William D. Moore. (out of town).
This Town Board meeting was scheduled for January 9, 1996, but was postponed
due to blizzard weather conditions, over the past few days.
1:00 P.M. - Councilwoman Hussie reviewed with the Board the next steps required
for landfill closure, time constraints and consulting engineering firms, which subjects
were discussed at the recent Solid Waste Task Force meeting. Timing: The DEC
stipulation agreement allows the Town 45 days from the date of the DEC acceptance
of the Landfill Closure Investigation Work Plan to implement the plan, and then 150
days to do the work. The Task Force Technical Committee suggests that now is
the appropriate time to seek requests for proposals for all of the remaining work
to be done up to act.ual capping of the landfill. The Board is in receipt of
correspondence from Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers with a breakdown
of the services they have provided to date, and proposed continuing services. The
Board agreed they would inVite Tom Maher of D&B to meet with them at their
January 23rd meeting to discuss their proposal.---Solid Waste Coordinator James
Bunchuck was present during much of the foregoing discussion.
1:25 P.M. - Justice Evans and Solid Waste Coordinator Bunchuck brought the Town
Board up to date on the status of the excavation of the Fishers Island Metal Dump.
It is estimated the contractor~ ESNA, Tri-S Inc. Division, has three weeks work
left for completion, andl they are behind schedule as it is. This unanticipated delay
will make it necessary .for the Town's representative, Edward Capobianco, to
continue on at Fishers island, at an additional cost to the Town. The Board agreed
a letter, drafted by .the TOwn AttOrney, should be sent to the contractor directing
him to be ready to complete the job as soon as the weather breaks, and to contact
the Fishers Island Ferry District to be certain they can accommodate him.
I :35 P.M. - CouncilWOman Hussie discussed with the Board the Draft Environmental
impact Statement recent!y received with regard to the proposed Finfish Aquaculture
Project for the production of Summer Flounder on Greenport Village property at
Clark's Beach, Greenport. This property is located within the Town of Southoid
and will require a Chan~ge of zone from R-80 to Marine II for the aquaculture project
to comply with the Zon.ng Code. Town Trustee James King was in the audience and
expressed his objection to the proposal. The Board members agreed to review the
DEIS and discuss this again at the January 23rd work session.

with the bu,.
th' "
IS meeting we
at ~t:30, because
early.
We had a busy schedule this afternoon, working
town. We had the meeting scheduled at one, and
7:30 tonight, but we scheduled it
and it will be good to get people home
icting more snow. I think we have enough now, but
we have no choice in' the matter, so we'll take what comes. Before we go
into resolutions, I would like to ask if there's anyone in the audience,
th ' ....
,at would' like to ~peak :m relabonship to any of the resolutions? You
will have,the .opportUnity later on to speak in general to the! ToWn Board,
but at this point its for any resolubons on the agenda. Mr~ Siegmann?
ED .S, IE.C;,MANN: There"s resolution number 9, where they're going put a
traffic light at:: AldriCh~ Lane in Mattituck.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN.' A street light.
ED SIEGMANN: Sorry, I thought it was a traffic light.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: . May I say,~ Ed, that the Board had some
questions on this, also, so this the one resolution that we're holding
today.
ED SIEGMANN: I don~t have any arguments about putting the light
there, but when I thought it was a traffic light I was wondering why after
we put 1,700 signature one time for a traffic light in front of the ASP
center, and then the traffic department said, there was not enough
people, I guess, getting killed there to put up a light, so they printed
lines in there, instead of putting up a light. If there's one place that
this town needs a traffic light, it's in front of that A&P shopping
center. You have a lot less problems of getting in and out of there, if
they' had a light, where the light would stop the traffic. They don't
necessarily need it right by th.e shopping center, but if t. hey would put it
on a cross s.t. reet, where {he ice cream place is there, it ~vould at least
stop the traffic te give People every so often a chance to come out.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN.' I think I was serving on the Board at the time,
we investigated more than once, both CutohOgue, and A&P, because of the
traffic conditions, in that. area, and I think we were told at the time, and
Judy just reminded me, that this is what went through my head; was that
the owner or-the property would have to be responsible for putting the
light up. Do you remember that?
ED SIECMANN: .T. hat is what the letter said, and I still have a copy of
that letter. It sa~d tha(~the owner would have to pay for the light, but
if it were put on the corner, where, the ice cream place is, which is a
cross street, and the Owners a~en't involved in it. at all. The one just
before you get down to the shopping center for..Eugene's Road, who paid
for that? I'm sure that was put in by the traffic department.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: By the State.
ED SI EGMANN: So, if they can put one there, they can put one in the
cross street down by A&P.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Why don't we put this on the agenda for next
week's meeting, the-next Board meeting on the 23rd, and the Town
Board can discuss this possibility, and perhaps it's time to approach the
State again, and see the feasibility of a traffic light in that area.
JANUARY 10, 1996
ED SIEGMANN:

No, I think we can take the initiative, and
investi~, will. That's the only resolution, that we are
holding, but s there any other comment on a. ny of the other resolutions.
