Oliva, Justice Louisa P. Evans, Councilman William D. Moore, Town Clerk Judith T. Terry, Town Attorney Laury L. Dowd. Absent: Councilwoman Alice J. Hussie (out of the country). 9:05 A.M. The Town Board met with Richard Principi Jr., owner of North Fork Resources Inc., 8595 Cox Lane, Cutchogue, to discuss Mr. Principi's application for a Salvage Center Permit. Mr. Principi explained that he plans to crush concrete and natural sand-stone to develop products that could be sold and distributed on the North Fork. The operation wilt consist mainly of material screening and separations of gravel and sand from other job sites (i.e. New York City tunnels, discarded concrete from road and sewer projects). Mr. Principi said he is trying to obtain permission from the Long Island Rail Road to use a siding in Southold to bring the materials in and then truck them to Cutchogue. The Board agreed they will seek additional information from the Planning Board, where Mr. Principi has an application for site plan, and begin the SEQRA process at this time (resolutions 28 & 29). 9:40 A.M. - Andy Ruroede and Donald Sayre met with the Board to express their dissatisfaction with the enactment of the Local Law in Relation to Fire Equipment Access which eliminated the provision to keep the surface of the road free from potholes, ruts or other defects. They also felt they did not have adequate opportunity to express their objections prior to the enactment of the law (although every Board of Commissioners in the Town received notice of the public hearing). The Town Board explained that they were not happy about remov,ng the pothole section, but were informed it would be almost impossible to enforce. Therefore, they did not want to hold up enacting the law which ensures that access is at least fifteen feet in width, rather than up to fifteen feet in width. Mr. Ruroede will be informed when the Code Committee sets a date to meet and relook at the pothole question. 9:50 A.M. Norman Reilly, Jr. met with the Town Board to resubmit a long-time request from the Southold Town Fire Chiefs Council for the Town to hire a full-time Fire Marshal, who would have enforcement powers. The 'Town's current part-time Fire Inspector does not have enforcement powers. Mr. Reilly also asked the Town Board to address Emergency Medical Technician re-certification for Police Officers, institute a Hazardous Materials Awareness course, and require the Hazardous Materials placard on appropriate businesses buildings, and to institute a Blood Borne Pathogen Awareness Program. The Board assured Mr. Reilly they would look at the Fire Marshal question, and Supervisor Cochran said she would discuss the other requests with Lieutenant Conway. 10:15 A.M. For discussion items: Town Board reviewed a proposal from Long Island Lighting Company to amend the Street Light Attachment Agreement with regard to missing street light fixtures widen a pole line is moved for road construction or otherwise replaced due to storms or vehicle accidents.

Mrs. Laoudis are former clients.) Councilwoman Oliva advised the Board that she has spoken to the Land Preservation Committee, and they would like to look at the property, and if the Town accepts it, be permitted to develop a management plan. Councilman Townsend said he had spoken to Chairman of the Board of Assessors Scott Russ~ll, who told him the lots would receive a lower assessment amounting to about $150.00 per year per lot if the property goes to the Town. AT 2:55 P.M. Mr. Russell and Senior Planner Valerie Scopaz and Planner Melissa Spiro met with the Board to discuss the proposal.

At this time the Town Board entertains comments from the audience, so if there is anyone who would like to address the Town Board this evening, please, feel free to take the mike. Yes, sir? NICK MARTINSEN:' My name is Nick Martinsen, 1560 Bailey [3each Road, Mattituck. I've been a summer resident here for eighteen years- We have a problem. I was here before the Town Board before. None of you had been on the Town Board at the time I was here. The last time I was here the Supervisor was Mr. Harris. I just came out to look at my property, and I go down to the water, and the barrier fence is half down, and there are vehicles go|ng out on the beach. They are going out on the Town side, and on the Mattltuck Park District. First I inquired, since a contractor is putting in a bulkhead, and is using the Town road to get 'n the barrier, the barrier there, they took it down, does the Town have a permit? Do they ask for a bond? Do they ask for anything? I'm just asking. The road barrier to the beach, they take it down. The guard rail comes down. Because of the storms we've had the people on the eastern side of Bailey Beach Road have put in two bulkheads. Now, the contractor, last year I know, went down there and left the barrier open, and myself, and my neighbor, put the barrier up, and bolted the barrier back into place. I come out this year, the barriers down, and I see vehicles on the beach. Now, the vehicles..you have nothing to do with the park district's property, but you cio have something with the beach east of Bailey Beach Road. The signs are down- There's no parking there JUNE 25, 1996 of Bailey Beach Road. The signs are down. There's no parki~g'-therb from eight to six in the morning, and you need a permit. The Town put a refuse barrel there for people who use the beach. There's these kids, they come down with cars, and they ram the barrels, and they bend the barrels, or they're bending the barrier fence there. They're taking down the signs, because the Police Department don't really do anything for us. They come down, chase them away. There is a sign there, that says, no parking with a permit from the Town of S.outhold. The Police Department should issue the summons, because when it hurts in the pocket they won't be doing it. So we're asking for a tighter police department, better police control. The Police Chief was a very nice guy, Who retired, but when I spoke to him personally about it his answer was, there's always a problem down. at ha]lie Beach Road. Now, for eighteen summers, seventeen summers, we down at the Bailie Beach AssociatiQn down there have to live with this. Now, when I was here before the Town Board the last time, i made a survey, and this was at the end of August from 9:00 P.M. to ~2:'00 at.night, f~om Sunday to Saturday, and there was 850 cars passed my .h'ouse, or passed to get down to the beach. No one .was ever down to ';issUe any summons down there to these people. They .played thei~ radios. They 'throw bottles around, and nothing is done. '~low~ the Po ice Depa.rtment, you ca and ask to speak to the Chief; he .never returns the ca [, so I?.hQpmg when you get a new Pohce Chief, that hell listen' t0iithe,, public; h~re,; :So~ ~l~m asking you. we'd Jike tq nip ,i:t in bud' riaht: ~nbw:'!We~9~ Ilv~di with.: it for seventeen yea:rs': Nbw, the hom~e:s down ~l~i~e '!Wdfe ~Umfiier 15ungalows at one time. I put fdrt¥ ,some .0~ld thousand.ididllai~ ir~to: ~hi~ ho~e; My neighbor put $1~0,d00. ;.My nei~hbor~;iitd th& nb~t~' p~t $35;000. ~-he one nortl~ ~f h'im pul The" 0ne ~(~th 'of me ~ut!in $20,000, and the second house !on tke he pelt fli'$~0~q00, s~;tkle~i are not summer bungal;ows. They,re~ful:!, ti~e bourses, an'd! mois!t:o;f theme;are wmtemzed. It just that :we dpqt.u~e them the wintd~, bu'!, we can 't~;e out here if we please. So, I'rfi aEking. You, please, give u!s some ~ei~f down there. Install more signs~ ~he k~d;s:, I called them, bU~t they're .grown up, they have drivers license. You put the signs Up~ and!Ithey take, tJ~em out. You know why? The Towm doesi not put th~ in ~ement; ~h~y put them in the sand. They hit it wltli a vehicle, take i~ out., and 1hey throw it in the weeds. That's how th.ey do it, so we're asking for pOl~ce protection down there, and we're asking to have the barrier fence. But, I want to inquire, does the contractor have a right to go in to the he,ach? Does I~e have to get permlss.ion from' the Town Board, or what? COUNCILMAN MOORE: You've got a good point there, as far as when a contractor gets a permit to put a bulkhead on. NICK MARTINSEN: You don't issue the permits, I don't think. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Not this Board, the Trustees do. It wouldn't be unreasonable if you are gaining access to take ~ barrier down, but be sure you put it back up. NICK MARTINSEN,: Does the Town have a bond, that they must put up, to get permission from the Town? But, I think that there should be a bond put up for some fee attached to it, that forces them to come back, and put the barrier back up again. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Good idea. NICK NARTINSEN: Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Sir, are you quite certain the barrier was taken down by a contractor? Because the kids are doing this also. Those four wheel drive, they're coming all the way from Riverhead down. NICK MARTINSEN: This ,is east of the inlet. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You've got more that come, and they end on the park district down at.. NICK MARTINSEN: The one on the west of the inlet. JUNE 25, 1996 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We're having a distinct problem there. The Cutchogue Park District found several years, that they nad expensive damage done to some of their property, and what they did was offer a reward, and according to Ray Jacobs and others, that is the only thing that has worked as far as some of the vandalism that is done by young people at the beaches. So, we are very shortly going to be having a meeting. The school approached me first, and said that they would llke to meet,' because not only ~s there the graffiti, but there is the vandalism at all the road ends, and at our beaches also. So, we're going to be looking at different methods. There are some that are the committee that feel that some surveillance cameras can be used ii~ the .worse places, and they feel that they can get them donated. We-would like .to look at a reward for Vand:alism. As far as i'm concerned, as Supervisor, I feel that when any of these young people are caught they will be p~tosecuted. There's a 10t of conlmuntty work that we need done. It,s not the best thing in the World to be emba.rrassed in front of your peers by. having to do menial jobs, but :We're gong to become a little stronger. I support again, because, 't~s 'filthy anguage all w nter long, and the vanda·., ism, so we'rb: going tO' tr;y', and..tighl~en up · on thils. .Meanwhile i ! will call Lieutenant :;Con'wa¥, arid ~e'e if~ we can get some addi,ti,onal :police: patrols up at ~th,e ~ ~nd '~::~f Bailey's~: '~1 will speak with,'r~he ::Su:per~inf~e~dent, .of HighWays, and Si~e if~theire is a better; way that we can put the signs nto the a~rea; ah~1~ it~l~¥1r~u~n.~ovel~ al. th.e barrels .n town.

I heard a comment from the public here. Does .the Town have a rule that no vehicles are allowed on dunes? Is thece a.dane law here? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Isn't there something in the ordinance, that says no dune buggies, and so forth can ride on the beaches? They are breaking down the dunes. NICK MARTINSEN: It's a short beach now. Every storm takes away a lot of sand. I'm also asking that the signs be restored that no dogs allowed on the beach. Usually I call the Highway Department, and they say, it's the summer people. Let me tell you something. It's not the summer people. It's your local resident, you call him a local yokel. That's who it is. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, sir. Yes? JOHN WRIGHT: My name is John Wright. I'm acting president of the North Fork Environmental Council. I'm glad you brought up the problem with the dunes, because the dune bugg'es do tend to break down, not only the dunes, but the nesting area for wildlife. I do want to commend the Board on two of the resolutions, that were passed, one on the pine barrens, which is really a good move, and also on the farm preservation bond issue. I do want to make some comments on behalf of the North Fork Environmental Council, however, on expressing concern over the problem that has been prevalent in the Town of Southold. That is the lack of enforcement of the Town Code. We've become aware of several cases in which an individual or a company operating in the town has not complied with the law, but has suffered no consequences as of yet. As a result the health of our environment is being threatened. As an example, I would first like to point out the Cross Sound Ferry Company has begun alterations to it's Orient Point facilities in order to create a 350 car parking lot. The company is not allowed to do this without receiving formal site plap approval from the Planning Board. Cross Sound has not even submitted an acceptable site plan, but the ground has already been leveled for a new Orient Point parking lot, which will accommodate high speed ferry passengers to Foxwood Casino. We've yet to determine what kind of an environmental stress this project will place on the waterfront, JUNE 25, 1996 or the surrounding groundwater, or the two lane country road, which wit] bear the brunt of a massive increase of through traffic. Now, why has the Town turned the other way, while Cross Sound proceeds with totally unauthorized plans, and not just recently but for a last several years. Another example of zero enforcement came to our attention a couple of weeks ago, when a group of citizens from Broadwaters Cove appeared before the Planning Board, and they complained that a neighbor had quickly turned a small residential type marina into a full scale marina operation, which is changing the entire character of the cove. Again, no site plan was submitted by the owner of the marina for the boat storage, but has proceeded with the plans at will. The Town has brought him into court for non-compliance, but the damage has already been done. It's a little bit more of too little, too late. A third example would be the situation, at an establishment i~ Greenport called Club Wave. Last year the owner illegally rented jet skies for the use on the premises, and suffered no consequences. This year he is expanding his facilities without site plan approval. The Town Attorney claims that the town would like to bring him into court on these violations, because he lives in C~ueens he can not be served with papers, and we wonder if the town is really serious about it's enf0rCel~ent efforts, or is this a way Of just making it a little bit easier to '~aCk down in the face of a violations, and hope no one will notice. The fourth one has come to mind fairer recently, although it has been brought up over a period of time and that is Cuccina restaurant on the North Road. Apparently he is going to have a food stand in his parking lot. As far as I'm concerned, that's a violation of the drive~in laws. At the North Fork Environmental Council we've been in¥olved in a[~other issue, and we all remember it. It's cai'led MacDonatds problem. 'The town violated it's own laws, and brought a lawsuit but our case was thrown out on a technical grounds; We understand that you'~/e made an attempt to address these types of problems by hiring someone responsible for enforcing the Code, but to ,our knowledge the individual merely reports the violations, and nothing, or little is dqne with them. We would like to ask the members of the Town Board, what is the point of having a Town Code, if businesses and residents are not required to follow it. We ask that you make a concerted effort to end what has become a casual approach to law enforcement in the Town of Southold, and our safety, and our quality 'to life are at risk. Just to highlight the seriousness of this issue, please, consider this. On May 6th of tills yeari'the FAA found over 100 problems in the operation of Valuejet Airlines, .and did nothing, and five days later 110 people were dead. Ironically FAA inspectors in the field had recommended that Valuejet certification be reevaluated, an action which would temporarily grounded the airline, and save 110 lives. Your job as elected officials is to protect the health ~nd welfare of our citizens. We are asking that you do this even when it is difficult to do so. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you for your comment. Laury maybe you can comment on this? COUNCILMAN MOORE: That was a pretty wide sweep of four specifics. Do you just a thumb nail sketch of what is going on in each of those? TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: Three of the four cases to which you referred are currently pending in front of the courts. Cross Sound Ferry has been in front of the courts since last August, and we will using all our legal remedies available to attempt to reach a solution. You have to recognize that the court system is not always as fast as you want, but as they say, grind slow, but it grinds very fine, so, eventually we will reach a resolution of it. Broadwaters Cove, again, a violation has been issued. The person is due in court, and at that time we are going to be moving and pushing towards getting compliance with the Code in terms of getting a site plan. Cuccina restaurant, again, a citation has been issued. They are going to be coming to court. The issue is not yet in front of anybody as to whether or not that is a permitted use in that zone. At this point, we are just trying to get them Lo come into the Building Department to get a Building Permit, and describe the use, so that we can adequately assess whether or not it's an appropriate use in the zone. Club Wave, we~ve been keeping an eye on it, but as far as all my information is that it has not expanded- Jt is not at all the same operation it was last year. At this point it is just a restaurant, which the site plan approval does allow, but we are keeping an eye on it, and if JUNE 25, 1996 it should expand beyond that, we certain intend to use all the remedies available to us in the law. So, we are aware of all these situations, and we are working towards achieving compliance with the Code. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Laury. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Board? TOM SAMUELS: Tom Samuels from Cutchogue. There is a permit system for using the end of road to get on the beach in Which the contractor fills out an application, encloses a certified check, or a bond, and has to supply the town with an insurance certificate. I believe it is a two million dollar~ general liab|llty policy, and the Highway Department is militant in enforcing~ that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Who do you file this with, Tom, the Trustee? TOM SAMUELS: The Highway Department. The Highway Department is responsible for the end of the roads. It's been ira effect for about three years, and I believe it's very affective, because when you leave a certified check for a thousand bucks to the Highway Department. You want it back. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. like to address the Board? Is there anyone else that would HOWARD MIENKE: My name is Howard Mienke from Cutchogue. I was just wondering, isn't there such a thing as stop work. If they are scrapping and making a parking lot, and haven't filed a site plan, and go for the permits, can't you plaster a stop work on the property, and then they are in trouble and fined for every day that they work, and things of that sort. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: This is under the jurisdiction of the Planning Board., and Laury perhaps you could answer that. TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: It's my understanding that this work, whatever work is being done on that residential property, is not being done to create it as a parking lot. What they say is preparation work on a residential piece of property, to level it off for a possible future development. There is no intention of the Town Board, or the Town to allow this to used as a parking lot until the appropriate permits. HOWARD MIENKE: Do they have a permit to do what they're doing, driving the bulldozer around? TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: We don't require a permit just to level out property. HOWARD MIENKE: Remedies of that sort are, i~] my experience available in other places. The way it's written here there are places where you can't cut down the trees, and level the ground unless you have filed a plan with a schedule of work that this is aimed for- Otherwise it leads to illegal gravel mining, and sand stealing, and top soil stealing, and all the rest of it. So, if we don't have that, we should have it with it. It would serve to stop this sort of thing from i~appening. Thank you. VIOLET ROMERIL: Violet Romerll from Nassau Point. We're very concerned about Broadwaters Cove Marina, and it's environmental impact on Broadwaters Cove and Haywaters Cove. Mr. Zito has not complied with the Town Laws, and we are very hopeful that you can see that the Town Laws are complied with. He is affecting the life and the prospect of happiness for many people in that area. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. DEBBIE SABOSKIS: Debbie Saboskis from Mattltuck. I'd llke to know how I go about getting no parking signs along the beach. I know last year the Town had issued permission for a whole bunch of no parking signs, and we're t~aving a terrible problem at Veteran's Memorial on Peconic Bay Boulevard in Mattituck. When I mean a terrible problem there with the parking on the street. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That's Mattituck Park District property, and you are talking about the road end, that ends adjacent? DEBBIE SABOSKIS: Not Bay Avenue. You don't t~ave much of a problem with parking there, but Peconic Bay Boulevard. They park outside the beach, and walk in. The beach this weekend I felt like I was at Jones Beach. We were on top of one another. I know that they are not all from around here. I mean, you go to that beach every year for thirty years you get to know people, and the new people coming in. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Does the Mattituck Park District have a gate attendant? DEBBIE SABOSKIS: Yes. There's a gate and a gate attendant, but there's an opening on the western end, you know, a walk through opening, where there is no one, and that's into the picnic area, and sometimes that gate is open, so cars can get through for an organized function (tape change.) SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The Town Attorney will check. It may already be in the Code, because they take down the signs as fast as Mr. Jacobs puts them up. DEBBIE SABOSKIS: I don't ttlink signs were ever up there. I'm like 99% sure that there were never any there. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Okay. Thank you. Anyone else? FREDDIE WAXBERGER: Freddie Waxberger. ! feel the need to revisit this Cross Sound issue. I wasn't coming actually to make any comments tonight, but the dispersal of responsibility on so many different boards of the town, the relationship to whether one can put a stop work order, or enforce the laws that you're not supposed to be clearing residential land with bulldozers, or any of these things, always seems to be an avoidance of responsibility in any central place. What we feel is that this is a huge issue, because it involves not only the residential piece, but what we have heard in the papers about future plans, attempts of additional casinos, and casinos building additional boats, and the fast commuting train between New London and Boston via Amtrak, and the fact that at the moment there is no other port which will service any of this future development, and that the fact ti~at in court the Town has not, at least so far as full disclosure, future plans. The fact that the coastal management issue,, which is DEC, Which is State and Federal, as well as Town, and the fact that the traffic involves the DMT as well, and the fact that this town has never taken tt~e initiate to bring together the State, and the Federal issues, and that all of the Boards, the Zoning Board, and the Planning Board, and the Town Board, to create some kind of a unified short term and long term policy with involvement of local residents, input from local residents seems to me a tunnel, avoidance, and incredible immersion in the face of what is going to be a very serious threat to the . law being in Southold Town, and every time I hear somebody say, well, that's the Planning Board, or that's the Zoning Board, OF that's the Department of Transportation, or well, that's the DEC, they'll hear about, you know, because we'll publish that. No effort to get everybody to come together and sit down, and say, well, okay, what are the limits that we can handle here? How are we going to approach getting other terminals? How much traffic are we willing to handle in Southold Town? How can we draw on State Laws, and Federal Laws, and assistance from the DOT on the DEC to assist us, Southold Town, in defining these guidelines? How can we keep the erosion of the coast from going on when we're not even looking? We have not seen anything to indicate that the Town is taking that kind of initiative to confront this problem, and until it does it will simply be inertia to the JUN 2s, 996 benefit of a Connecticut multlmillion dollar privately owned company to the detriment of the citizens of Southold Town, and we really urge you to take a grip here. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Councilman ,Townsend? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: We understand your concern, and to a degree we share your concern of this lack of inertia, and so forth. We met with the Planning Board, the Town Council, but the Council that is working with the Planning Board on this, and many of the issues, that you just mentioned, or touched upon. It was in Executive Session, because it is litigation, and we can't go into the details, but we are trying to coordinate our departments together, Zoning Board, and Planning Board, so that we can deal with the issue in a legal and orderly fashion. In the past we may not have been as attentive to that area, as we should have been, but now we're trying to correct that. We're trying not to make any mistakes, and to do it properly. Everybody t~as rights, and every business should have it's limitations based on the property. We're all aware of that, and we're working on it. We're sorry if it appears as though nothing is happening, and we're not proceeding aggressively, but I think we are, at this point, doing the best that we can. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Joe. would like to address the Board? Is there anyone else that CAROLYN WRIGHT: Carolyn Wright, Mattituck. I hadn't planned on saying anything tonight, but I'd like to go back to what the gentlemen first said about Baille Beach, and there was general conversation before the meeting, as you remember, about problems with accidents and everything else. You said you were going to speak to Lieutenant Conway. The drag racing that goes on, especially when there's a game at the Mattituck Yacht Club ball field, it's incredible, and it goes on constantly. I mean, the other night it was motorcycles, two of them had an accident on the corner of Bray and Peconic Bay Boulevard. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and the only thing that was broken was the headlights. BUt, the police don't do anything about it. We have a neighbor who is a summer person. She is very tenacious. She is very persistent. They probably hate her. She called them all summer last summer about the drag racing, and essentially she was told they couldn't help here, go away. I think they could do, at this point, a little bit more in the way of not putting out the brush fires after something has happened, but they could do a little preventative work. That road is very windy. If you are out for a walk, and don't know the summer people out here, there's a lot of people out with baby carriages, and what have you, and I've seen them go past doing a good sixty, sixty-five miles an hour, which is kind of a neat feat on that road anyway. But, they could do more in the way of prevention. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Officer t'irelli? VINNY TIRELLI,. JR.: Vinnie Tirelli, Southold Town PBA. I wasn't going to speak. As far as the problem on the Boulevard, I worked Mattituck full-time for two years. One of my favorite things to do is sit on the Boulevard during softball season, and run radar, and you're right. They come through there at sixty. I've had them at 7~1 right by Bray Avenue. Unfortunately, if you ever read the papers, since we took over Greenport we are desperately understaffed. There used to be two cars in Mattltuck at any given time. Since the takeover in Greenport I don't recall of any instance when there have been two cars in Mattituck. Once the shortage is taken care of, I'm sure that we can get back to do that. Actually setting a car up on the Boulevard, or at some of the other trouble spots. I know you're working on hiring. Hopefully you'll get more than you're planning on now. In the future for the next summer I see a significant increase in our activities, but right now when you are working with four cars to cover the entire town, radar on a weekend, or even on a week night is what I would consider a luxury, if I have fifteen minutes to sit down with radar, and write a ticket or two. It's a lot of time. I consider it a waste of time. I could be patrolling, but because I have to be out there preventing stuff, radar takes a back seat. Thank you. JUNE 25, 1996 463 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: llke to address the Board? road, too. Thank you. Yes. ma'am? Is there anyone else that would I know you have racing on your MARY RAKAUSKAS: One of these days I'm going to put a speed bump in. First of all I want to thank Judy Terry and her staff. I made a nuisance of myself this morning trying to dredge up the petition that was generated and s~nt, I gather, to the Board that related to the traffic light at Route 118 and Horton's Lane, and apparently it was done around September 1, 1992, and over 250 people had signed this petition requesting a light being installed. Now, I know that you mentioned outside when we were in the anteroom, that you are trying to get LILCO to move a little faster. Sometime it's extremely difficult, but is it possible to get a commitment from them, apart from getting their CEO, and planting him at the corner directing traffic. SUPERVISOR C~CHRAN: When I went up to tt~e Department of Public Works in the County, and we discussed getting the light once and for all, they had said thlat, well, some we put up in the fall, and some we put up in the spring, and I said, well, t would prefer if you did ours in the spring, and thet said, okay, Jean, we'll work to do yours in the spring. They started doing their part of the work, and the LILCO was contacted, and find that high tension wires have to moved. Now, Mr. LaValle was he,e for the conference we had on Goldsmith's Inlet last week, so I h~ a lot of time to chat with t~im back and forth, and evidently it ta s a few weeks for LILCO to cut the orders, and make all of this happen. There's a gentleman that lives in town, that does know the President of LILCO, and had the opportunity to ask him if he would, please, call and see if we could get our orders moved up a little faster through ~he process, because we keep having accidents, and we have been luck~ that we haven't had deaths up there, but we have had deaths through Ithe years, people being killed there, but just recently it's been accidents. It's a wide open corner, but for some reason, don't know if very bad cross had any succe We're working that we get ph highway. Judy them, and peopl eople try to beat the cross traffic or what, it's a very, ~g, and so I'm going to check tomorrow, and see if we've ~ in maybe getting our permit moved up a little faster. n it continually, because it's one of the constant things one calls from people in the area that have to use that ets them. My office gets them. The Police Department gets are truly concerned, and we are, too. MARY RAKAUSKAS: I know the most recent incident was the Friday before last, two people were in an accident. It does seem, insane is the only word ~ ca~n think of, that they haven't done something about it. Since 19927 TOWN CLERK They refused to SUPERVISOR C Lane, that has you read the r so forth, it's r the power of th~ MARY RAKAUS the cellar, too. ERRY: Back then they said they felt we didn't need it. do it. DCHRAN: We have a gentleman that ives on Hortons do~:umented everything since the beginning of time, and if .~ports through the years of the accidents, and so on and eally frightening. So we wilt continue to do everything in Supervlsor's Office to move this as quickly as we can. kS: That would be dandy. Thank the lady down ~n SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It's always a pleasure to do business with our Town Clerk. Stye pleases the majority of the people that come into Town Hall for service-- Is there anyone else? Yes, Mr. Tirelii? VINNY TIRELLI, SR.: Vinnie Tirelli, Sr. On the Animal League, one of the last meetings you asked for an audit for them to show their books on everything in the audit, and what's happened with the fact that they didn't accept those 150 checks? Is there any progress? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I believe there has been some court action taken by that group. VINNIE TIRELLI. SR.: I know that. but didrdt.. JUNE 25, 1996 COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: We didn't ask for an audit. We asked for' their financial breakdown. VINNIE TIRELLI, SR.: That's what I mean, and they haven't come up with it. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: They gave us one, but we were not pleased with it._ They are hopefully preparing another one for our perusal, that hopefully will be acceptable. VINNIE TIRELLI, SR.: That will be after July, after the vote on the new Board. In other words, nothing is happening. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: like to see them. They are not moving as quickly as we would COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Unfortunately, Mr. Tirelli, the only thing we have to go on, as far as the Town Board, is the contract, and the services, and the amount of money that we give them. We have nothing to do with the membership. That is completely without our jurisdiction. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there anyone else that would like to address the Board? RONNIE WACKER: Ronnie Wacker from Cutchogue. I just wanted to go back to Mr. Mienke's suggestion, that if someone is not performing that the Town has asked them to perform, that a cease work order be given, and in the case of the Broadwater's Cove Marina last fall Mr. Vito had asked for permission to store boats upland, and the Planning Board' had said, well, this very often changes the character of the area, and so we would ask to have a site plan. Now, he has put the boats on land anyway, and t think this might an instance we could check on that, and say, well, take them off until you have the perm'ssion to do it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We will check and see if there is a violation. Thank you. Is there anyone else? If not, 1'11 ask the Board members if they have anything to report, and I'll start on my left with Mr. Townsend. Joe, is there anything you'd like to share? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Not right now, thanks. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Mrs. Oliva? COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Yes. I think I spoke to you two weeks ago about having a workshop with the Department of State about the erosion problems from Duck Pond Point to Horton Point. We had that workshop Wednesday and Thursday, and it was really so well attended, it was just a joy. We had people here from the Department of State. We had three experts on coastal erosion from the University of Florida, the University of South Carolina, the University of Maryland. We had representatives here from Senator LaValle's Office, Assemblywoman Acampora's Office, the County Exec's Office, from the DEC, from the Department of Public Works, our Supervisor was here for all the meetings, and it was really an extremely informative and well-done workshop. We walked the beach. We saw the problems there. We had a very good and informative public informational meeting on Wednesday night, where we heard some very good comments from people, both on the east side of Kenny's Beach, and Goldsmith's Inlet, and also, from the people to the west side of Goldsmith's Inlet. The three experts that we have, have come up with some interesting suggestions. These will be made public in the form of a report. Probably in about six weeks when we will have another informational meeting for those reports to be presented, and then the Department of State will present the reports to the Town Board the next day. So, it was really quite illuminating, and I think the suggestions were quite innovative, and interesting, so I am looking forward to their report, as I think we all are. Thank you. FREDDIE WAXBERGER: Can I -just ask a question? Why can't you do something similar to the Point, for the Point. for the ferry terminal? Can you not do something, llke you described, can you not do that for the Point? JUNE 25, 1996 465 COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: 'That's two different things. There is no businesses concerned here, Freddie. This is strictly an erosion problem. FREDDIE WAXBERGER: They are the same problems of all those same interests. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: It's with commercial properties, too. I mean, I understand your point. You mean getting all the different players together. I understand what you're saying. JIM BITSES: Can I have the last word? As for the ferry, if they say big money, and big money talks, and they're going to step on you. As for moving soil around their parking lot, they have a right to under Section 81, I believe, Town Code, you can move top soil. As long as they don't bring in soil without a permit, or take out soil without a permit or change the drainage lines to the detriment of their neighbors. That's what the law says. Of course, it's never enforced in this town, particularly by the Trustees. But anyway that's another story. The point is, we have a problem. We have a canker sore, the Animal S'helter. Somebody mentioned that there ape all sorts of departments. Nobody seems to make any decisions. I call to their attention, Mussolini used to make decisions; and in fact if you want a dictatorship you'll get lots of decis]bns, but in a democracy you have the checks and balances, and tryin9 .to push something through a democracy is like trying to push a marshmallow through a keyhole. In any event, the democracy preserves itself, and protects itself by this separation in various fields. Basic rule, elected people stay elected enough to make decisions, not to stick their neck, and not to alienate people. In short, try to nothing. Their job is to be re-elected, and I can understand that, and that's the way it should be, and I'm whO.ieheartedly in favor. These problems will not be addressed because there is no dictator in this town to say, it will 'be this way and that way. For instance, we have people standing up, who own houses along the waterfront, and have access to the beach, complai~ning abou,t the fact, that the rest of the population behind them is funneledl down the road, on to the beach in that area, and is doing various things, nQthing in trash bins, things of that sort. Things that I used to do when I was a kid. But anyway, the point is, what we have, sadly, is the consequences of some very bad policy in this town for the last thirty or forty years. When we had an opportunity to buy waterfront, or to be given waterfront, we looked the other way. Why? Because waterfront is so expensive, that only the people with the money made the decisions. They voted with their dollars, and they bought the waterfront, and now there is no access for the r-est of the population, and what is peculiar about all this is that Teddy Laoudis, Angel Shores, he want to give you waterfront, and you are giving his a hard time. There's a guy named Jim Bitses, myself, I offered this town waterfront. They said, we don't want it. I would imagine that this town would jump at the opportunity to get waterfront anywhere, because the entire waterfront has already been preempted, so it behooves the Town to make every effort to create greater facilities for the public, that is barred from use of the beach, simply because of the almighty dollar. That's not what I'm here to talk about. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Are you going to bring this to a conclusion, because you did have the opportunity earlier to address the Board? That was completed. No one else stood, and wanted to address the Board. ! started to call for reports from the Board, which is the finai action of this evening's meeting. I am accepting this from you, Jim, but I would like you to make a point, and not go on for the next ten minutes. Also, the land that you offered to the Town, I believe that you offered it looking for something in return. Is that correct? JIM BITSES: No. The last offer I gave you was an outright grant. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: And the property Laoudis has offered to the town, we are investigating it. It would be the first time that this k~nd of gift has been given to the town, so we are being very cautious in setting a precedent. So, we're looking at this very carefully. We haven't said, no, yet. JUNE 25, 1996 JIM BITSES: What kind of precedent would you be setting when somebody is going to give you beach front? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: If you would like to make an appointment, and come into my office, I will explain it to you, and please, make your point. JIM BITSES: I'm here to talk about the deplorable conditions at the Animal Shelter. It's six people using strong arm tactics by denying public participation, by taking control of the Board, in order to assure their continued control. They are now admitting members, but these members are being admitted within the time they are barred from voting. They're cute, these people. They're admitting members at a time when ,they can not vote in the next election theoretically to take place on July 31st. To vote .you halve to be a member for ninety days, and they started to take :the applications' on the 89th day. In any event; they are still refusing to admit you, M~dame Supervisor, Alice Hussie, and :~156 other people who' have sent in their $10.00 checks. They still refuse to accept them because these people will be eligible to vote having submit~ted their applications before the ninety day period began. Now, there are consequences to barring the pUblic front the North Fork .Animal Welfare League, and these ¢0nsequences are implicit in the contract tl~at the League made with the Towi~i, The Town knows full well, that the: $118~000 fee for opera is insufficient to run that shelter',, and the Town has aiwa, ~pon a wide spread public membership to raise the additional ft necessary for all sorts of efforts~ Not only to raj'se the f~ to increase public participation, noir only to increase public but to get people to adopt the animals in the SHelter. :rs came ~n, and humanized the animals. -What has happened that because six people using strong arm tactics have bro~ the public, have brought all the benefits, of public partic,!pation, th? le will now, I am positive, come before this Boarc~ in the r~ar ful~u "and say, $118,000 is not enough. But, what they :~vill not tel Y~u S we used' to cover that shortfall by public partici~at'on, Which w~ have barred so we can control this organization by six 'v~tes~ In any ~vent', that's one of the things. Another of the probal~'ilities.. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: J~m. can we bring it to a conclusion? JIM B1TSES: Alright, we'll bring it to a conclusion. Your contract with the North FOrk Animal Welfare League is with a public organization. It was not Written in the contract. It was implicit. You ignored that implicit part of the contract. You have not lifted a fin~er to assist the public particl.patlon in the North Fork Animal Welfare League. You have managed to sit back and avoid any confrontation with. anybody. Part of the problem is the inertia of this Board. There was a time when you just said, implicit in this contract is a public organization. Six people do not constitute a public organization, especially when they 'nsist they are not a public organization, they are a private organization, a pi~ivate organization, the consequences of which are lack of support by the public, lack of money fr, om the public, lack of proper control, lack of proper usage of the facilities, lack of the maintenance of the animals. The animals are literally in solitary confinement, because they do not have any access to human beings. In any event, to get to a conclusion, I would suggest that you kook at their telephone logs. These telephone calls that they are making are being paid for by public funds. It behooves this Board to examine their telephone togs to whether any private phone calls have been made, and if they have, I don't know if they have or not, but if they have then the proper authorities should be consulted. Basically, the contract you have with this group is a voidable contract, because of the material alteration of one of the parties. It was a public organization when you signed it. It is a private organization now. That's a material alteration which is having an affect on the animals, and I would call the' attention of the Town Attorney lo the fact that under circumstances this contract ~s voidable. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Councilman Moore? COUNCILMAN MOORE: I will just make one quick comment. It has nothing to do with anything you just said. This is totally non-secular I'm sorry, Mr. Bitses, I'm going to change gears completely. That is that next week is the Fourth of July holiday week, and we've heard from our Police Officer Tirelli telling us the shortage we have of manpower. I urge you all to enjoy your Fourth of July, celebrate the birthday, but do so with some degree of consideration for your neighbors as you race up and down the road, or as you turn your music up, and have a good party next Thursday, please, exercise some self restrain, and not rely necessarily upon great police force. Be considerate of your neighbor as you enjoy the holiday next week. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Louisa? Nothing to report at this time? I have some things I would like to share with you. First, I would like to officially, formally, thank those that helped us build the booth, that is now up to Town Beach. We had what we call rather than a barn raising, a booth . raising, and through volunteers efforts, Jamie Ri~:hter, Pep Cochran, Bill Moore, George Long, Jim McMahan, Dave Robinson, Jim King, Rud¥ Bruer, Gall Marrrlner-Smith, and myself. We watched, Gall and I, but the men did the work. They raised this building which made so that it can be removed each winter because of vandalism. It will be moved back to the Highway Department. The inside has to be finished off. We have the racks boarded for putting tourist information inside, so it wilt .serve a dual purpose. It will be for tourist information along the North Read~ of which we have nothing, and it will serve, also, as the attendant bootl~. Se, we're quite pleased with it, and did have the Girl Scouts up the~e last week, Ruth and I, and they planted the flower beds up there. So, Town Beach does look nice. There are also going to do or some of our community service young people have planting , and will also be dbing some planting down to Gull h. ad the privi ege of going up to San SimeOn on Sunday, and ~.rese~ti:ng~~'a proclamation from this T~n Boa~d to' M~rge Strat0; Who c~lebtTa~e(] her 100 years. This is a wo~en who: has had ful hfe., She spent s~ years m a concentration camp ~n the S~wet Un on away from her,'.~:hild~en. .Her family was there. It gav!~ me a g~at d~ai of pleasure to be abte ,to shat~e this time with her. As R~th repo~t~ed we had the meeting on GOldsmith's Inlet. I found it, as Ruth did, reW~Fding; and productive. I think, it's the first time that we've had people of this caliber together to I.ook at the problem. They did come ~up with a so utlon,. :~hich I. ~think might please all those on both sides of the jetty. ~onsideratio~ has been given to the people along the entire shore. t's not 'ust to ease people in the area. t's an erosion problem that we have had on the Soun~ for many, many years, s~nce t~at je;tty. That certainly helped cause in ,greater depth. We have gel to begin [b look at some of our shoreline, because it is eroded, so we can do what we can to preserve the bluffs and t~he beaches along the Sound. So, th!~ is a pa.rt of that partic~alar cell from the jetty to Horton's Point, tha't~ theY be having recommendations on. Ruth you said six weeks, but Ridler said possibly in two weeks he would llke to come in. I,t will take longer? Okay. Once they have the final report it will be available. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Maybe for July 5th and 6th. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It will be available to the public, and we will be receiving the report at a Board meeting- ~t is long overdue. This has been discussed by many, many Town Boards, and hopefully this Town Board will take corrective action. I, also, had the opportunity to attend the Long Island Wine Council. They had a Maritime Red Wine seminar here in Southold for two days this past week. They had people from around the world. They had people from Canada. They had people from along the East Coast, and they met for two days, and talked about tennins, and I had to ask, what is a tennln, because I certainly didn't know, but it is i~ the skin of a red wine, and it's what gives red wine that special taste. So, I tried to learn a little bit about tennins. I was invited to their dinner, and I met a et o¢ nice people. ~ knew some of the wine owners in Southold. I had the opportunity to ~ee't many more, and they have offered assistance in working with the Town Board in any way they can, if there is ever anything that comes along as far as their business is concerned. It was, also, co-hosted by the Long Island Farm Bureau, and the East End Economic Environmental Institute. Also, I served as a member of the New York State Historic Maritime Commission with Bernadette Castro, and the Secretary of State, and they are going to be touring the sites in the Town of Southold, the sites that have been selected to work into this maritime trail. It's Mattituck Inlet, Oyster 46S JUNE 25, 1996 Bernadette Castro, and the Secretary of State, and they are going to be touring the sites in the Town of Southold, the sites that have been selected to work into this maritime trail. It's Mattituck Inlet, Oyster Ponds and Greenport. So, they will be touring. They will be coming out by bus, and touring this site, as they will, on different days, Island City, and the Port Jeff, and wherever along the Sound these sites have been selected. I'm sorry some of the Orient people left, because I'm going to get some of them involved, because at each: of these sites they would like to have people from the area to chat with them, and get the|r opinions and some input. I'm working with Mayor Kapelt. tie will be taking care of 'the Greenport area, and I will be taking care of Oysterponds, and Mattituck. I also had the opportunity ~to go to. Greenport, and have coffee, Lieutenant Conway, and mysel.f, with B.I.D,, which is the business district in the Village of Greenport, so they would have' the opportunity for input, and working together-, and they are doing some fine things for promotion in the Village of Greenport. It's been busy over and above the mall that comes across the desk, and the many telephone calls, and planning, and the ~rork,ithat I do from day to day. Also, I had the opportunity to go to Oysterpends, and 1 wou'td like to -wish them Happy Birthday once again. They: ..have ; just celebrated their thirtieth' birthday of the school, in that area. Last I woluld like to Share with ybu,,that I volunteered to take a dunking at the Strawberry Festival. It was for ,young. people:', so I Said what the beck.' So, :1 went up there, and it was ti~e for me to get up on this little plat.~0rm with this tank of water: beneath me, and the fellow that Bid, bici fifty dollars, and I said, well,~ thatJ~s not too bad, it's going to t~h~e ki¢ I can live with this, and he Ib0ked at me, and he said, yo~u my sidewalk. Be lives between here a;nd the chur'ch, and .~r one of the many snowstorms, the~:school kids wer, e hay the road, and. the sldeWaiksJ;l"ha~n'~ been shoveled along e Whole area, and we talked about going, alDd: i'Ssuing a summbns becaus~ w~ I~aVe a town law that you have tct!I 'clean your s dewalks n th s area, and ra:ther give a citation, I s~ d..rle 'me call, and see ~f I can have everyone do it. I made al the phone ca.lis, and everyone said, sure, Jean, we'!il go out and do it, and I was thankful, and it was an easy. way of~trying to work with your neghborS, ahd get the j~b done. So~ he looked at'me, and he said, you made me :Shovel my sidewalk, and oi~ the first' b~ll he hit the target, and I went: down, and I don't' think it's anything you are ever ready for, because I think I drank half the tank..I cJo6't think I'll be so quick to volunteer the next time, but in this job you have some fun things. It's a lot of hard. Work. I attend as many; functions as I can, because I think it's imp0mtant. I think people m~tter. I think people are number one on the' list, and I'd like to thank you I~or having good attenciance at the Board meetln§s. Please, come back. We appreciate your input, and your comments, and look forward to you joining us again. So, on behalf of the Bo~l~d; good evening, and meeting a'djourned.
