Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran, Councilman George L. Penny IV, Town Clerk

9:00 A.M. - J,a¥ Tanski, Sea Grant, met with the Board to review his outline of
potential erosion control options for Kenneys Beach which deals with the benefits
and disadvantages of relocation of affected structures landward, beach renourish-
ment , shoreline hardening structures and process altering structures. Mr. Tanski
suggests that additional information is needed through the services of a qualified
engineer regarding beach profiles, wate climate, sediment transport, and specifications
for a structure, all of which are extremely costly. Copy of this outline is on file
int he Town Clerk's Office.
9:45 A.M. - Police Chief H. Daniel Winters met with the Board to discuss hiring
of a school crossing guard for the Greenport School crossing, and his wish to
hire two new police officers in anticipation of expected retirements in 1987.
10:00 A.M. - Resolution No. 21 proposed for the regular meeting agenda, with
respect to rescinding the Board's policy requiring new community water systems
be dedicated to the Suffolk County Water Authority, was discussed. The resolution,
proposed by Supervisor Murphy, states that the Board failed to comply with SEQR.
Town Planner David Emilita had advised the Supervisor that there is litigation in
the Town of East Hampton with the Water Authority concerning the SEQR require-
ments. Councilman Penny stated he had spoken to Mr. Emilita who advised him
that he was under the impression the Town was giving the Water Authority a
franchise, wl~i~:h they are not. They already have a francise from the State of
New 'York. This matter will be I~urther discussed with Mr. Emilita at the after-
noon work session.
10:05 A.M. - Superintendent of Highways Raymond /. Jacobs discussed the Kenneys
erosion problem with the Board. He stated that the wind and wa~es' du~ing the~pa~t
couple of days has exposed rods and concrete used to stabilize the beach. He said
it will cost the Town about $900 to rent a machine to push the cement back toward
the parking lot. Don Stanton, a resident of the Kenneys Beach area, urged the
Board to push back the cement so the beach will remain open. Councilwoman Cochran
urged the Board to close the beach for the remaining six days of the season, but
Councilmen Stoutenburgh and. Penny requested the cement be pushed back. Super-
isor Murphy advised Mr. Jacobs that the concensus of the Board would be to get
the machine and move the cement back.
10:10 A.M. - A Public Informational Meeting with the Suffolk County Water Author-
ity was discussed. Councilwoman Cochran suggested an educational-type meeting
with the Water Authority present, as well as the County Health Department and Dr.
Koppelman of the County Planning Department, to Which Councilman Penny and
Supervisor Murphy agreed. Councilman Stoutenburgh stated the residents of the
Town have the right to hear from Riverhead Town and how ~hey are handling their
water district, as well as representatives from other water districts throughout the
County. Councilwoman Cochran suggested a second meeting after the meeting with
the Water Authority if the people have further concerns. Supervisor Murphy agreed
that to have numerous representatives from other districts would be to much at one
time, stating that a second meeting would be reasonable if necessary. The Board
will discuss a possible date for this meeting when Councilman Schondebare and
Justice Edwards are present.--Stanley Sledjeski, Nick Cyprus and Don Witscheben,
residents with the Captain Kidd Water System, spoke about their prior request to
ask the Suffolk County Water Authority to take over their system. Mr. Witscheben
took exception to the Chairman of the Town Water Advisory Committee going before
the Greenport Village Trustees to pursuade them to take over the Captain Kidd
system after the Town Board had agreed to support their request for 'the Suffolk
County Water Authority.

AUGUST 26, 1986
lu:~u A.M. - Lorl ~almon, a res.aent ot Horton Lane, 5outholc~, appeared betore
the Board to protest the lack of action with respect to a building on the Millman
property on Horton Lane. Mrs. Salmon described the buildin9 as an eyesore, and
dangerous, as it appeares to be sitting only on cement blocks. -Other residents
of the area have registered their protests over the past year with respect to this
building. She produced a chronological list~ dating back to October or early November
1984 with 'respect to the status of the building and her attempts to have t~he situation
corrected. Executive Administrator Lessard came before the Board and assured them
that the matter is in the hands of Special' Attorney Lark for the declaration of an .
unsafe building and he will meet with Mr.~ Lark the first of next week to move it
forward.
10:45 A.M. - Discussion relative to Coastal. Erosion_ Hazard. Areas, as designated
by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, will I~e discussl 1
during the afternoon work session when Planner David Emilita is in attendance.
Mr. Don Stanton, resident of the Kenneys Beach area, urged the Town Board to
respond to this matter in a timely manner.
11:10 A.M. - Abigail Wickham, Attorney, met with the Board to obtain their
permission to amend the Farmland option of Simmons and Nicholas to reduce the
right-of-way along~the westerly property line from 50 ft. to 25 ft. A letter from
the Farmland Committee indicates their full agreement to this amendment. The
Town Board agreed and Town Attorney Tasker and Ms. Wickham will work out
the amended option agreement.
11:15 A.M. - Ruth Oliva spoke to the Board to urge their endorsement of the
establishment of a Bay Management Task Force to save the Peconic Bay Estuary
from further deterioration. The Board agreed to this endorsement- see resolution
No. 23.
11:20 A.M. - Garrett ,,Stran9. Architect, met with the Board to-discuss the bids
received on August 21, 1986 for the construction of a new Dog Pound building.
The bids received were incomplete, lacking plumbin9 and heatin9, air ~conditioning
and ventilating bids. The three general construction.bids ranged ~t~rom $167,393.00
to $223,929.00, and two electrical bids of $16,300.00 and $19,771.O0. It .would appear
that had al! phases of construction be bid, the cost would have been twice the amount
estimated of $110,000. Mr.-Stran9 suggested rejecting the bids and rebidding thr
different ways: (1) general construction, (2) the adminisiration building only, an
(3) the kernel section only. The Board agreed - see resolutions no. 24 and 25.
11:30 A.M. - For Discussion Items: (1) Consider the purchase of twelve more

2:10 P.M. - Work Session reconvened and the Board met with Diane Carroll,
Donald Bracken and their architect Charles Egosi who presented to the Board
their proposal for development of the Costello property, Route 48 and Moores
Lane, Greenport~ presently zoned "M" Light Multiple Residence District.. The
proposal calls for 84 semi-attached units, on the easterly side of the property
abutting Fl eet fi eld , to be sold as moderately priced housing in the mid to upper
$70,000 range. There are to be 96 clustered townhouse units on the westerly
portion of the property, and an open space area separating the two concepts.
If they secure approYal from the Planning Board within the next few months
the project should be underway by spring. Mr. Bracken state~l they would
like to restrict the sale of the units to Southold Town residents for the first
six months. They are presently in negotiations with the Village of Greenport
for water and sewer hook-ups; the Village being interested in utilizing a well
site on the property. The Board members' all agreed the proposal looks good
and the Iow-cost housing is badly needed in the Town. The developers will
now begin tl~e approval process before the Planning Board.
2:45 P.M. - Town Planner David Emilita met with the Board to (1) discuss
"Critical Environmental Areas" with respect to prope~ties,,around Hallocks Bay,
Orient. Councilman Stoutenburgh plans a meeting with the land owners of that
area, as well as the Trustees, Conservation Advisory Council, Town Board, Orient
Association and representatives of the D.E.C. The meeting way set for 7:30 P.M.,
September 2nd at the Town Hall. (2) Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas. Regulations
have been been adopted by the D.E.C., but are in' the process of being amended.
Preliminary maps are available and within'six months of the filing of the final maps
all municipalities shall submit the commissioner an erosion hazard area ordinance or
local law. Residents of the West Mattituck Beach Association and Kenneys Beach
Association are protesting the hazard area lines established by the D.E.C. as
being arbitrary and the program has been poorly publicized; they want the Town
Board to review the map and make recommendations to the D.E.C. to revise the
lines. Mr. Emilita submitted an outl~ine of a Southampton Town "Community
Consultation" meeting. Mr. Don Stanton, Kenneys Beach, and Mr. Don Witscheben,
West Mattituck Beach, urged the Board to meet with the D.E.C. and the residents
of the areas in contest to resolve the setback lines. (3) Master Plan Update.
The Board agreed that they are satisfied with the proposed Zoning Code, however
there are several changes that must be made on the proposed map. The Board
specified the changes to Mr. Emilita who will see that the map is corrected and
it is anticipated everything will be in place for the Board to move forward with
the SEQR process, with respect to the updated Master Plan, at their September
9th meeting.
4:30 P.M. - The Board reviewed proposed resolutions for the Regular Meeting,
and again discussed the propos .e~l public informational meeting with the Suffolk

problem at Kenneys Beach.

I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, moving on to the first item on the agenda is R~ports.
These reports are on file with the Town Clerk for anyone who wa--nts to read them.
1986.1. Recreation Department, Director Susan Fossett, monthly report for July
2. Justice Frederick Tedeschi, monthly report for July 1986.
3. Southold Town Dog Shelter, monthly report for July 1986.
4. At this time I'd like the Councilmen to give any special reports that they
have, starting on my left with Councilwoman Cochran.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN On August 20th I attended the Highway Committee
meeting, where we are working---if you had started on the other end, Frank---
[ ~-0-n-~want to take---George, will you be reporting on Highway?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Y~es, I was, Jean. -
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Jay, will'you be reporting on Chamber of Commerce?
COUNCILMAN--$CHONDEBARE: Jean, you can take care of that. Go ahead. Other-
wise you don't have anything to report on.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: And Paul's going to report on Beaches.
COUNCILMAN .S~HONDEBARE: Does that leave you with anything, Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: No, they're all meetings I attended, but it doesn't
leave me with reporting on them.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Do Commerce and Industry.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: You can do Highway if you want to, Jean.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: The Chamber did report to us. We met with them on
August 20th, and they did report to us that from June 16th in the Mattituck booth--
from June 16th to August 19th, which was about nine weeks time, they had 2,800
visitors to the booth, with a total of 5,125 cars. The Greenport Chamber--Southold-
Greenport Chamber also reported that they kept track of their visitors, but they
did not register cars, and they've had 3, 950 visitors. So we've gone well over
6,000 visitors that have stopped to our two Chamber of Commerce booths this season.
Also, Frank---and we didn't get into this today, and I don't think it really has to
be an item for discussion at a Town Board meeting---th, ey wanted permission to place
a rock down on the Greenport property in memorial to two of their past members.
Would the Board have any problem with that?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I don't see any.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: The other thing that they requested of us is that
they'd like to have the water tested in Mattituck because it seems to have an odor
and a distinct unpleasant taste, and where we do post at our Town Beaches to
please do not drink the water, we may have to test up there to see if it's drinkable.
134
AUGUST 26, 1986
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'm sure there is a test made already on it in the new well.
We'll check it and see why. It could be just a new system. That should be some
of the best water in the Town.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: That's supposed to be, yes. Supposed to be.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You never know.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: So they can go ahead with their memorial rock? (The
Board agreed.) Okay. Also they feel that gutters have to be put on the front of
the building. Greenport also reported that they did put a new roof on their building
and they tore out their old shrubbery and they have added new lighting on the sid~i
Okay, the rest of the meetings I attended was the Highway, Which George will be I:!:i~i~I
reporting on. Parks and Beaches - we did a tour of our beaches, whict~ Paul will 'Ii!,i?li!~it
reporting on. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: All right, i will report on that Parks and Beaches
m. eetin9. We've had some problems with the Health Department. As you know,
regulations become more and more difficult for any place where there's a public
gathering, and on beaches with bathrooms and showers and what have you, and so
to clear up the problem we asked one of the Health Department people to come travel
with us, and we traveled to every one of our beaches, had a check list and checked
off some of the items that they had said we were in violation, and said w~ll, really,
when it comes right down to it you don't have to do this. So there are ~o or three
little items in each area that will be cleared up for next year, and to make sure we
start off with a clean slate next year, we're going to start with an inspection of the
beaches with one of their people. So we'll start off with a clean slate. I think we've
got a good handle on it and it was really a productive meeting I think. ! also want
to report again on our STOP Program, and Ruth, would you just pass out one of those
flyers just to make sure e~erybody 9ets one? We have a good volunteer group, of
which Jean is one of them, and each person right from Orient to Mattituck, right to
Laurel school will be covered. We are planning on next Thursday to get together
with packets of material to give to every school child. Hopefully that the material
will get home to--get back to every home. The idea being we want to make sure
people understand the 6th of September is the day when household pollutants,
pesticides, whatever you have in your garage, will be accepted at the Town Land.fi~
at the cost of this Town of approximately between $7,000 and $10,000 for haulers,
and I hope you'll .all take advantage of it. If wherever you see this ~Jgn (poste¥~
as a reminder, and you'll see them up throughout your Town. They're going to I~e
posted and you'll have about 50 of them throughout your Town. So do cooperate
and pass the word if you would. I also attended meetings.of the Farmland Preserva-
tion Committee in which we are hopefully getting three new farms. We had one farmer
who backed out, and we interviewed them. They all look good and hopefully they'll
all come in. And i also attended the Highway meeting, and the only thing I'd like to
add is that I asked that we would go ahead and make a recommendation to the Building
Department, or the Planning Department, rather, that when underground lines are
put in--and this is for electrical--that they put in Cablevision. ! know of one
particular one in Cutchogue with a mile long run, with houses on both sides--there
must be probably 40 houses in there--that have to put antennas on their roofs, and
you know the reception and the problems of it because they didn't put in a cable.
And hopefully this recommendation will be put in and people will be assured of
television. Okay.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: No, Jean took them all.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You were left in good hands.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: She did'a nice job.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY; Yes, on 8/13 I attended a Parks and Beaches meetinq, whidh
Paul has already reported on. On the 19th Jean and ! and Frank stopped in. We
had a discussion with the Payroll Department. They're working out some problems
with the new payroll system which we've taken on. We're using North Fork Bank
rather than ADP, and we were down here for about an hour and were reassured
that our exasperations were going to be corrected. It's just a matter of getting
together and working out a new system. On the 20th Paul partially reported about
the High.w. ay Committee. We recommended approval of Uhl Lane at Orient-By-The-Sea
for take over by the Town. We reviewed the specifications for roads for minor sub-
divisions and again, as Paul reported, recommend the Planning Board to require
developers of a major subdivision and some minors to include Cablevision in under-
ground services. On the 22nd the Highway COmmittee met again and we interviewed
three applicants for the job of Town Road inspector, and we have our recommendation
has been--i don't like to pre-empt the resolution, but we have an excellent recommenda
tion coming. He's a retired DOT employee that has done exactly this: for the Depart-
ment of Transportation. On the 23rd I met with the Kenneys Beach Association.
They're greatly concerned about some things going on in this Town. Number one,
the road runoff which seems to be being diverted into Great Pond, and the way
that the Town is handling that. There will be more follow-up communications from
them on that. They're very concerned about the Town Beach deterioration and as
a result of some discussions today I believe we're going to set up a committee to
look into this. Their last, and probably their far greatest concern, is the effects
of the Coastal Erosion Management Program on communities and property owners like
themselves that have shorefront property. We're going to get into further discussion
on that and bring some of the-members of the D.E.C. down here hopefully around
the 15th of the month and actually have some on-site discussions with them and then
follow it up so we both have a better understanding of what we're dealing with. The
Peconic Center is under way. I've had several meetings with the architect and with
the super, on the job ironing out some of the small kinks in it', but there is a man
on the job. Hopefully they'll be more men shortly. The materials are pretty much
there and progress should proceed. So we're maybe a little behind schedule, but
it's going along. The Dog Pound we had a bit of a problem with our initial bids, "
but we're going to go out and rebid it and make a possible revision to the specifica:
tions so that the least we can do is accommodate for the emergency--to preclude an
emergency situation this winter and we'll just--if we can't do the whole thing, we'll
just do a part of it.- One further thing is is the Town Board did discuss today,
though informally, a public informational meeting with the Suffolk County Water
Authority, the Suffolk County Department of Planning, and: the Suffolk County
Department of Health Services being available here at the Town Hall at some time
in the future so that people that do have any questions regarding the policy that
the Town Board has in place, that hopefully all of their concerns will be alleviated
by a discussion directly with these people. That will be at some-time in the very
near future and the date should be announced at our next Town Board meeting.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. i'd just like to add a couple more.
The methane survey for the Landfill and the piping diagrams and all, are being
sent down, supposedly, from the consultant out here so that we co~ld hopefully get
this system in place. I also met with the Director of Catholic Charities for out here.
He wanted to meet with the Supervisor to tell us that even though they were moving
from Laurel down into Riverhead--the Laurel property was sold--that we will have the
same services available to the peOple. They do an awful lot in many fields. Also I
met the same day with Dr. Harris of the Health Department, Helen Proud, the Health
Department representative, Judy Hope, Tony Bullock, myself, and Greg Blass, on a
proposal--very important proposal--a grant that's being presented to the State. Hope-
fully we'll get funded. There is a resolution of support on here and ! think Helen
will say something further. But it's one that's very important on the East End here
where we are getting a much older population. Each year our percentage keeps going
up, and it's something I think we've been doing very well with. I'm very proud of
our Nutrition Program, the whole program that we have down there, and this is just
another step to improve it and hopefully this grant will come, and to cover our bases
both Judy Hope and myself requested of the County Executive to include the money
in his budget in case the grant was not approved, so that we would be able to get
started in this next fiscal year on this program. It's going to be down in Greenport
Hospital and over in Southampton Hospital. It's an extension of the clinic from
Riverhead. Make it much easier for residents on the East End to avail themselves
of these services. Also I was able to make it up to Albany, on Monday in spite of
the hurricane. We got the plan that was going to fly some of the people up--some
of the Town Board members up and Harold Berger, had to cancel unfortunately, but
we had a very productive and a very good meeting up there. And that's about all
I have to report, except it's certainly very good to see our Ex-Supervisor, who's
finally come around here. I thought he moved away on us. Bill Pell to come and
grace us with his presence. Thank you, William. Any comments?
WILLIAM R. PELL, Ill: Not at all.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
WILLIAM R. PELL, I11:
II. PUBLIC NOTICES.
Okay. Dlo you sleep well at night?
Soundly.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, moving on to the second item on the agenda, Public
Notices. There is only one and it's concerning the New York State Department of
Transportation who is going to have a plan set out at our Tourist Information
building in Laurel on September 10th from 1:00 to 8:00 P.M., for any residents
around, to see the plans of exactly the type of construction that's going on. They
are going to, hopefully, by the end of the year the contract will be let for the
136
AUGUST 26, 1986
straightening of that road. We've had many, many serious accidents there and
this will be another step in making the roads a lot safer in Southold Town. Anyone
who's interested in the plan you~could stop down and see them on that day and
they'll explain what's going on. (Improvement of Route 25 from Aldrich l~ne to
the Long Island .Rail Road bridge in Laurel.) Just to give you an idea, the road
is going to be brought a little closer to the booth, not by much, but the~¥ation
on the edge of the road in front of the booth is going to be raised 18 inches, and
so it's quite an involved iob and a lot of clearing further to the west, so if you're
interested, stop in and take a look.
III. COMMUNICATIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We have three or four communications.
1. From Mrs. Frances Glander who is thanking the Town and the Nutrition
Program, Senior Day Care Center in particular, for the excellent iob they're doing.
I can't say enough about the program. It really is fantastic, and it's always good
to hear good comments. Most of the time you hear the negative comments and it's
nice when you know a program is really reaching somebody and doing some good.
2. From the North Fork Peace Group thanking us for our cooperation in behalf
of their efforts (silent vigil againSt nuclear weapons on August 6).
3. From the Assistant Director of the Leukemia Society giving us a report and
sending a picture down of a fundraiser that some of us participated in. if you could
believe a Town Board member actually paid $20.00 to put a cream pie in my face. We
had a very good time.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: It was all done in good fun and good spirit, and it~ was
for a worthy cause, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And almost $5,000 was raised for the Leukemia Society, and
it was a great afternoon and I thank everybody who participated and ,a little campaign
literature the next time Jean runs, we're saving these pictures of her in her costume.
Anyone who would like to see them come up after.
COUNCP~VIAN PENNY: I think you ought to hang them on the bulletin board. The
public's interest_e_d in that, Frank.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: It was a nice break from all the seriousness we have.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Letter Number 4. is from Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Kudlinski
on Champlin Place in Greenport thanking the Town Board.for installing the four-way
stop signs and finally gave the residents down there a nice of peace is what they
said. Correspondence was good this week. It was mostly positive and it's always
ni ce.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: 'There is a public hearing scheduled at 8:00 P.M.
V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll start on resolutions. I would like to just state the
policy of the Town Board concerning resolutions. We do allow anyone in the audience
to address the Town Board before resolutions are voted upon, and to address only
concerning a proposed resolution if you want to make a statement on it. After the
regular Town Board meeting, after the resolutions and all, we will have a period of
time where anyone in the audience could say whatever they want to address the
Town Board. So I would ask at this time is there anyone here who would like to
comment on one of the resolutions? Yes, Helen.
HELEN PROUD: ! think mine is the easy one. It's Resolution 16 and it's in support
of our request grant application for satellite services. We have applied to the New
York State Department of Health for practically $300,000, and with this money we
will hire a physician, a couple of public health nurses, clerical people, a social
worker, and a neighborhood aide and then begin to provide medical and adult and
pediatric services in the two forks for about two and a half days each. One in
the red building in Greenport, and the other two and a half days in the Shake
building in Southampton, and as Frank said, we've gotten a lot of support for it
so far, and with County approval when the grant application finally goes in, it
would be very beneficial to us to have a Town resolution of support along with
that.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Helen. We do appreciate your department's
efforts, really. Okay, anyone else like to address the Board? Bill.
BILL BEHR: Thank you very much. I would like to address resolution No. 1.
I would like to address it as a member of the Economic Advisory Committee for the
Town of Southold, also as a member of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce. This partic~ilat' reSol~ii~j~¥i~ i§"tUr'i~ing the' World backwards. Let me tell
you very simply that we really need affordable housing in the Town of Southold.
I can say that as an individual, as a member 'of all these organizations, I can
particularly tell you as far as the Economic Advisory Committee is concerned, the
people wefve interviewed, who are the people that help our Town to grow and main-
tain their 'stability. They're the principal owners of/and people involved with the
areas of agriculture, the fishing industry, and the area of tourism. We need
affordable housing here. Last week I had the pleasure of listening to Lee Koppelman,
who addressed the Chamber of Commerce here recently. If you don't know Dr. Lee
Koppelman, he's a very hard thinking man. I consider him like the Robert Moses of
our County. He said unless you have affordable housing you cannot stabilize, and
further you cannot grow. These are very important to us. It's very interesting
that the very nice plan that was presented to the work session today, and I'm not
a builder, but tried to accomplish all the things the Town wanted, it's very disturb-
ing to me, and tO people I'm associated with, that they have not been able to get a
meeting with the Town Planners. I was here two weeks ago and they were sure
they'd have a meeting last Friday. They were never granted that meeting. Now
that's very disturbing, and would have to be disturbing to this Town Council--Town
Board, as why someone with a plan cannot get a hearing. The hearing wouldn't
be with the Town Board, but with the Planners. What's wrong with the Planners?
I'd like to jump to another subject. We have the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area.
Apparently there was a meeting. I was not here two years ago in which a lot of
things were voiced. However, a number of people who appeared'today--the Kenneys
Beach Association, the Captain Kidds group--and by the way I would say they
represent pretty much the people along the Sound. [ don't live there, but I live
on the water. ! feel very sympathetic to them as a citizen. I don't know why we
can't get the DEC here--by the way we pay for their salarieS--why don't you set
a date and insist that they be here and let's have an open hearing, which I think
is being arranged. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to address the Town Board on a resolution?
Job n ?
JOHN COSTELLO: I'd just like to make a simple statement. In the summer of 1985,
when I applied for the "M" Zone, the intention was to provide some affordable--moderate
income housing--affordable housing, whatever you want, in Southold Town. That's
still the intention. There's never been any other intention. I think we've made a
step in the right direction from presenting a concept plan this afternoon. It's easier
when you see something. When you see something being headed towards a goal and
! hope it continues to head that direction. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to address the Town Board on a resolution?

bonded amount. If we can't do that then we're going to go ahead, rather than
go through another emergency procedure and proceed with the kennels, because
the kennels are what our main concern is.

added-on-to agenda, if any of the Councilmen would like to have anything further
say, starting on my right with George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Just that I'm very happy to see that Resolution 1, which
has been a recurring resolution here wasn't acted on tonight. We had a very
146
AUGUST 26, 1986
excellent meeting with the purchasers of the Co'stello property and they have some
pretty good ideas. It's not exactly our law, but then we can't always have every-
thing our own ways. It's a realistic approach to solve the ultimate problem which
is paramount out here in this area. As we were meeting this morning a builder
walked in, who I'm very familiar with, and met with Jean and I and just told us,
not in defense of a Local Law or promoting a Local Law, but just told us how he
had just lost another employee who moved into Connecticut and was able to purchase
a two-story house in Connecticut [or around $75,000 to $80,000, and there's plenty.
of jobs up there, so the man is ultimately gone. So that's what we're faced with
on a regular basis. Being a Town employer and hearing from so many other
employers in Town. The young fellow that worked on my boat this summer for
Mills is gone. He's leaving. He's been one of Mills' main men for years and he's
leaving the area. He can't afford to live here, and he can have a chance to
a business going of his own and a place to live at a reasonable price elsewhere~
This is the problem that we're dealing with. Not whether or not a developer
is going to make a couple of bucks, but what is the ultimate result. Will we
get affordable housing for the young people in Southold who really need it,
and I'm glad to see, like I said, that the Town Board did not move on Resolution
No. 1 again, and I hope that it stays that way. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Since I haven't had a chance to make the Work
Session today, and I missed the presentation by the people with regards Resolution
No. 1, I didn't feel it was pertinent or I didn't, feel i should introduce Resolution
No. I again until 'i've had an opportunity to review the plan, review the "M" Zone
requirements and sit down with the Town Attorney to see if it can be done. Resolutic
No.~ 1~ is not dead, it's just on hold.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes. I listened to the presentation and ! don't
there's anyone who knows the problem as well as I do for the simple reason I've
worked with young people all my life. I have three young people who had difficuties
finding homes. My only concern is water supply in this area and one of our top
people in the Health Department gives me a warning that this is going to possibl~
create problems down the line. I think we should be very, very careful in
more [oad on to the water problems of the Greenport Water System, and I asked
of the principals ~hat are in this development to talk to Marry Trent, who
to just previously, and hopefully he will get some idea of my concern, and
that's my real concern. I surely think we do need housing. I'm not
housing~that's for sure. ~The problem is, is it at the correct place?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, as Chairman of the Town Board Housing Advisory
Committee I would just like to say that I'm gratified that we have gotten this far
and I hope that through communication and cooperation from all those involved that
we will obtain Our goal of affordable housing. On a lighter note, ! would just like
to express a thank you to Susan Fossett and Pete Grattan, who was responsible
for patrolling our beaches this summer, for the job they did. The Committee has
worked very hard--the Beaches and Parks Committee, and I think we've made a
dent and we've begun. We have some way to go, but I think things functioned
and I think Paul will agree, a lot better this year then they have in the past.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. I have to agree with you because the
calls in to my office certainly were almost nothing compared to other years. The
problems really were handled much better. I would like to ask the Town Board
to meet, just for about ten minutes, right after this meeting in Executive Session
on a possible hiring. And I would like to just mention also to our Ex-Supervisor
that our Town Clerk doesn't have sore feet or legs any more from being kicked.
Somebody controlls themself. Okay, I'd like to ask now if anyone in the audienc~
wouldPhil? like to address the Town Board? Over here on the left anyone? Center? l~..._~_i
PHIL BARTH, Southold: I'd just like to address the Town Board in relation to
a policy of the Work Session. I'm looking over the agenda for the Work Session
and although there's Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas on here, there's no one scheduled
to talk on that, Yet there were people here that took up hours of the time of the
Work Session with their presentation. Now I'm not opposed to people expressing
themselves, but I think that if it's going to be done, then it should be done the
same way as we have a policy for the public meetings and we should have a policy
for the Work Session, and that way at least the thing would be in an orderly fashion,
otherwise whoever feels like--they want to come down .here and express themselves in
a Work Session, comes down and expresses themself and our Work Session drags on
interminably. So I think if you're going to have a policy where you want the public
to be able to speak on a certain subject, do the same thing that you do on the public
session. Give five, ten minutes, whatever, at the beginning of the Work Session to
discuss any of the things that are going to be taken up at the Work Session.
