This propos,ed project would create 12 much needed slips for commercial' baymen at a suggested rental of $350.00 per year. An estimate submitted by Costello Marine Contracting Corporation indicates a total cost of $11,360 based on the cost of today's material prices. It was suggested that all concerned meet with the Town Trustees to disCuss the feasibility of the project and that a complete proposal for the project be submitted to the Town Board for further discussion at the next work session. 9:25 A.M. - Stanley Parkin, representing the North Fork Country Club, appeared before the Board to discuss their application for a temporary trailer permit at the club site on the corner of Moores Lane and Route 25, Cutchogue.

Kapell, agent for Jem Realty Co.

The Board has not made a decision with r~__~o~_cf to thi~ petition. Mr. Kapell asked the Board to reconsider the original petition which was filed and disregard the amendment. It was the decision of the Town Board that Jem Realty must file a new petition, whereas the entire matter was considered previously based upon the amendment. 9:45 A.M. - Herodotus Damianos, M.D., for Pindar Vineyards, appeared before the Board to discuss the waiver requested to file for a change of zone which was discussed by the Board at 9:30 A.M. Dr. Damianos advised the Board that Pindar is now producing above the 50,000 and now need a commercial license and under the zoning regulations is required to be in a business zone. He was instructed to secure the necessary applications from the Town Clerk's office to file a change of zone petition. Dr. Damianos apprised the Board of recent national awards to Pindar Vineyards for the quality of their wine and invited one of the Board members to appear at a upcoming Vineyard Associa[ion meeting to be held in Riverhead. 9:55 A.M. - For Discussion items: (7) Proposal of Gary E. Loesch, P.E., Holzmacher, McLendon & Murrell, P.C., to provide engineering services in connection with the preparation of a Solid Waste Management Study for the Town of Southold (see resolution no. 23), and (8) Discussed letter from the Association for the Help of Retarded Children describing a potential community residence site containing 2.9 acres on Horton Lane, Southold, where they plan to construct a new residence to house from 4 to 14 persons.

(10) Contractual agreement with Barbara Strang (see resolution no. 25). 10:00 A.M. - Venetia McKeighan, Director of the Southold Town Nutrition Center, and licensed nurses Alice Albertson and Linda Graham met with the Board to discuss their proposal for a "Friends of Hospice" program to be implemented in two phases: Phase I includes support services that are presently available through the Nutrition Program: home delivered meals, light houskeeping and shopping, guidance in filling out forms, guidance in obtaining health services and equipment, respite care for the caregiver, transportation services to chemotherapy, dialysis; doctors, emotional support services through counseling, volunteers to visit 'the patients if requested, Voice of Help, home library services, mini-respite. Phase II will'continue Phase I while implementing more direct services to the family. (Copy of the proposal is on file' in the Town Clerk's Office.) The tentative one year budget is $5,700.00, which the Board agreed to transfer into the Nutrition Program from the Contingent Accou~ Following the presentation Mrs. McKeighan spoke briefly to the Board about the pro~i ;~ss of'the V~ice of Help program. There had b~en a proposal to purchase three Voice ~_~ of Help units at a cost of $1,397. Mrs. McKeighan has learned that the cost of installation is S75.00, plus a $26.95 monthly service charge. She suggested, and the Board agreed, that anyone may obtain'a Voice of Help unit, and the $1,397 should be spent toward helping to defray the'cost for those who cannot afford the installation and perhaps contribute to three months service. 10:45 A.M. - John Berryman, Treasurer of the Greenport-Southold Chamber of Comme~ce made a presentation to the Town Board as a representative of the Board of Directors of the Chamber, with respect to the "Zoning Ordinance Amendments for Master Plan Update - presented to the Southold Town Board on December 17, 1985". (Mr. Berryman's prepared presentation is on file in the Town Clerk's office.) In his presentation Mr. Berryman stated that Chamber Directors "attended each of the so- called community input sessions." "..They were unhappy with the format of the meetings. They expected that the meetings would be in the form of a New England style 'Town Meeting', with give and take between local residents and their elected town officials." "..The meetings, whether by design or not, denigrated into allowing those most affected by the proposed legislation to make a statement. Valid questions were forbidden .... The concensus was that the meetings were a waste of time, attend- ance of 40 people at the earlier meetings would seem to buttress this impression." Mr. Berryman outlined concerns wich-should be considered, specifics of the proposed regulations and maps and recommendations of the Chamber Board of Directors, which recommendations are as follows: (1) Send the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendmer~-~ and proposed Zoning Maps back to the drawing board. (2) Open to the public the Board's discussion meetings at which they revise the current proposals (32 Recor¢. fot future inspection the votes of each Board member on each specific proposal. (4)'~ Place a legal in the local newspapers alerting affected property owners that they plan to change the use designation fo their property. (5) Make the changes known to the general public; (6) Conduct true town meetings before they conduct the mandatory public hearing. (7) After the changes are made, appoint an ombudsman to represent the "little guy", which person would monitor the activities of the regulatory boards and accept complaints from the "little guy". 11:05 A.M. - Robert Webb, Chairman of SEACOM, appeared before the Board to discuss a timetable for procedures leading to a proposition on the ballot at the November 1986 election relative to the proposed establishment of a municipal electric system in the Town of Southold. Town Attorney Tasker advised the Board that they should proceed immediately to obtain proposals for bond counsel services based upon the engineering studies by R. W. Beck and Associates, and the legal studies by Duncan, Weinberg & Miller. 11:15 A.M. - Councilman Stoutenburgh brought to the Board's attention the ongoing problem of the proposed dedication of the roads in Highland Estates at Cutchogue. The dedication papers are now in order, but as a ~esult of a recent inspection ordered by Superintendent of Highways Jacobs, there is still work to be done on the roads before he will recommend acceptance. The major problem is the need for another application of oil and chips on the first 1200 feet. This should be accomplished shortly and dedication can then be accepted.---Councilman Schondebare voiced his ~ objections to Supervisor Murphy's trip to California to attend a solid waste manage- ment conference. He stated that the Supervisor had advised him that such a trip would be unnecessary since the same conference would be held in Philadelphia in April. Councilman $chondebare said he would not approve the voucher for Supervisor Murphy's expenses. Supervisor Murphy stated that according to his recollection of the conversation, he felt that because of his expertise in the area of solid waste management he was the logical person to attend and was under the impression this' was agreeable to Councilman Schondebare and the other Board members.---Council- woman Cochran reported that the Housing Committee has met on two occasi~)ns with the Planning Board with respect to the affordable housing plan for the Town. They cannot come to a meeting of the minds and are referring both of their proposals to the Town Board for a decision. Councilwoman Cochran asked that this matter be scheduled for the March 25th work sos'sion for a full discussion by the Town Board. 11:50 A.M. - Jim Morqo, Assistant Deputy County Executive for Housinc~, and Joe Sanseverino, Suffolk County Community Development A~ency, appeared before the Board to bring to their attention the proposed Constitutional Amendment with respect to housing powers of certain municipali~i~es~ A fact,sheet on the proposed amendment was distributed to the Board and is on file in the Town Clerk's Office, along with the proposed 1985 legislation. EXECUTIVE SESSION 12:15 P.M. - The Board discussed settlement of the Ronald J. Diachun action against the Town presently pending in the Suffolk County Supreme Court.-- Justice Edwards discussed a personnel problem with respect to his part-time justice court clerk. 12:40 P.M. - Recess for lunch. 2:10 P,M. - Work Session reconvened.--Justice Edwards questioned Superv:.s0r Murphy with respect to the redecorating project taking place in his offices. The Supervisor stated that he brought this to the Board's attention at a work session in early February and they did not express an objection, Justice Edwards informed the Supervisor that he had not made it clear to the Board members .the scope of the job and the possibility that when it is completed the project should have been submitted for bids. Supervisor Murphy said bidding would not be necessary as the overall cost should not be over $5000.00. 2:20 P.M. - The Board reviewed Regular Meetinc~ resolutions, and established the following policy with respect to reappointments: "From this date forward when reappointments are considered for vacancies which occur on a board or committee of the Town, if the incumbent who is to be reappointed and the Town Board members all agree to the reappointment, then resumes shall not be sought. However, if 'any Town Board member expresses a concern with the re- appoinment of the individual, then resumes shall be sought." 2:40 P.M. - Fairweather-Brown, Architects and Designers, met with the Board to discuss their inspection report to determine the causes of water damaqe at the Southold Senior/Youth Center, Peconic. (This report is on file in the Town Clerk's Office.) The Board concluded that Fairweather-Brown should prepare a new proposal incorp- orating preparation of ceiling replacement specifi/:ations and plans for bidding, as well as inspections with respect to this work as it progresses. 3:10 P.M. - Southold Fire Department Chief Donald R. Sayre, Executive Administrator Lessard, and Building Inspector Horton met with the Board to discuss Chief Sayre's letter of February 24, 1986, a follow-up of his letter of July 8, 1985 which had not been responded to, with respect to the Building Department's fire inspections of twelve public buildings in the hamlet of Southold. Chief Sayre's concern is the need for these buildings to be inspected and a certificate of occupancy issued based upon these inspections. He stated that he is fully aware that the Building Department is under- staffed and the part-time Fire Inspector does not have the time to conduct these inspections throughout the Town, and he would like to see another inspector hired for this purpose. Building Inspector Horton stated most of the inspections listed in Chief Sayre's letter have been conducted and certificates of occupancy issued, but the inspections and paperwork as a result of them is long and involved, and the Building Department has been overworked and understaffed for a long time~. Executive Administrator Lessard agreed that his office would send a copy of the inspection reports to the town fire chiefs in the future. 3:35 P.M. - The Board resumed reviewing the agenda. 3:50 P.M. - Councilwoman Cochran asked Supervisor Murphy to explain his reason for using the 1985 campaign logo of the Democratic Independent party on the "Southold Challenge" letter, printed on the Supervisor's letterhead, which was inserted in the recent issue of The Suffolk Times. Supervisor Murphy stated that he was not aware the symbol was identical; the one used (a tree with clc~uds and water) just seemed appropriate for the community project to replace those trees destroyed by Hurricane Gloria. Councilwoman Cochran stated she did not object to this worthwhile project, just the use of the political logo. 4:00 P.M. - The Board audited outstanding vouchers, removing those for the Supervisor's trip to the solid waste conference in California, and the one submitted by Joseph Maganin for painting, varnishing, and applying wallpaper in the Super- visor's Offices. 4:15 P.M. - Work Session adjourned. 332 MAACH 11, 1986 REGULAR MEETING 7:30 P.M.

So we feel .that we have put in place port for equipment to many o]' our youth and l.reported at our last mee;dng, t~e Buildinc] wew and evaluate Town properties and pection of the Laurel Lake sit~, which downed trees on the property as a result erosion on the hill abutting the lake. The rush behind the backstop is overgrown. ~)ring up the site to a safe and usable are concerned the Highway Department has roblems also the Highway Department has been reseeded and the clearing of the underbrush ~, given to the Highway Department, of which ~commendations that will be presented to the ~ion problem, and it is very severe. It was ~ possibly be a project for a Boy or Girl' and the cost of materials is now being the site developed as a picnic area on the f strongly that there are many physical ovely picnic spot for all the residents in because of some of the physical things to incorporate into this particular piece of commending the development of a nature the use of this property by permit only. ! on the next Board work session for ations in relation to the site. It's been ~n. Paul? hank you, Frank. I had the pleasure of ~erce dinner on February 24th to hear our new member of our Water Advisory Committee, Bob Villa, speak. some idea of his concepts as a new mem like we have a very active and enthusia board. On the 26th of February I atte~ the people who are proposing a way of this is our composting concept in which a huge tumbler and it's about 100 feet I and comes out the other end as compost I wanted to get oer to this very important board and it looks Stic'person coming on our Water Advisory ~ded a meeting right here in Town Hall of taking care of the waste in our landfill, and all the material from the landfill is put into ong and this material' rotates very slowly material' which we can use on our farmlands and our roads and our--roadsides I should say--and on our landfill, and it might be one of the ways that we can eliminate the problem that's ahead of us. As you all know all landfills must be closed by 1990 and this is 'just one of the ways and we're exploring many others, but it 'was an iqteresting review again' of this important concept and we have--the Town Board I~as hired H2M, a engineering concern, to look into the various ways of handling ~his problem of our landfill and we'll have a and this has been scheduled as a discussion for our Work Session at our 25th meeting. SO hopefully the Town Board can arriv~ at some conclusions that will begin to help alleviate the affordable housing problemin'Southold. On Monday, March 3rd I had the pleasure of attending the opening o~ the Southold display at the Suffolk County Historical Society Museum in Riverhead, and I would encourage those of you when you are in Riverhead to stop in and see the display because it is certainly well done and representative of Southold Town. On March 4th a work meeting in' relation to the Chamber building being constructed in ~_aurel was held, and I am told that the foundation was put in place today, so itlooks like this 'building is 'finally on its way. On March 6th the Recreation Committee met to determine an affordable s~,stem for the 334 MARCH 11, 1986 report on that later. I also attended the Southold Town Preservation Committee meetin9 and I must say these people are enthusiastic about what they're doing. These are the people that are going around and checking old houses and documenting these old homes and getting quite a bit of fun doing it, I might say, and it's nice to see people getting involved. They also had a speaker there, a Mr. Langhart, who is the curator of Hallockville, who gave a very interesting talk on old buildings. February 28th I was here in' the Hall with some of the people and we were very proud to have the first donor of farmland, John Tuthill here, to receive his check for the rights--the development rights of his farm, and this is just one of in many that are being down in $outhold Town. You people have put up the mone.y for it through a bond. You voted for it,' and it's on the way. John Tuthill and John Nierodzik and I think we have one more, don't we Frank? Didn't we have one more? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Albert Krupski. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Albert Krupski? Okay. March 8th I was in the Recreation Committee, as Jean has already spoken about and i do think we have a very good person running our' Recreation Department. I was also in Riverhead at the Historical Society exhibit, and not only go to that wonderful museum to see our Southold exhibit, I~ut they have a beautifUl exhibit 'throughout the whole build- ing. It is really magnificent. I've been there before, but it's good to be reassured that that is really a wonderful, wonderful historic'building and also a very nice museum too. That's about it,' Frank, SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you,' Paul. George? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Okay, on February 26th the Do9 Pound Committee met. We met with Gary Strang and it was a preliminary meeting. Present was the members of the Animal Welfare League and Bill Zitek, and it 'was stricily to get input to give Gary some direction. On Wednesday, March 19th Gary will'come up with some preliminary floor plans for us to get' us started. On the 26th also I met with the Commerce and Industry Committee, which has been reported. On the 27th the Housin9 Advisory Committee, which has also been reported. On the 28th the CSEA held another meeting. On one I don't have the date on I met with Jean Cochran, and just if anybody thinks the Laurel Lake is a picnic in the wintertime, it was about 15 degrees out there and she gave a very enthusiastic report considering the factors. That's all. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jay? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Thank you, Frank. Likewise I attended the Recreation Committee meeting, and I attended the two Housin9 Committee meetings. They were somewhat disappointing. I was really hoping that the Planning Board, who has their 'own concepts of affordable housing,and the Housing Advisory Committee, who has their own ideas, could sit down together and work out their problems, but they are so far apart that it 'became useless and I don't think they'll be doing that anymore. They won't be meeting. So evidentially they're going to drop both the proposals into the lap of the Town Board and we're going to have to try to come up with some sort of solution, because they cannot agree. We had a Code Committee meetin9. The wineries are a big issue now. We knew that it was going to happen sooner or later. Some would like to serve £oods, others are expanding. There was some talk of a zone change for some of wineries. It's a big concept. You're talking perhaps like the Napa Valley that we've heard so much about. They're ready to move and it's something that the Town Board has to take into consideration and how we want the Town of Southold to look like in the future. It's a difficult concept and we're going to have to wrestle with it. We had a Commerce and lndustr¥ Committee meetinq and basically we got tied up into the leases concerning the Greenport Tourist Information Booth, as well as the Laurel Lake Information Booth, and we hope to have that straightened out and I'll have to speak to the Town Attorney and see if we can get the nuts and bolts done. That's it. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. II. PUBLIC NOTICES. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, moving on to the second item on the agenda, Public Notices. There's two of them. 1. Corps of Engineers, application by Village Marine to bulkhead and backfill at James Creek in Mattituck. Written comments by April 2nd. 2. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, application by .S. Heaqan Bayles to rip-rap along existing timber bulkhead at Smith Road, Cutchogue. '~ritten comments by March 28th. III. COMMUNICATIONS. - None. IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS. - 8:00 P.M., Meadow Farms Associates, DEIS. MARCH 11, 1986 V. RESOLUTIONS. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: going to hold. TOWN CLERK TERRY: We'll move on to our Resolutions. The first one we're Weren't you going to reject? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, we agreed to reject. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You want to reiect? Okay. Number 1 is to reject a bid for the Senior/Youth Center. Moved by Councilman Penny, seconded by Councilman Schondebare, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby rejects all bids for the ceilin9 replacement at the Senior/Youth Center building located on the east side of Peconic Lane, Peconic, New York. 335 SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any queStions or comments? COUNCILMAN PENNY: i'd like to make a comment. I'd just like to assure the people that there is:-the reason that we're doing this: and that is we're going to do some more research on the building and that if 'we go ahead and authorize the ceiling bid we have a certain number of days to proceed with it and rather than go ahead at this time until we hav, e all the factors in front of us. We haY, reports from another architect and we're eventually going to go back to this bid, but it's going to be handled by an architect also. So it's unfortunate. It's just a temporary delay. 1.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Council- man Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 2 is to authorize me to sign an agreement. 2. Moved by Councilman Schondebare, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby authorizes and directs Supervisor Francis J. Murphy to execute an agreement between the Town and Diane M. Schultze to provide secretarial services for the Southold Town Farm- land Preservation Committee, effective January 1, 1986 through December 31, 1986, at a total fee not to exceed $3,500.00 for the term of this agreement. 2.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Council- man Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 3 is on our Airport Site Selection/Master Plan. Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Schondebare, WHEREAS, the Consolidated Report, Phases I and II, Airport Site Selection/Master Plan Study has been completed, reviewed by the Federal Aviation Administration, New York State Department of Transportation, Southold Town's Technical Advisory Committee, the Southold Town Board, and the general public since June 1985, and WHEREAS, on February 25, 1986, at 7:30 P.M. a public informational meeting was held at the Southold Town Hall. with respect to the Consolidated Report, at which time all persons were given an opportunity to be heard, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby declares an end to the Airport Site Selection/Master Plan Study effective as of this date, March 11, 1986. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions? COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I would like to make comment. Part of government's role is to assess the needs of the people. During the past several months it has become crystal clear an airport is not the number one priority of the maiority of Southold residents. My constituents have expressed, at a ratio of fifteen to one, through letters, phone calls, verbal discussion in the post office, in the grocery stores and on the street, they do not feel there is a need for a publicly owned airport. And may I add this expression of objection is not the !'in my backyard syndrome". It covers from Orient to Laurel. If the study were to be continued the next step is site selection, which calls for a minimum of 100 acres. Southold Town is a limited land mass area. Is an airport the best use for 100 acres of limited available land? Were the study completed there is no guarantee funds would be available to do the project. This is another whole application process. We have a small privately owned airport in Mattituck and a larger County-owned airport one half hour drivin.q time in Westhampton. The majority of residents expressing them- selves feel these arguments are valid and a need does not exist. I believe the community sees their priority needs as health care services, affordable housing, comprehensive planning for growth and development, and job development compatable to the area. I have not made my decision lightly. I am a people person, and this may sound corny to some of you, but I am a people person at heart and I believe 336 MARCH 11~ 1986 a community belongs to the people that reside in it.' A majority of those heard from have requested the study to be halted. MY decision is governed by the priority needs as members of the community has expressed them. I make a statement during my campaign to the effect the airport study should continue to its conclusion. I have not forgotten that statement. However, since that time a vast majority have clearly expressed their desire for termination of the study because it 'is not a desired need of the people of Southold. On this issue I will abide by their wishes and not on my personal feeling. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else have any comments or things to say? George? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, I just want to say that I respect Jean's decision, and although we both said at the same time that we campaigned that we were going to wait for the completion of the study, ! will stick by my decision as of that time, although I appear to be in the minority tonight, but I have no qualms with that. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else? JUSTICE EDWARDS: I will stand behind George. I feel as though it is nos right to not complete the study. I think we should go along. We're sitting here with another study, the master plan; and if we let the public decide on the master plan we'd throw that out the window today, because we probably have had 75 people with something wrong with the way the plan was presented, and as I said today at the meeting, we have not received one letter from people who are for the master plan. Not one. So I think if we throw the airport out the window, we throw the master plan out the window too. Thank you, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. Anyone else?

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, we still have one more resolution that might be offered, so I would like to ask-at this time if any of the Town Board members have anything further to say. George? (Not at this time. Thank you.) Paul? (Nothing. Thank you.) Jean? (Thank you, no.) Ray? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes. At the airport hearing--a little dissertation here. There was a Mr. Carlson out in the back there that poked his finger at me and said, well, why don't we scrap the airport and the Judge from the Island can go back and forth like his predecesors did, and I didn't get a chance to get back to Mr. Carlson because he turned on his heels. But I imagine he's probably a farmer and what my reply was going to be to him is, I wonder if he's still using a horse to plow the ground like his grandfather did? The airport study--this present one is down the drain as you all know, and the red ribbons are happy. I say it's progress down the drain also. Jobs and economy we've lost. There would have been some jobs from there, and only the future is going to be the judge on this. We spent over $100,000 on a new master plan. I think we should put this in "a disaster plan", and in a way I'm looking at it now with all the reports we're getting, it's a waste of time and money, but now the Town wants to continue with it, but they want to drop a program here that wouldn't cost us that much. And one other thing: it's quite upsetting to some of the members of the Town Board--getting off the airport, I'm all finished with that-- not really, but finished with it--that the Supervisor is spending, without Town Board approval, over $5,000 out of the Building fund to refurbish his office, which I didn't think was really that bad, while the Town itself is going to have to go to bond for probably over $20,000 to repair the Senior Citizen Center and there's quite a few of the Councilpeople were quite upset about this. And he did this without Town Board approval. So, other than that, I guess that's it, Frank. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, is there anyone else in the audience would like to address the Town Board? RUTH OLIVA: Not the Town Board, just the people, just to remind them that on NOVA tonight on Channel 13 at five minutes after ten there's a film called the "Return of the Osprey" that was shot here at Mashammock, and anybody that goes home I suggest that they watch it. It's supposed to be very good. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Wasn't it on already once? Someone told me it was. RUTH OLIVA: It was just at Poquatuck Hall that it showed it, but it's tonight at 10:05 for about an hour. It's supposed to be excellent. Glad we're getting done early. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, anyone else? Over here. John? JOHN SKABRY: Well, this is a goodbye. Maybe I'll start on housincj next. But anyway I'd like to address the Board on some of the comments that t~e Councilman said. I'm sorry, the Town Justice from Fishers Island. Mr. Carlson is not here to defend himself and I'm not defending him, but I will say that the County of Suffolk, of which Fishers Island is a part of, has afforded the residents of Fishers Island a four or three runway airport in Westhampton, and it's only 19 miles from the heart of Southold. 342, MARCH 11, 1986 DIANE BERGMANN: It's been a long time, but thank you Supervisor Murphy, Mr. Schondebare, Mr. Stoutenburgh, and Mrs. Cochran for listening to the people. I'm sorry Mr. Penny and Justice Edwards are not listening to the majority of the people that elected them. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? Dave? DAVID SPOHN: Good evening. My name is David Spohn. I represent the aviation community, myself and the North Fork Aviation Association, and I just wish to say I'm disappointed by the vote to end the ~kirport Site Selection Study. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Councilman George Penny and Judge Ray Edwards for their vote to complete the study as originally programmed, and expecially for Judge Ray Edwards' comments. Thank you. It has not been an easy task, but I felt it's been well worthwhile. Thank you ....... SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else like to address the Town Board? MARGARGET SKABRY, Henry's Lane, Peconic: I too want to wish the members of the Town Board who did finally listen to the people, the same people who were never asked if they wanted to get into an airport study. It was a long time coming to have you listen and to realize that we weren't just one or two people. We were the maiority of the people of this Town. Mr. Edwards seems to think this was a very worthwhile stUdy and for those people who may have had some trouble reading the letter that I wrote to you--to each individual member of the Town Board--I took the time to read the study again, in it:s entirety, not just contracts that certain people have put in front of my face, but I read the entire study again, as I had the original one that came out that had to be revised because there were so many questions in it that hadn't been answered and addressed correctly. I sent this letter to each one of the Town Board members. Hopefully that had something to do with you realizing that when you've read the study you realized that the airport that was being proposed was only the beginning of the airport. It did not have the coverage required. It was not to be contained within the acreage allowed. The acreage that our Town Board was looking to purchase, but was not willing to condemn land on either side. Unfortunately I guess Mr. Edwards, he didn't vote not to condemn land and he doesn't really give a damn if he condemns the land around here. He has Mattituck Airport to use. I don't know who pays for his flights back, or if they're volunteered by Mr. Spohn or members of the North Fork Aviation Association--- JUSTICE EDWARDS: The Town pays for them. MRS. SKABRY: Do they really? Well how nice. JUSTICE EDWARDS: It's a Town law. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All right, Ray, somebody's making comments. MRS. SKABRY: All right. The point is you went into this study, you got half way through it-~almost half way and you realized this study proved that building the airport was unfeasible. To build a safe airport, to settle the problems of wing coverage and be enclosed during times Of inclement weather, you had enough sense you realize you couldn't do it and that you have an airport available and if the owner is treated as a human being should be treated it can be continued to be used. And we don't have to bully the citizenry of this Town around and close our ears and just hold on to political stands and owing a few people some favors and continue to just represent them instead of representing the whole Town, and I'm really sorry there are two members that couldn't read this, because I had the page numbers from the study that you wanted to continue to pay for, Mr. Penny, that was so inaccurate, where it eliminates itself. It's going to be very interesting to see if 'in' the future the Board is going to be able to work together to continue to represent the people. What you did tonight is super. A few people have some really hurt feelings out there, but I think they had a real nerve pushing for this so hard over the will of the majority of the people. Thank you for finally standing up for us. Thank you. ~ SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else in the audience would like to address the Town Board? Sir. LYLE MURRAY, Cutchogue: I could hardly believe my ears toniqht. To hear people turn down a proposal which might involve five to ten million dollars which would save open space and a nice green airport which was an improvement to the whole Town, and is progress. I don't look that old, but I actually remember in the community when I was small people arguing against paved roads for automobiles, and we're ric3ht b~ck to that point. Now, we would have spent maybe a hundred thousand dollars ~over 20 years of which part of that mi~Lht have been covered, and yet we will turn around and spend ninety tho-usand dollars ~c~r the preservation of about 22 acres of farm- land. I'm all in favor of saving farmland, but this acreage preservation--what are we talking about? Seven hundred acres? We need to talk about preserving 2,000 and 3,000, and 4,000 acres, but not at taxpayers expense. I can't believe my ears. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, ma'am. ANNA MAE RAINIS: Good evening. My name is Anna Mae Rainis and I'm from Peconic. I'm very happy that the airport issue now has been tabled, but I really would like to ask the Town Board, please, let's roll up our sleeves, do something for the young people in this community. Do something for the economic base. I'm not sure that this affordable housing off the Main Road is the way to go. I see people come into my office every day, my heart is broken. These people need jobs. I ask what families are going to go into a one bedroom apartment, or a one bedroom home? It's certainly not going to be a family with any amount of children. Let's roll up our sleeves, let's get the iob done. Let's stop wasting money on airport studies and let's get this Town moving forward. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? Jay, did you want to do resolution No. 26? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEI3ARE: I want to hold. I spoke to Bob Tasker. We can still pass this two weeks from today. I spoke to Chief Winters. He's upset and would like to have a Police Committee meeting. In the meantime, talk to him and then we can still act on it. We don't have a time constraint on this. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Let me just say also--I didn't have my closing remarks. I want to thank Mr. Spohn for the manner in which he presented his case before the Town Board over these past months., I was very impressed. Professionalism was very good, and I do want to thank you. I voted against you, but you did a very nice job and you're a credit to the Association that you represented. I was very impressed. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I'd like to echo those remarks also. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Me too, David. JUSTICE EDWARDS: It was a very quite campaign, Dave. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, any other comments by the Town Board? (No response.)
