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
This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as
provided by law.
So that is the only real part of legislation that is out for public hearing this afiemoon, is to
clarify the meaning of municipally owned land to mean town owned land and to not bring
under the net those lands held by other municipalities. As lands on which people wishing
to host special events would need to have a permit.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: The way the legislation was originally written it included
inadvertently park districts and firehouses, things like that. That was not the Board's
intention, so this is correction to the original legislation.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: In the file I have a notice that it has appeared on the
Special Events Amendment Public Heating
August 25, 2009
Town Clerk's bulletin board out there, the legal notice in the newspaper included it and I
guess that is really all I have in the file.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this
particular public hearing? Mr. Wills?
FRANK WILLS: Good evening. Frank Wills, Mattituck. I have a question. In the
definition it says all controlled by. What does that mean?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I presume a lease hold interest. We control lands based on
lease such as a substantial sized parking lot in Cutchogue, I would suspect that that was
what the reference is, if we are controlling it through, as a lessee or if we have a
management agreement, contract.
MR. WILLS: So it does not cover places that are described by zoning regulations?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, it, no it, actually this is an issue of ownership and
control of the Town's ownership extends into all sorts of different zoning categories. The
idea is what is a public space versus a not so public space. We are erroneously included
governmental entities such as park districts, which really aren't public spaces in the
context of everything the town governs. They are smaller.
MR. WILLS: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Would anybody else like to address the Town Board
on this public heating? Chris?
CHRIS BAIZ: Good afternoon, Chris Baiz, Southold. Under the purpose, I would just
like some clarification for the community at large when you included in this, I guess in a
previous legislation that has been on the books since, over to you guys, what was the
original?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: 1994.
MR. BAIZ: 1994. That is what I thought. Okay, fine. And I am not quite sure under the
purpose heading where you say and to expand the jurisdiction of the ZBA to include
special events held on land used agriculturally.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just address that. What we would like to do is since
special events are permitted on wineries, if there are other agricultural operations, we
would like to include them in being able to have special events. We don't want to create
a law that only allows it on one type of agriculture. Other types should be able to avail
themselves of that as well. We have had some difficulty in applying that to this code
because wineries have all gone through a review process that accounts for parking and all
of those things that we need to do as a town to make sure that they are situated, these
special events, in the right location. We are trying to get there where we can include
Special Events Amendment Public Heating
August 25, 2009
other agricultural operations, we just want some sort of type of informal review process
so that we know that the places that are going to host special events can accommodate
them.
MR. BAIZ: Is all of this, both the original law and the amendment here presented meant
to go through the ZBA for the process, is that the idea? Is that where you apply ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It has always been the case since the law was passed in 1994.
The ZBA doesn't actually go through a hearing, they do an administrative review, so you
apply to the ZBA and there is no vote, the ZBA reviews the application in house and
issues the approval.
MR. BAIZ: Right. Okay. And then in 205-1B4, not withstanding the foregoing, the
Town Board shall have the discretion to waive any application requirements of the above
three in B1, 2 or 3 or all. Again, I am presuming this applies only to the town owned,
town leased or town controlled lands?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. Special events that are applied for to be held on town
property.
MR. BAIZ: Okay. And again, I guess my only concern in 4 is that I mean, is the issue of
transparency. And you know, suddenly somebody has got a permit because the Town
Board waived but somebody else doesn't get a permit because 1, 2 or 3 or all of the 3
have not been waived. I mean, what is the thinking process that we are going to use here
that one permit applicant has to go through 1, 2 or 3 and another just gets to 4 as a free
ride. You know, I just ....
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Sure.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I would like to address some of this.
MR. BAIZ: Sure
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: There are some real questions along the lines that you are
asking. But the legislation in front of us this afternoon does only one simple thing. All it
does is clarify, when we formally said municipally owned land it refers only to town
owned land and that is the only thing that is out here today.
MR. BAIZ: I understand.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: The questions that you are addressing referred to the
earlier legislation that we put in place and which some of it is referred to but we are not
acting on that tonight.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Chris, it is a fair point.
Special Events Amendment Public Hearing
August 25, 2009
MR. BAIZ: Even in the context of what we have on the table today.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It is a fair question to be raised. It was addressed for the
public heating when we originally passed this legislation. I think the goal was that we
have a lot of requests for use of town lands. Some that comes at a substantial cost to the
town, leasing etc. The idea was to separate those public benefit events from proprietary
events. We have an event each year, this all, you might remember the discussion over the
triathalon, which is a private venue done by a private company but utilizes a lot of police
presence because of the closing of roads. The idea was to tell the applicants, you know,
we ought to be able to reimburse the taxpayers for participating in your money making
venture. At the same time, we have private, not for profit's pursuing charitable works for
the community. It was to bring some distinction to that, they are not the same.
MR. BAIZ: I appreciate that and that is sort of why I bring it up and is there not a way to
include in this, as much as you have just stated, whether it is for a private eleemosynary
event or a community eleemosynary event.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think we did that for the original, I will cull that out for
you, but the original public hearing was for the law itself, not for this small change. And
I think we included all of that in the criteria that the attorneys outlined for us.
MR. BAIZ: Just so that the applicant, when an applicant applies, understands that some
guy or some permit that is on to be done on a town piece of property, controlled, owned
or leased, that because it is a community thing and I don't know whether something like
Eastern Long Island hospital fits that criteria and therefore goes straight to paragraph 4
but you know, somebody running a little sports event for some other private reason or
whatever has to stop at 1, 2 or 3, I mean, I think it would be more transparent to the
commtmity if that is so stated in the requirements for the permit.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yeah, I think we did that but I will double check and if not,
we will make sure, that is a fair point. A very fair point.
MR. BAIZ: Okay. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board?
DR. DAN DAMIANOS: Just two simple questions, number one, some clarification I
should say. all food must be catered and prepared off site. Does that mean that if a
caterer comes in with a large bus etc. that is approved by the Department of Health and is
doing something, cooking on site, does it mean that you have to be off site completely to
have that?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I don't know what the original intent was.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: That is only for events at a winery because wineries
don't generally have cooking facilities on site. I think ....
Special Events Amendment Public Heating
August 25, 2009
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I think that is what the doctor is asking. As a practical
reality it isn't the case, so I don't imagine, again, we are not passing this new law, this
has been around for a long, long time.
DR. DAMIANOS: It is just, it is not in my place, but there are some that will bring in a
caterer for instance and they will bring ....
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: A barbeque.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They can generally cook on site ....
DR. DAMIANOS: This tells you it is off site.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can't speak to the intent of the original legislation that was
passed but the presumption needs to be, I think, that it was intended so that the cooking
was taking place not within the winery building but at a separate, in other words, we
weren't issuing permits to allow for kitchens.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: The original intent was not to have full restaurants as part
of the wineries. Yes, this language I think is faithful to that.
DR. DAMIANOS: Generally when most people have these events, they will have a
caterer who will have obtained a Department of Health permit.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That is right.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: But that all is not really the subject of tonights ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, but it raises a good point with the ambiguity. The
ambiguous language is a good point, maybe we need to correct that when we set about
including more agricultural properties.
DR. DAMIANOS: Okay.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: And that is also, I think if you read all of the E, it says that
if a winery holds an event with the expected attendance exceeds a maximum occupancy
of a public building, then all of that language kicks in. That is the way I read it, anyway.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But we will get some clarification, this is a work in progress
now. Like I said, we are going to address it to expand the opportunities to other ag
operations and we will take the ambiguity of that language up and try to be more
consistent with what the reality is out there.
DR. DAMIANOS: The other question I had, perhaps is very naive of me to ask but when
we talk about the town owning or having a parcel of land that they control, does that
Special Events Amendment Public Hearing
August 25, 2009
include agricultural land that has had their development fights sold to the town?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: That is a good question but I don't think the Town Board
intends it that way.
DR. DAMIANOS: Okay.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Although technically you have a point, if the town has
acquired the development rights, the town owns a certain rights to those properties but I
don't think we have taken that interpretation.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. That actually never even came up in our discussion, it is
a fair point.
DR. DAMIANOS: Okay. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
particular legislation? (No response)
