April 7,1987
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you,' Jay. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes, I'd-just like to--did you speak about the
TrUstees at ail, Jay? .JUrisdiction?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I did;
COUNCILMAN STOUTEIXBURGH:
make sure because I thought that was rather important.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE:
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH:
I Wasn't listening. I'm sorry. I just wanted to
You weren't lisl~ening to my report?
No... I Wasn't.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Can't say as I blame him'.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: My', report?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Bring him up on charges.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: You were not listening, Pau?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Paul, how can you do that?
COUNCILMAN ~C~HONDEBARE: Aren't you chairman of anything?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Just the Dog Pound. And on the 3rd and 6th attended
a meeting of Parks and Beaches, two meetings of Parks and Beach~s, which the
chairman will report on. Just wanted to let everybody, know I Was there.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank '~'ou, George. Jay?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: All right. We had a Highway Committee meeting
on the 4th~-the 2nd rather, in~which we reviewed a lot of subdivisions,~ and we're
having, as you know, our H ghway Superintendent goes over these subd~,isions and
wants clarification through the Highway Committ'ee and we sit 'down and discuss these
various proposed, such as thickness of roads, should we let this man make his roads
wider or narrower. .This:is 'the kind of thing we continually do at these meetings.
We did come up with an idea that we should be looking into some of our sumps and
trying to locate some spots for natural sumps, which are most important. As you
know with this rain problem that we've had lately we've had all kinds o'f water
problems and unless we start looking for places for this 'water to go, we're going
to be in £-roUble in the future, so Ray is getting a list of those for us. I think
the big news in the~highway area, and it 'doesn't have too much to do with highway,
but it does relate to our Landfill; which Ray Jacobs reported on, is that we have
our compactor, and I think ~his'is 'one of the big' things everyone was looking for.
i've seen it, and it 'looks good and hopefully it's going t° do a lot for our LandfilL-
We had a Farmland Committee meeting on the 2nd, and we reviewed with the owner
of the property, Jim Cross in- Cutchogue. There's some concern about values and
we're rethinking the value of the land. The people also wanted to know about the
movement of Krupski's house off the Farmland Proclram's property, ~nd want,ed to
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, as chairman of the Code Committee, the Code
Committee met on April 1st. We had a nice meeting with the Trustees. They.'re
going to get back to us. We di'.scussed their jurisdictiot~ on the Long Island Sound,
and we also discussed some of the problems that they were havini~ They've recomm~L~d
an amendment to our Code with regards to the place~nent~-placem~r~t in~ki'n~l o~ I~ul~---~.?~
heads .so that they can be viewed as simple repair~ without the necessity o~ going
through the whole permit process. So hopefully we. can reduce the time period from '
three months to one month. We went over the trailers. There's a number of-recommenda?
tions. I think we finally came out with a concrete proposal ~o submit to the Town
Board on the tr~lbrs. And we discussed, once again, the limitations with regards
to any time period on how long a subdivision can exist after it's been approved~ Like-
wise the ZBA advises what they're doing is~-their approvals are limited to three years
and after three years their approvals are void. We discussed the possibility of doing
tha~ With regards to subdivisions and the possibility of doing that with regards to
zoning. The idea basically being is :that we don't have problems like the C~rr and
Norris property popping up thirteen years after previous apprOvals have b~en granted.
I also attended the Highway meeting, of which the chairman will report on. T, here's
a Special meeting for the Code Committ'ee for this Tuesday, April '14th. These members
don't know because I just did it at the request of Victor Lessard, who told me that
information with regards to the construction and the Flood Plain area should have been-
on our books as of March 31st, and since it's not on our books as of that date people
who are living in that district could wind up being penalized in some manner with regards
to their ability to rebuild. So at his request I have called for a special me~ting on
Tuesday night, April 14th, 7:00' to 9:00 to discuss this and hopefully we ptJt it 'in place
at the next Town Board meeting. And that's it.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: At least you're honest, Paul.
April~ 7, 1987 63
make sure that was going along. I went up and reported that it was. It should
be off by this week if the rain stops. They're already to move the house on to the
new foundation. Also there was a Village Green meeting, and we're getting together
with more exact figures as to cost and who's goin~ to contribute what. Ir'becomes
a little sticky when you get more than one person involved in wanting to give money
for one thing, and I think the policy has been set by the group that they will' no
longer let anyone put money towards say a gazebo, or towards a walk, or planting
of particular trees. What they're going to do is take that money, put it into a pot
and then do the job accordingly without a name on each one of these things. ~ecause
these people were trying to compete to do them. On the 3rd we had interviews for
our Recreation Supervisor. We had four candidates of which one or two looked fairly
good. We're waiting for a decisibn or. d-,at because 'Sue Fossett, our now Supervisor,
is off on a convention and she thought she would find some of these names popping
up with people she was going to meet and so we are going to act on this quickly and
I'd like to make a recommendation that if we do come up with something we call a
special meeting some mor~ning at 8:00 o'clock and act on this 'thing, Frank, because
we do. need, and I think we'll try to have those as soon as she gets back here.
That's most important. On Monday the Park and Beaches met. We had a good meeting
there and we got a lot of things lined up for this~coming year at our beaches. As you
well know t.his-is'starting to run down to the season now when we'll have to be opening
our beaches. We're going to open them up on the 27th and 28th. Those are the days -.:
we're going to open our beaches. We have, I think, a pretty good control of our
beaches as far as .our attendants, our'lifeguards, our beach manager. We now have
dutie~ for each of these people, where years ago it 'was sort ~f a run-around. We
have a polic~ person who travels to each beach. I think it'~ much better run then
it has in:the past and I.m looking forward to a real good season. We have hired
our Beach Mana~._er, Bob Muir, once again. We did:have a meetin~l on the Plock
property, which !'11 let Jean fill us in:on, and I think that's about it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Thanks, Paul. Since Councilman Stoutenburgh gave
my report as Highway Chairperson, I have very little to report.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I didn't think I did a very good--I didfi't think
I did very well on it.~
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN- I think you did very well. But I had planned to report
on it.' Paul did cover everything pretty much. There 'were only one or two other
things as far as a change in specs for asphalt bidding, and that Superintendent Jacobs
will put the Long Island Rail;Road:on notice as far as the bridge on Bridge Lane,
because that is 'Rail Road property, the bridge, and he feels it'~ tim~ for inspection.
In addition I attended the Parks and Beaches Committee, of which Councilman Stoutenbur
has reported on. Also, as Paul mentioned, yesterday we did meet in; relation to the
Pldck property. It was a very productive meeting I felt. Not only were Paul and I '
there, and Professor Walter Smith from the Marine Center here in Southold, we also
had Ellen Larsen from the Trustees, Greg Rivi'e~a and Chris Smith from Home Extension,
Bayman Wentzel and Latson, and, of course, Jim' Mcl~lahon, and we had Dr. Walter
Blogoslowski from Milford. He's a federal employee, but he is one of the top fiv~
authorities on purging of clams to remove the pollutants i.n clams--deparation I believe
it'~ called, Paul, right? ...
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Quite a claim:to"fame isn!t it?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, it 'certainly is, But he's the top man in his'field,
and we ~ent down and spent about an hour or hour and a half at the Plock ~roperty,
and then came back and discussed it. He felt that the first step that the Town should
take 'is to have coliform tests done in both the pit and ~he lake under the ~uildin9.
So I did contact Jim' Redman today and the State would be helping us with that. The
only thing is'l have to notify the Bay Constable so that this is:who they'll work ~.
together to do these tests, Frank, so I have to take cafe of that in the morning. ~,
There is some possibility that the facility might prove valuable, but we have to c~o '
~y steps and the first step is :the testing, getting the DEC involvec~and Mr.
Blogoslowski i's 'attending a conference in: two weeks a.nc~ he will' be talking to one
of the DEC people--it won't be Jim' Redman because hels not going to this 'conference,
but one his people is 'goin~ so they're going to disct~ss it and see if the land does
have a value and it would be a positive step ~for the Town to take it over. Also I
had the pleasure of guest speaker at the League of Women Voters, and the topic'was
"Women in Government". I think it went very well. i thank them for their kind
invitation. That's it,' 'Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: 'fhanks, Jean. Ray?

JUSTICE EDWARDS: We over on the Island got the same arr~ount of rain-as you have
here and the reservoir is ~over the top and some wet spots in~ the road. ~.lso I couldn't
fly out last night, I had to take the long ferry ride and~left Fishers Island quarter to
fi~e and got Over here about 8:30... The neb terminal, I'm 'surprised that none of the
newspapers have gone over there and taken'. ~i~ture~s- of the new terminal in' New London.
It's moving right along and loOks like that will'be open some time in june. I've been
working on my new office over there at the movie theatre at the Island. We put. some
electrici'ty into it,'and now-~e-~-r~-~-r~i-~.g it "in~ Going to' put some paneling on the walls~
It's going to be a nice meeting room this summer when I have to hold court over there,
other then the State Police Barracks, which I have been. Using,. And the Fishers Island
Telephone C ~ast.week, which
I wa:
on the
Island was one ~ ~ the alarm business.
And we 'hav,
~sland, Fishers
and it,S ,l:een a. very active winter ar, d spring and I Can i. the summer is
going to be like. Our two State Troopers have been will' be
there the first of May. He'll sta~;.unl~il '1 one will
come sometime in the middle of June through the' middle o.f SePtember~. So the Island
is starting to get alive. Thank_ you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. i'd just like to make a couple other comments.
One, we ~almost had a near tragedy .in* tl~e Docj Pound, and hOpefUlly w~'li get completed
in there. It has gone on much too long and it really is;terrible: and thank God nobody
really got hurt. I ~vould like to acknowledge 'publicly the report from the Economic
Advisory Committee. I think they did~an excellent job and gave an excellent report,
and maybe we'd want to discuss it~-the aspects of it--
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We've asked them to cpme in the first Board meeting
in'May to make a litt'le presentation to us. ! just did that today.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes. The only other one is I almost became very famous.
I was in~ited to the fourth gr. ade at one of the grammar schools to discuss the history
of Southold Town and its Town Seal, and it seems this 'litt'le kid=-each one P, ad to invite
a Supervisor of the Ten Towns, and about the history--so I brought ours down and a
litt'le'history of the Town' and was talking to them. Well this *kid goes home at night
and tells his*father, he says, "Eddie Murphy was in*our class today.!' And the father ~
sais~ "Eddie Murphy? Why was' he there?" ~nd the kid*says, "Yeah, Eddie*Murphy.
You know, the Governor of the ~o~n." So it 'was good. The kids had a good time.
It's a good l:rogram and We're very happy to participate on behalf of the Town.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Could I say one thing? 'Just for the people who
weren't here two or 'three weeks ago when we talked about this:Plock property--you
might not quite understand why we're investigating this. As you know, many of our
creeks--not many, but two of our creeks have already been closed and there's a
possibility of other creeks closing, and the only way a Bayman can utilize' ~.is'clams
then that he gets out of an area is 'to take them in: and have them purged or cleansed,
and that's basically what we're thinking of using this area for. if it 'can't be used
for that, I don't see too m~ch other need for it,' right Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCF, I~AN: I agree.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: But I think it's good to understand why we're
looking into this.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul.

petition of Herb Mandel for a change of zone from "A" Residentia~ and Agricul~ural
to "M" Light Multiple R~sidence Distric~ on property located~east of Boisseau Avenue
and south of Yennecott Drive, Southold. I Offer that resolution.
15. Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, it Was
RESOLVED that pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law, State
EnvirOnmental Quality Review and 6NYCRR Part 617, and Chapter 44 of the Code of
the Town of Southold, notice is'hereby given that the Southold Town Board, as lead
agency for the action described be'10w, has determined that the project, which is un-
listed, will' not have a significant effect on the environmenf.
Description.of.Action: Petition of Herbert R. Mandel for a change of zone from "A"
Residential' and Agricultural District to "M" Licjht Multiple Residence District on Certain~
property located east of Boisseau AvenUe and south of Yennecott Drive, Southotd, N.Y.
Thi~ determination of non-signifi~:ance has been arrived at for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zone Would allow, in effect, a doubling of ~the permitt'e(
density on the site compared to existing zoning, as conditibned by petitioner's letter of
March 4, ;1987~. ~.~As such it 'would require Suffolk County Health Services approval for
both water supply and sewage disposal. Should public water serve the proposed develop-
ment, no significant impact on groundwater is antici'pated. Approval by Suffolk County
Department of Health Services and by the Village of Greenport of connection to the
Greenport water system should precede full preliminary approval of the subdivision by
the Southold Town Planning Board.
(2) Since a signifi~:ant change in'the runoff characteristics of the site is proposed,
adverse off-site drainage imPacts are possible. These can be eli~minated by Planning
Board approval of a drainage plan that recharges all drainage flow on sit~ above that
rate naturally flowing off site.
(3)' During construction, adverse air quality impacts are possible. The use of
standard dust control and vehicular 'emissions control measures will eliminate air quality
impacts. Dust control measures shall be approved by the Planning Board.
(4) During construction, adverse noise impacts are possible. Scheduling con-
struction during normal working hours and buffering existing dwellings with landscaping
and earth berms will'mitigate again§t any signifi~:ant adverse impacts. ·

man Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
This 'resolution was declared 'duly ADOPTED.

resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS' RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. That pursuant to the provisions of Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation
Law, Part 617 of Title 6 of the New York State Codes, Rules and Regulations, and
Chapter 44 of the Southold Town Code, the Southold Town Board, as lead agency,
does hereby, determine that the action, which is 'unlisted, is 'likely to have a significant
effect on the environment~ as the proposal would introduce a signifi~:antly different
charcter to this 'primarily residential' segment of Main Road and warrants preparation
of a full Environmental Impact Statement if the zone change is to be contemplated by
the-ri'own at all. ~

APRIL 7, 1987
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
Is there any Town BOard Members like to make any other comments? Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just a couple little comments here. Number one, normally we
give a little resume of what we've done in the past couple, weeks. I'm going to give
you a litt~le resume of what I have coming up. I have court in~ here all da~ tomorrow.
Thursday~ m°rning'l'm meeting with the §Upervisor of Motor Vehicle~ in Riv~.rhead and
I'm going to get some instruction on using the camera and I!11 be bringing l~he camera
over: to take motor ve'hicl'e driver's license picl~ures on the' Island two tim~s a year.
So I have another hat that I can wear. And I also have to drive down to Hauppauge
to do some work for one of my constituents on the Island. So 1'II be lucky if I get
home Thursday night. More like Friday morning. Thank you, Frank.
Okay, that's the end of our prepared and added-on-to agenda;
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, more or less under good and welfare as far as
the community is concerned. As you know the straightening of the curves lin' Laurel
has caused some negative feeling in' relation to the pub~liic'in the removal oflso ~many
trees and Councilman Penny ~t our,;Higbway meeting did bring up the fact that on
Sound Avenue they are also pl~nnirig tO straighten curves~ up there and we were
informed that they were. just going tol~e remOving trees from' One side-, but according
to their correspondence they will: be removing trees from both sides of the road for
a distance of 20 'feet, and if you're familia~ with the area, that' means ther.e's going
to be an awful lot of trees taken down. So we felt that We would place this 'in our
tickler file and once the definite plans came down that we certainly would make sure
that the neighboring area would be aware of the fact of what was going on ~there and
not be promised a certain amount of trees come down and find out that it'~s quite barren
the next day.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Paul? (Nothing.) Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, just one. On number 17 that we apprp, ved, I
noticed that the Surety Bond is from the North River Insurance Compan~ in' New
Jersey. It says they are authorized to do business in the State of New Jer~sey. As
you know we've had-the Union Indemnity Insurance on the bonds for a lot of these
and it went bankrupt. The State Insurance 'Fund took. it 'over. Union Indemnity Was~
authorized to do business in'the State of New. York. My question now is; we're
to start seeing the North River Insurance Company. Are they also, if'any~hin'~Li~
to them, going to be picked up by the State Insurance Fund? Are they autho~iz~
do business in the State of New York? Remember we went through this'before, between
approved and authorize~l? Itl doesn't say on their~bond. And I'm wonderin~ if:they
go under are we out of luck'.or W~ill'the State Insurance Fund come in'and pick it 'up?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We could ask. This is ~not that critical as far as the insurance
policies that we-:were trying to get for our liability coverage, but it is a point.
COUNCILMAN S~CHONDEBARE: Well at the Highway meeting we were talking about'it,
and some of them from the Union had gone under, and at least the State Insurance
Fund came in and picked it up. Now .the question is 'is 'this ~company authorized to
do business in this State?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you want to maybe amend it providing that this company
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Is'authorized to do business in the'State of New York.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any problem with that, George? (None.) Paul? (No.)
~Jean? (1 have no problem. I think it's a good point;) Ray? (No, no problem.,)
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Then amend the resolution to provide for it.'.:'
COUNCILMAN
PENNY:
That's ali the more reason for the Councilman to stay on the
Board next' year so he can pick up these things for us.
38. Moved by Councilman Schondebare, seconded by Supervis6r Murphy, it 'was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby amends their
Resolution. No. 17, adopted this date, April 7, 1987, acceptin~ the $100',000.00
performance bond from Greenport Development Corp. for the bluff plantings for
the condominium proposal to be known as "The Breakers at Lands End", located

APRIL 7, 1987
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: No, nothing at this:point. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ! Would just like to comment, Jean, on the trees. I think
it's very~ important that we fix' real serious defects in' the highway ....
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I have no problem with that point.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The one in'Mattituck, in:particular, was terrible.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, it 'was, and ! am well aware that the safety of
the people in:relation to the highways is number one', and-b~cau'S~e you canalWays
replan~t t.rees, you can't bring someone back to life, but I think in'fairness to the
community when they are told that a certain number of trees are going to go down
and then it becomes more barren, I-j'ust think that it behooves us as Town offici'ats
to put on notice the people in' the area of Sound Avenue so they can~.go and~check
the plan and understand so 'that when the final plan comes down they have the
opportunity to see and address it.~
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The State does do this on all projects.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I know they do.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ~ I agree with you, most of the time people don't take the time.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Don't take the time until 'after the fact, and they you
can't rectify it.'
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thosei'~down int Laurel did; The people on. the Main Road
who were affected, I know did go into our Chamber building.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: My point being that when something like this'comes along
it 'wouldn't hurt us, as Town offici'a[s, to give a second notifii:ation to the neighbors.
letting them know what the situation is 'and then they have the responsibility, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: 'Sure. Okay, at this ttime is~there anyone in the .audience like
to add~ess the Town Board on any matter? (No response.) This is too easy.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Why are you here?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They're impressed with us.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: The newspapers are getting paid; We know who they
are.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay at this~time I'd like to thank everybody for coming out
tonight and I think we could entertain a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Councilman Schondebare, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 8:25 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board~ Ayes: Councilman Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Council-
man Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
