Romanelli, Councilman Craig A. Richter, Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney Gregory F. Yakaboski. Absent: Councilman William D. Moore was not present at the work session, but will be present at the regular meeting. 9:00 a.m. Appointment - Valerie Scopaz, Planner Re: Park & Playground Fees. Ms. Scopaz appeared before the Town Board to ask that these fees be updated and increased. The fee is currently $2,500.00 and she is asking that it be doubled. The Town of Riverhead charges $5,000.00 and she asked that our fee be increased to the same amount. Property values have risen tremendously and these fees should be increased accordingly. Southampton's fee is 20% of the value of the property on any new lot that you create other than on an existing dwelling. Councilman Richter questioned if this was on major and minor subdivision lots. Only major subdivisions call for park and playground area and this is on residential lots only. Supervisor Cochran stated that she was agreeable to having the Town Attorney draft a Local Law, meanwhile she asked the Town Attorney to distribute a copy of Riverhead's Local law for everyone to look at. 9:20 a.m. IV. For Discussion Items were reviewed by the Town Board. IV. 1. Comptroller's request for clarification for the second signatory on the Receiver of Taxes checks.

Councilman Richter advised that he has a proposal from Suffolk Security to install water sensors in the vault at a cost of $798.00 Supervisor Cochran thought that it could be paid for out of Buildings and Maintenance. Councilman Richter will take care of it to make sure it happens. Supervisor Cochran advised that a complete evaluation of the condition of all of the pipes will be made when the system change over from air conditioning to heat is made. IV. 3. Fencing for Cemetery. Request for repair of fencing at Hashamomack Cemetery at Albertson Lane, Greenport, made by Mrs. Andrew Dzenkowski was transmitted to the Town Board by Historian Antonia Booth.

At the next Town Board meeting a resolution would be put on to hire the individuals by name as previously selected by the Town Board police committee.

V. RESOLUTIONS. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know the Town Board has a policy in relation to resolutions that we will be acting on. If there is anyone that would like to address the Town Board before action on the resolutions we certainly will entertain that at this time. At the end of the meeting there is time that you may address and share with the Town Board any of your concerns in relation to any Town business. Right now, it is in relation to any of the resolutions? Mr. Siegmann? ED SIEGMANN: My name is Ed Siegmann, and I want you to know what I have to say tonight has nothing to do with any of the organizations I belong to. It is my own thoughts, and I also want to let you know that I don't particularly have anything the fact that you don't want the east end to look like the west end, but I do have a feeling that in some instances you are going too far. Reading the paper last week I saw where the North Fork Environmental Council said that the people would be satisfied, the people would be helped by these changes, and I differ somewhat with that, because I consider myself one of the little people that they were talking about, and I wish there were more little people that would talk about what is happening in the town with these changes. Number one, when you change agricultural zones to residential zones it is the little guy that picks up the tab, because the more houses that can built out here, the more taxes are paid, the more schools are needed, and more services are needed. When you take property off the tax rolls it is the little people again, who pay for it in additional taxes. When you had the votes in the last few years on spending more money in reference to buying development rights, again, it is the little people that pay for it, because when these development rights are sold, and they come off the taxes it is the little people that pay for it again. I don't have any particular argument with you changing zones if people are in favor of it, but I think when people are not in favor of having their zone changed I think you are treading on their rights when you do this. I notice, or at least I believe that the people that are making these decisions don't get hurt by any of these rules. I don't see where they will be getting a changed that they would disagreeing with, and I think there was a woman at the meeting last time I understand what I read in the paper, where she made a comment about that same thing that they said to her grandparents in Czechoslovakia when they came to take away our farm, they said the people 9/12/00 5 will benefit. I think you ought to heed what that woman said, because I don't think out here, legally I don't think you have a right, but I am sure that people who would want to fight you on not having their zone changed it would cost them a lot of money in court to do this, but I think throughout the country there have been cases that came up in the courts along these lines, and I think the courts ruled in favor of the person who is having the zone change. I want to mention something about the North Fork Environmental Council. They do a lot of good work, but they are not always right. Let me give you a shining example of what I am talking about. If you recall not too long ago they wanted the County to buy Robins Island for $11,000,000. They never considered the fact that if Robins Island was taken off the rolls the people in New Suffolk would have to pick up all the taxes that Robins Island pays, and one of the big things down there would be the school taxes they would have to pick up. Thank God a guy like Bacon came along and bought it, which didn't make it necessary again for the little people to suffer because of the fact that their taxes would go up because there was change being made. I would like to say to Mr. Romanelli, I appreciate the fact that somebody on the Board has a feeling for the people that they should not abused when it comes to changing the zones, and I would hope that when you vote for this that more people feel the way you do about it. I just hope that more people instead of talking down at the A&P or down at the shopping center, or in their living rooms, they talk about these things of what is happening out here. I wish they would come up and speak here also, because I think you should know how the people feel who is considered, quote, the little people. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Mrs. Hussie? ALICE HUSSIE: Alice Hussie, Southold. First of all, I would like to know what happened between 8:45 and 10:15, so that there are more zone changes going to be thought about at the 10:15 list, that you put out? Did something go on, or was this a misprint or what? TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: The ones that are on for resolutions, Alice, between the SEQRA and the actual vote on the Local Law tonight are the forty that were advertised, and were advertised to be on a vote tonight. There was a misunderstanding on my part, and the Board had a discussion as you know at the Work Session at the previous Tuesday. There was some talk back and forth, and discussions on the thing on the different resolutions, and I was sure if the actual vote was going to be taken on certain ones. That was my fault. It was my misunderstanding, and what happens is we simple kept going with as advertised. ALICE HUSSIE: Then, there was a technical glitch. Nevertheless Resolution 77 onward, the rationale for these zone changes is fuzzy, confusing, and all together mind-boggling. At one time the goal was to preserve vistas. That changed to the need to preserve our water supply, and the latest metamophis is that the hamlet centers must be maintained as viable business centers. The philosophy and the actions are not in sync. Let's start with preserving the vistas. In the section of Route 48 that is the most extensive and beautiful existing vistas. That is Cutchogue between Mary's Road and Ackerly Pond maybe, or Henry's Lane in Peconic, Henry's Lane. Not one property was changed, or even considered for a change, and I am not suggesting that that should be changed to business or something else. I am suggesting that it should be changed to something that is even firmer, and surer, than AC, so that we would not have any houses or anything else going up there, but we never talked about that. Yet using the same argument, preserving the vistas, you propose changing properties west of Kenny's Road, and already developed to AC. The next excuse is that our water resources must be saved. Using the change proposed of B for Business to AC Agricultural Conservation west of Kenny's Road are we to forget the statistics that the Suffolk County Planning Department has given us via the Jones Report, that fanning uses more water than any other activity? Homes are the next greatest users. Which brings us to the change in Mattituck, those seventy industrial acres where the dual highway meets the single highway. That was Industrial changed to R80, which will allow thirty-five houses to be built there, a big use of water. So, that kind of shoots a hole in that reason. The latest purpose for these zone changes was what I perceive as a friendly hand extended to the businessmen in town. Keep business in the hamlet centers, and turn B zones into LB. That will create a situation that is opposite your goal. I am sure you have checked the uses in B, HB and LB, as I did. You found that, as I did, that with only a few exceptions they are the same. Ah, but you say, they are not uses by right. No, but the Zoning Board is not renowned for turning aside applications for relief, and soon you won't be able to distinguish HB and LB from each other. I am not going to recite the uses, but I have the list, and you will find that there are very few that are not allowed in HB, that are allowed in LB, therefore there is a drawing from the hamlet centers up to Route 48. The only difference between what goes on Route 48 or the Main Road is the possibility of an auditorium, a bus or train station, and a theatre. That is what the list will show you. 9/12/00 6 How does this help or enhance the business zone? The answer is it doesn't. In fact, it draws away. I would suspect that you are also going to be called upon a great number of spot zoning situations you have created. To name just one, right up here on the corner of Horton' s Lane and 48 within less than a quarter of mile you have one properly of B zone, one properly of RO zone, an LB zone, and an AC zone. It doesn't make sense. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Alice. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Town Board? CHRISTOPHER HUFE: My name is Christopher Hufe. Our properly is Future Machine Products. To me this town is Utopia. I can drive a half-mile to work. I absolutely love it. Now, we have been in business 35 years here. Our business is an old potato barn, and we really do lack the space, and eventually we would like to, you know, put up another building. We do have a piece of properly that would allow us to do that. As of now we are not in financial position to this, but I plan on being here for my whole life. I am here for the long haul, and I want to raise my family in this town. I want to mn a business in this town. My parents have had this business for thirly-five years, and I plan on keeping it, and the only way I will be able to do that is if I have the option in the future to use this properly to building up. Right we lack the space. We could hire more employees, keep living in this town. I mean, there is a real lack of people living in this town. People graduate and then they move out, and I know because I graduated in 1989, and there is really not many of my classmates left. I know a lot of them would like to come back to this town. We have the type of business that could keep people working in this town. We do a lot of medical instrumentation parts, surgical hardware, and there is a good chance that some of our parts actually, if you had surgery some of our parts were used on your surgery. I just have to say I would be willing to put a covenant in the deed. I mean to me I will give you my word that I will not sell out to a big box chain store. If you want a covenant in the deed I will do that, but I plan on keeping that properly, and I am not even going to say I am going to do anything with it, but I just want to option to do something with it, because right now the building is not adequate, and we don't have the right cement floor, the machines aren't bolted down correctly, and it is adequate, but not to the extent where we can mn the machines at capacity, and be more productive with them. I am just concerned that this town is listening to these, so called experts, these Cramer and Jones, but I mean, why not listen to the people. I mean, Cramer and Jones do not live in this town. The people live in this town, the people that have been in this town for years, and generations, and I think we have to allow young people to be able to come back in this town, and by changing all these zones I just don't see how young people can set up shop, or just prosper in this town. You are either a professional in this town, or you are out. There are not blue-collar workers anymore. That is all I have to say. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? BILL PENNEY: My name is Bill Penney. I know I have been up here numerous times. I just want, again, say the I feel that zoning changes on personal businesses is wrong, and I agree with Mr. Hufe, and what he just said. You know, I started my business working out of the back of my truck in Southold. I love this town to death. We built it up to what we have now, and we were told when we bought the building almost twenly years ago that is where the town wanted us, and that was great, get off the Main Road, and move up to the North Road, and I bought an existing gas station, which was a service center, and a garden center. It was abandoned about two years when I got it. We put money into the building, fixed it up. We service the community, but I do feel that, you know, I see what is going on around Southold, and I sometimes think that maybe Southold is turning out to be a place for the rich, rich. Again, the little guy, you know, is just being shoved aside. I love the vineyards. I love to see what is going on out here, but you know, I don't see where changing our zoning is going to make any difference. We all want our businesses to do well. We want the properly to be neat and clean. You know, we want to appear good, and service the public. I just think it is a mistake to change zoning. I really do. That's it. Thanks. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? JOE LIZEWSKI: Joe Lizewski. One of our concerns as businesspeople is that this type of zone change will continue on both 25 and elsewhere. This can be done to these small business it can be done elsewhere. I really find it alarming that these people are begging for their Fifth Amendment rights to own properly, and to think about having to fight a court case that the town has unlimited money, and their money in fighting them back. Certainly the Fifth Amendment has proven to use many times that these people do have rights to their rights. The First Amendment is always looked 9/12/00 7 after because it is the newspaper amendment. But the right to own properly and have their rights taken from them we know it is a very arduous journey to fight in court. We know that we have to through all the State courts, and then possibly to appeal to the Supreme Court, because it is an amendment to the Constitution and takes an awful lot to fight, and an awful lot of money to fight, so most of these people are really strapped with the idea that maybe their properly isn't actually worth the cost of the fight. Maybe if they all get together they have a right to do this, and maybe they could do it, but it would certainly take a band of them to put all their money together and decide to get maybe a finn out of Washington to take on this taking of their property rights. It is sort of a sad day for me to see this ever happen. I always thought the site plan was always the saddest I ever saw, but this is pretty close to it. This is unnecessary and certainly not solving the problem. I think the community realizes this time this is not a political thing anymore. This is not an election thing. I think that the general public has come to realize that this is not accomplishing any real goals on the North Road. It is just the taking of a few small businesses that were told to go there by a legitimate government, and people are going to have a hard time trusting anything that this government does thereafter. It is a pretty sad scenario. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.)

We did have the Trustees come in and talk about this, and the first go around discussion centered more on the resources that they have employ to take on this extra jurisdictional area, and it is a jurisdictional area. It doesn't create hard and fast line. Like the existing 75 feet rule is not a hard and fast line. It is the area in which activity takes place that you then must go to them for a permit as part of the Voorhis Study, and the water analysis is one of several suggestions that was made was to increase this distance. Tonight for me at least, is the first time I heard the President of the Trustees now questioning the science behind the additional 25 feet. That is a new one to me. This number has been around a number of studies, so I just point those interesting observations out. I hope the Trustees assume we pass this accept this jurisdiction and work with it, because I know it is going to increase their workload. Hopefully they can move right along, and take care of business in a timely fashion. 9/12/00 13 Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Richter, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Supervisor Cochran.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. #23 Moved by Councilman Romanelli, seconded by Councilman Murphy, WHEREAS, there was presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, on the 6th day of July, 2000, "A Local Law Amending the Code of the Town of Southold, Chapter 86, Article I in Reference to Restricting Tobacco Advertising", and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on this Local Law on the 11th day of September 1999, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard thereon, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby ENACTS the following law: LOCAL LAW NO. 18 OF 2000 A LOCAL LAW AMENDING THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD, CHAPTER 86, ARTICLE I IN REFERENCE TO RESTRICTING TOBACCO ADVERTISING. BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: ARTICLE I TOBACCO ADVERTISING §86-1. Legislative Intent and Findings The Town Board and the staff of the Town of Southold reviewed land use studies of the location of tobacco advertising in proximity to schools, parks and child day care centers. In addition, the Town has examined the actions and codes of other municipalities including the City of New York and the City of Long Beach. The Town Board of the Town of Southold finds that restricting the exposure of minors to advertising regarding tobacco and tobacco products is constitutional when achieved through reasonable targeted limitations on such advertising in the vicinity of schools and other locations where it is well established that children tend to congregate. It is the intentions of the Town Board to enhance and augment compliance with and enforcement of federal, state local laws prohibiting the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors, and to protect such minors against such illegal sales. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that while the rate of adult smoking of tobacco products has decreased nationwide by fifty percent (50%) between 1971 and 1993, the rate of smoking among all high school students has increased by twenty-six percent (26%) during the years 1991 and 1996, and now 9/12/00 14 {}86-2. stands at the highest rate since 1981. It is further noted that this dramatic increase has occurred contrary to and at variance with the laws of all fifty states prohibiting sale and distribution of tobacco products to minors, and the pledge of all tobacco product manufacturers to adhere to a voluntary industry code prohibiting advertising of such products in a manner appealing to minors. In 1991, a study of the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that, "... cigarette advertising encourages youth to smoke and should be banned." In 1994, a report of the National Institute of Medicine stated that, "...the substantial convergent evidence that advertising and promotion, increase tobacco use by youth is impressive and.., provided a strong basis for legal regulation." In 1995, a report of the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that, "...cigarette marketing practices appeared to be the most likely account for [the] increase in teen smoking initiation rates." In 1997, Liggett & Myers, Inc., a cigarette manufacturer, made the following acknowledgement in executing a settlement agreement with the Attorney Generals of 17 states, including the State of New York, "...Liggett acknowledges that the tobacco industry markets to 'youth', which means those under 18 years of age..." Based upon the preponderance of the evidence that tobacco products are advertised and promoted to minors, and that the rate of use of tobacco products by minors has drastically increased contrary to legislation prohibiting the sale or distribution of such products to minors, the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby finds and declares it to be in the best interests of minors residing and/or otherwise present within the Town to enact affirmative, reasonable and constitutionally permissible restrictions on the advertising of tobacco products. By enacting this legislation, it is the intent of the Town Board to promote compliance with an enforcement of federal, state and local laws prohibiting sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors, and therefore, in deference to the protections afforded by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, this legislation has been narrowly drafted to place reasonable time, place and manner restrictions on such advertising in those locations where it is well established that minor tend to congregate, while not imposing restrictions on such advertising clearly directed to adults.

There was a multi- billion dollar lawsuit with the Attorneys of probably forty or more states involving the tobacco industry, and I went to the Internet and it is over 120 pages long, and it puts forth all kinds of things, and mind you I don't own stock in tobacco companies, I don't smoke, so I am not a pro-tobacco person at all, but I look at a Local Law like this, it says we are going to restrict advertising on a product, and say this is touchy feely good legislation which is going to have no meaningful impact, and I don't mean to embarrass or you guys are all entitled to do this because it is going to pass, but I 9/12/00 17 just don't think this is the kind of stuff the Town Board needs to focusing it's attention, so I vote, no.

The Town has attracted many second homeowners because of its "natural resources, abundance of open space, farms, picturesque villages, and the ever-present waterfront" (Master Plan Update, 1985). Due to this open space, the Town has a tremendous development potential.

Preservation of Open and Recreational Space The Town of Southold relies heavily upon its scenic beauty and open landscapes for recreation, clean air and water, as well as for its attraction to tourists and recreation seekers. The Town has attracted many second homeowners because of its "natural resources, abundance of open space, farms, picturesque villages, and the ever-present waterfront" (Master Plan Update, 1985). Due to this open space, the Town has a tremendous development potential. Bleak pictures have been painted in a few documents, warning of strip-type development, suburban sprawl and water supply issues.

The outstanding needs enumerated below are the culmination of careful comparison of the intent and objectives of the town (as stated in past land use plans and studies) and the currently existing conditions along the County Route 48 corridor. These needs reflect the past and present vision of the Town and the work that still needs to be done due to the proximity of County Route 48 to the hamlet commercial centers and to avoid potentially conflicting development strategies for such areas. These outstanding needs we find exist throughout the Town and are specifically identified as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) to provide for viable land use development at levels of intensities which are sensitive to subsurface water quality and quantity; to maintain and strengthen hamlet centers as the focus of commercial, residential. and cultural activity; to preserve the open, agricultural and rural character of areas outside of the hamlet centers; to provide for a variety of housing opportunities for citizens of different incomes am age levels; to enhance the opportunities for pedestrian-friendly shopping; 9/12/00 83 6) to continue to the support of the Town's agricultural economy; 7) to maximize the Town's natural assets, including its coastal location and agricultural base, by balancing commercial, residential and recreational uses; 8) to strengthen the Town's marine-recreational and marine-commercial activities; 9) to encourage the preservation of parkland and public access to the waterfront; 10) to support tourism by maintaining and strengthening the Town's assets that foster a tourist trade, namely hamlet center businesses, historic heritage, architecture, a sense of place, of rural and open character, agriculture, and marine activity; 11 to preserve prime farmland; and encourage, the diversification of agriculture; 12 to preserve the historic, cultural, architectural and archaeological resources of the Town; 13 to ensure visual quality of hamlet centers; 14 to encourage appropriate land uses both inside and out of hamlet centers; 15 to promote balanced economy and tax base; 16 to preserve the integrity of the Town's vegetative habitats, including freshwater wetlands and woodlands.
