21 after the event . The one question I
22 have I just, I didn ' t realize until I

25 rather than from the beach . It always
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 4

3 ask that the cleanup include all the
4 fireworks debris that ' ll float onto the
5 beach naturally from that barge . And
6 just be mentioned to the host if you
7 would also police the beach . So that I
8 know the Town received a letter

10 about this . So I would just ask that
11 that be included also . Thank you .

5 LL MORATORIUM ON RESORTS , HOTELS &
6 MOTELS
7 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : The
8 purpose of tonight ' s final public
9 hearing is to consider a 12-month
10 moratorium on the review, approval
11 and/or issuance of all permits for or
12 related to new development of resorts ,
13 hotels and motels . The proposed
14 moratorium would prohibit the Planning
15 Board, Zoning Board of Appeals , Town
16 Board, Building Department, Board of
17 Trustees from accepting, considering or
18 acting upon any application for or
19 related to the new development or
20 redevelopment of any property, parcel ,
21 land build or anything else for the new
22 construction of a resort, hotel or motel
23 as defined in the Town Code . The full
24 text of the proposed Local Law can be
25 found on the Town ' s website and posted
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 27
1 on the Clerk ' s Bulletin Board . In the
2 folder here, I have a significant packet
3 of letters in favor of the proposed
4 moratorium . I have a letter from the
5 Suffolk County Planning Commission . I
6 guess I ' ll read this letter because it
7 outlines a number of different things .
8 No . This is actually this -- this is
9 this Southold Town Planning Board, but
10 it is mislabeled . The Southold Town
11 Planning Board supports the proposed
12 moratorium, and I ' ll outline the
13 reasons . The economic benefit and
14 positive and negative impact supporting
15 infrastructure and growth inducing
16 developments of resorts , hotels , and
17 motels in current zone districts by
18 hamlet . The economic benefit and
19 positive and negative impacts in growth
20 inducing development of short term
21 rentals in relation to resorts , hotels ,
22 and motels by hamlet . The economic
23 benefit , zoning equity and application
24 process of a Bed and Breakfast use
25 versus transient rentals and short term
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 28
1 rentals , the consistency of resorts
2 hotels , motel uses and zoning with the
3 goals and objectives of the Southold
4 Town Comprehensive Plan . The Planning
5 Board appreciates the opportunity to
6 comment on this Local Law . The Suffolk
7 County Planning Commission, they have a
8 motion here approving this , but request
9 that it be a six month duration, where
10 we report back in two months , or three
11 months rather, sorry . I have a letter
12 from our LWRP coordinator, Mark Terry,
13 that says this action is exempt from the
14 LWRP Coastal Resiliency Review . I have
15 a SEQRA determination, classifying this
16 as a Type 2 action and therefore not
17 subject to SEQRA review . I have an
18 affidavit of publication in the Suffolk
19 Times along with the legal notice that
20 was published in the Suffolk Times . I
21 have a notice that was sent to adjacent
22 jurisdictions . I have a copy of the
23 legal notice, and affidavit that the
24 legal notice was posted on the Town
25 Clerk ' s Bulletin Board in the back .
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 29
1 Sign by our Town Clerk Denis Noncarrow,
2 and a resolution setting the Public
3 Hearing . That ' s what I got .
4 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
5 you . Is the record complete?
6 PAUL DECHANCE : The record is
7 complete .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
9 you . All right . So on a Local Law for
10 a 12 month moratorium on resorts ,
11 hotels , and motels . Is there anyone
12 here who would like to speak on that
13 proposal?
14 MR . CHARLIE : Charlie ( inaudible ) ,
15 Laurel . I ' d like to read a letter dated
16 April loth, and I believe was sent to
17 you already . Asking for a broader
18 moratorium because there is a great deal
19 of concern about what might happen with
20 the restricted moratorium that is
21 proposed tonight . To the -- Dear
22 Supervisor Krupski and Town Board
23 Members , The North Fork Civic Coalition
24 rights to request the Town Board ' s
25 immediate consideration of a carefully
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 30
1 scoped 12 month development moratorium
2 for Southold Town . In September of
3 2020 , after a decade of dedicated
4 municipal and community engagement ,
5 Southold Town unanimously adopted its
6 current Comprehensive Plan . The plan
7 sets a long awaited and ambitious course
8 for future planning, conservation,
9 development, and human resources . Human
10 services , sorry . The plan also sets the
11 important overarching goals of
12 protecting the Town ' s rural and historic
13 character, as well as the fragile,
14 natural environment that supports our
15 local economy and exceptional quality of
16 life . To help implement the myriad
17 policies expressed in the Comprehensive
18 Plan, the Town is now engaged in an
19 ambitious project to reshape the Town ' s
20 Zoning Code, and other related Town
21 Codes . It is expected that this effort
22 will engage the entire community over a
23 12 to 15 month period and result in a
24 reshaping of Town Codes to support the
25 Comprehensive Plan . However, in the
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 31
1 almost four years from the time of the
2 Comprehensive Plan ' s adoption, Southold
3 Town has been experiencing an
4 unprecedented and accelerating surge in
5 development pressure . In particular,
6 the size, scale, number, and complexity
7 of development proposals now being
8 discussed and coming before the Town
9 clearly has the capacity to negatively
10 alter the Town ' s future character,
11 resources , and infrastructure, and to
12 permanently impact the way of life that
13 is enjoyed and supported by Town
14 residents . Rising development pressures
15 threaten to comply -- sorry, threaten to
16 simply outpace the Town ' s ability to
17 rapidly implement its most critical
18 community planning and zoning goals ,
19 including retaining the rural character,
20 protecting agriculture , managing traffic
21 congestion, and preserving resources of
22 natural and historic significance . The
23 extended timeframe needed to shape Town
24 Codes to meet the objectives of the
25 Comprehensive Plan could have an
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 32
1 unintended kinds of permitting projects
2 to go forward that would undermine the
3 plan and create lasting adverse impacts
4 for the Town . In an effort to avoid
5 such an outcome and more rapidly
6 advanced the implementation of the
7 Town ' s comprehensive planning goals , we
8 strongly urge the Town to seriously
9 consider enacting a 12 month development
10 moratorium on proposals that are likely
11 to have the greatest potential impact on
12 the future of the Town, and it
13 undermined the duly adopted goals of the
14 comprehensive plan . To meet the
15 challenges of potentially ill-time
16 proposals , the Town Board could enact a
17 very carefully defined development
18 moratorium that would be limited to not
19 only new resorts , hotels , and motels ,
20 but also new commercial development,
21 major subdivisions , special exception
22 permit applications , zone change
23 requests , and use variances . Such a
24 pause will allow a clear path forward
25 for such developments to in alignment
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 33
1 with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan
2 once the zoning update is complete .
3 Should the Town enact a moratorium it
4 should clearly identify the types of
5 applications and entitlements that would
6 not consider -- that would not be
7 considered during the moratorium period .
8 In addition, the Local Law enacting the
9 moratorium should include a clearly
10 stated exception and/or variance section
11 that specifies the procedure and
12 enumerates the findings required for
13 granting such a request . We welcome
14 such an opportunity to participate in
15 the community and develop effective
16 modifications in the Town Code . We
17 appreciate the time and consideration of
18 our requests and look forward to your
19 comments . That ' s signed by
20 representative ' s of the civic
21 associations and their boards .
22 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
23 you .
24 MR . CHARLIE : Thank you .
25 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Can we
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 34
1 get a copy of that or do we have a copy
2 -- okay . Thank you . Go ahead, sir .
3 JOHN ARMENTANO : Supervisor,
4 Members of the Board . My name is John
5 Armentano, I ' m an attorney with Farrell ,
6 Fritz , and we represent 9025 Main
7 Street, LLC, which as you know was the
8 owner of the abandoned Capital One
9 property located in Main Street in
10 Mattituck . Tonight , I would just like
11 to speak to you regarding if possible
12 exceptions to the criteria for pending
13 applications for redevelopment that
14 might qualify for a possible exclusion
15 from this moratorium. We would suggest
16 that property that is an existing and
17 vacant structure that has parking, that
18 does not propose to have any other
19 development . This plan has been
20 significantly reduced, but if the
21 concern is that there ' s an
22 infrastructure concern, the property
23 that my clients -- that we now
24 represent, are concerned with is that
25 they ' ve been in process since 2021 for
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 35
1 the reuse, which I think is a
2 consideration for the Board . I know
3 there ' s discussion about new
4 development, but I think reuse and
5 redevelopment has its own place and
6 possibly may be excluded from this
7 moratorium . As you know, originally
8 this property was proposed to be
9 developed with 121 homes that was
10 submitted to the Town in 2021 , but based
11 on revisions to the plan based on Town
12 Planning comments and outreach with the
13 public, the project has been reduced to
14 81 homes . Within the 81 hotel rooms ,
15 within the existing building, with all
16 of the open space that currently exists
17 to be preserved . So there ' s no impact
18 to the environmentally sensitive
19 property that are located to the west .
20 As you know, the 7 . 5 acre of property
21 was once a supermarket in the 70 ' s . It
22 fell out of use . It was then bought out
23 of foreclosure and sold to the North
24 Fork Bank, which operated it for a
25 number of years , and employed 350
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 36
1 employees . In 2006 , Capital One
2 purchased the property from North Fork
3 Bank, and they operated until September
4 of 2011 . In 2013 , the property was then
5 put up for auction, and it was purchased
6 by my client and subsequently the entity
7 that now owns the property . But as we
8 are aware, this is a rather large
9 building and has been unused and it ' s
10 somewhat of an unsightly issue in the
11 downtown area of Mattituck . There
12 really is no other viable use for the
13 property . Retail is not what was wanted
14 by the Town at the time . It was
15 considered for redevelopment . So the
16 next option here is further reuse .
17 Obviously under this code section, we ' d
18 have to submit to the Zoning Board for a
19 Special Permit criteria, but as you ' re
20 also may be where because of the reduced
21 use of the property, it had a full
22 market value of $ 11 million dollars .
23 That has been significant reduced based
24 on unused by the property . Providing a
25 mechanism to redevelop the property will
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 37
1 inject much tax funds into the Town,
2 which of course will go to good use .
3 Again, my clients are here to suggest
4 that this repurposing of the property be
5 considered as part of your exclusions .
6 Currently, the exclusions , as drafted,
7 prohibit any consideration of any
8 application in any form. We are
9 currently in -- with a new application,
10 with a revised application, that has
11 been going through the process for the
12 last four years , we would suggest,
13 obviously, at your discretion, to
14 possibly have a provision to allow for
15 pending redevelopments to be considered,
16 or at the very least to have the Special
17 Permit application be considered by the
18 Zoning Board, which will take some wants
19 to proceed without losing the ability to
20 prevent any further approvals through
21 site plan . So there ' s a way to keep the
22 process moving as you redesign your
23 code , but obviously having in the bumper
24 and the buffer, to not allow for further
25 proceedings before the Site Plan Board .
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 38
1 Another criteria that was used for the
2 exemption is the use criteria under Town
3 Law . That ' s a very onerous condition .
4 We ' re aware of that and we you know
5 those are very difficult applications to
6 make . As currently drafted, it has the
7 Town Board being the Board that oversees
8 this hearts of application . We would
9 suggest that that is possibly better
10 suited to be before the Zoning Board,
11 who typically does hear area and use
12 variances . It ' s a modification you may
13 want to consider, but we also understand
14 the concern that the Town Board would
15 like to have control . But it is a use
16 variance criteria, which is a difficult
17 criteria, and it may be best to have the
18 Zoning Board consider that as it is more
19 within their value of applications that
20 they have received before . Again, we do
21 echo the Planning Commission ' s comments
22 that the one year moratorium may be
23 excessive . Especially considering the
24 length of time that my applicants , my
25 clients have been before the Town . We
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 39
1 recommend a moratorium of six months .
2 That ' s a recommendation also about the
3 Suffolk County Planning Commission . It
4 is a typical moratorium duration . What
5 we would suggest or hopefully you would
6 consider a shorter moratorium or at the
7 very least , have carve out provision so
8 that we can proceed with the process
9 without changing what the Town ' s
10 ultimate objective would be . But again,
11 our consideration here for you to
12 consider tonight is that redevelopment
13 is very different from new development .
14 And redevelopment does not have the same
15 impacts on infrastructure , which I
16 believe is the concern, or one of the
17 concerns that the Town and the Town --
18 the public has for more development . We
19 are not putting in more development . We
20 are redeveloping an existing property,
21 which is a sound planning practice .
22 Again, the location is located in a
23 location that is between the train
24 tracks on a well traveled road . It
25 would also probably take less of the
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 40
1 impacts that you ' re feeling from the
2 Airbnb ' s that are in the community .
3 This is a center that would be
4 adequately handled for hotel use, and we
5 appreciate you having given us the
6 opportunity to address the Board
7 tonight .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
9 you . Thank you for those comments .
10 Would everyone also like to address the
11 Board?
12 CHUCK SIMON : Chuck Simon and then
13 in Southold . Hotels and motels
14 essentially attract a transient
15 population . And when you think about
16 that , they come and go . While at the
17 same time, if we look at the Southold
18 school system, one realizes that the
19 number of students in the whole school
20 system in the last 10 years has dropped
21 from close to nine of their students to
22 at the 500 students next year . So we ' re
23 seeing a dramatic diminishment in the
24 number of students attending our school
25 systems . And by -- so I would certainly
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 41
1 be in favor of extending the moratorium,
2 but I think also what ' s really important
3 is we to spend more time considering
4 affordable housing for those people who
5 could live there and their children so
6 they can stay in the school system .
7 Because the school system is in a
8 challenging state right now . Thank you .
9 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
10 you .
11 ANNE MURRAY : My name is Anne
12 Murray . I represent the North Fork
13 Environmental Council as the Southold
14 Land Use Coordinator . I ' m here to say
15 that it ' s great that you ' re doing a
16 moratorium, but we ' ve sent you a letter
17 a couple of months back, asking for a
18 full moratorium, as did the Southold
19 Civics . I think a hotel/motel is too
20 limited . Just before I came to this
21 meeting, I was talking to John Sepp, and
22 I said, John, when you look at the map
23 of all the preserved land in Southold,
24 how much is left that ' s vacant and open
25 that can be developed? And he said,
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 42
1 gosh, off the top, my head probably
2 thousands of acres . And I thought , wow .
3 Okay . So let ' s picture 20 years from
4 now, are we gonna be like another
5 Levittown because I can guarantee you
6 that a lot of people who all those
7 vacant parcels are not going to come to
8 Land Preservation and say I want to sell
9 my development rights to the Town . And
10 they ' re not going to keep farming it
11 because farmers are having a really hard
12 time . So they ' re going to develop it .
13 So you need to picture that . When you
14 go home , go in your computer and look at
15 the land preservation map and see what ' s
16 left . And I ' m here to ask you to save
17 what ' s left . So consider expanding the
18 moratorium before it ' s too late . We
19 live in one of the last great places .
20 Thank you .
21 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
22 you, Anne . And we actually have that .
23 Thank you suggesting that . That is
24 online, but it ' s also a nice map in the
25 Conference Room down there . It ' s just
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 43
1 been updated with protected lands map to
2 give everyone an idea what that looks
3 like . Go ahead, sir .
4 RAY WETHERS : My name is Ray
5 Wethers . I live at 335 Oak Street in
6 Cutchogue . And I would like to see the
7 moratorium extended . First, the type of
8 work you ' re completing in your
9 comprehensive review of the zoning,
10 completes ( inaudible ) . Supposedly those
11 moratorium ( inaudible ) . I think you
12 would need at least 12 months past the
13 completion of your first goal in order
14 to be able to plan the use of the
15 remainder of the East End, which is no
16 more than 23 square mile . I counted the
17 number of possibilities for completing
18 complexes like some of the expansion of
19 restaurants and motel . There ' s 57 .
20 That would be a tremendous building
21 effort and impact on the sustainability
22 of the North Fork . You ' ve described a
23 number of the constraints for the
24 sustainability of the North Fork in your
25 work that you have done and published in
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 44
1 the Town . And I think you should stage
2 your activities . The moratorium first
3 to complete the zoning classification,
4 then 12 months more for you to consider
5 the development of these proposed motels
6 develop, really a comprehensive
7 development of motels and a church
8 attraction . I think you should also
9 consider the ability to extend that if
10 you still feel that you ' re not at the
11 point you want to be in your planning,
12 to extend it another month on a simple
13 vote of the Board . I would like -- one
14 of the reasons that I have come forward
15 with this is , that at some time past,
16 Supervisor Krupski described some of the
17 efforts that had been done informing and
18 the development of the East End . It was
19 a business model that associated itself
20 with individuals , the State of New York,
21 local organizations and farmers who
22 acted together to react against markets
23 and other factors that affected their
24 very livelihood . And because of
25 cooperation within that group, this was
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 45
1 allowed to proceed, expand and has been
2 fruitful . But what we see now is
3 limited partnerships , limited liability
4 partnerships , of which when they buy a
5 property in an R-40 area, they can ' t
6 even -- they can ' t live there . It ' s a
7 business . They have to assign the
8 rights to something in order for a
9 person to even live there . It doesn ' t
10 meet a single family . A partnership is
11 not a family . The other component that
12 I seem to realize now is that the
13 portion that comes to you with their
14 proposal , the partnership that comes to
15 you, may not be the principal factor of
16 the partnership . You sometimes see the
17 only -- shared partnership can have
18 multiple components . You see today in
19 Mattituck and the Szilovia ' s Group, you
20 see the operational component . The
21 major stockholder or the major partner,
22 you don ' t see . You see the operational
23 component and have to deal with it and
24 you do not -- you can ' t deal with the
25 principal stockholder in that
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 46
1 partnership . And I think those are very
2 serious limitations when you ' re looking
3 at the sustainability of 23 square
4 miles . So I think you need time . A
5 number of people have talked about the
6 impact upon the resources of this Town .
7 I think we ' ve been saturated in the
8 Building Department and the resources of
9 this Town for years . This is not going
10 on now . It has been -- this has been --
11 we ' ve been under this pressure for
12 years . And that needs to -- you may
13 need to make changes in the processes of
14 this Town in order to deal with the
15 results of the Zoning change . And then
16 the methods by which you incorporate the
17 proposals for hotels and whatnot, and
18 even to limit that on the basis of
19 sustainability . I think the job is much
20 larger than 12 months . I suggest that
21 the moratorium go on for at least 24
22 months on the development or you
23 complete the zone . And I think you
24 should have the ability to extend that
25 moratorium for another 12 months based
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 47
1 on simple vote of this Board . I think
2 there are also factors that could affect
3 the business model that occur in the tax
4 laws for the Federal Government in 2025
5 there may be others at the State . I do
6 think you should take the time and
7 address this . We have already seen the
8 number of areas in the nation,
9 nationwide , that have been impacted by
10 people who move out and didn ' t protect
11 themselves . This is a very unique
12 place . Never more unique than when I
13 realized that last night, I ' ve been
14 sleeping in Texas in 86 degree weather,
15 where that was the high tip, that was
16 the coldest temperature of the day . And
17 here you have a natural environment that
18 you can actually enjoy . We don ' t need a
19 dome over it . But thank you very much .
20 I hope that -- I hope you will extend
21 the moratorium to full two years .
22 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
23 you .
24 GEORGE MAUL : Hello . My name is
25 George Maul . I ' m a resident of New
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 48
1 Suffolk . The letter that Charlie read
2 from the Combined Civics was submitted
3 to you more than a month ago . In
4 response to that letter, Ms . Lanza came
5 up to a work session, and she gave a lot
6 of great statistics showing that
7 development really isn ' t accelerating on
8 the North Fork . They were really
9 detailed and I think it was really great
10 to get that kind of information from the
11 Planning Department . Since that time ,
12 the Zoning Advisory Committee has been
13 doing really great work in moving
14 forward on the 13 goals in the
15 Comprehensive Plan . It ' s a huge amount
16 of work to accomplish . It ' s a 600 page
17 plan . 300 pages of verbiage and 300
18 pages of statistics . A lot of great
19 stuff in there . And the Zoning Advisory
20 Committee has been meeting every other
21 week . Last Wednesday they met, and They
22 looked at Mattituck and Cutchogue . Just
23 the, you know, those two hamlets . So it
24 seems to me like we need more time than
25 the three proposed sessions that Heather
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 49
1 has come up with to discuss just the
2 hamlets individually . What ' s happening
3 there? I mean, one of the goals in the
4 Comprehensive Plan is walkable hamlets .
5 And, you know, if you go to Cutchogue ,
6 it ' s easy to see how the deli ' s and
7 stores have gone away and turned into
8 real estates . And the banks have turned
9 into real estates . And the florist ' s
10 shop is a construction company . And,
11 you know, we ' re losing the walkable
12 hamlet . The thing that about Greenport
13 is so great is the walkable nature of
14 it . And we need to somehow help our
15 hamlets become more walkable . We need
16 incentives for that . And the Zoning
17 Advisory Committee is just getting to
18 that one issue . So I ' m here to say that
19 the Zoning Advisory Committee needs more
20 time . It means more sessions . The way
21 that it ' s being run now, I would
22 respectfully like to request that it be
23 opened up . So there could be public
24 comment at the end of those meetings .
25 The way it ' s being run now, Heather has
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 50
1 a rope up, you know, to separate the
2 committee from the public . If there ' s
3 more than one conversation going on, she
4 stops that conversation . I was there --
5 I was there last week . And All asked me
6 ask a question, and I didn ' t feel like I
7 could answer because I didn ' t want to ,
8 you know, speak out of turn . So I would
9 respectfully like to request that at
10 some point those great meetings be
11 opened up for comments to the public .
12 Heather has said that we can submit
13 comments to the zoning update address ,
14 but that ' s a very cold process . You
15 know, all great projects are
16 accomplished by people in groups of like
17 5 to 12 people who come together and use
18 all of their different skills to
19 accomplish great things that are greater
20 than the sum of the individual people in
21 that -- in that process . And we need to
22 have that kind of open and bold process
23 to -- I don ' t really feel , you know, the
24 Town has said that they ' re going to be
25 really transparent and the community is
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 51
1 dying to be involved and help the
2 process . And, you know, what I saw
3 today with the, what Mike Verity said
4 about the Big House Code, I mean, you
5 know, the combined civics did a huge
6 amount of work over a year to help that
7 process , and Mike said it ' s working .
8 So, you know, let ' s continue that
9 process . We can -- the residents , there
10 are so many people in the Town of
11 Southold with great skills and they ' re
12 willing to help . So it would be really
13 great if we could keep that process
14 open . That will help -- you know if we
15 can ' t keep it open, we ' re going to need
16 a broader moratorium and we ' re going to
17 need more time . If we have people that
18 are willing to work and help, let ' s do
19 that work . Let ' s get that help . And
20 Let ' s go forward in that way . I just
21 want to say one more thing . I found
22 this full page ad in one of the
23 lifestyle magazines that ' s dropped off
24 at King Kullen . And it says , "Crush
25 Your Zoning Project . " And it ' s an
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 52
1 advertisement from a bunch -- a real
2 estate law firm, Adam Miller, Denise
3 Scherne , Brian Los Gascosco, and Haley
4 Willis . Denise ' s former Town Attorney
5 for Sag Harbor . And, you know, this is
6 a full page ad on, you know, on how you
7 can hire this law firm to get what you
8 want . And I ' m just amazed that there
9 are piles of these in King Kullen . And,
10 you know, I just want -- you know, if
11 Paul knows any of these people, please
12 let him know that the residents of the
13 Town of Southold are willing to fight
14 for the beautiful community that we have
15 up here . And greed is not going to be
16 the way that this Town goes . We welcome
17 business . It ' s part of the
18 Comprehensive Plan . But any large
19 project that wants to come in here and
20 just like turn a quick buck, and then
21 send it over to mergers and acquisitions
22 for the next owner group to own, that ' s
23 not what we want here . And I heard a
24 quote from somebody . I don ' t know what
25 was and said that there ' s a big
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 53
1 difference between growing pumpkins and
2 having a resort with pumpkins in the
3 front yard . So, you know, this , if you
4 see this ad in the lifestyle magazines ,
5 let ' s remember that the lifestyle on the
6 North Fork is not the same as the
7 lifestyle in Virginia . Thank you .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
9 you .
10 JEN HARTNAGLE : Hi , good evening .
11 My name is Jen Hartnagle and I ' m
12 speaking on behalf of the group for the
13 East End . I ' m here tonight to lend our
14 support for the moratorium. The group
15 at the previous hearing supported a
16 broader moratorium that we advocated
17 should have encompassed additional types
18 of developments , because we felt and we
19 still do, that it ' s a legally permitted
20 and warranted action . Given the fact
21 that the Town is underway with a
22 thorough review of the Zoning Code ;
23 however, we also certainly support the
24 moratorium on the hotel and resort uses .
25 So that a rational review of the
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 54
1 Planning and Zoning issues associated
2 with this type of development is
3 completed within the Zoning Code update .
4 The North Fork is really at a turning
5 point . I think we all know that, in
6 terms of development . And now is the
7 appropriate time to really get this work
8 completed, and to make sure that the
9 Comp Plan is implemented as it was
10 intended . I also want to argue not to
11 exempt redevelopment applications that
12 was just previously requested . That
13 would completely undermine the purpose
14 of what you ' re trying to achieve here .
15 That site specifically is a complete
16 tear down . It ' s not an innocuous reuse
17 of the site . So for all these reasons ,
18 we respectfully ask that you support
19 this moratorium at a minimum -- at a
20 minimum, and work to finish the Comp
21 Plan update as soon as possible . Thank
22 you for the opportunity to speak
23 tonight .
24 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
25 you . Anyone else like to speak?
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 55
1 (No Response ) .
2 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Do we
3 have any hands up on the Zoom platform?
4 (No Response ) .
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All
6 right . Seeing none --
7 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : I make a
8 motion we close the Public Hearing .
9 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Second .
10 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All in
11 favor to close?
12 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : Aye .
13 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Aye .
14 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Aye .
15 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Aye .
16 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Aye .
17 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Aye .
18 So is there a motion to approve it
19 as written?
20 PAUL DECHANCE : Mr . Supervisor, if
21 I may, if the Board will move forward
22 with this , I ' ll ask that the Board adopt
23 a SEQRA determination first .
24 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
25 you .
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 56
1 PAUL DECHANCE : And in the motion
2 of adoption, it would be very specific
3 about the duration of the motion being
4 adopted .
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
6 you .
7 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : So I ' ll
8 make a motion that we adopt a Type 2
9 determination under SEQRA for a 12 month
10 moratorium .
11 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Second .
12 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All in
13 favor?
14 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : Aye .
15 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Aye .
16 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Aye .
17 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Aye .
18 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Aye .
19 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Aye .
20 Is there a motion to act on it?
21 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Motion .
22 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Second .
23 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : I just
24 want to make sure, and I just like to
25 say in, I ' d like to thank everyone for
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 57
1 coming to speak on this tonight . And I
2 understand the call for a broader
3 moratorium and I think people understand
4 the complications with that . And I just
5 want to address the -- there ' s two
6 things . Well , one, is that the zoning
7 update this Board is committed to
8 completing the zoning update in March
9 because we feel like we to drag that out
10 for longer, I feel like the past
11 supervisor and past Town Board did a
12 really good job of launching this zoning
13 update process . Hiring a consultant,
14 and setting up a Task Force Committee to
15 review different parts , and the hamlet
16 part was mentioned tonight . So any
17 comment now is welcome . The consultant
18 has not issued any recommendations yet
19 to change, but they ' re considering
20 things that were sent in, and they ' re
21 considering things that the Planning
22 Department and also of course working
23 with a with a Task Force are reviewing .
24 When those recommendations are made
25 there ' ll be -- there ' s 19 zoning
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 58
1 categories , if there ' s any
2 recommendations made for changes in land
3 use, you know, we really do welcome
4 public comment on any of those, because
5 I think that ' s one that ' s going to be
6 very impactful , if changes are made to
7 the land uses in those zones , or if any
8 zones are going to be eliminated . I
9 haven ' t heard that yet , but anything
10 certainly is possible . If you look at
11 the current land uses that are allowed
12 versus the current land use today, you
13 know, they can be quite different . And
14 I would encourage anyone to go to the
15 next Zoning Update Meeting, and I would
16 suffer the rope you ' re on . You can take
17 a look and get an idea of how it ' s going
18 because you should be, you know, we need
19 a lot of public participation . And at
20 the very least we ' re going to make all
21 the definitions throughout the code
22 consistent because over time the
23 definitions haven ' t been . So we want to
24 make it clear for everyone . So I ' d just
25 like to thank everyone for their
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 59
1 participation .
2 We have a motion and a second . So
3 please call the vote .
4 DENIS NONCARROW : Councilman
5 Doroski ?
6 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : So before
7 I vote, I ' d just like to say that, you
8 know, although the gentleman did make a
9 compelling argument to maybe consider
10 exempting redevelopment sites , which you
11 know is a goal of smart growth . You
12 know, reusing existing parcels and
13 existing development, one of the
14 challenges we faced going back, you
15 know, early in this discussion, even
16 looking at exempting new development
17 projects versus existing development
18 projects , is really a tension between
19 creating a moratorium that may be a bit
20 too restrictive and really preventing
21 anything from happening or one that is
22 too -- too open and really doesn ' t do
23 anything . I think one of the challenges
24 specifically as we look at redevelopment
25 is a lot of the parcels that , you know,
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 60
1 rumors are swirling around about
2 development, particularly on the
3 waterfront , have existing development
4 there and could make a compelling
5 argument that they are redevelopment
6 when, in fact , they really are a change
7 of use . And I do believe that the
8 appeal process is probably the best way
9 to make sure that the goals of this
10 moratorium are achieved . And I would,
11 you know, I would welcome any applicant
12 that thinks that they have a good
13 argument to appeal for relief under this
14 as , you know, redevelopment that should
15 be considered within this 12 month
16 period, to submit an application to the
17 Town Board . It ' s my firm belief that
18 the Town Board should be the one that ' s
19 hearing these appeals because this is
20 our moratorium. And it ' s something that
21 we ' ve really struggled with and really,
22 I think, put a lot of good time and
23 thought into it . I do -- just to
24 quickly address the kind of call for a
25 broader moratorium, I think there ' s a
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 61
1 lot of legitimate concern about the pace
2 of development in Southold Town, but as
3 we look at the hard numbers that Heather
4 provided, there ' s not really one
5 individual use that really rises to the
6 level of requiring a pretty -- you know,
7 moratoriums are -- you know, a pretty
8 significant tool . And just applying a
9 broad moratorium on any development
10 could have a really detrimental impact
11 to the economy of Southold Town . And I
12 think this moratorium, as we ' ve crafted
13 it, really addresses a threat that our
14 community is facing that is supported in
15 the number of applications that have
16 been submitted, and the rumors swirling
17 about applications that may be down the
18 road . So I vote , yes , for this
19 moratorium . And thank my colleagues on
20 the Board for really what has been
21 months of discussion about this . The
22 Planning Department , and the community .
23 You know, some of these early sessions ,
24 you know, we have a very engaged
25 community that really helped shape these
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 62
1 discussions . And I ' m very hopeful for
2 these zoning updates that we enact , that
3 this community input, that this Board
4 that we have here, our Planning
5 Department , the right people are here
6 for the job . Thank you . I vote, yes .
7 DENIS NONCARROW : Councilman Mealy?
8 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : I too just
9 want to quickly comment . I ' m so
10 appreciative of the local civics , as
11 Supervisor Krupski and Councilman
12 Doroski said . We have super engaged
13 citizens , and it ' s been such a pleasure
14 to go to your civic meetings , whether
15 it ' s Cutchogue or Mattituck Civic or the
16 Southold Peconic . I ' ve learned and
17 tried to be a student of the community
18 and I just appreciate so much your work
19 concurrently as we deal with these
20 difficult issues . And I do feel as has
21 been mentioned, that a general
22 moratorium is an important tool in our
23 toolbox, but I think at the point the
24 juncture that we ' re at now, we need a
25 strategic strike at something that is
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 63
1 troubling the expansion of resorts and
2 hotels . So I think the Town is correct
3 in our current position . That
4 strategically, right now, it ' s resorts
5 and hotels that must be looked at . But
6 I ' m not opposed to looking at additional
7 tools . We were trying to open our
8 understanding . I don ' t know everything .
9 I will freely admit , I don ' t know
10 everything, but I want to learn . We
11 have a pretty good team. I ' m just
12 blessed to have the leadership of
13 Supervisor Krupski , who has so much
14 understanding on the County and State
15 level . We all want to be engaged and
16 be -- you know, somebody told me the
17 Board needs to be agile, and somebody
18 else said the Board needs to be nimble .
19 I want to be agile and responsive to the
20 things that are kind of coming towards
21 us , and I think we ' re on the right
22 track . And you have to help us keep on
23 the right track . So I vote, yes , aye ,
24 for this .
25 DENIS NONCARROW : Councilwoman
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 64
1 Smith?
2 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Also to
3 echo some of the comments that we just
4 heard . Particularly the issue that we
5 heard Councilman Doroski talk about,
6 which was redevelopment . I think the
7 own is working really hard on multiple
8 fronts . So this is one tool that is a
9 strategic strike , and I think a really
10 important one that we can really use as
11 a tool and keep that zoning work going,
12 but at the same time, be sure we ' re
13 looking at building trust with the
14 community around practices and
15 procedures around Special Exceptions ,
16 around cleaning up our codes . So please
17 be assured that we are in the -- at the
18 same time that the zoning work is being
19 done , we are also quickly and nimbly
20 working at trying to help stave off the
21 other issues around the pressure of
22 development . It ' s not that long ago
23 that I would have been Charlie on the
24 other side of the podium asking for a
25 broader moratorium working with our
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 65
1 civics . But sitting on this side, I ' ve
2 come to understand that there ' s a more
3 complex nuanced kind of decision making
4 that we have to keep in mind and pay
5 attention to . Most in so many of our
6 discussions right now are around issues
7 around families being able to stay
8 around priorities around developing,
9 intergenerational , diverse housing .
10 Supporting local businesses who are
11 really trying to not only stay here and
12 thrive, but be able to hire the staff
13 and employees that they need . So I just
14 want to assure everyone we are working
15 hard on all fronts . I keep saying it ' s
16 like we ' re Penn Station and all the
17 trains are on time . We ' re working hard,
18 and we appreciate the engagement and any
19 honest of open feedback you can give us .
20 And I vote , yes .
21 DENIS NONCARROW : Councilwoman
22 Doherty?
23 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : Aye .
24 DENIS NONCARROW : Justice Evans ?
25 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Yes .
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 66
1 DENIS NONCARROW : Supervisor
2 Krupski ?
3 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Aye .
4 DENIS NONCARROW : This resolution
5 has passed . Thank you .

7 PUBLIC COMMENTS
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Is
9 there anyone who ' d like to speak to any
10 matter?
11 DAVE BERGEN : Dave Bergen from
12 Cutchogue . I was just looking for an
13 update on where we are with developing
14 code regarding prohibiting the clear
15 cutting of lots for construction of
16 house or business?
17 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Say
18 that again, Dave , I ' m sorry?
19 DAVE BERGEN : -- code development
20 to address clear cutting of lots?
21 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : I was
22 working with Julie the Assistant Town
23 Attorney the other day . And she just
24 e-mailed the update to myself and we
25 have a couple questions from Planning
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 67
1 because we want to make sure it melds
2 with the subdivision cycling codes and I
3 will be asking the Town Board to review
4 it hopefully in July, we can move
5 forward with it . We will probably have
6 to go to the Code Committee after that,
7 but the Town Board has not seen the 14th
8 revision that we ' re at now . So it ' s
9 getting that close to handing it to
10 them .
11 DAVE BERGEN : I appreciate that
12 because it ' s been a long time coming .
13 And I just like to commend for anybody
14 who ' s interested in what the right thing
15 to do is . There was a gentleman who
16 bought a large piece of property on
17 Nassau Point Road recently . And he had
18 a company come in and it was a large lot
19 that hadn ' t been touched in years . And
20 he very carefully took out invasive
21 species , trimmed the dead stuff out . So
22 that the healthy trees will survive .
23 And it was a great example of what I ' m
24 hoping the code will address the ability
25 to trim out invasive species , to trim
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 68
1 trees , the dead stuff . So that the live
2 trees will survive .
3 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : So you
4 can enjoy the trees in your lifetime .
5 DAVE BERGEN : Yes . Thank you .
6 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
7 you . Anyone else like to speak?
8 ERIC MCCLURE : Good evening . Eric
9 McClure , Westview Drive in Mattituck .
10 Thanks for hearing me out a couple weeks
11 ago about the noise from Strong ' s Water
12 Club and Windermere . I realized I
13 neglected to also mention the last
14 meeting, that in addition to increasing
15 the number of live music events this
16 season from about 50 to about 80 , they
17 also pushed the start time back for the
18 evenings from 6 o ' clock to 6 : 30 . So
19 they ' re going 6 : 30 to 9 : 30 now instead
20 of 6 : 00 to 9 : 00 , as they were last year .
21 And on this past Saturday night when the
22 band finished for the first time at
23 9 : 30 , I could hear the band leader
24 saying, are we going to get in trouble
25 if we go a little longer? And then some
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 69
1 guy yelling, it ' s only 9 : 44 . And so
2 they went on until about 9 : 50 . Very
3 loudly . I filed a Code Complaint on
4 Saturday evening and also the previous
5 Sunday evening, where they were really
6 up against the code level , about 65 ,
7 hitting around 65 decibels . But also ,
8 again, just penetrating through the
9 walls . So I just wanted to provide that
10 update . And also just note that I know
11 you folks this evening approved a number
12 of special activity permits for wineries
13 to hold a wedding or two during the
14 Summer . We are essentially getting at
15 least a wedding reception two or three
16 times a week with the attendant music
17 that goes on for several hours . So it
18 seems like the two should probably align
19 in some way that a business like Strong
20 should not be able to just decide when
21 and where, and how loudly they ' re going
22 to have entertainment . So thanks very
23 much .
24 PAUL DECHANCE : Mr . Supervisor, if
25 I may?
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 70
1 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes ,
2 sir .
3 PAUL DECHANCE : Mr . McClure, by the
4 way, thank you very much for submitting
5 the most recent Code Complaint Form. In
6 reviewing them, I ' m noting that when the
7 application asks you for when the
8 offending music or event occurred, what
9 you ' re doing is you ' re just listening
10 out the business hours , and what that
11 leads to me is either one or two things .
12 The music starts immediately and just
13 goes to the end or you ' re just listing
14 it out for us to -- it ' s very difficult
15 to respond to something, if you don ' t
16 let us know when primarily the offending
17 noise is . We would like to go to your
18 area and also to Strong ' s during those
19 time periods to assess the situation .
20 It ' s sometimes as confounding that there
21 are several hundred houses there, yet
22 you ' re the only one that ' s complaining .
23 And I don ' t know whether or not you ' re
24 here on behalf of many other people, or
25 you ' re the only one that it ' s affecting .
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 71
1 I ' m trying to get a better feel for the
2 situation .
3 ERIC MCCLURE : I think John Mara
4 addressed that a little bit last time ,
5 that he too, was kind of surprised that
6 more people in our community .
7 PAUL DECHANCE : Last year, it was
8 only you . We did see Mr . Mara this
9 year .
10 ERIC MCCLURE : Yeah . And so I know
11 at least in one case, my next door
12 neighbor ' s son-in-law is an employee of
13 Strong ' s . And I think she ' s very
14 reticent to come forward and complain
15 about it because of the possibility of
16 some kind of perceived possibility of
17 some blow back .
18 PAUL DECHANCE : You know, is this
19 an issue that ' s discussed within your
20 local civic? Or any other entity?
21 ERIC MCCLURE : I have not raised it
22 with Matt at the Laurel Civic . I think
23 John Mara had said that he had many
24 times with Charlie who was here earlier .
25 I have not brought it to their
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 72
1 attention . I certainly could do that .
2 We have a Homeowners Association, but I
3 have not pushed them hard on it because
4 Jeff Strong is a member of the
5 Homeowners Association . In fact, on
6 Saturday night after the music, finally
7 I went out for a walk and noted that
8 there were about 10 cars in front of the
9 Strong ' s house . So they were
10 entertaining on Saturday night, which we
11 really couldn ' t do because of the level
12 of music volume coming across the wire .
13 I have talked to a couple of neighbors
14 about it . The former neighbors on the
15 other side , several years ago, this was
16 going back probably early on when
17 Strong ' s took ownership of the property .
18 There were about seven or eight of us
19 who had a meeting with Supervisor
20 Russell at the time . And my two
21 neighbors on the other side both have
22 passed away . The one of them very
23 recently . People -- other people moved .
24 We had a neighbor who was renting a
25 house a couple doors down and she was
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 73
1 really, I think ended up moving because
2 of the sound . So I mean, I certainly
3 can reach out to more neighbors and see
4 if they want to sign a petition or
5 something that effect .
6 PAUL DECHANCE : As you know last
7 year, my office was proactive, I
8 believe , and in sitting down with Jeff
9 Strong and sitting down and listening to
10 what the issues were . It remains a
11 priority; however, when we look at a
12 Code Complaint and it just lists
13 business hours , it ' s not as helpful as
14 it could be . I ' d like you to be in the
15 future when you ' re submitting those,
16 just a little bit more specific . It
17 will alert us to when to monitor
18 ourselves .
19 ERIC MCCLURE : Sure , okay . I know
20 that the form -- I believe the form asks
21 for when this type of activity occurs .
22 And so I think I ' ve just been putting
23 the hours .
24 PAUL DECHANCE : Office hours -- I
25 mean, the business hours .
JUNE 18, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 74
1 ERIC MCCLURE : The hours of when
2 they play music, which is 6 : 30 to 9 : 30
3 or 12 : 00 to 3 : 00 on Sunday afternoon .
4 Because depending on the band, it ' s an
5 issue for the three hours that they ' re
6 scheduled to play . Some are quieter,
7 whoever they had playing on Sunday
8 afternoon was not very loud . I couldn ' t
9 hear it much, so it wasn ' t a problem.
10 But often, depending on the band that
11 they have, it will be loud when they
12 start, and it will be loud for three
13 hours until they stop . But I ' ll try to
14 pinpoint that a little bit more . And I
15 really -- our door is always opened if
16 anybody wants to come experience it . I
17 know -- I hate being the complainer
18 coming out here, and talking about it .
