JUNE 6, 2000
WORK SESSION;
Present: Supervisor Jean W. Cochran, Justice Louisa P. Evans, Councilman William D. Moore,
Councilman Brian G. Murphy, Councilman, John P. Romanelh, Councilman Craig A. Richter, Town
Clerk Ehzabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney Gregory F. Yakaboski.
9:00 A.M. Appointment James Bunchuck, Solid Waste Coordinator updated the Town Board on the
progress of ongoing projects at the landfill. He reported that the permit for the Household Waste
Facility :STOP Program will exp/re in July and a renewal application will need to be filed, if they
wish to keep it going the way it is now. Mr. Bunchuck suggested that they move from a permanent
facility to "STOP DAYS". The trained labor force, eqm'pment, and supplies would be provided by a
speciality company at a cost of $1,200.00 per day. He has checked out the operation over in
Southampton and it works very well. The number of our drum containers were down last year from
181 to 74. The manpower needed detracts from the program as it is now. The cost for one man is
$19,000.'00, plus mining, supplies, employee physicals. A medical clearance is needed to do it. The
total cost for one person, equipment, and supplies with the removal of the drams is $39,000.00. They
are continuously told that they need to have a second "buddy system person". If they put the second
person on, then the cost would go to $59,000.00 a year. If a "STOP DAY" were held every other
month, the total annual cost would only be $7,200.00. There would have to be an advertising
campaign to publicize it well, advertisements in the newspaper and fliers handed out at the landfill
gates. He will check with Comptroller John Cushman as to whether or not there will be a reduction in
our insurance also. The Town Board agreed that he should proceed in this manner for "STOP DAYS".
Mr. Bunchuck alsO reported on the Dvirka & Bartilucci contract for the landfill. They are currently
digging another recharge basin and beginning to grade the overall landfill. Having a contractor do the
work is saving money, but D & B overseeing costs will be more. The resolution reads "at a cost not to
exceed $12,000.00" to arrive at a concept and design, once it is decided what should be done then they
will get into the construction. (See Resolution No.'s 25 & 26). Mr. Bunchuck advised that there is a
need for a part-time scale operator for week-ends at the Landfill. Councilman Romanelli asked if he
has the money in his budget. He answered yes, it is in his budget. The Town Board discussed the
setting the salary scale for this position. They decided to set it at $10.00 per hour. (See Resolution No.
14). Mr. Bunchuck also discussed accepting the bid of Edward Ehrbar, Inc. for the new wheel loader
and authorizing a budget modification to the Solid Waste District 2000 budget. (See Resolution No,
23 & 24), He also reported that he hopes to have an update on the Huntington situation soon.
10:00 A.M. Appointment of Valerie Scopaz, Planner regarding the water study and map has been
cancelled. They are fine tuning the map and it will be put on the next meeting agenda.
9:30 A.M. The Town Board reviewed IV. For Discussion Items as follows: IV. 1. North Fork
Environmental Council reques! for support in seeking County funding. Supervisor Cochran advised
that the Town has filed many applications for County funding and received and purchased marcy
properties, for preservation as a result, and has many more pending. The Town Board placed a
resolution on the agenda inviting the NFEC and the other listed groups to join them in seeking further
support. (See Resolution No. 33). IV. 2. l)virkak & Bartilucci contract for landfill closure,
already discussed. V. 3. Town Hall Expansion Councilman Richter reported that they are
investigating procedures for developing a reorganization and possible expansion of this building. They
don't think that the Peconic School is feasible. They are still waiting for a forensic report on the house
next door to Town Hall. Supervisor Cochran checked with Executive Administrator James MeMahon
who said that it should be ready before the next meeting. Coun¢ih~aan Richter will be meeting with
Samuels & Steetman Architects tomorrow morning. Everyone agreed that something has to be done.
IV. 4. Tax Abatements for Improvements to Historic Structures. Councilman Moore reported
that he met with the Assessors and they agreed that we should go out and meet with the School Disricts

V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know the Town Board has a policy that prior to the
adoption of any of the resolutions. This is all work we have done during the day, but prior to the
adoption of any of the resolutions we are very happy to answer any questions you may have, or
comments. So, if there is anyone that would like to address .the Town Board in relation to any of
the printed resolutions we would be very happy to entertain it at this time. Jack? Mr. Williams?
JACK WILLIAMS: Jack Williams from East Marion. I had a question with regard to resolution
#17. It seems as though this is a small housekeeping matter adding an affective date to this thing,
but it may be something bigger where someone is asleep at the switch. For instance, I would
think that on resolutions number 5 and 6 there should be an effective date also. We would expect
that two weeks from now somebody will introduce a resolution in order to amend those two
resolutions? Last week I remember, Madam Supervisor, that you were self congratulatory about
the amount of work that had been done during the work session, and during the Town Board
meeting when there ~vere fifty-three resolutions that were adopted, and I would like to suggest if
some of them are like this one housekeeping resolutions making up for previous errors why your
work load may not be quite as severe as you seem to think.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you for your comments, Mr. Williams. Isn't it nice to know
that we are human? Thank you. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response) If
not we will begin the adoption of the resolutions?

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are going to hold number 42 until the next Town Board
meeting. There is a couple of things I would like to check in relation to 42, so we will hold that.
It will be put back on the agenda in two weeks. That is the end our public heatings. At the end of
each Board meeting we have time scheduled for anyone that would like to address the Town
Board on any Town business. This is the opportunity. Sir?
ROY LOCASCIO: I live in the Town of Southold. I also have a business here. I would like to
speak on the recent change of parking on the comer of Hobart Avenue and Route 25. When this
happened last week I immediately called the Town. I spoke to two or three people. I, also, left
two messages for the Highway Department Mr. Jacobs, but they have yet to even return my
phone call.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I believe you and I talked for at least a half an hour.
ROY LOCASCIO: Yes, when I spoke to you. I was told that the reason for the change was
because of the new business in the area need for parking, and although I am sympathetic to his
business I couldn't believe my ears. If you remember I was one of many ~vho have been
scrutinized with~ the businesses with the amount of parking that is needed in the town to open
businesses. I am now hearing that parking is being changed to accommodate a business in the
area.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Who made those statements?
ROY LOCASCIO: I believe that you, yourself, said that it was to accommodate the new
business in the area.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think I am being misquoted, but go ahead.
ROY LOCASCIO: I remember your exact word was to accommodate the new business in the
area, and the increase of traffic the parking is changed. What about other people's customers?
Were they taken into consideration? Number one, you choose to put fifteen minutes parking a~
all times. The only other fifteen-minute parking that I know of in this town has time restrictions
on it, nine A.M. to P.M., nine A.M. to six P.M. This is fifteen minute parking at all times for one
hundred feet on! Hobart Avenue, a one-way street. Did anybody take into consideration that they
are diverting down that street by putting signs up that say, fifteen minute parking? The rest of the
town's business area has two hour parking.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: You have a point there. I drive down there. Do you have some
suggestions how accommodate the need for your business and the business across the street?
ROY LOCASCIO: As I said, I can understand from a business point of view that is limited
parking. Okay? And nobody wants somebody being parked there for three days taking up a
parking spot. I mean, I can understand that, but the res~ of the town is two hour parking in the
business district areas.
6/6/00 14
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Do you want to share your suggestion with us?
ROY LOCASCIO: My suggestion is two hour parking. There is nothing wrong with two hour
parking all the time. That way you can't have somebody park there for the full day, yet it is
conducive to any business. Fifteen minutes is not even enough time for somebody to utilize a
business, you know if they need to go in and make a choice on something.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: I was looking to see if you could perhaps do it. There are instances
where you can do site plans. You can show that if you got a business that is open at certain hours
and your neighboring business ~s not open those hours there is a way of sharing a Parking
situation. For example, the fifteen minutes limitation be from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
ROY LOCASCIO: I think fifteen minutes is absurd. I think fifteen minutes is tough to do
anyway. You park your car, you get out, fifteen minutes pass. Believe me, the Police have
already been down there three times asking questions of people who have been parked there, so
they have enforcing it very diligently.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: How do you make something like that work?
ROY LOCASCIO: I think that it would work, but I think the time limit should be to at least an
hour from 9:00 to 5:00, and after five longer, because, think about it, even if someone is in a
residential area wants to park their car there. I know the gentleman that owns the house right
there sometimes parks his car on the street. Why should he be told that he can't park in a
residential one-way street? We are not talking about a two way street here where you are
diverting traffic down this street. I think the town should take that into consideration. I am sorry I
didn't read in the paper that there was something about it. I would have been here. I know that a
couple of the other businesses were not aware of it either. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? Mr.
Williams?
JACK WILLIAMS: Jack Williams from East Marion. Several months ago there was a fair
amount of publicity that there was supposed to be a Route 48 revisited discussion, and I attended
that. I was very interested to hear the dialogue. I was pretty willy-nilly, and I wonder now
whether that is all there will ever be, or whether there will be a revisiting of the revisitation.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is scheduled for the next Town Board agenda hopefully. We will
be discussing additional changes on 48. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No
response.) If not, I will call for Board reports starting on my left. Anything to report? Craig?
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: I am looking forward to Thursday's meeting with an architect and
going over the scope of Town Hall and the renovations, possible addition, possible renovations
of Town Hall. That is going to be exciting m getting involved.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: John?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Report free.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I am not. This is a piece that has been developed by our Land
Preservation Committee, and it is gmng to be mailed out to residents probably Friday or
Monday. It is nicely done. It is a property owners guide to preserving farmland and open space in
the Town of Southold, and my little welcome on the front is individual landowners, a key the
future of the Town of Southold, and the preservation of our valued rural character. Loss of land
threatens the economtc viability of agriculture and our quality of life. Fortunately there are
several protection programs that can be tailored to specific circumstances and goals of
landowners, while saving the remaining open space and farmland. You could protect your equity
and conserve land at the same time by considering the preservation choices outlined in this
brochure, and it covers the purchase of development rights, agricultural district, bargain sales,
conservation easement, tax exempt installment sale, like kind exchange, unlimited development,
land donation, family limited partnership, charitable remainder trust, and lending the
conservation tools. So, it gives a pretty good explanation of all the different ways that
6/6/00
15
preservation can be done in the Town of Southold. So these, as I say, will be mailed out. I would
like to congratulate the committee on the nice job they have done, and hopefully it will
encourage some more people to take part in our programs. The only other thing I have to report, I
am on a panel tomorrow with the Lieutenant Governor Donahue in relation to, the Governor
passed a, it's part of his Get Smart Program. They are concerned with quality communities
remaining quality communities, and this round table and panel discussion is trying to determine
which way the State can help in obtaining our goals and maintaining them, so I am quite pleased
that I was asked to take part. That is about it. We have been busy once again. Can I have a
motion to adjourn?
