IV. Effective date
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as
provided by law.
I believe you have copies of the legislation, they were on the agenda out there outside the
meeting hall. I have a letter here from L.K. McLean Associates, who were asked to
review the information for us, 'please refer to the attached Short Environmental
Assessment Form dated January II, 2007 and our office recommends that a negative
declaration be issued by the Southold Town Board', which I guess we did tonight, right?
JUSTICE EV ANS: Yes.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I also have notice it has appeared on the Town Clerk
bulletin board outside, it has appeared as a legal in the local newspaper. A memo dated
January 16, 2007 from Mark Terry, Principal Planner and LWRP Coordinator concludes
'it is my determination that this proposed action is consistent with the policy standards
and therefore is consistent with the LWRP.' And a memo dated November 21, 2006
from the Suffolk County Department of Planning, states that this proposal is considered
to be a matter of local determination as there is no apparent significant countywide or
inter-community impact. I don't believe there are any other notices that are in this file.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: We do have one minor change that I would propose
that was brought to my attention today by Ruth Oliva. The chart that lists lot size and
maximum height and minimum setback, the minimum setback I would just propose we
add side and or rear, so that it is clear that that refers to a side and or rear setback. So
there is no confusion. That was the intention.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up before the Town Board and
address this issue of the accessory structure law?
THOMAS NOONE: Hi, my name is Thomas Noone and I have property at Mattituck.
My wife's family has been here for over 70 years. [feel that these laws pertaining to
private property is, comes out in September of every year and ends around February.
Your summer people are not here during this laws that are being proposed to be changed.
I feel that it is unfair to the summer people when they are not here for proper
representation. They don't all get the papers. I didn't get the paper one time on a piece
of property which I owned, I found out it was grandfathered in from the Hale family,
which were three lots. I bought the property from the Hale family and now I find out we
can't build on that because of the laws that have been changed. Had I known about it, I
would have done something differently. Second of all, I live across the street from CVS.
There is new owners of CVS, they are not abiding by the terms and conditions of the
previous CVS. It was sold for $3. something million and the new people there now are
not abiding by the terms. There is metal grate in front of that place that rocks every time
a car goes in and out. I spoke with the manager, I spoke with the Town Hall. Nothing
has been done with it. Every car that goes in and out of that CVS, it is like a storm water
basin, constantly rattling. I have next to Dickerson Marina, which is an old diner, which I
think is the new town dump. I don't know if you people (inaudible), it used to be a diner
but now it is the new auxiliary town dump. I call on this, no action. I left word with the
owners, I had to come down here, I spent three hours on the phone trying to get the
owners name. No one in the Town Hall could direct me. They gave me phone numbers,
phone numbers. Finally I came down there, I spent three hours on the phone at home. I
got the party's name, it was just sold for I think $300,000. And it is still the new town
dump and no action has been taken on this. Those are things in my area. I am surprised
that this is coming up now, I had heard that (inaudible) in the summertime when all the
summer people are here, that they can have some input on setbacks. The accessory
buildings are garages, I believe?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Principally.
MR. NOONE: Whatever?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL:
structures. Presumably they
facilities, that sort of thing.
Accessory structures. The law speaks to accessory
are garages but for other people they could be storage
MR. NOONE: This pertains mostly to garages then?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It pertains to, yeah, accessory buildings.
MR. NOONE: (Inaudible) when all the people are out and let everybody have an input
on this.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: When was the....
MR. NOONE: (Inaudible)
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: When was the first public hearing on this?
COUNCILMAN ROSS: 2005.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I just, on those other issues of enforcement, I would
please invite you to contact my office directly on those issues. I had not heard of the
issue regarding the CVS grate and I certainly, I am aware of the sale of that what used to
be a Chinese restaurant, then a diner. I was aware of the sale of that, I didn't know there
was a problem there, other than the building not being maintained but I understood the
new owner was going to go in and do something nice there, but ifthere is an issue there, I
would gladly address it and we will be out tomorrow.
MR. NOONE: Can I get the number?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Scott Russell, 765-1889.
MR. NOONE: Thank you.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: AI, to answer your question, I think the first hearing,
if my memory is right was in the summer in July of 03 and then I think there was one in
May of 05 and then we had one in November oflast year.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to come up to the Town Board?
Mr. Wills.
FRANK WILLS: Frank Wills, Mattituck. I think the accessory code is okay and I would
like to urge or suggest that having done that, presumably it will pass, to do a similar one
for the main buildings; basically getting out of the McMansions could be growing even
taller. I realize the limits now are 35 foot, I am sure, I believe that some of the houses
going up are exceeding that, including the lateral size, including the one in Mattituck that
has got 1,500 square feet. Maybe that is okay down in East Hampton and those other
places but not here. So I would urge the Board to start working on limiting the size of the
main structure and all the accessories to that. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to come up to the Town Board and
address the issue of the accessory structures law?
CHRIS TALBOT: Chris Talbot from Cutchogue. With respect to the, I think that we
should go ahead and put this accessory code into effect as it stands. You have got them
even tighter (inaudible) and they get bigger and the problems are going to get worse.
You have talked about this in the past and it was okay around Southold Town not to have
a lot of ordinances in place because usually people have common courtesy to their
neighbors not to do certain things, build certain size structures that are tight to property
lines and so forth, I think a lot of the new homeowners that are coming out here now,
cerainly you are right that the south fork pushing north. You are losing out on a lot of
that common courtesy and if we don't get these rules in place now, we are going to have
a big problem in the next few years. And I would say the sooner the better and keep
pushing forth with the enforcement of what is going on and if anything, I would certainly
do what Mr. Wills said about the houses, put a limit on them. There are plenty of
municipalities around here that have ordinances, say you pick a lot size, you go 10
percent of the lot size plus 1,750 or 1,800 square feet and that is the maximum principal
structure you can build on a property and I know that in the Village of Southampton
where I am a building inspector, any accessory structures regardless of size, the
maximum is 800 square feet. If you have a 20,000 square foot lot size and less, you
going to (inaudible) a 520 square feet, which is sufficient for a two car garage or a two
and a half car garage. The maximum is 16 feet in height, the ridge, and the same with if
you have a 10 acre lot, regardless if it is agricultural, that is something different,
(inaudible) so I would do all you are doing now and maybe even make a little tighter.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thanks, Chris. Would anybody else like to come up and
address the Town Board on this particular issue? (No response) Hearing none, can I get
a motion to close?
