AUGUST 28, !. REPORTS. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay? Moving on to the first item on the agenda which is Reports. 1. Town Justice Price's report for July 1984. 2. Justice Edwards' report for July 1984. 3. Suffolk County Department of Labor Indicator Report - August 1984. These are on file' in the Town Clerk's Office for anyone who want to see them. 4. I'd like to ask the Councilmen now if they have anything further to report. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We've had a Code Committee meetings. We've met twice already and scheduled for another one shortly. This is with regards to the two family conversions as well as to the farmstands and hopefully it will be ready for the deadline which is September 14th for a final report one way or another on those two projects. Also tentative meeting with the Trustees with regards to the houseboat and housebarge law. That's probably the best way to go. The involved ,people, marine people were in there, who own marinas, etcetera. It was a nice give and take and exchange of ideas I believe the Trustees will try to come up with a suitable working law and then again meet with the marine people and talk to them about it. So before there is anything is done there will be public input. Likewise on the farmstands I will also meet, theCode Committee will meet with the local area farmers and ask for their input on any farm law that we come,up with regulating the farmstands. So it will be something where we get Public input rather than just coming out and doing it 'ourselves. We had a meeting with the Police Committee with regards to the ongoing discussions on the PBA Contract which is coming up again. And I know I missed one or two other meetings but that's aboUt it. I can't think what they were at the present time. - SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Councilman Townsend. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Yes, I attended a COuple of the--Code Committee and Police Committee meetings that Jay referred to. One thing I might add and I think Jay is to be commended for doing this; he came up with a questionnaire and a procedure for canvassing the community to try to determine what some of the housing needs are that we hear talked about and I think we're going to..talk to a lot of the local real estate agents, we're going to deal with senior~.citizen clubs and organizations and pass out a~questionnaire to try to determine some of the real needs in the community for housing. In that same line I met with a developer from the south side that's working on a Iow or moderate income housing project for the Town of East Hampton, which involves the establishment of a Housing Authority and talked with him about their methods and procedures. It seems that we might work on something along the same lines, although I'm not--the scale they're working on is a little bit larger than what I think we have to work on. ! haven't made a report to the Town Board on this as of yet. I met with Bob Tasker and Judy Terry to discuss--to further refine the landfill: fees and we apparently, came up with some problems which are going to necessitate another hearing and a new proposal for a Local Law regulating the use of the landfill, but I think we finally have the fee schedule nailed down and it's ready to go as soon as we have those hearings. I had lunch with Scott Davis w~o is a officer of a biological purifcation corporation which does the engineering on re- trench sewage disPosal systems. They are interested in seeing if Greenport can'-~---- use one of their systems for the elimination of sludge in their drying beds. It's estimated t,hat we could reduce the amount of sludge going into the landfill significantly by planting their existing beds with reeds and flora that they recommend and that might have some impact on preservation of our landfill. We may go up to see a similar project, i understand it's in New Jersey., sometime at the end of September or beginning of October. That's about all ! have. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joseph. Paul? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Nothing. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean? COUNClLMANWOMAN COCHRAN: The only thing I did attend the two Code Committees and the only thing I would like to add to that in' relation to the two family housing-- one of £he things we were looking at is 'that it might be the possibility of providin9 affordable housing for our young people and.our seniors or anyone inbetween that has the need. We here in Southold have a Water Advisory Committee to the Board because we feel it's very important with our sensitive water supply, i would like the Board at some point to consider the possibility of perhaps a Advisory Committee to the Board in the area of affordable housin9. We sat in that Committee and went around and around as far as some of the problems that are facing us in the area of housing and I think that it, might behoove the Board to look at the possibility of a advisory committee in that area. Also I attended the Freshwater Wetlands Hearing. I'm aware this morning that we did give that assignment to Councilman Stoutenburgh to do more investigation, but many areas of freshwater wetlands in our Township do not appear on the DEC map--preliminary map, and I think it would behoove.Us to also investigate that there are many many pieces that should be added to this map. I also attended the Water Advisory Committee meeting in Riverhead; a joint meetin~i which was 588 AUGUST 28, 1984 held for the purpose of discussing the two Towns jointly funding a study a~ far as filter districts are concerned. I think that's about it,' Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Judge Edwards? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just that we're making preparations for the last big weekend on the Island and the tourists will start to depart and we'll get our Island back. We also have the same housing problems that Jean spoke of on the Island. Don't know how we're going to resolve it, but it is definitely a problem over there also. That's it, Frank. ~_UPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Judge. I would just like to add a: little to what J~an said about Water Advisory and to compliment the Town and the Water Advisory Committ'ee. We are far in advance of I wo~ld say almost any Town in the Country that We've heard of and very Unique program and one that I'm glad to see everybodyl~,i~ agreeing about that there is a need and the need to work towards the solution before we get into a crisis situation and then you tend to spend too much money and make a lot of mistakes. Also just as a sidelight yesterday i attended the Roll-Out Ceremony at Grumman for their X-29 experimental plane and it was most impressive. ! met the Vice President, Vice President Bush ,and our two senators and many other military brass and it's quite a plane and'i they've really done quite a job on it. The :people that work down in Grumman really should be commenced for the tremendous program they put on and in developing this experimental program. II.. PUBLIC NOTICES. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving. on to our second item on the agenda which i's Public Notices. 1. DEC Notice of a Public Hearing to be held on the application of G.O.F.A. - Joint Venture, by MK Associates, Donald J. Middleton, President, to construct 34 condominium units, bulkhead, tennis courts, parking area, clubhouse, two floats, to be held September 7, 1984 at 10:00 A.M., Village Hall, Third Street, Greenport. 2.

COMMUNICATIONS. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on. to the third item on our agenda, Communications. 1. From Dimension Cable Services - effective September 17th, Channel 61, a new station will begin broadcasting. Our plans are to place WTIC on Channel 18 on our basic line-up in place of SPN. It's just a point that they're notifying us. On the cable franchise these people are moving along very well on their reconstruction. We still are receiving complaints, we still are calling Cable TV. They've made some progress and this rebuild is probably their biggest show of effort and they are progressing very nicely. I understand the talks are better and they're close to an agreement in Greenport so the rest of the Town will be able to be hooked and they are ahead of schedule if anything. So I'm very happy to hear that and hopefully this rebuild, will eliminate many of the problems of poor service, brown-outs, blacl~- outs, whatever--~(hite-outs, whatever they have on them and the new contract does call for a series of fines if people--if the complaints are not answered properly. This is one of the strongest points in the new contract and I hope that when the whole system is rebuilt that they'll have a complete change of attitude down in Cablevision. Ohe very strong point is that they did change their'leadership. They havela new general manager down there and I think this might help. 2. The second communication is from a Bob Haskins: "Dear Frank, Thanks very much to you and your associates for the plaqUe presented me at the conclusion of:you~ Board Meeting here on the Island. It was very very easy to work with you:because you wanted to work with us. Kindest personal regards to you and members of the Board." This Bob Haskins is one of those people on Fishers Island, he was, the head of the Civia Association last year, and one of those who does a tremendous ~ob of~ volunteering to help other people and it was a pleasure to'work with him.

We'll buy it, we keep it or we'll resell it if its possible, but we don't want to lose this valuable piece of property down there. Any other questions on it?

This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: My concern is for water in the area and if we could do anything at all to help prevent the overdevelopment in particular in that area, I think we should. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ! agree. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I agree. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And I think everybody does agree and I will have to vote yes I'm afraid. - MRS. JEAN TIEDKE, Southo!d: Frank, I'd like to ask a question about why diligence comes into this? if you pass a law that repeals another law from the past-- COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Bob is probably the best to answer that. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: When they enacted the two acre zoning, after they enacted it they realized that there were certain, cases which were pending for sub- ivision map approval that through no reason of the applicant never achieved approval by the time the two acre zoning went in; The purpose of this law was to afford those peoPle to come forward and if 'they. could prove to this Board that had it not been through reasons beyond their control they would have had their subdivision approved prior to two acre zoning and that's the purpose of the law. In other words, they felt it was a hardship to some people who through no fault of their own never got their maps approved and they felt it was only fair to give them an opportunity to come forth and prove that. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Bob. Joe? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And the other reason behind that is if you put a provision such as that in the law it's felt it makes a stronger law if it's challenged because people will challenge it on an issue like this and defeat the whole law on the basis of the fact that consideration wasn't given to those people that put that time in and they might be able to strike down the two acre zoning or the upzoning and it was put in there to insure that we have a stronger law and that was the way it was explained to me and is one of the reasons why i voted for that ,and I think it's probably true.- MRS. TIEDKE: On the other hand--- SUPERVISOR MURPHY: One more comment, Jean. MRs. TIEDKE: All right. The new law was presumably enacted because of concern about groundwater and the public interest so what--in the long run, what should weigh against what? I find it very distressing. COUNCIl_MAN STOUTENBURGH: I can understand your feeling there, Jean, very much so, but I'm not sure we can do much about it.' We have run out--how many do we have--iS this the last Of them now? TOWN CLERK TERRY: No, I have, I think, a total of three left. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I think we have three more, Jean and then they're finished, but there is 'that sort of grandfather clause .for the people who proceeded before the two acre zoning and in no fault of their own were held back. It's hard to swallow r but I'm afraid we have to do it, and should we not do it then we could be, I thinkr brought right into court and lose very simply. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, moving on to Resolution No. 7, a trailer renewal. 7. Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Justice Edward, it was RESOLVED that the application of Zdzislaw Mikolajczyk for renewal of his singl,e family house traile'r permit which expired on August 9, 198~, for trailer located .on the north side of private road, off of east side Main Road t Mattituck, New York, be and hereby is 9ranted for a six (6) month period. 7.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes:- Councilwoman Cochran, Councilman Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.

They do work, I'm pleased to SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone in the audience would like to m'ake. Ll~ comments? Ruth? ,., .~ MRS. RUTH OLIVA: Yes, I'd like to go into a little more detail about that Freshwater Wetlands Informational Meeting that we had last week. The purpose of this is for the DEC to hand over jurisdiction of their freshwater wetlands that will be desiglnated on a special map, to the Towns if they so desire. If the Towns do-not desire go take jurisdiction, then the State will do so. The problem is with our maps in say different-- to Fishers Island or Shelter Island, they're designed sole source aquifers, which we actually are, but have not received that designation from the DEC which we feel is really most important for the Board to push for. But anyway, for Fishers Island and for Shelter Island every pond or freshwater wetlands under the-12.4 acres, 'which the DEC requires to be classified as wetlands, or vernal ponds are listed and drawn in in the maps in Fishers Island and Shelter Island. With designations of just what is in each of these ponds as far as the wildlife, as far as the vegetation is. concerned, and again'they have that because they care classified as sole source aquifers. We do not have that classification. So when we looked at the maps we just saw big large areas, such as Laurel Lake', Marratooka Lake, Great Pond designated. Now to go back two years ago the Planning Board asked us, or specifically Lorraine Terry, to map out fresh and salt water wetlands for the Planning Board. Lorr~aine Terry was Chairman, I was on the committee, as was Rich Latham. Lorraine actually did all the work, but expecial'ly because we basically, ! think, all know where the salt water wetla~nds are. She did a survey of all the freshwater wetlands and v~rnal areas in Southold Town. So we presented this to the DEC and said that it is very important to us, although we do not have tl~at designation of sole source aquifer, we are in a critical water supply area and each of these wetlands that under 12.4 .acres in designation, or the vernal ponds that are wet in spring and fall and winter, but not in summer, are · extremely important for our _~'echarge areas and should be put on the map. I would also say they are important ~o.the Town government as a whole because once--especially these vernal areas are filled in, very often then it creates a run-off problem because the water iust percolates up to the neighbors, and then they come screaming to the Town Board, or we create a flooding problem on one of the Town roads and ,again the people are coming in here. complaining. I think we have that problem up on the Old North Road here in'Southold, where there's a huge flood always in the road because of filling in a pond. So for all these reasons it is extremely important us to have this. Now, the DEC took this information that Mrs. Terry had and hopefully will be putting it on the map. Tomorrow there is a hearing by the DEC down in the Legislature Room in Riverhead at 2:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. and as a member of the Water Advisory Committee 1 was hoping that the Town Board could make some sort of a statemAnt asking that these areas be put- on that map so the Town would have jurisdiction or the DEC, whoever decides to take them, but that it is extremely important for these areas for our water recharge area, that they be protected from any development,' regardless of size.' Most of our areas'a~re under that 12.4 designation--acres--by the DEC, so it ~s important for all these little wetland areas, ponds, small ponds, irrigation ponds, regular ponds,, or vernal areas it be located. Now I really ask the Board that'l could take, or we could send down to these hearings some sort of recommendation that they be put on the map. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth, I couldn't agree with you more. I think we should. I would like you to say something on behalf of the Town Board. I'd like to ask any Town Board member to go. it's impossible for me to go tomorrow. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I might be able to go. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'd like to ask a co~ple of questions. MRS. OLIVA: Yes, go ahead, Joe. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Who mapped the wetlands? MRS. OLIVA: The DEC did this. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: They mapped all the wetlands in Southold Town? MRS. OLIVA: No, they haven't mapped them ali. It was Henry Raynor that asked AUGUST 28, 1984 401 Lorraine Terry to do it because she pro~bably is'the most knowledgable person in Town, just wl~ere these a~eas are be~i~!<l~i~?'huband-~O'rked for Agway and a farmer and they know all these areas and she had been President of the NFEC years ago. But she really has really documented each one, who owns the land, and what have you, but she had never put it on a map because she never had a good map to work with, but they're all listed and--- COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: But she's not a--is she specifically trained in--- COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: No. MRS. OLIVA: i don't think that's necessary, because--- COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'll tell you why ! asked that question, if somebody has a--we wouldn't want to put something on a map that is designated as wetlands if it wasn't a wetland. MRS. OLIVA: Well, i can assure you maybe she has had some--she has had training in marine biology and what have you, but again you're going to have to go back to the DEC bec~iuse the F.ish and Wildlife are going to investigate all these areas. So you will have their'backup as a DEC recommendation if'they're going to put on the map, not 'just somebody locally. They're going to go out and look themselves. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, that's what I wanted to be certain of. MRS. OLIVA: Yes, it will be backed up. Steve CrockeH, I think his name is, from the Fish and Wildlife Agency of the DEC. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And what limiiations, for instance, if someone has a house with a pond in' the back. MRS. OLIVA: Well then you probably would be almost the same as the saltwater wetlands. ' You wouldn't be able to build within 75 feet of it. That!s what it is for any wetlands areas, 75 feet. A 'hundred foot for septic systems. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'd like to take a look at the map before I request the DEC to do that. MRS. OLIVA: Well, again, they are iust mapping--this is what we want to have put on the map, Joe, and they will review it and I'm sure there will probably be a lot of back and forth back there, but at least that you request that these areas be put on the map and they will double check them. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They might turn some of them down. MRS. OLIVA: They may turn some of them down, but at least you'll get most of them on there. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I feel that we should definitely have freshwater wetlands-- protect our freshwater wetlands, but I'd like to make sure that what we're protecting is freshwater wetlands. MRS. OLIVA: ! assure you it is. MRS. JEAN TIEDKE: Nothing said or done tomorrow is 'going to be final,. MRS. OLIVA: No, as ! said it will be checked by the Fish and Wildlife Service. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: .Ruth, how far did you get with the State as far as sole source? Did they give any---. MRS. OLIVA: No, that's another thing that this Town Board should be writing to Albany about or something, that we are not designated as sole source aquifer. I saw this~-- COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGN: I thought we were. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We are. MRS. OLIVA: No, it isn't. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth, we are. We are. MRS. TIEDKE: By Federal we are. MRS. OLIVA: But not by t-~e State because---. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Certainly we are. Under the Landfill Law we are~ 402 AUGUST 28, 1984 MRS. OLIVA: According to the fellow from--I think--yes, it was Steve Crockell. He said they were just going to start designating the south fork as a sole source aquifer because the U. S. Geological survey had just done that whole study down there, but we didn't have it done up here and I said, why aren't we, that's what we are is a s01e source aquifer and I think somebody from the Board should investigate just what our status is up there. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay? TOWN TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: I think their terminology for sole source aqUifer they use that was in keeping with the fact of the possibility of these areas having surface water supplies for drinking water supplies as opposed to below ground. That's the impression I got when he talked, In other words, when he spoke of Fishers Island he said they have surface water supplies and those ponds are cited for possible additional use. MRS. OLIVA: So are some of ours. TOWN TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Yes, I'm saying that's what he said. That's the impression I got. He said that they were designated as a sole source so that they could automatically take a lead agency status. MRS. OLIVA: Right, but they were also--but then he also told me that they were thinking of making the south fork sole source aquifer status too, so why shouldn't we have it? It's worth at least looking into. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. Yes, mam, in the back. MRS. JEAN LePRE, Cutchogue: Thank you, Mr. Murphy. I'll be quick because i know this 'isn't on the agenda. I have an eight year old retarded child. I wanted to thank you and Mr. Muir for giving us the swimming program this summer,, it was beautiful, very nice. I am concerned that the recreation for the handicapped, which we requested back in' the spring, we submitted a request in June, of some kind of a program to get started. We've been promised meetings and now I understand today we are going to have a meeting in mid-September. Wl~at i'm concerned about is it's goir~g to be too late for 1985:. My daughter has never been able to participate in any main-streaming sports because they are too competitive, except--well, it's no~ sports, it's Girl' Scouts, she's been able to participate. Not in any sports in Southold Town in six years. She's eight years old now. The only thing she has is what the school provides and that's after 3:00 on Friday or weekends, all summer there's nothing. And ! am concerned as a parent for her, that .she's given some recreaIion. And for the quote, "normal youth~!, ,in'Southold Town, but specifically for my,child. ! would hope something Would get going soon befores, we lose 1985 budget and we lose any grants that are available, because i know Bob Sansone, Director of AHRC, has agreed to work with writing up some grants' and I don't think he's been contacted yet and I'm very concerned that we don't lose it for 1985. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. I'm sorry to wake the poor little baby up. MRS. LePRE: She's iust had her afternoon nap. Thank you very much for listening. SUPERVISOR MURPHY; Is there anyone else would like to speak? Jean. MRS. TIEDKE: I had. to come late to the meeting with the DEC, the information meeting, but I did have a long discussion with them and I pushed, on behalf of the League of Women Voters, the same thing that Ruth was saying, that these small areas of freshwater~,~wetlands are very important for our groundwater supply; Whether or not we ever have surface water supply, which ! doubt we'll have very much of, they're very important. And the three people there appeared to agree and ! did look over the map that Lorraine had made and she has done a spectacularly good job. Now maybe she got in a few feet that aren't wetlands, but I wouldn't worry ;about it because 'DEC said they would check each one out themselves. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Anyone else like to make any comments? (No response.) If not, I would like a motion to adjourn. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I would like to make one more resolution. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Have we agreed that if I can't go, Ruth can represent us ? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It would be all right with me. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: That's what I want~to make sure of. I don't want anybody saying--- SUPERV~ISOR MURPHY: Does anybody object? (No response.) MRS. OLIVA: As long as~the DEC i~".~bir~g~to.-double check. Just these areas will be placed on the map and that as long as--- SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You're not binding the Town with anything. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ! would like it inspected by the DEC. MRS. OLIVA: That's what I mean, the DEC double check them. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. COUNCILMAN-TOWNSEND: I've been asked by some fo the Town workers that have been here for several years to close the meeting with a moment of silence for Mildred Chapman who was a Clerk in the Board of Assessor's Office for many many years and who pased away last week, and that a copy of the minutes be sent to her family by the Town Clerk. 27.
