I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on to the first item on the agenda are reports.
These reports are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office for anyone who wants
to look at them.

2. Supervisor's Monthly Budget Report for October, 1988.
3. Suffolk County Department of Labor Economic Indicator Report for
November, 1988.

6. Councilman's Reports. I would like to ask now, any councilmen,
if they have anything special to report. Starting on my left with Judge Edwards.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Thank you, Francis. I missed the last meeting here.
I did attend the work session, but I missed the meeting on the 15th, as we
had a Northeast Utility drill, regarding Millstone due the next day, and I
NOVEMBER 29,
1988
had to get back on the Island to set it up. There wasn't any ferry available
because of the storm, and I had to drive around to get there, which I did
with no problem. I, also, brought the flu serum from the County to the
Medical Group on Fishers Island for the senior citizens. We had the drill
on the 16th. I haven't got the final word on it yet from talking to Northeast
Utilities today. It was a successful operation from Fishers Island part, and
it lasted approximately six hours. I went up hunting in New York State on the 18th,
I believe it was. On the 21st, opening day, I got my son, thirty pound doe,
that I can tuck away in the freezer for the winter. I was back on Fishers
Island on the 25th. Spent a couple of hours in the office on Sunday catching
up with associated matters, and yesterday afternoon, I caught the ferry from
Fishers Island to New London. Then from New London to Orient and here
we are. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond. We were notified, also, of
the drill. Everything went well with the Police. They notified me, too. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Thanks, Frank. I guess everybody had a nice
Thanksgiving. On the 15th I attended the meetinG of the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Committee. On the 16th, we held Housing Committee meeting.
On the 16th, there was a meeting of the Commerce and Industry Committee
meeting. We discussed the various methods of assessment, the dog pound,
clean-up for the street, the Town purchase of real estate. The 17th, I attended
Toughlove buffet supper, which has been existence for 3 years. The League
of Woman Voters had a talk on Muncipal Solid Waste Composting. Thank you,
Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, Frank. Thank you. On the 16th, as Ellen
stated, we had a Housing Committee meeting. As you are aware we have
been meeting and reviewing our Affordable Housing Law. That's been brought
a conclusion. The consens~ of the committee is that our law is well written.
That it is a good law. It is not the reason we do not have affordable housing.
One of the reasons, whether the Town does a project, or its done by private
enterprise, is the water situation. So I was delighted this morning when the
Town Board felt that they would set up a meeting with Greenport and discuss
water management in Southold Town. We, also. spent a great deal of time
going through figures, seeing exactly what kind of a project we could become
involved in and still maintain it affordable. There's many things that go along
with affordable housing and people qualifing to buy a house, they have to
be morgagable. As we looked at the figures, we felt. that we could perhaps
do a project that would meet the needs of those individuals with income between
$30,000.00 and $40,000.00 a year. We realize that this is not the greatest
percentage where the need is, but we feel very strongly that as a Town we
were able to get through a project and show the community that it is possible
to be done without any cost to the taxpayer. That it is visually acceptable.
That it's a pleasant place to live. That perhaps, then, we could go on to
a second project, trying to meet the needs of the income group between the
$20,080.00 and $30,000.00. Jim McMahon, Community Development Director,
is setting up a meeting. He and I are going to be sitting down with Bessie
Swann in relation to types of grants and places we can find money. Because,
of course, the more money we find the more likely we are to keep a project
affordable. For instance, there is up to $300,000.00 that can be gotten in
relation to infra-structure. So there's grants out there, and it's one of the
things the committee will be continuing in this direction of a Town project,
and see what we can pull together. That was on housing. On the 17th, I
also attended the buffet dinner of the parent's support program for Southold
Town, which was held at the Rec Center. As you may be aware, this is a
program that is parents helping parents. If your child has a problem with
substance abuse, either alcohol or drugs, it's a support system, where parents
can vent their frustrations and help one another solve problems. It is their
fourth year of operation and I'd like to say congratulations to Mary Ann
Fleischman for a job well done. Also, on the 17th, following the dinner, I
also, attended the League of Woman Voters' open meeting on waste management,
which I felt was well done and well received. On the 25th, I attended the
25th celebration of the Southold Indian Museum. Although, the organization
is older, it's building is' 25 years old. I, also, serve a treasurer, but I
- attended in my capacity as a member of Town government. It was also a
pleasure to view, they had some special displays on, and Councilman Penny
was also there, one of the special displays being viewed right now is a
collection of arrowheads by George's d~d, which is a nice collection, and I
encourage anyone to go over and see it while it's on display. On the 21st,
NOVEMBER 29, 1988
I had a luncheon meeting with Valerie Scopaz. Some of things that we discussed
was the concepts of a better way of work between the Highway Committee
and the Planning Board, and perhaps something will be forthcoming there in
relation to highways. At the request of the Supervisor, I attended a meeting
on the 22nd in Westbury. On the 28th, the Town Board, or members of the
Town Board, met with Don Witschieben, president of the West Mattituck Beach
Association, and Dr. Wise of the Sea Grant Organization, and what was discussed
was the feasibility of Carey Tank Farm property being used as the State University
of Stony Brook for a marine science research lab. It certainly would be a
positive project for the Town of Southold. It's in the talking stages, but
the Town Board members present had indicated their support. Thank you,
Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I had the opportunity to miss my first Commerce and
Industry Committee in two and a half years. Ruth will fill us all in on what
happened that night. I had a bug after the last Town Board meeting. On
the 21st, I attended the Water Advisory Committee, which Ruth will report
on. On the 28th, I attended the meeting which Jean just reported on, which
was the meeting with the representives from Sea Grant on the Carey property
in Mattituck. I also had the opportunity, as Jean mentioned, to attend the
25th anniversary of the Indian Museum, which has a lot longer name than
New York State Archaelogical, something or othere, something or other, but
is known in Southold Town as the Indian Museum, and I'd say that they've
done a w, onderful. They have a booklet, which they've published and I believe
that out of a thousand copies, something like nine hundred of them, are already
distributed. I believe that they are going to go for another printing. Thank
heaven for people like Bill Golder, that have taken the time, and knew the
orginal founders, and where a lot of this stuff came from. I think that he
and the others have done an excellent job. It was a pleasure to be there.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLiVA: On November 1Sth, I attended the Waterfront Revitaliza-
tion Revitalization Committee. On November 16th, Frank and I had negotiations
with the PBA, and on November 16th, that evening, we had a Commerce and
Industry Committee where I'm sure they all missed George. They were brought
up to date on the Master Plan. The hearing ,of course, is this Thursday.
They were concerned about the tipping fees at the Landfill. Specifically,
that household goods would be excluded from it. Their household garbage,
Whicft-theyburn, they seem to be satisfied. They died have a question about
the white goods. They had trouble, at first, getting a listing of exempt properties
from the assessors, but they did get a copy of it, and they are reviewing
the whole listing of it, to see if, perhaps, some of them shouldn't be exempt
and what have you, to make recommendations. They had problems; asked
questions about the Dog Pound. Again, they're still having trouble with dogs
running loose in Greenport. There seems to be some sort of conflict between
Greenport and Southold. Greenport says they pick up the dogs, and they're
not admitted to the Dog Pound, and the Dog Pound says they don't get the
dogs from Greenport, I advised them, that if anybody did refuse them at the
Dog Pound to please contact George or myself, and we would see about it.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Ruth. I went up to the Dog Pound, and they
have a capacity of 32 or 33 dogs, and they have 60 or more dogs right now.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I know. It's a problem. Again, we sent the contract
to George Hubbard, the new one, and I don't believe it's probably sent back
yet for the new..North Fork Animal League.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: It hasn't gone to them yet. It's in the hands of the
League first.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Oh, the hands of the League first. Okay. Then
they were interested in community development youth work penalties, and
I called Jim McMahon, and they've had kids here, the judges sentence them
to serve so many hours of service work, whether it's raking leaves, cleaning
up papers at the Landfill, vacumming the Town Hall, all different kinds of
things. The program has worked so well, that they really haven't had anybody
come back on a recall as far as any type of problems concerned with the Police.
They were kind of interested in getting something together for Greenport,
but I don't think the Judge there has the same inclinations as the Judges
here. So they thought perhaps if they could get some sort of volunteer force
NOVEMBER 29, 1988
to it, and have t-shirts and make a publicity like that fellow did, I think,
in Riverhead. They had the t-shirts. And to clean up, they said the streets
of Greenport are really a mess. Of course, they wanted to be brought up
to date on affordable housing, and we told them that without the Greenport
water we are still rather stuck with it. Then they would like to see that
when the Town purchase property, that it should include an economic impact
statement, as far as taking it off the tax rolls, and so forth from the Town.
And that was about it. We were out in about 45 minutes.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: That's a record.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Yes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They did miss you, George.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: They really did miss you.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I'll remember that, the next meeting we have, Ruth.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: On November 17th, I also, attended the Leaque
of Woman Voters' meetirlg on the waste disposal, which was very good. On
November 21st, we had the Water Advisory Committee meeting, and Mark
McDonald, and Bob Villa have spoken to various groups in Town, and have
gotten their support, but they certainly have a lot more work to do. There
are concerns with the property owners whose property is totally included in
the core watershed area, and Marty Sidor has been charged to getting these
people together with the Water Advisory Committee,within the next couple
of weeks,with an informational meeting so that everybody understands the
other one very clearly and not a lot of misinformation would be floating around.
Then we'll go on to speak. They were going to the County, to speak to the
County to see what their core watershed area proposal is, and they're going
to work up a question and-answer sheet for everybody, so that just the basic
questions as answered, and they're really doing a tremendous lot of work.
Valarie Scopaz, our planner, suggested that the next time that we have our
meeting that Bill Sanok and Joe Sieczka, and Allan Connell come and give
a brief presentation about integrated pest management, the experiments that
are going on down at the experimental station, and about irrigation and so
forth from Connell about the differant types, and I think it will be very helpful.
We heard them give a presentation in Hauppauge. It had been excellent. Hopefully,
once we get over this hurdle, then the committee really wants to take on the
water program, and educational program for the Town, and they thought that
without hiring someone that the committee could do a lot themselves on that.
The next meeting for that will be December 20th. Also, yesterday, I attended
the meeting with George, Frank and Jean with Sea Grant, and Don Witche
with hopefully getting some sort of proposal together for the use of Mattituck
Inlet as marine research center, which I think is just a super idea. it had
been brought up eight years ago to try to do it, and nothing came of it. i'm
glad to see it come back again. Last night, I attended the Greenport Utility
Committee meeting. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. One of the reasons the program,
the work program from the Court, goes so well, is that the alternative is to
go to jail.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: The best part is that the recidivism rate is nil.
They've never had people come back. Excellent. Delightful to hear.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The only thing I'd like to add is, yesterday, we had
two meetings. One with the County on our human services buildinq, that
we're looking into, the possibility of doing in the Town. And, Evelyn Roth
and Joan Board had a meeting of all the agencies in the County, yesterday.
It really went very, very well. An awful lot of interest in the program, and
would like to see it going. They are looking to see how much funding they
can get to help pay for this building. It looks very promising. Then right
after that I came back here. Jim and I met with a representative from Suffolk
Child Ca_re, and they are going to give us the regulations and the architectural
work that we could pass on to the architect for a day care center. So, if
this does come about, that it's built property and for all of these people.
We're very pleased with the results so far.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 22 is a resolution to accept the finding state-
ment for the proposed "Local Law to amend the Zoning Code and Zoning Maps,
which is our Master Plan. It's a very large document, and this will be available
as soon as it can be retyped. I offer that resolution.
22.-Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilwoman Cochran,
WHEREAS, the Town of Southold has undertaken an update of its Master Plan;and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has adoped an updated Master Plan in December of
1985; and
WHEREAS, a local law entitled "A LOCAL LAW to amend the Southold Town Zoning
Code and'Zoning Maps incorporated therein, to implement, in whole, or in part, the
recommendations of the Master Plan Update prepared by the Planning. Board" has
been proposed; and '
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Southold has been designated the lead
agency for this action pursuant to S.E.Q.R.; and
WHEREAS, by resolution dated May 1, 1987 the lead agency made a positive declara-
tion with regard to certain elements of the proposed Local Law that might adversely
affect the environment; and
WHEREAS, a draft generic envionmental impact statement was prepared for the Town
Board for this action; and
WHEREAS, said draft G.E.I.S. was found to be complete for review by Town Board
resolution on March 8, 1988; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on said draft G.E.I.S. on April 26, 1988;and
WHEREAS, after said public hearing a final G.E.I.S. was prepared and accepted by
the Town Board on September 20, 1988; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on the final G.E.I.S. on October 18, 1988;and
WHEREAS, the comment period on said final G.E.I.S. has expired; and
WHEREAS, 6 NYCRR 617.9 (c) requires that the Town Board make findings before
rendering a decision on any action; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that pursuant to 6 NYCRR 617.9 (c), the Town Board makes the follow-
ing findings for a local law entitled "A LOCAL LAW to amend the Town Zoning Code
and Zoning Maps incorporated therein, to implement, in whole or in part, the
recommendations of the Master Plan Update prepared by the Planning Board"
A. All S.E.Q.R. Procedural Requirements Have Been Complied with.
1. All requirements of the state and local law for the enactment of this
local law have been complied with.
2. All requirements of S.E.Q.R., including Article 8 of the State Environ-
mental Conservation Law, Part 617 of NYCRR, and Chapter 44 of the Town Code
of the Town of Southold have been met.
3. The Town Board has given consideration to the final G.E.I.S.
B. Density Reductions Will Not Affect Environment.
I. The following components of the proposed local law are found to not
have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
(a) Reduction of the ultimate additional population of the Town to
24,000 as recommended by the 1985 Master Plan. This is within the capacity of
the available water supply as projected by ERM Northeast in the North Fork
Water Supply Study.
(b) Creation of three (3) new zoning districts to further implement
necessary density decreases (R-120, R-200, and R-400).
(c) Creation of an Agricultural Conservation District to conserve
existing agricultural lands.
(d) Reduction in the acreage devoted to business and commerce by
ten persent.
(e) Reduction in the acreage devoted to industry by eleven percent.
(f) · Reduction in the land devoted to luxury market rate multi-family
housing by fourteen percent.
2.. These six (6) components listed above in Section B are found to
benefically affect the environment by maintaining groundwater quality and ground-
water quantity, preserving open space, conserving the Town's unique rural
character, and protecting the unique qualities of Fishers and Robins Islands.
3. In addition, these components promote the Town's economic and social
goals, consistent with the Master Plan Update.
4. The Town's major economic sectors of farming, fishing, tourism-and
the second home support industry, depend on a sound environment, protection
of natural resources and a unique rural character of Southold which makes it
attractive for growth.

C. Future Growth of Hamlets and the Hamlet Density District.
1. The 1985 Master Plan Update as implemented by this local law also
promotes growth around existing hamlets and population centers.
2. These components benefit the environment by limiting the extent of
residential sprawl which would despoil the area's valuable open lands, rural
character and other valuable natural resources.
3. This limitation on sprawling residential development also provides
economic and social benefits by limiting the need for services and infrastructure
in outlying open space areas which also have value as water recharge areas.
Thus, the tax burden needed for such utility extensions can be avoided. Further,
the growth of existing hamlets, including the business ditricts of Mattituck,
Cutchogue, and Southold, will be fostered.
4. Further, the proposal not only promotes growth' around existing
hamlet areas and population centers, but permitting such growth is also keyed
to the production of moderate income housing, thereby promoting the social goal
of meeting the Town's share of the regional housing needs.
5. While promoting growth around existing population centers limits
residential sprawl development, and the provision of incentives for moderate
income housing will benefit community-wide economic, social and environmental
goals, it is recognized that this policy could result in environmental impacts on
specific sites where future growth and housing incentives are allowed.
6. The following potential envionmental impacts could occur by fostering
growth around existing hamlets and promoting moderate income housing: (a) greater land disturbance and use.
(b) greater use of water around hamlet areas.
(c) an adverse impact on the Town's visual resources because of
denser development and posible construction of multi-family housing.
(d) the loss of some open space lands including farming.
(e) increased traffic and noise around hamlet areas.
7. With regard to the Hamlet Density proposal, the following mi,tigative
measures are incorporated into these findings:
(a) Allowing Hamlet Density projects only on a "floating zone" basis,
so that the Town Board approval for a zone change, and Planning Board approval
for site plan approval, must be obtained', thereby insuring full and careful review
of each project.
(b) Allowing Hamlet Density projects only within one-half mile of
the existing business districts of Mattituck, Cuthcouge, and Southold and the
boundary of the Village of Greenport and within one-quarter mile of the hamlet
business district in Orient, to limit residential sprawl.
(c) Limiting to fifteen percent of the existing number of single
family dwellings to be a policy limit on the number of multi-family dwelHngs in
each hamlet.
(d) Limiting the maximum number of Units on any site to one hundred
(100), or less than half of the hamlet's policy limit, whichever is less.
(e) Limiting building coverage to twenty-five (25) percent.
(f) Limiting projects to areas which have access to a major collector
road, or safe access to such a road through a single-family neighborhood.
Public water and adequate sewage disposal must be provided for
Adequate drainage, refuse collection, fire protection and under-
must be utilized.
Adequate open space must be provided.
Adequate screening must be provided.
D__ Future Growth of Waterfront Business and the Marine I and Marine II District.
1. The 1985 Master Plan Update as implemented by this local law also
seeks to encourage water dependent uses at appropriate locations.
2. The demand for expanded mooring and storage space is high and is
likely to grow, but potential sites are limited.
3. The existing zoning of such waterfront locations permits non-waterfront __
dependent uses to compete for these scarce locations with potential adverse iml~Ct.
4. A reservation of waterfront locations for waterfront dependent and
waterfront enhanced uses is necessary to promote the goals of marine development
consistent with environmental protection.
5. Certain waterfront locations along creeks have suitable harbor areas,
but less tidal flushing than sites with direct bayfront or soundfront connections.
6. Certain waterfront locations have major open water frontage, support
existing concentrations of marine commercial and industrial activity or are capable
of reasonable expansion without significant adverse environmental affects.
7. Such distinguishment creates the necessity for separate and distinct
marine districts to minimize the adverse effect of a single marine development
district and to minimize the effects of non-waterfront dependent or waterfront
enhanced uses on marine locations.
8. The proposed Marine I and~J~tarine II Districts would present fewer
adverse impacts on the marine environment than would existing zoning or a single
marine district.
NOVEMBER 29, 1988 13
9. To further mitigate the potential harm to the Town's creeks and
waterways the Town Board, as lead agency, hereby resolves that the Planning
Board and Board of Trustees:
(a) conduct coordinated reviews of all new marina proposals and
expansions of existing marinas;
(b) require pumpouts for all such expansions and new marinas;
(c) require community or public water supply and advanced waste
treatment for new marinas and expanded marinas in compliance with Article 6
of the Suffolk County Health Department Regulations.
(d) that the Planning Board insure against surface drainage from
marina activity from entering surface waters, and
(e) observe the recommendations of the Long Island Regional
Planning Board's Non-Point Source Handbook;
(f) that the Board of Trustees study each existing and proposed
marine district to set bulkhead limits and pier limits to provide for adequate
flushing and safe marine conditions.
E. Enlargement of Light Industrial Activity in Cutchogue.
1. The 1985 Master Plan Update is implemented by this local law seeks
to provide opportunities for the location of business and professional offices,
research facilities, industrial uses and similar activities, in an open campus like
settin9 in areas which are not appropriate for retail and wholesale commercial
activity or Iow density residential development.
2. It also seeks to provide opportunities for business and industrial
uses on smaller lots in appropriate locations.
3. It is possible that adverse impacts to groundwater, traffic carrying
capacity, visual character, noise and air quality may occur. However, the proposed
Local Law creates more stringent controls on permitted uses, lot coverage, and
landscaping than does the present code.
4. To further mitigate against potential adverse impacts from industrial
development in the Cuchogue industrial zones, the Town Board, as lead agency,
hereby resolves that;
(a) the Planning Board develop a plan for the entire proposed industrial
acreage in Cutchogue to determine the best allocation of industrial lots, road
pattern, drainage and screening.
(b) in consideration of proposed industrial uses, that wet industries
consuming more water on a per acre basis than two acre residential development,
be prohibited in this location.
F. Reinstatement of a One-Acre Residential District.
1. The 1985 Master Plan Update as implemented by this Local Law seeks
to provide for infill development within developed areas at densities compatible
with existing neighborhoods consistent with environmental concerns.
2. Development at such densities provides for transitional development
between hamlet densities and rural development.
3. Development at such densities in existing community settings lifts the
potential administrative burden of a single one-family zoning density by reducing
the potential number of area and yard variances.
4. In certain areas with shallow groundwater and no public water supply,
development at this density may cause wells to run dry or turn brackish near
the bayfront.
5. To further mitigate against potential adverse impacts, the Town Board,
as lead agency, directs the Planning Board consider all major subdivisions at the
proposed R-40 density without publie water supply be considered as a Type I
Action under S.E.Q.R.
G. Designation of Sage Boulevard Properties as M-II and R-80.
1. The 1985 Master Plan Update as implemented by this local law seeks
to properly designate future land uses on the westerly side of the Conkling Point
peninsula.
2. The zoning designations proposed in the local law are protective of
the undeveloped property in this vicinity, recommending an R-80 designation.
3. The existing marina has been designated M-II, consistent with the'-
1985 Master Plan recommendation as Marine Business.
4. The Town Board, as lead agency, for the sake of clarity, reiterates
its findings under Section D above, which in summary, are that water-dependent
uses require waterfront locations which are in scarce supply for commercial activity,
that certain locations better support more intense uses and should be zoned that
way and that the Planning Board and the Board of Trustees exercise special care
and coordinate reviews in waterfront locations.
H. Designation of the "Norris Property" as Hamlet Density.
1. This proposed local law does not implement the 1985 Master Plan Future
Land Use Plan for this property because the proposed local law honors a 1975
Suffolk County Supreme Court decision affirming, the current multiple dwelling
designation.
2. As long as no development:proposal was sought to be implemented under
that decision, no adverse environmental impact resulted.
14 NOVEMBER 29, 1988
3. A development proposal has emerged in recent years, seeking to
implement a residential project at densities that may today create adverse environ-
mental impacts unenvisioned in 1975.
4. Also, since S.E.Q.R. did not exist at the time of the Supreme Court
decision in 1975, and since a positive declaration has been made on the proposed
project, and since a draft EIS has been accepted by the Planning Board as lead
agency, an appropriate finding at this time for the proposed local law is that the
ultimate project approved for the "Norris Property" comply to both the zoning
provisions of this local law and to any and all findings under S.E.Q.R. for tl~e
proposed project.
I. Alternatives to the Proposed Local I_aw.
1. Several alternatives to the action were surveyed including:
(A) No action.
(1) The No-Action alternative is simply to do nothing I~urther
on the proposed Local Law and let the Ordinance and Zoning Map remain as is.
Compared with the proposed Local Law in terms of environmental impact, this
alternative is found to be not favorable. Among the many potentially significant
adverse impacts continued unmitigated by this course of action, but precluded by
the proposed Local Law are:
(a) Unchanged density in water quality stressed areas of Orient.
(b) Poor existing site plan review procedures and standards.
(c) Proliferation of environmentally damaging uses along sensi-
waterfronts.
(d)Excessive density on Robins Island.
(e)Excessive strip commercial zoning bordering hamlets.
(f)Over-intense industrial development.
(g) Insufficient flexibility in cluster developments to produce
best design with least impact.
(h) Insufficient landscaping and sign control to minimize visual
impacts.
(B) Partial Adoption of the Proposed Local Law.
(1) The G.E.I.S. found this alternative to be less acceptable
planning and an environmental point of view, and these findings
from a community
are adopted.
Development
the environmental
time.
Hold For Further Study or Install an Immediate Moratorium On
(1) The G.E.I.S. found that this alternative does not accomplish
improvements needed in zoning legislation in Southold at this
(2) This option would further delay any implementation of the
1985 Master Plan Update leading to the frustration of purposes and the erosion
of monentum gained in five years of comprehensive planning efforts by the Planning
Board and Town Board.
(3) Delaying adoption of the proposed Local Law does not
guarantee a significantly improved Local Law will evolve,
(4) Delaying adoption of the proposed Local Law exposes the
Town to adverse effects possible under development proposals allotted by the
present zoning code.
(5) Installing an immediate moratorium creates its own adverse
effects, including social and economic, which may outweigh any potential gain.
2. All three alternatives are thus found less acceptable in reaching the
goals of the 1985 plan regarding density, the promotion of housing for moderate
income groups and improved land use management and environmental control.
J. Summary.
The S.E.Q.R. finding can be summarized as follows:
1. The existing zoning ordinance does not fully implement the population
goals of the 1985 Master Plan Update thereby risking adverse impacts to water
quality, water quantity, rural character, and open space preservation.
2. Any adverse impacts to these resources Could also adversely affect
the Town's econcomic base which is dependent on these environmental resource~'~
3. The creation of new zoning districts with commensurate zoning map
amendments will reduce the ultimate additional population to 24,000 as recommended
by the 1985 Ma~ter Plan Update, thereby mitigating the potential adverse environ-
mental impacts which are possible under the current ordinance.
4. Providing for future growth around existing hamlets and population
centers will limit the potential for residential sprawl and its attendent loss of
natural resources and environmental impacts.
5. Fostering growth of e×isting hamlet areas will also have beneficial
economic and social impacts by limiting the need for expensive extensions of
services and infrastructure to outlying open areas. Further, directing growth
at existing population centers will promote the health of existing business areas.
6. Future growth in the hamlets is also keyed to moderate income housing
incentives, thereby promoting the social goal of meeting the Town's share of
regional housing needs.
NOVEMBER 29, 1988 15
7. The housing, waterfront business, light industrial, one-acre residen-
tial, "Sage Boulevard" and "Norris Property" components of the the proposal
could have environmental impacts in site specific projects, however, a multitude
of mitigative measures have been incorporated to limit any adverse impacts to
the maximum extent practicable, as detailed in Sections D through H above.
8. These possible environmental impacts which may occur in site specific
areas are far outweighed by the social, economic, and environmental benefits
which will accrue to the community as a whole as outlined herein upon adoption
of the proposed Local Law.
K. Conclusion.
1. Consistent with social, economic, and other essential considera-
tions, from among the reasonable alternatives thereto, the proposed Local Law
under consideration minimizes or avoids adverse environmental effects to the
maximum extent practicable, including the effects disclosed in the G.E.I.S.
2. Consistent with social, economic, and other considerations, to
the maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental impacts revealed in the
S.E.Q.R. process, will be minimized or avoided by incorporating those mitigative
measures into the Local Law and into local policy and practice, which are identified
as practicable.

-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: Now we have a lot of work to do. Is there any Council-
man, who would like to make any further comment, starting on my right?Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: No, thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Just one comment in relation to the letter from the
Chamber of Commerce, and their wishes. My feeling is also, such as theirs,
that garbage and refuse is paid for normally through taxes, but if you look
at this law closely you'll see that normal garbage and refuse from household
waste does pass into the landfill free of charge, either by being carried there
at a $2.00 fee to go to the dump. Which is more or less a registration fee to
prove you're a resident. That's all you have to pay in this town. What this
law does is just put the burden on the heavy users of the landfill. It puts
the burden on heavy construction and the people that are filling up our landfill
at a totally unrealistic rate. It takes the burden off the taxpayers, so it's
actually an advantage to the taxpayers because if we had to spread these increased
costs across the tax bases, the taxes in general would be high. So we've done
pretty much with this what we've done with the Building Department, and with
the Planning Board, is we've put the burden on the users, whether they be
developers, land clearers, or whatever, and taken it off the general tax base.
I feel that overall it has a great benefit to the Town. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Nothing. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Only that I totally agree with what George said,
and that was the philosophy and the reasoning we used behind all of this, land-
fill fees.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Raymond?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You should be happy, Raymond, with the fees going
in. It should reduce the overall cost for Fishers Island garbage. You did the
right thing. You voted for it.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Only time will tell.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At this time i would like to ask anyone in the audience,
if they would like to address the Town Board?
JOHN WALTERS: My name is' John Walters. When will we find out what these
fees are going to be?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They're going to be $1.00 a hundred, and they should
take effect around the first of the year. There will be advertisements. It will
be posted down at the landfill. Brochures will be handed out. Not brochures.
Flyers. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.) I would
like to welcome our representative of the County Exec., again, to Southold.
I'm glad to see you back here, Miss Hogan.
JOHN WALTERS: Are the' fees in the Town going to dropped as far as, like
I'm paying $250;00 to take my truck into the dump now?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: A commercial hauler. No. That is a registration for
the vehicle.
JOHN WALTERS: So in other words, an outside guy who just pays a fee from
the scale, and the local guy ....
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No. Any truck coming in carrying material has to-have
a license to come in. It has to be registered. All trucks will be the same.
When you use your license to pick up private garbage, you will not pay for
that. You'll only pay if you're picking construction debris, land clearing, etc.
If it is mixed though, it's going to have to be charged, Anyone else, who
would like to comment? (No response. ) If not, a resolution to close?
Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Councilman Penny, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 3:45 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Larsen, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman
Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy. This resolution
was declared duly ADOPTED.
