Romanelli, Councilman Brian G. Murphy, Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney Gregory F. Yakaboski Absent: Councilman William D. Moore Town Board Updates 9:00 A.M. - 9:15 A.M. Supervisor Cochran advised that the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development will be in at 9:15 A.M. with regard to the "Industrial & Commercial Incentive Plan" for the Town of Southold. They have been in several times, but this is it, the Town Board must act at this time. Councilwoman Alice Hussle reported on the last CATV meeting at which they spoke about bringing in an attorney who specializes in cable television franchises at their next meeting on August 28th, William Coulter from California and Hong Kong. Joseph Rizzo, Suffolk County Legislator will hold a meeting this Wednesday at 7:00 P.M. in Riverhead with the Public Service Commission and the Federal Communications Commission. Justice Louisa Evans reported that she has been working on the removal of the junk cars from Fishers Island with the Air National Guard. they are not quite sure what to do with the batteries, oil, & gas. Supervisor Cochran said not to do anything at this point. The DEC and the National Guard will take care of it. They just need to know the number of cars and the makes of them. 9:15 A.M. Alice Amrhein, Commissioner and Fred Bender of the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development, and Valerie Scopaz, Town Planner appeared before the Board regarding the "Industrial & Commercial Incentive Plan". Ms. Amrhein advised that they now have six towns participating, Southold would be the seventh. A meeting of the their committee will be convened on September 9th to pass the resolution, then it will be sent to the Suffolk County Legislature for their approval. Ms. Scopaz explained that the plan for the Town of South~ld was drafted over a period of time. It includes some of the Master Plan and they also took in account certain other pertinent data. She said that it should be a living document that can be molded and updated as we go along. She is very concerned that there are many historic properties in town in our business' districts and they are worried about the people getting permits to build new structures instead of renovating the historic ones. Mr. Bender stated that at the present time they are following the state plan. The town has not designated any specific areas in this plan, but they could be added on in the future. Ms. Amrhein explained that they only thing this does is give you a plan and an opportunity. The Town Board itself would have to act on each application. Supervisor Cochran said the T6wn would have control by the incentives that they offer. Ms. Amrhein stated that once the Suffolk County Legislature adopts it, her office would have no further role in it. They are- strictly the administrative agency. Supervisor Cochran and Councilman Romanelli were prepared to move ahead on it. Councilwoman Hussie said that she could see absolutely no advantage to the Town of Southold in it, she thought that the $50,000.00 threshold was too high for our local businesses. She was of the opinion that it would be just another layer of government. Supervisor Cochran said that she sees too many empty stores in the hamlet of Southold and perhaps this would help. She feels that Economic Development is a very subtle ongoing process that becomes a tool that you have and once the local businesses hear about it, it will create a more business friendly town. Mr. Bender advised that once it is enacted, their office will be responsible for notifying all of the taxing jurisdictions, such as the school boards. They must then pass a resolution for or against it. If they do nothing then they are automatically a part of it. Ali Board members present were in agreement with the exception of Councilwoman Hussie. This matter will be put on the September 1st agenda for a resolution to adopt. 9:a5 A.M. - Appointment - John Sepenoski re: computer upgrade budget, Mr. Sepenoski appeared before the board to question how the board would like to proceed with the current plan. Several departments are asking for equipment that were not included in the 1998 budget. The Town Clerk is asking for computer equipment and programs for issuance of State Licenses which could cost from $15,000.00 to $30,000.00 depending on selection of vendors. The Board directed Mr. Sepenoski to remain on course for 1998. New requests will be addressed in the 1999 budget. The' information for a "Seminar on Sexual Harassment" good for representatives of the: Town to attend. We will ~e m Riverhead to cut down on the cost. It is a flat rate of $1250.00. The Town Attorney has it in his budget, no resolution is necessary. 10:00 A,M~ Mr. in not next the gas P We the ~ the the that the I ma~ ApPointment ~ Tom Maher, Dvirka & Bartilucci,,:Re: Landfill Closure )resented and reviewed with the Board the plans for the landfill ha~e to gO. to the DEC tomorrow.

Executive Session ended at 12:10 P.M., at which time the Board recessed for lunch until 1:15 P.M. 1:25 P.M. The Town Board reconvened the work session and reviewed the IV For Discussion Items: (1) Yellow Bag evaluation - per Supervisor Cochran. A survey of the businesses who sell the yellow bags will be done to get their comments and suggestions. There is a young woman who would be willing to do the survey as a volunteer. A set of questions will be developed which she will go out and ask the businesses. (IV 2.) Hiring of a full-time laborer at the Scavenger Waste Facility - per John Romanelli. Councilman Romanelli advised that we started out this year with two full time employees this year; and then we took one away. It is in the 1998 budget for two (2) full-time employees. (Resolution No. 21 to advertise for same was placed on the agenda.) (IV. 3.) Public Hearing for a site plan for addition to existing structure - per Councilman Romanelli. Mr. Romanelli questioned why a public hearing is needed if you are permitted in a certain district to do something and you d0n~t need a change of zone. Section 100-25[t H. of the ordinance currently requires it. The public hearing comes after you spend four weeks preparing everything else. You fulfill all of the criteria as written in the code, submit everything, and you are permitted to do it in the zone in which you are anyway, and if there is no change in the footprint, why do you need a public hearing? Arrangements will be made for the Planning Board Chairman to come into the next Town Board work session to discuss this. (IV ~. Revision of drug policy.) Resolution No. 22 was placed on the agenda.) IV. 5. Lands of Suffolk County Water Authority in Southold declared surplus - per Supervisor Cechran. In an 'effort to further land' preservation, the Water Authority is willing to notify the Town before they are declared surplus property and they want to know if the Town is interested. The Board indicated yes they would be interested and directed Supervisor Coch~an to call Mr. LoCrande to advise him. It may be necessary to pass a resolution at a future meeting. IV. 6. Cross Sound Ferry meeting re: litigation - per Councilman Romanelli who suggested that the Town Board and the Planning Board meet with Cross Sound Ferry to have a "roUndtable discussion". The Town Board said this item will be added to the agenda to discuss with the Planning Board at a the next meeting. IV. 7. CommerCial ApplicatiOn Handling - per Councilman Romanelli - This also will be 'added to the agenda to discuss with the Planning Board at the next meeting. IV. '8. Proposed changes to Chapter q8 - Garbage. Rubbish. & Refuse. Justice Evans was concerned that this would not affect the Changes that were made to this chapter for Fishers ISland.

To insure that ecenomic activity takes place in desirable locations thereby maximizing existing character of the Town's hamlet centers, an examination of the existing zoning along Route 48 from Mattituck to Greenport woUld be an appropriate subject for study in detail. This Local Law is intended to provide the Town Board an opPortunity to review the zoning of properties along the"Route 48 corridor, the likely impacts to the community based upon the existing zoning of properties along Route 48, and to make ammendments as to the level and nature of business uses that are appropriate along Route 48 such that these uses complement existing hamlet e~:)nomic Centers and that bUsinesseS Uses approPriate oUtside hamlet centers are provided ample location in which to be situated.

This AUGUST 18, 1998 is the first one that is still open. If anyone has anything else to add in this area we would be very happy to take your comments now. There are four parts of the legislation, that we have to pass. The first is the Southold Community Preservation Fund. This hearing is still open. Then we have the Southold Community Preservation Project Plan. The third is the Southold Community Preservation Advisory Board, and the fourth is the 2% Real Estate Transfer Tax. So there are four components to making this all happen. Stuart, is there anything you would like to add to this? This is kind of an open thing right now, the hearing. It is: open. It is still hanging open. It was never closed, so I have to close this hearing, so if there are any comments on the monies depositedl expended, purposes for which money can be expended, nothing else, just that area. STUART LOWRY: Having been called upon, for the record my name is Stuart Lowry. I work for the Nature Conservancy, and serve as the Conservancy's Director of Government Relations on Conservation Programs on Long Island. With respect to the hearing that is currently open. All I can say is the general support that the: Conservancy has over the years, certainly in the last Six months for the Community Preservation Fund, which allows ~the Town to identify those properties, Which it considers .to be a interest, a public interest, and then allows the town further to establish a further :Community Transfer Tax, a transfer fee, which allows certain amoul on that the. Town~ can use for the acquisition of a Community Preservation Project Plan. It is ~es back now on the east end of Long Island for more than fourteen successfully in a number of othe Martha'.s Vineyard, NantUcket, Block Islar ,laces, which have . similar recreational County,. Maryland, It has :been preserve community character'.

EDWIN the of ! sa' open more fo! 4:K: I am Edwin M. Schwenk from Southampton, coming from the South Shore, and we, also, are having on Fund over there on a different threshold level I on imprOved property, and $100,000 on unimproved property, I Iold Town is very fortunate. In fact, you have a lot more a lot more farmland, a lot more areas that. you have over on the South Shore. Some people in they think it is too early for us in Southold. We of. thing yet. I say, you are very fortunate, much we' are in Easthampton and Southampton, because s it is already too late. However, we are doing the there, and i most certainly congratUlate the Town the Town of Southold to go ado~ generations ahead will be the given here to see this come to fruition, and I it not too early for Southold. I think you are pe you take advantage of that. SU Jol' ~? Thank you. I think I will call on some Board Board members have on what they are working. COl hal~ .:1: I won't say anything about what we are state that I got to take my first trip to Fishers ly was it a day out of the office, it was quite any of you have ever been there. It is a part of hard to believe, when you take an hour and a can see Rhode Island from the shoreline in AUGUST 18, 1998 Connecticut. It is hard to believe it is part of Southold Town, but Louisa is not here to vouch for me, but I want to tell you it is a beautiful place. Under 300 year-round residents, which was almost amazing when I found that out. It has some beautiful shores, beautiful homes, very impressive. If anyone ever gets a chance to go to Fishers Island for whatever reason, I don't know what chance would get you there, but if you ever have a chance to go you should go and check it out, because it. is part of our town, and it is a very.unique part of Southold Town, and it is not only that the island is nice. We, pretty much the whole Town Board, plus many members of 'the Planning, Building, Zoning, and every other committee of the town got to go also. It was a nice day: to talk with everyone, spend a day, It was a great day. I say we do. it 'more often. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I have a couple of things to say. One of them is concerning Cablevision. It is too late for those of you who are watching on TV, on Channel 27, but the Suffolk County Legislature is having a meeting tomorrow, August. 19th at 10:00 A.M., at which time they are taking information in front of the general public concerning the rate hikes. There is going to be another hearing on the 22nd of September at 10:00 o'clock in Hauppauge. Again, .if you want to travel that far, if you want to be heard about this Cablevision problem, you can go to Hauppauge September 22nd at 10:00 A.M; Along those ~lines on. Monday .as one of the cable representatives ~for the Town of Southold, I. will be going into Riverhead to talk to, or interview, or see what they have to say, some attorneys who are specialists in this field, get some. ~information from them, which will help us in our n~ wi' franchise with Cablevision. Cablevision, dd like: too. :Many of you were the initiative referend on to go situation, because prior to the ~vote, However~ all is.not~ lost. ninety day restriction, best word I can use for that, so a referendum on that LIPA electricity .a~ lot :of dead, and will but I don't from hoping set we wili!~be ~able tO that just a little bit, drive that we: had for slature held this meeting 'to alloW thei referendum day deadline. the that: there l will be about is gone lately~ . ! was evemn but we ~s not happy with it neXt l.week. I SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: iBrJan? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: PreservatiOn, on be to are around them, it at the mome~ Cetting on to the Land Preservation, Open Space ~just r~eceived these signs that are going to be placed lands and ~griculture lands; This will not only our tax, 2% land tax. We are not going land. There will be one on each bl|ght to ~the. eye. But, these Ok. like, and so when yOU start seeing them 'you wilPlrealiZe that where you see your: tax d.ollar h~as paid for, because ~pment ir~ghts, and that's all I have SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: A meeting on the 2% Community Preservation Fund was held in Riverhead the other day for~ last Week for real estate people, '.and I thought it was v.ery wel ;attended, anc~ I t. hought it was a very successful meeting. I think that many received ~mformation they weren't aware of. There were Martha's Vineyard. They have had:this in place for a nu~ Riverhead, and Peconic Land panel. ~We. had people llke audience,, which we used of Land Preservation, personally felt that it was and I felt, and Supervisor of Tim i Cauf~ield were more or less the Mr. Huntington in the [yah, our Chairman very smoothty, and I was a good boost. We have AUGUST 18, 1998 been busy working on the budget. As you know it is that time of year. We have to work on a budget to be ready to present to the Town Board, so that is taking a great deal of my time right now. I had the pleasure of attending a dinner for Jim and Adele Rich. On behalf of the Town Board I would, once again, congratulate them. They were the honorees for the Eastern Long Island Hospital as far as the Roosevelt Award for volunteers, and that was well deserved, so we congratulate both Jim and Adele Rich. As has been mentioned we did go to Fishers Island for a trip. It is done once a year. We usually invite County and State officials. Like the DEC went over. They had business. There had been a spill at the airport in recent months for a small plane crash, and many of these people go over, and conduct business while they are there. Many of our committees go over. The Chiefs Counsel from the Fire Department had a meeting at the firehouse, .so it serves more of purpose than just Town Board members going, over. It helps others in other levels of government do some of their business. We did receive a small plaque from Fort Wright~ As you know Fort Wright is located on Fishers Island. It was one hundred years old this year, and they presented us with a plaque in appreciation for our .help and support that we gave them. For those of you who are not aware, during World War I and World War II it was a military installation On Fishers Island, and th ny, many bunkers that are stiil th~re~ Ir~ fact, One of the this past trip was, how mx there doors have been ripped opel for the so we would like to repair these where we can, so are ii- an inventory .of .ail the bunkers. It was quite an it's somewhat, althouc. we have them in relation to an as you .may have noticed we have two are not sa! was at the Work Session duri~ had. to nd early, gotten and she had some care ~;. water t .this weekend. We thou He ~(~rays this afternoor flier. It wasn't anything broken, but s, and of course I told him the Town Bm is little too old for these kind of things, this would like to say a again, they in~ fro ,.~and some miniature sunf at we say thank you to the appropriate for toni, with it, but since we I wo~ ~this with you. I on a recent to ~t Jennie K. Hurd, age the attached age, I thought you and ;e ~it in the manner you share ~. of the poem is, where i 'he waters are clear, leuds are white.

We would like tO say, t you to Mi.ss Jenny, andi~for her liking our community as much as w~ do~ I think that is about all I ha~e, as far as a report this evening. We have~a minute or so. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: This is nothing controversial. You can all expect, this time next year you will see the beginning of the foothills of Mount Cutchogue, the rolling hills of Cutchogue. We had a presentation today from our consultant concerning the capping of the landfill, and it is pretty much ready to go up to the DEC to receive the DEC's blessing. There are 37 acres up there, that have to be covered. It is going to be rolling. When I talk about rolling hills, I really mean rolling hills, AUGUST 18, 1998 because if you go to other places, in New England mostly I have seen them, you see mountains. It is a pyramid kind of thing, but we are not going to have that. We are going to have what is called a washboard effect, but I prefer to think of it as rolling hills. It is going to be undulating curbs, supposedly very nice, and sticking out of every acre will be a gooseneck pipe, which will have the methane coming out of it. So, you can look forward to that. I am so happy. It is part of the beauty of Southold. I hope' it is going to be beautiful. I just worry about it so much. Supposedly it is going to be about 17 feet high at it's highest point, and some of it less. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You are hoping that when we get it all finished, maybe we can utilize some of the land, and put a Par 3 up there. I mean if it is ours we might as well try to do something with it once it is completely closed; The methane comes out of those things; COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: It gathers together. That is on the perimeter where the actual garbage :is. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: :Where we have to hit our golf balls. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Some people want to. I don't want to. It forces it's way to the top. You don't-want to know all that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: May I have a motion to adjourn for the first hearing,~ Which is scheduled for 8:10, a Local Law in Relation to New Parking sign by Main Street, New Suffolk? Moved by Councilman Murphy, seconded by Councilman Moore, it was RESOLVED 'that a recess be called at this time, 8:10 P. M., for the purpose of '. holding a public hearing. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, CoUnCilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Meeting reconvened at 8:55 P.M. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That ends our regular business. At this time, if there is anyone that would like to address the Town Board on any Town business other'~than what was on the agenda, please feel free. We would be very happy to entertain your comments on any topic of Town business. BERNARD .HEINISCH: Bernard Heinisch, County Road [[8. Again, I wish to bring uP the same items that I have in the last several months, and to give a little b~ekgrOund of the Latham property, which was purchased in 1996. It was pu~cl~ased as residential property, and it being used for industria purposes )re Excavation was purchased in: 199a,, 1.7 acres, LP business. The Inspector several years ago went to the site to file a vlolat'mn. :The Building Inspector was allegedly threatened, and told to get off the reported to his superior, and his superior can be done. At the present time, and for four on the site do not have a CO~ They do not have permits are on the property. Mr. Forrester was advised many, many go, and to this day nothing has been. done. After the last B0ardI ~1 was told that something was being done. Up.o.n my inveStlgat~iiSn~ irito several departments there is no paper work signifying, nothing is being done.: Do you have any comments? AUGUST 18, 1998 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I have nothing at this time. Thank you. The proof will be in the pudding. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.) If not, may I have a motion to adjourn? Moved by Councilman Romanelli, seconded by Councilman Murphy, it was RESOLVED-that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 9:00 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, Councilwoman Hu~sie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Southold Town Clerk
