COUNCILMAN TALBOT: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, there has been presented to the
Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, on the 17th day of January,
2012, a Local Law entitled "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 236~
Stormwater Management".
NOTICE 1S HERBY FURTHER GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will
hold a public hearing on the aforesaid Local Law at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road,
Southold, New York, on the 31st day of January, 2012 at 4:32 p.m. at which time all interested
persons will be given an opportunity to be heard.
The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 236~
Stormwater Management" reads in part:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2012
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 236~
Stormwater Management".
I. Chapter 236 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 236-1. Title.
This chapter shall be known as the" ~'~:"- ' "
Stormwater ~ ......~, ~.~ r,, ....... c,^.,.~ ~ ....
Management; Erosion & Sediment Control; and Illicit Discharges Law."
§ 236-2. Statutory authorization/and conflicts with other laws.
A. Statutory Authorization
This chapter is enacted pursuant to § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to promote the
public health, safety and general welfare of Town citizens through land use regulations intended
to control flooding, erosion or sedimentation within the entire Town. T~. ..... : ......... :~: .... c
B__: Conflict with Other Laws.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be minimum
requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare. Arhenever the
requirements of this chapter are at variance with the requirements of the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation SPDES General Permits for Construction Activities
(GP-0-10-001) and for Stormwater Discharges from MS4s (GP-02-02), as amended or revised,
and the corresponding regulations, the most restrictive or that imposing the highest standards
shall govern.
§ 236-3. Findings of fact.
It is hereby determined that:
A. Land development activities and associated increases in site impervious cover often
January 31,2012 Page 27
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
alter the hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase stormwater runoff rates
and volumes, flooding, stream channel erosion, or sediment transport and deposition;
Stormwater runoff contributes to increased quantities of water-borne pollutants,
including siltation of aquatic habitat for fish and other desirable species and may
adversely affect aquatic organisms through changes in temperature and salinity;
Clearing and grading during construction tends to increase soil erosion and add to the
loss of native vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat;
Improper design and construction of stormwater management practices can increase
the velocity of stormwater runoff thereby increasing stream bank, shoreline and bluff
erosion and sedimentation;
Impervious surfaces allow less water to percolate into the soil, thereby decreasing
groundwater recharge and stream baseflow;
Substantial economic losses can result from these adverse impacts on the waters of
the Town;
Stormwater runoff, soil erosion and nonpoint source pollution can be controlled and
minimized through the regulation of stormwater runoff from land development
activities;
The regulation of stormwater runoff discharges from land development activities in
order to control and minimize increases in stormwater runoff rates and volumes, soil
erosion, stream channel, shoreline and bluff erosion, and nonpoint source pollution
associated with stormwater runoff is in the public interest and will minimize threats to
public health and safety; and
Regulation of land development activities by means of performance standards
governing stormwater management and site design will produce development
compatible with the natural functions of a particular site or an entire watershed and
thereby mitigate the adverse effects of erosion and sedimentation from development.
Illicit discharges threaten water quality through the introduction of toxic and
hazardous substances.
§ 236-3 4. Purpose.
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote and protect, to the gr-eates{ maximum extent
practicable, the public health, safety and general welfare by: (i) establishing minimum
stormwater management requirements and controls; (ii) regulating non-stormwater discharges to
the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) to the maximum extent practicable as required
by federal and state law; and (iii) establishing methods for controlling the introduction of
pollutants into the MS4 in order to comply with requirements of the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General
Permit for MS4. The objectives of this chapter are as follows:
A. Minimizing soil erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff;
B. Controlling, restricting or prohibiting activities which alter natural drainage systems,
floodplains, stream channels and natural protective features, including, but not limited to,

The complete text of the proposed local law is available for review on the Southold Town's
Website: southoldtown.northfork, net and copies are available at the Southold Town Clerk's
office during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
A few things here, it was posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin board on January 19, 2012 and it
was posted in the Suffolk Times on January 26, 2012. A letter from the LWRP coordinator,
"The proposed local law has been reviewed to chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the
Town of Southold town code and the LWRP policy standards. Based upon the information
provided to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that
the proposed action is consistent with the LWRP policy standards and therefore is consistent
with the LWRP. Pursuant to chapter 268, the Town Board shall consider this recommendation in
January 31, 2012 Page 29
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
preparing its written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action." I have a
letter from the Planning Board, the chairman of the Planning Board Donald Wilcenski, "The
Planning Board has reviewed the local law in relation to amendments to chapter 236, stormwater
management and offers the following comments: 1. The Planning Board recommends that a
stormwater management officer (SMO) be designated within the Planning Department to
facilitate the processing of applications that do not require a lengthy review. The benefits of this
proposal are: a. Planning Board staff currently reviews site plans and subdivisions for storm
water best management practices making recommendations to the Planning Board. The
recommendations are discussed with the Planning Board at length, capitalizing on their
knowledge of the properties and proven practices. B. As a part of the LWRP review process,
Planning Board staff also reviews Board of Trustees and Zoning Board of Appeals applications
for storm water best management practices making specific recommendations to the boards on
storm water controls. This process currently achieves the purpose of a SMO. C, The reviews in
the early stages of the application process provide better guidance to applicants and add
consistency to the permits issued by the discretionary boards as they move through multiple
reviews. 2. Not all applications need to be sent out of office for review. The Planning Board
feels that the experience of the members combined working with staff to approve a stormwater
management control plan could improve review time frames for applications. In many
situations, streamlined stormwater management control plans are sufficient. Applicant input at
work session and meetings also could change the proposed best management practices required
and it would be efficient to have the changes accepted or rejected by the Planning Board. The
applications that are moderate to large in scale that require a full SWPPP would still require
sending out to the town engineer. Recommended changes to specific code section, page 25,
section 236-8, storm water management officer and authority. The designated stormwater
management officers are the building inspector, plans reviewer, code enforcement officials,
zoning inspector, town engineer, engineering inspector and a member of the planning staff. The
stormwater management officers shall have the following authority: page 25, section 236-8
stormwater management officer and authority, A. to accept and review all stormwater pollution
prevention plans and forward such plans to the applicable municipal board. The authority of the
SMO changes the current referral process. It requires that SWPPP's should be submitted directly
to a SMO then the SWPPP is sent to reviewing boards. Currently, the reviewing board accepts
SWPPP's in the application process and refers to the office of the town engineer, SMO as
outlined in section 236-17, application process. The planning board would like the current
process to remain to achieve better record keeping in the files and manage response times.
Please amend the proposed processes to be consistent." From the town engineers office, "My
office has received a comment related to chapter 236, it was a contractors question related to
final approval of a drainage installation. They wanted to know if final dimension locations (as-
built) would be needed. Their concem is that when a homeowner calls them to maintain existing
systems they usually need to dig up half the yard to find where it actually is. Their suggestion
was that if as-built dimensions were recorded for final approval (similar to SCHD requirements)
it would benefit everyone. There is no need for engineers or surveyors to certify the location.
The contractor can just record the dimensions from at least two comers of the foundation or other
fixed locations. I would agree with this assessment." James Richter, office of the Engineer,
Town of Southold. And finally from Suffolk County Department of Planning, "Pursuant to the
requirements of section A14-14 thru A14-25 of the Suffolk county administrative code, the
January 31, 2012 Page 30
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
above referenced application which has been submitted to the Suffolk County Planning
Commission is considered to be a matter for local determination as there is no apparent
significant county wide or inter community impact. A decision of local determination should not
be construed as either an approval or disapproval. And that is from Sarah Lansdale, director of
planning and Andrew Freleng, chief planner." And that is it.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL:
Ray?
Would anybody like to comment on this particular public hearing?
Ray Huntington, rep Fleets Neck Property Owners Assoc
RAY HUNTINGTON: Ray Huntington, Cutchogue. Speaking for the Fleets Neck property
owners association. We have a few comments about MS 4 and this legislation. In particular the
purpose, 26-3-4. Thc purpose of thc clean water act is to get full usc of thc surface waters,
particularly the impaired water bodies. Let mc first say I don't mcan to, wc don't mcan to
minimize thc work that has bccn put in here, it is excellent. The morass fostered upon us by the
federal government has bccn well mirrored. However, we arc speaking from a more practical
point of view. We should make it clear in the purpose that it is the water that counts, that is what
we are really trying to change. Which the bureaucratic nature of the requiring legislation has the
clear potential to direct resources towards the paper compliance effort ad infinitum. It also
introduces a great opportunity for error in the sense of missing the point of the whole effort and
the whole investment. That is we might forget that is the quality of the water that matters. Up
front, it is necessary, I will just go into a couple of details beyond the purpose but it just seems
obvious to us that we need to pay more than adequate attention to determining what the
contaminants are. And reviewing all the literature that we have reviewed, nobody is quite sure
what is wrong with the water. So, is it the water fowl that is doing it? Is it the wildlife, people,
pets, what is it? There seems to be some more to go in that regard. We need to pay particular
attention to the adequacy of the regulatory testing. Is the sampling done correctly, sufficiently, is
the lab testing as required? Is the data reduced properly? All these things are bearing upon
tremendous investments. And we really need to understand the problem before we throw money
at it. I would like to see that reference included within the purpose, because the entire legislation
is based upon how you run the machine. But some place we ought to explain why we are
running the machine. That is the end of our statement for now. We would be happy to elaborate
on any part of it as we go down stream here and we hope that it can be made practical and not
just a paper exercise.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Thank you. Although 1 guess we didn't really make it clear that it
is not really our machine.
MR. HUNTINGTON: Inaudible.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: You are right. That is what we are struggling with, trying to adopt
EPA mandate coming through the DEC to the town level and we are struggling to fit it into the
town system.

Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
particular public hearing? Pat?
Patrieia C. Moore, Attorney
PAT MOORE: I actually want to commend Ray Huntington's comments because he really got
to the heart of this, 1 guess my question is, what is your time frame? Have you been given a
directive that this must be adopted by a certain date?
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: March.
MS. MOORE: March.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I think March 9th.
MS. MOORE: Okay. And failure to adopt, what happens?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I think what you would see, it's a federal mandate that is
enforced by the DEC. The DEC has full force and authority to levy fines for lack of compliance,
pretty substantial fines I might add (inaudible) townships and municipalities that don't have this
in place.
MS. MOORE: Ray points out very appropriately that this is a huge, huge pile of legislation that
really, there was an article in Newsday, I think it was, based on that one case where the DEC was
criticized for not following through on NOI's. And one of the comments that was made in that
article is that the conditions in the town are very different between Huntington and Southold.
They actually mentioned Southold. And that is very true and it seems like we are adopting laws
or these set of regulations that are kind of generic, that don't distinguish between upstate New
York issues with drainage versus out here and how we have dealt with drainage. It is very
frustrating because for the last 20 years, every legislation, every code provision that this town
has adopted has dealt with stormwater and retention and preservation and protection of wetlands.
That is the whole point of all our regulations and to be thrown with this pile of stuff is, it is, just
overwhelming in the sense that when you read it, you know, we do conservation subdivisions
arguably when they are, the goal of conservation subdivisions are to encourage people in a
simplified process but based on your adoption of this law, the road system for a conservation
subdivision might reach that one acre threshold and sure enough, all the efforts that we made to
convince people to participate in conservation subdivisions are going to be undone when they
have to hire somebody to prepare a full SWPPP, that's reality. And you know, a home that is
over 5,000 square feet, by the time you, large homes with garages and so on, you could easily
have a 5,000 square foot home, even out here in Southold. And that too, arguably you would
have to address the SWPPP criteria. It seems that there needs to be some form of
communication with a representative and with the powers that be that are telling you that you
have to adopt this law in toro, I am assuming that you pretty much cut and paste from the draft
law that they have sent you and just put it in here with some additional language to incorporate
some of the specifics of Southold but for the most part, this is very generic and frustrating I think
for an attorney and land use. I read this and I think to myself, what a waste of money and what a
January 31, 2012 Page 32
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
waste of time because it just, the process if really not commensurate with the results. Ray points
out that we don't even know what the water quality of our water bodies are, that hasn't been
determined, so to expect private people and the municipality to invest in the cost of, most likely
you are going to have to hire more people, you know Jamie is one person but you need to have
an engineer that has ability to review these SWPPP's, I mean, if I have to pay for an engineer to
prepare it and I have somebody reviewing it, I mean, we are going to, you know, where does the
argument occur with oh, no I am right, no you are right, you know, we are going to start having
issues of experts and the challenge of experts. So it seems to me that it is a huge expense for the
town, it is a huge expense for the public and for the property owners and I would ask you please,
before you adopt this, work your magic up the ladder and try to persuade them to maybe hold off
until the DEC themselves has a better understanding of how to enforce and how to customize and
recognize the efforts that have already been adopted by the town. It is, you know, this is Albany,
well, federal government, Albany rather than on a local level looking to see what it is that we
need as far as codes. So, don't rush to adopt this if you can. Really see what you can do to get a
dispensation until there is some training and some clarification because even the preparation of
these SWPPP's, when I started looking on the intemet for programs, there are, I didn't see any.
There was one program of $1,500 that was, and I couldn't even trust the entity that was giving
this program. It sounded more like when I read it, one of these colleges that, you know, income
derived programs to try to generate money and you know, questionable training. So please, look
into it a little more. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on this?
Paul Silansky, Fleets Neck property owner
PAUL SILANSKY: Paul Silansky with the Fleets Neck property owners. And I would just like
to ask a question so I have something maybe to take back with me from this meeting. We have
been in line for a couple of years with requests to look at the stormwater runoff problem in Fleets
Neck, so naturally any effort that looks like it provides a glimmer of hope to have things
improved is important. We have a couple of major problems, one, the creeks are closed to
shellfishing due to the pollution that is present and two, we have a lot of flooding on some of the
roads and we kind of feel like some of the answer lies in installing upstream catch basins if you
will. And so ! don't know whether the robber meets the road or the stormwater meets the road,
what do we tell our residents, what kind of message can we give them with some optimism that
somewhere in here are some answers where we might get some movement and what we are
concerned about is the same kind of theme that has been running through the last two speakers is
that sometimes there is a new system or a new method or a new set of guidelines and that can
delay some practical progress. So what kind of message can we take back to our group of
families on Fleets Neck?
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Well, this proposed legislation takes into account the town's
drainage code and we have had a drainage code on the books since 2007 and the Trustees
adopted or the Town Board adopted before the Trustees in 2005, the drainage requirements,
currently wetland application. Every time it rains and especially on a hard surface, a roof or a
driveway, and it runs into the road, it becomes road runoff. The whole purpose of the drainage
January 31, 2012 Page 33
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
code was that every time someone pulls a building permit, you have got to maintain your own
drainage on your own property whether it be a driveway improvement or enlargement or addition
to a home, basically it is a gutters and drywell law. So that especially a place like down in Fleets
Neck where you have good drainage, you put your own roof runoff or driveway runoff into the,
recharge that into the groundwater, it doesn't run into the road and it doesn't increase the volume
of water flowing down into the creeks or straight down Pequash into the bay. So what really this
law does is address larger projects that serve more than an acre in size with a lot of detail and a
lot of expense and a lot of oversight. So the town's drainage code is still in force.
MR. SILANSKY: So then the trigger in the system primarily, and I glanced but I haven't had
time to study it but I glanced through the pages and the trigger in there, the action, is construction
or an application for plumbing or some form of development.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Land disturbance.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Right.
MR. SILANSKY: My point is, I think it reference over 13 bodies of water that are now closed
to shellfishing, so we are talking about an existing situation and you have got runoff from 300
families in the case of Fleets Neck, that all run down to two sides, one to West creek and it just
floods the roads and it floods the driveways and it is impassable by foot, so what is the trigger in
the system to get the person who is the inspector or the individual without a building permit or
something, to go there and say, you know what? We are studying this area and prioritizing and
developing some kind of remediation plan.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, I agree and I just think there is two separate issues. One
is what is the runoff doing to the creeks and the water bodies and we are creating the stormwater,
shellfish advisor committee to help us answer that. now Ray raised that question, is the water
even polluting, what are the sources of the pollution. We are trying to address that at the town
level with DNA testing and all those other things. The problem is the federal government and
the state government aren't telling us that we have time to do that, they are telling us that this
needs to be implemented. Also I know that you made an appointment to see the highway
superintendent. Some of this isn't necessarily stormwater mitigation in terms of, in the context
of this law. There is flood control and that is with the catch basins and everything that you seek
down there, so I am hoping that you have a fruitful meeting with the highway superintendent to
address some of those issues down there. I certainly know you have many of them. I know that
area very well.
MR. SILANSKY: I appreciate it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But I don't think this legislation is going to necessarily put anything
into place tomorrow that is going to solve the problems at Fleets Neck. To be perfectly candid.
MR. SILANSKY: Okay. Thanks for the clarification.
January 31,2012 Page 34
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Can I say for the record based on the discussions that took
place at the work session today, the Planning Board comments I believe, were discussed with the
Town Board and there was the agreement that their proposed change that was read into the
record would be modified and that section 236-8 would be amended to allow appointment of
SMO's by Town Board resolution as opposed to direct designation in the local law. So I just
want that to be reflected into the record and (inaudible) the record to Pat's concerns, the record
will be left open so that comments that were made here and others that are received in writing
can be incorporated into the law and further comment can be obtained at the next town board
meeting.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I also want to mention that this represents a substantial amount of
work on the part of this town. I think the cut and paste analogy is just not appropriate to the
amount, the excruciating meetings we have had over this, over the past year or so. The DEC is
basically, has given Southold a gold star when it comes to stormwater management, they told us
in the past year, you are way ahead in the game compared to the rest of the towns. And they
have showed us a little bit of largesse here, they only have so much room to work, within to
work. They were just recently sued by the natural resources defense counsel, that is taking them
to court saying you need to go faster, quicker. You know, they are in a tough spot like we are.
We are trying to comply with this as best we can, we are trying to figure out how we can get
training to these contractors so that you don't have to pay for these third parties, I know that that
is an expense we would all like to avoid. We are trying to do everything we can to comply with
this and at the same time what is required under state law, which is the adoption.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: And we are trying to accomplish that without hiring new
personnel, which we have so far. All this work has been done in-house, through the committee.
You know, town employees.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
particular public hearing?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: One other revision that we discussed today was article 5 is
going to be slightly reworked and reorganized, the administration and enforcement section. It is
not so much substantive as much as form. We reviewed that today with the Town Board and that
also will be a change and we ask that the Town Clerk re-notice those changes and they will be
placed in the website prior to the next public hearing.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board? Let's close
the hearing and then I will go right to you.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Recess the hearing.
JUSTICE EVANS: I make a motion we adjourn the public hearing until February 14, 2012 to
January 31, 2012 Page 35

allow for submission of further written comments and to redirect the Town Clerk to re-notice any
revisions to the proposed local law that may be made as results of comments made in the record
of this proceeding or otherwise directed by the Town Board.
Closing Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, that concludes that. Marie, please?
Marie Dominici, Mattituck
MARIE DOMENICI: Marie Domenici, Mattituck. I just wanted to follow up with the Board as
it relates to those no through trucking signs with weight over so much, two tons or whatever,
along Aldrich. Has there been any progress with that? I believe that last time I provided the
contact information of the gentleman that I spoke to at the DOT and I was wondering if, I mean
the last time that we spoke it was, the town can ....
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Yes, the Transportation Commission discussed it yesterday and
didn't feel it was appropriate to put no through trucking on Aldrich Lane. There was a couple of
reasons for it, if you do that, then you are sending, say for instance if you had a truck there that
was going to Harbes, they would have to go all the way down, can't go to Love Lane, we are just
trying to redirect traffic off of Factory Avenue, you end up having them go all the way down to
Wickham Avenue to come back to westerly points. That has always been more of a through
street for the truck traffic, bypass. I know that you don't like it particularly there but it is
actually one of the 'better roads to go through as opposed to Love Lane, Factory Avenue, Mill
Road when you are passing the tracks there. They didn't feel it was appropriate to put the signs
on there, no.
MS. DOMENICI: I mean did they take into consideration that because the signs have been up
for so long directing traffic down there, trucks that could literally stay on the Main Road don't
because they just innately turn down that road. So the point was just to redirect traffic as need
be, not to really stop the through traffic especially for deliveries whether to Harbes or you know,
to anyone on that streets. It was just kind of to say, listen guys, we took away the sign, pay
attention, you can drive straight through. That is the point.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: I think that most of the truck drivers are aware of that.
MS. DOMENICI: You think?
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Yes. I think they choose to drive down there. When you look at
the next four or five roads, are you going to go down Aldrich Lane or are you going to go down
Factory? You can't go down Love Lane, you would have to go down Wickham Avenue, Mill
Road or Elijah's Lane.
MS. DOMENICI: Because I think what ultimately what is also a concern aside from the safety
of the kids that live there but the road would have the wear and tear of heavy trucks and then
warrant more repair if indeed trucks were going where they needed to go when they needed to
January 31, 2012 Page 36
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
go. So that was the reason, the whole reason for redirecting that thru traffic. That was the whole
purpose.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, there is a good 10 or 12 people around that table that I
think they are very thoughtful, very fair and very deliberative in when they come to their
decisions. There are probably a good 10 or 12 on that committee I believe, right? And I guess
they determined it wasn't ....
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Well, they didn't think that it was beneficial. There are some
deliveries to be made up that way and truck traffic, if it is going out to the ferries, it is a good
road to go down.
MS. DOMENICI: Okay. Just wanted to follow up. Thanks for the information.
