SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD March 25, 1980 WORK SESSION Chief Cataldo spoke to the Board relative to the appeintment of Alfred Falkowski, Jr. as a Police Office. This will be placed on the agenda under resolutions.~--He said he has reviewed the bid of Mayday Communications for the Logging Recorder and asked that it be placed on the agenda for award.---Chief Cataldo asked for a review and increase of the hourly rates for police matrons. He said the rates have been the same for several years.---A letter has been received from the Mattituck Chamber of. Commerce objecting to parking on the corners of Love Lane and Pike Street, Mattituck. Chief Cataldo will make a study of the situation before replying to the letter. The C~ief asked for authorization to hire ~illiam Januick as a part-time Bay Constable effective May lst.---A visibility problem at the cor~er of Route 25 and Pequash Avenue, C~tchOgue was discussed. The Chief stated the new police cars have been received by Mullen~Motors.and will be delivered within the next two to three weeks. Melville A. Kelsey, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Assessors requested that the Board adopt a resoiution requesting Assemblyman Behan to introduce special l~egistation allowing him to be placed in Tier II of the New york State Retirement System, a~d handed the Board a letter to that effect. It seems that when Mr. Kelsey was appointed on August 16, 1973 he was not given an application to join the retirement system. W/men he did become aware of the situation he applied an~ was placed in Tier III which requires a 3% contribution by the employee. Under Tier II the employee is not required to contribute~. A resolution requesting Assemblyman Behan to introduce special legislatiDn was put on the agenda.--Supervisor Rell said he spoke to ~ssemblym~n Behan and his counsel Fred Thiel o~ his recent ~r±p to Albany concerning Me. Kelsey's problem. Highway Superintendent Dean asked why elected officials were excluded f~om the Dental plan. He said Deputy S~pervisor Johnson spoke to the County about this when Supervisor Pe~t was away and she was advised the elected officials could be included.---Super-. visor Pell~ was instructed to double check with the county and with CSEA on th~s. Mr. Don Sio~ss of Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell, P.C. spoke to the Board relative to the Highway Safety Improvement Program under i~he Transportation Bond which was passed by the voters state-wide in November' 1979. .If the Town puts up 25%, the State would contributel 75%; by putting up $30,000 the Town could receive $100,000. worth of improvements. The money must be used for safety or energy ~elated improvements. Oiling, stoning, stripping, etc which is an! annual cost is not included.[ ~Mr~ Sloss was aksed if land acqui~sition for drainage would be considered and he said he would checkl into ti. The package fee for Phase I by H2M would be $11,000. in engineering costs, which costs can come out of the bond. Mrs. M.J. Paul, Cutchogue appeared before the Board and advised them the Save Robins Island Committee new has a total of 1806 signatures on their petitions. The petitions will be presented at the open meeting. Dr. Joseph Lizewski appeared before the Board and advised them the North FDrk Soccer League is being put together this week as a coporar~mion. It will ihclude Laurel to Orient, as well as Riverhead and Shelter Island. He requested funds for the legaue as he feel recreational needs have been neglected in the Town of Southold. Mr. Hugh Gallagher, Audrey Layburn and Tom Daly were also present resDesenting the Peconic Soccer League. There was ~n!~f~a~ 0f'~uestio~s be~%~e~h Mr. Gallagher and Dr. nizewski Whi~h Was leading to a ~eat~d discussion. Supervisor Pell said he would he~d a committee along with Councilman Sullivan to meet MARCH 25, 1980 with all concerned to discuss a resolution to the problem. Ail parties agreed they would like equal shares of the allocated funds for the soccer leagues, but feel an amount equal to that given to the Little League would be more equitable. A meeting with the soccer representatives, Supervisor Pell and ~ouncilman Sullivan was scheduled for 8:00 A.M., Tuesday, April 1, 1980 in the ~pervisor's Office. Councilman Drum reported on a meeting he 'attended !.n River~ead on Friday, March 21 st concerning a study made at the request of the Presiding Officer of the ~ounty Legislature Noto relative to the cost of the County Police services and thS various shares of the townships. The report indicates the cost to the five east end townships is $800,000. Councilman D~um questioned the validity of the report. He said he personally feels that Southold Town can do without the county services, and use our own people, even if if means hiring additional people and cost out.~the services for the county laboratory and police academy. Councilman Drum reported that he recently talked to John Guildi of the Department of Public Works and the first project for the new dredge will be the New Suffolk ramp.~--He said that dredging at the Mattituck Inlet has not started yet. The Board discussed authorizing the Supervisor, at his request,~ to go to Washington, D.C. to discuss gas allocation. Deputy Supervisor Johnson reported that she had just met with George Seuss of LILCO to discuss the steel pole that had b~en placed on a LILC© right-of-way at Route 27, Peconic. She sai~ the problem has been resolved~ the pole will be removed and a large wooden pole erected next to an existing one. Deputy Supervisor Johnson reported on her meeting relative to the county plan for a Case Management System for nutrition centers to coordinate services available for the elderly.--- Councilman Pell added that the Town Should receive between $10,000 to $12,000. for kitchen equipment for the nutrition center through the Office of the Aging. Councilman Nickles reported on his meeting with Mrs. Maria Tejo, Mrs. Csajko and Supervisor Pell concerning the dog pound. TheY have reached a point in discussions where they feel the Town Board should authorize the Town Attorney to start final negotiations with the counsel for the North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. The Board discussed their meeting with representatives of the Fleet's Neck Property Owners Association at 8:00 A.M. this morning. Highway Superintendent Dean said he.would put up a guard rail at the end of East Road. Councilman Murd~ck said he would speak to Mr. Vanderbeck relative to the construction of steps to the P~perty Owners Association. Mr. William Smith, Clerk of the Works to the Senior/Citizens/ Youth Center stopped by to advise the Board the general con- tractor for the center was at the building going over the entire building for leaks and caulking same. The Board went over the agenda for the 3:00 P.M. meeting item by item. Mr. Herb Davids and Mr. Dennis Moran of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services spoke to the Board about their program for collecting 6000 samples, within the next six ~eeks, of water fr~m all homes within 2500 ft. of potato farms to determine the amount of Temik in the water. They advised a limit of over 7 parts per billion indicates an associated risk to humans. Mr. Davids and Mr. Moran will go into further detail at the open meeting at 3:00 P.M. MARCH 25, 1980 A regular meeting of the Southold Town Board was held on Tuesday, March 25, 1980 at the Southold Town Hall, MainRoad, $outhold, New York. Supervisor Pell opened the meeting at 3:00 P.M. with the following present: SuperviSor WilliamR. Pell III Councilman Henry W. Drum Councilman John J. Nickles Councilman Lawrence Murdock, Jr. Councilman George R. Sullivan Town Clerk Judith T. Terry Town Attorney Robert W, Tasker Highway Superintendent Raymond C. Dean Deputy Supervisor Marie Bauer Johnson Absent: Justice Francis T. Doyen Supervisor Pell introduced Herbert DaVids and Dennis Moran of the Suffolk county Department of Health Services who were sent out today at the request of Supervisor Pell to discuss Temik.,-- Herbert DauidS, Chief of Environmental Health, D~ision of Public Health, Department of Health Services. He stated, they have been struggling with the problem of Temik and other'more'recent organic chemicals in the ground water supply in Suffolk County _for the last few years; Temik just since last August. Mr. Davids introduced Dennis Moran of the Water Quality Unit. He said they are now embarking on an intensive six week sampling program in the areas where potatoes are being grown and where Temik has been used; primarily in Southold, Southampton and parts of Brookhaven Towns. They are trying to do the sampling within a six week period.--Dennis Moran said that basically what they have is 6000 samples they are going to collect in the next six to eight weeks. What they are doing is electing sites within 2500 feet of potato farms. In order to do this they have approximately 250 square miles of area to cover; in the Town.of Southold alone thereis close to 70 square miles. What they are doing is breaking down each area into a grid of approximately 2000 feet square and they physically have to send people ou~ to each one of those areas to work one area house by house to determine ehat is in the area. They have to determine if there is farm there, how many homes are there and take samples. What they intend to do is go door by door, pick up the samples from the home~ If people are not home they will leave a note saying they will be back at a certain time or if~the people cannot be home to leave an outside faucet on and fill out the bottom of the card. The information reauired on the card is name, address, telephone number, depth of the .well and if there is a treatment unit. Attach the card to the outside faucet and when the men'~cOme back they can pick up a sample if the resident isn't home. This week they have people picking up samples in Southold, Orietn, East Marion and Greenport. They are advising the news media, radio stations and press where they will be working. What they intend to do is get enough data from each of the grid systems to make a definitive decision as to where the problems are, so they can define it by road and to indicate where the areas are that there are problems and where there are not problems. They will be picking up the samples, freezing them and shipping the samples via a commercial jet once a week and ship ~hem down to the Union Carbide laboratories in West Virginia~ Once they get the results back, everyone who's well has been sampled will be notified of the results. Once they get all the data together they will be able to make further evalu- ations of those areas that are infected, and will notify ,news media, town boards, public officials so they can be aware of th~ situation. What they are doing now is a sampling program to find out the extent of the problem, they are not in a position to give anyone a solution to the problem. The following questions were asked: Are they just concerned with private wells?--They have already done all the public water supply wells in the area. That was their first concern. Now there may be. upwards of 10,000 private wells in these areas and that ~s a rather large job to complete. Each one of the Samples cost over $100. to analyze. Is there any information on~any~samp~ing that has besn done so far?---There has been information ~iven to the papers for various MARCH 25, 1980 locations. They have found problems and that is why they are going into this~extensive sampling program. Can people call the Department of Health Services and ask to have their wells tested?--~ There are people ou't in the field picking up samples at this time. The easiest thing for them is to go block by block. If they have to go individually selected homes they would hever have time to pick up all of the samples in a givenchy, time. If for some reason when they move ~on to another area and an individual-!~s well has not been done then the resident should call. What are the health aspects?-~They as a county health agency do not have the toxocologists and all the people that are involved in registering the products. The products are registered by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. They got involved in the Temik problem after smme samples were taken from~farm wells by the manufacturer.and they have to inform the federal people that they did find the~m~terial in the gound water and then the ounty was asked to assist them~in collecting the samples. The levels ~that~_have' bSeh~st~is~ed by the New York State Health Department is ba~ed On ~a~t~ria'that has been found in laboratory test animal experimentations and ather things that have been done by the NatiOnal Academy of Science. That data is taken by the state health department, is analyzed and they come up with a limit which they feel would be a no adverse affect level on individual's. That level has been set at 7 parts per billion. They have had no reports of anyone being ill from the material. A health survey has been completed by the M~dical University of South Carolina who went out to areas where people were drinking the water which~ had concentrations of the material above the level and other areas where water did not contain aldicarb. The report indicated~ did not find any increase in illnssses due to the material. How ever,, based on the material~itself in a very concentrated form it is toxic but they do not have any ad%a indicating people have become ill from it. Is there any indication of cancer from it? .... Up to this time the material has been considered'basically an acute toxic-material. Union Carbide is doing the testing, aren't they the manu= fact~rers?~-They are. The only one that really has the equipment and techniques ~s the manufacturer because they are developing the product. When'they first started only union Carbide and~the Environ- mental Protection Agency .coUld do the testing. What they are going to do is, the New York state Health Department Will be either splitting some samples without Union Carbide knowing or bottles have been sent up to Albany which they will spike - put in known concentrates or aldicarb and those bottles will be sent to the county health department and they will put a fictitious name o~ them and semd them to the laboratory for quality control. At the pres~n~'~time ~here are no commerical laboratories that can ~un the tests. Is Union Carbide paying for the testing?---Union Carbide is paying for the laboratory ahalysis, shipping, bottles, etc. As it stands right now the county is paying for the collection. Do they have any'idea what it will cost the county and if it will put a crimp on other health department programs? .... They do nwo know what'it will cost the county. ~at is happening is they are diverti~g~ forces of people from other areas to assist in the project and they will be delayed in other testing programs they usually conduct. The papers are advertising water treatment products to fight this, does this work?---They do not recommend using anything at this time, the chemical is so new.'~that they do not have enough test data to know if i% is going to. work. If someone's home is not within 2500 feet of a potato field does that mean there is no necessity of calling the health depart_ ment? .... What they Will be'doing'iS those areas within 2500 feet will be given priority so they-have enough data. The 2500 feet comes from an~.estimate of the ground water flow. Ground water flow generally is very slow, one to two feet per day in a horizontal direction from a farm fie~d, ~the estimate was a foot per day so they are talking' about'a little over 3'00 feet per year and the material has been used fo~ five years or so. Theoretically ~if a residence is on the 'edge of a farm field and the ground wa~er flow i~0wards the home it will have only gotten 1500 feet away from the.farm. Willy. the testing range have to be expanded in the future?--- It may break down, it may be diluted with water, they don't know. MARCH 25, 1980 Have they established a r~t~§lln~chedule?---They are going to do 6000 samples and there is no way they will be able to go back and sample the 6000 wells on a six or twelve month period. What they intend to do is define the areas where there is a problem. In order to see if there is any change they will retest certain wells they have data on to see they change or drop down. They will continue to do certain key areas and possibly install monitoring wells. If they find it exceeds the 7 parts per billion what is the federal government and state going to advise as far as the people that are in the area?--At this point they would have to tell the people not to use the water. There is very little data on the material, probably within six months from now there will be more data on it. The program they are doing now ms not going to give~ a solution, it is onky going to define the problem and where it is located. What happens after that he can't answer. There mat be litigation, law suits, whose fault ms it? Does boiling water remove~the Temik? .... Boiling the water does not help, that is the problem. They advise the people not to drink or use the water for cooking purposes. How lon~ has Temik been in use on the North Fork?--~Since 1975-1976. Four groWing seasons at least. How did they find out about this problem with Temik?---There were a few people who were concerned about pesticides. This occured during the 208 water quality study and one of the areas was given to the Cooperative Extension, Cornell University. They were concerned about some of the new pesticides products that were on the market. A lot of the older products were-not soluble, but with the new products some felt there amy be a situation where i~ may get into the ground water. Efforts were made to try to get data on it. Tbs report was written around 1976-77 and they could not get laboratory capabilities to make the analysis but they finally got Union Carbide to come out and test some water mn a growing field where they had scimmer wells and they did. find. it in the scimming wells. They next went to homes that were close by the fields and found it mn the' drinking water supulies. Under the law unoin Carbide ms responsible to go back and tell'EPA that they had found the material. The health department was notified the lastweek in August last year and Since that time they have been trying to get a handle on the situation. How long does it take to disburse itself in the water tableS-- When this ~material was put on the market it was the responsibility of the EPA to check the test data and evaluate it, which they did. However, apparently all the data that was gathered on it indicated that it breaks down in pond water in one week, and that is based on a situation where there is microboilogical material in a pond, a very high PH pond water. In Suffolk COunty they did not have those~conditions, there is a very low PH water and not that much bacteria in the sand and soil and it cannot break down. The material they are picking up, they don~t know if it is the application that was put down last ~ear or the year before or the year before that The U.S. Geological Survey has done some studies around a given farm and EPA h%red a consultant to come up with a mathmatical model to determine how long the product will last and they did it around a given farm where they had all the data and they feel it is going to be there for a while; tow years at least. The indication now is that we have not seen the high numbers yet. A lot of the material gets into the soil, they found it in soil columns which means every time it rains some. of the material~is Still leaching through. There ms no way of telling how long it is going to last. What is the average count?---The average count is probably 20 parts per billion. Supervmsor Pell said he had several people from Orient stop in to see him who were very concerned and they wondered if the health departmetn could go into the Orient firehouse and test that well so if an individual well is down they could go to the firehouse and get thei~drinking water.---Mr. Moran said that is one of the other things they are trying to do, not just find the areas that are bad, but find the areas that are good. If they find the a~eas that are good and test the wells, people.could go there and pick up water rather than pay for it.---Supervisor Petl said he would contact the other fire department commissioners for their permmssmon to do the same thing throughout the town. MARCH 25, 1980 Supervisor Pell opened the regular board meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. On motion of Councilman Drum, seconded by Councilman Murdock, i%~was RESOLVED that the minutes of the regular meeting of the Southold Town Board held on March 11, 1980 and special meeting of the Southotd Town Board held on March 18, 1980 be and hereby are approved as submitted. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Sullivan, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum, Supervisor Pell. This resolution was declared duly adopted. On mo~ion of Counoilman Drum, seconded by Councilman Murdock, it was RESOLVED that the next regular meeting of the Southold Town Board will be held at 7:30 P~M., Tuesday, April 8, 1980 at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold~ New York. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Sullivan, Councilman Murdock, Councilman~Nickles, Councilman Drum, Supervisor Pell. This resolution was declared duly adopted. REPORTS 1. Report from Lawrence Tuthill, Town Engineer, on his trip to Washington, D.C. in reference to the flood plain maps. Larry will be back later in the meeting to make a verbal report. 2. Receipt of Town ~ustice~Rich's report for the month of February 1980. 3. Receipt of Police Department report for the month of February 1980. 4. Councilman Drum reported on a Police Benevolent Associa- tion meeting he aatended last Friday at whickmany of the officials of the east end towns were present. Presiding Officer NotO of the S~ffolk County Legislature had requested the Budget Review Office to conduct an in depth ahalysis of the Suffolk County Police Depart- ment budget. This was to look and see what services were being provided to the various townships and what cos% they were paying for the service. In brief, the Budget Review Office reported that there was a significant disparity, between the actual and budget staffing patterns. The analysis showed the east end towns should pay about $800,000 additional costs; that we are not paying our share. There were many reactions to this. Councilman Drum's personal reaction was that perhaps some of the services we are getting, the Seventh Squad, .perhaps our billing should be on an as use basis. It is questioned whether the east end towns actually owe $800,000. It has been estimated by Chief Cataldo that it costs us about $600~000 for the services provided by Suffolk County. The question has come up that perhaps we are closer to Peconic County than we realize. 5. Councilman Nickles reported that the Dog Pound Committee met last F~iday - Supervisor Pell, Councilman Nickles~ Mrs.i Maria Tejo and Mrs. Gladys Csajko who represent the North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. This ms the third or fourth meeting that they have had and feet that they are at such a point in their discussions and informal negotiations that their next meeting will comprise the town committee, the League%s Committee and their respective counsel to see if they~can solidify and move the proposal along. The League has submitted their latest proposal to the Dog Pound Committee and they reviewed it and Councilman Nickles does not think they are that far apart. 6. Deputy Supervisor Johnson reported that in Januar~ she attended a meeting_at the Office for the Aging with Mary Tuthill from the Nutrition Program and they were told about~a program that %he Office f6r>~he Aging wants to start in Suffolk County whereby they will provide what they call Case Management Sem~ices. This will be a service whereby they ~ill send a representative into various parts of the county to meet with nutrition programs~ and senio~ citizen groups to coordinate the kinds they do and services that are available for them, to make sure people are in th~ right programs. During the course of the meeting in January the~ mentioned that they do have an Inter-Agency Council in Southold Town 'and the people from the Office for the Aging came out yesterday and attended one of the Inter-Agency Council meetings to get a little i~spiration for how to set up their program. During the course of the program they did talk about the bus feeder system that is going to be out here starting in June whereby there will be a bus system that will MARCH 25, 1980 feed in to the main line bus system. They were discussing pockets of population where it will be very worthwhile having a bus go into and came up with two or three that the county had not known about before and Mrs. Johnson suggested that if someone thinks they have a p6cket of population that would be well served to have a bus come down once a week or so for shopping she .would be happy to hear about it. 7. Supervisor Pell reported that he was authorized by the Town Board to go to Albany with the other superivisors to lobby for Peconic County. It was his first trip up there on the Peconic County matter and it was hard for him to make a judgment, but Marty Land had been up %here three or four times. They spoke to different committees and when they were done Mr'. Land said that of all the times he had been there this time was the best received. The legislature is starting to warm up to the idea of permitting ~he five east end towns to vote on the issue this coming ~all. They are asking for a referendum and only the five east end towns vote on it, not the ten towns of Suffolk. Assmeblyman Behan has recommended several ways that this can be done. They had Mr. Behan's counsel with them as they made the rounds in Albany. Possibly it might work if they can keep up the warm response. Mr. Pell expects to be in Albany once, perhaps twice more before April 14th. The trips are being funded by Peconic County Committee, not the Town. The Town has two people sitting on this committee and they have some funds and are raising more funds. On April 14th there will be six bus loads of people going to Albany on Peconic County Day. One bus will be leaving from the Southold Town Hall at 8:00 A.M. and ~eturn about 1:00 A.M. that night. Those that go will go to the legislature before different committees, there will be w cocktail party from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 and then return home. The Peconic COunty Committee is asking for a donation of $5.00 per person from those - who go to help defray the cost of the buses. There will be bus rom each township and a band from the southside. If anyone is interested in going they should call the Supervisor's Office and askl to.have their name placed on the lis%~ The bus holds 49. They are going to overbook the bus31n the event someone~must cancel out. 8. Supervisor Pell reported-that this morning the Town Board went through the Senior Citizen/Youth Center on Peconlc Lane. There are several leaks throughout the building in the roof. There are one or two spots where the water~'was actually dripping down in. They had William Smlth, Clerk of the Works for the buildin-g, with them. Thwy are a little bit disgusted, they want to get into the building, take it over, but cannot do it until i~ is r~ght. They have withheld for three consecutive ~oard meetings a~$13,000 bill that the general contractor has asked to be paid. About 2:00 P.M. today Mr~ Smith came into the Board Room and advised them the contractor was at the building with his crew working on the building, trying to find where the leaks are coming from.

Mrs. Gordon said what bothers'her is the fact they have to act after the fact. She feels the public utilities should consult With the ToWn before constructing anything.--Deputy Supervisor-Johnson said that this is a county project and the pole was on county land and the county has approved it and county approval is all it needs. The explaination MARCH 25, 1980 thw engineer gave as to why the "monste'r" steel pole was erected is because the steel pole can stand by itself whereas a wooden pole would require several guide wires permanently. The engineer had made the decision that the steel pole would be less objectionable because there would be no guide wires involved.-,Supervisor Pell said he does not know of any law that would require the utility company to seek approval~of the Town.---Town Attorney Tasker said that Route 27 is a County highway and the utility company has a franchise to place its poles along County highway granted to them by the County.----Supervisor Pell said he would contact LILCO to determine what their policy is and if the Town could be notified in the future. Mr. Frank Costello stated he is a member of the Association of Marine Industries and they have had several meetings lately, all of them on the estuarine sanctuary and they are all against it. Councilman ~rum has been at their meetings. They represent the east end, north and south forks and most of the marina owners on the north fork are members of the Association. They object to the plan for many many reasons, Robins Island is a small part of it. When you have the federal government control 500 ft. above high water mare there~31s trouble and it could put any ~marina~ Out of business they so desire. They will also have control over all the creeks and boating. There are all sorts of ramifications. Mr. Costello said if the State takes the two million dollars just to buy Robins Island, to him Robins Island is just a small part-of it. Within ten years from now we might find ourselves in real deep water. Mr. Costello emphasized that the marinas as well as their employees all object and hope the Town Board will take another vote and reconsider the ramifications of the plan if it is passed.--- Supervisor Pell stated that Southold Town voted yes for only the study, not endorsing the concept.-~M~. Costello pointed out that Mr. Koppetman in the SUffOlk'Times last week said the east end to plHy a major role in the study of the sanctoary. Why, if the east end is going to play a major role are they going ahead with the study when three out of fiv~ towns said no?~--Supervisor Pell said that tomorrow night County Executive Cohalan will be at the Town Hall and he suggested that Mr. Costello attend that meeting. Mr. Vanderbeck said the Fleets Neck Property owners thank the Town Board for inspecting the foot of East Road this morning and thanke~ them for authorizing the erection of the barrier and assigning Councilman Murdock to work with the A~sociation.

Lawrence Tuthill, Town Engineer, spoke about his trip to Washington, D.C. on March 18 concerning the flood plain meeting with HU~. He said it was resolved that they would review all of the Southold Town lands in about fou~ weeks. They did agree that there were some areas that they would definitely correct. Mostly it is changing "V" areas to "A" areas. The "V" areas are those that would be attacked by hurricanes and create extensive damage to coastal areas. The areas removed from "V" as a result of the March 18th meeting was that area from Long Beach in Orient, around through Orient Harbor up to Greenport, Southold and ending at Cedar Beach. They wanted to make a further study of the area in Hog Neck Bay which ex~ends from Cedar Beach to Nassau Point. The area from' Nassau Point and in Cutchogue Harbor around to West Creek in New Suffolk were determined no~ ~e be a "V" and will be "A". For further study they wanted to look at the area from West Creek from North Hill on the inside to the eastern point they also consider that area to be an "A" and was changed from "V". For further discussion they were going to look at the area the inside of Fishers Island from North Hill to the western tip.~ They felt there was a possibility of storm ~ction from Lonq Island Sound in that area. He asked them if there was a possibility of building homes with cellars in them. The present restrictions are that the elevation of a home, the first floor, must be above that which is stated in the 100 year stage of the flood plain. It is Mr. Tuthill's contention that most of the homes along the waterfront would be better if they had cellars under them. It would be more useful and habitable and if they could raise the land around the house a foot or so above the flood plain act restriction.--Mr. John Tuthill, Orient asked Mr. Tuthill to explain the "A" and "V" areas.---Mr. Tuthill said the "A" area is a high coastal danger hazard area. This area they feel would be attacked by hurricane storms to the extent that the homes would have to be built on pilings. If they determine it is not a high coastal hazard area then the homes in the flood plain'areas can be built on posts or normal foundations. This was probably meant for homes built on the ocean where the waves w~uld go right through the homes. The determination of this is whether they would have a 3 foot above the normal tide. They figure a 3 ft. wave would knock down a building and in order to protect the homes for the flood plain insruance they would require the houses be built on pilings. At the present time under the preseht regulations all of the area on Long Island Sound, all of Fishers Island and all of the area ~n the Bay in Southold Town is designated as "V". They are presntty going to change this as Mr. Tuthill just mentioned. The "A" area is that which the first floor level of the home must be at the elevation they specify; 8 ft. on the Bay area and tl ft. onthe Sound. The foundation could ben-either block or wood post; a normal foundation. There is also a "C" area which is an area above the 100 year plain, but is theoretically the 500 year plain~--Councilman Nickles commended Mr. Tuthill on doin~ a fine job in discovering that they had a conflict between their report and the maps ahd being able to go to Washington and get any kind of change.--Councilman Drum said he finds it difficult to understand why'they ~wouldn-~t go from Wickham Creek to Laurel when just across the Bay on the so~th shore they are in the "A", ~et they would not change that "V" area to "A" on the north shore.~-Mr. Tuthill said that there were about six people at the meeting and they thought they-should review it further before making a quick decision on such a massive area.--Supervisor Pell asked what is the next step to follow this up?--Mr. Tuthill said he has made a detailed review report and he would like it to be typed on Town stationery and sent to HUD with the Town's requests. He does not think anyone took any notes a~ the mee~ting and he is afraid they might have forgotten some of the points that were brought MARCH 25, 1980 up and he would like to have them emphasized. Mrs. Shirley Crocker said that since she did not attend the March 18th meeting, she would like to know if anyone passed a resolution to place in the minutes in recognition of the services of Allah Goldsmith who passed away'reCentty.--A resolution was adopted at the March 18th meeting and it was the intention to read it at this meeting and it willbe read. "WHEREAS, Alvah B. Goldsmith, Sr. faithfully served the Town of Southold as a Southold Town Trustee for 34 years, setting the highest standards of public service and devotion to the people of the Town of~Southold, and WHEREAS, Alvah B. Goldsmith, Sr. died on March 16, 1980, NOW, THEREFORE WE, the Town Board of the Town of Southold do hereby RESOLVE in appreciation and inmemoriam to Alvah B. Goldsmith S~. to try to achieve the high standards' of public service and devotion to the people of Southold exhibited by him." (A copy of this resolution was sent to the Goldsmith family.) Mr. Frank Bear said that the chairman of the Save Robins Island Committee, M~s. M.J. Paul, is an election inspector and she has asked Mr. Bear to present to the Town Board additional petitions with signatures which rbings to a total of 1819 requesting that the Southold Town Board and Suffolk County Legislature act at once to approve the acquisition of Robins Island by Suffolk County. (Mr. Bear presented the petitions.) He stated that at least 1700 of the signatures are Town of Southold signatures. Some are s~mmer residents and some are younger people, but all are people who are concerned that Robins Island be kept from development and kept ~6rever as a nature preserve. He requested that~the Town Board give the matter further consideration and hope they will react to the fact that a large number of the people in the Town of Southold are enthusiastically in favor of this. ~They expect to have more signatures. Mr. Mike Stahl a~ked for what reason Mr. Kelsey was not placed on Tier II originally.--Councilman Drum said he never joined and never applied back in August of 1973, and the law does not permit it to be retroactive. He can buy into Tier III sight now. Tier II is paid 100% by the Town. Tier III is 3% of the employee's salary.--Councilman Sullivan stated that the Board has asked the Supervisor to advise new employees when they come on board of their benefits so this cannot happen in the future. Mrs. Gladys Csajko said that this morning she was under the impression a resolution would be adopted today~a~king the Town Attorney to get in touch with the lawyer for the Animal Welfare League relative to the Pound. She wished an explaination.---Super- visor Pell said Town Attorney Tasker had a lot of additional questions and said a resolution was not needed, the Dog Pound committee, NFAWL Committee and the two lawyers would sit down and work out the guidelines without the need of a resolution. ~rp. Jenni9 Pupecki. thanked SUpervisor Pell and Deputy Supervisor o~nson and the members of the Town Board for their help and concern. Because o~ the_$~D~rvisors t~eDhone call they got · mme~late response~rom L±L~U. - Mr. Frank Bear said that a meeting of the Town Board two weeks ago with the Mattituck Inlet Advisory Committee Town Attorney Tasker suggested a new local law which wouldlgive the Inlet Committee a correct standing in the Town Code and~it was in his understanding this was going to be introduced at this meeting.--- Mr. Tasker said that was correct but he was tied up all weekend and yesterday and he just d~d not have enough time to prepare the local &&w. He guarantees it will be on the agenda for the next meeting. Supervisor Pell stated that the park districts in the Town would like to meet with the Park and Beach Committee. Everyone stood for~a minute of~silent pra~er fo.r Alvah B. Goldsmith, Sr. for a~ of t~e work 'he did for Sou~hold Town. ~ On motion of Councilman Nickles, seconded by Councilman Sullivan, it was RESOLVED that there being no further business to come before this Town Board meeting adjournment be called at 5:20 Vote of the Town Boar~: Ayes: Councilman Sullivan, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum, Supervisor Pell.
