LAND PRESERVATION COI¥1MITTEE
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
LAND PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING
APRIL 8, 1996
MINUTES
The meeting started at 7:30 p.m. Present were: Joe Gold, Jim Pim,
Tom Madigan, Fred Lee, Jim Rich, Michael Croteau, Ruth Oliva and
Al Krupski.
The committee had received a letter from Al Krupski aksing for
permission to construct a greenhouse on land with the development
rights sold. The proposed greenhouse will be of hoop and plastic
construction and will be 48 feet long. Only a minimal amount of soil
grading will be necessary, as the site is on high ground and well
drained. It will be used seasonally to produce Vegetable and flower
seedlings for field production. A motion was made by Jim Rich and
seconded by Tom Madigan to approve the construction of the green-
house. All were in favor.
Progress of Open Space Study - Joe has spoken to Valerie Scopaz, who
is working on this study. When completed, we should know how many
acres are farmland and open space*. How many acres have approved
subdivision maps? How t~i~l~y have submitted subdivision maps but are
not as yet approved? There are apprgximately 1700 acres on the
market for sale. This study is underway. When it is completed, it
will be presented to the Town Board.
The committee discussed possible changes in the Town Code in regard
to la,nd preservation and the process for the purchase of development
rights. Joe will go over these possible changes with Laury Dowd,
Town Attorney.
The committee also discussed the possibility of records being kept of
buildings on property where the development rights were sold. Guide-
lines should be set up for structures. Some towns such as East Hampton
can sell the development rights to County, State or Land Trust. Joe
will check with Valerie on this.
Joe received a memo from Supervisor Cochran asking him to contact
Mike Carrachiola re: the County having $1,000,000.00 for land
preservation.
A motion was made by Jim Pim and seconded by Fred Lee to adiourn
the meeting at 0:45. All were in favor.
Respectfully submitte~d,
~Joyce M. Wilkins
