COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town
of Southold hereby sets Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 4:34 p.m., Southold Town Hall, 53095
Route 25, Southold, New York, as the time and place for a public hearing on the question of
acquisition by gift of fee title to vacant land totaling 16.343± acres from The Nature
Conservancy, the owner of record, for open space preservation purposes in accordance with
Chapter 185 (Open Space Preservation) of the Town Code of the Town of Southold.
The parcel, identified as SCTM #1000-14.-2-1.4 and known as the Whitcom Marsh Preserve, is
located at 650 Mulford Court, running along the westerly side of Mulford Court in Orient, New
York, in the R-80 zoning district. The parcel was created in a subdivision known as Whitcom
Investment Company approved by the Planning Board in 1980. The parcel, known as the fifth lot
of the subdivision, was considered unbuildable fresh water marsh and the Planning Board's
approval required restrictive covenants pertaining to this parcel that resulted in the property
being transferred to The Nature Conservancy. The parcel is shown in the Town's Community
Preservation Project Plan as property that is currently preserved due to the restrictions required
as part of the subdivision approval. The restrictions require that the property shall forever be held
as a nature preserve for educational and charitable purposes, and shall be kept entirely in its
natural state, excepting only the maintenance of such fences and foot trails as may be appropriate
to effectuate the foregoing purposes without impairing the essential natural character of the
premises.
This property has been offered to the Town of Southold as a donation from The Nature
Conservancy. The Town will be responsible for any acquisition costs associated with the transfer
of fee title.

FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned
parcel of land is on file in the Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375
Main Road (Route 25), Southold, New York, and may be examined by any interested person
during business hours.
I have before me a sworn affidavit of posting on the Town Clerk's bulletin board and an affidavit
of publication in the Suffolk Times newspaper noticing this.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who would like to address the Town Board on this particular local
law?
MELISSA SPIRO, LAND PRESERVATION COORDINATOR: Melissa Spiro, Land
Preservation Coordinator. As Councilman Ghosio said, the property it already preserved and this
hearing involves a transfer of property from the Nature Conservancy to the Town of Southold.
The property contains a significant amount of wetlands. I hope you can see on the aerial map,
this wetland is part of a much larger system that continues across the street and is protected
already protected within a large block of state owned open space. The town intends to continue
to steward the property in the same manner, which is to remain in its natural state. Since the
property is already preserved, it is technically not on our Community Preservation Plan, so the
town is accepting this donation in accordance with our general open space program. The
committee supports accepting this and recommends that the Town Board proceed with it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on this public
hearing? (No response)

located at 650 Mulford Court, running along the westerly side of Mulford Court in Orient, New
York, in the R-80 zoning district. The parcel was created in a subdivision known as Whitcom
Investment Company approved by the Planning Board in 1980. The parcel, known as the fifth lot
of the subdivision, was considered unbuildable fresh water marsh and the Planning Board's
approval required restrictive covenants pertaining to this parcel that resulted in the property
being transferred to The Nature Conservancy. The parcel is shown in the Town's Community
Preservation Project Plan as property that is currently preserved due to the restrictions required
as part of the subdivision approval. The restrictions require that the property shall forever be held
as a nature preserve for educational and charitable purposes, and shall be kept entirely in its
natural state, excepting only the maintenance of such fences and foot trails as may be appropriate
to effectuate the foregoing purposes without impairing the essential natural character of the
premises.
This property has been offered to the Town of Southold as a donation from The Nature
Conservancy. The Town will be responsible for any acquisition costs associated with the transfer
• of fee title.
FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned
parcel of land is on file in the Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375
