Councilmen's reports, i'd like to ask the Councilmen if they have anything
to report, starting on my left with Jean.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I did attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting], which the
Chairman Jay Schondebare, will be reporting on. Also i've been busy working with
Councilman Stoutenburgh on the STOP Proc, Ir. am and I'm sure Paul will be report on
that. So that is all I have at this time.
SUPREVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. 'Paul?
~OUNClLMAN STOUTENBURGH: Well, just to bring people up to date. We are rollin~
Very well with our STOP Program. We Have our insurances, we have our flyer which
has just been finished, we have posters on the way. 'Our big push is going to be the
next two weeks, or I should say from probably the first of the new month coming up
on to the 14th. We will have a program open to the public between 9:00 and 3:00 in
the afternoon. We'~:e finding many interesting things coming about. We think we're
probably going to have one of the best STOP Programs in Suffolk. I think we're
going to make Islip Town's look very small from what ! see the i'nput. Jean, can you
add anything to it? .... -
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: No, ! just think everythings in place. If there is any
organization or service group that would like a 15 minute showing of the slide
presentation-that we're wo~rking on to help--this is more of an educational thing to
help spread the word throughout the community as far as STOP is concerned~ -We'd
like a little -coverage in the paper, if possible, so anyone can contact the committe~
and we'd be v_e_ry ~appy-._to come in- and talk to ,them to encouraqe thei.r attending.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY; Okay. Thank you, Paul. Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Last week, or after the Town Board meeting I had a
chance to return to my youth and go up to Toronto and compete with a bunch of
other old foggies in World Masters Rowing Team. That was fun and relaxing in
many ways. As you know, Frank, we both spoke to the Orient Association on
Friday night and got informed as to 'what concerns them. Last night i spoke to
the New Suffolk Civic Association about concerns that they had. I also sat in on
the Commerce and Industry Committee meeting briefly, which Jay chaired and !'11
defer to him to make a report of that meeting. That's all I have, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joe. Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: No comment, it was a very good meeting. The
outcome basically is that we have a resolution on for today to establish an Economic
Advisory Committee. The purpose of that is to gather information as to the present
economy in the Town of Southold, what contributes to it. The future of that present
economy, that is what industries are viable and what is not, and also to search and
look for additional firms that we can bring in to the Town for the purposes of expand-
ing the Town's tax base. To increase our taxes by increasing assessment I don't feel
is _the way to go. So we're hoping that perhaps we can bring some firms in here and
we can get additional taxes and jobs. That's it.
AUGUST 27, 1985
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, sir. Okay, ! would just like to report that
some time in the middle of September there is going to be a housin9 seminar for
Towns down in Philadelphia, I believe and the information should be coming very
shortly and hopefully at the next meeting we'll have authorization to have several
Town Board members to attend, as well as there is going to be another solid waste
seminar in Philadelphia in the middle 'to the end of September which I will be attend-
lng, in fact I've been asked to speak at it on volume reduction, which is a program
that we're doing in our Landfill and we're doing quite well witl~ it. I would ask
everybody to cooperate with Paul and Jean's Committee on the STOP Program. It's
most important. It's a way to get rid of hazardous waste, chemicals that are around
the house that you might have stored and that if they were ever brought into the
Landfill or dumped in your own backyard accidentially or whatever, could cause
quite a major problem for the aquifer underneath you and so it's very important
and I'm sure we're going to have an excellent program here as both Paul and Jean
mentioned. -

Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, .
WHEREAS, Louis Hodor and Max Staller, by p,etition dated October 24, 1983, applied

Code requiring two acres for a residential subdivision rather than one acre, on certain
property containing 25. 100 acres on the west side of Rocky Point Road, East Marion,
known as "East Marion Woods, Section 1", all pursuant to Local Law No. 11-1983; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Southold Town Board on said petitioh on
the 13th day of March, 1984, after which the Board adopted a resolution denying the
relief requested and determining that the petitioners did not diligently prosecute their
application for a major subdivision; and
WHEREAS, an Article 78 proceeding was brought against the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County, New York, and the Planning Board of the Town of Southold by Louis Hodor
and Max Staller, seeking to set aside the Board's decision; and
WHEREAS, Supreme Court Justice Morton I. Willen, by order dated and filed November
21, 1984, declared the decision of the Town Board annulled and remitted the matter to
the Town Board for reconsideration de novo and the making of findings; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has, on the 2nd day of July, 1985, held a re-hearing on
the aforesaid petition, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity
to be heard,
06
AUGUST 27~ 1985
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the testimony given on the 2nd day of July, 1985;
based upon all of the materials and exhibits heretofore submitted to this Board; and
based upon the personal knowledge of the members of this Town Board, this Board
finds that:
The applicants herein are in the business of developing residential and commercial
real estate in the Town of Southold and in other townships within the County of
Suffolk. That real estate development in the County of Suffolk and in the Town of
Southold is regulated to some degree by the :Suffolk County Department of Health
Services, which department would oversee and insure compliance with the provisions
of Article 6 "Realty Subdivisions and Development". -'
The above-referenced Article, for purposes of this. determination essentially deals
with the provision of potable'.water and adequate sewage disposal systems for residential
and commercial real estate developments in the County of Suffolk.
Petitioners engga ed counsel to _process their application for a major realty .sub-
Van Tuyl, 'P.C.~ land su~Teyor and Prdfessional engineer, to prepare the necessary
maps and drawings in'connection the~-ewith.. 'Max'Staller Associates, a company either
wholly-owned or controlled by one or both o~' the petitioners, was also involve~l in deal-
ing with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. Statements by petitioners'
counsel indicate that petitioners were delayed in obtaining Health Department approval
by a change in the manner of the administration of the l~rovisi0ns ot~ Article' 6. This
Board disagrees with such contention.
The applicants are charged with knowledge of the provisions of Article 6 of the
Suffolk County Health Code and the manner of its administration. In October 1982,
petitioners were made aware by letter of the fact that-the County would be adhering
strictly to the fact that approval under the provisions of Article 6 would be required
prior to an approval of a subdivision map, not after.
No application for approval by the County was submitted until July of 1983, which
approval was granted by the County within about one month.
Petitioners claim that they were delayed between October of 198_2 and April' or May
of 1983, because of the County's failure to Send certain data requested by their
professional engineer and attorney. We find that this contention is totally lacking in
credibility. This is especially so since the information sought would be public informa-
tion and, undoubtedly; could have been obtained within a single day or two at the
outside if this matter had been diligently pursued. ---
The petitioner-applicants herein, ~'ealizing that'Article 6 would have to be cc~mplied
with; simply did not promptly pursue necessary-information or required approvals.
Petitioners also contend that another reason for their inability to obtain map
approval:was the fact that Mr. Van Tuyl took a sabbatical in September of 1982,
and di not return to his practice until May of 1983. It is alleged that Mr. Van
Tuy's absence made it impossible to prepare and file necessary maps with the Plan-
ning Department, the County of Suffolk and the Town Highway Superintendent.
This contention is disputed by the very testimony of ,Mr, Van Tuyl at the Hearing.
This Board finds that the petitioners must be held responsible for the lack of
attention or failure to proceed of their agents or employees, professional or otherwise.
The petitioners do not contend that they were unaware of Mr. Van Tuyl's
absence. The fact that Mr. Van Tuyl had left his practice was a matter of common
knowledge and petitioners were not diligent in taking the necessary steps to assure
the continuation of the work on their subdivision map. There' is testimony that Mr.
Van Tuyl, or his associates, engaged a different firm of professional surveyors and
engineers to work on on-going matters in his absence, but there is absolutely no
testimony given to indicate whether this firm was engaged by Mr. Van Tuyl to work
on the matter at hand and there is no testmony from the petitioners, themselves,
concerning their efforts to make certain that work continued on their subdivision map.
In fact, neither of the petitioners testified at the Hearing on July 2, 1985.
A further reason for the failure of the petitioners to timely file their map is the
fact that they failed to diligently prepare and file amended maps between the period
of September 15, 1981 and April 29, 1982, a period of slightly in excess of seven
months.
Accordingly, this Board~finds that the petitioners did not efficier~tly and promptly
obtain the necessary approvals from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services
and did not expeditiously process their ai3plication for major subdivision approval be~¢-~
the Planning Board.
This Board will not speculate on what petitioners could have done or should ha~;;_.;
done to have caused their map to have been timely filed, but, based upon the record
before us, we find that the petitioners did not diligently prosecute their subdivision
application and that the lack of final approval was not due to circumstances beyond
petitioners' control and, thus, their application for relief, pursuant to Local Law No.
11-1983, is hereby denied.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The decision is five pages long (double spaced) and it is
on file with the Town Clerk. We just received it today, this afternoon, from the
special attorney that drew up the answer. It basically denying him of the relief
from two acres.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Basically what we have decided on this thing, put into
language that will hold up in court. ¥1e feel it was the applicant's burden to get
the necessary paperwork from his aclents, the. surveyor and so forth and that the
AUGUST 27, 1985
delay was not caused in this instanc~'e by the Plannin'g Board, but by the applicant's

lunch I read.-an article where Governor Cuomo was applauding the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission's turning down of Shor~ham's lack of a~plan--Emergency Evacuation Plan,
and it has made me think about another letter that appeared in our mail regarding
the ash dump, which in some ways is a similar situation. As you know, the Governor
authorized the I,ong Island Regional Ashfill Board to find a site for an ash dump,
which there has been some indication it may well be in part of Southold Town, on
the western border. In our mail was a letter from a Riverhead Town Councilman
and a member of their Industrial Development Agency in opposition to an ash dump
AUGUST 27, 1985
13
in their town ~nd I think it would be incumbent upon us to also express our
opposition to siting of an ash dump'.l~rl~ Oc~P town. Certainly just because we have
less population and more open space is no reason to choose our area for the
of the western towns on Long Island, especially considering the delicateness of our
water table. I know that they would take precautions to protect that, however, that
much ash coming in with heavy metals and God knows what else, is not something I
think we want in our town and I want to go on record in opposition. I'd like to
send a letter to the Governor. I'd like to have you, on behalf of the Town Board,
send a letter to the Governor. If anybody would like to make that---
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I think we should have a resolution next time, next meeting.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: All right.
:5UpERVI$OP~ MURPHY: We'll tollow it atter K.verheac~'s. ii, ese hearings that you're
talking about are on environmental impact statement. The draft and it's more of a
scoping to take in the whole concept. No site has been picked yet.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No, but we ~now that there has been contact made with
LILCO on that.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The environmental part of it might knock it out from even
any consideration ..... -~
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I think it wouldn't harm us to be on record.

give you this..-note--it's not a secret from everybody, it's just that ! don't want to
say anything until. I'm sup'posed to.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ..Yes, we'll-discuss that. _Frank met with John Fillos from
Mattituck. He is the man we were talking abc~ut. John, if you would like to meet
the rest of the Board after, we'd appreciate it. John is an engineer at the City
College of New York, and we'll discuss who will be going--we'll have it on the
next meeting as a resolution (Groundwater Technology:Pollution and Transport
