Terry Southold Town Clerk E] FFI P-E OF THE SUPERVISOR MAL NEVEI. October 18, 1982 Southotd Town Board Southold, New York Attention: Supervisor William Pell Dear Bill: With reference to several discussions we had concerning the p~oposed LILCO transmission line through the towns of Southold, Shelter Island and Southampton and the Village of North Haven, everyone is in agreement that this electric line will benefit all of the eastern municipalities and the residents by providin~ superior service. $outhold Town passed a resolution last spring in favor of the proposed line as described--above ground high lines. At the present ti~e LILCO is using this as a weapon in discussions with the other m~nicipalities. The impact of %his line naturally is not' of ma3or concern to Southotd Town because of the short distance on private property within Southold. All the other municipalities are registering great concern with this proposed transmission line and the impact on their total communities. I believe I can speak for all concerned, that we feel in the best interest of the neighbors involve~ the Town Board of South~ld should reconsider their resolution of last spring and possib~ly rescind this resolution. It is the opinion of the majorigy involved that it would not place an undue hardship on LILCO ~o place this transmission line underground. If need be I will make myself available to attend your meeting tomorrow to answer any questions you may have. cc: .Town of East Hampton Town of Southampton Village of North Haven Sincerely, Mal Nevel, Supervisor JUDITH T.

Dean on Wednesday, April 21, 1~82. Since talking with you and Mr. Dean, we have also discussed our pro- posed 69kV transmission line with the Supervisors of the Towns of Southampton and Shelter Island and with a member of the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Haven. It would appear that the proposed route chosen for this line is tentatively acceptable co each of the municipalities involved. It was evident at my meetings that the question of ~ree trim or tree removal was the mosv sensitive issue and is of serious concern to each of the affected municipalities. I have carried all of the com~envs made ay these meetings back the LILCO Deparvmenvs presently engaged in the planning of this facility. As a result~ LILCO offers the following commitments: to The ~ransmission line will be constructed on ~ooden poles with a maximu~ height above the ground of 42 - 55 feet unless tree conditions require hi~her poles. The new poles will replace existing distribution poles so as to either minimize or reduce the overall numbers of poles on Town or Village svreevs. Each pole will carry the three transmission conductors ay the ~op area with distribution primary and secondary below followed ay the lower elevations by telephone and cable television facilities.

William R. t, June 2, 1982 Page 2 III All construction will be of the "armless" type using insulators to carry the eteotrical transmission, distribution and communi- cation facilities. There will be no cross-arms utilized. (See enclosed p~otographs of typical construction.) Tree trim and tree removal will be kep5 to a minimum, consistent with electrical code clearance requirements. LILCO will personally contact each of ~he property o~ners where tree trim or removal affects trees located on their premises. Arrangements will be made with these property owners to either: A. Compensave them for the loss of trees, or; B. Replace any trees removed. These arrangements will be made so as to relieve the municipality of any coordinating involvement. LILC0 will purchase privately-owned premises if necessary at the point where overhead facilities convert To the underwater cables to Shelter Island. We are hopeful that these arrangemenvs will satisfy Town requirements. The benefits of this line, which will connecv the electrical trans- mission systems on both the north and south forks are obvious. The completion of the project will result in greatly improved service re- liability to the entire easterly end of Long Island and secondly, will greatly reduce the necessity to ccnstruc~ or expand additional trans- mission line facilities om both the north and south forks for the fore- seeable future. We are hopeful that these arrangements will be acceptable to you an~ your Town Board. We are most anxious to receive your comments and approval before going Further with the design and engineering plan- ning for this projecv. Very truly yours~ Perry' D.
