47,41 APRIL 15, 1997
JUSTICE EVANS: On the scope the bond amount is for $~00,000, and we
are basically revamping our computer system, because it is very outdated,
and it does not allow a lot of our departments to connect in with each
other. So, the person who runs the Data Processing Department has gone
through in trying to g|¥e us the best value for our money, and give us a
more up-to-date system, that can serve the public better, because the
people in Town Hall will be able to communicate with each other better, and
produce better work.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I think we had a study done a.couple of years
ago, and at that..p.o|nt we put it on hold. I think the new administration
came, evaluated It, and we .hired somebody in-house, and he has
reformatted that si~Uc~y, and this ,s a result of that.

computers, but software, and training for the next three years.

in aqdcultural uses requres less tax dollars for services than does
land with residential or commercial development. Accordingly,.
farmers shall have the Riqht to Farm in Southold without undue
interference from adiacent landowners or users. For the purpose
of reducinq future conflicts between people residing on tracts
adjacent to farmlands and farmers, it is necessary to establish
and give notice of the nature of the farming activities to future
neiqhbors of farmland and farminq activities.
Agricultural activities conducted on farmland, undertaken in
compliance with applicable federal, state, county and town laws,
rules and reeulations are presumed to be .qood agricultural
practices and oresumed not to adversely affect the public health
safety and welfare. We find that whatever nuisance may be caused
to others by such uses and activities, so conducted, is more than
offset by the benefits from farming to the community. Therefore,
alt such activities shall be Protected Farm Practices within the

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are going to stop here at this point. It's
almost time for our hearing. Would anyone like to address the Town
Board? (No response.) You have two minutes, then you can continue
after the hearing, if anyone would like to address the Town Board at this
point on any topic, or something you would like to share with us. I will
call again later after the hearings, and we are finished with our business,
and if you have thought of something, or something comes to your mind, we
certainly will be very happy to entertain your questions. Maybe I can just
share with you a little bit one of the things I have done the last couple of
weeks. I did attend the conference on the Brown Tide over in
Westhampton the other day. You had to be in Westhampton by eight
o'clock in the morning, and I didn't leave until ~t:30. I know a gentleman
in the audience left about 12:30. Tim Kelly was also over there covering
the event for the newspaper, and I think we both felt pretty good about
being dedicated, and being there at 8:00 o'clock in the morning on a
aPRil I5, 1997 '483
Saturday, but they did serve us breakfast. It was a very interesting
conference, and I would llke to share some remarks with you at the end of
the meeting. One of things that amazed me is back in '77, I believe, they
showed the map of where these blooms are taking place. Up in Rhode
Island, up in Maine, there were several blooms in that area, and they show
a map of' today, and you have blooms, Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Golf of
Mexico, along the entire west coast. Now. along the entire east coast,
Alaska, Japan, there is an alarming increase to these blooms throughout the
world, and most of it is along the shore where you have nooks, and
crannies, and bays going in, and so forth. There was some interesting
theories in relation to the groundwater entering the bays in the area, and
there ~ .,arch teams, that we are going to be. looking.

Joe, do you have anything to report?
APRIL ~5,
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Not too much. I'm interested to see that we
finally go the LI and LIO use changes on the hearing. I am surprised
there is not more interest on this, because these can substantially effect
the way the Town is developed. There is a fair amount of property zoned
in those uses, and up until this time there has really not been that much
opportunity to-use it for what our industry is, which is recreation in
general,, and ,that's our biggest and fastes.t: growing industry-;' I would
guess, and I think we provided an opportunity for that. So; I am happy
to see that you have gotten this far.' I would ,llke to have seen people here
that own the property,-and comment on it.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Councilman Moore?
COUNCILMAN MOORE: Very briefly, the Code Committee has been busy
and we are going to meet again next week to discuss two items, which we
won't even contemplate getting done that night. One is assisting the
Planning Board in coming up with guidelines on Site Plan waivers from the
Planning Board, deciding whether or not an existing business has to go
through a full Site Plan proce.ss, or if there is a modified, or reduced Site
Plan process, or a waiver from the requirements. We are going to I:ook:int0
that, and formalize that process, so that there is some serious, guidelines
put in place they can operate under. The second one we are goir;g t6 look
at for a little bit of time is the Merger Law. There continue to be issues,
and problems that pop up with it, now that it has been on the, boo;ks.for a
year and a half, or so. The ast thing, we had a reSoluti~ on! tonig, ht
that set a public hearing on a telecommunication tower moratoriUm. In`. Spite
of, or not withstanding, that public hearing, which is set for
the Code Committee is: going to get right to work starting ne
telecommunication tower issue, and start hashing that out. So,~ that is
to be a big piece next Wednesday evening. So, that is it.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, sir. Judge Evans?
JUSTICE EVANS: I am just pleased that the Suffolk County Health
Department, and the Suffolk County Planning Board, and the Town
Planning Board, and people from Fishers Island, and the Town Board has
all worked together, and we have coming for public hearing a proposed
amendment to Article IV, the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, which are
watershed protection standards for Fishers Island. I am happy to see that
go through, and hope some day you will have something similar for the rest
of the town. It's nice to see that come to fruition, because people have
been working on it' for a long time.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: And you are getting your tennis court fixed?
JUSTICE EVANS: Yes, we are. Thank you.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I agree with Alice. I attended the Ten Towns
Superv.sors :Meet, n.g, maybe a week and a half ago, and all of the ten
towns, that were in atter~dance do have a concern, and we are all watching
it very carefully, so your advise is well taken. I would like to report to
you .some ~)f the things that have kept me busy in add!tion to answering
phone calls; and letters, and having people come in for interviews, and so
forth. I did a~tend the Heart Association Ball, and served on the honorary
committee, was honoring Thomas Duell, he was President of
Peconlc Health, which is the three hospitals, Doctor Dan
Damlanos., is not only a doctor but owns Pindar, and they were
honored that night. It was a lovely affair. On the eighth, I did attend
the Eastern Long Island Round Table. They held an Economic Conference
in Riverhead. In started first thing in the morning, and went most Of the
morning, in fact, up until lunch. I was interested in going, because we
will be holding a Economic Conference here in Southold for our businesses
to review ~he results of the surveys we have done, and show them support
services, that come from both County, State, and Federal, and this will be
held on May 6th. So, I did have some good input. I grabbed some good
people , and I think that will help us also. Also, I attended a fashion
show in Mattituck, the P.T.A. It was a lot of fUn, because not only did
they have females, but they also had males parading around, and
strutting., and doing their stuff in their fancy new clothes. It was kind of
fun. We had a Safety Committee this week, and John Cushman, our
Finance. Director, heads that committee, and we are looking as a Town
Board to find as many ways as we can to insure the safety of .our
employees throughout our different facilities. We will be doing
walk-throughs, and some other things, just to improve, or correct any
situations that are now presently there, so that we can bring as much
Safety as possible to our employers. We, also, had a Labor Management
Committee meeting with the Union. This is the Committee of myself, and
Councilman Moor~, and Ra.y Jacobs, Superintendent of Highways, and the
Union also has representatives, and we try to discuss different points and
issues before they .become problems, so we review things, and bring them
to the Board, and it works quite Well. It helps to cut ci0wn .on some of t.he
problems. As I mentioned earlier, I went to the BroWn Tide meeting in
Westhampton. I found it very interesting, knowing different things about
the Brown Tide f.rom the time it began, and bits and pieces here. It was
kind' of good to sit and 'hear wl~at 'had be accomplished by this group up to
this point. So many times groups put together, and they don
