to serve both'functions; naming a committee will serve to 'qualify So~thold as a designated
Bicentennial. Community. Both Federal and State committ'ees for the Constit~ition are
moving very. slowly and ~Suffolk County's Committee was just designated last week. A
stumbling block for Southold!s.,plan to celebrate ConstitLition Day on September 17th
is'th~ fact that most, if:nOt all, local schools plan to be in'session on that Thursday.

drafting as a Lo'(~al Law. Mr. Stack advised 'the Board they are aiming to ,have 350
landmarks designated by Southold's :350th year; app'roxim~tely '35 have been de~at,~
so far. The second part of the survey will be completed by June and mo~e de~nations
will' be forthcoming. They are planning to scan-out "Constitution HouSes for the Sept-
ember celebration. It was agreed that the Landmark Commission would send notices
to all designees and proposed designess of the proposed amended law prior to a public
heari ng.
10:30 A.M. - J~)seph Townsend, Jr. ,.brought the Board up to date on the plans for

Mattituck, met with the Board to discuss an easement on West Mill Road to install
a sewer line to cesspools to be placed across the street from the property by direction

way Excavation Permit; perhaps a permit 'from the Town. Trustees, DEC, and Corps
of Army Engineers permits, Cesspool Con3ti~Uctioh and. Operation Permits, and should

SUPE. RVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
MARCH 24, 1987
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, on T.hursday the 12th Councilman Stout~nburgh,
myself, Jim' McMahon met with Chuck Bowman of the Land Use Company in relation
to the Plock property and the Board received the report this morning and ~they have
agreed to bring Dr. Walter Blogoslawski 1~o Southold for Consulation in: relation to the
property. On the 16th we had .a ~3uildin~s and Grounds m~ee,tinCj to'. discuss the replace-
ment of windows and insulation at the Police Headquarters, and ~iso discussion on the
storage building, it was decided, to hold on the storage building, but we are
. proceeding as far as the window replacement. I had contacted Gary Strang.
Unfortunately his 'information came in' sometime 'during the day and i wasn't .aware
of it; so t'm going to put it'on the agenda for a di:s~:ussion for the next meeting.
Also on the 16th i attended the meeting in' relation to, the Village Green-which;-:iS'.
being developed down on the Hartranft corner, and Di~:k ward did' presented the
proposed plan for th~ Green. Some additional suggestions were made and he will
be coming back with a final plan, we hope, for the meeting ~on~ the 27th. In addition
to that we've been meeting i~i'relation t(~ the Master Plan l~!eview. On the 18th i had
a Landmark Preservation meeting, and again you've heard some of. their plansand they're
beginning to plan for the celebrations that are coming}in:,re!ation to the Constitution
and Southold's 350th Year Celebration. Also i had the opportunity-to attend a meeting
of the committee in' relation to the Cast 'Substance Abuse Committee. i met over at
Southold School with representatives from each-of the three Schools and Peg Katze'nberg,
the Chairman, and Dr. Helen Price, who will' be serving as Chairperson of Substance
Abuse Week, and they came up with some absolutely fantastic 'ideas in relation to Sub-
stance Abuse Week when it's held this year. Also I attended the Landfill'meeting, of
which Councilman Schondebare will be reporting on. And inbetween i had the opportunit~
to meet with Dr. Nelson~-Mr. Nelson--actually the three prindpals, Nephew, Nelson and
Burns, from the three high schools, in relation to the Youth Recreation Advisory Board
which we are developing. They've been very cooperative and supportive and feel that
it's an excellent opportunity for young people to have the opportunity for input as to
activities and services that the Town provides. So i have hopes that within the next
month' we should begin meeting with that group. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR M~JRPHY: Thank you, Jean. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: As Jean has said: i met with her on the Plock
property on the 12th, and the 16th we had a Water Advisory meeting in:which we
got our first maps from the. County.: Remember what we're trying to do here is:to ~
get the basic maps of our Town and then get overlays of where the areas are and
things of this sort so that we can find 'out exactly where perhaps the best water
dome, and then go see if we can find some'funds to purchase these to protect our
freshwater areas in the Town. We are having aeria~ maps now put on--gathered so
that we can actually pinpoint these places on our maps. The Water Advisory Committee
also met with -the Utility Company of Greenport Utility, and hopefully through these
two water people they're going to get an understanding of each other's policies, and
! think that's a__most important thing because the Village of Greenport has, of course,
the only so-called city water in-our Town and if'we're working on a Water Advisory
for the whole Town here, we surely should know what the Village is 'doing, and they
are very cooperative and we're working out very well .with them. i again was with
the Landfill Committee, which Jay will report on. We've had a series--and i'm sure
Jean sat; in'on many of these-:our Master Plan. We've had two and a half days of
them, and i don't think we'll report anything more, ibu:t we made very good progress
on a lot of loose ends on our Master Plan, and i think we're pretty well set on our
ideas of where we should go with our Master Plan. i guess that's about all, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, we did:have a Landfill meeting. One of the
things we came away with is :that we're going to try to separate the tires--vehicle
tires--from the rest of the garbage and trash at the Landfill'. We're going to have
a roll-off and put it up where we presently have the, oil deposits for. disposal of
tires. For the boys in the audience, what happens is 'if'you bury a tire in' the
Landfill:and you bury it way down deep, sooner or later for some reasOr~that i
don't know, but I'm sure physicist will tell you what it'is: the tire always comes
back up to the top. And you take the tire and you bury it down there, and you
cover it 'all up again, and within a short period of time the tire is 'going to come
back up to the top again. So what happens to you if you go to any landfills, and
we went to Brookhaven one time~and saw their:landfill' and they had these areas
nicely covered and you see all these tires all over the place. They all pop. ~up to
the top. So we know we've got a problem, so we have to separate the tires out
from the rest of the trash. So we're going to set up a roll-off and have the people
drop their'tires off in an area designated, so we're not going to bury them anymore.
We're also probably going to wind up hiring a superintendent for the Landfill. We
realize' we have a need for basically personnel up there that have more experience
then what we presently have, because the situation issuch that the biggest ~ expense
in' this Town basically is going to be our Town Landfil'l'~ So as much as it behooves
us to start talking about garbage all the time, that's what we do~ We start a lot of
MARCH 24, 1987
time here talking about garbage and what we're going to do with it. We have a
Code Committee meetin~l coming up next week and an agenda out on it.' There's no
way | don't ;~hink we're ever going to get through everything that's ~in' that Code
Committee for next week, but it ~will' be very interesting. There's a lot of topics up
there that I think people will'be interested in ~and i would suggest more community
participation, or at least awareness of itl because bY and large the only ones who
show at the Code Committee meetings are, in~ fact, the members of the committee.
Thank you, Frank.
StJPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. George?
COIJNCi~IAN PENNY: Yes, on the 10th'i was~.iucky enough to pass through Los
Angeles, and i was able to attend a demonstration project on a waste distillation
system. Jay just got through talking about garbage and l~d like you ~o know that
even the islands like the Virgin Islands have the same problem that we do. Where
do you put the garbage? There were representatives from the Virgin' Islands there
and also other representatives from Putnam County, New York. The waste distillation,
i feel, is ~a viable alternative for our Landfill in'~1990, and the main reason is because
it'has a unique way of handling wood, rubber and plastics. A lot of the other systems
that we've talked about we have to bypass these products~ but this 'one handles every-
thing very nicely, it'turns everything into '~harcoai. On the 16th i attended a meet-
ing of Buildings and Grounds. On the 16th again'a Police Committ'ee meeting, and a
Water Advisory Committee meeting. On the 17th a W0rk~session on~ th.e Master Plan,
where we addressed the marine uses. On the 17th the Kenn~'s 'Beach S~n~ ~-~osion
~ommittee met to discuss some alternatives for what we're goi~ng to do to hopefully
spruce up Kenny's Beach for the springtime. We've appli~l to the ~County for some
dredging spoilage, and i understand the County Dredging Commitl~ee met today, so
we're just waiting anxiously to see what the results of that meeting is~ On the 18th
we had a Commerce and Industry Committ'ee, and amount the things that we discussed
was the Master Plan, home occupations, the landmark Law, a~cessory apartments, and
the new laws and modifications that are being offered~ the North Promotion Committ'ee
and also the Water Advisory Committee and their'Water Management ~ Report. On the
19th ! attended a meeting of the Landfill' Committ'ee, which C~Un~il~an Schondebar~
already reported on. And then again on the 19th and th',e 20th welhad se~eral--I'~
sorry, on the ~19th we had several sessions on the ~laster Plan worl~ sessions. On
the 19th ! at. tended a public'hea~ing--not to listen, but to'speak, and that was a
~Coastal .Eros.on .Hazard' Act bearing'run by the DEC in~ Riverh~ad, ~nd the Coastal
~rosion ~azard Act is a very, very suspicioUs bill that is~being presented by th'e
DEC at this time~ and what it 'says is 'that if you have a house that is~alonn ~h~
shoreline and .f ~t s ~n a certain area and ~t's knocked down by~ a s~orm or by a
flood, that the possibility is'is ~that the State may be tei!ing you th~at you can't re-
build. Well, i found exception to this and ! found out ~l~so by talking to several
legislators that there are amendments that are already in ~the works on this, so
hopefully this bill will' be buried somewhere up in' Albany. On the 23rd we had. a
meetinq on the Master Plan, and on the 23rd again I~he Water Advisory Committee
meeting, and again today on the Master Plan. So it's been pretty ~usy for tl~e
last week or ten days.
SIJPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Paul, you had one more thing?
COLINCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes, i neglected to tell the audience that i attended
the Farmland Preservation meetin~ last week° and we've added one more farm to our
lis~. And for you boys in'the audience i think that you should understand that your
Town has a program where they're buying what they call Development Rights. Now,
we all know what a farm is, and we know that a lot of our farms are being taken up
by houses~ and pretty soon we won't h~ive any more farms, and so the people of
the Town voted a large sum of money, millions of dollars, to buy these so-called
Farmland Rights. Now what this 'means is 'that if'l owned a farm, or if you owned
a farm, we would go in and say we'll ibuy your development rights, whicl~ means you
can't ever sell that to a developer, but you can still'-go ahead and farm it.~ You can't
build on it~' but you can farm it. And seeing you're giving up something, we'll pay
you for that, and usually it'~ about half the value of the land. So you can get a
fairly nice chuck of money back, and still keep farming, and we have taken in--how
many have we had already.? Do you recall, Frank?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Numbers?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes~ in' farms.
StJPERVISOR MURPHY: Fourteen, twelve.
COIJNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes° about fourteen farms we've saved, and they'll
always be. So when you g~ow up and .your children are your size' there'll always be

MARCH 24, 1987
51
it's just a big box truck, and the~ will install a freeze'r unit on the outside of it.

they deliver ~them to the boat and sometimes they have to sit 'out in~ the open for
three or four hours before the boat goes because there's no way that all the trucks
can~ come dQwn there fifteen mi'nutes beforehand, so they have this'big refrigerator
truck that they put all the perishables in~ including mill~ and meat and so fortl~,, and

ali the fruit ;and produce and meat fresh. Thank you, Frank.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: i'd like to reopen our regular Town Board meeting and go
back to resolution no. 22, which is the authorization for the~ Fisl~ers Island Ferry
Disl~rict to accept a b~d~
Moved by Justice Edwards~ seconded by Councilwoman Cochran, it ~was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby authorizes the
Board of Commissioners of the Fisl~ers Island Ferry District to accept the bid of
Thames Shipyard & Repair'Co., l~ew London, Connecticut, for drydockin~ the
MV RACE POINT, at the bid price of $~,050.00, plus $40.00 each for the installation
of sacrificial anodes and for the accomplishing of the following supplemental work as
may be found necessary at the tim~ of drydocking: 1. Shaft removal and gauging
(per shaft) - $1,250.'00; 2. Renewal of strut bearing (per bearing) - $850.00; 3.
Hull Plating renewal - $25.'00 per hour, $.35 per pound.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: i'I1 make a little explanation on this~ All of the steel vessels,
even some of your newer wooden vessels and fiberglass, will have what we call zinc
anodes on the shafts--on,the propeller shafts, because there's a lot of electrolysis
in the water between the d~s$imila~r metals and electrical circuits that are in the water
that shouldn't be there, and rather than have a propeller, or a rudder, or a shaft
disintegrate with this electrolysis, the zinc will go first because it's a soft metal, so
every time they haul ~t out they replace the zincs on the shaft. Now, when they
pull the Motor Vessel Race Point out--she's only a couple of years old--but they pull
the shafts out of it to make sure the sh~fts are straight, if'they hit a lobster pot
bouy sometimes it ~will thro~ it off~ and if~it is thrown off and they don't correct it,"
then it can cause some serious damage inside the hull, and the last item here, hull
plating renewal, if when they get the boat hauled out they see there's some bad spots
in' there that they have to cut the steel out and ~eplace, they have a pri~e~or~ there
of $25.00 per hour for cutting it out, repladng and grinding, and $.35 a pound for
the steel that they have to put in there. Thank you, ~rank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. Any other comments? (No response.)

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, t'hat~ the end of our prepared and added-on-agenda.
At this 'time i would like to ask any Town Board member if'they have anything further?
George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, Frank. it's curious, i think, that the Town Board maybe
should look into this; When i was at this public hearing in Riverhead, which as i stated
earlier was the first public:hearing that i've ever attended outsid~ my functions here
as Town Board member in:the Town of Southold. It was rather curioQs the way that
it's handled, The Chair:recognizes the people from the audience and responds to
questions from the public~-gives them direct answers, tells them when they're in' line
and when they're out of line with their comments, and it'§ a much more workable
program, and I feel that in the public hearings that I've attended here that have been
run by the Town of Southold, this :hasn't been done and I see a certain sense of
frustration with the people in' the audience, i've been told that our meetings are just
for the public to give us information. Well, that's not the way this one was run and
i'd like to look into this a little bit 'further, because it was an entirely different way
of looking at things and mayl~e it!s the way that the audience can get a better sense
of partici'pation with our Town Board. It is monitored very carefully by the moderator
or by the Chair~ Questions are referred tO members of the panel, and they answer
them if'they can, and if:not--and all of this goes into the public'record. It may take
a little more time, but i. feel it'~ a lot closer working relationship' with the audience
and i feel that i'd like the policy committee to look into this and find out if'this'is'
consistent with the way other towns run their meetings.
MARCH 24, 1987
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: i'd suggest that you talk to the Town Attorney. Any other
c0mments? - Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, i 'haveone. As you know how I feel about the
Master Plan~, and. I made that clear, i don't plan on voting in' favor of it~-I don't
like it. But I thought you agreed that y~u were going to send the present one that
you amended to the Planning Board. Yo~ re not going ,to give this'to the P anning
Board before you send it ~o~f to have thee map red'ne again?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The map has to be marked to give'it "to the Planning Board.
CO.U..NCiLMAN SCHONDEBARE: Can't ~he planning B0ard~take the markings that Da~
Em~lita has and look at them? Why do you want to send it 'off and have i~ 'all-~nice n~
map and then give it to the Planning Board? Suppose they come up with some changes?
COUNCILWOI~AN COCHRAN: i think they should look at it ~first.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We make the changes. The Planning IBoard-does not make
changes.
£OUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Suppose they have suggestions. Do you plan on
giving it to the Planning Board, i'm saying, before you have the next public'hearing?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They have a copy.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: You have to. By law we have to refer it ~to'~them.
COUNCiI_M~N SCHONDEBARE: That's what i thought. So suppose they come out
with some suggestions to you?
SUPERVISOR MtJRPHY: Then if~we have to we'll rechange the' lines.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Then we'll have to start all over'again~
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Do it before it'~ mailed off. Jay's right. Good point.
SUPERVISORRoom .of the map. MURPHY: They have a copy. There is a copy marked up in'the Boar~
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Of ~he new changes that you've made as of today?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That Dave will'show the' Board on Friday.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: And he has it 'and they can see and they'll know all
the changes th~at~ you're making.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.~ They're all marked on the map.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Bu~ that's the map Diane is sending off.
COL1NCILMAN SCHONDEBARE~ Why are you sending it out tomorrow morning if"the
Planning Board hasn't seen it?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: He recommended that we send it ~out right away.
COUNClI_MAI~ $CHONDEBARE: Who's "he"?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Dave Emilita.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: i thought these changes were going to be checked
by the Planning Board.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We have the say, but, fine, we will have some comments fro
the Planning I~oar~d on any we changed.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: i think we should.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And I'll call up RPPW in'the morning and tell them not to
touch a line until we talk to th~m after Friday.
COUNCII~,~AI~ SCHONDEBARE: It maizes sense to me.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, will'be done.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Are you votin§ on that?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: ~No, i'm not voting on that one either.
MARCH 24, 1987
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
Any other comments? Pau? (No.)
Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: i would just like to reinforce that i 'would hope.that
both the map and the changes in:the Code would be passed to them for review before
the map is:sent away for final printing.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Judge Edwards?
JUSTI,CE EDWARDS: I iust want to make one comment, Frank, to go on record.
presented you with an envelope today regarding the: 911 charges that the Fishers
Island Fire Department are incurring witl~ their,'911 system, and that inasmuch as
the taXpayers of Fishers ISland are paying for the Enhanced-911 in'the Town of
Southold, it'~ .only right that somehow Southold should make amends and pay for
the 911 at Fishers ISland, and Supervisor Murphy' is'going to look into tHis'and
possibly the: 911 from Fishers Island can come into Southold PD at no cost to the
individual districts, but only on the taxpayer basis: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ' Thank you, sir~ Okay, at this'time i would like to ask
anyone in'the audi~ence if'they would like to address the Town Board? On my left?
Ed?
ED SIEGMANN: Mr. Chairman, first i'd like to thank the Board for giving an
opportunity to express our opinion on the Norris property sitt~ation. Sometimes
you'd have to be somewhat patient with me, and i hope that. continues because we
were encouraged by the three "yes" votes that we had today, and we hope that
by the time the public'hearing 'is-held that we'll be able to advance l~he information
that some people need in' reference to voting, and that will be done at the public
hearing that you call. i also would like to make a suggestion to the Board. i think
that the Town ought to make a study in' reference to what the cost is'between having
an in-house counsel and paying legal fees the way you do at the present time, 'and i
think if you were to come to the conclusion that having in~house counsel would not
cost you more, or possibly even less then it :does at the way you operate now, that
we then Wouldn't have to worry about derisions being made on the basis 'of whether
something is 'going to go to court or not. Because if'you had an in~house counsel
at that poi.nt you have~ the representation, you don't have to pay additional money
for a lawyer,- and i think il would be a wo~thwhil~ thing to look into and see what
the difference would be.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: It's well noted, Ed. Thank you.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: i'd like to make a comment, Frank. i think in regards to
more information at the public hearing, i Would like to have that information before
the public hearing so I could digest it.
MR. SIEGMANN--F If we have it before--see we're in a find with having to wait for
the engineering company that's working- for us to give us the information, if we
have the information prior to the meeting we would be willing to do that. if we
don't have its-in. fact we called him: today and asked him to please get to work
faster then what they are in reference to the information that we need.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ed. Jln the middle? Ruth?
RUTH OLIVA: Back to the Master Plan. We would agree with Councilman Cochran---
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Who's "we"?
RUTH OLIVA:
agree with CouncilWoman Cochran that the revisions to the Master PI~
handled in an unethical manner. Certain:people have been invited ir
word-of-mouth, to express their specifi~::concerns without benefit :of
whereby all sides of an issue can be represented. This 'is not good
of the basic-issues have not even been discussed. Specifically, the
of a comprehensive master plan are inconsistent with the zoning impl.
This plan is, for the most part, a legalization of what is 'already the
be better to take a step back in'order to evaluate our environmental
and then devise our Master Plan around these findings, as was done
Jersey's Master Plan. The timeframe in:order to accomplish this :wou
ordinary. Most of the studies are already in'existence. Southold w.
