Before we get to the business of the agenda, I just want to acknowledge, first and February 2, 2010 Page 4 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes foremost Charlie Zaloom of Mattituck, he is a member of the Mattituck stakeholders. Charlie is actually volunteering, he is a pilot by license, he has been volunteering in Haiti flying baby formula and necessary supplies to remote areas. I just want to wish him well on behalf of everybody in the community. Another thing that I want to mention is that as we all know, our comprehensive plan has been initiated by this Town Board. We have a public hearing, sony, public input meetings, informal public input meetings. We have one scheduled for Thursday February 4th, 11:30 am at the Peconic Landing and Saturday February 6th, 10:30am at the Human Resources Center in Mattituck.

Comments regarding resolution # 161 COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Because we are partnering with Suffolk County on this to help the cost, aye. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I would like to really thank Melissa for her efforts and Randy from the Nature Conservancy for his efforts. This is part of an assemblage of the Pipes Cove area, it was the focus made probably 10 or 15 years ago to try to preserve a lot of this watershed that drains into Pipes Cove and into Peconic Bay and they have done a great job on focusing on this and future generations will really marvel at the effort that was made there, as they walk through there. And I vote aye. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. I will echo what Vinnie and what Albert said. It wasn't the most compelling purchase we have made since I have been Supervisor but if you look at the larger issues, number one the public access issues, the assemblage of parcels that are already there and the partnership with Suffolk County, those three things make it a very compelling purchase at this point. I vote yes. VI.

FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned February 2, 2010 Page 38 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes parcels of land is on file in Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375 Route 25, Southold, New York, and may be examined by any interested person during business hours. We have the notification by the Town Clerk's office on the bulletin board, it has been noticed in the legal section of the local newspaper. There is memorandum note from the LWRP coordinator, another one from the Town Board of the Town of Southold regarding the principal planner, LWRP coordinator, just information from the Town Board. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: At this time I would invite anybody to come up and address the Town Board on the issue of this particular acquisition. I see Randy here, Melissa. Melissa first. MELISSA SPIRO, LAND PRESERVATION COORDINATOR: Melissa Spiro, Land Preservation Coordinator. Not to repeat everything but I would just like to point a couple of things out. Both the Town and the County have been working for years towards the purchase of these properties and others within the Pipes Cove area. The Manor Grove property is adjacent to and in the vicinity of other preserved lands but we just show the Pipes Cove area and the Pipes Cove greater area. We show that on this map or these maps up here. Purchase of the property will further the preservation efforts we have been doing in this area, in addition to allowing for the expansion of existing nature trails that we have in the area. The Nature Conservancy has been facilitating this project under a contract the town has with them as they have been doing the same for most of the properties in the Pipes Cove area. The property includes a residential dwelling, it is not part of the purchase. The Nature Conservancy is already in contract to purchase the entire property from Manor Grove corporation with the intent to sell the property back to the Town and the County for open space purposes after subdividing the existing dwelling out. The purchase will be shared equally by the Town and the County and the Town is funding it or will be funding it through the Community Preservation Funds. The Land Preservation Committee is in favor of continuing the efforts we have had in the Pipes Cove are and they recommend that the Town Board proceed with this purchase. Randy Parsons from the Nature Conservancy is here, he has put a lot of effort into this and he is here to address any questions or concerns the Town Board or the public has in regard to this project. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anyone else like to come up and address the Town Board on the issue of acquisition of this parcel? BENJA SCHWARTZ: If nobody else is interested? I am Benja Schwartz from Cutchogue and the Pipes Cove area, I have spent some time sailing by there and the Greenport harbor and I am in favor of any natural preservation, preservation of property on the north fork. I don't really have anything particular specifically to say about this property except it is part of our region which is, you know, includes marshes and wetlands which are second only to rain forests in their biological productivity and I was at the meeting on the new comprehensive plan for Southold Town last night and I happened to talk with a real estate agent there. When I proposed that we should perhaps try to encourage eco-tourism, she responded what are we going to give them, tours of the dump? Well, you know, we have got a lot more important environments here, although the area at the landfill is part of our natural or environmental although it has been February 2, 2010 Page 39 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes corrupted by a lot of waste there, I think that in the past we had an idea that we could just keep dumping our waste, dumping our waste. Well, thank god we have moved past that idea. The dump filled up and New York State put an end to our dumping, so now we have a transfer station. Unfortunately in town we still have a long way to go and we will be talking later about the comprehensive plan but this is an important part of the programs which may lead to a sustainable environment and economy here in Southold Town. I am in support of this. Thank yOU. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Mr. Copeaino? Inaudible comments from audience. MS. SPIRO: Well, this whole area is all Pipes Cove here. Here is Pipes Neck Road (inaudible) and all these properties (inaudible) MR. COPERTINO: Is that preserved now? The property just noah of Pipes Cove? MS. SPIRO: These properties in green are all preserved properties. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on the issue of this acquisition? JIM DUGGAN: Jim Duggan, East Marion. Have you noticed the tree pruning services coming from Orient to Southold? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The what services? MR. DUGGAN: The tree pruning services that is going on. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The state? Because the town is out pruning now. MR. DUGGAN: Well, whoever is doing it. Do we have any input at all? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We tried to. We actually have a gentleman who works in the highway department that has been very active in trying to get the state and in some cases, subcontractors, to do the fight thing. Unfortunately it is their right of way. And they maintain stewardship of their fight of way. But we certainly try to have as much input as we can. We have a very active tree committee that tries to also guide them in the right direction but make no mistake, they are not artists when they are out trimming trees, we know that. MR. DUGGAN: I know nothing about horticulture or anything like that but it really, really looks like they are decimating our trees along that route. So maybe we could just check up on them .... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Absolutely. February 2, 2010 Page 40 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes MR. DUGGAN: And see if they are actually tree experts and just not people because it doesn't appear to me, who is certainly untrained, that they are doing a great job. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Absolutely. Would anybody else like to comment on this acquisition? CARA WELLS: My name is Cara Wells and I think this ~s a very important extension of the Nature Conservancy's Pipe Cove project and instrumental of the maintenance of clean water and sustainable fisheries, so I really think this is an important acquisition and I heartily agree with it. And they are butchering the trees. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to comment on the acquisition? (No response) RESULT: CLOSED IUNANIMOUS] MOVER: Louisa P. Evans, Justice SECONDER: Albert Krupski Jr., Councilman AYES: Ruland, Orlando, Talbot, Krupski Jr., Evans, Russell Closing comments SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That concludes the public hearing, the business of the public hearing. I would now offer anybody the opportunity to come up and address the Town Board on any issue. STEVE HUSAK: Good afternoon, Steve Husak, Mattituck. I have to question, what are we preserving all this land for? I would like an answer. Why do we preserve land in Southold Town? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, there is probably 15 different reasons. First, if we are preserving farmland, it is to keep farming vital and bona fide. If we are preserving parkland, it is for this generation and future generations. It is also to protect the environment. MR. HUSAK: Well, after the last two weeks, I really believe that the Land Preservation Committee believes we are saving it so we can sit and look at it and not even use it. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Steve, I know what you are going to refer to and I actually agree with you on that. I don't think there is any reason why a Boy Scout troop should wait or have to apply for a use of a public asset two months in advance. I am having a meeting, I believe scheduled later this week with the principal people involved. We adopted a land use plan or stewardship plan for that parcel, the Laurel Lake parcel, a few years ago that requires a two month review process for a Boy Scout troop, then we made a fatal flaw and we need to undo that. This is, we are trying to balance the needs of the parcel and good stewardship with the use of the community. But no Boy Scout troop should have to wait, nobody period, should have to wait two months for a review and approval. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: You didn't have your event last weekend, Steve? February 2, 2010 Page 41 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes MR. HUSAK: We held the event, my wife had to take her lunch hour to walk the trails up there with the Land Preservation Committee to mal~e sure the Boy Scouts did not damage Southold Town assets. That is an insult to any Boy Scout that ever put the uniform on. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I think again... MR. HUSAK: And I am speaking as a parent. I am not speaking in any leadership position. I am speaking as a parent. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think that there is, again, an effort to try to balance the needs of the ecosystem there with public use but again, we need to get our act together. I think the suggestion to you, via email, was you should have applied two months prior and that is not very user friendly government. We need to change that, at the very least. MR. HUSAK: And in the past the town has always put a port-a-potty there for us. It cost us almost $100 with tax this year. That is money we could have spent for the child use. Parents are going through hard times, that would like to go on a trip. You know, $100 is $100 in this day and age. And I don't see why, for three years, we had a port-a-potty from the town and this year we were forced to purchase one. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I don't remember anybody requesting one. MR. HUSAK: We requested it and we were told it was our responsibility. If you look at Strawberry Fields, how much does the town spend on the maintenance of that field for the illegal alien soccer league on Sunday's up there. The town is up there mowing that field every week, emptying the garbage cans up there every week and probably paying for the port-a-potties up there. This is for people that don't even live in this town. And anybody that doesn't believe it, come up to the Strawberry Fields every Sunday and see the 300-400 soccer players up there and most of them are from outside of Southold Town because they have been kicked out of their own towns and their own fields and they are using our fields and we can't get a port-a-potty for the Boy Scouts? Come on. My next thing, two years ago I came to you when the traffic light went in at the comer of Cox Neck and 48 there and I asked you for a no turn on red eastbound onto Sound Avenue. It still isn't up and more and more people run that red light heading eastbound. If there is a truck in the main eastbound lane, people come around the backside of it, don't even look and go straight through that red light. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We relayed that to the Transportation Commission that made a request to the Suffolk County Department of Public Works, which has oversight of that road, and we are waiting for them. Unfortunately, that is not a town road. That is not our light. So all we can do is request on behalf of the constituents and hope that they .... MR. HUSAK: Inaudible. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We absolutely will. They might, you know, the answer might be no February 2, 2010 Page 42 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes but I will request it again. MR. HUSAK: Technically, that is not a right turn on red there, that is a continuation of Sound Avenue. Sound Avenue starts at 25A in Baiting Hollow, wherever that is up in that end and ends at 25 in Mattituck by the Presbyterian Church. That is not a right turn on red, that is a continuation of Sound Avenue. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I will certainly bring that to their attention. But their engineers go out and evaluate upon request and look at the site and make a determination. It is the engineers at the end of the day that are going to make a decision. MR. HUSAK: Those are the same engineers that can't get the timing of that light right and you sit there for four or five minutes, when they put a double loop under the concrete to trip it and now you only get a green light there when westbound traffic comes past Strawberry Fields. I don't have high hopes for the county engineers. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, if they are watching, certainly not tonight. MR. HUSAK: And the last thing on the list, down at the end of Breakwater Road before you get to Breakwater beach on the right hand side where the old tank farms used to be, the one remaining piece of property that the town owns, rumors of volleyball court going in there now? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Not, there has been no request made to me directly for a volleyball, you are talking about that tiny little piece of property right to the right? MR. HUSAK: The property where you put the four or five... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No one has made a request to me. I don't know, Vinnie you are the... COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: No, I haven't heard anything. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If the request was made to the Town Board, it would be referred to the Parks and Recreation Committee. Vinnie is the liaison, so then he would discuss with that committee and then bring it back to the Town Board. MR. HUSAK: We just heard about it through our civic association up there and when they found out I was coming, they asked me to ask you if there was permanent... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No request has been made of the town. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: If people are talking about it, it didn't get to here yet. MR. HUSAK: Okay. Okay. It is just a matter of parking down there. Very limited parking. Thank you for your time. February 2, 2010 Page 43 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes MELISSA SPIRO: Melissa Spiro, Land Preservation Coordinator. I would just like to respond to that comment in regard to the Boy Scouts on Laurel Lake. I myself was not involved, however John Sepenoski who is chair of our Land Preservation Committee as a volunteer, did volunteer his time and I believe also his lunch hour and after work and maybe even on the weekend, I am not sure, to go out to meet to make sure that what the Boy Scouts were doing and the properties they were using were the Town's properties because I believe in the past, we do own a lot of land around Laurel Lake and that there had been some misunderstandings. We do have a contract with the water authority and the county and all of those contracts have some strings attached to them and some restrictions and so John just wanted to go out there and make sure that everything was in accordance with what the town had to make sure that everything had in accordance with all of our plan. There is certainly no intent to make people wait two months for .... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That was the suggestion and that is what I need to react to. But I understand the goals that he was trying to achieve there. MS. SPIRO: Right. The Land Preservation Committee meets every two weeks and we try to keep stuff going on that kind of timely basis. I hope this won't happen in the future with the Boy Scouts or any other user or intended user of the town's property. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to come up and address the Town Board on any issue? WILLIAM GIBBONS: My name is William Gibbons, Orient. I am here to discuss the public water issue. I noticed at the beginning of the meeting you mentioned that you had some input meetings, I don't know if that .... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The comprehensive plan? Absolutely. Yes. MR. GIBBONS: I am 100 percent in favor of public water. I have been asking for it for 10 years now. My nitrate level is like 20, the people that own the property at the other end of my property found out after they built their house that it was built on a dump and they still have gasoline in their water. I had gasoline in my water, you can't cook with it. I don't even want to shower with it. You wake up in the morning, you wash your face, your eyes burn. I know that there were 14 people that instigated legal action and I just don't understand it. One of the people, one of the 14, they had a son that died of cancer several years ago and this person told me that they blamed it on the water. But they are still pursuing the idea of not giving us public water in Orient and I am really outraged about it. It is an unhealthy situation and I think it should be corrected. I know a lot of people haven't spoken out about it. And I am going to continue to do so. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just mention, I am in the process, I was organizing a community meeting for all of Orient to have discussions like this, public water. I think there is a lot of hoopla on both sides of the issue and we really need rationale discussion at this point and I February 2, 2010 Page 44 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes think people need to understand precisely what the town's position is. I had to cancel the meeting because of my father's death but I plan on having one very soon. We are going to schedule it out in Orient and go out and talk about the town's position and how this whole dynamic works. But Southold Town Board has no formal position for or against public water in Orient. What we have is an agreement with the Suffolk County Water Authority that is a 20 plus year old agreement that if they are going to amend the water map, where the water goes in Southold Town, they would make a formal request to this Town Board, we would schedule a public hearing, you know, order SEQRA and do all those components of a public heating. Public input, the whole thing. And then make a decision on whether we would agree to amend the map or not. We do it by local law. We are still waiting. I have gotten promises from the director up there that we are going to get a letter requesting an amendment to the water map. We still haven't gotten that. We don't have anything to act on because the water authority hasn't provided us with a letter requesting the amendment to the water map. Our position at this point is a neutral position. It is not for us to deny water to people that want it or need it but it is not for us to go back on what has been a 25 plus year agreement with the Water Authority that both sides need to honor. MR. GIBBONS: It just seems silly to me that if stimulus funds are being made available and they are not being utilized, I think that is crazy. Eventually, somewhere down the line, they are going to have to have public water out there and they are going to probably have to float a bond issue. So why not do it now? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That might very well be their thinking. MR. GIBBONS: If the government can get clean water to Haiti, and I they deserve it, I think we deserve it in Orient, too. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, that might be the Water Authority's thinking. We are just asking them to adhere to an agreement that has been in place for many years. But we are not standing in the way of it, we are just simply asking for them to make the request, follow the formal process. Both sides have adhered to their side of the agreement for 20 some plus years, I would like to see that continue. MR. GIBBONS: I understand exactly where you are coming from but you know, the Health Department told me, they said pregnant women, small children, people with compromised immune systems, people on chemotherapy; they should not be drinking the water. A lot of people may not even be aware of that. And maybe there should be little signs on the table in restaurants, you know, water might be harmful to you. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: How often do you sample the water at your house? MR. GIBBONS: Excuse me? COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: How often do you sample the water at your house? February 2, 2010 Page 45 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes MR. GIBBONS: They were coming on a monthly basis. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Oh, they still have to come there? The county was? MR. GIBBONS: Yes. And they hooked up all kinds of (inaudible) and everything else and I have filters this big that turn black every month, a terrible situation. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: And how long have you lived at that site? MR. GIBBONS: Excuse me? COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: How long have you lived there? MR. GIBBONS: 10 years. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Now did you have your water tested prior to moving in? MR. GIBBONS: I had to have it tested before I moved in. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Right. How was it then? Just out of curiosity? MR. GIBBONS: They didn't test for gasoline. I tested it two years later and that is when I started seeing all these problems. Anyhow, I hope something can be done about it. I appreciate your listening. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Town Board? BENJA SCHWARTZ: Evening. It is always a pleasure. Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue. How are you doing this evening? Sorry I missed you the last meeting, last month when I was here I wished you a happy new year, this evening I would like to wish you a happy new decade. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Thank you. MR. SCHWARTZ: And I would like to ask every one of you, is there anything new this decade? COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: The year is young. MR. SCHWARTZ: The decade is young. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: That as well. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: We are full of optimism. MR. SCHWARTZ: We have, you know, we are one month into this new year and this new decade and are you all willing to listen to some new ideas? Are you ready for that? February 2, 2010 Page 46 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes COUNCILMAN RULAND: You have the floor. COUNCILMAN TALBOT: For five minutes. MR. SCHWARTZ: You may think that is a joke .... COUNCILMAN TALBOT: No, I don't. MR. SCHWARTZ: I don't know if you are all for real but reality is not just about specific issues and I appreciate the work you have done and the focus that you put on specific issues. I think we need to look at a broader picture and a longer term picture. There is a question on the website that is, do you have any issues about the citizens gateway. When you click on it, it just takes you to the gateway, it doesn't really care if you have any issues. Well, there are issues. One of the issues is anybody with a Macintosh computer, with an Apple Macintosh computer cannot view videos on line. Did you know that? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, in Southampton, they have a notice on their website that if you are having problmns and you have a Macintosh computer, you can go to the Microsoft website and download the software necessary to view Southold Town website on an Apple computer. So I suggest that we make that information available to people who may have issues on our website. What else is new? Are any of you familiar with the north fork view? Do you know what I am talking about? COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Yes. COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Yes, with the website, the gentleman in the back there. MR. SCHWARTZ: The north fork view. com ..... COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Joey dot com .... MR. SCHWARTZ: No, no, it is not him. It is Rob (inaudible) and company. And in addition to that we have Riverhead local dot corn and let me assure you, you will not read about these websites in the Suffolk Times. I think you know why. But seriously, they are an important source of local information, Riverhead local dot com recently had an article about the water supply in Riverhead. An associate there, Gary (inaudible) runs the water district and they are following a policy of drill baby drill. No, dig baby dig. Well, you know, they are trying to provide more watm' for Riverhead. But we are now in competition to them because we are utilizing water from Riverhead in Southold Town despite the fact that every reputable planning study ever done for Southold Town on the issue recommended very strongly against that. The Suffblk County Water Authority has already implemented that program. Well, let me talk about something I know about, imho. Does anybody know what that means? In my humble opinion. I February 2, 2010 Page 47 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes believe 2020 is a new age for Southold Town. In my dictionary, the antonym of corruption is integrity and that is what I am here for tonight, to try and ask you to demonstrate and think in terms of integrity and wholism and not just focus on individual but focus on the public interest. And I use the example of the website. Some people have asked my recently why is Southold Town all of a sudden starting to work on the website? You have been asking them for years and they haven't done anything, now they are starting to do something. Not really. You are doing what you have been doing all along, which is add more on top of a foundation, a faulty foundation. What I have been asking you to do is to look at the foundation of the website and rebuild it from the ground up. The more you build on top of a faulty foundation, the more pressure you are putting on that foundation and the more problems you are going to have. Even Tom Wickham, anybody else miss Tom? But one thing that Tom never did, he was never a big advocate of websites but as was evidenced to his letter to the editor, the Suffolk Times two weeks ago, he referred people who were interested in finding out more about the New Suffolk waterfront fund to their website. Even Tom Wickham is now relying on websites. And I don't care if you voted for Obama or McCain, the fact is that good portion of the votes for Obama were probably due to use of the websites, the potential of the internet. And I don't think there is a real estate agent in town that would say the website hasn't played a role in their business. I think the web has even greater potential for government. And I would again ask you, as I have been doing for almost 10 years now, to get real about building a strong website. Does anybody have any questions? Oh, what else have we got? Well, nobody has mentioned tonight the Southold Town master plan, comprehensive plan, Southold 2020. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Actually I referred the public right in the very beginning. I don't know if you were here yet. To the upcoming public meetings that we are having, I discussed all that at the start of the meeting. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You are welcome. MR. SCHWARTZ: I appreciate that. Did you talk about last night's meeting? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. MR. SCHWARTZ: Do you have anything that you would like to share about that? I just .... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It is a work in progress. It is going to take a couple of years, I would like to see better attendance in the future. I think as the ball gets rolling we will see bigger assemblages of people participating in the process. What we had last night was a good group of people but they are the familiar faces that are at all the various community minded efforts. I would like to see them go out and bring other people in and have good, full rooms with meaningful discussion. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, I get a lot of feedback from people that you know, master plans, comprehensive plans, they are a lot of hot air to put it politely. It is not exactly what they say but February 2, 2010 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes Page 48 I can't exactly repeat what they say here. But you know, the material that was distributed at the meetings this week is happening now. not next year, not 10 years from now, not in the afterlife. You know, we are having meetings right now to define the vision which is according to planning department that is writing the plan, the foundation of our plan which will control the content of all the other chapters and there was a proposed vision statement, would paragraph vision statement. Well, I don't want to waste your time but does anybody object if I read that vision statement? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Go ahead. MR. SCHWARTZ: There are a lot of other things that I can talk about. I will, I am pulling that up right now. as I pull it up, I would like to mention that there is a video available in the Cutchogue library called Flow. For the love of water. I got a lot of laughs when I mentioned that I love my well. But for the love of water is a documentary which is done in a very entertaining way about the privatization of water on a global basis and it is not a question of whether one individual has a right to pure, clean water or not, we would like everybody to have pure, clean water but the question is, is it better to have a private entity or to have some kind of a public plan and provision of that water. That is one of the issues that hopefully will be covered in the comprehensive plan. The official draft vision statement for the Town of Southold comprehensive plan, the new plan 2020 states that the Town of Southold is a community of extraordinary beauty and resources with a deep and meaningful history. I am not going to, I don't know what all this means, if it means anything but I mean, I agree with it but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what resources are we talking about? And the deep and meaningful history? What, you know, it is a lot of words and I don't blame the people that are say/ng this is all a bunch of hokey. Southold benefits from the unique combination of diverse hamlets, working farmland, open space and productive waters. Our citizens value Southold's rural qualities and small town feel. Future growth must be designed to balance all of the quality of rural small town life with the growing local economy to ensure Southold remains a desirable place to live, work and visit. Now that I have a problem with. I have a problem with balancing the quality of rural small town life. They don't even mention environment but you know with the growing local economy because the economy that I have known for the past generation, 45 years that I have been here, have not always been growing. A lot of the parts of the economy have been dying or in decline and other parts have been growing. But I think we need to take control of this at this point with a plan. And one thing I would like to see in the plan is that we recognize that the past is the past and this idea that we can preserve the past, you know, let's get real. We live in the present. The past is the past. What is real is the present and what will be real is the future and if we don't prepare for it, then we are not planning for it and we are going to accept what comes and the reality is that currently we are under a, we are partially rural, we still have some rural character but we also have a good proportion of this town has become suburban and the question is, how will this plan guide us in the future. There is no way that we can ensure future growth must be designed, that is not the role of government to impose a design but we can guide if we chose to do so and you six people have probably, the most say but everybody in Southold Town has a say to that and I think that rather than just preserving the past, if we look towards developing a sustainable economy and I believe that a sustainable economy is based on a healthy environment and that it is not the environment versus the economy or the February 2, 2010 Page 49 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes environment and the economy in balance, the economy is built on the environment and depends on the environment and the environment is the base of the economy and whether we use the environment or whether we call it a natural resource or whether it is just nature that we respect and make passive recreation out of it or whatever, I strongly urge you to support nature. I thank you for your time and I will be here. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to comment on any issue?
