THANK,YOU LAVERNE TAYLOR S 1 1 'I DRAFT CUTCHOGUE INDUSTRIAL AREA PLANNING STUDY Cutchogue,Town of Southold,New York Prepared for: Town Board of the Town of Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1179 Southold,New York 11971 Prepared by: Nelson,Pope &Voorhis,LLC 572 Walt Whitman Road Melville,New York 11747 Contact: Charles J. Voorhis, CEP,AICP Date: August 26, 2002 1.0 BACKGROUND AND HISTORY 1.1 Study Area The overall subject of this planning study is the industrial zoned land north of Middle Road, also known as County Route (CR) 48, east of Depot Lane, west of Cox Lane, and south of Oregon Road. This land is located in and around the Southold Landfill property in the hamlet of Cutchogue, Town of Southold,New York. A core area of the planning study is defined to include the residential uses centered around Tuthill Lane, north of Middle Road. This area will be included as a focus area due to the non- conforming residential uses which exist in this industrial zoned area, and the land use challenge that this area provides. Included within this core area is the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue, located at the eastern most border of the residential use core area. The total study area includes 37 tax parcels, with a total area of 252 acres. The core area comprises approximately 5.74 acres of the overall 252 acres of the study area. Approximately 77.9 acres of land is owned by the Town of Southold, and is devoted to solid waste management activities. The Town of Southold lands are comprised of two major municipal properties located within the study area. The Town of Southold's former landfill is located on a 60.9 acre parcel that wraps around the northern and eastern boundary of the residential core of the study area. The recently purchased 17 acre McBride property, to be used as a site to relocate the Town's yard waste and composting operations, lies to the west of the Tuthill Lane residential core area. � 4 DRAFT Cutcc ogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue - NP&V No. 02236 1.2 Objectives of Study The objectives of this study are to first examine the existing land use conflicts associated with the residential area in the Tuthill Lane core area, relative to the surrounding industrial areas. Further, the study will offer recommendations in consideration of land use, zoning and environmental conditions in order to alleviate any related conflicts. Ultimately, the study recommendations will provide a guideline to promote a land use development pattern that is environmentally sound, and economically viable. 1.3 History of Subject Site and Surrounding Area The study area under consideration was the subject of a major revision to the Town of Southold Zoning Code in 1989. Prior to 1989, the properties in the core area were zoned for residential - purposes under the prior "A" (Residential Agricultural) zoning district. Other zoning within the - study area prior to 1989 included the prior "C-1" (General Industrial) district in the southwest and northeast quadrants of the study area, with "A" (Residential Agricultural) zoning in the northwest quadrant, and a concentration of"C" (Light Industrial) zoning in the southeast area fronting CR 48. As a result of the Town's desire to expand its inventory of industrial properties, and strengthen the economic base of the community, the subject core area, along with the outlying areas were rezoned for all industrial use. The western third of the study area became zoned LIO (Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park), and the eastern two-thirds, including the Town landfill site, was rezoned to LI (Light Industrial) district. This removed large areas of residential zoning from within the study area, and created an industrial nucleus on the north side of CR 48 in Cutchogue. - The rezoning created a land use issue for the Tuthill Lane residential core area. The area already had a significant number of non-industrial uses, including nine (9) residential homes and the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue. It was anticipated at the time of the comprehensive zone changes, that ultimately, these uses would be phased out and converted to industrial uses. However, this has not been the case, and now approximately fourteen (14) years later the non- industrial uses remain. 1.4 Local and Regional Planning Studies 1985 Town of Southold Master Plan This document provided the foundation for the 1989 rezonings that created the industrial district in the areas bounded by Oregon Road to the north, Middle Road (CR 48) to the south, Depot Lane to the west, and Cox Lane to the east. Although the focus of the subject master plan was to preserve and protect agricultural lands and the rural character of the community, it also - 1�1111ftc wit, Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 2 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02136 recognized the need for industrial development. Based on the existing location of the landfill, and the transportation access associated with CR 48, the plan designated this particular area for industrial zoning. After the rezoning which became effective in 1989, the area was not recommended for changes in a subsequent Town Comprehensive Plan Update. 1999 County Route 48 Corridor Land Use Study The study focused on land use policy as it relates to the future growth activities along County Route 48 through the Town of Southold. The study focused on four basic themes: ■ The preservation of farmland and agriculture, ■ The preservation of open and recreation space, ■ The preservation of the rural, cultural, commercial and historical character of the hamlets and surrounding areas, and ■ The preservation of the natural environment. Although the Corridor study does not make any specific recommendations about the area that is the subject of this Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study, it does offer a number of applicable goals: ■ Provide for a variety of housing opportunities for citizens of different incomes and age levels, ■ Re-zone parcels to more appropriate uses, • Require greater setbacks from the roadway for larger agricultural and commercial buildings. The following sections of this report include an inventory of existing land use and zoning, Suffolk County density limitations, environmental conditions and water availability in the study area. The inventory is followed by an analysis of the land use and zoning factors which are evident based on the inventory. The final section of this report includes recommendations for Town consideration, to address land use conflicts and ensure appropriate zoning and development within the Town. I �� Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants DRAFT Cute ogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 2.0 INVENTORY - 2.1 Existing Zoning As noted in Background and History, the entire study area contained within Oregon Road to the =_ north, Middle Road (CR 48) to the south, Depot Lane to the west, and Cox Lane to the east is zoned for two types of light industrial use. The western portion extending from Depot Lane approximately 1,100 feet eastward is zoned Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park (LIO), the remaining areas, including the core residential neighborhood and municipal landfill are zoned -- Light Industrial (LI). Attachment A; Figure 1 includes a zoning map of the study area. Generally, the LIO classification encourages the development planned industrial and office park uses, relative to the general industrial development promoted within the LI designation. The major difference between the two industrial classifications is the minimum lot requirement for each district. The LI has a minimum lot size requirement of 40,000 square feet, as compared with the LIO district, which requires a 120,000 square foot minimum lot size. In addition, the = LIO has a more restrictive lot coverage requirement relative to the LI zone; wherein the LIO district allows twenty(20)percent coverage and the LI district allows a greater coverage of thirty (30)percent. 2.2 Existing Land Use - The Tuthill Lane core area is comprised of non-industrial uses, which include nine (9) single family residences and the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue. The residential homes are on relatively small lots, ranging from approximately 10,000 to 22,000 square feet. There are also a number of small vacant parcels dispersed within the core area that are generally under one-half acre in size. There are a total of twelve (12) separate tax parcels within the core area, as well as two Town-owned transportation related right-of-ways. In addition to Tuthill Lane, there are a number of semi-improved driveways that provide access into the residential core. The land use activity outside of the core area contains a mix of commercial, industrial and - municipal uses. To the east of the residential core and entrance to the municipal landfill site, there are several commercial uses fronting on Middle Road (CR 48). With one exception, these small businesses are operating out of buildings that formerly were residential homes. At the intersection of Middle Road and Cox Lane lies a multi-tenant industrial facility occupied by a broad range of commercial and industrial uses. Extending northward along Cox's Lane, the land use pattern is comprised of various commercial and industrial activities. Included in the land use inventory along Cox Lane are an asphalt plant, a gravel and mixing operation, marine services, a sanitation and transfer station and auto related businesses. Essentially, the entire frontage along - Cox's Lane is occupied by the existing inventory of businesses. Attachment A; Figure 2 - provides an aerial photograph of the general land use pattern in the area, with tax map parcels superimposed to demonstrate the ownership pattern in the study area. Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 4 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 With the exception of a junkyard located to the west of the intersection of Oregon Road and Cox's Lane, the remaining perimeter of the study area is dominated by farm use and related buildings. This perimeter includes the remaining properties along Oregon Road and Depot Lane. Essentially, the farm uses extend from the perimeter roads to the former Southold landfill, situated in the center of the study area. It is important to note that, there is a proposed industrial subdivision totaling approximately 28 acres located on the farm property located at the intersection of Depot Lane and Middle Road. This land has an approved industrial subdivision, but at present is unable to be developed due to the inability to provide suitable water supply to the future industrial buildings. At present, public water is not available for new uses in this area, and agricultural chemicals are present in the groundwater thereby eliminating potential for on- site water supply systems. Environmental and water supply issues are discussed in more detail in Section 2.4. Agricultural lands are the predominate use surrounding the study area. The Town of Southold, through its land use planning and zoning control, has attempted to preserve the agricultural use, rural character and views from County Road 48 associated with these areas. 2.3 Suffolk County Sanitary Code—Article 6 Density Limitations In addition to zoning requirements, land use densities are limited by Article 6 of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code (SCSC). Article 6 was adopted for the purpose of implementing parts of the Areawide Waste Treatment Management (208 Study) by establishing geographic boundaries for groundwater management. The Article established density limitations in unsewered areas to control nitrogen load from sewage disposal and the impact on ground and surface water resources. This area of the Town of Southold is designated as Groundwater Management Zone VI. Under this designation, Article 6 requires that lot sizes in areas with no public water be a minimum of 40,000 square feet in size. In areas with public water, lot sizes may be reduced to 20,000 square feet. For design flow purposes, Suffolk County Department of Health Services equates three- hundred (300) gallons per day per residential unit. Therefore, Article 6 limits density to one (1) dwelling unit per acre in areas without public water, and two (2) units per acre in areas with public water. Design flow factors can be applied to industrial and office uses based on a gallon per square foot per day factor, to determine design flow for various uses. 2.4 Environmental Conditions and Water Availability Groundwater contamination has had a negative impact on the ability of residences and businesses to access potable water in the general environs of the study area. Historically, agricultural uses have involved application of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers to 9", Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 5 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 control pest activity and enhance crop growth. This practice has resulted in trace concentrations of agricultural chemicals in excess of drinking water standards throughout areas of the Town historically devoted to agricultural use. Recent advances in pest management, chemical breakdown, and controlled application have improved farm practice such that minimal impact occurs on modern-day farms. However, the slow rate of groundwater movement ( %2 to 1 Meet per day), the conservative nature of certain chemicals in groundwater, and extended time periods for chemical breakdown,has resulted in residual contaminant levels in the aquifer. The north fork is a shallow groundwater system with generally less than 100 feet of maximum vertical depth of freshwater reserves, atop saline waters, thus limiting the groundwater reserve. For certain areas downgradient (north) of the Town owned land, historical use at the landfill has resulted in elevated contaminant levels in parts of the study area. In response to this situation, the Southold Town Board in cooperation with the Suffolk County Water Authority(SCWA), the local water purveyor, adopted a public water supply plan and map in July of 2000. The plan established certain locations within the Town where the Suffolk County Water Authority may install water mains and provide public water service to existing uses. The subject plan included areas designated by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS) and SCWA as priorities for public water supply due to known groundwater contamination. It should be noted that, according to the SCWA Chief Executive Officer, Stephen M. Jones, the water authority does not have the capacity to meet the current demand for public water supply for all the SCDHS priority areas in the Town of Southold. Further, it is the policy of the SCWA to consider only those locations designated on the July 2000 plan for public water supply. In order for the SCWA to consider sites for public water supply that are not so designated in the July 2000 plan, the Town of Southold must amend the subject plan (Attachment B). �r Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 6 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 3.0 ANALYSIS 3.1 Land Use and Environmental Planning Factors The variables that impact long term planning policy within the core residential area vary significantly from those in the greater subject study area. The potential for properties in the study area to achieve the industrial purposes envisioned in the 1989 re-zonings is far less in the core residential area, as compared with the larger tracts of industrial land with no established residential uses present in the balance of the study area. This determination is based both on economic and land use conditions associated with properties within the core area, and is evidenced by the lack of such uses to date. Since 1989, there has not been any assemblage of properties within the residential core to allow for the development of an industrial facility. The only proposed non-residential use is the current proposal for a 5,000 square foot pool supply warehouse on a vacant, substandard half-acre parcel. The reason for this is based on the current land use pattern within the core and the economics that guide land development. Simply put, the ability for an industrial developer to assemble a site for industrial use is severely limited due to the availability and size of vacant parcels, and the cost of purchasing improved residential properties. Due to the residential lot sizes within the core, an industrial user would be required to assemble at least two (2) or three (3) improved residential properties to achieve enough land to have a site suitable for industrial use. Even though the improved value of the subject residential properties are somewhat modest relative to home values in the surrounding areas, the costs would be prohibitive. In order to achieve a one (1) acre industrial site, the assemblage costs to an industrial user would most likely exceed two-hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). This cost exceeds the cost of comparable industrial land in the vicinity of the study area. As a result, future potential uses would be expected to seek variances to construct buildings and uses on lots smaller in size than intended by zoning. This results in less attractive, piecemeal industrial development, with inadequate buffers,potentially inadequate parking, and access constraints. In summary, industrial use within the residential core may prove difficult for several reasons, noted as follows: ■ Parcel sizes range from 10,000-22,000 square feet and therefore do not individually meet the minimum lot size required by zoning. ■ Consolidation of properties is costly and potentially difficult due to the remaining residential uses. ■ Industrial development (subject to variances) on smaller lots could result innumerous small uses, with inadequate parking and buffering. ■ Access for industrial use will require numerous driveways which logistically may prove difficult for small to medium size trucks and the frequency of truck and vehicle traffic onto CR 48. ■ There is an immediate land use conflict with remaining residential uses within the core area. ■ Some but not all industrial use has the potential to use a greater amount of water, where residential use is more predictable. W1W*r_ Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 7 1 1 • • v DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 ■ Similar to water use, industrial use generates a greater number of vehicle trips during peak hours, and therefore increases conflicts resulting from access over existing Town right-of-ways and/or additional industrial road openings on CR 48. The situation is quite different in the outlying areas of the study area. The properties are far more suited to industrial growth based on both land use and zoning considerations. Generally, the vacant properties may be subdivided into industrial sites that have sufficient area to provide attractive developments that meet the demands of modern industry. Larger land areas can be subdivided to provide suitable road access and drainage, as well as lot sizes conforming to either LI or LIO zoning requirements. On individual industrial sites, there is ample room for facility construction, required parking and landscape amenities. Further, the sites have easy access to appropriate transportation corridors. This observation is supported by the current request to create a new industrial subdivision at the intersection of Depot Lane and Middle Road that is awaiting water supply availability. The potential for land use conflicts between the residential core and the outlying industrial areas is a major planning issue that needs to be reviewed. The future expansion of industrial development throughout the study area may have a negative impact on the residential use of property within the core. Noise, traffic, and other factors associated with industrial activities may undermine the residential values of the subject properties and limit the improvement of the area. However, it should be noted that, the residential core has remained viable for many years as a neighbor to the Town's landfill. With regard to municipal land, the landfill use has ceased, and transfer and compost activities have replaced the more intense industrial activities associated with the former landfill. Future plans to re-use the landfill site for a less intense industrial use more conducive to residential housing may prove to benefit the residential core. In addition, since municipal property buffers the residential core to the north, east, and west, the opportunity to provide an appropriate transition buffer is apparent. Or Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 8 DRAFT Cutchogue Industriai Hi r....__ Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Consider Re-Zone of Residential Core to Residential R-40 From the outset of this discussion, it is concluded that some action must be taken to remedy a potential land use conflict. To allow spot industrial use within a residential area while a land use transition occurs, would impact existing residences for an undetermined amount of time. An alternative of purchase and relocation of residential occupants is discussed in Section 4.2; however, it is recognized that that a residential rezoning solution is a very cost-effective remedy. This is particularly true when considering land use factors that are discussed below. There are a number of factors that support the re-zoning of the core residential area back to a residential zoning classification. Theoretically, the rezoning efforts in 1989 to merge this residential area into the greater industrial district north of Middle Road were based on sound geographic planning principles. However, in practice, economic trends may not allow these properties to be transformed into industrial sites. The most appropriate planning strategy may be to establish planning mechanisms to strengthen the residential core, and reduce conflicts with potential industrial development in the outlying study areas. As the cost of housing in the Town of Southold continues to increase, housing options for residents of the core will become increasingly scarce, thereby increasing the value of the subject housing to the occupants. As discussed in the prior section, the potential to assemble existing residences in the core, with the limited supply of vacant sites, to create suitable industrial properties is severely limited. As a result, any possible industrial development within the core area that may occur would be on substandard lots, creating unsightly developments along the County Road 48 corridor. The visual effect would not be in conformance to the Town's stated goal of preserving the visual amenities along this corridor. Further, it would almost be impossible to achieve a well designed plan to provide road access to individual sites developed in such a haphazard, and uncoordinated manner. The argument to re-zone the core area to a residential zoning classification is strengthened by the observation that the Town of Southold is in a position to provide protection to the subject area, and limit potential land use conflicts. As indicated earlier, the Town of Southold owns all of the property surrounding the residential core of the study area. With limited costs, the Town could create landscaped buffers between the surrounding municipal properties and the residential core. It should be noted that, the plan for the new Town yard waste facility calls for perimeter buffers of a least fifty(50) feet on all sides. Further, the future re-use of the landfill to a more desirable, less intense use (than prior landfilling activities which have existed for over 60 years while residential uses have been present),would contribute to the residential quality of the core area. There are additional actions the Town of Southold could pursue in order to strengthen the residential viability of the core area. Potentially, the Town could partner with a non-profit 1�h"c 1�1, Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 9 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 housing group to construct some affordable housing units on the remaining vacant parcels. This - would strengthen the area by adding newly built units into the housing mix. Community Development funds or low-interest loans could be made available to provide incentives to improve existing residential homes, or street improvements. In addition, the SCWA may be inclined to provide public water to new residential uses in this area if the Town chooses a strategy to strengthen its residential character and provide needed housing options. The Town could pursue this through an amendment to its public water supply plan and map. The costs to the municipality under the residential zoning recommendation represent the least costly alternative to achieving a sound, economically viable land use plan for the area. The outlying areas included in the study will provide ample land for future industrial development in the Town of Southold. The core area represents only about 2.3 percent of the total industrial acreage within the industrial district north of Middle Road. Remaining acreage has the potential to be developed in a more orderly, environmentally and aesthetically compatible manner. The vision offered in the 1989 rezonings to create an industrial center within the Town to support its economic health will not be negatively impacted by the redesignation of the core area as a residential zone. In fact, the vision of providing high quality industrial growth potential on 40,000 square foot or larger industrial lots, with properly planned access and buffering, will be advanced as a result of rezoning of the core area for continued residential use. Finally, such a rezoning may result in less water use and greater vehicle trips and road openings on to CR 48. 4.2 Alternative—Maintain Industrial Zoning with Purchase of Residential Properties As an alternative to rezoning the residential core, the Town could consider purchasing all residential homes within the subject area, and providing relocation services to impacted residences. It must be noted that ultimately, this alternative may prove extremely costly to the Town. As indicated earlier in the report, the economic utility for industrial development of the core area is limited. The existing land use pattern, lot sizes and access constraints, limit the potential for high quality industrial sites. Therefore, the ability of the Town to market the area to potential industrial users, and recoup its acquisition and relocation costs may also be limited. Added to this, the cost of providing alternative housing within the Town for the dislodged residents, and providing relocation services may be prohibitive. Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 10 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 5.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion, the rezoning of core area to R-40 residential provides a solution to a known land use conflict. The solution is the lowest cost option for the Town, in view of the expected need to provide assistance to relocate existing residents. This study has noted that Town-owned land entirely surrounds this residential area, and therefore, the Town has full control over buffering and land use controls to maintain the residential area that for over 60 years contended with prior land fill activities. The residential area has not transitioned to industrial use as may have been envisioned by the prior rezoning of this area to industrial districts approximately fourteen(14) years ago. The Town could consider programs to further strengthen this residential area by providing assistance for improvements to existing residents through Community Development funds or low interest loans. An additional option exists to increase needed affordable housing stock in this area through partnering with non-profit organizations. The rezoning would eliminate a number of industrial uses within the 5.74 acre area. This action could reduce the potential demand for water supply, and also reducing the number of vehicle trips and possible road openings that would be necessary to allow access to numerous industrial use sites. This option also has the benefit of eliminating the potential for less desirable industrial growth on substandard lots that could compromise the aesthetic and transportation related aspects of the larger industrial zoned area. As a result, the remaining industrial area would be strengthened and since the core area represents only 2.3 percent of the overall industrial study area, no impact is expected due to loss of industrial zoned land. Finally, the goals of the Town Comprehensive Plan to maintain the aesthetic quality of the CR 48 corridor, and promote appropriate industrial use on lots designed to accommodate such use would be advanced. �r Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 11 DRAFT Cutchogue Industrial Area Planning Study Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 ATTACHMENTS �r Nelson,Pope&Voorhis,LLC Environmental and Planning Consultants Page 12 4 ATTACHMENT A FIGURES DRAFT CutZTiogue Industrial Area Planning Study , Route 48,Cutchogue NP&V No. 02236 ATTACHMENT B SCWA LETTER �r.

The study area consists the area hounded,by North Road on the south, Cox Lane on the east, Oregon Road on the north, and Depot Lane on the west. This area totals approximately 250 acres. This has been further refined into a primary study arca,consisting of approximately 15 single and separate properties known as the Church Lane neighborhood, totaling slightly less than six acres, and a secondary study area,which comprises the remainder of the described property. Prior to 1989,the majority of the primary study area,the Church Lane neighborhood, was zoned as Residential Agricultural. As part of the 1989 overhaul of the Town Zoning Code, the primary study area was rezoned to Light Industrial (Ll) and Light industrial Park/Planned Office Parr(LI0). This re-;=ing was in response to concerns that the:presence of a residential community immediately adjacent to the"Town Dump"presented unacceptable land use conflicts, necessitating"relocation"of the Church Lane residents. Unfortunately, the historical and cultural significance of the Church Lane neighborhood was not a paramount concern in the rezoning analysis_ The 1939 Toning code amendments also established the present zoning of the secondary study,which is LIO between the western boundary of the Church Lane neighborhood and Cox .Lane, and Light Industrial (LI)between the western boundary of the Church Lane Community and Depot Lane. 1 The purpose of this study is to examine the cultural and historical significance of the Church Lane neighborhood, determine if that significance mandates preservation of the neighborhood,and, if so,recommend appropriate zoning to ensure the continuance of this comm ullity. 2 II. History African-Americans have bcen residents of the east end of Long Island for nearly as long as the Euro-Americans. However,unlike the European settlers, virtually all of the Africans who amvcd in Ncw Ejtgland wid the eastern end of Long, Island during this early period were brought here against their will. Twenty-seven slaves were identified among 113 whites in the Soutlautd census records for 1687, "sonic of whom may have been Corchaugs but the majority of whom were Africans". These individuals were visible in eastern Long Island society, and many African and Native Americans attended European churches, such as the Cutchogue Presbyterian Church, until the nineteenth century. With the passage of the Gradual F.maneipati.on Act in 1799, enslaved New Yorkers were little by little manumitted(although some Africans and Native Americans remained legally enslaved in New York until 1827). Afiican-Americans organized churches,schools, and other organizations throughout New York, thereby meeting basic social needs and affirming a sense of community. The establishment of a chwch was usually central in the construction of community identity,and served to represent the fxeedom of Africans in the nineteenth century. Throughout Long island,African Ame ican settlements were often located (geographically)around an African Methodist Episcopal,AME 7.ion,or Baptist Church. By the late nineteenth century, many southern African-Americans had migrated to New York City,and by the early twentieth century,there was a growing population of southern African-Americans on the east end of Long Island. Like other blacks from the American cnuth, these individuals migrated north in search of Employment and better opportunities for themselves and their families. Those who traveled to the east end of Long island typically sought 3 employment in farming. By this time,farmers of Polish and Irish descent maintained farms on the North Fork alongside the few remaining descendants of the early English settlers. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, southern blacks migrated to Long Island's cast end atta lived and worked alongside the descendants of the earliest African inhabitants(enslaved and free)of the North Fork. These immigrants often attended the churches and joined the organizations that were previously established by Long Island African-Americans in the nineteenth century. In addition,as small enclaves ofAfrican-Americans settled throughout the east end, new churches and organizations were established. The migration of individuals w the north in search of farm labor following World War I is referred to as the Great Migration. Initially,many of the laborers traveled to the north for seasonal employment,but eventually,many of these migrant workers established more permanent homes for themselves and their families on Long Island. Like those before them, twentieth century Afi-ican-American immigrants created communities that often surrounded a house of worship. The Church Lane ncighbodiuml is one such community,and the only still extant in the Town of Southold,outside of the Village of Greenport. Current residents of this neighborhood include second or third generation descendants of African-American immigrants who settled in this locale in the 1920s and 1930s. These residents have extensive memories,particularly regarding family histories, of African-American life on the cast end of Tong island, and of the conununity that has come to be vurnmonly called Church Lane. Preliminary research has been unable to ascertain where most of the early twentieth century African-American immigrants resided prior to settling at Church Iane. The Cutchogue 4 Labor Camp on Cox Lane was not established until the mid 1940s, and many of the laborers lived "in tiny shacks or bungalows"on the fames where they were employed. They often met for worship in an old building(possibly an old school or church)on Oregon Road and,by 1924, they organized theFirst Baptist Church of Cutchogue. hn 1928, the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue was incorporated, and Reverend E.A.Green. Anderson Cook,John Jacobs, Gilbert Davis, William Brown, and Kelso Cosby were named its trustees. The original congregation of the First Baptist Church continued to worship in the old building on Oregon Road until funds were raised to purchase the present site on Middle Road. In a deed dated Dcccmbcr 15, 1925,five of the six trustees are named in the purchase of land on behalf of the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue. The church purchased this land, including the present site of the church, from Frank and Anna McBride for$866_ This location has been identified as "the only place in the North Fork town where whites would sell land to blacks". The McBride family is still fanning in Cutchogue, and much of their farmland remains north of the Church Lane community near Oregon Road. During the 1920s and 1930s,many of the founders and/or original congregation member. of-the First Baptist Church worked on farms owned by the McBride, Glover,Tuthill, and Wickham families. In 1929, the church began to sell portions of its property to congregation members, who in turn, established homes on the land surrounding the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue. Several deeds dating to 1929 and 1930 are evidence of the sale of stttdll portions of church ]ands to its trustees for the amount of$1.00 each. Personal communications with current and former residents of Church Lane indicates that the current properties and homes surrounding the church were inhabited by original congregation members starting around the 1930s. Wyche, 5 Taylor,Ford,Brown, and Mason are the names of some of the original African-American residents of the community_ In 1933, James and Ida Mason, both formerly of Emporia, Virginia, lived in a house behind the church on Tuthill Lanc. Also on Tuthill Lane, Bell and George"Taylor lived next to Sam and Sue Wyche Brown (currently the northernmost property within the Church Lane neighborhood west of Tuthill Lane). Reverend Green resided in the red house next to the church. Most of this property appears to have been purchased from the church in the 1930s. To the east of the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue,two lots are presently inhabited by the Taylor family. Around the 19203 and 1930s,Junnie and Nathan Harris (ancestors of the current Taylor inhabitants)migrated to the North Fork from Virginia. The Harris' purchased the property from Mr. Wickham,a farmer, and they then moved two houses from M:attituck to the newly-purchased property. The present Town of Southold capped landfill that borders the Church Lane community on the north began operation immediately following the infamous hurricane of 19315_ Debris from the clean-up of the destruction caused by the hurricane was disposed of in this parcel, and thereafter it remained a dumping ground for the town. The residents remained in the community, even as the dump grew to encompass the entire northern border of the Church Lane nCighborhood_ The community remained predominantly African-A.mcrican throws iow the remainder of the twentieth century. Migration of laborers to the North Fork continued during this period (especially between the 1940s and 1960s), and some of the new arrivals came to reside in the Church Lane neighborhood. Needless to say, living conditions were better here than in the 6 labor camps and farms comprising the so-called"Migrant Alley"of the North Fork For African-Americans, life on the east end of Long Island during the twentieth century was constantly touched by racism. In the 1910s and 1920s, the Ku Klux Flan had an active chapter on the North Fork,iuid some of the local farmers and businessmen were participants in the activities of this notorious organisation. Exclusionary housing practices were prevalent in many areas of Long Island throughout much of the twentieth century, and organized efforts aimed at "preserving existing housing patterns" were not uncommon. Many African Americans on Long Island, like the inhabitants of Church Lane, had limited residential options during this period. They bought land where they could, and in the case of Church Lane,were successful in establishing strong, cohesive, and persistent communities. The contemporary Church Lane neighborhood descends directly from the original community formed by African-American farm workers in the 1920s and 1930s. Descendants of the original settlers reside in the community, and arc employed in a variety of occupations. Many residents are actively involved in the First Baptist Church, a congregation that has now grown to include residents of various communities in the Towns of Southold, Riverhead, and Southampton. 7 III Comtuuuitj Planning and Toning 1..ExistiuuatQ Zoning The purpose of the LIO classification is to encourage the development of planned industrial and office park uses, while the Ll district promotes general industrial development. Another dificrence between the two industrial classifications is the minimum lot requirement for each district, which is 40,000 squats feet for the LI district, as compared with 120,000 square feet for the LIO district. furthermore,the L10 district has a more restrictive tot coverage requirement relative to the Ll zone, with the LIO district allowing twenty(20) percent coverage and the Ll gone allowing a greater coverage of thirty(30)percent. The 1989 rezoning created a land use issue for the Church Lane Neighborhood. This arca already had a significant number of autt-industrial uses,including nine(9)residential homes and the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue. At the time of the zoning revisions, it was anticipated that, eventually,these uses would be phased out and converted to industrial uses. However,it is evident that this assumption has not been realized, with non-conforming residential uses remaining in the Church Lane Neighborhood today. 2_ Existing Land Use The Church Lane Neighborhood is presently comprised of non-industrial uses,including nine (9)single-family residences and the First Baptist Church of Cutchugue. The residential homes are situated on relatively small lots, ranging from approximately 10,000 to 22,000 square feet. Dispersed throughout the residential area are three(3)vacant parcels,which are each approximately one-half acre in size. At least two of the three vacant parcels have been purchased by individuals 8 wishing to develop the parcels fof industrial use. Within the focus area, there are a total of twelve (12) separate tax parcels, as well as two transportation related right-of-.mays owned by the Tow,,.. Outside of the residential arca, land use consists of a mixture of commercial,industrial and municipal activities. A multi-tenant industrial facility occupied by abroad range of commercial and industrial uses lies at the intersection of Middle Road and Cox lane. Extending northward along Cox's Lane,the land use pattern is comprisW ofvarious commercial and industrial activities. Such activities include air asphalt company, a gavel and mixing operation,mari�ae services,a sanitation and transfer station and auto related businesses. The remaining perimeter of the study area is dominated by farm use and relaxed buildings, with the exception of a junkyard located to the west of the intersection of Oregon Road and Cox Lane. Included in this perirrteter are the mmairuirg piuperdes along Oregon Road and Depot Lane. Essentially,the farm uses extend from the perimeter roads to the former Southold landfill,which is central to the study area. 3. Planning and Zoning Analysis The potential for properties in the Church Lane Neighborhood to be used for industrial purposes as envisioned in the 1989 re-zonings is severely limited, especially compared with the larger tracts of industrial land with no established industrial uses present in the remainder of the study arca_ This determinntiou is evidenced by the lack of industrial uses within the Church Lane Neighborhood to date. As Nelson,Pope& Voorhis,LLC has documented in their previous study of the Cutchogue Industrial Area, industrial use within the Church Lane Neighborhood has proven difficult for several 9 reasons related to the current land use pattern within the residential area and the economics that guide land development. Due to the availability and size of the vacant parcels, and the cost of purchasing improved residential properties,the ability for an industrial developer to assemble a site for industrial use is severely limited. Because parcel sizes range from 10,000—22,000 square feet, or less than one acre, and therefore do not individually rueet the minimum lot size required by zoning,a developer would have to purchase at least two or three parcels to achieve a 40,000 square- foot industrial site. Consolidation of properties is costly and potentially difficult duc to dic remaining residential uses. In order to achieve a one acre industrial site,the assemblage costs to a developer would most likely exceed two hundred thousand dollars($200,000). As a result, future potential developers could be expected to seek variances to construct buildings and uses on lots smaller in size than intended by coning. Industrial uses on smaller lots could result in numerous small uses,with inadequate parking and buffering and access constraints. Conversely, the properties in the outlying areas of the Church Lane Neighborhood are far more suited to industrial growth based on both land use and zoning considerations. For example, (fit vacant properties may be subdivided into industrial sites with sufficient arca to accommodate modern industrial developments. Larger laid arcs can be subdivided to provide suitable road access and drainage,as well as lot sizes conforming to either LI or LIQ zoning requirements. Ample room for facility construction,required parking and landscape amenities exist on individual industrial sites. In addition, the sites have easy access to appropriate transportation corridors. This observation is suppurtcd by the request that was made by a developer last year to create a new industrial subdivision at the intersection of Depot Lane and Middle Road. The future expansion of industrial development throughout the primary study area may have 10 a negative impact on the fmiduntial uses in the Church Lane Neighborhood. Factors associated with industrial activities such as noise and traffic may undemiine the residential values of the subject properties and limit the improvement of the arca_ Quality of life poses another concern for inviting industry into a residential area. Based on surveys conducted for this study, residents of the Church Lane Neighborhood are angered by the potential for industrial uses to develop within their residential community. Many are worried that industrial development will degrade their quality of life and are concerned about the safety of their children. 4.Conformance of Land Use to Master Plan The t'own's vision for its future is defined by a clearly articulated set of goals. These goals were described in the Town's 1985 Master Plan Update and reaf limed in later reports commissioned by the Town. The Master Plan Update was develupud by the Town Planning board based on the work of its Consultants and input from the public. This Plan was the Planning Board's reconunendation to the Town Board_ The Master Plan Update proposed that"the goals of the Town reflect the Town's interest in preserving and enhancing the natural and built environment and providing opportunities for a level of growth and expansion of the economic base that is compatible with the existing scale of development, availability of water, existing sensitive environment of the Town and its historic heritage." included in these goals were preservation of the existing housing stock and providing the opportunity for the development of a variety of housing types. The patter of land use proposed in the Master Plan Update encouraged residential development to locate in and iround existing hamlets"in order to preserve and cuhanm the historic and cultural centers of the community,to support existing commercial centers, to provide locations 11 for moderately priced Dousing and to encourage efficient and effective provision of community facilities and services" and for commercial development to locate in hamlet ccahters. The Plan identified Mattituck,Cutehogue,Southold and Orient as major hamlet centers that should"continue to be the residential-business-service centers of the Town". The 1989 zoning contradicted many of the proposed goals in the Master Plan Update in that large areas of residential zoning tVom within the study area were removed, thereby attempting to phase out residential uses in the area and remove existing housing stock, while dcgradiing the historic, cultural area known as the Church Lane Neighborhood and diminishing the area's "sense of place" for its residents. Furthermore, by allowing industrial uses to develop alongside the residential core of the study area, the new zoning failed to provide an adequate transition area between the hannlet industrial and residential disuicts. The present land use situation in the study area shows non-conformance to the Town's Master Plan. Remning the area for residential use would enable the Church Lane Neighborhood to thrive as an established residential community with extensive history and vibrant culture, thereby aiding the Town in realizing its vision for the future. 5.Toning Alternatives Proper zoning for the Church Larne.Neighborhood is necessary in order to protect and enhance the residential quality of life for its residents_ 11iis could be aceompliched by rezoning the Church Lane Neighborhood to the Low Density Residential R-40 designation. The purpose of the R-40 district is to provide areas for residential development where existing neighborhood characteristics, water supply and environmental conditions will allow for the development of approximately one(1)dwelling per acre and where open space and agriculmral preservation are not critical. 12 To allow spot iidustrial use within any residential area while a land use transition occurs would negatively impact existing residences for an undetermined amount of timc. Industrial development within the existing residential area would be on substandard lots, creating unsightly developments along the CR48 corridor—a visual effect that would not be in conformance to the Town's stated goal of preserving its visual amenities along this corridor. By rezoning the Chcuvit Lane Neighborhood 1br residential use, the cultural integrity, existing housing stock, historical value, "sense of place"and quality of life of the residential arca would be preserved. This would be consistent with the Town's goals for its future, as outlined in the Master Plan Update. Rezoning the Church Lane Neighborhood for residential use could create an opportunity to construct some affordable housing units, consistent with the existing density in the Church bane community, on the vacant parcels within the residential area. The Town could accomplish this by partnering with a public/private;partnership using town,county and state resources, and,if necessary, the expertise of a non-profit housing group. Community Development funds could be dedicated towards neighborhood infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks and roads. The Town's vision to expand its inventory of industrial properties and strengthen its economic base would not be undermined by the retuning,due to the fact that industrial use would continue to develop in the large tracts of land surrounding the Church Lane Neighborhood,where the Ll and LIO designations would remain. The residential at a represents only about 2.3 percent of the total industrial acreage within the industrial district in Cutchogue. Remaining acreage bras the potential to be developed in a more orderly,environmentally and aesthetically compatible manner. In addition, the vision of providing high quality industrial growth potential on 40,000 square foot 13 or larger lots,with appropriate acc ms and buffering,would be advanced as a result of tate rezoning_ 14 IV EffAronmental Planning As noted in the introduction, the primary justification for the 1989 rezoning of the Church Lane neighborhood was the existence of land use conflicts with the"Town Dump"- The adverse impacts of landfills on a groundwater, air quality, and quality of life were well documented, and the re2oning was a well- intentioned, albeit misguided, attempt to resolve these impacts on adjoining residential property. Clearly, the rezoning did not have the intended effect. In addition,there have been some significant Iand use changes in the secondary study area which require reevaluation of the conflicts identified in 1989. Following is a discussion of the various environmental issues with emphasis on their relevancy to the Church Lane neighborhood. ].Landfill. As a result of state environmental regulations, the town landfill has been phased ont and the property rerncdiatcd. The entire landfill area has been furnished with an impervious cap to prevent the generation of additional leachate. The Church Lame nei,ghborhood has been coiuiected to the Suffolk County Water Authority water mains, so the concern over private well pumping from leachate contaminated groundwater has been alleviated. There is a significant trend on Long Island for remediated municipal landfills to transition from eyesore to asset. As an example,the Town of(Hempstead landfill now supports a very popular park and nature preserve. At the present time, Southold's capped landfill has been covered with topsoil and seeded, and is in a grow-in period ofturfgrass establishment. The capped landfill will not support structures,which severely limits the use to which it can he put. However,it is ideally suited for park and open space purposes, and has the potential to evolve into a premiere town park facility. it shnuld now be IS considered a potential asset to nearby residential areas, including the Church Lane neighborhood. 2.Town Solid Waste Transfer and&cycling_Center. This facility is located immediately behind the easternmost parcels of the Church Lane neighborhood. The major complaints regarding the solid waste and recycling operations are noise and,when wind blows from the north, trash blowing onto the residential properties. At the present time,the town is considering the construction of a noise barrier along the northern boundary of the residential properties,immediately adjacent to the transfer station. Such a structure will provide significant noise abatement for the residents. In addition, the height of the barrier, estimated at 12 feet, will significantly cut down on the ability of windblown trash to cross the property line. As an additional long term mitigation measure,the Town should consider an evaluation of best management practices which may be available for implementation,which could possibly improve operation of this facility. 3.Town (compost Facility. The Town yard waste composting facility is located immediately west and north of the western portion of the Church Lane community. The primary concerns with this operation are those related to air quality.including odors:end mold spores. In addition, residents have complained that poor drainage at the compost facility causes water to pond,facilitating the breeding of mosquitoes. Part of the problem with the composting operation is that the size of the facility has been reduced by the staging area for the landfill capping operation. Now that the capping is complete,the compost operation should run more efficiently. The Town has established a vegetative 16 screen between the residences and the compost.facility. This border should be maintained and reinforced to provide maximum density. The Town should address the drainage issue and aggressively address the mosquito problem, including the placement of BT larvacide in any;areas of standing water on a weekly basis. 1n addition, as a long term mitigation measure, the Town should undertake an evaluation of best management practices for the compost facility, to deLCM1i11C if procedures or equipment upgrades could prevent odor generation. 17 V. Conclusions and Recommendations The Church Lane neighborhood is oue of the few African-American communities in the Town of Southold. It was established in the early part of the last century, and the families who have maintained homes there since that time have cultural roots to the establishment of the North Fork's coveted agricultural industry_ The continued existence of this unique historic settlement is leooardized by its current industrial zonin classification. Previous land use conflicts between the Town landfill an the residcntial use of the Church Lane neighborhood are greatly reduced, as the landfill has been capped, and this facility must be considered a tong tern, open space and parkland asset to the neighborhood. The solid waste transfer and recycling center, and the yard waste composting facility still provide land use conflicts, but these are being mitigated by provisions for a noise barrier and a vegetative border_ Additional mitigation is anticipated as best management practices arc implemented, and as technology for transfer, recycling, and composting improves. It is clear from the analysis that,on the basis of cultural resources, land use, and the Town's established planning goals, the Church Lane neighborhood, including the two residences east of the transfer station entrance, should be rezoned to Residential R-40. 1$ APPENDIX Cultural/Historical Research Report QAPII )JEC'1\2003\2003320\ChurebU-nt:ScudYdrsA.d- 19 RECEIVED _ G 171 X6 �a 50 � ��� - �S E KvV CI LOJC yA,/K f5 ? �` MAR 2 5 2003 Southold Town tlelkspeak for the residents of the Church Lane Hamlet. Since August we have been addressing the Town Board to preserve the integrity of our community. An outpouring of public expression has not moved them. A petition with over 400 names has not moved then. A series of suggestions and compromises has not moved them. Deprivation of our constitutional rights still has not moved them. Finally, in March they decided that we should have a private meeting with Supervisor Josh Horton and board members Bill Moore and Craig Richter. That meeting was to be `private" so that we could really speak to each other, and there was to be no reporter present. We had the first meeting on March 4. At that time, the Board members came with no information about anything, Although they had a resolution asking for a change in zoning from light industrial to residential/office since mid November, they had no "information" about it. Bill Moore, who is the Board member responsible for zoning said, "he'd have to look into'if'. When we asked if there were any information about the composting site, Josh Horton told us there was no information. He promised that they would be present at our next private meeting with the answers to our requests. We checked to see if March 18 was all right and were told it was. Two days later, in Suffolk Times there was an article and a picture of the proposed plan for the composting site. Of course, there had been no information given to us, and no involvement of the residents about the plan. The following week in the Town Notes it was reported that the Board was looking into an "Overlay" which would give us the right to rebuild if our property were destroyed but would permit industries to be built in our faces. At the March 4 meeting, that was the suggestion of the realtor Mr. McCormack, to which we had replied that would not preserve the integrity of our community. Zoning for Residential/Office is a compromise that gives us what we need and the commercial buyers some of what they need. In good faith, we came to the March 18 meeting that Josh Horton and Board members had agreed to. Josh Horton was not there- he was on vacation, although he had not notified us or made any effort to change the meeting date. Bill Moore was not there because "he had a conflicting appointment". Craig Richter met with us alone and what he wanted to talk about was the plan for the composting site, which we still had no input in.. We left that meeting realizing that we were still being treated in the same f racist way the town has been treating us for almost 100 years. More recently we have learned that Board members are charging that it is only Viola Cross who wants a zoning change. This despite the petition signatures of all of the residents of the hamlet, despite our meeting with the Board, despite our speaking out at public meeting. This is a further attack of Southold Town Board to divide and conquer. We do not believe that the residents of Southold Town support the way the Town Board has been treating us. We do not believe that the residents of Southold Town are racist or that they would want their community to be seen as racist. We do believe that the Town's actions have resulted in disparate impact upon the town's minority community. Since we cannot get this Town Board to!give us the respect and decency they provide to other residents who petition them on behalf of their communities, we ask the citizens of Southold Town to marshall support for us. At this time we request that there be a moratorium on anything concerning the landfill. We request that this moratorium remain until full analysis has taken place and all of the proper agencies and stakeholders have been brought into this site, and that all environmental and civil rights laws be complied with included but not limited to State Environmental Quality Review act (SEQRA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Also the moratorium should exist until all valid concerns be addressed and we receive full restoration of property rights. The Church Lane Hamlet wishes to state that the basis for this request includes these terms but is not limited to them. We also request this moratorium until the town attorney meets with our attorney, Joel R Kupferman of the New York Environmental Law &Justice Project. To: Councilman Thomas Wickham From: Southold Town Anti-Bias Task Force Re: Resolution to Resolve Church Lane Concerns Date: January 2, 2003 In rezoning the 5.74 acres, the core area of the Church Lane Hamlet, where residents have their homes, from Agricultural to Light Industrial... 1. The Town Board has taken away property rights of the residents .. II. Since, in accordance with Town Code, Article#24, 100-241, properties zoned industrial lose the right to expand their homes or to rebuild if a fire destroys their home ... III. The Town Board has, in this regard, abrogated the protections of the New York State and United States Constitutions... Therefore: The Anti-Bias Task Force offers the following Resolution: 1. That the properties encompassed by the 5.74 acres on which residents of the Church Lane Hamlet reside, be rezoned .. IL That the zoning be changed from Light Industrial to Residential Office ... III. In accordance with Article # VII, 100-70, "The purpose of the Residential Office (RO) District is to provide a transition area between business areas and low- density residential development along major roads which will provide opportunity for limited nonresidential uses in essentially residential areas while strongly encouraging the adaptive reuse of existing older residences, to preserve the existing visual character of the town and to achieve the goal(s) of well-planned environmentally sensitive, balanced development, which the town has determined to be desirable." IV. Section# 100-71 details the Use Regulations. Therefore: The Anti-Bias Task Force formally requests that the Southold Town Board enact such zoning change from Light Industrial to Residential Office ... I. Which protects the Hamlet community, who in all respects deserve consideration since past Town Boards have been insensitive and irresponsible in dealing with the residents ... II. And offers fair opportunity to those commercial interests who, in good faith, have bought property in the area in the expectation of realizing a profitable use .. The Supervisor and the Town Board Members are enjoined to enact such a zoning change from Light Industrial to Residential Office, in accordance with Town Code Article VII, 100-70 and 100-71, at the next Town Board Meeting on Tuesday, January 7, 2003. In this Resolution, the Anti-Bias Task Force is following its mission to protect minorities who have suffered mistreatment in Southold Town, and to advocate legislation in their behalf. SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD PUBLIC HEARING November 19, 2002 8:00 P.M. HEARING ON THE INCREASE AND IMPROVEMENT OF FACILITIES OF THE SOUTHOLD SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD. Present: Supervisor Joshua Y. Horton Justice Louisa P. Evans Councilman William D. Moore Councilman Craig A. Richter Councilman John M. Romanelli Councilman Thomas H. Wickham Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville Town Attorney Gregory A. Yakaboski COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: WHEREAS, it has been determined by the Town Board (the "Board") of the Town of Southold ("Town"), Suffolk County, New York, on the 22nd day of October, 2002, to consider the increase and improvement of facilities of the Southold Solid Waste Management District ("District"), consisting of the improvement of the certain piece or parcel (SCTM #1000-096- 1-2, reputed owner Francis I. McBride) containing seventeen acres, plus or minus, immediately adjacent on the west side of the Southold Landfill, in Cutchogue, heretofore acquired and now owned by said Town Board in the name of the District for the purpose of relocating the District's existing yard waste operations and to conduct composting and brush collection activities, as well as to provide material to complete the capping and closure of the Southold Landfill, and to obtain additional space for future District activities, including grading and improving of said property and purchase of equipment, machinery and apparatus required therefor ("Project"), at the estimated maximum cost of$3,350,000, being an increase of such cost in the amount of$750,000. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board will meet at the Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, at 8:05 o'clock P.M. (Prevailing Time), on November 19, 2002, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing to consider said increase and improvement of facilities (the Project) of the District, as hereinabove described, at the increased estimated maximum cost of$3,350,000, with an anticipated reimbursement of approximately 50% of the total cost of the Project by the Department Environmental Conservation (DEC) of the State of New York at the conclusion of the Project. At said public hearing, the Town Board will hear all persons interested in said subject matter thereof concerning the same. And I have before me a certificate, this has been posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin board. Notice that this has been mailed to all property owners in the Solid Waste District and I think 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 2 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond many of you have gotten this notice that has been mailed out officially to everybody in the district. And there must be a notification that it was in the newspaper? There it is, a certification - that it appeared as a legal in the Suffolk Times. Supervisor? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, Councilman Wickham. In conversation with the Board _ today in the work session, a number of Board members including myself, heard that there was a bit of confusion in regard to the notice of public hearing about the project, at the landfill-the compost facility. I apologize from the Supervisor's Office if there was any confusion in the language of that. So what I have here and I think that there are more of these sheets that I am going to read from, are available out where the agendas are available. And what I would just like to do is to take a couple of moments to clarify what the purpose of this proposed increase in bonding for is in regard to the compost side of the landfill. As you all have been following the landfill project, there are what has basically been considered the landfill project but as the landfill project started out, it is actually two pieces. And two separate funds and two bonds that have been moved forward. One is for the capping project, which is the covering of the landfill and the other side is actually for the development of, an acquisition of property to develop the compost facility. What this hearing is on tonight is extending the bond or increasing the bond by $750,000 for the compost facility. And moving forward with this, I would also like to explain how those two relate because at the end of the day, the overall closure of the project, the amount of money that will have been spent putting those two projects together will be approximately $1,000,000 under budget. So extending or increasing this bond as proposed still brings the Town in about $1,000,000 under budget, so it realizes a savings of about $1,000,000 on the overall project. And I am just going to read some bullet points off of this. As we all know, the reason for the hearing is to solicit public input on the matter of authorizing the $750,000 increase in the bond that is funding the development of the compost site adjacent to the landfill. The overall impact and how it relates to the project is a financial savings and the combined Capital Projects will also help us to maximize reimbursement from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. There is a program at the State DEC that makes us eligible through this project for reimbursement. So New York State is helping us out on the reimbursement, the financial side of the Capital Project and the reimbursement that we are eligible for is 50% on the Compost side of that project. A little bit of background, the original bond estimated total cost of the compost project at about $2.6 million with a planned excavation of four feet (this is on the compost side). After purchase of the property, DEC suggested a deeper excavation in order to lower the profile of the facility. Two major factors that led to the Board's decision to have this public hearing is that sand and gravel from the compost site could be used in the capping project adjacent landfill, offsetting the use of more expensive material from alternate sources. So we actually were able to utilize much of our own sand and gravel for the capping process, the amount of fill that we had to place on top of the landfill. All compost site costs eligible for 50% reimbursement from New York State Recycling Grant Program. The bond increase reflects additional costs to excavate and screen the sand, provide for public access over the landfill cap and meet certain new DEC requirements. As a result of the bond increase, should this go forward, is that we will realize full potential New York State reimbursement-a total of$1.7 million over $400,000 for sand related costs alone. Retaining thousands of cubic yards of sand for future use or sale which is anticipating more than $200,000 in value, insuring its eligibility to provide a permitted yard waste compost site to serve the public. The Town is not 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 3 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond purchasing any additional property and the reason that I mention this is these are some of the questions that were posed to me in my travels throughout Town in relation to this public hearing. The Town is not purchasing any additional property, it is not expanding its operations, it is not increasing in its total costs. So we actually will be realizing a savings. That is basically what has been put together and is out there in the hall. We will move forward with the public hearing on the proposal to increase the bond as it pertains to the compost facility. I will offer the floor to members of the public that would like to address the Town Board on this specific public hearing. ALICE HUSSIE: Alice Hussie, Southold. This was a lousy letter, I haven't been on the Board for two years and I guess I will never be able to take off the mantle of having something to do with the landfill. I have had a number of calls saying `what does this mean?' You did clear up something but let's get to the bottom line. It is $750,000 more. What are we getting for the $750,000? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: You are getting more sand and gravel that was used on top of the landfill for the capping process. ALICE HUSSIE: But it is our own sand and gravel. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Yeah but if we didn't have the sand and gravel we would have to go out and purchase it elsewhere. We would have to go out on the open market and purchase the sand, the gravel and the topsoil. ALICE HUSSIE: That is a little much. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: No, actually it would have cost us more, purchasing it outside our own property. ALICE HUSSIE: It would have. Right, right. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: So there is a savings right there by using our own. Because we didn't have to purchase it. ALICE HUSSIE: But why would we have to have a$795,000 bond to use our own sand? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Because it costs money to excavate the sand, you have to screen the sand and you know the process with the capping. How there is five different layers of dirt on top of the capping, you have stone, you have loam, you have screen sand, you have unscreened sand, you have topsoil on top of that and woodchips on top of that. So the process of excavating that sand, going two feet deeper as the DEC requests... ALICE HUSSIE: They always throw something else in, don't they? 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 4 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: And the screening, the screening costs us quite a bit and in the end we were able to take some of the expenses that were originally put under the capping proposal and shift it over to the compost side, which again then allows us to apply for 50% reimbursement from the DEC. ALICE HUSSIE: Yes, I read this word, it says where eligible for approximately which is loop hole language. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Yeah, eligible, we can apply. Is the money guaranteed? No, we don't know that and I know that. ALICE HUSSIE: The State is in such a misery that they can't pay the insurance thing, how are they going to pay this? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: But I would rather be able to apply for it then not have the opportunity to apply for it. ALICE HUSSIE: Alright. Wandering through town there is a rumor that they are going to re-do the recycling area. Is that part of this? By any chance? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: No. ALICE HUSSIE: If you do that,that would be another bond? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Right, if that is done. ALICE HUSSIE: Okay. Thank-you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: I will ask and again, I did not mention this at the beginning of the meeting but with so many people in the audience, I would ask that we limit our comments to three minutes per person. In essence, to give everyone a chance to speak that would like to speak. SAM MCCULLOUGH: Good evening, members of the Board and Mr. Supervisor. I am Sam McCullough, 8200 Cox Lane in Cutchogue. Any money spent to finish off the landfill project, whether it is adding the composting facility, gaining fill from that to cap off the old landfill is not complete without some allocation for extending the water main down Cox Lane. Our wells are polluted; it is definitely a result of the landfill. The Suffolk County Water Authority says the cost to the Town will be $45,000 on a $3.35 million project. Over the years we have been stonewalled completely by the Town Board until our recent meeting with you and I know that is what got the wheels here moving. But this needs to be finished off. We have got children down there, we have water that the Health Department tells us don't drink, don't cook with, don't bathe in. The Health Department says this is definitely the result of Landfill leech aid. We can't rent our houses, we can't sell our houses, we are stuck. I spent $3,000 buying water treatment equipment; I will have spent nearly$3,000 in the last two years maintaining that equipment. It is 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 5 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond still not adequate. We need water mains. The entire Town has benefited from the use of the Landfill, for a period of over 50 years. $45,000 in payback for that is not too much to ask, I don't believe. Thank-you very much. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Mr. McCullough, thank-you for your comments and myself and I know members of the Board, feel as you do. I actually brought it up today at the work session. It was on the agenda, we have a meeting with the Suffolk County Water Authority and the Health Department, I believe it is December 12. With Vito Manay who is the Director of the Health Department, Steve Jones-we are going to work together to get this issue resolved. Thank- you. ELIZABETH BLAKE: Elizabeth Blake, 800 Lighthouse Road. I think it is exciting news that there is this $1,000,000 over or something over budget that was extra money.... SUPERVISOR HORTON: I mentioned $1,000,000 under. ELIZABETH BLAKE: That is great, that is great. I am sorry. My naive question is how much of that money is going to be allocated to compensate the Afro-American families who as I understand it, didn't even vote on whether or not this was to be re-zoned? I am sure that some, I am sure that a fair amount is set aside for them. But because I know that you have done that already, so it is naive. But how much is, they are the ones who are suffering and it seems to me that it is not up to you nor to me nor to most of these people here to say that yes that is fine or no, it isn't. I don't live there, I haven't lived there, I wasn't there, I didn't build my house there, I didn't raise my family there. They did. I would like to compensate the people who are paying the price? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else care to address the Town Board? NADIA CHIGEROVITCH: Same person, same address. Nadia Chigerovitch, 205 Brook Lane. I second what was just said and I just want to know if it would, the only person I know up there-I don't know any person up there except for John-I don't think that this would have happened to me and I want to know whether,would it have happened to me, would it have been possible? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: What is it? NADIA CHIGEROVITCH: Exactly what, I am sure that you can be more articulate, re-zoning? Without my actually knowing what was going on? I think that I would have been told and I just want to know whether or not I would have been. And I pray your indulgence in answering that question because I don't think that it would have, for obvious reasons. Okay? SILVIA MARTIN: My name is Silvia Martin and I live on Tuthill Lane in Cutchogue. And I actually live right by where the, by the landfill. And like it is kinda hard like living there because like first we have the smell of the landfill and now we have the smell of the compost and it is like, we can't even hang our clothes out on the line without it smelling like compost and 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 6 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond garbage. Have any of you guys woken up to the smell of garbage, of compost? No, you guys wake up to the smell of green grass. And like, we wake up and smell compost. We can't even have the kids go outside and play because it smells so bad. And when it hot outside it smells worse. We have air-conditioners but it doesn't stop the smell from coming in. What are you - guys going to do about that? Should we play inside? Thank-you. BILL BRENT: My name is Bill Brent, I live on Oregon Road. I have a question, you are not dumping and holding any more garbage at the dumps, is that correct? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. BILL BRENT: It is now a transfer station, is that correct? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. BILL BRENT: Why can't you transfer compost as well as garbage, I think that if your management was a little more efficient you can cart the compost out. It is still waste, it is still - garbage, people are going to suffer. It is going to look like a strip-mining site as well. Have you thought about that? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes. BILL BRENT: And? SUPERVISOR HORTON: And the Board is under obligation to complete this project. BILL BRENT: Wait. What project are you obligated to complete? Making compost? Landfill? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: The hearing tonight is regarding completion of the physical works of this project. It doesn't really obligate us to conduct composting on this site. It does say that it will enable us to complete the site, it will complete the covering of the old landfill, we can get the permits that we need from the DEC to have completed all of this job. It doesn't commit - us to actually conducting compost on the site. BILL BRENT: But you will be dumping it there? On the site, yes or no? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: There is a collection of leaves and things but it is not... BILL BRENT: Which would become? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: It would become compost, if we actually take up that operation. BILL BRENT: Well, that is my question. 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 7 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: And that is the plan at the moment. BILL BRENT: Have you considered at all transferring it out of the area? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: No. BILL BRENT: Why not? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: That is not true, we have looked at.... BILL BRENT: If you are not, if you are transferring out other refuse and garbage, why can't you consider transferring out the leaves and what would become compost? SUPERVISOR HORTON: It is an idea and it is a good idea and it is one that actually... BILL BRENT: You are talking about it is going to cost you... SUPERVISOR HORTON: If I could answer your... BILL BRENT: It is going to cost you (inaudible) and you will get $200,000 in return? I don't know but in my book that is not good business. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Actually, at the end of the day, the completion of the project, it will be a much larger savings realized but to answer your question sir, the Board is looking at options of not because I don't believe that the Town should be in the business of composting. And I think that the Board is looking at options similar to what you are referring to. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Of shipping it out. But every time that you ship something out there is a cost related to that also. BILL BRENT: I understand but there is a cost... COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Absolutely. BILL BRENT: Keep it aesthetically as well as you know, all of the problems with the environment. SUPERVISOR HORTON: You are absolutely correct. So we are reviewing and looking for options as to how to limit the amount, limit the actual facility as it stands. And conduct business more similar in the way to what you are suggesting. BILL BRENT: You have to do that because it is going to look like a strip-mining site. And you know that this is one of the few pockets in the North Eastern seaboard where it is still farmland. Right? And what you don't want to do is you don't want to have it over-developed whether it is 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 8 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond residential or industrial. And believe it or not, I don't think that anyone here wants to live near a strip-mining site. Thank-you. _ SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board? - HARVEY STRANGE: Harvey Strange, I am from the Village of Greenport. What I want to ask you, Waste Management. Your lease is about ready to run out down there on the waste plant, isn't it? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Are you referring to the Scavenger Waste Plant, Mr. Strange? HARVEY STRANGE: Right. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Actually, yes. But what you are referring to is not in regard to the - public hearing to the public hearing that is currently underway. HARVEY STRANGE: Isn't this waste and management? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is a separate district. This is the Solid Waste District and what you are referring to is the Scavenger Waste District. HARVEY STRANGE: Well, I received one of your letters. That is why I came up here to address the Board on this. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Are you addressing us on the proposal to increase the bond by $750,000 for the compost project? HARVEY STRANGE: Well, the way that I look at it now plus, well eventually you are going to have to put actually systems in there for all this stuff that you have down there, wouldn't you? Some kind of systems? SUPERVISOR HORTON: At the Scavenger Waste Facility? HARVEY STRANGE: Right. SUPERVISOR HORTON: I will answer your, I will speak to your question. It is not on this public hearing but we will have to dismantle that sometime in the next two to six years. HARVEY STRANGE: Two to six years. Alright, I see when they complete the dump, the dump is completely covered now or do they have more coverage to do? On the dump? SUPERVISOR HORTON: There is a bit more capping to do, yes,the finished top. 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 9 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond HARVEY STRANGE: Over on the north end there is still a big whole where we used to mine out of there, they are going to just fill that hole in? Over there on the north side, northeast side. SUPERVISOR HORTON: No. HARVEY STRANGE: That stays just like it is? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. HARVEY STRANGE: What about the hole over towards Route 48? What is going in there? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The compost side? The 17 acres over on the west side of the landfill? HARVEY STRANGE: The land that you bought from McBride? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Right, that is what we are discussing about. That is the proposed compost side of the project. HARVEY STRANGE: Alright. All of the compost is going to go into that hole there and is going to be transferred out? Is that how this works? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The proposal now is some of it would be transferred out, some of it would be sold locally, some of it would be given away free to the residents. HARVEY STRANGE: Alright. How about all of the sand and the gravel? That is heaped up there on both sides. Where is that going to go? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: A lot of that sand is still going to be needed. There probable will be a surplus, some sand left when we are done. We don't know how much at this point, we have to finish the capping, we have to finish the slopes on the side of the excavated piece of property. We need the DEC to sign off on the whole project before we can determine if any of the sand and gravel is surplus. So nothing is going to go anywhere until we get an approved, we get an approved project from the DEC that we are done. HARVEY STRANGE: Alright. Now, down there I see quite a few vent pipes sticking out of the ground. What is that, venting methane? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Yes. HARVEY STRANGE: Very few pipes venting all that methane? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: That is right. 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 10 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond - HARVEY STRANGE: Well, there is (inaudible) up there almost as big as this room, some as big as this side of this whole outlet here. I wonder how much methane they are going to vent out of there? I can remember the time that it could be snow all over that one spot in the whole dump, - there wasn't a drop of snow and you could feel the heat going up your legs. That is a lot of - methane in there. How many times has that dump caught on fire? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: All I can say is that I am not an engineer but this is an engineer plan and the DEC approved it. HARVEY STRANGE: Well, that is what they should have told you about. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Well, we have to follow their lead. - HARVEY STRANGE: That is true but that is what they should have told you about before they even started capping that dump. The dump should have been re-dug out all over again. Then started back all over again. Instead of trying to bury all of that stuff, now they have done capped it, there is nowhere for that methane to escape. That little fuel pipe in there, well, (inaudible) it isn't going to do nothing. When they get plugged up, what are you supposed to do then? You are back right to square one. The whole thing should have been dug up. And started all over again. Stuff should have been sifted, they got all chemicals barrels down there that were crushed with chemicals still in it, buried. Well, you haven't got anything but a powder keg down there now. That's it. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, Mr. Strange. Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing? BARBARA MOORHOUSE: My name is Barbara Moorhouse, I live in Greenport. I just want to make sure that I am clear on this. You are going to dig up 17 acres in order to get sand and gravel to cap the landfill,right? SUPERVISOR HORTON: A portion of that. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: 17 acres. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, in essence a portion of that statement is correct. With the deeper excavation of the compost facility, the sand from that excavation will be used or will be used to finish off the capping portion of the project. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: Alright. Then this hole that you are left with, it is going to be filled with compost? SUPERVISOR HORTON: It is actually level just a deeper grade. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: A deeper hole, level hole? 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 11 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond SUPERVISOR HORTON: A deeper grade on the 17 acres. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: Well then, what are you going to do with that? Just leave that like that as a level hole? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is for the compost facility. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: But you are also saying that you may not compost there. When do you think that you will decide? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Well, we still need a spot because now that the landfill is capped, we cannot put anything else on top of the landfill. So every time that we pick up leaves or brush on the side of the road or a resident brings the leaves and brush into the landfill, we need a spot to put it. The reason, one of the reasons why we bought that 17 acres next to the landfill is for that purpose alone. If we end up not operating a compost facility or not, we still need a spot to dump the yard waste for it to then be picked up and moved out again. As you have noticed over the past couple of weeks, the Highway yard is going up and down the North Road with loads and loads of leaves and brush, picking up from every bodies yards for free, well, when they bring it into the landfill, they need a spot to put it. And that is where it is going, in this current state. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: Okay. Because this access road. Where will that be? Continuation of a road that is already there or will it be a new road? The access to the composting? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The access, you will go over the scales at the landfill and you are going to go to the left when you get off the scales and the temporary road is already in and that brings you right over to the 17 acres. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: Okay. For several months since early spring, there has been a public discussion about the zoning change in Church Lane hamlet, where these residents have for many years had to endure environmental racism and you can't call it anything else and all of this time this discussion has been taking place, you are now saying to us that you have known-you have been planning to add to this, with a composting process? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Well, this compost isn't new. We have been discussing this for over two years now. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: Did the residents know that it was going to be in their backyard? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I know 1 %2 years ago, almost 2 years ago-we had a public hearing for the original bonding of the money. And the room was as crowded as it is now, if not more crowded. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: And the people were told the exact location? 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 12 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Yes,we kept no secrets. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: And the residents of that hamlet were sent letters? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Yes, everyone in the Town was sent the letter, just like you received here today. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: And there is no place else in Southold Town to put composting? Or just to put leaves? Is there no other place? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I will say that I am open to suggestions. If someone knows a spot where we can dump some leaves. BARBARA MOORHOUSE: I've got some suggestions. Thank-you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, ma'am. Would anyone else care to address the Town - Board? SYLVIA DALY: Sylvia Daly, East Marion. Question is, why should all the leaves and the bracken and the pieces of wood from other peoples backyards in Orient, East Marion, Peconic be put in the compost heap behind these people's back yards? Or in their front yards? Why? Why is the leaves and the bracken and the wood being taken from Orient and other areas and put in - their front yards because they can't play outside and they have to smell the compost decomposing? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Ma'am if we could let, you have addressed the Board if we could let other people who haven't had a chance. Yes. Ma'am, I will give you another opportunity to speak, I just want to make sure that everybody gets their first shot as well. CAROLYN PEABODY: My name is Carolyn Peabody and I am a resident of Orient Point and I serve on the Anti-Bias Task Force and on the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission. The history of Southold Town is a history that is fraught with contradictions. It is a history that is woven with threads of compassion, of commitments to the best principles that under lie this nation. It is however, a history woven with threads that betray many of these principles. The principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The principle of equal value of all. One of the curious aspects of the concept of history is that it is somewhat misleading. The word history is usually understood to be something that connotes the past. But the truth is, as we reflect on history that has preceded us, we must recognize an important factor. We ourselves are a part of history. Making history with every decision and every non-decision. We are in fact, choosing the part of history that we wish to continue. Shall it be a bold commitment to turn away from de-valuing people and denying whole segments of the society the same rights and societal benefits that we assume for ourselves? Or shall we choose by non-action to continue a historical legacy whereby people of color were denied the dignity to choose for themselves where they wished to live? We have until now been unconcerned about the risks we were subjecting a small community of people of color. Until now we as a Town were unwilling to act to protect this 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 13 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond community from toxic spills, from flooding and from the poisoning of their water. The Town failed to consider how the location and expansion of a landfill in their backyard was indeed poor planning. But now the Town has decided that the location of people's homes close to the landfill is all of a sudden, poor planning. Indeed, an interesting turn of events. When does it become poor planning? When it could be used for commercial zoning? When the landfill is coincidentally being capped? No longer for use in dumping our garbage? Perhaps it is not a great place for people to live however, there are people who do indeed live there. Shall we dismiss them, shall we ignore that they are there? We now acknowledge that we subjected this community of Southolders to toxins, to the daily insults of our trash and its foul smells and that is to our credit. However, we now have a choice. What part shall we play in this historical legacy? Shall we compound the wrongs done in our history's past, in our Town's past that were so clearly a result of bigotry and a lack of compassion, indeed a lack of humanity? By imposing a more covert form of paternalistic bigotry, by allowing re-zoning done supposedly in the name of good planning because they shouldn't live there after all? Good planning that would allow potentially dangerous, even toxic commercial business where a residents next-door neighbor's house would be? Do we really believe that the way to amend for having rendered them invisible in the past is by rendering them invisible again? It is a popular question to ask how shall history remember us? How do we remember those whose bigotry relegated African-Americans to the margins of our Town and allowed a landfill in such close proximity to their homes? I say that we should remember them with shame and with regret and with a commitment to never, never make decisions that will continue that horrendous legacy. I say that we commit ourselves to make good to this community for the wrongs done in the past in our name. How will history remember us, how will history remember this Town Board? MIKE DOMINO: My name is Mike Domino, I live on the Old North Road in Southold. I am a member of the Anti-Bias Task Force. And you may ask why the Anti-Bias Task Force is speaking out on this issue. But in our mission statement it says that we are to organize legal and legislative efforts to eliminate all forms of bias and prejudice. I would also like to point out that the planning site plan approval, Article 25 states that the objective of the Planning Board is to undertake consideration, public health, safety and welfare, the economic impact, the comfort and convenience of the public in general and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular. Merle Levine is handing out a bulletin that basically discusses this logic at the landfill. I am not going to go over each point on that. It is pretty much self-explanatory. But basically it states that the 1985 Master Plan presented a vision for this Town. A vision that included preservation of agriculture, preservation of open space and the preservation of the existing commercial hamlets. It is our position that the 1989 decision to re-zone around the landfill, moved away from that in all three areas. It is also our position that the 1999 County Road 48 carter land use study, which had the same goals, emphasized greater setbacks on commercial properties and re-zoning of marginal properties. We consider the properties around the land-fill in this core study area, 13 parcels all ranging from 10,000 to 22,000 square feet as in that category. That is marginal. And they should therefore be rezoned to more appropriate use. And more appropriate use in our opinion is some sort of a zoning that is resident friendly. And furthermore, there are planning members, Planning Board member to the Zoning Board of Appeals stated just that, that consideration should be given to the hamlet and the residents and 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 14 - Public Hearing - Solid Waste Management District Bond recommended against the zoning. The Zoning Board of Appeals in a recent decision, 4-1 against the variance furthermore, there is a Planning Board internal memo, which stated that the 1989 rezoning was the right zoning at the time but is no longer correct because public water is available. That memo also said that if the Town, if the Town rezones or rolls back to residential, must do an environmental study to make sure that the population is not harmed. That leads to the inference that no environmental study has been done. So we are gravely concerned about the health of these, the people in this community. Finally, in the 2002 Nelson, Pope,Voorhis report- the consultant that you just recently hired on the warehousing issue that you voted on before, obviously you still have faith in that group, stated that there are 13 parcels that are substandard - and that it would be impossible for somebody to consolidate all of those into a viable commercial site. And that this would bring safety considerations to everybody in the community because there are substandards. Unless variances are being given, they are going to be developed in a haphazard way. Meaning that it would be a logistical nightmare for all of us to get into the landfill site. There will be inadequate parking on these, inadequate setbacks, it will be virtually impossible to meet you own code in relation to recharging water on commercial sites back into the ground. Lastly, the Anti-Bias Task Force has asked you to consider certain things, to consider using Community Development funds, to consider purchasing the property to make a park there because you own the property all around the site as it is. The Town could alter zoning, could invent new zoning that is resident friendly. And lastly, you could form a Blue- Ribbon Commission to explore other options. We are not telling you what to do, we are just asking you to do something that is correct and right for this community. Thank-you very much. BARBARA TAYLOR: My name is Barbara Taylor, I live in Cutchogue near the landfill. And the church has always been there and the community has always been there. And then the landfill eased in, the church is still there, the community is still there, so why now should we have a compost site ease in? In the year 2002, have we not learned anything from the mistakes of the past? Thank-you. ARTHUR TILLMAN: Arthur Tillman, Mattituck. I just want to say that ever since I have been going by that dump and that goes on for decades, that has been one embarrassment for me as a citizen for me of this Town. It has been an abomination what has been going on down there. And too many decisions are being made about the landfill without considering the people who live near the landfill. Whether it is Cox Lane or the area around Church Lane. I had an occasion to visit a lady over there, Viola Cross. An elderly woman, stopped by her house. You could tell that she had some pride, the house was redone with new siding, I saw furniture all around the yard. I said `what the heck is going on here, with all this furniture out here?' so I knocked on her door and she came to the door and she told me what happened. What happened was, because of the way that the landfill was graded all the water from the landfill came down into her basement, flooded it, to the tune of three feet, she had to remove all the furniture-an 80 year old woman about, remove all the furniture and bring it outside. She showed me her car, covered with about a half inch of dust. She said that she can't keep her car clean. She told me about another neighbor that had to move because of allergies because she couldn't breathe. I know, Josh, you made a proposal-I don't think it even got a second, about a month ago to bring it back to its original zoning which is residential. Is that correct? 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 15 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. ARTHUR TILLMAN: And it was not seconded? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. ARTHUR TILLMAN: I just would like the Board to know and the public to know that the Southold Democratic Committee went on record, unanimously to upgrade and back you in your proposal to restore it to its original zoning. Thank-you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing, if there is, what I would like to do-is if we are going to have more discussion about the neighborhood, if I may finish. If there are specific questions about the public hearing as it relates to the bond, the increase of the bond, I would like to have those comments brought forward now. And then we can move from the public hearing to the further input from the public. TOM MACLEOD: My name is Tom MacCleod, I moved to this area 19 years ago. I live in Mattituck. One of the reasons why I came to Southold Town was for the people and for the property. You know, we seem to spend a lot of time worrying about our property. And a lot less time worrying about our people. One of the treasures that we have in our community is the people. Don't ever underestimate them. In your study, have you taken into account the impact on the humans in the area? I know you have taken into account on the impact of the water, of the air have you taken into account on the impact to the humans in the area and if you haven't, do you have money set aside to do that and also to alleviate the possibility of prolonging this compost area and the discomfort that would be caused by that to help lessen that. Thank-you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, sir. SYLVIA DALY: I have been listening to this evening's meeting and we have a Board in front of us who represent us, all the Southold citizens and also go back and discuss and come up with ideas and follow through on our suggestions and our requests. Now, from what I have heard over years and years, this problem has existed and now from tonight's meeting, I am hearing that it is still being considered to putting this compost heap there. Now, what is the Board doing and what do they hear when they come to these meetings? And the second question that I have, is whether or not this rezoning that was proposed by Josh Horton, why the group who sat here week after week listening to the complaints and the requests of the citizenry, went back and did not even second his motion. What were they hearing? What were they thinking? Were they going home in their cars and rejoicing that they didn't live near the dump? Please answer that question. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I would like to respond to that, as one Board member. I don't think that there is anything that we can do at this stage to undo the fact that the dump is located where it is. I don't think that we can change that fact. We could, if the Board wishes to, address the question of the compost plans because those plans are not yet fully developed. But they have been developed, as John Romanelli said, with full community knowledge, with a hearing as well 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 16 Public Hearing - Solid Waste Management District Bond attended as this and until recently, the expectation that that would go forward. But I would like to leave you tonight with a suggestion, I don't think that it is realistic to change that zoning back - to residential. I do think that the Board has a responsibility to the families who live there. I would like to challenge you and I would like to challenge the other members of the Town Board to consider how we could meet that responsibility. And my proposal would be to accept those -_ families who would like to move from that location, I have the floor and I would like to complete my sentence, that we would assist those families to move to other parts of the Town that they find congenial and happy and I would welcome the Anti-Bias Task Force in helping to find locations where those families would be welcome and have a comfortable home. Because I don't believe that even if we change the zone to residential, that that community would be a really comfortable community that we and you could be proud of because of its adjacent location to the dump. UNKNOWN AUDIENCE MEMBER: You poisoned their land,now fix it. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: We did bring water in there a year or so ago. I am answering your question. TRACY TAYLOR: I am Tracy Taylor, I live at 21755 North Road. And you are telling me because where I live, I should move? There is so much history, there is so much culture, there is so much life that breeds in where I live. My father, my mother, my sisters and my brothers put nails and hammers to the walls to build where I live. My mother landscaped, my father landscaped. Everything in that house is my history, my childhood. You move. You stop what you are doing. I have had to live through graduation parties, a celebration of my graduation from Mattituck High School and New York University and pray to god the night before that the wind would shift and the smell soak my clothes, my air. That the seagulls would not perch on my fences to ruin my day. Amid all this, my grandmother left that house to my father and my family and I will never move, if it is up to me. There is too much there for me to move. So I will not move and I will not move and I know that there are people in the communities and my neighborhood that feel the same way. They put their every inch, their every life hard work into their houses and they are not going to move. So the least thing that you could do is stop with the compost facility. The least thing you could do is fix my water. Some things that are possible, I can't help the two inches of dust that falls on my house, that settles in my yard, I can't help the smell that fills my lungs, I can't help those things. But you, what you could do for me is to fix my water and if you think that my water is fine, you drink it. Every week, six gallons of water comes to my house from King Kullen, that my mother takes out of her pocket, from her job to pay for. You know what I am saying. These are things that you can do for me. And I don't think that there is something hard for you to do. As a student, as a graduating student coming back to give something to my community, I believe my community should be able to do something for me before you spend$750,000 to finish something else. KATHY TOLL: Good evening, Kathy Toll, Greenport. With all due respect when, I believe the chemical was Temik, destroyed the water tables nobody suggested that everybody else moved. They fixed it. I don't think rezoning is any less unrealistic than in 1989 rezoning was unrealistic. 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 17 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond It is a doable function of government. If that is the solution, it needs to be addressed and not dismissed, again your consultant suggested it. They are the experts that you hired. Listen to them. Thank-you. FRAN DEMAREST: My name is Fran Demarest and I was born and brought up in Orient. I probably don't know 75% of the people that are here. Now, I feel very sorry for the black community but they are there and I think the Town has made a terrible mistake to increase the dump, now you are going to have composting. Your biggest mistake has been to cap that garbage. You are going to have methane coming out of there for years and years. Now, why didn't anybody on any of the Boards consider the fact of what Germany did after the WWII. They cleaned out all of their dumps. I don't know where they put the stuff and I think that it is time that this educated Board decided to clean out that dump, even what you capped. And it is going to cost the taxpayers money but get rid of it. These people have a right to live where they started and you have no right to take it away from them. DAN ROSS: Dan Ross, Mattituck. I am the president of the Browers Woods Association. I agreed to serve in that capacity because I believe in the importance and the sanctity of the neighborhood and the home. We have organizations that protect our businesses and that is good and we have organizations that protect the environment and that is good but we work to live. We shouldn't be living to work. And first and foremost, we should be protecting our homes and our neighborhoods, it is where our homes are. So when the Town Board rezones property that effectively guarantees over time a neighborhood is going to disappear over time, it is frightening. Now, members of this Board weren't sitting on the Board when that took place. None the less, it was the Town Board and now you are the Town Board. This is the Board that can do something. It is a complex issue when you throw the dump into it. But there is one place that you could start. You could start by seconding the Supervisor's motion to rezone the property and go from there. At least,put it back where you were in '89. Take that step and you could go from there. MELANIE NORDEN: There seems to be some confusion on the part of the Board as to why people are here this evening. And I think it is specifically because we are talking about money. And we are talking about the kinds of allocations that money represents in terms of various levels of respect you may have for the citizenry. So it is not incidental that this is part of the discussion and it has to do with culpability. And culpability does have human but also financial repercussions. I challenge Mr. Wickham, you are talking about moving a whole community of people, I presume that is because or even suggesting that that might be a possibility, I presume that is because the Town might perceive a certain level of culpability. So let me challenge you to the following, the average price per single family dwelling and almost everyone here in Church Lane and Tuthill Lane lives in single family dwellings, is between $300,000 and $400,000 per home in Southold Town today. Are you planning, because we would not want people to live in anything less than what they live in now, are you planning to allocate $4.5 million for the relocation of this community as example. I think that when we talk about issues of moving a whole population of people, we have to talk seriously. And if we are talking about that, then we have to assume culpability. And because we are not just doing this, we are doing this as a government. So I am pointing out to you that the level of culpability is considerable in a 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 18 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond discussion like that. Not just a human discussion but an economic, in economic terms. In - addition, I had challenged this Board several weeks ago about the level in involvement of the -_ Environmental Protection Association. I don't suppose that any of you bothered contacting them to investigate the rights and the civil rights of the people in the Church Lane community. _ SUPERVISOR HORTON: Actually, the Environmental Protection Agency has yet to get back to me, I have followed up on that. MELANIE NORDEN: Right, well they got back to me. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Well, good. Melanie, if I can get back to you on that. I have not had much luck at all these days in Washington D.C., whether it be the USDA or the EPA or the whatever else ends in a A in Washington D.C. But I have taken your advice to heart and will continue to pursue that. MELANIE NORDEN: Well, I have filed a claim with the EPA. Fortunately an individual citizen can do such. And it is actually Region 2 in New York that they need to contact and it is the Environmental Justice Division and I think that we need to think in terms of justice, environmental justice. And that concept which actually exists in Federal law, though it may not exist in Southold Town law, says that there should never be any undo burden on any one portion of the population regarding its environmental and civil rights. And that all burden should be shared equally. And I propose that what we see here in the Church and Tuthill Lane area is a violation of the environmental rights and environmental injustice to the people who live there. I want to assure this Board that everyone in this community will work very hard for a resolution and for justice for these people. That this issue will not go away and that we will keep clamoring and advocating for their justice until we do the right thing. And this bond issue, I would encourage you to think about compensating them at least so far as safe water and safe air may be concerned. And not to compound an historic problem by adding more problems to it. Also maybe a little bit of investigation of the nation wide explosions of methane gas and their impacts on communities wouldn't be a bad place to start either. Because in fact it does exist. NADIA CHINGOVITCH: I would like to say that I am interested in looking at your faces and the remarkable lack of movement or recognition of any of our statements; it is very interesting. However, I just want to say that in China and in Egypt and Africa where the pollution is so terrible, we from the "first-world countries" with I think third-world or eighth-world mentalities have to have injections so that we don't get frightful diseases from the terrible waste and this that and the other, the water that we can't drink, we can't brush our teeth in it. Is Southold now going to be a place not just full of vine-yards but full of disease where people have to, who come out on the LIE are going to have to stop somewhere to have a multiple barrage of injections, so that these people can stay alive, that is why they have two inches of thick dust over their cars. That is the same as in Cairo, that is the same as in China, that is the same as in Africa. But the smell of their whatever is assaulting, as this young lady described, it is outrageous and that is what is going on in the third-world. And if this country had any sense rather than money, it would send its children to look at the third world to learn what not to get into. And that is what 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 19 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond you have allowed these poor people to sit in. A third-world area in a first-world country with more money than sense. LORRAINE MILLER: Lorraine Miller, Cutchogue. Granted I live about a mile from the dump, west of the dump. But it is like the saying is, walk a mile in my shoes. Maybe each one of the members of the Board should live in each one of those houses for a week so that you can understand better what these people are going through. VIOLA CROSS: Viola Cross and I live on Church Lane. It is remarkable to see how many people that don't live on Church Lane are wearing signs `we are all Church Lane' it is so wonderful to think that people are standing beside us and that the Board will not need to stand beside us. I live there and re-locate, when I moved there my saying was, the next time I move, I will have waterfront property. And you see that I am not going anywhere. It was said, that little gray-haired lady will go away but this gray-headed lady is not going nowhere. I am there to stay. And they were saving $250,000, I am 77, why should I have a mortgage at this late date. Never. This gray-headed lady will stay. MERLE LEVINE: As you well know, this is an agonizing concern for the Anti-Bias Task Force and for a lot of people here in Southold Town. And my concern has to do with having spoken with almost each of you on the Board. I know you as responsible men in your private lives and successful businessmen in you business lives. I find it so difficult to understand how you have taken a position, which we really truly do not understand. We are not saying that you must rezone but we are saying that you must protect people. That you must do something to make their lives comfortable and the ways in which you have responded are truly mind-boggling. I think at the very end of the last meeting, I heard Tom Wickham say that if he could be sure that, if he thought that the quality of life would improve if we rezoned, he would have supported Josh's motion. I find that one of the most perplexing statements that I have ever heard. Because the converse of that is that there quality of life evidently, is better with light industry in their midst. And my question would be then, if the quality of life improves with light industry in our communities, then should we all have light industry in our communities? And is that the logic of that statement? I have heard Craig Richter say that if we could provide anything, anything at all that could convince him, that he would change his mind. Well, I find it very difficult to understand how and I do know you as a compassionate man, how you cannot see that what we are dealing with is what historically we know is environmental racism. You may not feel racist but the issue is racist. And as a businessman, the logic that that is not a viable area for a commercial development is also rather important. And I don't understand why neither one of those issues have your attention or makes you understand why you would need to support the people in the hamlet. John Romanelli said when we met with him, that the decision in 1989 to rezone was the right decision. And I see that the Planning Board said it was the right decision in 1989 because there wasn't viable water. However, now there is water. And so it is hard to understand how what was right in 1989 is still right in 2002. We've never spoken with Bill Moore because you wouldn't speak with us but I did read an interview in the newspaper where a white community was very upset because they were going to build large houses in their community and you are quoted as saying ` that is really terrible, something must be done' I find 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 20 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond it very difficult to understand why if building large houses is something that must be taken care - of, why putting in industries in the midst of a community isn't something that should be done. We are not saying that what you must do is rezone, there are all kinds of things that you could do to protect people, to make their lives comfortable. And at this point, yes you could them comfortable. You are capping the landfill. It is possible to make life bearable for them. And to make up for what has been unbearable for more than 60 years and I hope that once you have thought of your own sense of compassion and concern for your families, for your well-being, for your community, that you will think about it for our hamlet people as well. Thank-you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing? JOAN EGAN: Hi, I don't have an awful lot more to say, Mr. Horton. Everybody has spoken very compassionately and eloquently. And I would like to add that I think it is a disgrace, I think that the one word that you, Mr. Richter, you, Mr. Moore, you, Mr. Romanelli and you in particular, Mr. Wickham think about integrity. You ain't got none. You better get it fast. JOHN WOOD: I am John Wood, I live on Ole Jule Lane in Mattituck. Now, I don't believe the pool company has erected their building yet. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: That is right. JOHN WOOD: I believe these people that have been living on 48 have been there quite a number of years,yes? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Yes. JOHN WOOD: I think it has been very poor as solution to tell these people that have been living there for all these years, if you don't like it, to move. I hope that nobody would say that to me. Now, I have one question. Were these people notified before the Zoning Board changed their zone? I don't believe they were. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Sir, I will answer that question. As our public record shows, in the Town Clerk's office that the Town and the property owners were notified legally under the legal mandate per the Town. It was advertised properly in the newspapers. That doesn't take away.. JOHN WOOD: (inaudible) but the same thing happened to me. The Board allowed a marina to be built next to my house and then tell me, Mr. Wickham, if I don't like it, to move. I think this is just shafting these poor people. SYLVIA DALY: I would just like to correct one thing you said. That on record from 60 years ago or from 1989, these people were legally notified by putting something in the Southold paper. How much does the Southold paper cost and does the community that they were notifying legally read the Southold paper. If they do not read that paper, they were not notified. 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 21 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond SUPERVISOR HORTON: You are correct. JIM DINIZIO: James DiNizio, Jr. Greenport. I suggest that even if they did read the paper, they wouldn't know what they were reading anyway. Not because they are stupid because you can't write a legal notice that anybody can understand. A proof of that is what you guys just dealt with tonight. Okay, now where that legal notice came from announcing this was, I don't know. I have suspicion as to where it is coming from and I feel that it was extremely poorly written. With that aside, Mr. Wickham, I understand where you are coming from concerning what you would like to do or what you think that best solution to this problem is. However, we don't live in that world. I do honestly sympathize with you because I lived in it for 16 years with you. You can't just ask people to leave. You can't just ask people who have lived in their homes for 60 years to say good-bye to that. Now, these may not be the best homes in town, they may not be the most manicured lawns, they may not be worth $500,000. They are worth a zillion dollars to them. And they have got to keep them. Now, for the past six months, I would say, I have been complaining about the fact that you don't let people know clearly what you are doing. Yes, you meet your legal obligations in the paper and when I was on the Zoning Board, I would always ask people if they subscribe to the Suffolk Times when they come up before the Board and say"I didn't know" because the Suffolk Times is the only place that you can get that information, shy of coming in here and reading it on the board. And it brings me right back to this, even if you read it, you can't understand what it is trying to tell you. And you don't know the ramifications of all that legal gobbley-de-gook. So you have got to do something about that and certainly you have got to consider that this is what these people had to deal with in 1989. Okay, the fact that yes, you met that obligation but certainly you did not explain to them the ramifications of that decision. Okay? I was there, I know what went on and you know what? I was in that discussion and you know what? It made a lot of sense. Why would you want people living next to the dump? It doesn't make any sense, you know what is going to happen there. And that is the reason why it has changed. Well, things have changed now. You are making it a little bit better, you have got to give these people back their rights. If tonight, while we are in this meeting, Viola Cross' house burns down maybe you can tell me what she does tomorrow. Because you can't rebuild a house. Because there is a law on our books that says, in a non-conforming use, if you lose that , if you remove that in any way, you don't get it back. So where does she go? Now, if she is conforming, she gets her house back. Why don't you just give her that assurance back, that's a little bit of comfort. That she has the same rights as any person in Town who lives on a residential piece of property. You took that away from these people in 1989. You can give that back to them. I don't know how you do it. I know it is going to cost you money, I was here last week about the fact that you are taking more of my money. But guess what? You can have it for this reason. Because this is a good reason. TOM KRAUSE: My name is Tom Krause, I live in Greenport off Manhanset Avenue. I have a maybe an over-simplified understanding of what I heard earlier in this meeting tonight regarding the money. What I think I heard was, you want to get authorization to increase the bond by $750,000 so that you would be eligible for a $1.4 million rebate. So that the project will come in $1 million under its original budget. Then I think I heard somebody asking for a clarification and get told, you are right it is not a guarantee that we will get it, it just means that we are eligible to apply for it. And if your application is not accepted, then you won't be $1.1 million 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 22 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond under budget, you will be $750,000 more than you thought, less the possible decrease in cost for sand and gravel. Is that right? Have I got it right so far as to what I have heard? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: You have most of it right. We are not counting on the rebated - money as being under budget. If we get the 50% reimbursement from the DEC, we will be - further under budget. TOM KRAUSE: How will you be $1 million under budget? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: We are talking between the two projects. Between the capping project and the compost project, we have basically two simultaneous bonds going at the same time. Okay, so when you put the two bonds together and what they were put out there for, by going over$750,000 on this side, we save money just on using our own sand and gravel from the 17 acres. That we didn't have to go out and purchase more soil to cap the landfill. That is what -- brought us under budget. If we get the reimbursement from the DEC on the 50%reimbursement, we will be further under budget. We are not counting that because there is no guarantee there. TOM KRAUSE: Well, if you are going to be $1 million under budget without the reimbursement on the combined projects, why would you need the$750,000? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Because the way that the two projects were allocated and the way that the two bonds were set up we had X numbers of dollars set up on the compost side.. TOM KRAUSE: And can only spend it... COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: And it could only be spent up to that amount on the compost side of the project. We couldn't just dip into the other bond and say that we would take $750,000 from over here and put it over there. TOM KRAUSE: Right. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: We are legally not allowed to do that. So that is why we had to increase the one bond to cover that expense on one side. TOM KRAUSE: Okay. And then the last thing that I think I heard was in answer to a question was, we are really trying to investigate ways to not compost or to not compost nearly as much and to consider shipping it out and to consider doing other things with it but while we are working on that, we still want the $750,000 just in case? I mean, if you are considering other alternatives, why are you floating a bond for $750,000 to do something that you already say you are considering finding alternatives for? It would make one believe that maybe you are not trying that hard to find other alternatives. Thank-you. MELANIE NORDEN: I am just wondering actually, where we go from here? We have had several meetings, several public meetings, a number of discussions, dialogues with the Anti-Bias 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 23 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond Task Force. So far, nothing has come, no resolution. I don't know if we are any closer. The Division of Environmental Justice of the EPA has indicated to me that one role that they play is to sit down with all parties concerned, with municipalities, in a formal Federal role to help foster dialogue and bring groups of people, maybe with very disparate opinions together. Would this Board be willing to sit down with some representatives of the EPA in such a round table? To see if there is any way in which they could assist us? We have talked also with John, I know that some us have talked about Mr. Romanelli, the possibility of moving from this to a public hearing. To make it more formal and to have these points and opinions known. But I think that what we would all like to know, I know that the Board is under no obligation to respond to any of us tonight nor have you, in terms of addressing the questions but we would like to know if we could create some forum in which we can actually begin to initiate a dialogue. You now know how this side of the room feels. We like to find ways of exploring how everyone on the Board feels, what is inform their decision and how we can foster and begin a workable dialogue to seek a resolution because find a resolution and have a resolution, we must. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing? ROBERT TAYLOR: My name is Robert Taylor, I live practically in the landfill. I am east of the main entrance. I really appreciate everybody's support. I listen to all these conversations like history is being dissolved. If it wasn't for the polluted water, the Church wouldn't be moving. That is all I have heard, the water is bad-we have got to move the Church. The water is clear, bring the Church back. Use that land for parking space or increase the Church. Where I live, I inherited that house. Mr. Wickham, that house was from the Wickham's family. It was moved from Mattituck, put there. My dad worked your stand when your dad owned it, for 33 years. Sunup to sunset. I am his foster son and I will be damned if I am just going to sit back and just let this happen. If he was alive today,he would be screaming at you. Screaming at you. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: He taught me how to milk a cow. ROBERT TAYLOR: Whatever, you are milking more than cows now though. But the point is, to my mom and dad, that was a gold mine and for me to be brought up that way, for strangers to take me into their home and raise me up as a son, is a gold mine to me, too. I replaced all the windows, I can't even open my windows. I have Anderson windows, popular windows. I can't do it because of the dirt. The sand, the traffic. You took the front lawn away, I have a field across the street from me but yet you took our front yard to put that dual lane highway in. We didn't say anything about that. The back yard, I used to play in the fields. There is no field. My back yard is a black-top entrance to the landfill. And on the other side of that black-top entrance to the landfill, is a band going on. Colored glass being broken up, clear glass being broken up, in back yard. Why couldn't you have put it on the other side of the building which would cut down the sound? No one asked me. The landfill wasn't even there at that point, it was the street next door. Two doors down used to be the landfill. I can see where this is going but it isn't helping us and the mulch thing, yes, you started years ago. It was on our side and we didn't say anything, maybe because I was just happy to have the inheritance. To live in Southold Town. To 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 24 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond work in this village, to deal with the people. But you are pushing me out. I have to stand up and say something to you. You have got to stop, come on,you have got to stop. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing? ROBERT KRUDOP: Hi, my name is Robert Krudop. I own three parcels with my family, my two kids and my wife down there on Tuthill Lane. We bought it for the industrial aspect of the property, I do own a small excavation company and I did need a spot to park my equipment. We do have limited industrial property down there. Two houses are on the property, I kept them because Southold does have a problem with low-income housing and I have renovated one since. And I would like to renovate the other one, it is just unfortunately I don't have the time right now and or the funds at this point in time. But it will get done. I wouldn't mind moving those houses, at my own expense, providing that it is financially feasible. Meaning, buying another piece of property and relocating those houses. I designed the houses to be moved, to be put on to - I beams and shipped out of there, when I can afford to do that and it will be in the near future. The area, I have been down there for over 1'/2 years, the area. I have to tell you, you are right. Blowing sand from the dump and the, but more so the dust is caused from the sod farms, it is not from the landfill because it is naturally, the dust comes from the dirt which is topsoil and it comes from the sod when it is lifted up. So they have a little mistake there and misunderstanding. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Excuse me, before you continue. I ask that when any member of the public is addressing the Board that they be given the common courtesy to address the Board openly, freely. They are addressing the Board, so please allow him to continue on. ROBERT KRUDOP: Thank-you, Josh. As for the zoning prior to '89, the property west of Church Lane was commercial. It was actually a heavier use than the light industrial when it changed in '89. Just to let you know that the prior zoning wasn't all residential in that area including my property, it was zoned commercial. I have the sign that was up for over two years noting that it was commercial because I had had my eye on it for over two years prior to purchasing it. Anybody could have purchased that property. And it was light industrial. But I didn't see one of you people in here willing to purchase that property or do what I did. I took over 300 yards of garbage out of there, I am not even done. 300 yards, that is 10 30 yard dumpsters. It cost me over $10,000. I am cleaning up the area. But you know what? You haven't. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Mr. Krudop, address the Board,please. ROBERT KRUDOP: I am sorry. You are right, I am sorry. I am upset because people want to change the zoning but they are not going to fix the problem. The houses near the landfill. Maybe it is possible to re-locate, I know there is a building going up on, in proposal, going up on one of the sites. Maybe we can re-locate, not re-locate but readjust Viola's house and turn it possibly. I haven't had a chance to talk to you because you haven't been in your home for over a month and a half. I am sorry but I haven't seen you, so I haven't been able to talk to you. Re- locate the house facing another direction and take care of the drainage along the road that the 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 25 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond Town has paved, that really isn't a road. It is part of the Town property. Put drainage rings in there and take care of a drainage problem because there is a clay lense that the water doesn't get through but the water sits and that is why it collects in this area because there is a six foot clay lense that you have to break through in order to get to the pure sand that they are mining up and that is why the water doesn't drain. Maybe you could re-locate it and start the development in an easy sort of way but I think there needs to be more talks not in this sort of way but in a private conversation amongst the Board members to be able to come to an agreement. I don't think we need to discuss this because everyone is getting emotional and it isn't solving anything. You need to sit and discuss the change. And that is the Zoning Board of Appeals, which is what you basically made your move and put it to the Zoning Board and the Zoning Board should really be doing this and this is where the people belong, that is in the Zoning Board. Not in the change of zoning or asking the change of zoning here, at the Town Board. I am sorry that they are but I don't believe that it should be and I just wanted to let you know. Thank-you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, Mr. Krudop. Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing? THOMAS MCCARTHY: Hi, Tom McCarthy. Principal in 640 Church Street, LLC. Just want to acknowledge all of the comments tonight and I am not taking issue with everything that everyone said. I understand it is an emotionally charged issue and there are opposite sides of that issue. And I freely acknowledge that there are problems over there and we are willing to work together in some sort of an open forum to discuss those issues. But at the same time we do own a piece of light industrial property that was properly zoned for light industrial. One of the facts that Mr. Krudop brought up was about the rezoning. It has been bandied about that the entire neighborhood had been changed from residential to light industrial back in '89. That is not the case, if you check with the Town Clerk and any of the other things that have been filed with the Zoning Board on our particular application, it was a zone demarcation line, zoning line that ran just to the west of the Church on a private right of way which is the subject of our application. Slightly on to our property and from that point to the east, to the entrance of the dump, was zoned residential A at the time and that was changed. So Ms. Cross's property was certainly changed, Mr. Krudop's property wasn't. The property that I had the application on, was not. And the other properties on Tuthill Lane were not. I want to clear that up in a public forum because no one has really taken the time to understand that. They paint it with a broad brush and they say the entire neighborhood was residential in 1989 and they got changed and that is not the fact. And feel free to check with the Town Clerk, get a copy of the zoning map and do a little bit of research. And as Mrs. Cross actually filed for a freedom of information, as I did, was given the same information that I was, that the area to the west of her property had not been changed, it was just her side-the right of way and her side of the right of way. I wanted to clear that up for everyone but I understand that that is not the only issue, the technical issue of the zoning. In addition to that, we also feel as an owner of light industrial property, buying that property within the Town that we have certain rights just as the rights of the citizens and what they are now calling the hamlet of Church Lane and we intend to try to perfect those rights and do what we are allowed to do under the zoning and we look for the Town Board to protect our interests as well as the other interests of the people in the area. Thank-you. 11/19102 Southold Town Board 26 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, Mr. McCarthy. Would anyone else care to address the Town Board? ANGELO STEPNOSKI: Angelo Stepnoski, Greenport. I also have one of those parcels and I can't really add anything to what Tom said but I would like to say that I am on the same page as Tom McCarthy. I feel the same way and he said it as well as I could have said it. I wanted to make my voice heard. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you,Angelo. EFF MERLE LEVINE: The idea of a public meeting has been raised here and I have sent you a request for the use of the Town Hall on December 21 at 10:00 A.M. for such a public meeting. To try to find a way to resolve the issue so that people feel that their needs have been addressed. And I haven't heard from you whether or not we have permission to use the Town Hall for that meeting. I understand that you did take a vote and I wonder if you could tell us what the results of that were. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, Merle we discussed that today at the Town Board work session as per your memo that I received on Friday. And the Town Board will make available the space, we have to discuss the time and the date of that to make sure that it falls within an appropriate time that Town Hall is open. So if you would come into my office and we will talk about an appropriate time but the Town Board was in agreement that certainly for the Anti-Bias Task Force, a Committee of the Town that Town Hall could be made available for such a forum. MERLE LEVINE: Thank-you very much. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Would anyone else care to address the Town Board? VIOLA CROSS: As you know, I am Viola Cross. I would like to say something so that everybody is straight on Church Lane. The property that Mr. McCarthy has is not Church Lane. It does not have a name. It is just a right of way to our Church. That is not Church Lane. Church Lane is east of my home. My house is not on Church Lane. So there should be some, you should be made aware that that isn't Church Lane that his property is on. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you, Ms. Cross. Would anyone else care to address the Town Board on this public hearing? BILL BRENT: I want to answer the two gentlemen that own the light industrial property. I think they... SUPERVISOR HORTON: In a public hearing I ask that you address the Town Board. BILL BRENT: I think they sort of miss the point. One-I think his name was Mr. McCarthy had said that this wasn't the forum in which something like this should be discussed. But this is a 11/19/02 Southold Town Board 27 Public Hearing Solid Waste Management District Bond perfect example of a community getting together and talking about how they feel. These discussions should be spirited, they should be emotional, they shouldn't be cold and they shouldn't happen in private. That reeks of under-handed back deals which got us here in the first place. So I think that yes, they do have rights as owners of light industrial property but they have to be cognizant of the aesthetic value of the location and the well-being of the people that live there. And they are completely missing the point. That is all I have to say. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank-you. Would anyone else care to address the Town Board? (No response) We will close this public hearing. lizabelth A. Nevi le Southold Town Clerk T , f VALERIE SCOPAZ, AICP C y� Telephone (631) 765-1938 TOWN PLANNER W Fax (631) 765-3136 O P.O.

Horton, Supervisor Members of the Town Board Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Chairman Members of the Planning Board From: Valerie Scopaz, AICP, Town Planner Re: Zoning of Properties south of the Municipal solid waste disposal facility, north of County Route 48, Cutchogue, NY Date: July 26, 2002 At the request of the Town Board to provide some insight into the existing zoning of the aforementioned properties, I attempted to search archival records. Attached you will find two maps: one showing the existing zoning of Light Industrial, the other showing the prior zoning (before 1989) of Agricultural Residential surrounded by two different industrial zones. Due to time-consuming difficulties encountered while searching for earlier records in the archives and the deadline for this memo, I was unable to trace the history of zoning at this site between 1957 and the mid-1980s. The Background Studies of 1983 (for the Comprehensive Plan Update) indicate that the Landfill had its beginnings during the 1930s. The landfill was closed to further dumping in 1993. Presently, the following operations exist at the site: • A closed, unlined, capped landfill. • A solid waste and recyclables transfer station • A permanent household hazardous waste storage facility • A yard waste composting operation • A construction and demolition debris holding and transfer station • A holding area for household appliances and tires awaiting transfer to processing facilities outside the town. • A reuse or swap center for free exchange of items otherwise destined for the waste stream (Source: Draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. Section ll.C.2.(iii) Solid waste management. p. 52) The existing complex of buildings on the landfill site will continue (with some modification) to be used as a transfer station. The composting station north of Tuthill Road also is planned to continue operation. There also has been some discussion, but no decisions, about relocating the Town's Scavenger Waste Treatment Plant from Greenport Village to the landfill site. (Source: 7.25.02 telephone conversation with James Bunchuck, Solid Waste Coordinator, Solid Waste District, Southold Town) The decision to change the zoning in 1989 to surround the landfill site with light industrial and light industrial office uses appears to have been made on the grounds of protecting public health safety and welfare from the potentially negative impacts of groundwater contamination and methane at the site, not to mention the generally unappealing aspect of landfills: papers blown offsite and odors. The effect of the zone change has been an out migration or decline of residential land uses. Since that time, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services determined that the predominate flow of contaminated groundwater is in a northeast direction. A restriction was placed on the addition of any new facilities within this area until a community water supply was installed. (Source: Special Water Supply Restriction: Town of Southold. Mary E. Hibberd, M.D., M.P.H., Commissioner, January 28, 1997) In response, the Town and the Suffolk County Water Authority worked together to provide water to existing homes and businesses within a larger Priority Area, as defined by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. Presently capacity is only enough for existing homes and businesses within this area with existing private wells. To date, only seven connections have been made along the main that was laid. I don't know the location of those connections. (Source: 7.25.02 Communication with Stephen Jones, CEO, Suffolk County Water Authority.) When financing for the extension of a water main to this area was being sought, James McMahon attempted to obtain Community Development Block Grant funds to offset some of the expense. At that time there were four minority families living in the Tuthill Lane area and two immediately to the east of the landfill entrance. Attached is a list of the property owners at that point in time. I don't know the current ownership pattern, but that could be obtained from the Tax Assessor's Office. The latest property transfers in this area seem to indicate that these undersized lots have value in the real estate market for industrial uses. These are, as follows: • 2000 $21,000 • 2000 $90,000 (Lot# 12) • 2001 $100,000 (Lot#8 with house: now the subject of a site plan application.) (Source: 7.23.02 Communication with James McMahon, Community Development Director, Southold). In 1999 the Town conducted a survey of land uses within the County Route 48 corridor. This review of business and industrial zones led to a series of recommendations to upzone various business and industrial properties. The subject properties were not recommended to be upzoned because the existing zoning was felt to be in keeping with the Town's goals, as set forth in that study. The County Route 48 Study has been incorporated into the town's comprehensive plan under the auspices of the LWRP document. Since 1989, several zone-appropriate industrial uses have moved into the area, including a cell tower. All of this activity has taken place to the east of the solid waste facility's current entrance, just east of two existing residences fronting on CR 48. The site plan that is the subject of community controversy is the first siteP Ian application to have been made to the west of the entrance. The current zoning is an appropriate zone given the Town's goals of protecting public health, safety and welfare, of consolidating industrial uses around the municipal solid waste facility and maintaining the CR 48 corridor as a bypass. The amount of industrial development that has taken place in the area since 1989 seems to affirm this. In addition, County Route 48 will continue to carry increasing volumes of traffic moving at high speeds, and the existing entrance to the solid waste facility is the site of many accidents. If the Town Board decides it wishes to rezone some of these properties back to a Residential zone, it would have to undertake the following actions: • determine what type of residential zone it wished to create here, • provide justification that this type of change would be in conformance with the goals of the town's comprehensive plans, • establish a clear rationale for the rezoning of selected properties in order to avoid the legal charge of spot zoning as well as to surmount any legal challenges by property owners who bought land for industrial purposes in accordance with the zoning map, • conduct an environmental study to establish that rezoning the properties to a residential zone (as the highest and best use) would not expose future residents to harm from past and existing land uses within the area to the north and east (such review to include, but not be limited to: groundwater contamination, the availablity of public water to supply future need, methane venting, proximity to industrial land uses, etc.), • design mitigation measures such as the construction of earthen berms to protect future residents from ongoing activities that will take place at the municipal solid waste facility. I hope this information is useful to your deliberations. I regret that due to time limitations imposed by the LWRP deadline, I am unable to offer a more detailed analysis.

They should not, now that one eyesore is slated to disappear, have to be faced with another. You have a chance to do the right thing. Rescind the 1989 change that turned a "residential" zone into a "light industrial" one. In the spirit of Southold's self-proclaimed effort to become "bias free," make a decision that shows you mean it. Don't let development and greed win — again — over quality of life. Sincerely, JeA-e,--o-- Teresa Taylor L ._. - i 75 Blossom Bend Mattituck, NY 11952 July 3, 2002 Southold Town Board Town of Southold Town Hall Main Road Southold,NY 11971 I'm writing in reference to the plan to build a warehouse on Route 48 in the residential community adjacent to the land fill. It will certainly be a sad day for the Town of Southold if this is passed, only accentuating racial bias. How this can even be considered as a possibility is beyond comprehension. I doubt there is any other residential area in the Town of Southold on which anyone would even consider building a warehouse. Yes, it is racial bias. The down zoning done by the previous administration was a major and disrespectful mistake. Please correct this injustice and act to rezone this property a strictly residential. It is the right thing to do . Let's forget "we" and"them" and think about"us." Sincerely, , Harriet.B.
