Comment regarding resolution 627
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I would like to say to the Sidor family,thank you. Melissa pointed
out on the map, if you are not familiar with the area, it's just a picture on the map. If you are
familiar with the area, you know the importance of that parcel and how it fits into the
surrounding agricultural community. I remember, I guess it would be Martin Sidor, Sr., which
would be Mr. Sidor in the audience's grandfather working that land. Melissa pointed out, again,
about the soil. Some of the finest soils on the north fork and again, I would say thank you and I
vote aye.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I also want to thank the Sidor family. I see some of the members
sitting there in the audience. This is a piece that has been long sought after by the Town. Thank
you very much for your willingness to work with us. I vote yes.

COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN RESOLVED that pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 17 (Community Preservation Fund) and Chapter 70 (Agricultural Lands)
of the Town Code, the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby sets Tuesday,July 15,
2014, at 4:32 p.m., Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold,New York as the time
and place for a public hearing for the purchase of a development rights easement on
Property owned by Martin Sidor, Robert Sidor, Diane Regeness and Joanne Kraebel. Said
property is identified as SCTM #1000-100.-4-4. The address is 2010 Oregon Road in Mattituck.
The property is located in the A-C zoning district and lies between Oregon Road and Wickham
Avenue in Mattituck,New York. The proposed acquisition is for a development rights easement
on a part of the property consisting of approximately 53.9± acres (subject to survey) of the 6 1.1
acre farm parcel.
The exact area of the acquisition is subject to a Town-provided survey acceptable to the Land
Preservation Committee and the property owners. The easement will be acquired using
Community Preservation Funds. This project may be eligible for partial funding from an
awarded grant from the United States Department of Agriculture -Natural Resources
Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS). The purchase price is $65,000 (sixty-five thousand
dollars)per buildable acre for the 53.9± acre easement plus acquisition costs.
The property is listed on the Town's Community Preservation Project Plan as property that
should be preserved due to its agricultural value.
I do have an affidavit that it was posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin board, I have a copy of that
here. I have a copy of the printed legal notice in the Suffolk Times for this hearing and I have a
memorandum from the LWRP coordinator, Mark Terry and it is his recommendation that the
proposed action is consistent with the policy standards and therefore is consistent with the
LWRP.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment on this particular public hearing?

Melissa Spiro, Land Preservation Coordinator
July 15, 2014 Page 24
Southold Town Board Meeting
MELISSA SPIRO, LAND PRESERVATION COORDINATOR: Melissa Spiro. The
landowners have offered a development rights easement on just under 54 acres of land. The two
areas that have been excluded from the easement, one up on the north side that's about 5 acres
and it has the potential to be subdivided for one additional residential lot. There's another on the
south side that's about 2.6 acres down by Wickham Avenue. The project not only meets but
exceeds the goals of the town's preservation program. The landowners are preserving over 88%
of the farm. The soils are all prime agricultural soils with all in active agricultural production.
Preservation of the farm completes a large block of preserved farmland, over 180 acres from
Oregon Road south over to Wickham Avenue and from Mill Lane east to Elijah's Lane. There's
a whole block of preserved land. The preserved active farmland that spans outside that block to
the north to the south and to the east and the west, if you look at that map every farm that has a
white label on it, it's preserved. So it really expands the block. The town was awarded a grant
for the project under the federal farm and ranchland protection program in the amount of
$1,898,000. Assuming the project is eligible, we will receive reimbursement of that amount.
That will allow us to leverage our preservation funding and allow us to preserve more farmland
once we receive that reimbursement. I thank the landowners for offering this farm for
preservation and I am glad that our program is here to help farm families stay in the business of
farming. Both the Land Preservation Committee and I strongly support this and we hope that the
Town Board proceeds with this purchase. Thank you.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That concludes the business of the agenda, I would invite anybody
that would like to come up and address the Town Board on any issue to please feel free? Any
issue.
Jill Franke, Southold
JILL FRANKE: Jill Franke, Southold. At the last July 1, meeting you had created the position
of the Justice Court director and you said you had two affirmative responses when you raised the
salary from $63,000 to $80,000. You said that the people did not have qualifications at the
municipal level to work to run the court as a director. How do you decide that because civil
service qualifies them to take an exam?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are looking, it's a managerial, supervisory role. We have the,
not just the right, but the responsibility to establish criteria that we are looking from applicants
for that position. You know, this is, I am in a difficult situation now Jill because you had FOIL'd
for the list of specific names, we gave you that list and I am not going to sit here and talk about
the qualifications or the credentials of people that we reviewed in the past.
July 15, 2014 Page 25
Southold Town Board Meeting
MS. FRANKE: No, you had said at the meeting when Mrs. Goldsmith asked you that you
believe that you had two responses, two affirmative responses to interview and that they didn't
have the qualifications in the municipal level to work, to run a justice court as a director.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. But again, now you are asking me to comment on specific
people that are already been put into public realm but in our review, we are allowed to establish
criteria for what we are looking for in a position. We have every right to, we have a
responsibility to do that.
MS. FRANK: Well, if they are qualified to take the civil service test I would think that they
would be qualified for the position, isn't that what the civil service test is for?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, it establishes baseline qualifications but I think we have a
responsibility to look beyond that, we have the right to look for credentials that we think will,
our needs are for that position. We have no obligation to use the civil service minimum
guidelines as the standard. I think that would be irresponsible.
MS. FRANKE: So you can appoint anyone who you want in there provisionally?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, we still have to hire off the civil service list. What they gave us
was a list of people who showed a willingness to work in zone 1. The list has not been
established yet, I don't believe the scores are even out. They had given us a list of the people
that had expressed a willingness to work in zone 1 which is Southold. We would still have to go
through the list, we are still going to have to hire from that list. At any time, if the entire list of
Suffolk County is declared unworkable, we could hire provisionally. It is a very unlikely
scenario. Many, many people sign up to take those tests.
MS. FRANKE: Civil service told me 71 people signed up to take that specific test, 16 of them
were qualified to take that test. Out of that 16, you don't know how many passed yet or
whatever, it's not out yet. And starting the salary at $80,000, I am assuming that does not
include medical benefits for family or individual?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think it's a full-time position that would eventually include
medical benefits. I think there is a 90 day wait window right now, I am not certain because of
how Obamacare might have affected that but generally there is a 90 day wait for medical benefits
by any new employee.
MS. FRANKE: Okay and you also said that it has to be a comparable position with other towns
and....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, what I said is the salary, we have looked at the salaries of other
towns and we think $80,000 was a level we needed to get to. Based on the salaries of people
who are working as court directors in other towns. We have canvassed the landscape.
July 15, 2014 Page 26
Southold Town Board Meeting
MS. FRANKE: Well, I also looked and I found the Riverhead justice court director is making
$66,292.94, so that's a big jump from $80,000. The justice court director in the town of East
Hampton is making $59,771. The village of Westhampton, the court director is making
$44,924.95 and the town of Southampton does not have a justice court director but they have
senior justice court clerks and they have cashiers and their salaries are in the $40's and $50,000.
So $80,000 is an awful lot of money to start a position that my mother did for 52 years for less
than $60,000.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on any issue?
Linda Goldsmith,East Marion
LINDA GOLDSMITH: Linda Goldsmith. I just wanted you to be cognizant of the fact that
agriculture is booming in East Marion. In the last three weekends, the Lavender farm traffic has
parked all the way down the road. I frankly have no objection to it, it's a short season but just be
cognizant of the fact that you may get some complaints because when I say that it was lined up,
it was lined from the end of Shipyard Lane all the way to the beginning by Bay Avenue on both
sides of the road. I mean, honestly, it is a shore season. You see it at Harbes, you know, but
parking may at some point because of the ferry there is no other place for the traffic to go. You
may at some point getting complaints and you might want to be ready for that and maybe ready
to work with the owner on some sort of short term solution. I personally don't have a problem
with it. You know, I think it is kind of nice that somebody that takes a shot at growing lavender
and who really thinks that that's going to be a big cash crop? It's nice to see that they are
making a living out of it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. The, we have already received quite a few on the traffic.
We have referred them to the Planning Board. I am sure Planning will work with the
Transportation Commission to try to bring some resolution there. Thank you.
Councilman Bob Ghosio
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: A lot of the complaints that I have heard with living out there, have
been to that tenant. Where you know, I am complaining about it but you know, it's actually not a
bad thing so you know, they are recognizing the fact that it is good that we have a business
thriving out there.
