SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just say before we take a vote on that, this Bay Avenue
bridge is in East Marion is in very poor condition, it poses a public safety risk if not attended to. I
want to thank Councilwoman Doherty who has taken this issue and keeps moving it forward. I
am sure, I have no doubt she will see it to a very successful conclusion.

COUNCILMAN RULAND: Before I vote I would like to say first of all, to the commissioners
of the fire district that are here, I would extend a thank you not only for your perseverance but
also for taking your time and that of the time of some of the fire service members to come on a
day that was less than comfortable, to give us an exhibit with fire apparatus and vehicles parked
in a way that the picture is worth 1,000 words and I know there will be some people that are
going to be upset but when you look at the dynamics, and Councilman Dinizio was there, when
you looked at the dynamics of how the scenario would play out in an emergency with vehicles
parked on both sides of the street and fire apparatus or any emergency apparatus coming to that
location, it just can't be. Because the safety of anybody has to take precedence over someone's
inconvenience and all that said, I would vote aye.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: With all of the community meetings and the on site inspections, it
made me miss the more expeditious days of getting no parking on Mill Lane in Peconic. I vote

Richard Gilhooly, 2220 Village Lane, Orient
Southold Town Board Meeting Page 36
March 11, 2014
RICHARD GILLOOLY: Good evening, I am Richard Gillooly of 2220 Village Lane. Excuse
me if I don't know exactly what is appropriate. My property is affected by this parking change
which I think is required but I am wondering about its impact on the parking for the buildings
that don't have any driveways that's on the other side of the street. There are about 20 or 30
days a year when the issue becomes more of a problem, when there are events at the yacht club
or events in the neighborhood. And my two concerns are that four of those houses have no
driveways, so is there some way to provide some kind of parking that is guaranteed for those
people, for those houses along the other side of the street, so that if there is an event, these people
have a place to park their cars? The other issue I guess is that when these events occur that the
traffic will move to side streets, people are going to park somewhere. And those streets in the
village are also very narrow. So I think we are moving, solving one problem but creating
another. And I think the areas that are most critical are right from the bay house where the road
bends and at the corner of King Street and Village Lane where the road bends again. I am not
entirely sure that we need to have no parking on both sides of Village Lane in the area from,
there is already no parking on the other side of the street so maybe we need to allow parking on
the other side and restrict the parking on the side that you are proposing. I don't know whether
you can put a map up that shows the area but I would be happy to point out some of these issues.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board? Scott?
Scott Harris,Orient
SCOTT HARRIS: Supervisor, ladies and gentlemen of the Town Board. Good evening. It is a
pleasure to be here once again. It has been a while. I would like to thank the Town Board for
taking up this public safety issue with something that as an elected official in the Orient Fire
district, as the vice chairman of the board of commissioners, it is something that has been
apparent to us for some time that we have a real problem there. And if I may address Mr.
Gillooly, Dick, it's only on the east side, it's not on the west side so it is not both sides on
Village Lane,just so you know.
MR. GILLOOLY: I know that, I understand that but it is both sides on Village Lane in front of
(inaudible).
MR. HARRIS: It is from the bay house, south. From the bay house to the corner where
Saunders live and the house that I own.
MR. GILLOOLY: I understand that.
MR. HARRIS: That's the east side. No parking , that's what's being proposed tonight and then
it goes around King Street on the same side and (inaudible)
MR. GILLOOLY: From Vincent down to the bay house (inaudible)...
MR. HARRIS: On Village Lane (inaudible)...
Southold Town Board Meeting Page 37
March 11, 2014
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just clarify for everybody here. I actually have a Google
Earth map, that would show no parking on the westerly side, I believe, from the northerly section
heading down and then where the no parking stops, it jumps across the street to the east side if I
am not mistaken. And then it runs along that way. I could show this to Richard just for clarity.
MR. HARRIS: I don't mean to answer the questions.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, no. That's fine. I am glad you did because....this is the
existing no parking, no parking and proposed no parking.
MR. GILLOOLY: So this no parking stops here.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MR. GILLOOLY: Oh, I see, it doesn't go all the way to the corner which is what (inaudible)
says.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I don't believe so.
MR. GILLOOLY: And the concern I have is that these places have no driveways.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Mmhmm.
MR. GILLOOLY: So when there is a big event down there, the people that park, the 150 cars
that park are going to move into the village. I just want to be sure these people can park.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They have parking in front of their homes. If they don't have
driveways, they still have access to the public right of way along there. I know that's a tight spot
but I have to tell you we have been....
MR. GILLOOLY: I think it has to be done, I am saying can you put, is there any type of
restriction that only the residents can park?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You can't on a public street. Yeah, I understand your point but you
can't take a public asset and then grant an exclusive to just one party, despite the need for it, you
can't unfortunately do that.
MR. HARRIS: But anyway, I would like to thank the Board for taking this action on behalf of
the Orient Fire District and the residents for public safety. Thank you again.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Alright. Thanks. Who else would like to address the Board?
Anybody? (No response)

here from William D. Moore, attorney here in Southold; `Dear Supervisor Russell and Members
of the Southold Town Board, I am writing to comment upon the proposed local law referenced
above. I wish to advise you that proposed amendments to chapter 144 of the Southold town code
violate the provisions of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code act.
Specifically, New York executive law section 379 states `no municipality shall have the power to
supersede, void, repeal or make more or less restrictive any provisions of this article or of rules
or regulations made pursuant hereto.' Further executive law section 383 states, ` the provisions
of this article and of uniform fire prevention and building code shall supersede any other
provision of a general, special or local law, ordinance, administrative code, rule or regulation
inconsistent or in conflict therewith.' The proposed amendments to chapter 144 seek to impose
local regulation and control over tents and canopies which are inconsistent with and more
restrictive than the comprehensive state code and regulations that are already in place. There is
no authority for the Town's proposed piecemeal tinkering with the New York State Building
Code and the comprehensive body of regulations that have been adopted. I ask that you
discontinue any further action with respect to this proposed local law. Thank you.' that was
signed by William D. Moore.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who would like to comment on this particular local law?
Southold Town Board Meeting Page 42
March 11, 2014
Town Attorney Martin D. Finnegan
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: I would. Just in response to Mr. Moore's comments. I would
respectfully disagree with his statement that the proposed law violates the New York State
building code. There is a process which we are following that requires that the Town Board
adopt the law, the law will then be submitted to the Department of State for review through the
building code council. But we have to go through this process, have a public hearing, adopt the
law and send it in its adopted form to be reviewed so that it can be determined to be consistent
with the State building code. So that is the process we are going through tonight and once it is
completed, we submit the law for further review. If adopted the law will be a part of our town
code and will be enforceable pending the review by the State.
Bill Shipman, Cutchogue
BILL SHIPMAN: Is that the same review the Department of State does?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Whenever we adopt a local law it gets sent to the Department of
State for review, if I am not mistaken. We have to file it with the State of New York.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: But that is a different review process. Everything gets sent
to the Department of State.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Same idea of State oversight.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Sir, can you please state your name for the record? Thank you.
MR. SHIPMAN: Bill Shipman, 75 Horseshoe Drive, Cutchogue.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else?
Robert Dunne, Peconic
ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. Am I right in understanding that single family
residential homes are exempt from all of this?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Yes. It doesn't apply to residential property or single
family residences.
MR. DUNN: Okay. Because it was in the second section, I did not know if it was included.
Thank you.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Right.
Bill Gilhooly
BILL GILLOOLY: Bill Gillooly, Orient. Are not for profits excluded?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It depends on the parcel.
Southold Town Board Meeting Page 43
March 11, 2014
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: The property where the tent is being erected.
MR. GILLOOLY: If it is owned by a not for profit?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If the property is owned, like a municipal corporation?
MR. GILLOOLY: Well, like say the historical society.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I...
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: I don't believe we have any exceptions for that. This is a
safety law, sir, it applies to making sure that if there is a tent that is an enclosed structure that it is
safe for people to assemble within it.
MR. GILLOOLY: Right, I thought I read something like that.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: There is an exception in our special events law for not for
profit type events, from that level of review but not for the tent permit process.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment? Any more on this issue?
Councilman Ghosio
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I just, touching base on that again, 144-A D, it does seem to exempt
bona fide religious, charitable, educational, fraternal, service, veteran, or volunteer fire
organizations, for tents with an occupancy of 300 or more unless owned, leased or operated by
them. Is that what he was talking about?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: That is 300 or more. Well, the state requires at the different
levels with a tent that big that we have to get it approved by the state. If it is a larger tent, okay,
there is another level of review so there is an exception from the state review for the tents for
charitable type organizations. But locally, we have our fire marshal check them out and inspect
them.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Anybody else on this particular local law? (No response)
Closing Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would ask anyone that would like to comment on any issue,
