Trustee Smith read the application of Gustave J. Wade, in
which he is requesting an easement at the end of East Road,
Cutchogue, New York.
President Sto~tenburgh took the liberty of giving a brief
history of the area, seeing that he has lived there mos~ of his
younger years and is very familiar with the location. He explained
that the area was a marsh. It was filled and in doing so, trustee
land was filled in. Since then there has been much litigi_t.ion.
The Trustees and Mr. Glover went to court. Mr. Glover was awarded
an island. A boundary line was established, Mr. Glover, Fleets
Neck Property Owners Associations amd the Trustees agreed to the
boundaries that were drawn up in the agreement.
Secretarys Ilene Pfifferling read a letter from Mr. Raymond
C. Dean, Superintendent of Highways in which it was stated ~hat~
"The Town. Highway known as East Road, from the guardrail easterly
from the high-water mark into former Eugene's Creek, is deemed
to be a public highway and upon examination of all the facts it
has been determined no~ to have been abandoned."
President Stoutenburgh asked if there were any comments from
the Board at this time. There were no comments.
Richard J. Kron addressed the board, on behalf of Mr. Wade.
He spoke about the parcel between the "Island" and the end of
East Road. He added that there is some question as to whether
the trustees do, in £act, still have jurisdiction over the strip
that was filled.
President Stoutenburgh clarified the matter, with reassuring
Mr. Kron, that the Trustees met with Attorney Robert Tasker,
in regard to this matter and the Trustees were advised that
this parcel is, in fact, Trustee property.
Dr. Wi.lliam Hennigan~ President of the Fleet's Neck Property
Owners Association addressed the Board. He is opposed to a change.
He has enjoyed many years o£ using this strip of land to get to
the beach. He has enjoyed the turnover of peopled coming and
going. He wants this area to be kept a beach area.
Mr. Nowacheck added that this strip has been used by the - -
Fleet's-Neck Property Owners Association for over 15 years
as access to the beach. He added that when the boundary lines
were drawn up, neither parties were to breach this agreement.
He added that this land belongs to the public, and requested
that this agreement be respected.
President Stoutenburgh added that all have the right to
walk across Trustee property, because it belongs to all of
the people of the Town, no one is denying anyone the right
walk across that property.
Mr~ Roy Haje spoke on behalf of Mr. Wade. He stated that
Mr. Wade followed every procedure which was mandated by the
D.E.C. with respect to the application.
Ruth Oliva - N.F.E.C. added that any pollution from the
cesspool would be very harmful to Eugene's Creek, and therefore,
would recommend to deny the application.

most difficult decisions that has come before the Board.
After hearing both sides, the Board has come to a decision.
