Southold Town Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and join in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you. Before
we get to the regular business of the agenda, I am going to ask if we can have a moment of
silence for Howard Meinke, who passed away unfortunately a few days ago. Howard actually
served on the Southold Town Hamlet Stakeholders, he was a member of the Architectural
Review Commission, he was also one of the creators of the North Fork Clean Water Coalition.
And certainly we all know how much of a contribution he made to this community and he will be
missed. Can we please rise for a moment? Thank you. I would invite anybody that wants to
comment on the agenda to please feel free?
Jill Franke
JILL FRANKE: Jill Franke, Southold. I see resolution 2014-782, you are appointing someone
to the position of a clerk-typist, full-time?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MS. FRANKE: Where are you posting these jobs or are you canvassing because once again, I
am on the list, same number, same score. I was not canvassed.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We didn't canvass. We posted it on the website and on the bulletin
board about six days ago.
MS. FRANKE: When you post stuff on the bulletin board...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And on the website.
MS. FRANKE: I know, I am just telling you, civil service exam or coming up exams and jobs, I
noticed that people do take them down because they don't want competition in civil service tests.
So, you should probably put it in the newspaper as well. Thank you.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on any of the
agenda items? (No response)

Closing Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That concludes the agenda. I would invite anybody that would like
to address the Town Board to please feel free?
Lynn (Inaudible)
September 23, 2014 Page25
Southold Town Board Meeting
LYNN (INAUDIBLE): Lynn (inaudible), Hashomamaque Cove group. The families of
Hashomamaque cove want to thank you for not expanding the study and halting our projects.
We hope we are one of many that come along that help all of Southold. So thank you again.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Lynn. I think there are issues there that need to stand
alone and we recognize that the Hashomamaque cove, we can't hold that hostage for a very
worthwhile project but completely unrelated to your issues. Sure.
Peter Terranova
PETER TERRANOVA: Peter Terranova, Peconic. Peconic Sound Shores. The situation on
Route 48,just west and east of Hashomomaque cove is a clear and present danger to all of the
residents of Southold Town and I think we recognize that. And the remedy being studied by the
army corps of engineers should not be delayed or impaired for any reason, period. I mean, that's
the way I feel. Now the coastal reach between Duck Pond Point to the west and Horton's Point
to the east including Goldsmiths, is quite a bit more complex as we know. In this reach we have
near shore bluffs, we have historical embayment's, we have a non-navigable tidal inlet, we have
a man-made groin or jetty that is serving as a beach protection. We have deep near shore
troughs, we have sandbars, we have glacial erratic's on the shoreline and a shoreline orientation
change from west to east. It is a very complex coastal area to fully understand much less model
using available computer modeling programs. Now the entire money that the army has allocated
for the Hashomomaque cove feasibility study will probably not even be enough to truly
understand the `coastal dynamics' in this particular reach even if we spent all that money there.
so action on the part of the town board should not include this reach and not make the request to
the army corps of engineers feasibility study. Had you done so, would have unnecessarily
delayed the much needed work at Hashomomaque cove and I support the town board in that
effort. Now I don't want to be misunderstood by anyone. I am in favor of any effort or study
that provides the knowledge to help us implement projects and programs that preserve and
protects our coastal communities and habitat. But efforts to address the issues in the unique
reach from Duck Pond to Horton's Point should stand on its own merits. So I support the town
in its decision today. and look forward to working with the Town Board in the future.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: As a clarification, I think there was a misunderstanding two weeks
ago that somehow, someway since the scope has been narrowed, the cost has been narrowed but
it is my understanding the army corps will spend every bit of the $2.6 million, probably more
just to focus on what their goals are right now which is for the public infrastructure.
MR. TERRANOVA: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board?
George Aldcroft
GEORGE ALDCROFT: George Aldcroft, Mill Lane Peconic. As you have already heard, I
have sent you a lot of emails, I tried to do a lot of research because I still have not been able to
get specifically from talking to the DEC, I have not been able to get anything from the army
corps of engineers, trying to still get through to them even today. Getting hold of Bishop's
office, also getting hold of Al Krupski. Because I have not seen anything written online, the last
September 23, 2014 Page26
Southold Town Board Meeting
fact sheet, February 2014 says that area, okay, was included which you considered to be problem
area 4, now if it has been taken out, it seems like there should be something indicating why it
was taken out and where was the funding? In other words, we have never said in any of the
things and even the Group for Goldsmiths Inlet, we have never, ever wanted Hashomaque cove
not included, we have never wanted the sites, the other problem areas 1, 2 and 3 definitely, they
all belong in front of the Goldsmith Inlet area. What is confusing is when they said they took
Goldsmith Inlet area out, it seems they have taken out, okay, that whole borderline there with the
deteriorating jetty, with the Kenney's beach homes, with anything that would affect Mill Lane,
with anything Second Avenue which last time was up to here with the flooding, and then if they
are not taking care of it, who then is going to do something about it? Because if it is knocked
out, I would like to know how come? And if it is being funded and they had $2.6 million, you
say that's a lot of money just for a feasibility study, it is not saying they are going to spend any
money, they are going to look at the problem and if they need $2.6 million to look at the
problem, not put money into putting bulkheads or whatever else it is, that's a lot of money for a
feasibility study. And if it has been taken out, I would like to know how come and did they have
any, you know, where's the rest of the money going?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The, it is a federal agency and the accountability component would
have to come from your federal representatives. These are issues that are certainly valid and
they should be studied but they are going to have to be looked at as a separate initiative from the
Hashomomaque cove study. The army corps has made that perfectly clear to us. They see no
science link between the two. And right now their focus is in Hashomomaque cove and the
public, protecting the public infrastructure there.
MR. ALDCROFT: Even though it was considered to be one of the major problem areas? When
they listed the four? The original...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's their decision.
MR. ALDCROFT: Inaudible.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Again, the accountability component would have to come from your
federal representatives to insist on accountability or answers from the ACOE.
MR. ALDCROFT: Okay. So if the county or if the army corps of engineers is not going to look
at this, who is going to look at that area?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Maybe the army corps will, it just won't be part of the
Hashomomaque cove study. It doesn't meant that there shouldn't be some effort or emphasis
trying to be placed going back to Bishop and asking for some more funds to study that. That's
what the army corps does. It's just that....
MR. ALDCROFT: Is the town willing to do that?
September 23, 2014 Page27
Southold Town Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is the town willing to sit down with Congressman Bishop?
Absolutely. Anytime. But we are not willing to hold one study hostage...
MR. ALDCROFT: No, I agree they should not, there's never been a question that they should be
held back, the reason I was working on it was because it was part of the original funding and
study.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I understand.
MR. ALDCROFT: Not that we are now going to stick it in.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I understand. They are much farther along than I thought they
would be, in fact, I think they are getting ready to set public hearings sometime in November.
So they have done quite a bit and a lot of that money has been spent. With more to be spent.
Who else would like to address the Town Board?
Robert Dunn
ROBERT DUNK: Robert Dunn, Mill Lane. I am just going to make a comment in addition to
what George said. This is a fact sheet, Hashomomaque cove, that was issued in February 14 and
it said all of the areas were going to be included so it is a little confusing and kind of what the
whole thing does here is it puts one area against the other. That's not right and it's not good for
anybody.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right.
MR. DUNN: I mean, the whole thing started back with the EIS thing and why that wasn't done
5 years ago or 3 years ago or whenever it was supposed to be done and it wasn't done and a vote
wasn't taken and then it came up again and then it was referenced we were getting $30,000 and
that it turned out to be more than $30,000 to review the old study so we are going to pass it along
to the army corps of engineers is how we got into this conflict and it appears that Goldsmiths is
going against Hashomomaque and Kenney's is, so I don't even know who is going where
anymore. It is really getting very confusing so what has to happen is, somebody needs to
(inaudible) you guys got to say this is what we are going to do, this is what we are not going to
do and that's it. I mean, we elect you and we have got to respect what you do, it's your right to
do it. You have a responsibility to kind of put some of these things to sleep and end it so that
you don't go on and on and on. It's just, there's always studies and am I making my point?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, very much. I understand that. This town has start and stopped
so many times on all issues relating to the jetty but the issue that was presented to us two weeks
ago was to expand the scope back to the original scope. My understanding is the army corps did
study the larger areas of reach and they honed in on Hashomomaque because that was the
original intent.
MR. DUNN: And I am all for that, Mr. Dinizio explained to me exactly where it was and I went
and looked at that property where you said was affected and that's scary. I was there when the
water was 5 feet from the little berm on the side of the road there, so there's an absolute need
September 23, 2014 Page28
Southold Town Board Meeting
there and that should be the priority. Work should be beginning there tomorrow, not studied.
It's too late for studies as far as I am concerned but I am talking about now what's going on with
the town. What's going on with the town can back this whole jetty thing and it just goes on and
on again. And I guarantee it is going to be up here, people are going to, there's going to be a guy
over there and there's going to be a guy over here in two months or three months and they are
going to bring something else on it, it needs to end.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, one presumption we cannot make is that somehow,
someway, if we find the funds to study the problem, it's going to come up with a singular
solution that is going to solve the problem. It is an ongoing issue. It has and lord knows this
town has committed a tremendous amount of money to all issues related to Goldsmiths inlet, but
at the same time, the genesis of this whole discussion was Hashomomaque cove. Are there
issues at Goldsmiths, are there issues at Duck Point? Absolutely. And we would be happy to sit
down with any organization that wants to meet with our federal representatives and try to secure
their resources and study those issues.
MR. DUNN: The connection that came between this Hashomomaque thing, (inaudible) and
Goldsmiths though was as a result of the discussions that went on this summer related to the
DEIS and updating it and monies were actually voted by you guys to update it and then you
found out there wasn't enough money, so I don't know. I am hearing back stories.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Just a clarification, first the EIS, the update, that's separate
and apart from the army corps of engineers study.
MR. DUNN: Absolutely.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: A completely separate issue. The town board some years ago had
paid for an EIS, a pretty substantial amount of money and then never accepted it. my position at
the time was, we paid for the darn thing, we ought to at least accept it. it doesn't mean we have
to act on it. we revisited that issue last year, we thought the consultant I guess originally gave us
an estimate of about $30,000 to brush it off and then he came back and said guess what? That
study is so old, you can't make any decisions based on that study. The science has moved well
past that. so then we have to look, we have to make a hard decision. we are just not in the
position to spend a couple hundred thousand dollars to study a jetty yet again. that would be out
of town pocket. We have spent an awful lot. You know, it was constructed by the federal
government, I would like to see the army corps of engineers come in and you know, I was
hoping for the broad scope study they were promising. We didn't get it. what we have right
now is hopefully looking to expand that scope down the road but as separate and apart from the
issues at Hashomomaque.
MR. DUNN: Fine. All I am saying, am I making my point about (inaudible)
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, you are.
MR. DUNN: That's really what I am talking, I am not talking about trying to eat their lunch.
September 23, 2014 Page29
Southold Town Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I know.
MR. DUNN: That's not my point.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I appreciate it, Robert.
MR. DUNN: Last week I spoke to you guys about shoreline erosion in general, going up the
beach from the inlet and oddly enough, I went home that night and on CBS was Susan Acker,
she is a legislator from....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, north shore of western Suffolk.
MR. DUNN: Are you aware of their legislation that actually went on that same night with the
county?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No.
MR. DUNN: The county voted to create a task force to study erosion in jetties on the north
shore and it seems to me, if the county is going to be doing something then the town ought to be
aware of it and maybe we can get Mr. Krupski to present to you guys and keep us abreast of
where that is going? When you consider that if they are talking about the north shore of Suffolk
County, Southold Town, Fishers Island and Plum Island probably is one third of it by (inaudible)
we may not be the population of one third and we may not be the money value of one third but
the task force is going to be county, state and federal and we should be at least informed or made
aware of.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will ask Legislator Krupski to see if we can get a seat at the table
and have a representative from the town, you know, I have to be candid, the county has a history
of creating task force and you know they recently have a tick management task force, they had
one meeting and then disbanded so, but certainly if we had an advocate from the east end
representing our interests, I will certainly do what I can.
MR. DUNN: just to be aware of what's going on. I mean we shouldn't have to hear about it
(inaudible) legislation that affects just about everybody in this room. One way or another.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right. Thank you, Robert. Who else would like to address the
Town Board? Bill?
Bill Shipman
BILL SHIPMAN: Bill Shipman, Horseshoe Drive, Cutchogue. A couple of questions. The tent
law that was filed in march, is that now in effect? For enforcement?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
September 23, 2014 Page30
Southold Town Board Meeting
MR. SHIPMAN: Over at Vineyard 48, they have tents up, the site plans says they are not
supposed to have them up. Have they been cited for that?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to defer to Martin on that. But I believe that should be an
issue that should be brought to Robert Fisher. Who inspects the tents for the town, building
department.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay but this has been a three year problem and I come up here every couple
of months and ask the same questions and I haven't been given that answer yet but...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Look, I think we have scaled back the operation there substantially.
MR. SHIPMAN: That we have, Scott but they were, what's the word I want to use, disciplined
by the state liquor authority and they are doing the exact same things they were doing prior to
their discipline on a much smaller scale. So if I have been fighting for three years and they are
not supposed to do something, guess what? I am here. If you go to the number Vineyard 48, the
dates come up, the Instagrams come up, people are getting approximately 64 ounce beach pails
of sangria for $50 a pop. So they are not supposed to do that. Their stay entitles them to do
servings. They have beer taps on site. Other vineyards, do they do that? Do they go maybe go
above and beyond? Yeah but Vineyard 48 is the only vineyard in New York State that has been
disciplined by the New York State liquor authority and they happen to reside here in Southold
Town, across the street from my house where they had a Boardy Barn style party for three years
and guess what? That monster is going to grow again. So if they are not supposed to have those
tents there, I want to know if they are cited or if they are not cited.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to....
MR. SHIPMAN: Or if you are not going to cite them, tell me you are not going to cite them.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If it is an issue of compliance, I would bring it to the building
department and get an answer from the building department.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: They have permits for the tents right now. The tents came
down, as you may recall...
MR. SHIPMAN: yes.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: And they applied, the issue previously was they just put
them up without any permit at all, they came in, they applied for a permit. They were issued
permits and they are being monitored by the fire marshal on a monthly basis. There have been,
to my knowledge, no complaints or incidents. There are other businesses in town that applied
for, you know, repeated permits. As long as there are no issues, with the use of it or the intensity
of the use of it, then the permit can be re-issued but that's at the discretion of the building
department.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay.
September 23, 2014 Page3l
Southold Town Board Meeting
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: So that's where you would have to inquire, I presume that
the permit is still valid at this point....
MR. SHIPMAN: They have tent permits?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Yes.
MR. SHIPMAN: So from May till whenever they got their permits, sometime July, August?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: I don't know the exact date.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay. So when they got those, they were cited, yes? Prior to getting them
they were cited.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: There were numerous violations and by way of resolution of
those violations....
MR. SHIPMAN: Your tent permit guidelines, `a tent permit shall not be issued, the erection of
a tent on any parcel that has an open building permit or subject to pending site plan'. Their site
plan is now in Supreme Court, yes?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: There is an injunction....
MR. SHIPMAN: A tent permit shall not be issued to any business operating in violation of town
code or has any pending code violations.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: The code violations were all resolved, through the
resolution of the code violations, they applied for a tent permit...
MR. SHIPMAN: For two years they didn't have any permits, you continually cited them. They
pled guilty for violations that you cited them for and then you gave them tent permits?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Look, there had to...
MR. SHIPMAN: They were in violation when they didn't have the permit.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They came in and got the, Bill, there needs to be some resolution to
this. I think if you look at the....
MR. SHIPMAN: The resolution is that....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If you look at the operation, I have listened to you, now you have
got to listen to me. I listened to you, now you have got to listen to me. And I will listen to you
again. Our goal was to not shut that business down but rather to bring it into compliance with
the scope and scale that's consistent with the zoning. We have done that. We have done that.
September 23, 2014 Page32
Southold Town Board Meeting
Tent permits, all of those things, there has to be some resolution on both sides of the table. We
have done our job here. If it grows and the problem exacerbates, we will address it again. But
we did our job. We brought it back into compliance with what the intended use of the zoning is.
We are not here to put them out of business, we are here to simply reel them in. That is what we
did.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay. But they still have no liquor license, correct?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's an issue I am going to have to defer to the SLA on. I can't
enforce SLA and I know that was a separate action on the part of the SLA.
MR. SHIPMAN: But you are telling the business they can do that, they are allowed to operate
that way, you are giving them tools to enhance their operation and you haven't had a current
liquor license since 2009.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are giving them tent permits. That's what we have given them,
tent permits. We haven't given them the tools to operate in some nefarious way, that's an issue
for, that's an issue for the SLA. We gave them tent permits.
MR. SHIPMAN: I may be back here in three weeks, you are going to have the same stuff that's
going on there.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And if that's the case, we will react quickly.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay. Regarding the Suffolk County Supreme Court order from 10/23/2012
regarding the limiting of 34 vehicles on site. It has been noted multiple times since 2012 that
they have had over 60 vehicles on site. Has anything been done regarding that?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to defer to Martin and the Planning Board on that.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: My understanding is that the police department routinely
patrols there on the weekend and if there are violations, they note them and violations are issued.
I am not aware of any recent violations that have been issued in the last month or so. Inaudible.
MR. SHIPMAN: Inaudible. But they've been violating that since 2012, several times over 2012
and 2013, then the new season starts in April and now because they complied and they are
violating a Supreme Court order, you give them tent permits on top of it. Do you at least see
where I am coming from?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. But I assure you, we will react quickly if the problem gets
reestablished.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay. Let's go back to old stuff. They have a limit of 256 people, they are
over every weekend. And your answer to that a year and a half ago or two years ago, you can't
count every individual person. Well, this is what's happening every Saturday through July and
September 23, 2014 Page33
Southold Town Board Meeting
August. so when your Planning Board or your Planning Department issues the tent permits,
when you have been fighting with them in court, spending over $23,610 from May 1, 2010 to
May 1, 2014, the stuff that I FOIL'd and I found it on my own, I never received the FOIL'd
information since June so you are telling me that you issued them tent permits.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The irony is here, Bill, is that we spent that money for you and for
the other neighbors at that site...
MR. SHIPMAN: I understand that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And we did our job, it worked.
MR. SHIPMAN: And then you give them tent permits to operate, when they have no liquor
license,they have a stay....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Tent permits are not....
MR. SHIPMAN: While they are in litigation.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You do not need a liquor license to get a tent permit in Southold
Town.
MR. SHIPMAN: This is going to go off around in a circle and there's always going to be an
answer. What's the status of their site plan? If the site plan that was approved in December of
2013 says it is immediately enforceable December 17, 2013, is that their site plan?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You'll have to go ask the Planning Board. It is before a
discretionary board. This Town Board shouldn't mingle in the affairs of the Planning Board. Go
to the Planning Board if you have concerns about the site plan or if you would like to know the
pendency of the site plan, you know, where are they in the process? But you can bring it up with
Don and the rest over there and I am sure they will answer all your questions.
MR. SHIPMAN: So it shouldn't be this site plan because they issued tent permits? In here it
says, in their site plan, it says that there's to be no tents, awnings or sales on the property.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can't speak to that issue because I don't have benefit of the
Planning Board's stipulations but I would strongly recommend if you think there are violations,
bring them to the attention of the Planning Board so they can evaluate to see if violations exist.
MR. SHIPMAN: I have been to the Town Board, I have been to the Planning Board, I have been
to the Zoning Board of Appeals who has a 167 page decision regarding this and the majority of
the stuff that's put in the site plan is on recommendation of the ZBA and the ZBA says that the
past practice of their stuff has been a commercial enterprise. And we give them tent permits.
Okay, we will give them this, you just be good.
September 23, 2014 Page34
Southold Town Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Mmmhmm. That's, I can't....
MR. SHIPMAN: Are you kidding me?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can't...
MR. SHIPMAN: Run your tasting room and be good, maybe you get tent permits when you
start acting like....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We don't have the discretion to deny bona fide permits to people.
What we had....
MR. SHIPMAN: It's a permit.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What we had was the opportunity to reel it in and we did that.
MR. SHIPMAN: If I don't comply with your landfill rules and regulations, what happens?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You get a permit.
MR. SHIPMAN: No, you don't. You took it away from Artco years ago because of dumping.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I can't speak to that, that was a litigation issue. But I don't
think we should go there right now.
MR. SHIPMAN: Inaudible.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am very familiar with that, I don't think we should go there right
now.
MR. SHIPMAN: He was unable to use that facility because of violations. Scott, I am not the
sharpest tool in the shed but I know when I am being jerked around.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Bill, I happened to be a party to that action, and I would say a lot
more to it than what might meet the eye, so I am not going to comment on past...
MR. SHIPMAN: Right. Well, there's a lot more action going on right here that's meeting the
eye.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We have received no complaints. I have gone by personally on
several weekends and.....
MR. SHIPMAN: That's because I stopped calling because they show up 1 '/z hours later and
what does it matter? You tell me keep calling but the only thing that is done is that it is
documented. I am tired of calling. I am tired of bothering Jim.
September 23, 2014 Page35
Southold Town Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: You don't bother me, Bill.
MR. SHIPMAN: I understand that but I feel that I do because I am here for three years doing the
same stuff and you told me at one particular point you were never going to give them tent
permits until they complied. Nothing is done.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You need to discuss it with the Planning Board to see if they
achieved compliance. I can't answer for the Planning Board.
MR. SHIPMAN: Have they achieved compliance?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's an issue you should bring to the attention of the Planning
Board. It is a site plan that is solely governed by the Planning Board, not the Town Board.
MR. SHIPMAN: And then what about the building department because the permits are being
issued in error.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's an issue....
MR. SHIPMAN: And then they are going to tell you, we are not taking them down. And then
your answer to me is going to be what it was in June, we don't have the mechanisms in our town
code to remove the tents, to force them or to force the vendor to take the tents down. So right
now, I believe I am being jerked around really, really hard. And I have been nice right up to this
point and you tell me you give them the permits. So before I am unkind and I am not acting like
a gentleman, I am going to call this a night. But something very strange and weird is going on in
this and it is completely unfair. Completely. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on any issue?
Linda Goldsmith
LINDA GOLDSMITH: Hi, Linda Goldsmith, East Marion. I wanted to know the status of the
property behind the East Marion park? Melissa Spiro had spoken to us and you have decided to
take the gift of that property. Is that correct?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I, executive session item. I don't know that I should be discussing
in public session.
MS. GOLDSMITH: Okay. Well, it was discussed with me, so I will tell you what was
discussed with me. Then she had called and she had said that the town was going to take the
property. I am just wondering if the development rights are going to be extinguished on that if
the town takes the property, a big if Will the development rights on the two acres be
extinguished?
September 23, 2014 Page36
Southold Town Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The town, with any parcel the town would take, we would
extinguish the development rights. That would be the purpose of taking it through the Land
Preservation Department.
MS. GOLDSMITH: Okay and I can find the tax ramifications through the Assessor's office?
Would that be correct?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. Or you can call my office, I will get it for you.
MS. GOLDSMITH: That's okay, I will call. I was just interested because when Melissa had
spoken to the school, you know, we were a little bit on the interested side as far as taking that
property and then you know, the opportunity went away. Extinguished or not, we were still
interested but....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If that's the case, then we certainly....
MS. GOLDSMITH: No, no, no, no. Then we thought about it, we thought maybe we better
leave it on the tax rolls because we need all the revenue we can get. But anyway, I just
wondered what the status is. And the other thing is, I am sure you have all been over the internet
and read about the issues with the safety of the justice court and things like that and I am just
wondering if either of the buildings on Peconic Lane have ever thought to be repurposed as a
justice court and you have the close proximity to the jail and it just would seem to be somewhere
in those buildings you can hold justice court there....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We did look at both, actually, the Peconic School, the original bond
that bought that building specifically precluded us from anything other than public purposes. It
did not provide for municipal office space. It would have been in violation of the bond. The
other building was just too large and very difficult to secure. I mean, it is just a large Morton
building. It would be very difficult to secure that site. But we are going to look at all our
options and bring some resolution to this very quickly.
MS. GOLDSMITH: I just happen to just unfortunately be in Riverhead court, actually it was
traffic court if you can imagine, and the security was amazing.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, it was.
MS. GOLDSMITH: I couldn't bring a bottle of water in. So, you know, I mean it doesn't
personally affect me but it certainly would affect me if someone here was injured and you know,
I always think if someone can go into Lancaster, Pennsylvania and get 7 little Amish girls and
shoot them, you guys are all sitting ducks up here. Thanks.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on any issue?
Jill Franke
September 23, 2014 Page37
Southold Town Board Meeting
JILL FRANKE: Jill Franke, Southold. I was wondering when you were going to paint the lines
on the road at the monument in Orient?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Where?
MS. FRANKE: In the roadways. The monument.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would have to defer to Vincent Orlando.
MS. FRANKE: The attorney?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would have to defer to Vincent Orlando, who would be in charge
of that schedule.
MS. FRANKE: I know my mom had spoke to you prior to her passing about it, that people who
are not from out there, they come over, they pull over to the right and if you are turning to head
to the west, you pull over to the left and they pull into you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is this on Route 25? Or this is....
MS. FRANKE: it's on 25 and Village Lane. It's the monument. At the soldiers monument.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, then....
MS. FRANKE: I have an email from you as far back as 2006 where you told me it was going to
be done within a matter of weeks because it was already surveyed, they put new sidewalks in, all
kinds of work was going to be done there. That was 2006.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure.
MS. FRANKE: I spoke to you prior to that and it's still not done.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. I can't, you know, I gave you the answer that was conveyed
to me by the highway superintendent at the time. this is an issue you should take up with the
highway superintendent.
MS. FRANKE: Okay. And I have no issue with the police department or the fire department,
they are our first line of defense if anything should happen, a couple of weeks ago you passed a
resolution to purchase some weapons. Only one of you cared to find out what type of weapons
they were, I was wondering why the weapons were purchased on August 7 and you did not pass
the resolution to purchase them to the end of August?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can't speak to that. Probably the police chief overextended the line
that was earmarked for ammunition and we had to do a budget mod to cover that cost. But that
was a $17,000 purchase. We have to show some faith and confidence in our department heads
September 23, 2014 Page38
Southold Town Board Meeting
and if he, at his discretion, wanted to buy those weapons that's his prerogative. He believed the
department needed that and I am going to stand by him on that.
MS. FRANKE: I believe the department probably needed it also but I think the Town Board
should know what's going on. You are all police commissioners.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's a$40 million budget, again, you have to show some faith and
confidence in the department heads. To make some of these acquisitions.
MS. FRANKE: There are department heads here that you shouldn't have too much faith in.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on any issue? (No
