Justice Louis Demarest

Councilman James H. Rich, Jr.
Councilman James F. Homart
Supervisor: The purpose of this public hearing is to amend one
of the Town Ordinances, the Peddlers and Soliciting Ordinance; the
notice will be read by Councilman Homan.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that proposed Local Law No. - 1976, entitled
"A Local Law to amend Chapter 69 of the Code of the Town of Southold
in r~ation to Peddling and Soliciting," was introduced at a
meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Southold held on the

an established place of business within the town, or their

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that a public hearing with respect to

JUDITH T. TERRY, TOWN CLERK
I have proof of publication in the Long Island Traveler-Mattituck
Watchman signed by Sherley Katz and I have proof of publication
in the Suffolk Weekly Times signed by Stuart Dorman. I have an
affidavit that this was posted on the bulletin board in the Town
Clerk's Office.
Supervisor: For a point of explanation, we don't give a n~nber to
a local law. It's not a local law until it is adopted. Then,
when it is adopted, it is slotted in with the next number which
takes place in the given year which is 1976. Then, it gets a
number assigned to it. We have some pending that we haven't made
decisions on and the one that gets approved first gets the next
number. You have heard the notice for the amendment of the
Peddlers and Solicitors Ordinance, proof of publication in the
two local papers, the Traveler the official paper and the alternate
paper, the posting in the Town Clerk's Office. At this time, if
anyone would like to speak on the subject, it is open.
PEDDLING AND SOLICI%mNG -2- Nov=mber 23, 1976
Peter Nathanson: Am I to understand that what you are going to
do is this one section here that merchants have an established
business, is it to delete this one thing from the exemption list
under the local law?
Supervisor: It seems that we were confronted this past summer
with a loophole. They usually show up eventually. I have to
remember this a little bit. As it works now, if you have a base
of operation in the township, then these trucks can go around
and do not have to have a permit. We want to adjust ~e two, it's
o.k. to have a base of operation, that's o.k. not to have a
permit. We want to enclose in there that it covers everything,
that that same peddler has to meet all the other conditions of
the ordinance, such as what time you have to start in the morning.
You cannot start before a certain time. Quit at a certain time.
Meet all the other regulations of that ordinance. The only thing
you are going to be excluded from is not have to have a permit.
That's the basis of the thinking because he might think he's
exempt all the way. We want to make it very clear that he has
to meet all the other~quirements of a licensed peddler such as
starting and quitting time and all the other regulations with it.
Mr. Nathanson: There's one thing in there. It says in the law
that certain persons or vehicles aren't allowed to stay in one
location for more than ten minutes.
Supervisor: That's correct.
Mr. Nathanson: What is their definition of one location? How
big an area does this encompass?
Supervisor: Any place at all, they can stay no longer than 10
minutes. They can't make that a base of operations. They can
sell a few things and then move on. Some people, some peddlers
will go to a place a stay two hours.
Mr. Nathanson: Would this requirement to move, well, you say
I will move five feet and stop again.
Supervisor: You could do that to the police once in awhile.
They know when to crowd you and when not to crowd you.
Mr. Nathanson: Would it be possible at this time to put some-
thing else in along with this amendment?
Supervisor: Not today. You can come at a later time. There
are always amendments that could be considered.
Mr. Nathanson: I thought as long as you were working on this
one particular section of the code.
Supervisor: Give them to us in writing, we'll give them to
our attorney to research and see how they fit in with the general
pattern. Anyone else?
PEDDLING AND SOLICITmNG -3- November 23, 1976
William Pell IV: Down at Gull Pond, when the truck £irst
arrives there, it takes ten minutes on a good weekend to get up
the line. If the guy has to move at the end of ten minutes,
people at the end of the line still won't get served.
Supervisor: What is happening, as an example Rocky Point Road,
it's a residential area, Rocky Point Road, and they'll go to work
and park in somebody's yard and stay there practically all a£ter-
noon. There might be a colony o£ people and that is not a zoned
business area or recreational site. If they want to go into Gull
Pond, there's no problem. They can stay.
Mr. Pell: They can stay as long as they want.
Supervisor: There are certain residential areas, off the road,
onto their property, these people condone it. Maybe, they get
free ice cream, I don't know, but the point is this is the thing
we are trying to avoid. If he wants to set up a shop, let him
set up shop in a business area.
M~. Nathanson: If this particular vehicle is off a state highway
and it has to be private property, does that private property
have to be a business-zoned property?
Supervisor: That's right or else the Building Department goes
after them, which we did do this summer. We had quite a bit of
problem with one person this summer and we had to go quite a ways
to erradicate that problem.
Mr. Pell: But at Gull Pond, he would be safe there. Like the
ballfield at night, can he stay?
Supervisor: That's the Village of Greenport. They have
jurisdiction there. Does anyone else have any discussion on this
proposed amendment supporting it. Anyone opposed to this amend-
ment? Anyone wanting discussion on this particular amendment?
Hearing none, the hearing will be closed and the Board will make
a decision in the near future. Thank you very much.
Respectfully submitted,
Mur'i(~t Brush, Secretary
