Southold Town Planning Board
17 October 21, 1996

regarding the Local Law in Relation to New Residential Uses, which is ~n
support of the law as written.
Mr. Cremers: So moved.

Mr. Ward: Moved and seconded. All in favor?
Ayes: Mr. Latham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Cremers, Mr. Ward.
Mr. Ward: Opposed? Motion carried.
Mr. Ward: Would anyone like to address the Board in the public session? We
will immediately be going into a work session which you are welcome to stay
for,
Richard Burden: I live at 2800 Old Jule Lane in Mattituck. came to address
the situation because in going through some papers, I didn't realize where
Strongs Marina plans had gone to I was the lead person here the night that
we filled this room up and had the Town Board vote on whether or not to
make the residential lot into a MI zoning. Contrary to popular belief, we did
have a lot of people here that night that supported our position and those
people had definite, definite positions as to why they didn't want this
situation to exist.
Unfortunately, it became the Jeff Strong love fest because everybody said
Jeff was a wonderful guy,'but that really had no value on whether or not the
proposition passed. The point I have to make tonight is that there was
supposed to be a 50 foot embankment running alongside the creek over
there. I look at a persons actions and what a person does as opposed to
maybe a little above the law. And what I mean by that is that the night we
came here, Mr. Strong presented the position that the reason he needed
those docks, those high and dry docks was because he needed them for
winter storage, like when a storm just passed.
But at the same time he's saying that to the Town Board, if anybody had
gone in their car and driven down there they would have seen 8 sign.., and
he is advertising on the radio that he has high and dry available to anybody,
Southold Town Planning Board
'18 October 2'1, '1996
to just drive down and (inaudible) your boat. That was number one.
Number two, asphalt appeared down there when they were paving Aldrich
Lane. I went out and saw the guy and now al of a sudden it's a pre-existing
situation I drove my bicycle down there, there was no asphalt down now,
and now all of a sudden (inaudible) places have asphalt on them
Number three, the fifty foot right of way, when people say fifty feet to me, I
believe it's fifty feet. And I believe it's fifty foot for the whole length of
where they tell you it's going to be. Well, it's not a fifty foot embankment,
and if you really look at the map, it starts out at fifty feet of one corner and
it slowly, slowly edges down to where it's no feet. And at that meeting he
specifically said, I have no intentions of developing that side of the, what you
call the north ~asin or that creek on that side. I have no intentions
whatsoever.
Yet, as soon as Ne gets approval for MI he comes down and applies to put
six finger docks down there. So what happens ~s, I sat home and said Iet a
dead situation lie. The Town gave the man what he needed and that was it.
And I figured it was over But it's not over because what's happening now is
Mr. Wickham stood there and said, have a lawyer draw up the papers and
we'll agree. Now, there are people on this Town Board and in this Town right
now who believe that it's fifty feet running the full length of that property.
But it's not. And I want to insist - and I'll get a letter to you people at some
point in time - but I would like to insist that that fifty feet, number one, that
there be no development in the north basin. The Town Trustees have
already said that there's not supposed to be anything in that little basin right
there, yet for the last nine years there's been docks stored in there.
So, what we have ~s a person who comes down here to the Town and pleads
that he wants to do one thing, yet when he leaves the door he goes and
does another thing and I just want to make it Known to the Board that I
would like you people to take the position that that fifty foot that's
supposed to be on that side of the lot on the part that was just zoned MI,
be a true fifty feet, and run fifty feet off the edge of that water all the way
across. If it has to run 45 feet at one point, I'm not sticking to my guns, but
at the very end it's not a buffer. It's withing the distance of the creek to the
people's houses across the street and I would just like to see that truly
addressed and that that north basin...the docks are sti there I believe And
they're not supposed to be there.
So you're looking at a man who Nas turned his nose to the Trustees for the
last ten years when he's not supposed to have stuff there and just went and
Southold Town Planning Board
October 2d, 1996
did what he had to do. And I don't think it's myjob to come down here and
report everybody, but I'd like to see that fifty foot held to. The Town Board
voted about that fifty feet, I'll say it again, and they believe it's fifty feet.
When they presented the map to show that it wasn't a true fifty feet they
were a little taken back by the vote And now I believe that you people have
the position to Step in and reiterate that true fifty feet.
