SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This is a hearing a on a proposed "Local Law in Relation
to Zoning", concerning hotel guest unit. The official notice to read by Councilman
Penny.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: "Public Notice is hereby given that there has been presented
to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, on the
11th day of April', 1989, a Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in Relation to Zoning".
Notice is 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, Main Road,
Southold, New York, on the 23rd day of May, 1989, at 3:30 o'clock P.M., at which
time all interested persons will be heard.
This proposed "Local Law in Relation to Zoning" 'reads as follows, to wit:
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. Chapter 100 (Zoning) of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby
amended as follows:
1. Section 100-61.B(4) is hereby amended by adding thereto a new

Copies of this Local Law are available in the office of the Town Clerk to
any interested persons during business hours. Dated: May 9, 1989. Judith T.
Terry, Southold Town Clerk."
I have an affidavit of publication from the Traveler-Watchman, a like affidavit from
the Suffolk Times. I have an affidavit of posting from the Town Clerk, that this
was posted on the Town Bulletin Board in the proper fashion. I have the following
communications. The Planning Board Office sent a letter to the Town of Southold,
"Deal' Mrs. Terry, The following action was taken by the Southold Town Planning
Board on Monday, May 1, 1989. Resolved that the Southold Town Planning Board
recommend to the Town Board that they adopt the above .mentioned proposed Local
Law. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Very truly yours, Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Chairman." From the Department of
Plannincl, Suffolk County. Gentlemen, Pursuant to the requirements of Section
A14-14t~2'3of the Suffolk County Administ.-ative Code, the above referenced applica-
tion, which had been submitted to the Suffolk County Planning Commission is con-
sidered to be a matter for local determination. A decision of local determination
should not be construed as either an approval or disapproval. Very truly yours,
Arthur H. Kunz, Director of Planning." We have a communication addressed to
'Pg 2 - Public hearing, L[.~.~.~ relation to Zoning, hotel
gue:~,,
the Town of Southold. "Dear Mr. Murphy, With regard to the proposed Local Law
in Relation to Zoning, hotel guest units, I would like to make the following observa-
tions. 1. The creation of a 600 square foot maximum size unit will create less
equality in resort residential district units as it is proposed. A. This sizing of
units precludes the design of suite accom~dations now being soug~_~ in. the hotel indu_S_try.
This would pos~bly eliminate a first-class hotel operation from Southold Town. B.
The amendment fails to state as whether this proposed requirement size is to be
a maximum per unit, or an average for a maximum for the project. C. As this
use is al. ready by special exception, each project should be sized as to area by
the Zoning Board of Appeals to keep the project in relation to the surrounding
neighborhood. D. From a practical standpoint have you ever considered a tourist
with children, being on vacation, in a 600 square foot area? Thank you for your
consideration. SincerHly,Henry E. Raynor, Jr." There are no further communica-
tions.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. You've heard the official reading
of the notice of this proposed Local Law. Is there anyone in the audience, who
would like to speak in favor of this proposed Local Law? (No response.) Anyone
like to speak in opposition?
GEORGE WETMORE: Good afternoon, Mr. Supervisor and Councilman,: Councilwoman.
I have come before the Town Board, today, in opposition to this ruling, or law,
whatever you want to call it. I'm curious as to who thought it up. However, the
well intentions attain the goals that you're seeking. I don't know if any of you
follow the Resort Trade. This is a trade magazine, and guess who's the big trader
on the front cover here.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Mr. Trump.
GEORGE WETMORE: And right down here in the left hand corner, it says all suites,
today's most dynamic segments in the industry. Ruth had made a remark the other
night at the Code Committee, that, well, look at that North Fork Beach Motel. They're
not doing any business anymore. You know, you got rooms there and everything.
Ruth, that motel's thirty-five years old. Has no .amenities, and it's just a little
box, the people have to stay. That's why they're not coming. People demand
luxury today, and they're willing to pay for it. I have run the Dering Harbor
Inn. I have run Beachcomber Motel. I have run the North Fork Beach Condominiums.
I've, also, run other condominiums and co-ops, and I know if you want to know
what would protect yourself from having residents, you should have asked us in
the trade. We know the tricks of the trade. We know the games that are played. We
know how to restrict it through prospective rules and through Town conditional
CO's. You'd accomplish anything up to 840 square foot, because a
drawing of it. You could do it that way, administratively. Very easily, and still
have a luxurious unit and a beautiful resort, and I'm talking about swimming pools,
tennis courts and the ~.menities that go along with a first class operation. The
Chamber has felt very strongly, and I do speak for the Chamber of Commerce,
today. I am it's vice-president, and that's the Greenport-Southold Chamber, but
we feel very strongly, we've been shortchanged. The Master Plan studied the
past objective of fishing, farming, and tourism. Fishing is practically down the
tubes. Farming is on it's way. What are you going to do? Kill the tourists, too?
Everybody might just as well fold up shop, and go south like everybody else. We
try to hang on out here. Now I represent 200 plus of the better businesses in
these two little towns out here, and we are very upset. We like to see a first-class
operation run a first-class way. I'm quite beside myself, again, that we weren't
Pg 3 - Public hearing, LI:ii~'.'? relation to Zoning, hotel
consulted in the industries, because we think that we could give you the policies
that would make it work. Size has nothing to do with use. It never did. Basically,
if you're dealing with an individually owned unit, you're dealing with a management
company, and they don't want to see that guy in theKe, because they aren't getting
any income out of it, so they're going to be blowing the whistle just as a fast as
anybody else. Also, you haven't studied this law? What it's economic impacts are?
I know of two proposals before the Planning Board, probably worth about $80,000,000.
in resorts to the Town. You cut the room size down, you cut the room rents down,
you reduce 80,000,000,down to 50,000,000 causing a $30,000,'000.00 loss. Somebody's
going to have to make that up, because those applications are actually in front
of the Planning Board. Income? Right now they run about $20,000.00 a year for
a one bedroom, and $30,000.00 for an all suite two bedroom. To start, and that's
not with occupancy. We're talking occupancy with ten to twelve weeks
during the summer, and weekends in the fall. Now these resorts, we hope 'will
draw into the late fall and winter.to build those seasons, which we so desperately
need out here. Everybody needs it when the roads are jammed for ten weeks,
and glad to see them go home. So am I. But, we need that extended season, parti-
cularly into the fall, and I for one, and the directors, don't know why you're doing
this, because if you had come to us, we would have worked with you, and shown
you how you could have done it, because you're killing the family vacationer by
sizing down the rooms. That is the biggest secret today, to keep the narrow room,
and narrow over here, and they're willing to pay 250 bucks a night for it on a
weekend. During the week, no. You get about $195. Now we have gotten those
rates. I've gotten $265.00 a night, and those rooms are about 1,000 square feet.
However, Southold has a contingency where they deal with 850 they are considered
You can respect that by staying just under. I would recommend that
this law be voted down for several reasons. Number 1, why was it brought up?
What violations have been brought to you as a Board? Who was using their units
right now as a drawing room? Have you had any complaints? If you don't, don't
fix it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George, I think this was left 'out when the Master Plan
was adopted.
GEORGE WETMORE: I sat there with Stoutenburgh on the Mls and the M2s when
originally it was just marine zone. We went through this whole nine yards, and
those were not put in specifically for the idea of a luxurious resort. We've
only got about five sites in town where we can do that. Some are still subject
to their own sewage treatment approval by the Board of Health, the DEC and so
forth, so they could be twenty years down the road. So we have two sites right
now that could, could result probably in the next five to ten years, if they ever
get approved. The fact that we need it desperately. The taxes are going up.
You throw that assessment on the tax rolls, and it would help, without adding
to the school usage and what have you. These people are non-residents. There
are other people talking about taking motels off the waterfront. This is the dumbest
thing I ever heard in my life. Our whole draw has been the water. That's why
people come out here, to enjoy the clean water, and d--- it, I'm for clean water.
I want to see it stay that way, but there are treatment systems today, and that's
why I'm pushing for a more luxurious resort, because I know they would spend
the money for the better systems, rather than have a-down side system dealing
with cesspools, dealing with leaching problems and everything else. People are
I~g 4 - Public Hearing LL .... 'relation to Zoning, hotel guest.,,.,,
not going to come out here to watch the potatoes grow. No way. So you're going
to kill, and that's the only thing we have left. Fishing is dead. What little bit
we do have come in. The other thing is more density. No more density there
is no economical development. You want to go with that. We only need four or
five hundred rooms, maybe eight hundred tops, and that's over ten or fifteen years.
'own from nothing built that I know for thirty years. New. There's been a couple
of proposals, a couple of maps approved, but nothing new. Today's market, you
need a luxury product, houses for year round. Atleast we could get mini-conventions.
You got Connecticut accross the way. New York City now, forget it. That's a
pain in the neck with the LIE. We'll get some. But it is there. The trade is
there. They just need a source point to come to, and then the local merchants
will be able to pay their taxes, rather than hang on by their finger nails. We
ask you as a Chamber of Commerce, to vote this down. Please consult with us.
Let's go over it. We'll show you how to do it administratively, and you'll accom-
plish more doing it administratively, than sizing rooms. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Anyone else like to address the Town
Board to speak in opposition to this proposed Local Law? (No response.) Any
Town Board members have any comment?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Somebody left me, today, a copy of an article by the hotel
planning and design by Walter A. Rutes, FAIA, I imagine that's a form of architect.
A guide for architects, interior designers, and hotel executives. It addresses
some of the concern that ~ere raised by the gentleman that just spoke, and, also,
by the letter that we got by Henry Raynor in this regard. It addresses particularly
the mood of the industry and the mood of the people going toward this suite complex,
and it gives some comparative of how things are going to change, and what is
required for a suite, and I won't read the whole thing, because it's several pages
long, but I'd like to read some of the highlights. Therefore while the typical suite
is only 40% greater in area than the single room, which they designate the single
room as 475 square feet. But if you take 475, and add 40% to that, that comes
out to 665 square feet. Compared with a standard king-size room with'a hideabed
sofa, the two-room suite requires only a few additions, the most expensive being
an extra TV. Other compensating savings are in the reduced public and service
areas discussed below. The typical suite unit consists of a separate bedroom, bath-
room, living/dining room with a wet bar, and occasionally,, and I want to underline
that occasionally because I'm not recommending kitchenettes. But few guests use
the kitchenette, which requires extra space, expensive equipments, and related
mechanical costs. Therefore, except for larger two and three-bedroom units, which
are designed for longer-term relocated families, the kitchenette has not proved
cost effective. It has benerally been replaced by a wet bar, with a counter sink,
glass cabinet, mini-refrigerator and coffee maker, normally built into the wall unit
or credenza in the dining area close to the plumbing riser for economy. Then
it goes in further. Trends. The public has been impressed with the freshness
of the all-suite concept and the distinctive prototypes that have appeared. Improve-
ments will continue in this relatively new and maturing hotel type. The living/dining
room will be further developed to accommodate a flexible variety of features such
as computers, business equipment, exercising machines, folding wall beds, and
housekeeping facilities for the convenience of business groups, families and other
guests. Suites will continue to gain popularity among business women, who prefer
to have their beds out of sight during in-room meetings. The elderly will also
respond to the advantages of suites since they generally spend more time in their
hotel rooms. By the end of the century, it is estimated that a considerable proportion
of single rooms will be converted to suites. Furthermore, a tremendous spurt in
~g 4 - Public Hearing LL! relation to Zoning, hotel guest,,,,~,"
new hotel construction can be forecast in order to replenish the reduced room supply
caused by conversion of suites. Just as Club Med is identified with vacation villages
and Harrah's with casino hotels the tendency to establish separate chains of suite-
hotels will continue. Out-competing single room hotels, suite hotel facilities and
space requirements will vary according to subtypes such as downtown, suburban,
airport, luxury, resort, residential, and in seeming contradiction, a suite motel.
Designed for price/value conscious guests mainly interested in good basic room
but without many other amenities, this could become the most innovative suite type
of all. After reading this, and hearing the comments here and the letters and
other comments that I've received from people in the last couple of weeks on this,
knowing that this was coming, I would like to see more study to be done by the
Town Board on this. I have to agree with George Wetmore, when he says that
we're not expert in this field. We have brought experts in to regard other issues,
such as zoning, we've consulted with attorneys, and with other people in the area
to help us in these areas, because the Town Board does not have that overall
expertise in every area that we deal with. I would like to see as we have with
the marina problems, not the marina problems, but the marina projects that have
been discussed in front of the Code Committee. That we invite these people in
and let them give us some first-hand information and documentation, because I
feel that this is lacking, and before we go and restrict something, and cut off
our nose to spite our faces. If we're going to encourage tourism out here, let's
encourage tourism and do it realisticly. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Any other Town Board members have
any comments?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN. Yes. I'd like to make a brief comment. Thank you,
Frank. First of all, the economy, Mr. Wetmore, your reference to $265. per night.
I think only about 18% of the population overall falls into the luxury rate. Many
people that come to the North Fork are families, working class people. I'd like
to accommodate the luxury people. There probably is a need for it to a certain
extent. If you have money, you're rolling your fingers together, but I'd like to
think that the middle class has been and always will be the backbone of the United
States of America, and it's getting more and more difficult for middle class families
to afford these vacations. We have a lot of second home owners out here, and
we, also, have a lot of visitors who come for a night or two, and would like over-
night accommodations and 475 feet is probably quite adequate to handle your average
tourist. He said that people don't come out to the North Fork to watch the potatoes
grow. Well, I happen to think that the potatoe farmers are one of the most wonderful
assets that we have on the North Fork. You say that the fishing industry has
gone down the tubes totally. Well, you don't know what's going to happen after
the brown tide. I remember having conversations with you in the past, where
you told me, Ellen, you want me to show you how high density on waterfront doesn't
pollute. I'll take you to Ocean City, Maryland, where they have condominiums,
eighty-'five tall, and the beach is beautiful. Since then I have gone to Ocean City,
Maryland, and I would never want to see Southold Town look like that. I don't
think the majority of the people that live here would want to see Southold Town
look like that. Also, on motel units you're only allowed, I believe it's 30% lot cover-
age for the unit, so it would be advantageous in my opinion to get as many units
in as possible to accommodate the people who come out here who are day trippers.
We get a lot of people from Suffolk County, Nassau County (tape change) opened
with the ZBA as far as square footage, but they certainly go and allow 800 square
feet. That's the size of a house almost. A vacation home is 800 square feet. So,
hopefully, we can find something somewhere in the medium. I think that's all I
want to say. I don't know about the Hilton Hotel in Hauppauge. I'm sure they
have very small rooms in there, but we're not going to be accommodating business
?g 5 - Public Hearing LL ,~, relation to Zoning, hotel gues~
woman, who are out here for conferences. This is a vacation area. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Anyone else like to make a comment?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: The only comment I would like to make in reference
to 18%, and only for the wealthy, I disagree with this fact. It's a well known
fact from a federal level, one of the things that is keeping our economy up is the
recreation dollar that is being spent across the United States. There are many,
many people, if you want to use the term, quote middle class, who are spending
their money. Money is not exactly an issue on vacations and spending. When
I was down in Disney World, I don't think there's any place in the world that can
be as expensive as Disney World here in Florida, and you saw people of all levels,
and it's quite easy to assess individuals in relation to their way of dress and
different things. You can be wrong, but a general overall view. I think that
we've been need of hotel units for quite some time. Yes, we have. I don't debate
that. The size, you've given me some food for thought. I know approximately
what 600 square works out to and in my mind, hey, that's a pretty good size
room, but the way motels nowadays are changing, if they are here there are people
that would utilize them, not only for vacations, but also for conferences. I'd
also agree, if it's there, you will have business woman use them. You will have
businessmen. You will have small meetings. You see more and more in your hotels,
areas built for the small meeting in addition to the bedroom, so I've mixed feelings
on it, George. I do, but my mind certainly is open, and I would like to see more
study done on it. I think it needs more looking at.
GEORGE WETMORE: In relationship to what Ellen said, see we have a lot of little
rooms out there now. We need a couple of really 'nice places to draw them, and
then if they want to come back on their own, or whatever, or with someone else,
they have the smaller ones, the cheaper ones. And secondly, in the off season,
no, it's not too good for a night. Let's say if it was a one bedroom suite or a
two bedroom suite, they do go broke. But a two bedroom suite in the off-season
will probably be about $145.00, and a one bedroom would be about $105.00. If
you had a motel room, it would be $65.00.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: I think it's a successful operation is a combination of
all of it, not...
GEORGE WETMORE: Well, you see we have the older little units, and they are
much cheaper. I think Jack gets one hundred bucks a night, even in the middle
of the summer, so that's always available. That's the same size, I believe as the
North Fork. They're very small rooms. Not the bigger ones, that he built down
the road.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: No,the motel itself. The long ones.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Soundview. First of all, he requires two nights and
I think they're $150 to $160 a night.
GEORGE WETMORE: Yeah, he..that's before list last year. He never had vacancies,
so he had it up there, and we were actually getting his overflow. But last year
was the first time he ever had vacancies. That's why he can demand a two night
miniumum, because he was guaranteed to fill up. This year, hopefully, although
we never had a medical waste problem out here, and we slandered by the westender,
and lost a h--- of a lot of trade. I think you understand the objective of what
has to happen. We have to have three to five really nice resorts, and then ti~
afterstructure that's already here will renevate to some extent, upgrade their units,
~g 6 - Public Hearing LL ~=,.relation to Zoning, hotel guest.~-,I
and everything will grow together, not massively, just on a limited basis, but it
will be enough to help the local economy survive, and right now the local economy
is putso.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: It's not good.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Is there anyone else who would like
to address?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Just one further comment. This article also, relates suite
unit area standards in square feet, and they address moderate at 475, upscale
at 590, and deluxe at 700. So there is a range established by the industry, and
probably we could address that range, and not limit it to any one size. My second
comment would be is that in the supportive work that was done in the background
of the Master Plan one of the goals of the Master Plan was to promote industry
out here particularly in the tourist area. What can we do to encourage it year
round? Now you can't expect people to be coming out here to go snowmobiling
because we don't have anything like that to attract them in the winter. The idea
was to try to attract businesses so maybe we could have small convention areas,
and business seminars out here in a very rural setting. This would help in these
areas, because units could be tailored to the convention center type approach, and
bring people out here, and I think by limiting them to severely at this time, I think
we're going to lose that, and that was one of the goals in the Master Plan. Thank
you.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: George, as we discussed this at length, I think, at Commerce
and Industry Committee, last Wednesday night, just how will we keep the peoole
here, and why would they come in the fall. arid the winter. We were looking at-
'different things, that we codli:l.do~: so haYe an open mind.
GEORGE WETMORE: Basically in the fall and winter, you know its the peace and
tranquility, and just getting away from the rat race. It's beautiful sitting there
and just looking over the water, and the Sound always changes. It's never the
same, and getting to what George says, you may have one fellow for an all suite
and they would be up to 750 square feet. Who knows, or basically competition
demands size. The other thing is sometimes the build a combination of one bedroom
and two bedrooms. Usually it's recommended that 30% of them be one bedroom, so
you go from that.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, anyone else like to comment on this proposed Local
Law? (No response.) I'll close the public hearing.
