V. RESOLUTIONS
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know the Town Board has a Work Session all day long the day
of the official Town Board meeting, and there is many different types of businesses that we talk,
discuss and then we formulate resolutions if we are going to take action. The Town Board has a policy
that in relation to any of the resolutions if you would like to address the Town Board now is the time in
relation to the resolutions before we take the action. Later on, at the end of the agenda work you will
have the opportunity to address the Town Board on any given topic relating to Town Board business.
As you know, this evening we have many hearings scheduled. I believe there are nine, and so this is
going to take a great deal of time, and I hope you will all be patient until the scheduled time of the
hearing you are here to address comes about. At this time I will take any input on any of printed
resolutior[s. Out in the hall there are seats up front here. There are eight of them up here. Maybe you
would hke to come in. Then we have some seats in the Jury Box. You are more than welcome. Would
you like to come inside? Mr. Lizewski?
JOE LIZEWSKI: On Resolution 19a, Local Law entitled Limited Business of the Zoning Code. I
would like to note that we handed to the Town Clerk petitions asking that we have over 20% property
owners to file that they (unintelligible) and hope it would take a 5 of 6 votes to pass it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Do we know if it is 20%? You have to take them out and count them.
Greg, may I see you? (Tape change)
JIM DINIZIO: Variances on these things, as far as I can tell we were never consulted. As I looked in
the Code Committee minutes just today, I see absolutely no, absolutely none, meetings concerning
these laws.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: The Town Board as a whole took it upon themselves rather than defer it to
committee, the Town Board as a whole.
JIM DINIZIO: I would think that people such as Gerry Goeringer and Benny Orlowski would have
some expertise in that deal w/th it mostly. I think it is unkind of you not to consult them, therefore I
think that you should take them back, and maybe have some discussion. I think that up until two years
ago that is the wav it was always done. It seemed to work pretty good. It seems you didn't have the
confusion that you have now. That is all I have to say.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you for your commems. Anyone else like to address the Town
Board in relation to any of the planned resolutions?
PAULINE PHARR: I have a question. I don't understand something. Maybe you can clarity it for me.
It is sort of what Mr. Samuels said. I don't understand what the kind of for a landowner who has
lot that has been made non-conforming size by a previous enlargement of their required amount of
acreage for that zone, so that goes under the Limited Business. I see you were going to grant a waiver
for mimmum lot size of 40,000 square feet if you can prove that you owned it previously to January
10, 1989, and I don't know what it means. I, for example, do not have 80,000 square feet, which is
required, and I don't have 40,000, but ~vhen I bought my lot the requirement was 7,500 and then it
went to 20,000, and I have 30,000 so I thought I had plenty, and I don't know if there is any harm
coming to me because of that, or in other words, if I wanted to expand I couldn't do it because my lot
is too small, or what? Maybe you can explain.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Greg, ~vould you explain it, please?
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: With respect to lot is 7,500 feet right now?
10/12/99 4
PAULINE PHARR: No. It is 30,000.
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: So, it is a non-conforming lot right now?
PAULINE PHARR: But when I bought it was well within the conforming lot size.
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Then the Zoning Law changed after that. Correct? What would
happen is if you took an application to the Building Department to do something on your lot, the
Building Department, one of the things they look at is the Zoning Code, and look at the bulk schedule,
and they would say, your lots non-conforming. What you would have to do is you would have to go for
the Zoning Board for a variance.
PAULINE PHARR: What does that exactly mean? I mean would this variance means they could tell
me, or they could say, no, one way or another?
.TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Correct. A variance is when the Zoning Code was enacted way
back when they recognized the need for some relief, because it can be very harsh against a particular
property owners as opposed to other property owners while it benefits the community as a whole, so it
was set up for many years now, not just you, but throughout the country is they have administrative
relief, Zoning Boards, ZBAs, and you can go before the ZBA and make an application that I would
like build such and such building. It is too close. Say the setbacks are supposed to 20 feet. It needs to
be 10 feet, and I would like relief from this provision of the Town's Zoning Code, and the Zoning
Board has the power to offer that relief.
PAULINE PHARR: And then why is this #2 in the Law 1000-827
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Correct, this is what the Planning Board, may grant a limited
waiver from the applicable bulk requirement for a minimum lot size? What this did is it allowed under
the LB section you need site plan approval anyway. You would come to the Planning Board. With this
particular section it would keep it before one Board rather than on this particular LB for the minimum
lot size, than have it go before both the Planning Board and the ZBA.
PAULINE PHARR: Only if you had one acre, and you had it before?
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Yours is 20,000, so this would be applicable.
PAULINE PHARR: Mine is 30,000.
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: There were a lot of numbers thrown around early in the
begnnning. Yours is less than an acre, so in this particular division they could not help you.
PAULINE PHARR: So, why did you one acre and put this particular date?
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Correct. Bill mentioned also, you still have the right...the
section won't help you, but you have a remedy to seek relief.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Your next step if this does not work for you is to go to the ZBA.
PAULINE PHARR: Do you lmow why you choose that mount of square footage, and that date?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Some of these numbers came up through just round table discussions
with the Board in trying to come up with an average, a reasonable number, to work with, and the
Planning Board putting documents of property and lot sizes, and building lot sizes in the LB zone.
PAULINE PHARR: I know there are lots out there that have been made non-conforming that are
probably aren't an acre. I think is pan of what I don't understand, and of course when you are
changing everything it is very frightening, and it is not our fault that we don't understand it.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you very much.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Madam Supervisor, I would like to correct that Jim Dinizio had said
before. Yes, we did take profession offices, business offices out of Special Exception, but in
paragraph D we gave it as right, so you did not have to go for Special Exception.
10/12/99 5
JIM DINIZIO: I just wanted to lmow how you came to that.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: We moved it. We particularly moved it into as right rather than where
you would have to go for Special Exception. We made those usages as a right within the dist15ct, not as
an exception.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the Town Board?
JIM DINIZIO: I know that. I.just picked it up, I want to know...
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Gentlemen, I would rather not have a debate back and forth.
JIM DINIZIO: I just wanted it to clear that what I was questiorfing how you did it? I was not
questioning the particular use. I saw the use there, and I just want you to know, make it clear, that this
wasn't done coming from all the agencies that it should, and that would be affected by this. Simply you
are giving the Planning Board the power, but obviously you haven't consulted.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: They were sent this through referral and comment pursuant to the whole
routine.
JIM DINIZIO: There was no give and take on this. I mean, I didn't receive this.
COUNCIl,MAN MOORE: The Town Board, as you know, Jim, is a legislative body, and we are now
out for public hearing to take public comment.
JIM DINIZIO: I agree but shouldn't you have, shouldn't you consult the people who are involved with
these things in a manner, you know publishing in the paper a few times, discussing this, anybody come
hall, hey, let's sit around and discuss this, anybody that might be concerned with it, instead of having
four different hearings in the same night, and having an opportunity if you happen to be in that zone,
whether you are limited to two minutes or five minutes, or whatever it is going to be to read this law,
try to understand it..
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We will take as long as necessary, Jim.
JIM DINIZIO: I would ask you again to actually read the laws.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Mr.
going to have a public hearing.
hearing.
Lieblien, in relation to one of the resolutions. Remember we are
These same comments might be more valuable within the public
BILL LI~BLIEN: Will you have a public hearing before each one of these, each Code change?. For
~nstance, 100-2237
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes.
BILL LIEBLIEN: Before you pass on it, will everyone have time?
SUPEVISOR COCHRAN: Yes. It might save you getting up twice, Bill. Anyone else like to address
the Town Board in relation to any of the resolutions?
BERNARD HEINISCH: My name is Bernard Heinisch. I live on County Road 48. Can you please
explain Item #18?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is on Fire Prevention.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: There is going to a public hearing on a change in the Building
Department Building Code on how a Building Permit is processed through the Building Department.
BERNARD HEINISCH: In which way? Can you explain?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Sure. The public hearing is on the fact of what we are trying to put
into law if an applicant comes in with a license and stamped set of plans by a licensed architect or
engineer, that the Building Permit should be turned out of the Building Department within ten days.
10/12/99 6
BERNARD HEINISCH: Does this alleviate the responsibility of the Building Inspectors?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: No, it doesn't at all. They still have to do field inspections, and in the
end the Town is not responsible if a plan is drawn wrong anyway. The responsibility falls back on the
engineer and architect, so in essence let the engineer and architect do their job, and the Building
Department is not responsible for that end anyway.
BERNARD HEINISCH: Yet the Building Department still has the right to issue or deny a CO on
completion. Is that correct?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: This just hurries up the permit process a little.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: They still have do inspections along the way through the phase of
construction to approve or disapprove areas of correction along the way.
BERNARD HEINISCH: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: John Costello?
JOHN COSTELLO: My name is John Costello. Would it presumptuous to ask the Board if you could
recess for a few minutes so that everybody could exchange agendas out there. I don't know what those
people are out there for. They can't hear you. They don't know what is going on, or where you are.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is the PA system on out there? We will try to make the adjustments and
keep everyone happy. Can you hear us in the lobby now? Okay. We are setting up some extra chairs,
so some of you can si~ down in front here. Ladies and gentlemen, we will just all have to do the best
we can. There are still about fifteen, sixteen seats I counted down here that could be used. Okay, since
the time has hit on the hearing times we will leave the resolutions for later on,
Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Justice Evans, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is recessed at 7:58 P.M. for the purpose of
holding public heatings.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman P~omanelli, Councilman Moore,
Justice Evans, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran.
This resolution duly ADOPTED.
Meeting reconvened
TOM SAMUELS! Tom Samuels, Cutchogue. There is a great deal of rumor and misinformation.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Tom this relates to what resolution?
TOM SAMUEL: The resolutions on the Zoning Code changes. I think it would be very prudent idea
for the Town Board to consider having informational meetings on these zoning code changes, because
they not only effect 48, they effect the entire town. I don't think that is generally recognized. I don't
think the impact of them is generally recognized. I think that it would eliminate a lot of the
controversy, if you will, if you hold some informational meetings, and explain to the people that are
affected on 25 and 48 exactly what the imphcations of these resolutions are, in particular the one that
concerns me more than any other is the redefinition of non-conforming use and allowable changes that
can be made to existing business properties that have been in business for some time. I know you feel
under great pressure to pass these things quickly, but I think it is a mistake at this time to move
forward without informational hearings fully explaining to the people affected exactly what Zoning
Code changes mean. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Tom. Anyone else like to talk in relation to these resolutions?
Mr. Carlin?
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin. Number rune, Madam Supervisor, what is the agreement for? It
says, agreement, what is that?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is a contract.
1 O/12/9 9 7
FRANK CARLIN: Oh, a comract. Madam Supervisor, you are going to have a long night tonight. I
will speak to McDonald's to send down some coffee for a coffee break later.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That would be nice, Frank. There are still a few chairs, three chairs up
here, and there are five chairs in jury box if anyone interested. You might have a long stand.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: They are the most comfortable seats in the house.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the To~vn Board in relation to any of the
proposed resolutions? Jim Dinizio?
JIM DINIZIO: On 19a, 20a, 2la, 22a, I noticed, and I have a copy of a proposed law, and I notice that
you have crossed out permitted not permitted anymore. I was just wondering what the terms mean?
(Unintelligible) How do you decide, professional offices and business should be allowed by Special
Exception, R.O.?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: We have to decide most that through Work Sessions where the
whole Board battered around over a number work sessions, battered around. There was compromised
on all side coming up.
JIM DINIZIO: What went into the process? What makes professional offices and business, I am not
picking on that, I say, what makes that so offensive in that zone?
COUNCILMAN MOORE: We got recommendation from the consultants, and a series of Work
Sessions with the Board banging these ideas, and have now tm'ned out for public hearing, which is the
subject of tonight's meeting.
JIM DINIZIO: So, the consultant made the recommendations, and then you guys hashed it over.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: That's right.
JIM DINIZIO: So, the public is going to have their say right now.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: That's right.
JIM DINIZIO: We will assume that everybody who wants to comment has read them all. What I
would like to see you do is actually read the law. These people would enjoy have that read to them.
Again, i don't agree with Mr. Samuels, you shouldn't really be enacting these tonight. Most time, as I
have been involved in government, almost thirteen years, anytime we have had a law that has through
changes, and the reason for that is the Zoning Board, and the Trustees, Planning Board, all get
together, do votes, and you don't hash out some of these things. You know, the Zoning Board in
particular, sees these applications all the time, and variances on these things, and as far as I can tell we
were never consulted. As I look in Code Committee minutes just today, there is, absolutely, no
meetings concerning these laws.
COUNCILMAN MOORE:
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We will now go to resolutions. Resolution #1 establishing a file system.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is that it with the resolutions?
JUSTICE EVANS: Depends on what you want to do with the Local Law. We have Limited Business,
we have Uses, Residential Office. We have Warehousing, and we have NonConforming.
Moved by Councilman Romanelh, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
RESOLVED TO TABLE the Four Local Laws Amending Chapter 100 until Thursday, October 14,
2000.
JUSTICE EVANS: Can we have some discussion before we vote?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: If you would like.
JUSTICE EVANS: I just hear a whole lot of Limited Business, RO, there were some things in there
where people made comments, and the Planning Board actually made comments on the Limited
Business, and the RO.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Warehousing was okay.
JUSTICE EVANS: I would have to go back and look at my notes. One that stuck out of my notes was
Residential Office. There were some changes there. I can't remember what they are, but it might have
been what the Planning Board said, or it might have been what the audience said.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: On the restaurants?
JUSTICE EVANS: Does anyone else have anything to say? Can they say anything right now?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: There were a number of comments at the LB what the potential zone
changes might be. I don't have my piece of paper can't find it.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: I took notes. What I heard to LB primarily was a disctission for non-
conforming use.
JUSTICE EVANS: Me, too.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: They kept harping on that.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN; Most of the input was conforming uses.
JUSTICE EVANS: I lmow what was RO. We had some question as to whether putting in apartment
above a store.

TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI~ Can I answer that one? That had nothing to do with any
of the changes. The question that he asked today, changes do not affect that question one way or
another. The purpose of the discussion, enactment of the Local Law, that is not relevant.
COUNC, ILWOMAN HUSSIE: But, there was something we did have to go and look at.
TOWN ATTORNEY YAICABOSKI: Correct. I was simply pointing out that this question didn't have
anything to do with the Local Law.
COUNCILMAN ML~,PHY: There was something about 40,000 for restaurants, and the Health
Department requires 80?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Three acres for a restaurant.
JUSTICE EVANS: Is the true?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I could call them. It had something to do with the cesspools, and the
number of people, and the whole thing.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: So, the Health Department will control the restaurant.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Any more discussion? There is a motion on the floor to table.. What are
you tabling? Which one are tabling, just LB?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: LB, RO, and not noncomforming, we will do more research on it.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: John, can I ask why you want to table LB?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I just want to think about some of the comments made tonight. That's
all.
