Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What I would like to do before we start with the regular meeting, back on December 18'h of last year, we were saying goodbye and offering our thanks to a gentleman who served the people of Southold Town and in particular the people of Fishers Island so well for over 20 years as a member of the Planning Board. I want to briefly read the proclamation that we gave to Ken Edwards on that day "As the Supervisor and the Town Board of the Town of Southold wishes to pay tribute to Kenneth L. Edwards for his 28 years of service to the Southold Town Planning Board and whereas Kenneth was appointed to the Planning Board on December 4, 1984 bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience, eager to help plan for the future of his community and whereas prior to his appointment to the Planning Board, Kenneth served as a part time bay constable for Southold Town at Fishers Island from May 1974 to December 1982 and subsequently served as a member of Southold Town Fire Prevention Board of Review and the Fishers Island Hamlet study committee and whereas throughout his career for Southold Town, Kenneth has diligently worked to serve all residents and has become a part of the fabric of Southold Town government and will be sorely missed by the public and his coworkers, now therefore be it resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Southold extends their sincere appreciation and it's best wishes to Kenneth L. Edwards in all future endeavors." That was presented to Ken on December 18, 2012 from myself and the entire Town Board and we want to thank Ken so much for all his years of service. With the retirement of Ken, we were able to come over to Fishers Island and interview many qualified candidates for the position of Planning Board member. We selected Pierce Rafferty, who I want to introduce at this time. And I want to thank him for his willingness to come forward and serve this town. With that being said, I think we have a fairly light agenda, I am going to ask anybody from the public who wants to comment on the agenda to please feel free and come forward. All we ask is that you please speak into the microphone and state your name so that we have it for the public record, so that the Town Clerk's office can hear. The acoustics make it very difficult to transcribe the meetings. Who would like to address the Town Board on the agenda? (No response). V.

I„st Closing Comments Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: At this time, 1 want to take a few minutes to remind everyone that Southold Town is undertaking a comprehensive master plan. The master plan is not our document; it is not a document of the Town Board or even of the Planning Board. It is actually a community document. And we are going to encourage everybody to participate in the process as best you can through community sponsored meetings that are held here on Fishers Island, to go into the town's website looking for the links on the Planning Board web page, to give us your suggestions. The land use chapter is coming up, and that is where we can really make a difference. The land use chapter is where we can address many of the challenges that Fishers Island faces, those challenges are very not much different than what we arc facing on our side of the island right now and we need your input and we need your guidance. I want to let you know that the comprehensive plan team is your Planning Board along with director of Planning Heather Lanza, Town Attorney Martin Finnegan and special projects coordinator Philip Beltz and with that, if anybody wants to discuss that we are always available to discuss any aspect of that with you and at this time, I think I said what I had to say.... Justice Evans JUSTICE EVANS: Can 1 just say one thing? Looking around this room and I think some people have it or saw it posted, I think Heather is right there and she has more copies but it will be posted on the Fishers Island website and basically special appeals, the residents of Fishers Island, summer, winter, to partake in this land use chapter or in all of the chapters but it gives you a reason of why you should be, it tells you how you can and what the comprehensive plan is all about so I urge you either to get the hard copy or look it up on the Fishers Island website. It will be posted there soon. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: With that, I will open up the meeting for anyone that would like to address the Town Board on any issue. Katherine Sanger KATHERINE SANGER: I am Katherine Sanger from Fishers Island New York. Was the issue of the sidewalk from here in town up to the gatehouse ever addressed? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are trying to address it. There is, it is an ongoing issue of where to locate it. We actually have a survey that shows that the original intended location for that bike path would fall on Navy property. We need to secure assistance from the Navy. I just had a tour with Peter to look at the sight. That is a work in progress. We are trying to get all of that work done. Unfortunately at this point, we can't move forward until we know exactly what we are Page 9 AuUust 7. 201 Southold town Board Board Meeting building and where we are building it and secure what types of device we might need to do that. Easements. mti understanding was that that stuff is all being worked on. MS. SANGER: Is that property in question only that Navy property. is the rest fairly straightforward? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, it's. Lill forttmately if you look at the survey, it is not as straightforward as it might seem. There are issues with regard to our road and the fact that our road may or may not be encroaching on Navy property. All those soft issues. all those title issues need to be resolved. MS. SANGER: But between here and the school and up to the Navy property, is that fairly straightforward or is that in question as well`? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Most of what we have been focusing on is that corridor right along Navy property. Justice Evans JUSTICE EVANS: It is also a question of dollars. MS. SANGER: Really? Thank you very much. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I just want to assure all of you, we have sidewalk needs throughout the entire town, there is no doubt about it. It does get to be an expensive proposition. We did a few years ago some work here that we created quite a few sidewalks here on Fishers Island, more than just about any other hamlet in Town. We are trying but there is some work that has got to be done, there is no doubt about it. Would anybody else like to address the Town Board? (No response) Well, I guess we will adjourn the meeting but we will still be here if you want to come up to us and ask any questions.
