IV. EFFECTIVE DATE

provided by law.
I have a notice that it was posted in the Suffolk Times on the 13th of October 2011, on the
Town Clerk's bulletin board on the 13th day of October 2011 and that is it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment on this particular local law?
Yes, Peter.
PETER HARRIS, SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS: Peter Harris, Superintendent
of Highways, Town of Southold. I believe all the members of the Board, I had sent you
all a memo on my professional opinion pertaining to this law. I do not feel that it is
necessary for this stop sign, two way stop signs on Nassau Point Road to be installed. In
the almost 10 years that I have been in office, to my knowledge, there has never been a
traffic accident at that location. I had, when the Southold Town Transportation
Commission had acted on this and sent something back to the Board, I am a member of
that Transportation Commission however, I was out recuperating from surgery at the
time, so I was not at that meeting so I couldn't voice my opinion. Again, I went down to
that location, the intersection of Vanston where it comes in and it meets Nassau Point
Road. One of the things I saw that to me was a little alarming as far as from a safety
standpoint, is the very large sign welcoming everyone to Nassau Point and the shrubbery
that has been planted on that comer. That in essence is, you can't see, it is very tough to
see oncoming traffic heading in a northerly direction coming offthe point. Coming on to
the point, there is a rise and quick fall of the roadway. Even with a sign alerting stop sign
Amendments to Chapter 260 Public Hearing
October 25, 2011
ahead, I feel you are making the intersection mom dangerous than what you may, what
the residents of the point may feel that is there now. Vanston Road is an intersecting
road, to me, you do not put stop signs on as a means of, for speed control, okay?. You
have police to do that. Signage, but to turn around, I just, from a professional standpoint
you are making an intersection more dangerous than what is currently there. So from my
standpoint as the Highway Superintendent, I am against this local law.
TOM CORNWELL: Tom Comwell, Nassau Point resident and president of the Nassau
Point property owners association. It is not so much the speed, if people didn't speed, it
would be less of a problem, but we need to have the stop sign in both directions for two
reasons in my opinion. Particularly during the summer time we have lots of pedestrians
going to and fi.om the causeway to go to the beaches. And there is a lot of blind spots at
that particular comer, so if we have people stopping, they are not zipping through at 30 to
40 mph, sometimes mom. Heading north on Nassau Point Road, there are two crests with
a dip and the stop sign would have to go, this is Vanston Road coming in if you will,
there is a crest and a dip and the problem with coming out of Vanston on to Nassau Point
Road is them is about 5 seconds, 4 seconds that a car disappears here, so when you pull
out and it has happened to a lot of us who pull out, that all of a sudden you will find
someone on your tail if you don't accelerate pretty quickly. If you are coming north on
Nassau Point Road, the rear end question is almost eliminated because you can see fi.om
the first crest, the crest farthest away fi.om the stop sign or the proposed stop sign, you
can see where the stop sign would be, any car that would be there. If you are in the
valley, you would have been, you would have seen the car in front of you fi'om the crest
beforehand, so the rear end question is really I think a little incorrect. If I may quote a
few more statistics, at 30 mph a car takes 109 feet to stop, according to James Madison
University. A truck takes 123 feet to stop. At 40 mph, a car takes 164 feet and a truck
takes 190 feet. Those distances are plenty within, well within the tolerance levels to
prevent rear ends. So I disagree rather much with Superintendent Harris, I do think it is
necessary. We have lots of people who use the Vanston exit to get off the Point who
have bitterly complained about problems. Again, I think the car issue however, is less of
a problem than children walking to the beach, during the summertime particularly.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Just to give you a quick history, the request had come in, the
Transportation Commission had reviewed it and I presume, Pete, that that wasn't a
meeting that you were able to attend. The Transportation Commission did raise some,
certain concerns. First being the lack of data to suggest that there had been accidents and
that it was warranted, secondly, they raised the issue of I believe, history. I believe there
were stop signs there I want to say, I am trying to remember, I actually grew up right off
of Vanston so I want to say maybe 15 years ago or thereabouts. I think Dave Bergen can
tell you. I think he recalls stop signs as well. Maybe not but I thought I remembered that
for a short time they were there.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: They were on the east side of the causeway.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They ....
Amendments to Chapter 260 Public Hearing 4
October 25, 2011
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: They were on the east side of the causeway and they took
them down pretty quickly.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, then that wouldn't be pertinent to the discussion then.
But what they did was look, you asked as a board of directors, go out and get a consensus
of what the community down there, it is a community road, get a sense of what the
community wants and I was at your meeting and it was pretty clear that the
overwhelming majority of the people that were at the meeting wanted the stop signs.
There were a few detractors but generally, most of the people at that summer meeting
were very much supportive of the installation. But it is not for me to impose my will on
that large community. I will support it simply because that is what the community asked
for by a great margin. Anybody else want to comment on this particular issue?
JOHN LADEMANN: John Lademann, Cutchogue. I ran an business and I used to go to
Nassau Point quite a bit and as a volunteer fireman, fire chief, I don't think it is necessary
to have stop signs there. I have traveled there so many times in 50 something years and
never saw an accident there either. So I just want to comment. I back up what Mr. Harris
said.
MR. CORNWELL: Tom Comwell again. I think one of the issues that when I hear
history, Nassau Point has changed so dramatically in the last particular 10 years with
many more children and it is just not the same as it used to be. We have many more
contractors on the Point, some who don't seem to understand 30. I am not sure they
understand 40 but that is another issue. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of
the members of the association would like stop signs put in on Nassau Point Road to not
so much slow traffic down but to make it easier to exit the Point from Vanston.
ELLEN PATERNO: Ellen Patemo. I live on Vanston Road, so one of the things is that
there are so many of the roads that exit on to Vanston and those people have to come out
of Vanston onto Nassau Point Road to get out of there and pretty much the way you have
to do it is you look quickly and you know that there are those dips in the road, which is
really the main problem and just hold your breath and just go because I have seen so
many times that you almost get clipped or all of a sudden the car is not there and then it is
there and we have so many people on the roads now walking and riding bikes and I don't
think we want to discourage that but honestly, it is dangerous for people to be doing that
with the situation here. At least the stop signs would control the situation more and you
know, if you see a car stopped, you can go but at this point, it is really a very bad
situation and the fact that maybe them hasn't been accidents is just for the grace of god
because I just think it is a big problem them, so I hope that you will consider putting
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Just for the, my opinion is and I am familiar with that
intersection and I think there have been no accidents there because people know it is not a
perpendicular straight away type, wide open type intersection. People there are familiar
with it and they are cautious there because they know that people can come around the
Amendments to Chapter 260 Public Heating
October 25, 2011
comer or can come over the hill pretty quickly, so you have to be cautious. And being
familiar with it and I didn't grow up there like the Supervisor but I had friends up in
Nassau Point and I wouldn't want to support a stop sign there because in my opinion, it
would be more dangerous. People coming around the curve, coming over the hill, if there
was a car parked there, I think it would make a more dangerous situation. That is my
opinion.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: I heard a good recommendation today, the way that road is
splayed out that if there was either a type of median in there or painted section of the road
that would have the cars coming off of Vanston to stay off to the fight side so they can
more clearly see down Nassau Point Road. I also would not support this and I think
maybe something to that effect may solve the problems without the stop signs. I think it
is, you are not supposed to put stop signs to control speed and even though they may say
it is not because of the speed, it's, you keep saying it is because of the speed.
MR. CORNWELL: So that is not the correct, when you are pulling out onto Nassau
Point Road from Vanston, it is very difficult to feel comfortable, particularly with traffic
coming from the north or coming north on the road because of the dip. The stop sign
simply makes it, facilitates the ease of exiting Vanston onto Nassau Point Road. The
other issue, as I say, are pedestrians getting to and from the beach in the summertime.
That is a very different issue but the stop sign allows people to walk across the road with
some degree of safety. Right now there is, you can hear the cars but you don't know
exactly where they are. And I am concerned that smaller children, who aren't always
accompanied by, I don't mean toddlers but I mean younger people that are not
accompanied by adults, horsing around and not paying attention. If we have a death on
that road and or a serious injury to a pedestrian, I am going to be very discouraged with
not having stop signs there.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Wouldn't you think if you were a pedestrian on that road
coming off of Vanston, you would stay to that side of the road there?
MR. CORNWELL: You have to cross the road to get to the causeway beaches.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Well, yes eventually, but that is a flat area out there on the
causeway.
MR. CORNWELL: But if you, when you come around, because the causeway, coming
south of the causeway, here are the beaches. Coming south on the causeway there is a
slight curve where Vanston Road comes in and then of course, Nassau Point Road comes
almost straight north there. You can't see very well because of the curve and so your
natural inclination is to cross here. If you try and do it here, or walk around so your view
is longer, you are at the curve for the people coming north. So there is a blind spot
whichever way you go.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Exactly where is the destination of the pedestrians?
Amendments to Chapter 260 Public Heating 6
October 25, 2011
MR. CORNWELL: Going to the beaches of the causeway.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Exactly where?
MR. CORNWELL: The south ....
COUNCILMAN RULAND: There are two separate beaches, fight?
MR. CORNWELL: This is the Nassau Point beach.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: That one?
MR. CORNWELL: Yes.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Okay. Because the other beach, the pedestrian would be
violating the law walking on that side of the road. Because they must walk facing traffic.
So the pedestrians, directly cross the highway to get to the beach? Or will they have to
walk parallel to the highway to gain access to the private beach?
MR. CORNWELL: Depending upon where they cross, they have to cross, if they are
coming from most of Nassau Point, they have to cross Nassau Point Road to get to the
beaches. At some point. Whether they cross at Vanston, that would be the natural
inclination, is to cross at Vanston or to walk a little ways around the curve because that is
where the beach is exactly and there is a roadway going into the beach right there. One
of the two places is where everybody seems to cross the road. Obviously the members of
the association, particularly those who live or have to access or to get off the Point via
Vanston Road feel very strongly on this issue.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The Transportation Commission asked you to do something,
they asked you to go out and get a sense of the entire community. You did that, I was
there. I have to be honest, I come off that Vanston Road for 35 years now and my
presumption is that the community knows that it is a bad spot and have adjusted their
driving habits accordingly. However, I was at the meeting, it was a request by the
community board and they have the support of their community behind them. I don't
know how I can turn that down.
MR. CORNWELL: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And it was a very, very large meeting that summer. That
summer meeting. But, does anyone else want to comment on this particular issue?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Them is no cross walk?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Is there a need for a cross walk?
Amendments to Chapter 260 Public Hearing 7
October 25,2011
MR. CORNWELL: I am not sure it would change anything.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I am not suggesting to substitute one for the other, I am
merely asking is there a need for a cross walk?
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Then you would have to put the stop sign, so they would
stop for the cross walk ....
MR. CORNWELL: I think if we have stop signs you are going to get people naturally
crossing where it is safest. I mean, that would be my assumption. To put a cross walk
any other place other than where the proposed stop signs would be, would then create
confusion because you would have to put the crosswalk on the causeway or somewhere
presumably just before you get on to Nassau Point, so whether you do it just before you
get on or just at~er you get on Nassau Point at the proposed stop signs or just before you
get on Nassau Point itself. I am not sure it makes that much difference. I think it is better
to have it at where the proposed stop signs are, if we were to do that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment on this? (No response)
