I just submitted a letter on 10 behalf of NFEC regarding the request for 11 an exemption to the hotel moratorium. 12 And I just wanted to make sure it goes 13 into the record . I submitted it to the 14 Clerk ' s Office . 15 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank 16 you . Then it will . 17 ANNE MURRAY : Thank you . 18 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Thank 19 you, Anne . I don ' t see any other hands 20 up . 21 (Whereupon, the meeting continued 22 on to the Resolutions at this time . ) 23 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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 . 14 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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 . 16 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Make a 17 motion we adjourn the meeting . 18 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : Second . 19 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : All in 20 favor? 21 COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY : Aye . 22 COUNCILMAN GREG DOROSKI : Aye . 23 COUNCILMAN BRIAN MEALY : Aye . 24 COUNCILWOMAN ANNE SMITH : Aye . 25 JUSTICE LOUISA EVANS : Aye . MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 52 1 SUPERVISOR AL KRUPSKI JR . : Aye . 2 3 (Whereupon, the meeting was 4 adjourned . ) 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MAY 28, 2025 REGULAR MEETING 53 1 C E R T I F I C A T I O N 2 3 I , Jessica DiLallo, a Notary Public 4 for and within the State of New York, do 5 hereby certify : 6 THAT, the within transcript is a 7 true record of said Board Meeting . 8 I further certify that I am not 9 related either by blood or marriage to 10 any of the parties to this action; and 11 that I am in no way interested in the 12 outcome of this matter . 13 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto 14 set my hand this day, May 28 , 2025 . 15 16 17 (J ssi&aDi�Lallo) 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
