24 WAIVER HOTEL MORATORIUM - 9025 MAIN
25 ROAD, LLC
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 4
1 TOWN CLERK DENIS NONCARROW : This
2 is a continued public hearing
3 considering a request for a waiver from
4 a Local Law 13 of 2024 entitled a Local
5 Law to impose an interim or temporary
6 suspension on review, approval , and/or
7 issuance of all permits for or
8 relating to new development of resorts ,
9 hotels , or motels in the Town of
10 Southold .
11 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : And
12 Mr . Supervisor, the Applicant ' s Counsel
13 today, Christopher Kent from the Office
14 of Farell Fritz sent a letter to the
15 Town Clerk, which was provided to the
16 Town Board members indicating that they
17 are -- they did not intend to appear
18 today, unless requested and that they
19 are -- they are -- they would consent to
20 the Board closing the hearing after any
21 further comment this evening . Their
22 letter specifically indicates the
23 following . "As you know, Farrell Fritz
24 represents 9025 Main Road, LLC, the
25 owner of the former North Fork Bank
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 5
1 headquarters located at 9025 Main Road,
2 Mattituck, and the applicant,
3 Mattituck Hotel Development, for the
4 proposed adaptive reuse of the existing
5 77 , 000 square foot building that has
6 stood vacant since 2011 . The long
7 standing vacant building sits on a
8 portion of the two parcel site that
9 totals 11 . 83 acres in the General
10 Business B Town Zoning District . The
11 improved site has sufficient existing
12 paved parking areas and tree lined
13 medians , that include 342 off-street
14 parking spaces , 7 ADA accessible spaces ,
15 and off-street loading areas around the
16 existing building . The owner ' s hotel
17 plan is an adaptive reuse of the
18 longstanding, unutilized office building
19 that once occupy 350 employees on a
20 property that stands at the gateway to
21 the Town of Southold and the Hamlet of
22 Mattituck . Allowing this property to
23 continue to sit vacant and unutilized
24 rather than moving forward with the
25 review of the application to repurpose
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 6
1 the existing vacant parcel as an 81-room
2 hotel is a lost opportunity to generate
3 real property tax revenue for the Town
4 and the school district, to develop a
5 job creator for the community and a
6 financial catalyst for surrounding
7 businesses . As currently proposed,
8 their hotel project will be developed
9 within the footprint of the existing
10 building and utilize the existing paved
11 areas with enhanced landscaping . The
12 proposed redeveloped building will be
13 LEED certified, with sustainability
14 components , including a rooftop solar
15 array, land preservation around existing
16 wetlands in the western portion of the
17 site , and the placement of the existing
18 sanitary system, with the
19 state-of-the-art onsite nitrogen
20 reducing wastewater treatment facility .
21 The petition requested the Town Board
22 consider exempting this application from
23 the adopted hotel moratorium . We
24 respectfully assert that the petition
25 submitted to the Town on February 20 ,
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 7
1 2025 , and our presentation of the Town
2 Board at the public hearing on May 13 ,
3 2025 , meets the requisite factors and
4 adopted criteria for an exemption from
5 the moratorium. We understand, and
6 acknowledge, that the exemption from the
7 moratorium will only begin the Town ' s
8 review process of the application . In
9 response to statements made and
10 questions asked at the public hearing,
11 the applicant hereby confirms and
12 commits that they will not seek any real
13 property tax abatement as part of their
14 application for approval of an adaptive
15 reuse of the existing building . Excuse
16 me -- with an 81-room hotel . In
17 addition, they will provide an onsite
18 caretaker and employee headquarters for
19 their superintendent and host hotel
20 staff . The traffic assessment prepared
21 by the applicant ' s traffic engineer
22 submitted with the petition finds that
23 repurposing, that repurposing the
24 existing building as a hotel use has far
25 less traffic impact than alternative
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 8
1 uses permitted by zoning . We remain
2 available if any of the members of the
3 Town Board have any further questions or
4 need any additional information . " It
5 ends there , but that is what the Town
6 Board received today .
7 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
8 you, Mr . DeChance . Is there anyone who
9 would like to address the Board on this
10 proposed waiver? Yes , ma ' am .
11 TRINKA IRWIN : I have a couple of
12 questions , if you wouldn ' t mind
13 answering first .
14 TOWN CLERK DENIS NONCARROW : Your
15 name ?
16 TRINKA IRWIN : Oh, I ' m sorry .
17 Trinka Irwin, Laurel . Oh, and by the
18 way, I ' ll pray in gratitude for all of
19 you tonight for denying that trailer .
20 You know where I live .
21 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
22 you .
23 TRINKA IRWIN : I live across the
24 street from that . Two things come to
25 mind, ' cause I had gone to that meeting
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 9
1 at the Laurel Library, a year ago,
2 January, I think it was . Is it my
3 understanding that they have scaled this
4 down from a water park? No water park,
5 or is it still that from their original
6 point of this hotel ? It was a hotel , it
7 was a catering hall . It was all kinds
8 of things . And I don ' t know where that
9 stands . Regardless , I live on Peconic
10 Bay Boulevard, you know where I ' m going
11 with this because you ' ve gotten plenty
12 of letters from us . Something that size
13 is going to have to have traffic
14 control . Traffic control there is
15 probably going to back up further . And
16 Waze is going to put more traffic on
17 Peconic Bay Boulevard, where we are
18 dying over there . I just -- I ' m against
19 the whole thing, the whole idea . I
20 would like to see something better
21 there . Perhaps senior housing or
22 something, but it ' s the traffic thing
23 that ' s really got us worried .
24 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Well ,
25 just for clarification, it is quite the
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 10
1 scale down proposal from what was
2 originally proposed . The letter that we
3 received today states 81 rooms .
4 TRINKA IRWIN : But no restaurant,
5 no catering hall , no any of that? I
6 mean, originally they had an indoor
7 water park on that plan .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : I don ' t
9 believe there ' s a water park . I believe
10 there is some sort of facility, but if
11 you listen to our agenda tonight, we
12 just approved, I think, about 100
13 weddings locally .
14 TRINKA IRWIN : Yes , I saw that, you
15 know . It makes priority an existence .
16 Our concern is the locale . That main
17 road, I don ' t know how much more it ' s
18 going to take . You know, you add
19 anything to that -- already as it is the
20 other day, just for this rainy weekend,
21 they were backed up from Magic Fountain
22 to McDonald ' s . And then what happens is
23 Waze goes , "Oh, we got a better way for
24 you to go . "Go down Laurel Lane and down
25 Peconic Bay Boulevard . " It ' s a
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 11
1 nightmare . It ' s very unsafe .
2 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : And
3 what ' s being asked is not to approve it,
4 only to be allowed to apply .
5 TRINKA IRWIN : Understand . I just
6 would like to go on record . Thank you .
7 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
8 you . Yes , ma ' am?
9 JOANNE LECHNER : Joanne Lechner,
10 Mattituck . I ' m opposed to the Town
11 accepting the waiver application for the
12 potential hotel development . The new
13 Comprehensive Code that you ' re all
14 working on has not been completed . And
15 it ' s in the public stage and everybody ' s
16 asking questions and trying to figure
17 out what ' s what . Any building that size
18 would be a detriment to our community .
19 The Town Board must consider the impact
20 this development would have on our
21 infrastructure, quality of life , the
22 additional traffic, environmental
23 quality, and water resources . Further,
24 if you accept this waiver, you ' re
25 setting a precedent for everybody else
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 12
1 to do it . A few years ago, maybe it was
2 more than a few years ago, the Town, the
3 County purchased 19 acres of land west
4 of Sigsby in Mattituck for preservation .
5 The Town and County determined that this
6 property was important to preserve
7 because this area is uniquely situated
8 near several environmental sensitive
9 water bodies . They include Laurel Lake,
10 the Bay, Marituka Lake , and James Creek .
11 There were many residents and civic
12 association involved in preserving this
13 land . The proposed hotel is in
14 contradictory to the community ' s
15 previous conservation efforts . Our goal
16 was and should remain to protect these
17 delicate ecosystems from further
18 pollution and degradation . Therefore , I
19 request that the Board decline the
20 waiver application to this hotel . Thank
21 you .
22 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
23 you . Would anyone else like to speak?
24 Vince, please go right ahead . Welcome .
25 VINCENT GUASTAMACCHIA: How are
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 13
1 you . Vincent Guastamacchia, Southold .
2 To follow-up on the Chamber meeting that
3 we had in North Fork Chamber regarding
4 the rezoning, a question was asked to
5 Supervisor Krupski and Councilman
6 Doroski . If the Town will eventually
7 understand that we ' re no longer an
8 cultural based economy, we are a tourism
9 based economy . To deny this application
10 would be a direct blow to our currently
11 struggling business community . It ' s in
12 your hands now, guys . This is a long
13 time in the making . For him to really
14 be in this position, to not be approved
15 on it, as of right, maybe , it might not
16 be that as of right . Maybe you need
17 additional approval . However, it ' s an
18 existing structure that ' s sitting there
19 that is generating zero tax base for our
20 economy . Businesses are struggling,
21 businesses will close . Our economy will
22 struggle further . You guys are the key
23 holders right here to our economy .
24 Councilman Doroski , you have a
25 background in business , you understand
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 14
1 what it takes . You understand you need
2 people . I leave this ball in your
3 court, but the responsibility of our
4 economy is on your shoulders . Thank you
5 very much .
6 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
7 you, Vincent . Okay, go right ahead .
8 No, you ' re up . So we ' ll wait -- Chris ,
9 you have to wait one second .
10 ERIC MCCLURE : Hi . Eric McClure,
11 Mattituck . I think given how far along
12 the Town is in re-structuring, redoing
13 the Zoning Code, it probably makes sense
14 to wait until that ' s complete before
15 moving forward with any projects like
16 this . One thing that this Town needs
17 more than hotels is permanent housing
18 for people . And we don ' t have a lot of
19 undeveloped sites certainly of that size
20 in this community, as a potential site
21 for housing . Given its proximity to the
22 marketplace, to the train station, other
23 businesses in downtown . To the extent
24 there ' s a Downtown Mattituck . It seems
25 to me an ideal place to think about
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 15
1 building housing for the community . So
2 while I agnostic about hotels , it would
3 seem to me to make sense to wait on
4 this . Thank you .
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
6 you . Right now, I have Chris Kent on
7 Zoom . Please go right ahead, Chris .
8 CHRISTOPHER KENT : All right . Can
9 you hear me now?
10 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes .
11 CHRISTOPHER KENT : Okay . Sorry
12 about that . I was on mute . I didn ' t
13 know exactly, which button to push . So
14 I just wanted to let you know that I ' m
15 here to answer any questions of the
16 Board or any -- respond to any of the
17 comments from the public . I think Vince
18 made a good point that this is an
19 existing building . It ' s going to be
20 repurposed for some use, and the use
21 that we ' re proposing will have less
22 traffic impacts than some of the other
23 uses permitted by your Zone Code in this
24 district . We ' re proposing an enhanced
25 nitrogen reducing wastewater facility,
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 16
1 which will actually -- the environment
2 will benefit from that . And lastly,
3 allowing this to be redeveloped or
4 repurposed as a -- as a hotel will
5 create an opportunity to reduce the
6 alternatives , which are VBRO ' s and
7 Airbnb ' s , which are located in
8 neighborhoods in various communities
9 within the town . So tourism is a
10 growing industry for the Town, and I
11 think this creates a location that can
12 assist with that growing economic
13 benefit that the Town received from
14 tourism . So -- and I think that there
15 are other businesses will also benefit
16 from this , and the real property tax
17 revenue will help the Town and the
18 school district . So we hope you will
19 consider those when you make your
20 decision to allow us to move forward
21 just to process the application . We ' re
22 not asking for approval , we ' re just
23 asking for the application to be
24 processed in the normal course . Thank
25 you .
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 17
1 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
2 you, Chris . Would anyone hear like --
3 Yes , sir .
4 JOE PATELLO : Joe Patello, Laurel .
5 I have to disagree with Vince, because
6 this -- because the majority of the land
7 around here is agricultural , and the
8 straw is the wineries , and the farm
9 stands and everything . It ' s not
10 business that ' s drawing these people out
11 here . So I disagree with this comment
12 that it ' s going to improve businesses .
13 I also have another question, which
14 is -- what ' s the zoning for sound, is it
15 10 o ' clock or 11 o ' clock? Cut off time?
16 Sound?
17 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : It
18 depends on -- It depends sometimes --
19 JOE PATELLO : -- know, what do I
20 say?
21 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : So some
22 of these commercial establishments that
23 have site plans , they would have noise
24 limits in them. Some of the special
25 events that we approved tonight, both
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 18
1 through a Special Event Committee,
2 consisting of the Town Clerk and the
3 government liaison and the Planner and
4 the ZBA and the Police Chief . Some of
5 those have times built into those
6 approvals .
7 JOE PATELLO : Really wasn ' t the
8 question I asked . Is there an ordinance
9 that says 10 o ' clock --
10 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : No .
11 JOE PATELLO : So you can make it
12 any time you want?
13 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : I think
14 you could . That ' s why we have public
15 comments . So you could say --
16 JOE PATELLO : What ' s the next guy
17 going to say, 11 : 30 ? Next guy ' s going
18 to say 12 : 00 ?
19 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : The
20 code does refer to certain times and in
21 addition when there ' s Board action on a
22 particular properties , many times the
23 conditions will alter the timing of the
24 sound and also the lighting . So if you
25 have a sound complaint that you have,
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 19
1 please contact the Town Attorney ' s
2 office or go online and file a
3 complaint, because we will look at that
4 and we will address it .
5 JOE PATELLO : It ' s like -- it ' s
6 after the fact in other words ?
7 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Well ,
8 no, but all their approvals are subject
9 to review . So that you come in for the
10 next approval you ' re gonna have an
11 address --
12 JOE PATELLO : Can you tell me
13 exactly what the ordinance --
14 ordinances ? That ' s what I ' m asking .
15 I ' m asking you what --
16 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : --
17 worked from what parcel it is . So then
18 we can look at what approvals it has .
19 JOE PATELLO : So different areas
20 have different sound ordinances ?
21 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : Yes ,
22 and different zoning classifications .
23 So why don ' t we start with that? Why
24 don ' t you contact my office? We ' ll
25 start with where the parcel is . We ' ll
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 20
1 look at the zoning . We ' ll look at the
2 prior approvals within the Town, and I
3 can definitively tell you the answer .
4 JOE PATELLO : Okay . I ' ll get your
5 card before we leave .
6 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : I
7 don ' t have my card with me, but please
8 --
9 JOE PATELLO : Oh, you can write
10 down your information .
11 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : I
12 will write down my number for you .
13 JOE PATELLO : I ' ll get it .
14 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE :
15 Absolutely, sir .
16 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Would
17 anyone else like to speak? Before we
18 bring in someone who ' s spoken, I just
19 want to make sure everyone else has had
20 the opportunity first . All right, now
21 we can bring Vince again .
22 VINCENT GUASTAMACCHIA: Thank you
23 for this opportunity, I would just like
24 to direct my comment toward the
25 gentleman who was just speaking . I
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 21
1 wanted to point out --
2 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Vince,
3 you have to direct the comments to the
4 Board .
5 VINCENT GUASTAMACCHIA: -- have to
6 correct the comments of the Board on my
7 previous statement . The overnight guest
8 spends on average three times more than
9 the day tripper . And that is not
10 including lodging . So not including the
11 money they ' re spending to stay at the
12 hotel . This is a study that was
13 conducted by the Finger Lakes . I
14 pointed this out many times . Hotels do
15 help the business community . I beg you
16 to understand that . And that ' s what
17 this -- and it does not burden the
18 school system and generates tax dollars
19 for the school . So thank you for taking
20 my question again .
21 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
22 you .
23 VINCENT GUASTAMACCHIA: My
24 statement .
25 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : And now
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 22
1 we have Chris Kent again .
2 CHRISTOPHER KENT : I agree with the
3 speaker, it ' s not businesses that draw
4 people out to the Town of Southold . It
5 is the agriculture, the wineries , the
6 vineyards that draw people to Town . The
7 reason the hotels are important, as
8 Vince just commented, it provides those
9 visitors a place to stay . The people
10 who want to come out to -- they are
11 attracted to the Town of Southold to see
12 the open space, the agriculture , the
13 wineries , the vineyards but local
14 businesses do benefit because those
15 people do spend money in the Town . And
16 if they have a place to stay they will
17 spend more money in the Town . So and --
18 we ' re not -- this is an existing
19 building . This is not something brand
20 new that we ' re building . It ' s
21 repurposing that existing building that
22 will be able to house these visitors who
23 will come to Town and spend money .
24 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
25 you, Chris . I don ' t see anyone else on
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 23
1 Zoom . Is there anyone else here would
2 like to speak? Yes , ma ' am. If you can
3 take a break from what are you making?
4 JOANNE LECHNER : A baby blanket .
5 Next month . I am running out of time .
6 There are hotels in Riverhead, lots of
7 hotels in Riverhead . People do come out
8 here , but it ' s because it ' s so different
9 from the rest of the County . This is
10 like -- and I ' m saying it because I
11 really feel this way, it ' s almost like
12 God ' s Country . You have trees , you have
13 animals . People come out here to rest .
14 People come out here for the wines ,
15 definitely . But it ' s a totally
16 different concept . If you keep
17 building, building, building, you ' ll be
18 like the rest of Suffolk County . So
19 people will not be coming out . And if
20 you ' re going to sit in traffic for six
21 hours , they ' re surely not going to come
22 out . And you ' re not looking at the
23 residents of the area, and how it
24 affects them. So I would ask you to
25 deny it because I mean -- I don ' t know
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 24
1 how long this process is going into the
2 code , but I think they should be like
3 everybody else, and wait till the end of
4 this process . Thank you .
5 TOWN CLERK DENIS NONCARROW : Your
6 name , please?
7 JOANNE LECHNER : Joanne Lechner .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
9 you . If there ' s no other comment, I
10 will entertain a motion to close the
11 hearing?
12 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : I will
13 make a motion to close the public
14 hearing .
15 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Second .
16 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Before
17 we vote , I ' d just like to say we have a
18 lot to consider here . I think this
19 is -- you know, the applicant ' s looking
20 for relief from the process because of
21 the conditions that they state of the
22 property . And we will consider -- we
23 will really -- we are considering this
24 seriously .
25 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : And just
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 25
1 to clarify, we ' re gonna vote on the
2 motion to close the public hearing .
3 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes .
4 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Not on
5 granting relief .
6 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All in
7 favor?
8 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : Aye .
9 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Aye .
10 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Aye .
11 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Aye .
12 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Aye .
13 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Aye .

15 TEMPORARY MORATORIUM/DEVELOPMENT OF
16 RESORTS , HOTELS AND MOTELS
17 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Go
18 right ahead, Denis , we can open the next
19 meeting .
20 TOWN CLERK DENIS NONCARROW : Very
21 good . Thank you . This public hearing
22 considers an amendment to an
23 introductory Local Law to enact an
24 additional 12 month extension on a
25 temporary moratorium of the issuance of
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 26
1 approvals and/or permits for new
2 development or resorts , hotels or
3 motels . Legal notices for public
4 hearings are published no less than 10
5 days prior to the public hearing in an
6 eligible local town newspaper . The Town
7 Clerk ' s Office has received the signed
8 Affidavit of Service from that
9 newspaper, indicating that the notice
10 was properly published . The application
11 requires notice to the Suffolk County
12 Planning Commission . The Town Clerk ' s
13 file includes the response of the
14 Planning Commission, dated May 7 , 2025 ,
15 conditionally approving the proposed
16 Local Law, but requiring the Town to
17 return every three months to report on
18 the progress of the Town ' s Comprehensive
19 Zoning update , and to apply for an
20 additional moratorium extension . The
21 proposed action was referred to the
22 Planning Department for a SEQRA
23 determination, and the action was
24 considered a Type II Action under SEQRA,
25 not requiring further review and exempt
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 27
1 from LWRP review, pursuant to Chapter
2 268 . Finally, the Town Clerk file
3 includes an Affidavit of Posting of the
4 public notice on the Town Clerk ' s
5 bulletin board at Town Hall .
6 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
7 you .
8 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : For
9 the record, Mr . Supervisor, the
10 documents and notices are in order .
11 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
12 you . All right . So this is to be
13 clear, this is a public hearing on
14 extending a moratorium on hotels and
15 motels . As the zoning update process
16 has progressed, we have had a lot of --
17 I think, very constructive comment on
18 some of these matters , including hotel
19 use and hospitality use in general . So
20 I think the Board has got
21 recommendations and the Board ' s
22 considering the recommendations , but
23 also considering the public comment
24 during those meetings . There will be --
25 and to a little PSA, based on this
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 28
1 hearing, because or rather -- because of
2 this hearing, we will be having a Zoning
3 Update Meeting focused on business
4 tomorrow night at the Rec Center at
5 6 : 30 . So people are interested in that,
6 certainly, they should come down and let
7 the Board know what you think about all
8 this . So this has been properly
9 noticed . The hearing is open . Is there
10 anyone here who would like to comment on
11 this proposed extension of the hotel
12 moratorium?
13 JOANNE LECHNER : I agree with you .
14 I think you should give us more time .
15 Thank you .
16 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
17 you . Go ahead, ma ' am.
18 ELIZABETH BERMAN : Elizabeth
19 Berman, Southold . I just would agree
20 and really plead with you to do this
21 extended moratorium for another 12
22 months . Do the deep dive into what ' s
23 going on, because I understand what the
24 gentleman ' s saying about we need
25 tourism . We need rooms for people to
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 29
1 stay, but as other people have stated
2 those rooms do exist in Riverhead .
3 We ' re just pushing it and pushing it and
4 pushing it out here . There ' s plenty of
5 business . Seems to me , when you drive
6 around on a weekend everything ' s very,
7 very, very busy, very busy . Regardless
8 of whether there ' s places to stay in
9 this particular -- in our town or not .
10 And I would encourage you to remember
11 what our community look as you guys
12 always seem to be able to find your way
13 to what the community needs , which is
14 housing . We -- Affordable Housing for
15 people . That building is there .
16 There ' s the brick building over here by
17 Agway . There ' s buildings that are
18 vacant . But why do we have to go with,
19 what does the Town have to go with what
20 these outside companies are saying we
21 need? When we really know what we need?
22 We don ' t need hotels . You know The
23 Enclaves , the horses out of the barn .
24 You know let ' s just take the breath,
25 extend the extra 12 months and we plead
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 30
1 with you . You know, and I know I speak
2 for a lot of people . I know there ' s not
3 as many people here as we will hope to
4 maybe, but just to think about where
5 we ' re headed . Because it ' s true, once
6 it happens , it ' s not going to get undone
7 as we see . Thank you so much .
8 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
9 you . But to be clear, it ' s clear that
10 hotel use is an approved use on many
11 parcels in Town . And what we ' re doing,
12 the Zoning Update, we need specific
13 things about what you think it should be
14 allowed there or under what parameters
15 it should be allowed there . So if you
16 have anything specific to other sites ,
17 and this is not about the one in
18 Mattituck . This is about the other
19 sites in town where hotels are currently
20 of permitted use . And to see that, you
21 can go online to the Zoning Update and
22 you can look at the sites .
23 ELIZABETH BERMAN : I just -- again,
24 just even the vacant building there, I
25 just -- whatever we can do to get
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 31
1 Affordable Housing .
2 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
3 you .
4 ELIZABETH BERMAN : Thank you .
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All
6 right, anyone else?
7 ERIC MCCLURE : Eric McClure,
8 Mattituck . Just for the sake of
9 consistency, I said that I thought that
10 this process should hold up until the
11 Zoning is done . So if that ' s going to
12 be done in less than a year, I think I
13 would be very comfortable not having to
14 wait another year . A full year
15 extension on the moratorium on hotel
16 development, I would probably peg it to
17 a shorter timeframe to align with the
18 completion of the code update . So maybe
19 a six month moratorium that you could
20 then of course redo if you wanted to .
21 Make more sense . But it really is
22 dependent on the Zoning Code update .
23 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
24 you . I don ' t see any hands up on the
25 Zoom platform . So go right ahead,
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 32
1 ma ' am.
2 JOANNE LECHNER : I ' m sorry .
3 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : That ' s
4 all right . We ' re all here .
5 JOANNE LECHNER : I just have
6 another question . With these hotels ,
7 are they going to be limited in size?
8 Are they going to be -- I mean, I don ' t
9 know if you guys know this or not, but
10 what are they going to look like?
11 You ' re saying this is a property zoned
12 for that? Are they going to be 12
13 rooms , 50 rooms , 100 rooms , 60 rooms ?
14 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : It
15 depends on the site and mostly they ' ll
16 be limited by parking and boat schedule .
17 So they ' ll be limited as far as how big
18 the building can be based on the size of
19 the parcel . There are -- and if you go
20 to the Zoning Update, it ' s very clear to
21 see, there are a lot of smaller parcels
22 in town that could support, or that are
23 currently zoned for hotel use . But
24 there are limits to what you can build
25 on any parcel . So there ' s no -- I can ' t
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 33
1 say this -- lot is one size hotel .
2 They ' re all variable .
3 JOANNE LECHNER : But what ' s the
4 ratio of parking to hotels ?
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : I don ' t
6 know . That would be up to the Planning
7 Department to review . And that ' s what
8 we ' re trying to get through, because we
9 can ' t have the moratorium forever . And
10 we can ' t do the zoning update forever .
11 We have to really move through and say,
12 okay, what size do you think the hotel
13 should be? Or anything like that, what
14 should look like , design standards for
15 it? That ' s the best kind of input we
16 should have because we want to end this
17 at some point .
18 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : And to be
19 clear, we ' re reviewing our Zoning . And
20 we don ' t have applicants saying, oh,
21 that can be zoned for hotel . I want to
22 build a hotel there . It ' s just a
23 possibility in the future .
24 JOANNE LECHNER : So we ' re thinking
25 --
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 34
1 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : We ' re going
2 through the whole process of the Zoning .
3 Planning Board is coming up with
4 different ideas about hotels and
5 variations of it . So we ' re in that
6 process .
7 JOANNE LECHNER : Right, is there a
8 thought process of limiting how many you
9 can have?
10 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : That ' s the
11 process we ' re going through now is
12 coming up with that .
13 JOANNE LECHNER : In other words ,
14 something that was zoned for hotels may
15 not be zoned for hotels later?
16 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : Maybe .
17 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Well ,
18 that ' s -- We don ' t know . We ' re not
19 through the process yet . I don ' t see
20 any hands up . There ' s no other comment .
21 I would ask the Board if you ' d wanna
22 close the hearing and hold off on a vote
23 for two weeks or close the hearing and
24 vote tonight to extend?
25 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : I will
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 35
1 make a motion to close the hearing
2 and vote . It seems like in our
3 previous discussion, there ' s unanimous
4 support .
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All
6 right . So I have a motion to close .
7 Let ' s take that first .
8 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : Second .
9 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All in
10 favor?
11 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : Aye .
12 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Aye .
13 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Aye .
14 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Aye .
15 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Aye .
16 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Aye .
17 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
18 PUBLIC COMMENTS
19 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : So is
20 there anyone who would like to address
21 the Board on any matter now .
22 ERIC MCCLURE : Again, Eric McClure ,
23 Mattituck . And I ' m here, unfortunately,
24 with my least favorite topic to address .
25 And so you guys just went through a
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 36
1 whole process of approving Special Event
2 Permits for businesses all across the
3 Town . Glaringly missing from that list
4 of businesses was Strong ' s Water Club
5 and Windermere, which is across Long
6 Creek from me in Mattituck, which by my
7 quick count on their website is planning
8 to have 83 live music events of three
9 hours each in duration . They began on
10 the 12th of this month, and they will
11 continue through at least the middle of
12 September . That ' s what ' s on their
13 calendar now . In the past, they ' ve
14 added events . Wednesdays get slow .
15 Then all of a sudden, there ' s live music
16 on Wednesdays . The sound levels have
17 been consistently above the Town Code .
18 Probably the worst ever this past
19 Memorial Day, when I recorded readings
20 above 76 decibels from my back porch . I
21 called the police as you guys have asked
22 me to do in the past . Officer Gearing
23 came . He was very nice, as all the
24 other officers are . He had been over to
25 Strong ' s while they were taking a break .
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 37
1 He talked to the manager . They said,
2 "No, we know . The sound ' s bouncing
3 around . We ' re monitoring it . " After he
4 left, the next song, I think after they
5 started back up, was hit over 73 on the
6 decibel meter . So, I mean, the analogy
7 to me is like he pulled somebody over
8 for going 76 miles per hour . He was
9 nice enough to give them a warning and
10 not cite them and they got back in the
11 car and they drove away at 73 . So maybe
12 that ' s not a perfect analogy, but it
13 works for me . The current schedule has
14 them playing three hours on Sunday
15 afternoon, three hours on Sunday night .
16 Noon to 3 : 00 , 6 : 30 to 9 : 30 , Friday
17 nights , Saturday nights . They ' ll start
18 Thursday nights on July 3rd . So it ' s
19 more than half the nights we ' re getting
20 this kind of loud, amplified music .
21 I ' ve been coming to the Board, I think
22 my first meeting with several neighbors
23 was in 2014 with Supervisor Russell .
24 Everybody -- you guys always are
25 respectful and listen and I know try to
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 38
1 help . You ' ve had multiple conversations
2 with the business owner . None of it
3 seems to work . None of it seems to sink
4 in . The fact that the noise, the sound,
5 the music on Monday was as loud as any
6 recording I ' ve ever made in the past
7 really made me take notice . I know you
8 guys take noise seriously because we
9 spent a lot of time in the past few
10 months talking about pickle ball and
11 hiring sound engineers to figure out
12 what can be done to reduce the noise
13 that ' s affecting adjacent neighbors . So
14 again, I guess I ' m here to ask for your
15 help . I know Supervisor Krupski , you
16 talked about the possibility of looking
17 at noise on a town wide basis once the
18 Zoning Code work is done . I greatly
19 appreciate that, but I also have a
20 single business that is a repeat
21 offender that knows that there are
22 problems that is creating for the
23 community, and has done nothing to
24 address any of it . They ' ve not changed
25 their setup . They could take the music
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 39
1 inside . They could build a structure to
2 enclose the area that they want to play
3 music, but they ' ve done none of that .
4 And finally, just to me is like the
5 greatest irony, I was out for a walk,
6 late , a couple of weekends ago . And I
7 could hear as I was walking around
8 Westview Drive where I live, I could
9 hear the noise getting louder . And when
10 I got around the corner, it was a family
11 that lives there . They have a bunch of
12 kids . The teenagers , I think, were
13 having a pool party . I don ' t know if
14 the parents were home or not, but it was
15 after 11 : 00 . It was loud . The kids
16 were having fun . They were, it was
17 noisy . They were playing music . And
18 when I saw, you know, I walk around the
19 neighborhood a couple times to try to
20 get my steps in . As I was coming back,
21 I noticed one police car go by . Then a
22 second police car . And as I looped
23 around to finish my walk, I saw somebody
24 walking back into the Strong ' s house
25 because not only do they flood the
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 40
1 neighborhood with noise, they also are
2 my neighbors . So I found it ironic .
3 And I ' m 99 . 9% sure that they are the
4 people who called police to complain
5 about the noise at the pool party across
6 the street from them. So at this point,
7 if we can ' t figure out how to make
8 things change , if I know that music
9 irritates them, I ' ll just have to be
10 forced to fight fire with fire and buy
11 the most powerful outdoor speaker I can
12 find, and put it in my backyard or on my
13 dock and just try to blast them back as
14 loudly as they ' re blasting us . And but
15 I don ' t want to be that kind of guy . So
16 I ' m really hopeful that the Town can
17 help . You know, I ' m somebody who
18 believes in government and the ability
19 of government to serve the public and do
20 good things and solve problems . So
21 again, it ' s 2025 . It seems like it ' s
22 every year, but I ' m back to ask for your
23 help . I did file a complaint on the
24 website this morning just back dated for
25 Monday ' s incident . I noted the police
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 41
1 -- I got the report number from Officer
2 Gearings , and I believe you guys have
3 brought on some additional Code
4 Compliance folks . That would help . But
5 -- and also, if they think that they ' re
6 complying with the code on their side of
7 the water, it ' s louder on our side
8 because clearly, if it ' s 76 decibels ,
9 then either they ' re ignoring that on
10 their end or they ' re getting a lower
11 reading . But the way I read the code ,
12 it ' s the noise from our property line ,
13 not from where it ' s being generated . So
14 they ' re clearly not in compliance, but
15 they don ' t seem to care . Oh, and one
16 last note . Yesterday, they ' re closed on
17 Tuesdays . About 9 : 30 in the morning I
18 could hear music coming that lasted for
19 six hours . It was clearly radio some
20 kind of streaming service because there
21 were ads every 30 minutes or so . Even
22 with the windows and doors closed in our
23 house, you can still hear the seeping
24 through . And they ' re not flimsy
25 windows . They ' re good quality Anderson
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 42
1 double pane windows . You can get the
2 bass and the drums pounding . And I took
3 a photo yesterday and you guys aren ' t
4 going to be able to see it up there, but
5 This is the parking lot . There was one
6 truck in it yesterday, and yet the radio
7 was playing for six hours . I couldn ' t
8 even find somebody to ask to turn down
9 the sound . Probably left it on
10 overnight or something . So thank you .
11 Sorry to take up so much time .
12 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
13 you for coming . I mean, that ' s a
14 quality of life issue and we ' re not --
15 we ' re not insensitive to it . All right .
16 I have Decmar, please go right ahead .
17 DECLAN MAR : Can you hear me ?
18 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes .
19 DECLAN MAR : I hope you can hear
20 me . I am getting some feedback . I am
21 writing basically or asking you, just
22 ask --
23 TOWN ATTORNEY PAUL DECHANCE : May I
24 just ask you to start with your name,
25 please?
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 43
1 DECLAN MAR : Yeah, I ' m sorry .
2 Declan Mar, 750 Blue Marlin Drive in
3 Southold . I represent the Southold
4 Shores Association, which is comprised
5 of about 40 , roughly located between the
6 Peconic Yacht Club and Brick Code
7 Marina . And I ' m just -- I ' m getting a
8 little feedback . I ' m sorry . I think I
9 have a little problem here with the
10 audio . I just wanted to reiterate
11 something I ' ve written to you the other
12 day . We ' ve had a deterioration of the
13 flood system in the neighborhood and
14 this Spring it ' s been resulted in very
15 heavy flooding of which I know you ' re
16 aware . I will say that the Highway
17 Department and the Town has been very
18 responsive , and has come out on an
19 emergency basis , installed new catch
20 basins and drainage pipes in the area on
21 Dolphin Drive . So we appreciate that
22 effort, which was completed in short
23 time , and in spite of bad weather
24 conditions . So residents in the area,
25 though, have complained about their sun
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 44
1 pumps burning out as a result of
2 basement and crawl space flooding . This
3 past Saturday, we had a meeting, which
4 is an annual meeting for us . The
5 residents requested me to formally
6 request your investigation of really two
7 areas of concern . The primary concern
8 is we ' ve had new construction at one
9 location, 285 Blue Marlin, which we
10 think may have caused a substantial
11 amount of flooding, where none had
12 occurred in previous years . The site
13 previous to the current regrading was a
14 low lying area that captured runoff from
15 surrounding lots . Construction seems to
16 have interfered with that natural
17 drainage . But we understand that no
18 formal storm drainage plan was submitted
19 by the owner prior to receiving the
20 Building Permit . The lack of this may
21 have caused the Town to have to absorb
22 the extra cost of recent storm drainage
23 work on Dolphin . Had there been a
24 requirement for that storm drainage
25 starting prior to construction, it ' s
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 45
1 probably likely that the problem we had
2 this past Spring would have been
3 avoided, but again, I ' m not sure about
4 that . Since work continues at the
5 construction site, we ' re just -- it
6 would be helpful if the owner would be
7 required to provide extra consideration
8 and prevent the flooding measures
9 through the adjacent two properties that
10 are experiencing heavy flooding .
11 Finally, I just -- one other point
12 there -- we have several declared
13 wetlands and other low lying areas in
14 this area, which has standing water
15 nearly a year round . We would like the
16 Town to perform some kind of a
17 neighborhood storm drainage study, and
18 perhaps improve the older catch basins ,
19 which are not functioning properly . And
20 we believe need some maintenance or
21 replacement . But again, we want to
22 thank Highway Department and the Town ' s
23 support of the residents in the area .
24 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
25 you . And I can tell you that the Town
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 46
1 Engineer and Town Highway Superintendent
2 are actively working in this area trying
3 to try to sort it out . I know it is a
4 problematic area because it ' s sitting on
5 60 to 80 feet of clay . And that the
6 drainage was designed there, but never
7 actually completed because those canals
8 were never dug when the whole
9 development was being planned . So, but
10 they are -- they are -- thank you for
11 coming here tonight . They are actively
12 working on it .
13 DECLAN MAR : Thank you for that . I
14 just -- there ' s a little bit of a delay
15 in the feedback . Possibly -- is it
16 possible that the Town do a little more
17 study of the other surrounding wetland
18 areas and the drainage basins if they
19 can be cleaned out or reconstructed?
20 We ' re not asking for, you know,
21 substantial improvement, but it would
22 help I think to drain some of the
23 existing low lying area and wetland
24 areas .
25 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Yes ,
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 47
1 they are currently looking at that area
2 specifically .
3 DECLAN MAR : Okay . Great . Great .
4 Thank you very much .
5 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
6 you . There was another hand up, or is
7 -- Go right ahead, Benjamin from
8 Cutchogue . Please get up and identify
9 yourself .
10 BENJAMIN SCHWARTZ : I ' ve been in
11 Cutchogue for over 60 years -- Benjamin
12 Schwartz . So good to be here . Thank
13 you for all the good work you ' re doing .
14 But I ' m still frustrated with the
15 website of the Town . A lot of times I
16 hear Town Officials referring to the
17 website , and there ' s at least three or
18 four major website ' s and a number of
19 smaller ones . But the official town
20 website , southhold . ny -- whatever it is .
21 You could call that the Town website,
22 but then there ' s the meeting portal ,
23 which tonight ' s meeting is going to be
24 on . I think it ' s also accessible via
25 Zoom . And all of these things are
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 48
1 getting more and more complicated . And
2 it ' s not a question of, you know, pain
3 in the ass . I wish the way the
4 gentleman has spoke on Zoom, I ' m glad he
5 was able to participate via Zoom, but it
6 would have been more comfortable if he
7 could have come here . I think we do
8 still need to focus on in-person
9 attendance and communications , as we
10 always have . But on the other hand, all
11 of our Town records are no longer stored
12 in the basement . They ' re stored in a
13 cloud, known as Laserfiche . The meeting
14 portal is in the cloud . The Code of Law
15 is in the cloud . So access to all of
16 these is extremely important . And
17 unfortunately, the current situation
18 with the Laserfiche web portal is
19 interesting . It ' s been -- It was down
20 for a few weeks , and now it ' s being
21 built back up . And I know they ' re
22 working on it, or I assume they ' re
23 working on it, but I wish I knew more of
24 what happened . I don ' t think it was a
25 hacker . I don ' t know how it happened,
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 49
1 but my understanding from observing it
2 is that the Laserfiche document database
3 is being rebuilt . Unfortunately, when
4 it was built the first time -- well back
5 then there was a different program we
6 were using . So even back then though,
7 the program was not fully utilized . The
8 records were posted up there without
9 full understanding of how to do that in
10 a manner to make them easy to access and
11 user friendly . Both in terms of using
12 the browsing and the search function .
13 And the longer we wait to start doing
14 this right, the more -- the harder it
15 will be to catch up eventually when we
16 decide to do that . But I ' ve expressed
17 my willingness to work with the Town,
18 and I ' d like to extend that again .
19 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : I
20 appreciate your insight into that . I ' m
21 not that fluent in the technology . The
22 Town Clerk is the keeper of the Town
23 records , and I think maybe it ' d be more
24 helpful if you went and spoke with him.
25 BENJAMIN SCHWARTZ : I spoke with
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 50
1 the Town Clerk, but the Town Clerk is
2 not directly in control of the website .
3 That is being done by the IT Department .
4 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : No, no,
5 I mean the Laserfiche and all the
6 records and how they ' re kept . That ' s --
7 that ' s his purview .
8 BENJAMIN SCHWARTZ : So I understand
9 that . And we have one very competent
10 official who works on that . But I think
11 we need more . We need a committee . We
12 need people who can review and advise
13 the Town as to how to do a better job .
14 Interesting to name Laserfiche web link
15 on the Town website , the problem is the
16 navigational structure , the buttons to
17 get to different things and to get from
18 one place to another . The links in
19 between . You need to have someone who
20 really understands website ' s who is
21 working on that . And I don ' t believe
22 that exists . One last point, the
23 Employee Committee Handbook --
24 Committee Handbook, I understand you
25 voted on earlier tonight . Well , it
MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 51
1 says it will be posted, or it is posted,
2 but it ' s not yet posted . And I hope it
3 will be posted soon . I wish it was
4 posted before you voted on it, so
5 people could have participated in the
6 career -- of course it could be changed
7 at any time . So that ' s my hope that we
8 make some changes and make things
9 easier to get to .
10 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank
11 you . Anyone else like to address the
12 Board?
13 (No Response) .
14 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Seeing
15 none and seeing none on Zoom .

17 motion we adjourn the meeting .
