NOV 2 8 2007 7200 Depot Lane P.O. Box 490 Cutchogue, NY 11935 November 28, 2007 Southolrl Town Clert! Supervisor Scott Russell and The Southold Town Board 53095 Main Road SouthoId, NY 11971 Re: Public Hearing-Application for Peconic Recycling and Transfer for an operation of a Transfer Station to be heard on December 4,2007. We are the adjoining home and property owners of the applicants property for the proposed Transfer Station. Unfortunately, we are unable to attend the hearing this evening and would like this letter read during the public hearing and have it put on the record. Our home is a multi-generation residence that was built even before there was an official town landfill. The 8 Y. acres next to our home has also been in the family for many years. When I took residence of the family homestead, which is where I grew up, we were surrounded by open space and active farming. The zoning was changed after I had moved back into the home without our knowledge. We have a number of concerns as do the property owners in the surrounding area that would be affected. We have attached a copy of the petition that had previously been submitted in September 2006. The majority of the signatures are residents of the area that are either life long or long term residents. They are serious and valid concerns that would no doubt have a negative impact on the area. Our concerns are as follows; hours and days of operation. Presently, we are awaken at 6a.m., sometimes earlier, by a loud bang and the entire house shakes as a container is being dropped onto the ground on the property directly behind our house. The undisputable significant increase of truck traffic that would occur, odor that would be released from garbage in the trucks/ building, noise, loose debris, groundwater contamination, rodent control and our declining property values. Other questions that need to be addressed as well are; who would oversee and enforce the facility, would the garbage come exclusively from the Town of SouthoId or also be coming in from other surrounding towns, how will it impact or potentially impact the revenues of our already existing Transfer Station being operated by the town and being paid for by the towns taxpayers. Is this permit transferable should the present applicants want to sell their business. During our numerous discussions with various town departments, it was brought to our attention that this is not an allowed use anywhere in the Town of Southald without a special permit from the Town Board. The permits that have been issued do not handle the sorting and transferring of "raw garbage". .. In conclusion, please take the time now to step back to investigate, research, diseuss, and address the concerns and questions. For every person responsible in making this decision, think of this as your home and property. A home that existed long before any rezoning and development. With this thought in mind, what do you think the right decision should be. To look at everything for not only the here and now but what affect this could have on the town as a whole. If this permit were to be issued, it would have a permanent negative impact daily on not only our quality oflife and health, but on the whole surrounding residential area as well. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, , ~ ~.. ilia,. fL , .... ~-r-, (j "'V/,Y--: ;;, James and Marilyn Good c..

They will be submitting revised numbers as follows: MSW- 300 tons per day. This breaks down to 72 truck trips per day (in and out). C & D- 400 tons per day. This breaks down to 68 truck trips per day (in and out). They believe these numbers are realistic and will allow for reasonable expansion of their operation. I asked that they ciarify the expected hours of operation in their written submission. They indicate the above translates to one truck every 41/2 minutes, based on a 12 hour day. The hours of operation are part of the Town Board permit. Gail indicated that they will be closing the facility in Mattituck, and may use it as offices and/or storage area for 1 or 2 trucks. They currently have trucks on the road to accomodate the present operation, and these will be accounted for in the analysis. Chic and I agreed that when the written submission is received, we will schedule another in-house meeting (presumably next week) to review the numbers. Pat Patricia A.
