SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 4
1 have two more things as well . Sorry .

13 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes .
14 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Today, I can
15 hear you all very clearly up on the
16 dais . I don ' t know what change was
17 made , but it was wonderful to actually
18 have everyone ' s voice, very audible .
19 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Oh,
20 that ' s really important .
21 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : Yeah, I
22 think the technicians were here last
23 week or so and had to redo some wiring,
24 and I remember seeing an e-mail , and
25 something, so -- and I know we ' ve been
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 6
1 cognizant of speaking right into the
2 microphone .
3 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
4 you, Louisa .
5 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : It really
6 was -- the first time in a long time
7 that everyone ' s been up at the dais , and
8 I ' ve heard . I don ' t know how someone
9 being audience member coming up because
10 I have to say when people were clapping
11 for Captain -- Chief Grattan, I couldn ' t
12 hear the clapping at all . I could just
13 see the motion . The dais was very
14 clear .
15 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Good .
16 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : I ' ll make a
17 motion to adjourn .
18 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Not
19 quite . You can ' t see on the camera, we

16 PUBLIC COMMENTS
17 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All
18 right, now that the regular meeting ' s
19 over, is there anyone who ' d like to
20 address the Board on any matter? Thank
21 you for your patience .
22 FRANK MACKEN : My name is Frank
23 Macken, Sterling Avenue, Greenport . So
24 I was really disturbed to hear about the
25 situation in Vineyard View with the
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 8
1 mobile situation, the health . And I
2 was just wondering, I know that I saw
3 a comment from you, that you were --
4 you had spoken to the tenants . And I
5 was looking for an update on that . I
6 haven ' t seen -- I ' ve seen -- the only
7 letters that I ' ve seen to the Suffolk
8 Times have been from actual relatives ,
9 which is , you know, eye-opening in the
10 south . So I ' m just concerned this is a
11 very vulnerable population . I have many
12 years of experience in the Affordable
13 Housing community in New York, and I
14 know that they are -- most often feel
15 quite powerless . And they don ' t have
16 the resources or the knowledge to
17 defend themselves , and to approach
18 things . So I was wondering what
19 resources are available to them in
20 Southold Town? I ' m glad to hear the
21 Southold Town is finally making some
22 progress on Affordable Housing, which
23 has been a really savvy lacking in
24 years past . But given that this
25 project -- this , you know, affordable
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 9
1 project was approved by Southold Town,
2 I feel that Southold has a duty of care
3 to these tenants to look out for them .
4 And I was wondering -- like I mean, for
5 instance, if this happened in the City,
6 the Board of Health would get involved,
7 the Department of Buildings would get
8 involved . A lot of people would get
9 involved . Children ' s health is being
10 damaged and their children, elderly
11 people . Anybody else who live with
12 mold . And the fact that they ' re being
13 essentially deported to Manorville or
14 beyond while this is being repaired,
15 and these are people who presumably
16 their children go to Greenport High
17 School . And my wife is an educator,
18 and she pointed out that, like of
19 course, there ' s a massive disruption
20 that happens there, if they ' re
21 displaced, you know, 50 miles west ,
22 then, you know, their children ' s
23 education is affected and everything .
24 So I ' m just wondering -- I guess ,
25 what Southold Town is doing, has
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 10
1 done? I know it probably involves the
2 County Board of Health, but what
3 procedures are in place on whether, you
4 know -- like for instance , the tenants ,
5 did they feel they were able to come to
6 Southold Town and get the appropriate
7 information? Was there outreach
8 before this happened? If something
9 like this happens , you should contact
10 such and such . I mean, those kind of
11 things are really important for people
12 like that .
13 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Sure .
14 So this was built a number of years ago .
15 I don ' t know when it was approved by the
16 town, if there was any direct oversight
17 put in place by the town . I don ' t
18 think there was , as it ' s a private
19 business . When we became aware of the
20 problems there, Councilwoman Smith and I
21 went , the Deputy Supervisor of the
22 Government Liaison and the Chief
23 Building Inspector, and we met with a
24 number of the residents . And we took a
25 look at one of -- their clubhouse area
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 11
1 and also one of the residences , one of
2 the apartments . And we noticed the
3 conditions that had kind of accumulated
4 there over the years . So we have been
5 in contact with the company who built it
6 and is managing it . Part of the problem
7 is there ' s no supervisor who lives on
8 site . And so to have someone to conduct
9 maintenance there on site is problematic
10 for this company . They have been trying
11 to rectify that . I have not been back .
12 I don ' t know if any other Board members
13 have been back to see it because we
14 don ' t have direct supervision . We took
15 the Chief Building Inspector because
16 we ' re not building inspectors . But we
17 did notice the mold, we noticed what
18 seemed to be a defect in some of the
19 mechanicals there . And the company --
20 and we advocated on behalf of the
21 residents to your point of trying to
22 displace people for weeks at a time,
23 while everything ' s being fixed and
24 remediated . And not just painted, but
25 actually remediated . Is disruptive,
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 12
1 especially, and you mentioned the
2 children and school . Also they -- some
3 of them said they worked at Greenport
4 Hospital . So you can ' t -- it ' s kind of
5 impossible . So we ' ve been advocating
6 for them to have them moved locally .
7 Now I don ' t know if Councilman Smith who
8 was there would like to add anything to
9 that?
10 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Yeah, I
11 would just add, I know our government
12 liaison has been in continuous contact
13 with them since those meetings with
14 follow up and connecting them with
15 resources for advocacy, as well as ,
16 making sure that the promises that were
17 made by the company are getting done .
18 Are getting attended to in terms of all
19 of the different things that the tenants
20 were sharing with us . But I haven ' t
21 been physically back there, but I ' m
22 pretty sure that government liaison has
23 been back . And we do plan to
24 continually monitor and follow up . I
25 ran to one of the residents , actually,
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 13
1 when she was working at the hospital .
2 And she did say, you know, they ' re
3 trying hard to keep her here , because
4 she can ' t relocate far away while the
5 work is done . And so far, she ' s been
6 able to stay local . So it warrants a
7 lot of our attention and it ' s really
8 concerning to us .
9 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : One of
10 the -- and one of the provisions ,
11 anything over 35 units now by County
12 Law, they have to have a supervisors
13 unit on site . So that someone, because
14 if someone lives there , you know,
15 they ' re going to take more ownership in
16 conditions that are there and things
17 will be addressed quicker .
18 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : I do know
19 they have someone there now doing
20 maintenance . They don ' t live there, but
21 they are there just dedicated to that
22 location . At least they were for a
23 while . So we can follow up on that
24 too .
25 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : And
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 14
1 they ' re looking into, because there are
2 so many units to have to convert one
3 because the sources of funding for
4 these things are very complicated . It ' s
5 kind of a web of funding that helps to
6 build these . And there ' s a lot of
7 conditions on -- therefore on who can
8 live there . And they ' re seeing if they
9 can possibly unwind that a bit . So
10 that because you want a supervisors unit
11 on site that isn ' t connected to income
12 limits , and whatnot . You need someone
13 who ' s just going to be the employee
14 there . That ' d be helpful for security
15 and for maintenance .
16 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : And I
17 want to speak to a little of the --
18 since I was a member of previous board .
19 This site, like the Supervisor said, was
20 a private company . It didn ' t need to
21 come to the Town for a change of zone .
22 It just needed the normal building
23 process and Health Department process .
24 And the applicants had to -- although
25 they had to go by our qualifications ,
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 15
1 the Town did not have any hand in that
2 process . Any future Affordable Housing
3 projects will be vetted through the
4 Town and go through our process , and
5 there will be some oversight . And
6 we ' re set with the Housing Plan, and
7 we ' re setting some pretty strict
8 vetting conversations and vetting tools
9 to make sure that something like this is
10 not able to happen once we approve
11 something for the future .
12 FRANK MACKEN : Yeah, it ' s -- it ' s
13 really a problem . I mean I saw it when
14 it was -- I watched it when it was being
15 built and it looked like it was pretty,
16 pretty cheaply built . And I wasn ' t
17 entirely enamored of the of the site
18 where it dips down from the road is
19 surrounded by wetlands there too . The
20 other thing about it I think in terms of
21 Affordable Housing -- creating these
22 Affordable Housing areas is that they
23 really need to be close the urban
24 center . I mean, I see those people
25 walking along day and night and it ' s
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 16
1 quite dangerous . Walking just to get
2 somewhere people who don ' t have cars .
3 Walking back, you know, if they work in
4 the village or just to buy groceries or
5 whatever . So I think I heard that you
6 had a project possibly coming up on Love
7 Lane or in that area .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes ,
9 we ' re working with the owner of that
10 building there . He ' s going to create 12
11 apartments .
12 FRANK MACKEN : The one on the
13 corner?
14 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes ,
15 it ' s a reuse of an existing site . It ' s
16 an ideal location . I actually went to
17 Yaphank to meet with the Health
18 Department last week to try to help him
19 with the applicant . To try to help him
20 through the wastewater process . So
21 we ' re doing everything we can to help
22 him create those small apartments ,
23 affordable and perpetuity in an area
24 where people can walk to work .
25 FRANK MACKEN : That ' s really
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 17
1 important, yeah . I ' m glad to see that
2 the stigma that attached for so many
3 years to Affordable Housing, they ' re
4 Section VIII . There ' s -- whatever .
5 They ' re not like us , in fact , they are
6 us , at an every point . And life of
7 people who need to leg up and to get
8 established, the kind of people who
9 staff, who join the fire department as
10 volunteers . And we all know that now .
11 It ' s -- but for many years that was just
12 ignored .
13 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY : There ' s
14 still that stigma out there, and we ' re
15 fighting every day . I like to use the
16 term Workforce Housing instead of
17 Affordable , ' cause that kind of explains
18 it a little better, but yeah, people are
19 getting more involved in it and
20 educating themselves on it .
21 FRANK MACKEN : Yeah, NIMBY has been
22 such a destructive force, but hopefully
23 that it ' s weakening at this point, where
24 people see the actual need . Well , thank
25 you very much . I appreciate all your
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 18
1 efforts .
2 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Thank you,
3 Frank .
4 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thanks
5 for coming .
6 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Yeah, and
7 thank you for raising the issue . It is
8 really important .
9 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : If you
10 have any other questions , reach out to
11 my office .
12 FRANK MACKEN : Okay . Thank you .
13 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Is
14 there anyone on the Zoom that would like
15 to address the Board on any matter? Do
16 not see any hands up . Stevenson,
17 welcome Tom.
18 TOM STEVENSON : I wasn ' t going to
19 speak on Vineyard View, but I would
20 point out that Vineyard View got $ 5
21 million from the State of New York and
22 over $200 , 000 from the Town of Southold .
23 If that matters , just to update the
24 record . I listened to the Town Board
25 Work Session . Thank you for the Zoom
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 19
1 again . Makes us residents able to be
2 participants in the deliberations of the
3 Town . The Zoning update, you know, the
4 AG Community is still waiting for draft
5 language on any changes or any
6 consultation with the AG Advisory
7 Committee . We haven ' t had any to date .
8 I don ' t know if we ' re going to see
9 anything tomorrow . It doesn ' t sound
10 like it . But came to our attention, the
11 Long Island Farm Bureau was able to read
12 draft language and that was a bit of a
13 slap on the face to me personally and
14 the Advisory Committee . But we ' ll wait
15 patiently until we get to participate in
16 the Zoning update . Next item, the July
17 letter to the County on changing speed
18 limits on County Road 48 . News to me ,
19 you know, I can ' t keep up with
20 everything the Transportation Commission
21 Committee, I ' m not sure which one it is .
22 Listen to Alex from the County . Is
23 there a way that the Town could post the
24 potential of -- the changes to the speed
25 limits on their website? So that
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 20
1 residents and the taxpayers and the
2 citizens can participate in their
3 governmental process? I travel that
4 road every day . I probably did 30 miles
5 on it today, driving kids around . I
6 think, you know, I ' m able to safely
7 follow the speed limits just as they
8 are . They ' ve been lowered in the past .
9 On the State portion of the causeway, we
10 had one resident petition the State and
11 they changed the speed limit . I have a
12 problem with that . I don ' t think that ' s
13 how government should work . I would
14 question the Town process if the
15 Transportation Committee writes a letter
16 to the County . I think they should be
17 advising the Town Board and the Town
18 Board to write a the letter to the
19 County, if they agreed . And then let ' s
20 see -- okay . So yeah -- and then the
21 idea of seasonal speed limits , why not?
22 There ' s electronic signs , you know, with
23 radar on them that could change . You
24 know, like there ' s no reason to restrict
25 us down to 40 miles an hour in the
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 21
1 middle of January when there ' s no one on
2 the road . Try to think out of the box
3 on that . See , you know, like, like Town
4 Beach went from that was sort of
5 seasonable -- seasonal 40 to 50 . I
6 believe they would change it in the
7 Summer . Now it ' s 40 ; however, all
8 passing lanes have been removed . So
9 people doing 30 , you can ' t get around
10 them legally . I don ' t know, if you
11 lower it too much, I think you start to
12 get into a -- I don ' t know . Anyway,
13 thank you for taking it off the agenda
14 today . I did not -- when I looked for
15 the agenda last Thursday, I couldn ' t
16 find it on the Town website . On Friday,
17 it tends to show up . And it wasn ' t on
18 the agenda . It wasn ' t on the work
19 session agenda too . Well , I guess there
20 was a talk about it , but it wasn ' t on
21 the Town Board ' s -- you know, there
22 wasn ' t a resolution . So thank you for
23 delaying that . There ' s absolutely no
24 rush to go ahead and willy-nilly change
25 our speed limits . Okay . And then the
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 22
1 idea of a Town way 30 miles an hour to
2 25 mile an hour, you know -- and then I
3 noticed you guys didn ' t really talk
4 about crosswalks . You have a major
5 problem . To me in Greenport at Moore ' s
6 Lane and Main Road, there are no
7 crosswalks at all . You have Greenport
8 School . The crosswalk is own -- There ' s
9 only one crosswalk . Soundview gets
10 three, but Greenport High School only
11 got one . And there aren ' t any to the
12 7-Eleven . It ' s just an unsafe
13 condition . I think you should be
14 looking at top of Village Lane and Main
15 Road to Young ' s Road . It ' s -- look at
16 it Town-wide . I don ' t have too much
17 else -- I don ' t want to take you too
18 long . Thank you for listening to me, and
19 now I can watch the METs on DVR .
20 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All
21 right . Thank you, Tom . So as far as
22 the zoning update, the AG Advisory is
23 going to get really the first crack at
24 definitions in a draft form. And
25 they ' re the first group to get a crack
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 23
1 at any kind of definitions in the Zoning
2 update process . And we ' re starting with
3 AG Advisory . So when they come out,
4 this is a draft . No other committee has
5 seen anything yet on any other topic .
6 So we ' re going to rely on AG Advisory
7 for advice . As far the other thing you
8 brought up with the speed limit , the
9 County engineers do the warrants on the
10 speed . And so suggestions get made to
11 the County engineers . And I don ' t know
12 what happened with the State , DOT, you
13 said one resident got the speed limit
14 changed . But I know with the County,
15 the engineers have to go through that
16 and they can recommend no action or they
17 could recommend a change . So that ' s
18 been the process there . It ' s been a
19 deliberative process . We put it off
20 because we did want to make sure it was
21 publicized . We did want to make sure
22 that people would have an opportunity to
23 consider the change . And as far as the
24 crosswalks go , I was in a meeting and
25 Supervisor Russell was kind enough to
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 24
1 invite me last year with a Highway
2 Superintendent, Dan Goodwin, with New
3 York State DOT . And the concern there
4 was the crosswalks in Mattituck between
5 the library, the church, and the school ,
6 there ' s three crosswalks . And the State
7 engineers looked at those three
8 crosswalks , and the traffic engineers
9 there are going to -- they ' re going to
10 change it over to two crosswalks that
11 will be ADA compliant . So then there
12 were concerns about the crosswalks in
13 Southold Hamlet . Those crosswalks are
14 being evaluated by the New York State
15 DOT engineers to see if there should be
16 any change in location or additions or
17 subtractions there . Things got added
18 over the years , and the engineers
19 because of traffic flow and patterns and
20 what not, and rates of traffic, they
21 will evaluate them. But it ' s kind of a
22 process where someone makes a concern
23 known to the Town . We can reach out --
24 we don ' t have control over the County or
25 State roads . Those engineers have to do
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 25
1 the work to see if there will be or
2 won ' t be a change . But we have a lot of
3 requests for different things on our
4 roadways . They don ' t always make it to
5 the public forum because there are
6 things that the Town for whatever reason
7 wouldn ' t even consider, but people bring
8 things up all the time . These are just
9 things that, you know, the public sees .
10 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : And just
11 to clarify, any communication with the
12 State or the County does not come
13 directly from the Transportation
14 Commission . It ' s sent to from the
15 Transportation Commission to the Town
16 Board for consideration . And then
17 that ' s who communicates if the Town
18 Board feels it ' s appropriate . And we
19 have a short list of things for all
20 along Route 25 before we just start
21 calling the State in for one thing at a
22 time . We ' re putting a group of things
23 together . So it ' s a meaningful
24 conversation and particularly looking at
25 the safety around crosswalks .
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 26
1 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yeah,
2 traffic safety serious and we ' d like to
3 leave it in the hands of --
4 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : And just
5 in terms of the --
6 TOM STEVENSON : Yeah, people got to
7 slow it down .
8 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Yeah,
9 absolutely . And just back to the AG
10 Advisory . I did reach out to Heather
11 and Heather said she had spoken with the
12 chair, Mr . Sunino about the timeline to
13 receive the updates . She had told him
14 that it would be the first week of
15 October . We met with her today and she
16 said she was on track to do that and
17 hope to actually be getting them over to
18 the committee soon . I don ' t know if you
19 caught in the back and forth that we
20 were having, but we feel that it ' s very,
21 very important that there ' s consensus
22 among the stakeholders before we push
23 this thing forward, and really engage
24 the stakeholders early . And we see this
25 engagement with AG Advisory as being
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 27
1 very important . The overall timeline
2 has been shifted due to a delay by the
3 consultant . So I think that ' s some of
4 the reason that we ' re seeing the update
5 now, even though initially we were
6 hoping for the Summer . But we look
7 forward, as a liaison, look to engage in
8 with AG Advisory on these definitions
9 and engage in with the broader
10 agricultural community in Southold Town,
11 because I think these sort of updates
12 are long overdue , and a long time
13 coming . We ' ve been talking about
14 these updates for a heck of a long time,
15 so .
16 TOM STEVENSON : Great, well , thank
17 you . I don ' t want to take anybody
18 else ' s time for the night and below . Be
19 back in Town Hall tomorrow for
20 in-person, 7 : 00 AG Advisory . Everyone
21 show up . It ' s going to be great .
22 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Hey,
23 Tom, I believe next AG Advisory is
24 noticed for the 2nd, not tomorrow .
25 TOM STEVENSON : Did we kick it?
SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 REGULAR MEETING 28
1 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Yeah .
2 TOM STEVENSON : Okay, well , I ' ll do
3 some mowing .
4 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : I
5 actually just checked it because you
6 said tomorrow, and I was like, ooh, I
7 don ' t have that on my calendar . But it
8 is noticed for the 2nd .
9 TOM STEVENSON : I guess they made a
10 switch on me . I didn ' t see that on my
11 e-mails . But hey, who are we? I have
12 to keep up, people . All righty .
13 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thanks ,
14 Tom.
15 TOM STEVENSON : Good night,
