reports. These reports are. all on file' in the Town CIerk.'s Office for anyone who
is interested. If anyone questions if 'Southold has been found, and if there is a
building boom going on, you should look at the Building Inspector's report.

JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes, Frank, just one comment. There was a letter put in all
of the Councilmen's and your mail,' Fishers Island is approaching R. W. Beck and
Associates to get a pr,o, posal on how.much it w~ould cost--price to do the proposal
for Fishers Island Electric Corporation becoming its own entity, and the Electric
Corporation on Fishers Island is will~ng to sell the stock and it's .basically the same
thing as the study that you're h~ving here in Southo]d, but' Beck came out in one
letter anc~ said it's very,~ very encouraging so ~ne peopie of Fishers. isiand, wi~h
everything that's available out there, it's going to be a lot e~sier for the Town to
do this than it is for Southold to break away from LILCO. So they asked for a
balance sheet of the Fishers Island Electric Company for 1984,, which has been sent
on to ~hem and now they're going_to come up with a cost figure on how much it would
cost to do the study, so it Iooksl very encouraging. That's it.' Thanks.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank yoi~,~'Ray. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, ! attended the dedication ceremony at the Town
Landfill for the new Water Filtration Plant. Of course, as many of you know, this
is being funded by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. Its purpose is to
remove pesticides, nitrates from the groundwater using different methods, carbon
absorption, ion exchange a-nd reverse osmosis~ and this is'a pilot program and I'm
sure all of us are anxious to see what the results will'be and what happens with it.~
I attended a meeting on STOP with Paul and I'm sure, Paullwill'be reporting on this'
as Chairman. Also I attended a meeting that was held here last week in relation 'to
the celebration of the anniversary of the United Nations, which will'be forty years.
old this year, and also it's going to be the International Year of Youth. If anyone
is-interested in working with this committee, please contact Jack Komako at 477-2362.
Also, the Affordable Housing Committee met on. Thursday, the 11th,'and we did receive
the questionnaires--or the data from the questionnaires that were, sent out to the
community. The Committee set a meeting for this coming Thursday so that they can
begin to--with would be the 18th, and they wiil~'fully analyz~ the information we have
received and then they will begin work to formulate recommendations to the Town
Board. They're. hoping they have this report to the Town Board in'the very near
future. Also the Town, by' mutual agreement, has been meeting regularly reviewing
the Master Plan, and I would say we are about seven eighths done at this point. A
little bit more. to go and a great deal future distance in the process. That's it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Like Jean, i attended the ribbon cutting up at the
Landfill, and of course we all know why the Landfill was selected for the site. I
think we have probably the worst conditions in'the whole Town there, what with the
continUal dumping of every~thing at our loca! Landfill and this is why this'site was
selected, and I think it's going to help us tremendously in the long run. We're hoping
to get a grant to help us get through this entanglement of water quality and problems
with our water and I think this kind of thing showing Southold Town to be a leader
is going to help and this'will'sure~y go a long ways. We're going to try to get some--
did we ever get that picture, that we took there, Frank?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It's in the paper.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Oh, I didn't even see it. Also the other thing is
this Master Plan which is a real interesting concept which we're all hoping to get
through as quickly as possible, we attended that, and probably somebody will say
more about it. The part that did--Jean referred to, the STOP Program, a group of
our Committee went to Stony Brook on the 16th of July in the evening and watched a
slide program which goes through the whole operalion of Stop Throwinq Out Pollutants,
which we're hoping to have on September 14th, and wh~en we get a copy of t~iis, which
we spoke to in our planning session this morning, we're hoping to get a copy of that,
we'll have it available for church groups and for garden clubs, ladies clubs, what have
you, and it will move around through the Town. It's a audio type thing, so it has a
narration along with it'll go a long way in spreading the word about our program on
September 14th. That's about it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I also attended the meeting on the U.N. Celebration. The
way that came about was through several people who happened to be representatives
of various non-aligned organizations, which are' members of the U.N. and they felt
that it was a good idea to celebrate some of the go6d things the U.N. has done, not
to characterize it as a debating society and so forth, but just to.emphasize the positive
392
JULY 16, 1985
aspects, the things that the U.N.-,th~ good things the UYN. has done that has gotten
lost in the press of late. As Paul said; we had two Master Plan reviews. Of lot of
interesting questions are- being raised. Why certain things were left out, why certain
things were put in, why certain boards have new roles and how these roles would be
handled with the present manpower. These are all 'questions that we're, going to
hopefully resolve within the next few weeks. It"s my estimate, and maybe'the rest
of the Board wil~'~agree with me, that we should be able to get through the rest of
the Master Plan within two weeks'. We only have about thirsty or forty pages left to
go and at that point we'll meet with the. various boards to discuss the changes and
what we feel should be left out. ! attended the Housin9 Commitl~ee that Jean is the
Chairperson of. We received this'survey for the first time. It did generate a lot of
interesting information and comments. That's one of the reasons I was disappointed
in the outcome of the preliminary poll on the proposed. Costello annexation. There w~r"~
two meetings of the Farmland Preservation Committee. They're at the point now whet
words, offering them the appraised 'amount- for the development rights of their land.
At this point we're going to lype out formal offerings for our.appraised amount for
them to sign. There has been quite a bit of interest. Not every farmer has been
interested, but I would say probably seventy, five percent of the people .that we've
interviewed have been interested, and we expect to get about seventy-five percent
of the offerings back at the appraised price. At that point they are going to present
a list of farms to/be a part of a hearing that the Town Board will'hold. I would hope
this would be within a month. Once that's done then we can fund the ultimate surveys
and'proceed with the acquisition· o,f-.the-development rights. So i think we're through
the half-way point of this anyway; . This'weekend was. very active. There. were a lot
of things going on around Town~-there was the Mattituck Sale Day, which was quite a
circus, at least it was a circus atmosphere. There-was a Sale Day, or an Auction in
Cutchogue, which was amazingly Well attended., ~ Last weekend we had the Lion's~ Club
Auto Show, which is something you should catch if you've not had a. chance to do it.
! know it was. very enjoyable.. That's ali I have.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joe. Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Thank you. The Chamber and. Commerce and Industry
' meetin9 is tomorrow night,, and I've scheduled a Code Committee meeting a week from
tonight on Tuesday. I have a communication to myself as the. Chairman of the Code
Committee from the Board of Trustees on a new Houseboat Law, which !'11 give copies
to everyone so you'll have it 'ahead of the meeting. They seem to have broken it
down between a houseboat and a floating home, and if the press or anyone wants a
copy of it you can have it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. Okay, I'd like to report as the results of
a survey that the HandiCapped AdvisorY. Committee did of public ' beaches in'Southold
Town, with the cooperation of Bruce BloWer, the. Commissioner of Handi-~apped ServiCes
for Suffolk County, Ray. Dean and the Town, we have ramps installed--this'is the first
ever done in Suffolk CountyT-ramps installed down to the high water mark, at two of
our beaches and we also have portable lavatories--toilet facilities--there for the handicapF
We had to go to Connecticut to rent these. We found it was. cheaper than rebuilding
our toilets at the beaches. We would expe~t, and I hope the press gives it some coverag
we have some pictures available for them to ask the people to cooperate. Don't park'
in the handicapped spots, do not destroy these toilet facilities, and we would like
to see as many handicapped people take advantage of the beaches as possible. Also,
the Master Plan meeting that we've all been attending, the joint' meeting will be held
two weeks from today. The planner will'be down to answer the questions that have
been brought up by the Town Board.. We will have the various boards in the Town
also here. It will be held right after our next Town Board meeting. One other _thing,
and poor old Councilman Larry Murdock,~ex~ouncilman Larry Murdock, I'm sorry he's
not here but we're finally getting his road built going through the back here. He
fought for that I guess for four years~ .huh, Bob? And provide better access and
additional parking in the back Of the Town Hall. Our own Town forces are- doing it.~
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I think we should call it Murdock Lane.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number ~, is 'a decision on proposed Local Law No. 11.
Moved by Councilman Schondebare, seconded by. Councilwoman Cochran,
WHEREAS, a proposed Local Law No. -11 - 1985 was introduced at a meeting of this
Board held on the 23rd day of April:. 1985, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held thereon by the Town Board on the 2nd day of
July,..1985, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard
thereon, and specifically addressed the issue of low income housing, which is not
addressed in this proposed Local. Law, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that Local Law. No. 11 -~ '1985. be enacted as follows:
LOCAL LAW. NO. 11 -' 1985
A Local Law to amend the Zonin9 Code
in relation to dwelling unit density
BE IT ENACTED by the Town. Board of the Town of South01d as follows:
(additions indicated by underline; deletions by lb'rackets/).
I. Section 100-.116 of the Zoning. Code of the Town of Southold is'hereby amended
to read as follows:
Section 100-.116. Dwelling unit 'density.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, each dWelling unit in a
' multiple dwelling shall 'hay& [nine/ twenty thousand '[ 9,.000] .20,00.0 square feet

(10,000) square feet of land for each dwelling unit in the building where public
water and public sewer are provided.
11, This Local Law shall take effect upon its filing with the Secretary of State.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any cOmments? Joe?
· COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I think ! speak_for 'the rest of the Town Board. on this
issue. When we were looking at this 'and evaluating the comments made at the hearing
it was determined that the most of the comments related to Iow and moderate .Jrt'come
housing and the interpretation of those people speaking was that this 'law would some-
how reduce the amount of low and' moderate income housing available. I personally
not feel that is the case. If you look at the Zoning Map to see where this property
is located--the property that is not yet developed is in areas that would generate
relatively high priced housing, so it does not relate to low and moderate income /
housing and by reducing the density in these areas you are protecting the environ-.
ment and reducing potential' negative impact along the waterfront and areas like that.
That's why I'm going to. vote for this'Local Law.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any comments?
. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: The only reason I'm. voting for this'resolution as amended
is'that by not. voting for it we Would-'.:l~r(~lude a vote on the annexation itself, which
has not.been formally taken and 1'm hopeful somebody will'see the light between now
and two weeks_from now. ! think it 'weakens the determination in'that it doesn't fully
explain the reasons for allowing any kind of environmental degradation at ali. I_think
it can be challenged on that basis; :but I have no alternative at this point but to go
along with it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to comment? (No response.)

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, that's the end of-our prepared and added-on agenda.
At this time I'd Ilke to ask any Town Boardlmembers. if 'they have' anything'further .
to say? Ray? [Nothing, ~hank you,. Frank,') Jean? ..[Nothing, thank ~Ob~:) Paul?
[No.) Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: yes., on that same is§ue. I think-¥l'm not happy with
what happened today, ! think that we're going to prolong the process at the. very
best we'll prolong the process that Would have resulted in some lower cost housing
and at the very worst we may have eliminated the possibility. Hopefully between
now and the next meeting some Councilmen will reassess their position and go along
with it, That's all I have to say.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay? (Nothing, Frank.) Okay, I have nothing further to
say. is there anyone in the :audience would like to address the Town Board?
GREENPORT VILLAGE TRUSTEE DAVID KAPELL: i'm speaking tonight on behalf
of the Village Board. We have an appointment with you, I understand, and the
subject of that appointment' was to discuss a resolution which was adopted by the
Village Board and forwarded to your Board. concerning the status of zoning of certain
parcels located on the North Road in'the vicinity of Main Street in the unin~:orporated
section of Greenport. Are you ail familiar with the parcels in question and the issue
at hand? You have here four parcels which are-currently zoned "B", which is'the
Light 'Business District in' the Town of Southoid's Zoning Ordinance;
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Would you rather do it in this---
TRUSTEE KAPELL:
you weren't going to meet with us.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We certainly are.
TRUSTEE KAPEI-L: All right,, very good.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We have the appointment with you.
finish the Town Board meeting.
TRUSTEE KAPELL: Oh,
hear from me.

No, don't strike it from the record.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
part of the record?
Would you like to' make your statement then, Dave, as
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Make' your statement as part,of the record then. ContinUe.
TRUSTEE KAPELL: The Village Board'.s~.concern arises ~out of the fact that you have
sites which are zoned for Business development under the Master Plan which is 'pending
-before you. These sites are to be rezo~ned to a lesser business zoning, which Would
allow more intense business development in'three of the sites and perhaps slightly less
in+~ensive business development at the fourth, which is'the Brecknock Hall site. These
sites are between the ~ Village of Greenport and a large section of the population which
the downtown commercial district ~currently serves, being that area east of the Village,
including the hamlet,~ of Orient and'the hamlet of East Marion. What will'happen if
these sites are developed with retail and professional office space is that our commercial
disl~rict will be short circuited from those markets. The Orient residents and the East
Marion residents will'stop at service facilities which will'be located on these sites and
will not come into the downtown business dis~ric~ of Greenport~ whicl~ now relies heavily
on that trade, in addition, there will'be an aesthetic disaster which will 'take place and
compound a.traffic condition which is 'unacceptable at best as it~currer ~y
the sum total is'if the Town Board,~if it 'does not act to correct this'
made years ago with the current designation, let alone worsen itwith th
that are included in the Master Plan, ! think you'll be burying your heads in
I'm disturbed and the Village Board is disturbed that there's been no resp
to the resolution that was forwarded to you and we're here tonight .to find Out what..
.you intend to do. We would lik~ to see some action on it.' At the. very Feast we woUld
like to see a public'hearing scheduled so we can find out how the public'feels about it.
Obviously it's outside our jurisdiction, 'but we feel that these sites and the development
of these sites, which has not yet taken place, will impact severely on our downtown
commercial districl~, and that's what we're here to talk about. If'you'dHke to now sit
down around the table and discuss itTin'an informal way--~-
SUPERVISOR' MURPHY: Is'that your statement?
MR. KAPELL: That is'my statement. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: is there anyone ~ else in ~he~audience Would like to make a
statement? ,(No response.) If not I Would entertain a motion to adjourn.
