Is there anyone here who would like te speakin favor of this application? ED DE REEDER: Mr. K~upski, I just wanted to find out, did you receive our letter that we had posted to you last week, from our secretary, regarding the community? T~USTEE. KRUPSKI: Yes, would you like me to read that? ED DE REEDER: Okay, uh no, it was sent to you, I just wanted to make sure you had it and... TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Regarding the uh... ED DE REEDER: Regarding the co~m~,unity. TRUSTEE!KRUPSKI: The vote was 24 in favor, 2 opposed and 2 abstentions regarding this proposal. ED DE REEDER: Correct, just wanted to make sure you had that. Um, I really don't think we have to review anything unless there are any questions. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We might have questions. ED DEREEDER: Okay, I'll stay here. TRUSTEE~KRUPSKI: Well, you don't~have to, we might not. Alright. Are we all familiar with this? ERNIE SAUER: If I may, I'm Ernie Sauer, the President of the Association. I attended a Trustees meeting a couple of months ago, just to get the feel of how you fellas work° Um, my i~dication leaving that meeting w~s that it was very important to youfellas, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, that the community be in support of the project. Excuse me. We had very extensive conversation at our last meeting, and it was overwhelming, the support of the project from the coa~,unity. That's all my, that's my statement. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. So, we have before us the plan to replace six separate docks with one docking system that would uh, that would accommodate um, presumably 12 boats. Did you...Yes? ED DE REEDER: Excuse me, Al, it was originally 7 docks. Uk, that's what our DEC permit was based on. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Does that include the Bear dock? ED DE REEDER: Yes, it does. Board of Trustees 4 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: TRUSTEE GARRELL: TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: six other floats. JI~ LYNCH: Yes. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright, now the Bear dock isn't included in this. And um, now this plan is worked out with the DEC, you have a DEC permit for this? ED iDE REEDER: Yes, and an Army Corps. permit. TRUSTEE K~UPSKI: And an Army Corps. Marty. TRUSTEE GARRELL: Question about, could you fill me in on the status, could anybody fill me in on the status of the Bear dock now? JIM LYNCH: I'm Jim Lynch, I'm Frank, uh, Bear's, uh, son-in-law. I do retain a permit for the dock and a DEC permit for the dock and as I understand the way the configuration is, it will not interfere with my dock and we. have no objection whatsoever. Thank you. Thank You. See how this is, Marty, this is I remember that one, yeah. This is six fingers to replace the six, the Uh, presumably, Mr. Lynch? That, that you would need permission from the property owners association to put your dock in also. I would think. Is that correct, is this the property line here? Between your property and the property owners association. SIM LYNCH: No, I am more east of that. ~E SAUER: If I may? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes, please. ERNIE SAUER: The, uh, association owns the creek bottom, so we wor~ked this whole th~ng together with Jim Lynch, and his dock does not interfere with the, uh, association's thing. If he chooses to put the dock in, the likelihood is , that the association., I'm not speaking for all these members, but the likelihood is that we would say, sure you can use our bottom. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright, I just wanted to avoid any future conflict there. ERNIE SAUF~R: ~nere's no conflict. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank You. Peter, you have any questions or comments here? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Nope, not really. Itrs , it appears that uh, there's no net increase here. Am I correct, there's no net increase in the number of boats? ERNIESAUER: Same. TRUSTEE KRLWPSKI: The CAC recommended approval with conditions. Recommend approval provided the applicant replant the area with Spartina Alterni Flora, also if applicant removes the floating docks during the winter, that they be stacked and placed in the least amount of land as possible. Will the, will the floats be removed during the winter? ED DE REEDER: They will probably be left floating in the winter. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright. And if they are to be removed, is there provision to haul them offof the marsh fringe? ED DE REEDER: We'd have to pick them up with a crane or pick 'em up on a ramp with a trailer, yes. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright. ED DE REEDER: But, Al, something in there about re-plant. We haven't disturbed any of the beach. In other words, Board of Trustees 5 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright, it's a usual request of the CAC and the Board, where there's an area of beach that we feel could support a. growth of our Spartina Alterni Flora, our Spartina Panes, and in this case, I feel that you could have a wide range of Spartina Alterni Flora in the inter-tidal area that would banefit, of course, everyone at large from the Creek's health standpoint. It would also benefit the property owner's association as, as protection of the property, and you know what what Mother Nature can do to your, to your, property after two winters ago.. ERNIE SAUER: If I may respond, Mr. Krupski? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Please. ERNIE SAUER: The DEC was very pleased with this plan, basically because we have a very large seedfield of grass, that grows, and is growing in and around the marina as it exists today, the boat basin as it exists today. It's growing at a very nice pace on it's own. Uh, we would like to allow that a chance to just take over, we got a giant seedfield, our entire barrier beach is covered, and that's what, uh, Mr. DuBois was so pleased with. It is growing by itself, basically. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But, you could accelerate that, the spread of that by, by ~ransplanting it and you could, it's something the community could do, probably in a few hours,itself, taking plugs from the thick sections and transplanting 'em on the beach. It's not something you need an engineer for or anything like that. That's something the community could do themselves. Any other uh? Are there any other comments? Do I have a motion to close the hearing? TRUSTEE GARRELL: So moved. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Second. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor? ALL kYES TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Someone like to make a motion? TRUSTEE GARRELL: Move to approve the permit. TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Want to put any, uh, any conditions on it? You want to follow the CAC recommendations? TRUSTEE GARRELL: Yeah, okay. You know, I was thinking, you know that's almost mute, what they said, but let's put that in there, follow the CAC recommendations. TRUSTEEKRUPSKI: Alright, of replanting the Spartina Alterni Flora. TRUSTEE GARRELL: If necessary? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Where necessary. Wherever there's a bare stretch of beach. And that, and also that the ramps not be stored on the inter-tidal area during the winter. Do I have a second on that motion? TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor? ALL AYES 7:40p.m. - In the matter of Latham Sand & Gravel on behalf of ROBERT R. GENSEL requests a wetland Permit to replace Board of Trustees 6 September 29, 1994 inkind/inplace 55' of 2 1/2' high wooden retaining wall which is normally above mean high water and no additional fill will be necessary. Located Hobart Road, telephone pole ~14 opposite houser cross street Landing Lane 1/4 mile south, Southold. SCT~ ~64~3-2.2 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here who would like to speak in favor of this application? TERRY LAT~AM: Terry Latham, Latham Sand & Gravel, answer any tions the board may have. ~STE~KRUPSKI: The retaining wall. This is the one that I bei~ev~ john Holzapfel looked at. Did he leave any notes? DI~ANE HERBERT: No. TRUSTEE F~RUPSKI: There's pictures here. DIi~E ~ERT: Oh yeah, Mr. Holzapfet recommended that you do with the retaining wall and just slope it and plant and I believed we called on that. I called your, your office, yeah. What, did you go along with that recommendation? TERRY LATF~J~: No, not really. DI~iR~RBERT: Oh, okay. Explain it. TRUSTEE KRU~SKI: Alright. Uh, I have CAC co~£~,ents here which recommend disapproval, CAC recommends disapproval because retaining wall is not necessary. Applicant should plant Spa~tinai~ front of the existing bulkhead to avoid the risk of e~os.ion. Now what is the uh, what is the reason that this retaining wall would want to be replaced? TERRY LAT~: It's really served its usefulness as far as the structure ~oes. It's been repaired numerous times. It gets to a point where, do you go to the expense of repairing it or just replace it? But the slope of the land, surrounding land and the adjoining cement retaining wall that is there help the cost to repair this prohibitive against what a new one wouldcost. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright. See this growth of Spartina Alterni Flora in f~ont of it... Is there anyone here who would like to ~peakagaiDst this application? IANEHERBERT: John felt that they didn't need it. TRUSTEE'KRUPSKI: Yeah. You can see frc~ the pictures, it's pretty straight forward. DIANE HERBERT: He said they're gonna ask them to plant a buffer anyway, so why don't they j~st slope it? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But they're not gonna disturb the soil an!r~ay. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Right. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI.: See? Although the heighth of tkis seems to be lower than two and a half feet. Is there a reason to raise the increase in height? TERRY LAT~AM: Well it's approximately two and a half feet out of the existing beach. The beach line varies a little bit. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: There's a pretty good crook in it, will you straighten that? TERRY LAT~LAM: Yes. I'll try and build a straight row. It either gets to a point sooner or later where it's not economically feasible to keep repairing a wall. There comes a point where you replace it. If it's economically feasible. Board of Trustees 7 September 29, 1994 That's what I recommended to Mr. Gensel. It's been patched and patQhed and somebody's nailed plywood on it to keep it from leaking and it's, you know. How far do you go before it's not economically feasible? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Um-hmm. Alright, we, it's just that the trustee who inspected it is not present tonight, and that's where we're at a loss for some of the on-sight details. TERRY LATHAM: Is it possible to have an on-sight meeting to discuss this? What the objections are? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yeah, if you like, we would. TERRY LATHAM: It's an existing functional bulkhead, it's just through the winter storms, it shows deterioration as you can see, there's some scouring action in the back of it where it's leaking. All it's gonna do is get worse. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Now this, this ends on the South side of the property? TERRY LATHAM: No. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: From this drawing, could you come up for a second please? On this drawing, it shows that it, it seems to end here. It seems to come across here and end. TERRY LATHAM: Right, it goes over this little beach area in here that goes up to this boat shed. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay, and what's to the south further there, is there a wall there, or is that just natural grade? TERRY LATHAM: Natural Grade. Trees, and there's another dock over here. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there all Spartina in front here? TERRY LATHNJ~: Uh, over underneath this dock and south of that. There's nothing in here, it's all beach sand. TRUSTEE KRUpSKI: Okay, okay. Anything on that? TRUSTEE WE~NCZEL: Well, as long as the uh, Mr. Latham doesn't have any problem with us delaying action on it, maybe we, we'd be better to uh revisit the sight. Because at this point, I.'m inclined to follow the recoA~mtendation of the CAC and the Board member who inspected it. But. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Who was unable to be here. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: It actually would be appropriate to... TERRY LATHAM: Well, I'm not only speaking from my opinion, I haven,t spoke in detail with Mr. Gensel about it, but I think if it comes to the Board recommends taking it out and planting, he'll leave it there. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Um-hmm. Sure. TERRY LATHAM: And it will just deteriorate f~rther and continue to leak. I don't think he'll remove it. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't think, I don't think it's it's so much the problem with it, the problem is the trustee that inspected it isn't present to give us a, and the reason one trustee inspected it is because it didn't seem to be a major project that one trustee couldn't look at. TRUSTEE GARRELL: And I think it's also a, I guess it's sort of become a, you know, a policy thing that we're just more cautious these days with doing, with what standard, you know, retaining walls and bulkheading, and you know we want, we'd like to have a look and see if there might be other ways, like sloping and Board of Trustees 8 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE GARRELL: TRUSTEE F~UPSKI: TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: doing it at all. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: TRUSTEE WENCZEL: TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: TRUSTEE GARRELL: TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: TRUSTEE GARRELL: TRUSTEE WENCZEL: TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: ALL AYES TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: planting and obviously, it's a judgement call in some cases. If the argument you make is strong and you ~now the turf, you know, we... TERRY LA~: Well, there's ~n existing wall there now, you're not asking for something that's nQt there. I know, I know, that's what I'm thinking too. You have a problem with that? I have, personally, no problem with him Personally. Do you have a big problem with this Peter? Uh, only in the fact that we've .had two recommendations to deny it. And, um, unfortunately, I' did not look at it. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That's our problem. TRUSTEE GARRELL: Yeah, that's the problem. (Too many people speaking at once, couldn't hear.) Do I have a motion to t~hle it? Move to table. To recess the public hearing? Move to recess the public hearing. Second. All in favor? Alright, thanks for your, uh, cooperation. TERRY LATHAM: Any idea when, or you'll notify? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well, you don't w~nt to wait till the end of October'. TRUSTEEGARRELL: Let's do it. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: So if you can, if you can... TRUSTEE GARRELL: I'll look at it right away. TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: I'll look at it right away, too. TRUSTEE ~RUPSKI: Alright, why don't you contact our office on uh, on Monday. And then we'll have to, we'll have to uh, have the public hearing on it to, u_h, vote on it, so you'll have to wait till next month anyway. Since we recessed the hearing. Alright then, then we'll put it on, then it'd be easier for us then to put it on field inspection, the regular field inspection day, we'll all go down there as a board, we'll meet with you. Diane, could you, uh, contact Mr. Latham and set up a time? DIANE HERBERT: Okay, next field inspection is the 19th of October. Maybe. If it's a Wednesday now, we're not sure now. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Diane will contact you on that. Alright, thanks. TERRY LATHAM: Thank you. TOM SAMUELS: TOm Samuels here, and I just wanted to make ar get a position where the board stands on policy here. It would seem to me that if this wall was a, a permitted structure, I would have no way of knowing that, but it would seem that if the owner has a vested interest in that structure, uh and should be allowed to replace it. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: However, the board has had, is empowered to make suggestions and recommendations that could be more beneficial not only to the estuary system, but also to the owner, and we wouldn't want to just go ahead and just blindly Board of Trustees 9 September 29, i994 approve everything without exploring any possibility that might benefit everyone. So we don't want to just, we don't just want to stumble along. We're trying to make the best decision. TOM SAMUELS: I appreciate that, but it would seem that there's a~ legal question here that has to be answered by the Town Attorney or someone. Because if it were a permitted structure, one has to assume, and one cannot deny that Trustees past use~ reasonable judgement in granting permits. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: We!ll, is it, is it a permitted structure, or is it something that.? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI= Where's the file? TRUSTKE WENCZEL: It may predate. TOM SAMUESS: It may predate the wetlands regulations, is what you're saying? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: It may. TOM SAMUELS: Even in that case, I believe if I'm correct, and I.'m no lawyer, but Ii believe I'm correct in saying that in the absence of the requirements for a permit, if, when the tidal wetlands regulations were passed to the trustees by the town board, that this is a preexisting, non-conforming, if you will, or whatever the legal basis of it is. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't know. TOM SAMUELS: If I am to say to my people that call me that you have a structure, I may not be able to get a permit for you to retain that structure, that creates quite a problem. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Um~m,. Yeah, but we're not here to try and uh help you're business along, and I don't mean it personally. TOM sAMUELS: I. appreciate that but... TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But Let me finish, but we're here to get all the information that's necessary to make a good decision, that's why we didn't deny it, that's why we didn't say oh no, it's out of the question. And without getting all the information, let me finish, without getting all the information, it would be foolish of us to make a decision. And it's that simple. TOM SAMUELS: That's not my point. I'm not speaking in behalf of this particular application. I just needa clarification as to whether replacing an existing structure, an existing legal structure is, does not go with the original premise for the structures, the structure or an absence for the town requirement of the structure was it not grandfathered when the structure was built? I just need an answer to that question. This particular case raised the issue. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I can't give you an answer right now, we're in the middle of our Public Hearings. I would be happy to discuss it with you at the end of the meeting. TOM SAMUELS: Thank you. 7:52 p.m. --In the matter of Diane Herold on behalf of BETH BLEVINS requests a Wetland Permit to relocate existing house to parallel property lines in order that a 24' X 24' garage may be built on the east side of house, a 12' X 33' deck on west side of house, a full foundation instead of concrete block piers, an enlargement of existing second floor, and enclose an existing Board of Trustees I0 September 29, 1994 screened porch.

Is there anyone here to speak against the apD!ication? ~ HERBERT: Okay, originally, she asked for a waiver, we ~O~d her to go for a full permit. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: CAC recommends approval provided the following s~Pulations are followed: move the cesspool to the front yard, near testhele ~2, as far away from the wetlands as possible, and re~tore the natural vegetative buffer. DI]N~ HERBERT: She has a letter in here regarding the cesspools. TR]'STEE WENCZEL: There's nobody here to represent this uh? TR ~STEEK~UPSKI: No, and the letter here, regarding the ce spools from Diane Herold, architect states: Thank you for informing me of the required fee of the above application, as yo~ requested, I indicated that the existing cesspool on the side of the house will continue to be used. Atright, we at this, we denied a waiver, because it was marginall~ our ~urisdiction, They have, um, they have, if you can remember~ that really large buffer, about a 55' buffer, I eevebetween the wetlands and the does the have further house, and um, iany corm~ent ? I!.iiS~E ALBER~SON: No co~uent~ TRUSTEE WENCZEL: No co~m,ent. TRUSTEE GARRELL: No co~,~ent. USTEE K U SK : Do I have a motion to close the hearing? STEE SARRELL: So moved. STEE ALBERTSON: Second.

On the, on the submitted survey. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I also suggest that they uh, they follow the recommendations from the CAC. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't think we have the authority to have them move the cesspool. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Well, we can condition the permit based on that. TRUSTEE K/~UPSKI: How can we do that? There it is, right there. It's over here, it's more or less right there. They're about 55'. It's a gradual slope. Do you remember this one? It's all woods here. TRUSTEE GARRELL: I'd love to see a possibility of moving that cesspool. (Too many people speaking at once, couldn't hear.) TRUSTEE GARRELL: What's the reason why the cesspool can't be shifted here, to that sector? It just seems like it's a bad location. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I don't see any reason. TRUSTEE GARRELL: I don't see any reason. Board of Trustees I1 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I think we should either recess the hearing, till we get someone here representing the applicant to discuss it, or we can make a resolution, and include the recommendations of the CAC. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What do you think? TRUSTEE GARRELL: Let's recess it, and talk, talk to the applicant. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well, we already have and I mean, we already requested that, and she sent back that, uh. If we recess it, it goes fo~ another month though. TRUSTEE GARRELL: You know, if they were in a hurry to move it, and there's nobody here to talk on it, that, so that leaves you with the impression that this is a job that will be done down the line, and so, uh, it's a matter of doing it right. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Um-~mL,, I'd rather close the hearing and hold off~ on the vote though. DIANE HERBERT: Recess. TRUSTRRALBERTSON: Alright, so moved.

We' 11 finish those. 8:02 p.m. - In the matter of En-Consultants on behalf of LEONARD ROSEN requests aWetland Permit to construct a timber dQck consisting of a 4' X 24' fixed walk elevated (4' above grade of marsh) a 4' X 14' hinged ramp, a 6' X 20' float secured by 2 pilings and a 5' wide path from house and dock will be cleared through the brush. Located 3145 Main Bayview Road, Southold. SCT~ 978-2-12 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Would anyone here like to speak against this application? Would anyone here like to speak in favor of this application? Let me read the CAC comments before I get Peter's comments. CAC reco~,Hended approval. Um, and that was that. Okay, Peter, you inspected the sight. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Um, yeah, I looked at it, I really don't have any big problem with the dock, I think it should be cut down to 3' width, the catwalk and the ramp. Board of Trustees 13 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: You don't think it'll interfere in any way with uh, that was my concern was with the easement, the drainage easement or uh. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I don't think so. Uh, this, you know this is a dock that was permitted and they never built it, and the permit ran out, so they're reapplying for the same dock essentially. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Atright, the plans I have show the dock to be 5~ off the property line, is that correct? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Right, I think so. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright, normally, you know, we'd like to see the traditional board policy has been 15'. ROB HERMANN: Do you have a copy of your last permit? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: That one stipulates 5'. Part of the reason for that is if you brought it all to 15' you're essentially up on the mudflat. Sot I'd just leave that. I have some questions about whether the recent work there is pe~£L,itted. In other words, it looks like there's been a lot of cutting of Phragmites on the property and uh. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well, on the permit that was issued on July 12, 1992, it specifically states the applicant is to have a 50' b~ffer area. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I think the majority of that buffer is there. I'~m not sure, there's some, some kind of PP~aymites on the south side of the house. Um, I looked at it today, I have not had a chance to look at the old permit. This application I'm looking at is for the dock. TRUSTEE K~UPSKI: Isn't this old permit identical to the new one? R©BHERF~ANN: Um, yeah~ except there was an amendment, uh, with your last permit, uh, resolved that the Southold Town Board of Trustees amend permit #3931 to allow clearing to take place 10' from line of deck, and that went along also with the DEC amendment which allowed them to cut through some of the ~hragmites and thebru~h between the house and where the walk was to begin for the dock. T~USTEE KRUPSKI: Okay, I don't think that's ROB~ERMAN~: The DEC Permit is still uh, well is in the process of expiring and getting an extension. TRUSTEE WENCZF~L: Alright, well, that doesn't necessarily factor into this decision. That's really a separate matter. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Right. What about the length of the dock? Where does that start? What sort of elevation does that start on, 'cuz it's unclear as to what's shown on the survey here. I mean, do you have to walk through the marsh to get to the dock? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Walk through the Phragmites... ROB HERMANN: It's notmarsh, no. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: ...which is, which is prob~5Iy 10-12' high there. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Oh, okay. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Then you come up to, to where there is a drain, a road drain, and you know, it's maybe about two feet above sea level there, maybe three feet above low water. So, it's you know, it's a dock. Board of Trustees 14 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay, are there any other comments? Do I have a motion to close the hearing? TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: So moved. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Second. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor? ALL AYES TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Peter, you want to make a motion on this? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Yeah, I make a motion that we, uh, grant a permit for the dock, providing that the, u~h, fixed walkway is reduced to 3' X' 24', and that the hinged ramp is reduced to 3' X 14'o TRUSTEE' KRUPSKI: Do I have a second on that? TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor? ALL AYES 8:07 p.m. - In the matter of Karen Oxholm on behalf of WILLIAM ~ANOS requests a Wetland Permit to construct a two-story dwelling, plans to include to retain as much vegetation as possible and foundation to be constructed on slope of land eliminating full height of basement construction. Located north side of SOundview Ave., 606' west of Horton Lane, Southold. SCTM~ ~54-5-46.1 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Is there anyone here who would like to speak in f~avor of this? F~REN O~OLM: Yes, I would. Karen Oxholm. In regard~to our phone conversation when I was down south, I thought I was coming to the work session to go over that rotation we wanted to discuss. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: That's right, that was a recommendation of numerous board members, and I believe of some CAC members, and we wanted to know if that would be possible to do that, just to eliminate as much impact as the house would have on the marsh. ~RF~ OX~OLM: Well, ~ think why we were discussing doing this at the work session, was that so we could take a tracing and start, uh, I had to better understand what you were talking about. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay. KAREN OX~OLM: So, should I just... TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well come right up, please. Sure. KARENOXHOLM: ...bring this up to you and. TRUSTEE GARRELL: Was this the house with the bog? KARENOXHOLM: This was the house without any property. TRUSTEE KR~JPSKI: N0, this was the house with all the notes going through the woods. KAREN OXHOLM: The ribbons. TRUSTEE GARRELL: Oh, o~kay. KARRN OX~OLM: I'll just use this copy, the black is a little easier. And, because I'm not at the advantage of being able to really design the house yet, because I'm not to sure what we can do. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Oh, I see. Board of Trustees 15 September 29, 1994 ~KAREN OXHOLM: That I don't have approval from the client to really go ahead with some better TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Oh, Okay. KAREN OXHOLM: Better designs, but I think I'm pretty capable of getting a better design. So when you said in the letter 90'. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We meant like thatl Like so. KAREN Ok-HOLM: But that makes it impossible then, well, I. could just reshape the house somewhat so it confoEms more to that. The idea of this wing was, was that wouldn"t even have a foundation, probably underneath it. That was to save the, uh impact somewhat. Because the living space. This is the garage... And then within the setback of Soundview Avenue. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Oh, that's a 50' setback? KAREN OXHOLM: Yeah. So, there's literally, on this piece of p~operty, if you were to go back 100' feet here, and to stay a~ay from the neighboring wells with the septic, there's literally less than 10% TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Building envelope, yeah. It's limited. ~KA~ OXHOLM: It's very limited. And then getting a driveway in makes it even a little more difficult. I would hate to see something where the, uh, garages are right on the Soundview, uh, right on the road. That was one thing that could be done by Changing the shape of the house. But my thought was to have the living room, dining room, and kitchen area over in this area with the Views of, the reason they bought the property was the view of the pond, the view of the sound. T~:USTEE ~UPSKI: Understandable. ~N oXHOLM: But, if necessary, I told them what I probably could do is design something where we'd only put some pilings into the, uh, into the ground there, without really digging a foundation, and then going with this concept, the first concept was with a lower level, but on a slab. So that, in, within the retainment, the contour of the hill, that's where we got the full basement just in this section here for mechanical room and some storage. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay, and there'd be a second story above that? This would only be one story there, equal, level with the basement? K~REN OXHOLM: This, this is a little bit of what~ I just happened to come across this recently. This is what, this is right on the water, of course, we're not talking about that, but this is somewhat the idea. From the front of the house, if Soundview avenue is over here, yoU'd only see the first level on the garage side over here. And you would see maybe a dormer on the top of the roof, but as you went down the hill towards the water side, you would capture more of this kind of look byusing the lower level which is just on the slab, so it wouldn't be a full foundation built therer it would be the full foundation part only enough for maybe one room and a mechanical room would be back into the hill. It makes more sense not to have to excavate. As it is now, we have to excavate to such a degree to get a septic system in there, I don't even know if they're gonna want us to build on this. You know, 'cuz I just got word from Board of Trustees 16 September 29, 1994 the health department that they want to watch the hole qo in. You prObably got your, your notes on that from them. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I don't think we have anything from the health department, yet. KAREN OX~OLM: They want to see, before they give a permit, they want to see, let me show you that, they want to see the hole, '~cuz they think it's gonna be 50-60 feet, I went through that once, and I know, you know. TRUSTEE GARRELL: The constraint on that is what, the neighbor's well or something? KAREN OXHOLM: No, the constraint on that is that itts such a clay and water area, so it would have to be back, uh filled with gravel. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: And that's, the septic system is above the 20' elevation on this? KAREN OXHOLM: Yeah. See, that was my other thought, I was trying to get this so that the, the main waste of the house would come out to this location, for the betterment of the septic system, so we start switching the house around, then we have to go through a garage and everything else to get to the septic system, and it just didn't make sense to me at all. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay, does any other board member have any comment on this, or a problem with the original plan? F~A~EN OX~OLM: This is uh, if you just want to see that um, Bob told me the other day, from the health department. So, you will be getting this, it says a copy is going to you. T~USTEE KRUPSKI: CAC recon~ended disapproval, because it would not be within 75' of the wetlands if the house is relocated on the property, have applicant build a smaller house to fit the Iot size. FJ~REN OXHOLM: Okay, they live down, they've been living down the block on a seasonal basis. I don't know how many years, 20 some odd years. They're at the corner of Kenny and uh, Soundview. They purchased this property 11 years ago, when it was. TRUSTEE GARRELL: This is Judge Manos? ~OXHOLM: Excuse me? TRUSTEE GAR~RAL: This is Judge Manos? DIANE ~ERT: His brother. KARENOXHOLM: This parcel was subdivided by George Penny, it was George Penny's parcel. They weren't interested in tr~ilding at that time, because they were waiting for their retirement. They have a house that's about approximately 2,000, maybe 2200 square feet down the block, it does not handle their children and grandchildren ontheWeekends when they come out and the holidays, sO this house has to be, we worked with that, how many rooms it must be in order to otherwise they won't bother, you know, it's just a waste, up around that 32 to 3600 square feet. So, what we have here is a tiny little speck of this whole property, where the house, if they wanted a 2200 square foot house, they wouldjust stay down on the corner. But they bought this when, when it was permissible. Plus, they didn't understand the clay situation, and the land and the boulders and Board of Trustees 17 September 29, 1994 everything else, so they already, I clued 'em in on that months ago. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Okay, and you realize this, because of the proximity of the wetland which we consider to be valuable for wildlife purposes and what-not, we would want to ii~lpose a 50' buffer here, as far as a vegetative, non-turf buffer down to the wetland, so there could be limited clearing by hand for a view. You know, you could trim the trees through for a view. KAREN OXHOLM: Oh, I told them that, I told them that 6 months ago, not to touch. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: But there wouldn't be any disturbance of the soil, ~eally below the 15' contour' line, really, which would be here, see. Which gives them room, which gives them room for , you know for activity for the septic system, that gives them plenty of lee-way. ~Q%REN OXHOLM: They do want to keep a whole natural look, anluway, and I've been preaching it so much, I think they now, they!'re even looking forward the, because the neighbors didn't, and they can see what the lawn looks like going dow~ to the wetland and it's not that attractive. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No, no. KAREN OXHOLM: It isn't. So, they're in full agreement with that, matter of fact, they're anxious to, to work, I wanted to work like with a little patio that just goes right up into the natural vegetation. I just hope with all this going on that we don't end up having to take too many trees down and everything because of the septic and such, but there was a new bounda~f set up, uh, delineated by the DEC and I think that, that was done, I thi~k, on the 29th of August, you'll probably have information from them. So, there are new ribbons, um ties~ on the trees down at the wetland. 'Cuz I thought, it looked to me like maybe we kad another five or ten feet than we thought, if you remember our discussion, maybe that was Jill and I were talking about that. TRUS~E KRUPSKI: Probably, yeah. KAREN OX~OLM: It looks like we might have more than this shows, however, my poor surveyor just lost his wife and I didn't want to ask him to have a new survey done, so. TRUSTE~' KRUPSKI: Right, um-hmm, that's understandable. KAREN OXHOLM: So, um, what I'm interested in myself right now ~ to see what the real survey says now. We might have more than we think. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Well, at any rate, I think the 15' contour would be a good point of reference there. Um... KAREN OX~OLM: I totally agree. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: The rest of the board want to take a look at that? As far as the non-turf buffer of non-disturbance. Here's a copy to send down to Peter. Send that down to Peter. There's roughly 50' by the house, and then it follows, it allows the applicant room for activity there, of course, you know limit the activity there. KAREN OXHOLM: Definitely, that's why they want it to be like a hide-away and don't even want it. Board of Trustees 18 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE GARRELL: You know, the problem is that you've either got a hide-away which is small or you've got a big house for the kids and grandchildren, I mean, and that's, you can't look both ways. Obviously, they want something big. KAREN OXHOLM: B. ut, no, but that's why I'm trying to use some of that lower space for part of the living space which so many houses would just have as an empty basement. So, I'm trying to take advantage of space that other people wouldn't even be using. And I can shrink and play with this, if they ever give me approval to ever really start designinq it, for all I know, they might have some other, somebody else design it, like Penny Lumber. So, right now, I'm just... TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Any other comments from the audience? Any other co~Eu,ents, Peter? Okay, do I have a motion to close the hearing? TRUSTEE GARRELL: Moved. TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: Second. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in Favor? ALL AYES TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Someone like to make a motion on this application? Alright, I'll make a motion to approve this application, provided that there be a minimum of a 50' buffer between what shows up on the survey, the DEC, uh flagged wetland line, that will show up on the new survey, and no disturbance below the 15' contour line, and that the house should uh have gutters, liters, and drywells. KAREN OXHOLM: Definitely, Okay. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: SO there will be no disturbance, I mean no mechanical disturbance or no turfed areas within the 15' and below the 15' contour line. KAREN OXHOLM: But I_ can have a footing go up to that 50' line if it's not within, before the 15' okay. TRUSTEE K~UPSKI: Well, you've got leeway by the house with the 15' constraint, 50' constraint, right there, see? You've got the 50' buffer there. KAREN OXHOLM: Right. I even think I can even get it back a little further. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright. Thank you. TRUSTEE ALBERTSON: I'll second that. KAREN O~HOLM: I was, the hundred was impossible. Thank you. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: All in favor? ALL AYES 8:20 p.m. In the matter of SCALLOP SEASON board to consider when to open the co~uerciai scallop season. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Uh, before we open the, the hearing to the public, I'd just like to make a couple of comments: One, we realize people are uh, excited about this, and that there's been a lot of things floating around town, regarding the scallop season. Uh, so if everybody, it'd be a lot easier, and a lot shorter night if everybody comes up, if they want to speak, speak your peace, don't get into a argument with anyone else, speak to the board and that's it, we'll make a decision. The Board of Trustees 19 September 29, 1994 second thing is, we're not required to have a public hearing on setting the scallop season, we're doing this, because we're looking for more information, so that we can make a better decision, that affects the resource of the scallops, because obviously this decision isn't only going to affect this year's opening, it might have uh, long range affects on the scallop resource, which we donWt want to have any adverse affects on that. And before we start the hearing, um, a board member asked Mr. Chris Smith from CorneI1 Cooperative Extension Seagrant to make a Hresentation on different scallop limitsanddifferent scallop seasons in New England towns. Mr. ~mith, could you give us a brief r~n-down? Excuse me, do we all have copies of this before we start? TRUSTEE GARRELL: No, I don't. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Did we-, did we make 5 copies? Alright, and these are, these are limits in different areas. Give that one to Marty. Does Peter want one? And I don't have one for the East Hampton. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I think the one thin~ that we want to well, the one thin~ that's really most important, in this presentation is when the commercial seasons elsewhere start. Uh, the, the town code has been changed recently to allow the Trustees to set the scallop season on a yearly basis, based on economic and environmental factors. Um, I think we all have to recognize that economics is a ve~t important part of this, and you know this is a, an importar~t fishery for an awful lot of people in this town, and in order to ub, to set the season at the right time, we have to consider how we can put our scallops into this market in the northeast. CHRIS SMITH: We were able to survey many of the towns in Massachusetts, um, for their scallop regulations, as well as the uh, neighboring towns here on Long Island. And I'll just run down each town, and give you some of the features about their, ub, harvest Units, as well as, uh, when they open their seasons, as well as, um, when those seasons are set, and who sets those, uh, how flexible they are from year to year. Um, the Barnstable township, um, the recreational limit is, uh, one bushel per week, and they h~ve something called a family limit, the family limit there means that you have one person with a permit, and they can grandfather in anybody else that's on the boat, like if you have friends or relatives that want to help scallop, but you can not exceed one bushel for all those people, and anyone eighteen years or older can get their own permit, but if you're less than eighteen years, you have to work on somebody else's, what's called a family permit. And we asked them three or four times, is that one b~shei per day, or per week, and they said one bushel per week. Um, for the commercial, they set the uh, the limits form year to year, depending on the availability of scallops, which, um actually their bay constables determine, um, how many scallops are around that year, by doing some limited surveying and dredging in their waters. Um, when we took this survey, the limits had not yet been set, but in '93,.the limits were five level fish totes per day. Um, in years ago, the opening was October 1st, however, now they've um, delayed it, Board of Trustees 20 September 29, 1994 and most often, in the past few years, it's opened up the last week in October, or beginning of November for family permit holders, and the commercial permit holders are a week later. In Nantucket, the uh, recreational season is opening October 1st, and runs to March 31st, and it's one bushel per week per permit. They made no mention of a family permit, I think each person is welcome to their bushel. Uh, the commercial season is opening November 1st in Nantucket, and it will be five, uh level fish totes per license, or ten totes per boat, per day, if you have two license holders on each boat. Um, and just as a, an aside, Nantucket is responsible for over 50% of Massachusetts landings, and have some extensive stocks there, and then Massachusetts is responsible for a large majority of the landings on the east coast, here, at least from New York, north where scallops occur. So, when Nantucket opens, it has major impact on the price and availability of scallops, regionally. Um, in Edgartown, which is on Martha's Vineyard~ the recreational um, ,opening, is October 1st and r,~ns to March 30th, it's one bushel per permit, per week. Commercial h~rvest is goingilto open up November 1st in Edgartown, and they hadn't determined, as of about a week and a half ago, what the limit was go,ha be commercially, but it's gonna be between uh, three a~d sixb~shels per day. Um, in yarmouth, the recreational limit is one bushel per week, per family, in the case of Yarmouth, it's age 16 as opposed to Barnstable, previously mentioned, was 18. Um, the co~,.ercial is usually four or five bushel~ per day, depending on the availability of stock, again, there's another township that changes the quantity, uh, reflecting the availability of scallops. L~n, the dates are usually, the beginning of November, um, and they allow the recreational permit holders to begin about a wcck earlier. This year, the dates haven't been set for Yarmouth yet. Um, East Hamdenf um, the recreational will open up October 1st, and their limit is one bushel per week. The commercial harvest is um, Octobsr 1st also, um, and it's ten fish totes per day, again, a maximum of two permit holders per boat. Um, in Nausett Bay, the seasonbegins the third Sunday, or the first Monday after the third Sunday in October. The recreational limit again, is one bushel per week. Commercial is five fish totes per day. Uh, limit again of two permits per boat. Um, in Rhode Island, uh, they do not require a recreational permit, uh, recreational harvesters are allowed one bushel per day, their season, um, October 1st. The commercial, you need permits in Rhode Island for commercial harvest, and it's five bushels per day, and their season, so far, slated to be October 1st, but I think what they actually meant October 3rd, which is the first Monday. For our surrounding townships, uh, East Hampton, recreational opening will be October 17th, and the quantity in East Hampton town waters for recreational harvest is one bushel per person, per day. Uh, the commercial opening for East Hampton will be October 17th, the quantity restriction will be five bushels, um, with ten bushels per boat if you have two permit holders on a single boat, In Southampton, the recreational opening will be October 24th, with one bushel per Board of Trustees 21 September 29, 1994 person, per day. The col~,,~ercial~pening will also be October 24th, same day, 10 bushels per ~.~-~son, or 20 per boat if you have two permit holders. On She~ter Island, the recreational opening will be October 17th, with uh, a half of bushel per person, per day. Commercial openlng will also be October i7th, and it's five bushels per person, per day. That was the results of the survey that we took. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: .Thank you. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I just have a question, from your understanding of what's around, uh, Massachusetts, and on the island, who do you expect to be the major producers to be? cHRIS SMITH: Urn, Nantucket, without a doubt. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Nantucket, without a do~ht? CHRIS SMITH: Yeah. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: What ABout Southampton? CHRIS SMITH: I think Southampton has um, a lot more this year, than they had last year, but mainly from, uh, stocks in Southampton, I mean Shinnecock Bay. Not really affected by quantities on the Peconic side~ .~ TRUSTEE W~NCZRT,: But Shinnecock Bay is town waters, right? C~S SMITH: I'm sorry? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Shinnecock Bay is town waters, right? CHRIS SMITH: Yes, it is. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: I have a question in the back, and I'll open the public hearing. UNIDENTIFI~ PERSON: Level fi~.h tote, Chris, how much, uh, are we talking bushel quantity, t~ically? CHRIS SMITH: I don't know, I':~ge never actually measured it. TRUSTEE WENczEL: ~bout a bushel and a half, yeah, almost a bushel and a half, I think. T~at sound right? Almost two? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright, anyiOne else have any questions for uh, Mr. Smith? TRUSTEE SARRELL: I. do. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes? TRUSTEE .GARRELL: Chris, I'm a tayperson when it comes to scallops, but the question I have, is why the disparity between, I mean the gaps between the commercial and recreational seasons? Uh, I noticed that some of the towns, the Long Island towns always pick the same day, the, uh, commercial and recreational. Massachusetts, Some of them the Same day, some of them are months apart? Are there that many recreational users, or is there a, what's the difference? CHRIS SMITH: What is the difference... TRUSTEE ~ARRELL: What's the rationale? CHRIS SMITH: Well, I think the rationale, is to allow, um recreational harvesters to go into some areas, and get uh, enough scallops to personally consume, you know, for your family. That's the intent, I think of the recreational opening. Um, and, then the commercial harvesters can come in and more efficiently harvest the resource, prior to it"s dying during the winter. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Any other questions for Mr. Smith? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: No further questions, I have a couple of comments before we open it up to the public. Board of Trustees 22 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: TRUSTEE WENCZEL: been attempting to set this season for a better p four months now. For a variety of reasons, we'~e uh to consider it once again. Uh, some of it bjad fact that the town code had never been changed, needed to go to the Town Board to have that cha~ was some controversy about my voting on the iss~ Sure. Well, I want to point out that this board has Lrt of three or here tonight, to do with the ad, uh, we ~d. Um, there ~in the past, but, the baymen's association, back in June, diS~assed the matter, and wrote the board a letter, recommending that the uh, the season be opened October 17th. ~T~STEE KRUPSKI: The commercial season. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: The commercial season. At that time, the shellfish advisory committee which the Trusteesi have formed, r~iewed that proposal, and agreed that that WaM a.good time to OPen the season. Um, we had another shellfiSh~.kdvisory C0~,,ittee meeting the other night, at which timi we discussed this in great detail, and once again, their re m~mendation was forwarded to the board. It is my opinion, and ~ condition, in fact, that October 17th is the right date for ~is season to open on a commercial basis. There are a signi ~icant quantity of scallops in Hallock's Bay, and in order for u~ ~o get a good price, for them to be marketed, to get the m~imt~n, for the resources there, October 17th is the right d~e. Um, the other point that I guess I have to make, recognizes that in the past, the from two and a half to three weeks. And, I' c~nsider the fact that we may be reducing have to think about the fact that we're not since that time, the OPening in the state changed from the third Monday in in October, pushing the whote season back, the harvest time for everybody, into a Um, I think it's important to note that done, was because we recognized, that one,~ yield of scallops increases by giving them the extra two to three harvest them, we did ourselves a favor, a favor. Um, the other part of that the state level was that there was a it's, I car~'t say proven hard and fast, good evidence that the scallops do spawn and that we have a late set. Um, you kn good spawning time, and that is the other ~eason the decision was pushed back. So, you know, I think that we have to look at this whole thing from a fresh perspective?, and realize that we're in 1994, a year after the brown-ti~e, tP~t we're on the verge of uh, that possibly this resource=~tecovering significantly, although probably not thi~?year, but we're in kind of a new management mode at this po~ht, and once again, I think October 17th is the right date. TRUSTEE GARRELL: For the commercial season. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: For the commercial season. Uh, we welcome any comments from the public. the Board season varied we two weeks, we in 1985. Uh, had been ~he first Monday fact, Compressing period of time. was and the of year and to grow before they the resource was made on that there's some pretty times mn September, can be a Board of Trustees 23 September 29, 1994 UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: What about the public season? Is this October 1st too? TRUSTEE ~CZEL: That would be October 3rd. ~IDENTI~iED PERSON: October 3rd? Is that, another thing I can't ~nderstand.,. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Could you come to the mic., and uh, identify Yourself for the public record please? DAN C~S: I~m Dan Charnews and uh, there's several things I an't ~erstand. A lot of the creeks are closed for clamming, oes t~' mean that you can't go scalloping in those same creeks? USTEE ~WENCZEL: That ' s correct. DAN C~S: That's all I wanted to know, because some people go crabbing, and I consider that a shellfish, and I was wondering why they went into these creeks. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Right, the uh, those creeks are closed because of E.Col~ contamination, and that applies only to shellfish, to filter-feeders, oysters, clams, mussels, scallops. DAN C~EWS: I thought maybe because the scallops were on the top, thDy weren'.t in the ground... TR~STEE!iWENCZEL: No, no, no. What they do, is, the shellfish filter out and concentrate those bacteria there is in the water DAN CHARNEWS: Thank you for clarifying me on that. And, uh, ~ulSO, the Uh, season, just for yourself is the first? STEE KRUPSKI: Third. DAN CH ~ARNEWS: Third. Excuse me. TRU~TEE~iWENCZEL: The same season opener as uh... DAN: CHIS: The same as uh... TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: State. DAN C~Ews: Stats, right. TRUSTEEi!~NCZEL: The recreational opens in town waters on October 3rd. DAN CHARNEWS: Okay, thank you. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Thank you. Alright, we'll take each side of the room in sections, we'll take the left side here. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: I have a question. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Please approach the, uh, thank you. Your name, sir? BRUCE LOUCKA: Bruce Loucka. Last month didn't you vote on the same thing? ~ TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We only received authority to set... BRUCE LOUCKA: No, last month, I got a question, last month, didn't you vote on this? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We only received authority to set the 'scallop date by resolution of the board on September 6th, so any, any previous, discussion we had before September 6th, we dido'not have authority to do. BRUCE LOUCKA: But you did it? TRUSTEE F~RUPSKI: We had a lot of discussions. BRUCE LOUCKA: And you had a vote on it? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: We had all kinds of different discussions. BRUCE LOUCKA: You had a vote on it? As I understand it... UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: Did you have a vote on it? Yes or no? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Yes, we did. Board of Trustees 24 September 29, 1994 TRUSTEE WENCZEL: We had a vote, as I understand the resolution... BRUCE LOUCKA: It may have been illegal, but the board had a Vote, and voted what? TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: What was the vote? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: As I understood the resolution, it was, in anticipation of receiving the authority to set the season, we voted to open the recreational season on October 3rd, then the commercial season on October 17th. ~Due to technical difficulties, some of the discussion of this matter was not recorded, and therefore, this is an incomplete record of this matter.) CRRIS SMIT~: ...and right after the ice went out, we had made. some survey dives there that showed extensive areas of dead crabs and conk and other bottom-dwelling organisms. But even up there, there was evidence of a very few scallops that had made it through the winter, so I think they can survive in areas Where there's sufficient flushing. There may be some creeks with very small openings, that don't have much fresh water in-flow, like at Narrow River or something. And, they may suffer oxygen depletion, but it didn't happen in Hallock's Bay. JAY MC KASTY: That's interesting. TRUSTEE GARRELL: Historically, could somebody tell me, through the last 10 years or so, when Southold town has opened the scallop season comercially? Third week or second week in OCtober, or has it varied back and forth? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: It has varied. It's varied from November Ist to um, I guess it was October 10th, uh, as far back as maybe four years ago, maybe five years ago, I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. Um, the last couple of years, it's only been the last three years or so, that there's been anything in there at all really to harvest at all, you know since the brown tide. TRUSTEE GARRELL: Since the brown tide, yeah. And the seasons in the East End towns are set the same way, on a year to year b~sis? TRUSTEE WENCZEL: I think that most of these seasons, I don't know, to tell you the truth. Chris, do you? CKRIS SMIT~: Well, when there were a lot of scallops, everybody just opened up at the same time. But now, since the brown tide, each town is adjusting accordingly. Mainly toward the idea of alloWing fall spawning. TRUSTEEGARRELL: Um-hmm, yeah. And I notice that, from what you've got here, that um, Southampton town is a week later than Shelter Island or East Hampton. CFfRIS SMITE: That's right. TRUSTEE KRUPSKI: Alright, would someone like to make a motion, since the discussion seems to be played out. TRUSTEE WENCZEL: Uh, I make a motion that we close the hearing. TRUSTEE Ar,~ERTSON: Second.
