1. Statement
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and join with me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Before we get to the agenda, I would just like to ask for a moment of silence for the passing of
Edward Siegmann. I know everyone knows Mr. Siegmann. He was a fixture in this community
and for someone who never ran for office, left a huge imprint on town, state and county
government. So would everyone please rise for a moment? Thank you. Would anyone like to
come up before the Town Board and address any issue as it appears on the agenda? (No
response) let's move forward.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We have a couple of minutes before our public hearing. Would
anybody like to come up before the Town Board and address us on any issue of mutual interest?
Would anybody like to come to the Town Board and tell us about your children, your
grandchildren, anything you would like to share?
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: How you spent your summer vacation?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Carol, let me just give you some updates. First of all, I wish Mr.
Carlin was here tonight, he would have seen that we actually have completed plans for the
animal shelter. We expect to be going out to bid in about, February 22 and this would be

Town of South old Board Meeting Minutes
received by about March 22 and we will do the opening at that point and hopefully things will go
according to plan and we will have the animal shelter under way in the not too distant future.

people who entered the Town of Southold are basically coming as a destination to visit our
wineries. It was kind of an interesting finding for me. The report divided the Town into three
sections and found a great deal of traffic in the western part of the Town divided more or less
equally between Sound Avenue and Route 25. The middle section between essentially
Cutchogue to Southold includes most of the wineries and the farmstands and the eastern section
from Greenport on east, through East Marion and Orient, which found that the traffic congestion
on that road, while not yet serious or reaching the peak point is approaching the point where it is
becoming inappropriate for further congestion. So it is a very interesting report. Copies will be
at the Town Clerk's office and I think it will be useful in the Town's planning in the future.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: I also would like to add one other matter of clarification of
resolution 198 about the $22.5 million in bonds. What it doesn't say in the resolution is that
those bonds, which we will have a hearing on, will be issued to be retired from proceeds of the
2% CPF tax. These are not, these are not new bonds that we, where we are going to have to raise
taxes to cover them. We anticipate the revenue and it is actually a very conservative portion of
the 2% tax. That will come out in the hearing but people should know that is where the money
to retire them is coming from.
ELEANOR LINGO: My name is Eleanor Lingo and I wanted to thank the Supervisor and
Councilman Ross for attending our first Black History program, that was held on Sunday at the
First Presbyterian Church in Southold. I was very impressed. That program was just lovely. We
had a guest speaker, Mr. Barry Latney that was just excellent. A choir from Shiloh Church that
sang their hearts out. And I want to thank all the public that did attend that program.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: Thank you for your efforts of the Anti-Bias Task Force and for the
invite to that nice event.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will tell you, that for what was limited advertising to say the least,
for a first ever event, you had a very good turn-out. It was a nice thing to see. And a choir of
seven people that sounded like 400 when they sang. Okay, Frank, can't I get you up and say
something?
FRANK WILLS: Alright. You know where I come from, I would like to compliment the Board
on approving the $22 million to purchase the Laurel property (inaudible). So it is a great idea
and let's hope we have success in acquiring some of the properties that are being looked at right
Page 36

Town of Southold Board Meeting Minutes
now. I was there yesterday looking at them and they were impressive. Good luck in all of that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. As a point of clarification on that, we actually have a
substantial amount of money right now in an account but should our offers go through and many
of them look like they are going to be going through, it is actually good news that we need to go
out and bond against anticipated futures because it means that the properties and the owners that
we have been currying for a few years are now accepting offers and save it now, otherwise it is
just going to cost you a lot more down the road and that was the premise today, that everybody I
think stood behind.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: While we are killing time, the public might want to know today at the
work session, the Renewable Energy Committee came before the Town Board and presented
proposed legislation that would permit turbines, wind turbines at an agricultural properties.
There was a nice discussion and it seems the committee has done a tremendous amount of work
and we look forward to moving forward along those lines. A lot of work gets done at the work
session and to prepare for formal sessions and we have heard people say that the work sessions
should be televised, that is not the case now but that was one item that was presented today that
is not on the agenda tonight, so let the public know.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: So anyway, Lily is six now, Carson is going to be three in March.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Do you have pictures?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What's that? Hold on.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: And the next meeting, we present the drainage code for...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The drainage code for public hearing, very important.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: And I urge everyone, we have worked on that for almost a year
and I would urge everyone, it will effect everyone in Town and I would urge everyone to get a
copy of it and take a look at it because we are eager for help on it if we have to make any
adjustments to it before that is passed.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Also, Suffolk county the other day had the closing on the property in
Mattituck that is purchased by CDC, that is the site for the new 22 acre the Cottages in
Mattituck, the affordable housing community that is being built. I believe from what I have
heard, the ground clearing is already started out there over the past few days, so that is a project
that should be on the ground in the very near future. They are actually meeting shortly with the
lottery winners to develop a fair system for site selection on who gets what parcel in there, so
they have been working with these tentative buyers for a long time now and it looks like
everything is coming to fruition at this point. You were late, young lady. We had a moment of
silence for Mr. Siegmann, that was right before we passed the resolution making the Peconic Bay
Shopper the official newspaper of Southold Town. You missed those. How old are your kids,
Albert?

COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I have one in college. You have a few years to go.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Anything? Two more minutes.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: People might be surprised to know that our Justice from Fishers
Island goes back and forth by boat and what time are you off tonight?
JUSTICE EVANS: Well, while you are all waiting for the hearing to start at 8:00, I am leaving
at 8:00 so that I can catch the last boat back to Connecticut in order to get my husband to come
and pick me up by boat because there are no more ferries going back to Fishers Island.
Otherwise I am here overnight if I miss that boat and with the weather predicted for tomorrow, I
would rather get home.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: I hope that everybody that watches this on television understands
what we are up against here.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We have a requirement to wait until 8:00 to start the public hearings.
JUSTICE EVANS: We did get a letter today from Joan Egan, she was suggesting that everyone
in town watch all the meetings. We on Fishers Island don't get cable, so we are unable to watch
any of the meetings.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Neither do I.
JUSTICE EVANS: We don't have the possibility, though. You could get it if you wanted it.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I guess I could.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Joan Egan actually suggested that I should have the employees
mandatorially watch it and I should make it available to them during the day at work.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: As punishment?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I don't know, I don't think I could get them to switch over
from ESPN at work but I will

4. Statement
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: We have been advised that we need to wait until 8:10 to begin
the next public hearing. This will give people the opportunity to come through the door, who are
really interested in this and an opportunity to be heard on the next one, so we will wait a couple
of minutes before that time comes. Maybe I could spend a minute, the Supervisor and I attended
a meeting late this afternoon on architectural review in the Town and he and I had a good
exchange with both the Planning Board members and the members of the Architectural Review
Committee and I might just put out some ideas that I came away from for that meeting and the
Supervisor might want to add to that his comments. Architectural Review Committee in this
Town has the job of reviewing the architectural fa9ade and appearance of commercial buildings
that are coming in for site plan review. Architectural Review Committee does not review
residential buildings. That is, residential buildings as owned by regular homeowners. It does
have purview over residential site plans, like big condominium type projects. The purpose is to
not ensure but to try to achieve in the Town of Southold relatively attractive facades and
appearances of our structures that is in keeping with the historical character of the Town and it is
in keeping with each of the neighborhoods. When the Architectural Review Committee was first
established, it actually had delegates from Orient and East Marion and Greenport and Southold,
each of the communities, so that those communities could have flavor in the actual decisions of
the Architectural Review Committee. The Committee actually functions as a recommending
body to the Planning Board. It does not itself grant approvals. That is a misunderstanding that a
number of applicants have, even some town officials don't recognize that actually they do not
make the final decision. They make a recommendation to the Planning Board and then the
Planning Board takes it from there as they review the site plan applications that come before it.
Whenever there is overlapping jurisdictions and one body interacts with another one, there is
always an opportunity for inefficiency and some misunderstanding; the purpose of this meeting
this afternoon was basically thresh out whatever overlaps and duplications there may be and find
ways to streamline the functions of both the Architectural Review Committee and the Planning
Board, so that the public is well served and so that the Town's visual environment and it's built
environment is something that we can be proud of, that will continue to attract people and will be
part of our heritage in this Town.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think there is a general understanding about the role of the
Architectural Review Committee and I think they have worked well historically in this Town, I
just think lately it has been a little bit grayer with the overlapping jurisdictions and my only goal
was to have all boards working in good synchronicity together. The Planning Board has a
specific function, the Architectural Review Committee has a specific function. The nature of
what they do tends to overlap. The idea is just to get everybody working in a more, like I said,
synchronized fashion to make the process a little more amenable to applicants and to the Board's
discretion themselves. I mean, I have a Planning Board that is very capable and talented and if,
you know, if there are certain things that they should weigh in on, then that should be their
Page 53
February 13, 2007
Town of South old Board Meeting Minutes
bailiwick and then likewise for the Architectural Review. But 1 think it was a good, any time
you have dialogue you are making progress. And I thought it was good dialogue today. We
might have a way to go but so far so good.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: And I have got to thank you two for attending that and taking this
issue on to straighten it out because it is of some concern on people who apply to the Planning
Board.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right.
MR. WILLS: If! could interject a minute, but a request that I would like to make to the Board is
to extend that function to private homes, too. To residentials. So that we don't get, not only
McMansions but double McMansions and like in Mattituck, 15,000 square foot palace. To me,
it doesn't fit here. And the other one is, I don't know what the rules and regulations on fences
are but there has been a, I guess it is a fad, an eyeburst of white fences, not just white but sort
of...
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Plastic.
MR. WILLS: It is plastic. Why there can't be colors, but they stand out, they are an eyesore. It
is my own feeling but it is a request.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The issue that you first mentioned regarding; you don't really need
the ARC to govern the residential side of the equation. Most of the issues you mentioned,
McMansions etc could be governed from town code. You know, we had discussions about that.
Historically maybe the time has come to revisit that issue but the Architectural Review
Committee's mission wouldn't be to set those type of parameters, they don't really govern
building height, building size etc., only the town code does that and any changes that you want to
see have to be part of the town code, not left to a discretionary body, particularly one that is
advisory in nature.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: One small step in the direction that you suggested was that the
Town Board today agreed to look seriously into restricting the size of buildings with the lot
coverage percentage, which is 20 percent. So there would be 20 percent of buildable area on a
lot, not 20 percent of total area. And we don't, we still have a ways to go but we agreed to look
into it and to come back with some proposals to the Board.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Some of the visual misunderstandings is that people build houses
that seem far too large for the parcel but the parcel might have significant portion that is either
underwater or brackish and they get, under current code, 20 percent lot coverage credit for the
entirety of the parcel even if it is a non-buildable section of the parcel. So you have, I think in
the paper last year they had focused on one house in particular down in New Suffolk that looked
enormous compared to the lot size. The lot size was a lot larger on paper than it was visually, so
that is an issue that we are taking up now as to whether we should codify the single building lots
just the way the general subdivision code is which the general subdivision code does not give
you benefit of the part of the parcel that is not buildable, you have to subtract that from your lot
Page 54
February 13, 2007
Town of South old Board Meeting Minutes
yield. We would consider maybe applying that to the residential single and separate building lot
Issue. You know, it is something we are going to look at.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Having just discussed the Issue of Architectural Review
Committee, the next public hearing touches on that committee.
5. Set the Public Hearing for a Local Law In Relation to Site Plan Review of Landmarked
Properties for February 13, 2007 At 8:10 PM
COMMENTS - Current Meeting:
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN WHEREAS, there has been
presented to the Town Board of the Town of South old, Suffolk County, New York, on the 16th
day of January, 2007 a Local Law entitled "A Local Law in relation to Site Plan Review of
Landmarked Properties" and
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public hearing on the
aforesaid Local Law at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, on the
13th dav of Februarv, 2007 at 8:10 p.m. at which time all interested persons will be given an
opportunity to be heard.
The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Site Plan Review of
Landmarked Properties" reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2007
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Site Plan Review of Landmarked
Properties" .
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board ofthe Town of Southold as follows:
I. Purpose - Site plan applications that also require review of the Historic Preservation
Commission under the Historic Landmarks Preservation Law are currently subject to
duplicative and sometimes conflicting architectural review. This Amendment would
eliminate that unnecessary step only when the Landmarks Law already provides for such
review.
II. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
S280-131. Review procedure. [Amended 5-15-1995 by L.L. No. 7-1995; 12-27-1995
by L.L. No. 25-1995; 12-14-2004 by L.L. No. 25-2004]
C. When the Planning Board determines said application to be acceptable, it shall, within 10
business days of such determination, distribute said application and documentation to the Town,
county and state agencies having jurisdiction, for their comment. Such referral shall include a
referral to the Architectural Review Committee. The Architectural Review Committee shall
make a written recommendation to the Planning Board on the site plan within 10 business days
of receipt of the referral. If the Committee fails to make a recommendation within this time
Page 55
February 13, 2007
Town of South old Board Meeting Minutes
period, the project shall proceed to the Planning Board for consideration without Committee
review. Notwithstanding the foregoing. applications involving onlv structures requiring review
bv the Historic Preservation Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness under Chapter 170
ofthis Code. Historic Landmark Preservation Law. shall not also be referred to the Architectural
Review Committee for review.
III. SEVERABILITY
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law
as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.
IV. EFFECTIVE DATE
TIlls Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided
bylaw.
I have a notice here from the Suffolk County Department of Planning, 'Dear Mrs. Neville,
Pursuant to the requirements of the Suffolk County Administrative code, this application, which
has been submitted to the County Planning Commission is considered to be a matter for local
determination and which should not be construed as either an approval or a disapproval.' And
from Jerilyn B. Woodhouse, Chair of the Southold Town Planning Board, 'The Planning Board
supports the proposed local law in relation to site plan review of landmarked properties.' I have
notice that this has appeared as a legal in the local newspaper and has appeared on the Town
Clerk's bulletin board. I have no further communications.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I just have a brief comment, although this is only going to affect
the projects and parcels that are, that come under the jurisdiction of the Historic Landmark
Preservation law, I think it is a step in the right direction towards cutting some red tape and it is a
good move and I think it is a start towards getting people, you know, if you are going to have
jurisdiction over different activities, you should do it in an expeditious manner. Not penalize
people for following the rules and I think this is the right step.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That is right. The, both bodies are essentially set up similarly, the
Landmarks Preservation Commission has two architects on staff. Their charge is to look at it in
the specific historic context of the building, of the structure, whereas Architectural Review looks
at the context of community standards, arbitrary tastes, those sorts of things. They are reviewing
the same things, landscaping, lighting etc only like I said, Landmarks is much more specified to
the specific era of the structure itself so it would seem somewhat repetitive to have two different
groups working on that. Can I get a motion to close this?
