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?
