[ have an affidavit that says it was published in The Suffolk T~rnes, and it was posted on the Town Clerk's pg 5 - PH Bulletin Board, and there is some correspondence from the Department of Planning County of Suffolk.

Signed by Stephen M. Jones, Director of letter from the Planning Board in reference to and the Farm Stands, so I will only read the of the County of as SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there anyone who would like to talk either p.ro or .c. on on this "Local Law in Relation to the Southold Town Farmers Bill of R~ght"? Yes, sir? ALFONSE MARASEL: My name is Alfonse Marasel. I would like to questi:on about this Farmers Bil of Rights. It is necessary to establish the nature of the farming activity to future neighbors of farmland activities, presumed to be good agricultural practices, and presume not to adversely affect pubic health, safety, and welfare. I want to talk about the bird guns, they cai it. Nowhere do I see this marked. Now, some people have to sign something, and this is not mentioned in the law to the Farmers Bill of Rights. Is that considered the good, normal farming practices? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I don't see it either. Laury, do you know where it is? TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: That issue is not exactly addressed in this. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: We address noise. TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: Yes, noise is addressed. It would depend upon whether or not this gun thing is a norma practice in the pursuit of agricultural operation. Traditionally, for what it's worth, have contacted Cornell Cooperative, or some of the agricultural advisory committees to get their opinion on what is a normal practice. pg 6 - PH SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We shall take your comment into consideration. Do you have anything else you would llke to share with us? ALFONSE MARASEL: Did you say, it was under consideration, that what I understand? I haven't got my hearing aid on. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: If we have a question in our mind as to something you have brought to our attention, we certainly will give it a second look. ALFONSE MARASEL: I have been talking about it for quite awhile now. I have the Long Island Farm Bureau Farmers Bill of Rights here. The Farmers Bill of Rights here, this goes back to 1988. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Many years ago when the vineyards first came into Southolcl Town, we used to get complaints all the time about the air guns. ALFONSE MARASEL: We don't have vineyards where I live. I live in Orient. (tape change) This noise, which is more than tractors, irrigations pumps, any other devices, which are not as noisy as the blasting device, which one time one of the vineyard people told me it's an offensive device. An offensive device does not belong in a civilized society, understand farming. They have to protect their farm, that have to produce. Nobody has the right to solve this problem at someone else~s expense. This bird gun going through the night, it is not civilized. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Do you have any other you would like to give the Board? So, your main from the guns that go off to scare the birds? comments, or input. concern is the noise ALFONSE MARASEL: The farmer next to me has been using them. I have been complaining. Several time I have been here. I must be very well known now. Mr. Latham never uses it. They have a lot of farmland from Narrow River Road down to the village. They never use it. Why is that? Is it up to the populace to make the laws? I don't think so. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: nearby where you llve? n other words, it is being used somewhere ALFONSE MARASEL: I don't want to hear that anymore. It's not farm practice. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: In infringes on your quality of life. ALFONSE MARASEL: They should have used those things 'n the ~50s. Then you had plenty of open land. I wouldn't be here either. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you very much for your comments, and we certainly will take them under advisement. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Board? pg 7 - PH COUNCILMAN MOORE: I will share with the Board two comments that I received. I had an individual contact me, and suggest that we drop the penalty provision of this Local Law. The second comment was relating to the fact that they had no problem that we put these CE. Rs on subdivisions, but questioned having brokers do it with regard to existing housing· It is suggested that we drop the requirement that brokers doing an existing house, not have to go through that notice provision. So, I share that with you, and we can take that up at a later date. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Perhaps the Board is in agreement that this should go back to the Code Committee. Would you like to say something? BENNETT ORLOWSKI: Again, this piece of legislation has been around as long as I have been on the Planning Board. It Ts something that has been the.only piece of legislation tha.t I ha.v.e really, really thought we needed ~slnce day ,0?e. We are spending millions of dollars to preserve farmland, now I think we have to show the farmers that we want to preserve them. We are not doing this law to make it difficult for anybody, but I think people coming into town, you say the real estate doesn"t· want pass this, but they are Coming into an agricultural commun.ity. Somebody has to let them know they are in an agricultural community, and f~he problems that we have had in the past With that are conforming to all laws. ~ mean, we have world watching over us, we would ke to ha~e this us in agricultural industry, and ~ do, and some practices..I know the canons sore Many years ago the only chemical we had fOr bird from us, so we can't use it here. So, they do use 'the ~ionally. They should not us.e them in t~he morning and ht and different pract~ices, so theYaa~red,=e s. ButW°rking the bird~ are sleeping anyway. But, they have also real hard at from thos~ noise: mal~ing g g t t, sometimes ten, or twelve, or fifteen thousand dollars worth per acre, sitting ou, t on the vine; you know you. have to and a way, to k~ep tt free from .blrds~ ;because It Et, I think the industry itself is [al~ing ,care of fact that they are netting. But, again~ talking to the Committee this afternoon, the Ag Committee who has worked on th for years, and would like to thank the Town Board for flnall and getting it this far. We support it 100%. I don't t in town that doesn't support it~ and those that enjoy the industry, and the ~istas, and how beautiful this af-ea support it also. SUPERVISOR COC~AN: Thank you, sir. Anyone else llke to address the Town Board? M~r. Krupsk ? ALBERT KRUPSKI: Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Al. response.) If not, we will close the hearing. Anyone else?
