
Fred Martin here--! talked to him, and i've got 14341 signal side band and !'11
look for you there. I had a beautiful dinner at Skipper!s Restaurant tonight. They
serve some beautiful martini's which--I have a-cousin that calls it loud mouth juice.
They' were beautifu; and a baked salmon which was excellent. And last but not
least, tomorrow morning my grandson is getting on the New London ferry at 7:00
o'clock in the morning--!.'m picking him up at 8:30 and .my boat is down at Brewer's
in Greenport. It's been. refurbished for the first, time in ten~ years and we plan ~
to leave Grreenp°rt about 9:00 or 9:30 with--I think ! have a d0zen channel marker~i:':~ ·
in. there that th~ Highway Department has given Us, a bucket of chain that weighs ~?il~
about 100 pounds, and I've got to bring back about two dOze.n bagels to the constituent
on Fishers Island. So other than that, Frank, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You certainly are busy, Raymond. I would just like to
make one comment and it's very upsetting, really, that even this would go on,
and that the DEC did offer to meet with the Town Board as they said they would.
Suggested 'that first and only two of us had the courtesy to go over to the meeting.
All members of the Town Board could not go, and I apologized personally ~ to Harold
Berger for what ! considered very rude behavior and rude comments, and ! don't
think it's right and I think we stand a very good chance of putting the ffntire
project in jeopardy and losing an awful lot of funds, and I'm very upset ~bOut
it.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Mr. Murphy, don't you ever apologize for me.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I didn't apologize for you.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: You are in a sense apologizing. If there's an apology
due ! will do it myself. Number one, when I spoke with Mr. Berger he said he
would be meeting with the landowners and the Town 13oard. Okay? Number two,
when in a weeks time just the Town Board was invited to Stony Brook for a meeting
without the public, on principle I did not attend-that meeting. And that is my
right. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Fine. Fine. You have any right to do anything. ....
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: But don't every apologize for me.
SUPERVISOR MLURPHY: Well, I did.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: In regard to that also, I received a notice of this meeting
after giving Frank advanced notice that i would not be available Monday through
Wednesday...
COUNCIl:WOMAN COCHRAN: I found out about the meeting on Friday afternoon
for Monday. Come on, Frank.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I found out about it Friday afternoon which is very short
notice and he knows, and I also spoke to him that morning to say ! would not be
able to attend the meeting, so ! don't know what all of this apology stuff is about,
but I never intended to make that meeting and I never represented that I would.
However, Mr. 13erger did represent that he would meet with us here at Southold
Town and he did not. So if anybody owes us an apology it's him.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: It's Mr. 13erger.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any othe~r, Town .Board member have any comments?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Well, I'~1 just like to say one thing since I~ve been pretty
quite through this whole thing, I. remember reading myself that the DEC would
be happy to meet with the landowners. Not as a whole, but individually. That
~hey would meet with the Town Board members. I have--I did not attend the meeting
in Stony Brook myself because from the beginning ! have felt that the DEC is involved
~in the acquisition of the land, they have not made offers yet, .they have not-finalized
anything. We have--I myself, as a Town Board member, feel that it lies with the ~
Stat~:at this point. When the Orient people ._c~..a~n come to me and tell me. specifically .
what the DEC is doing to them is wrong, is terrible, then I'll listen. At this point
I'm waiting.
MAY 3, 1988
COUNCILMAN PENNY:
been saying.
COUNCILWOMAN IARSEN
159
You haven't read the mail' lately, Ellen, that's what they've
I read it all the time.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: John, send him a copy of your letter.
JOHN TUTHILL: When can i make a comment here?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Right now.
JOHN TUTHILL: ~'m John Tuthill of Orient, involved in this Orient Wetlands
Association. All we want to tell somebody in the DEC is that we do not want to
sell.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: We know that, John.
JOHN TUTHILL: We don't care about meeting individually and having them make
offers or anything. We want to tell them--somebody in charge--that we do not
want to sell. Now, I appreciate George and Jean making that contact for us, and
I do think that it's very short shift that Berger gave these two members of the
Town Board, and it seems to me that the Town Board ought to rally around their
own members and take umbrage that two members were lied to. Now, also we,
the members down in Orient, are members of $outhold Town, and it would seem
to me reasonable that the Southold Town Board could help members of Southoid
Town. All we want to do is meet with somebody ahead of time and tell them that
we don't want to sell. We don't want them to check our lands and figure o~t what
it's worth. We just don't want to sell, period. And why should we wait until they
come around and talk to each one of us individually, when perhaps we can do this
thing with one authority and settle the whole thing, and we would like to haYe
the Town Board as a whole, which represents us, at least try to help us.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Well, don't talk to me for help, Mr.'~Tuthill, because
I think this has been politicized and publicized, i think that the DEC isgoing
to treat' you fairly. I think that other areas in other towns have had successful
acquisitions with their areas preserved, that the people 'have been remunerated
very justly. I don't your causes as holding on to the land that you've held on
to for 250 years when they're looking at a small periphery to acquire. We have
not seen anything from you other than complaints, the fact that you would like
us to come in and help you with this. We don't even know what ......
JOHN TUTHILL: Why shouldn't you help us? We're member~ of the Town. All
we want to do is meet with some ..... ~
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: There are many other people that are members of the
Town too, so let's wait is my opinion.
JOHN TUTHILL: Well~ what have the other members got to do with it, they don't
own the land? Why can't the Town support members of Southold Town? At least
why can't you support your Orient people. You talk about politicizing, 1 guess
you're probably right, but it shouldn't come between the Town Board I~elping to
get an answer to.other people in the Town, and I don't think you're-treating your
own people fairly.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, sir. Anyone else in the audience like to address
the Town Board? Jean?
JEAI~ TIEDKE: Jean Tiedke. I live in the village of Southold. Number one,
I recommend that anybody that can go visi.t Southwold do so. It is a charming,
charming town.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Very nice change of subject.
JEAN TIEDKE: Talking about ~h~e_landfill. When are we going to go to source
separation? At least glass and metal? That's the easiest thing.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We-are taking metal out now. Not cans, but we are taking
all metal out now. ..7
JEAN TIEDKE: Out of t~',e dump. That's not what I'm talking about. Source separatio~
we'd each have a can for metal and a can for glass, and it can get picked up maybe
once a month, once in six weeks. Doesn't have to be picked Ul~ every week. As
I've said before, when we lived in Michigan i~1960 we had to do it. EverybOdy
did it. We had red-~cans for glass and white cans for something else. It was no
big deal and it worked fine, and it would be much, much simpler and much cleaner
than having to do it at the dump. I think you sh-~ld think about it. The other
thing is, what is the Open Space Committee expected to do?
!60
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
various types.
JEAN TIEDKE: Good.
First of ail, spend $1,750,000 in property acquisition of
Good. Who will look after it?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Town will. It .will be very similar to the Farmland
Development Rights purchase.
JEAN TIEDKE: Good. Okay, I'm all for it. But think about this source separation
at our houses.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We're looking into including that in the RFP and let the ~
firms who want to bid on the construction tell us how they want to do it without I:,i~!!
having to force something down their throat, and force the collection which traditio~JTy
has worked fairly well in the beginning, but after a while it levels off and really
it's not very cost effective.
JEAN TIEDKE: What is not?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Most of these household pick-ups and stores is not very
good.
JEAN TIEDKE:: How do you know..that?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Just from talking to people.
JEAN TIEDKE: To people who don't like it - they say that.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean', yes, we could discuss it with you if you'd like and
any input you-have, fine, We'd be,happy to talk to you.
JEAN .TIEDKE: Well, I certainly think you should talk about it more, not just throw
it away and say that everything's going to go to the dump and then be separated.
That's a very bad way to do it in my opinion. Okay?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay. Thank you. Anyone else like to address the Town,~,:~
youBoard? for coming' (No response.) out tonight. Hearing none, a motion to adjourn is in order. Thank
