Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and join in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Thank you. Before we get to the business of the regular agenda, we actually have the Historic Preservation Commission of Southold Town here to make a special presentation. I am going to invite Jamie Garretson, the chairman to come on up. James Garretson, Chairman Historic Preservation Commission JAMIE GARRETSON: Chairman, Southold Town Historic Preservation Commission. I would like to welcome everyone here and thank the Board. This is a historic moment. These are the first three historic landmarks that we have made since we- were started. Actually it's very exciting and there are two houses and one lighthouse, which is totally different from a house. So the first is the Terry House which is at 5720 Main Road Southold and Karen Lund Rooney is here to accept the award. It is one of Southold's earliest houses. It's a three bay house, one and a half stories, it has a center chimney, a side entrance which makes it somewhat unique. A gable roof but what makes it especially unique is there is no overhang on the roof. It comes straight down and it has three small windows, sometimes called eyebrow windows in the front, right under the frieze, that was typically done on the half story, you know, one and a half stories and a Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 4 lot of the time that's where the children slept upstairs. And it was built in 1795 and very exciting, a very nice house. So, can we have the first plaque... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can we give everyone an explanation of the houses and then we'll come up and(inaudible)... MR. GARRETSON: Okay, great. The second one is the Second Parsonage House at 2500 Hobart Road in Southold and Jamie Davis from the Davis family is here to accept the reward. It was built in 1674, for the town parsonage, the second town parsonage. It was the poor house for the town for a while and the dormers in the front vestibule was added but it's basically the same type of house as the Terry House and then the final is the Race Rock Lighthouse station and that is Susan (inaudible) is here from the New London Maritime Society to accept it. They own it, it's one of three lighthouses that they own. This is an interesting one, it's right near Fishers Island, right off Fishers Island. A very tough place to put a lighthouse but also a very dangerous place for maritime. There's a three and a half knot current that's like a rip current that goes right by it and there's a little granite ledge there that used to be a real problem for maritime boats and ships that came by and an engineer named Francis Hopkins Smith and Captain Scott got together and they said they would be able to build a lighthouse here, nobody else thought they could do it and they did it. it's on a little granite ledge and it's known, it's a Victorian style lighthouse but it's got a unique Gothic whimsy, very much like you would see if somebody did a doll house or something. It's sort of a fun house, the house part of the lighthouse, so it is very, very unique. And Susan is here to accept the award. So, if you want to come up? This is the Terry House at 5720 Main Road and Karen Lund Rooney and this makes is, her house is now officially a landmark house in the Town of Southold. Congratulations. The next is the lighthouse, this is the Race Rock Lighthouse and it is presented to Susan and she is to accept,it and this is now very significant, a lighthouse that is a landmark. Jamie Davis, well, this has been a long effort. The Davis family wanted to landmark this house for a long time. As I mentioned before, a unique house, a special house from Southold. Congratulations. JAMIE DAVIS: This is a wonderful and we'll hang it proudly, right where it belongs. Thank you. MR. GARRETSON: Great, congratulations. And this is a first step, I just want to say that there are 1,100 historic properties in Southold. We know have 275 landmarks in Southold which is about 25% but this is a big step for us in going for as much of the 1,100 as we can. And I think the ream worked very hard to do this and I congratulate everybody and the Town Board. Thank you very much. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Let me say congratulations to the owners of the historic homes. -I also want to thank the Historic Preservation Commission for doing such a good job, having people come in, understanding the importance of preservation and able to get these designated and I also want to say thank you to the people who applied because we appreciate your commitment to the history of Southold Town. Thank you. Okay, that completes the Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 5 presentation.

Public Hearings None Closing Comments Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, that is the last item on the agenda. I am going to invite anybody that would like to address the Town Board to please feel free? Councilman Robert Ghosio,Jr. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I would just like to make one comment, Mr. Supervisor. I would just like to take a moment to thank my colleagues on the board for supporting the creation of the Water Conservation Committee. I think it's a very important issue for us to start to take up, not just for us but for generations to come and I look forward to seeing how the Committee, what they come up with and where we go from here. Thank you. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. Who would like to address the Town Board? Please? Allie Tuthill,Exec. Director L.I., Wine Council ALLIE TUTHILL: Good evening, my name is Allie Tuthill, I am the executive director of the Long Island Wine Council and full-time Southold resident. During this morning's work session Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 31 with the Town Board, Supervisor Russell referenced our joint letter that the Long Island Wine Bureau and the Long Island Farm Bureau sent to the Town Board in response to Supervisor Russell's list of issues associated with his proposed craft beverage moratorium. The summary of the letter, given without an opportunity to comment, was misconstrued and we are here to let the record show both the willingness of Long Wine Council and the Long Island Farm Bureau and our members to collaborate with the Town of Southold. Our organization first learned about these issues during a meeting with Supervisor Russell on Monday, October 24th. It was made clear to us by the Supervisor that he intended to find a solution and it was agreed that the Supervisor would deliver to us a formal proposal that would identify the root cause of proposing ,a moratorium as well as the issues associated with that cause. During this meeting our organizations suggested that we start working immediately to form a joint coalition that would address any needed revisions to town code without the need for a moratorium. On November 17th, three and a half weeks after our initial meeting, Supervisor Russell delivered to us a document listing all issues that he would like to see addressed under a proposed moratorium. The issues ranged from processing, zoning and land use to traffic and direct marketing. He also stated in the delivery of these issues that "if the Town Board doesn't show interest in putting the work in addressing these issues through a moratorium, that he wouldn't support a working group". Because there are many in this community who have a long term stake in these issues from an agriculture, processing and retail perspective, including many of the largest land owners in the town, it was important that the LIWC and the LIFB form a cross functional working committee that could review Supervisor Russell's issues and work with he and the town in a way that reflects all commodities not just wine. As a result, our committee'is comprised of Southold winery owners, land owners, farmers and brewers a great cross section of residents. Our letter sent yesterday was yet another attempt to work collaboratively with Supervisor Russell and the Town of Southold, that was rebuffed publicly this morning. The letter outlined the steps that our organizations have taken to date to properly address Supervisor Russell's concerns, our commitment to collaboration as well as our feedback at this time. Key points included, one, that our independent working group has been tasked with working with Supervisor Russell and the Town of Southold. Their goal is to address concerns and to quickly align on a path forward that supports a sensible, sustainable approach to agriculture growth and success and to establish a healthy, productive working relationship moving forward. It should be known that in a note to Supervisor Russell yesterday it was made clear that this committee is open to dialogue and willing to meet and discuss all issues. Two, that our organizations still need to understand what we are solving for in order to properly address Supervisor Russell's concerns and what his long term vision is for agriculture is in the Town of Southold. Three, that many of Supervisor Russell's concerns can be addressed with a thorough review and enforcement of existing laws and regulations. It should be noted that this point was in reference to existing state and federal legislation and not a call for the town to attack wineries that may not currently be operating according to overly restrictive existing town code. Four, an agreement that efforts must be made to bring clarity to town code that can't be solved through existing state and federal legislation and we are willing to work hand in hand with the town to do this. Five, a request to see transparency and consistency in the policy and procedures that different departments involved interpreting, enforcing code and six, that the issues that the agriculture community would like to see addressed include revisiting zoning requirements and bulk schedules for agriculture. We would like to stress again, that our working group Long Island Wine Council and Long Island Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 32 Farm Bureau are committed partners and look forward to working with the Town of Southold. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I just ask a question? How was your letter rebuffed today? MS. TUTHILL: The letter, your summary of our letter was certainly delivered in a way that made it seem that we were not open to collaboration,that it was an attack on our own industry. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: How? How did I attack the industry? MS. TUTHILL: You can go back and review your statements but you... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I read yours verbatim. I read your letter verbatim. MS. TUTHILL: You did not read our letter verbatim. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, I did. MS. TUTHILL: You summarized our letter. You did not read it verbatim. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I read it and then I was trying to decipher it because you said through review and enforcement of existing laws and regulations, what enforcement, you know... MS. TUTHILL: You were interpreting (inaudible) SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The code is the law. MS. TUTHILL: We are here not to pick a fight, we are here simply to state our willingness to work with all of you in order to find a solution here. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But I have a right to clarify if you are going to misrepresent me, I have the right to say I am sorry but when you said review and enforcement of existing laws, the town code is the law. Regulation, that's town code as well so I don't understand why you are going to advocate for existing laws. I sent you four pages of bullet points and nowhere in the four pages did I ever say enforcement was an issue. If you are going to make it an issue, that's fine but I never raised that issue. MS. TUTHILL: What we are saying is that the list of issues that you sent us, a lot of which can be addressed through reviewing and enforcing existing state and federal legislation. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And then ignore the code? MS. TUTHILL: No, we are saying the rest of the things that cannot be covered in that, we are here to work with you in order to find a solution that works for the Town of Southold. Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 33 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What do we do about the code? In other words, enforcement only pertains to state but not the town code? MS. TUTHILL: We are here to work with you to figure out what we do about the code. I am standing here and we are all here to reinforce that we are here as partners and as allies and not as an organization or a group of organizations that are trying to not work with you and that is the tone and the impression that you gave this morning, that our letter was somehow interpreted as us not willing to collaborate or work with you and that was a direct quote. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, the thing is that we just talked about creating a working group,that was a recommendation of your organization. MS. TUTHILL: Absolutely. And we are very happy to, we are very happy that was a recommendation, however, your interpretation of us forming a working group in order to respond to your issues was interpreted as us not willing to work with you and you made the assumption that that working group wasn't a cross section of the constituents of Southold that would essentially be affected by this. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, it is put together by the Wine Council, so I have to assume that you are going to advertise, like we do? MS. TUTHILL: It was absolutely put together by the Wine Council and the Farm Bureau, it does not only include wineries. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, okay. I am sure it doesn't and I understand that. The decision today was your organization, as you develop policies and recommendations can present them to the working group. That's not... MS. TUTHILL: We are not recommending policies, we are not making anything. The only reason that that group was formed was to review what you sent through and to act as a body to help navigate through this process. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I appreciate that but the entire agricultural community is essentially going to serve as a body too, because everybody gets to weigh in on that. A couple of other things, first of all, you weren't given the right to speak. It's a work session. Generally the public comment is held for the public meeting. That's the essence of transparency that you say you would like to see. MS. TUTHILL: And that's why we are here. We are speaking.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But you are acting like we didn't let you speak today. It's a work session so generally we ask for all of the comment to come as part of a public, transparent meeting. Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 34 MS. TUTHILL: I think that that is fine but we do assume and wish that what we put forth is respected and assumptions aren't made on our behalf in terms of our attention which is what happened this morning, which is why we are here. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, I am sorry you feel that way but I honestly read the letter verbatim so.... MS. TUTHILL: You did not read it verbatim. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You focused on code enforcement, I didn't. So, I addressed that issue because it was a little disconcerting to me. That's not the direction that I would want to see the town go in. MS. TUTHILL: I think that it's important to note that a lot, you say that there is no clarity in our code and that you need to find clarity for the code and the point we are making is that there is a lot of clarity in state and federal legislation that we can use as a starting point to eliminate a lot of what is on your four pages of issues. Anything that isn't, we are here to work with you. We also need to identify what we are solving for, so that we have it and output. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, the thing is I gave you four pages that's actually quite specific, so you are asking like you are in the dark here. I gave you four pages of bullets. It's very specific stuff. I met with your organization and the local ag advisory committee before I discussed it with anybody and we had a discussion on the general issues and I have talked to you about it's problematic because the code in one respect is very permissive. It was designed early on to promote an industry that I honestly think at the time people thought was more novel than viable, that was proven to be wrong and that was created years ago. The problem is now it's in some respects restrictive and it's not restrictive by design it's restrictive by how code works. You have a lot of these little operations that are running, there's no avenue for them right now to be approved based on how the code is structured. So I discussed with you, with specific examples, on how I think we really need to revisit the code and say you know what? Maybe there needs to be an avenue for these people to come through and get approval but if we are going to do that, let's do that in a manner that is going to consider the impacts. Maybe mitigate that with special exception or something like that, so you are more than aware of the concerns that I brought. I brought them to you directly and then I followed up with a specific four pages of bullets. I don't understand that. MS. TUTHILL: The four pages are a list of issues that you would like to address through code. As I mentioned, there are five categories of issues within that. if you are proposing, and this is all going back to a proposed moratorium, six month moratorium, if you are proposing that we need a moratorium to address four pages of code issues, that's not realistic. What we were asking for from the get go is what are we trying to solve for now? Can we accomplish that without something as drastic as a moratorium which we think we can do through a working committee and that is it. We are not here saying that we are against you, we are here as partners. We want to see agriculture survive and thrive out here, whether that be wine or beer or any type of commodity. However, we can't do that if we are working against each other. Our letter Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 35 yesterday was an attempt to say, we are here, we have great people who are willing to act as a reference, a resource, a partner in this process and that was it. And we are still here and willing to work with you on that. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Let's all clarify for the public record that I had asked you for input some time ago at a meeting. MS. TUTHILL: Three and a half weeks ago, yes. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I said, I am going to give you specific stuff and I want you to give me ideas because you know with your members, what some of the problems are. So I want you to give me those ideas so we have a template on what we are going to, so it's not like I haven't reached out to you. I reached out to you early on in the process but I got to be honest, when you go to a public meeting like a chamber and someone says well, where did the moratorium come from, well, I don't know; we are still waiting. That's not necessarily being honest because you knew where the moratorium was coming from because I had already explained it to you, all of the general concerns and yes, I included a few specifics in that conversation. So you know where my concerns were and I think it would have been fair to say, well, we did have a general discussion with the Supervisor, he did reach out to us, he did ask us for input and he assured us he is going to give us more specifics, so we are waiting for that. That would have been a fair answer. MS. TUTHILL: We are not on the record as saying that. That's... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, you.... MS. TUTHILL: We have said that over and over again, publicly and to our own members. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, you probably have. MS. TUTHILL: There is no discrepancy there. And I am not, again, I am standing here on December 20`", not to revisit the past and meetings that may or may not happen, we have been actively engaging with the community to get an understanding of how we can be better community partners, that is nothing against moratorium or code or anything. That is us showing our commitment to the community and to be, to really working with them to make sure that we have a sustainable future here. Meeting with Chambers of Commerce is a great way to do that. At no point during any of those meetings have we ever wavered on our stance that yes, you engaged us in that process, yes, we are willing partners in that process,that has not changed. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, we were at the same meeting and you didn't say that at first. I had to go up and make sure the public understood that. MS. TUTHILL: I am not here to play tit for tat, sir, I am not.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let's be honest about the dialogue. Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 36 MS. TUTHILL: I am being honest. I am here again, to the Town Board and to you, to say that our organizations are here as partners and we want to work with you and you have a working group that consists of a number of very strong individuals who are dedicated and passionate and want to see this through. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board? Karl Novak, Pres L.I. Farm Bureau KARL NOVAK: Karl Novak, I am president of the Long Island Farm Bureau and I would just like to reiterate what Allie said, we are here to work with you. We are not here as adversarial people, adversarial organizations. We want to do what's best for the community, we want to do what's best for agriculture. Whatever part of agriculture that is. And we have a long history of working with the Town of Southold, you worked with us very well with the deer cull, you supported us, we supported you. That's what we are looking to do now as far as any continued dialogue as far as the wine industry, agricultural industry. We are here to support our member groups and we are here to support the town. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board? Adam Suprenant, Southold ADAM SUPRENANT: Hi, my name is Adam Suprenant, I am a resident at 425 South Harbor Road in Southold. I am also a winery owner, the winery is called Coffee Pot Cellars and I am a board member on the Long Island Wine Council. I would like to just take the time to address the Board because I think as far as I am concerned, your voices are often not heard by us and we largely hear Supervisor Russell's voice and that's his job as Supervisor. What I would like to address is what I see as kind of this farce of a moratorium. Now we were basically told as a group, the wineries, that oh, come down and talk to us otherwise it's not a quid quo pro but we are going to have this moratorium, so you have to come down and talk to us and so that's kind of, to me, a little disingenuous to say that it was just a call for open dialogue, that we could just meet and have some discussions on the inadequacies of the code which I admit, the code is vague in many areas and it's not just in terms of wineries and what wineries are allowed to do for land use. But what I would like to say is we heard a very short program of resolutions by the town and I just want to know how long this cloud of moratorium is going to hang over our industries head without this Board voting up or down on whether a moratorium should in fact be put into existence and why? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The Town Board doesn't... MR. SUPRENANT: No,please. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I was answering. MR. SUPRENANT: Supervisor, this is the people's time to talk. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am sorry. Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 37 MR. SUPRENANT: You have had your time to talk and with all due respect, I would just like to finish my commentary and you are welcome to open up your questions. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. MR. SUPRENANT: But the other issue that I would like to raise is Southold Town has an ag advisory committee. There are a couple of members here in attendance, one of our Wine Council members is the chair who I think you know, Chris Baiz. And they have been working four and a half years on definitions of agricultural uses, Chapter 72, now at least a page and a half of your bullet points were essentially definitions that could be addressed in Chapter 72. Now you have been working on this, the Town has been working on this with the ag committee for four and a half years and they stopped, apparently, the effort stopped short when it came to defining what a farm winery is. What a farm brewery is, what a farm distillery is. so for me, a four and a half year process to come up with basic definitions for what is a farm or to redefine the code on what is a farm, what are farm stand uses and when is a farm stand required to have site plan, when does it need to have a building permit; it took four and a half years to do that, so the idea that a six month, some sort of a six month halt to the process would accomplish what four and a half years to date has not accomplished with Chapter 72 and the ag advisory, plus the fact that there already is a vehicle for the Supervisor and the Town Board in the ag advisory committee to address issues that you raised in your four page bullet point, I just don't understand why there needs to be some sort of Wine Council or some sort of body put together by the wineries to develop some of these regulations when there already exists an ag advisory committee which I would think would fall under their jurisdiction? So I guess to wrap up my statement here, I personally don't want to see somebody build a 10,000 square foot on the ag land, to, under the guise of being a winery. I think that's wrong but if you are legitimately farming your land, okay, and you are creating your farm product which happens to be wine, there is really in my mind and I am sure this is open for disagreement, there is no difference between a farm stand selling potatoes and a winery tasting room which is in my mind a farm stand selling an agricultural product, okay? So I think we have to kind of step back and look at the fact that many of our operations are legitimate farms that are engaged in legitimate ag enterprise and that in the code of Southold Town, there is a right to farm provision and we should be allowed our rights. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. I just want to answer, I didn't mean to interrupt, I was just trying to answer the question. MR. SUPRENANT: And I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The Town Board doesn't support a moratorium, this Town Board. And although I didn't think a working group would work without a moratorium, this Town Board does and I support them and I think I told in my email to you, you would need to check with the Town Board, I wasn't supportive but you should check with the Town Board, I think I sent them the same email. Well I did, I checked with the Board and they said they want to go with the working group. But understand something, I get it that wineries are just like any other ag operations but it needs to differ a little bit and I will give you an example. You said a winery Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 38 is just like a farm stand. The problem is, we already addressed the farm stand code and the wineries could not live under the restrictions of the farm stand code. The farm stand code limits size to 1850 square feet. It requires 60 percent of the sales to be from non-processed agricultural products grown on site, these are the restrictions. You would eliminate the viability of a, of a tasting room or winery, whatever you want to do. If you were to take that and say, well, we are a farm stand too, believe me, you don't want to go there because it's far too restrictive. And the needs of the winery industry, they just could not be viable living under those restrictions. But there are issues here that need to be addressed. Again, I think you mischaracterized when I almost strong-armed you to come to Town Hall. I asked to meet with you, all I wanted was an opportunity to convince you that a moratorium was the better way to go. I supported it, you talk about transparency, I didn't hide that I told you I think that's the way we need to go and look, I will give you my specifics, I want to get them from you. Okay? That was an effort to try to convince you, that's what it was. I already told you exactly what happened. It wasn't meant to go into and be part of a public discussion but when you start talking it with the department heads and say well, what are your issues, what are your issues, what are your issues, next thing I know I have a reporter sitting in my office saying well, I hear you are talking about a moratorium. Well, again, in the interests of transparency I have to be honest and tell them that yes, we did discuss it. Yes, I went to the ag advisory committee, in fact, that was the first stop of mine and then I went to Wine Council representatives. All I asked for at that time was for an opportunity that it was a better way to go. This Board disagrees, the conversation with regard to moratoriums is over. We are going to take the direction and the recommendation of your very organization and put a working group together and try to solve some of these problems. I shouldn't even call them problems but. MR. SUPRENANT: Definitely and I appreciate those statements, those are very reassuring to me as a citizen of Southold. I would also just like to remind the Supervisor, we are an organization, the Long Island Wine Council, that represents wineries. So we don't really, can't really represent the interests of breweries and distilleries so, I am hoping that you will somehow separate us out of that conversation or somehow bring in some people who can really adequately address that. This is not the alcohol industry versus the Town of Southold, this is farmers and business men in the Town of Southold. But thank you for clarifying that for us. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Can I just clarify? What Scott is talking about, the resolution that we did tonight for the working group, we are going to form our own working group which will consist of all different entities in the town. It's not your working group with us, it's a working group that we come up with from the wineries, from the distilleries, from the residents and of course, you guys can have input as well. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And I can appreciate, I am sorry, we didn't do the resolution, we will do it after the 1St but then I want you to understand I proposed the moratorium in the context of everything. I recognize you just represent one segment, but we have issues here that we need to solve on a global scale which is why I presented the moratorium. Because those are the issues that need to start getting factored into the equation. Our working group is going to have all those different segments and like I said, I don't necessarily oppose breweries on farmland but we need to be very cautious on how we are going to make them happen. That's why I proposed it and Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 39 that's what I discussed with you. I certainly didn't mean for your organization to start trying to help the town figure out the winery issue. We have to step back and I have to be honest, this is an ongoing problem. I appreciate the impacts you might think a moratorium would have on your industry but like I said, it was a larger issue. We had the same issue with special events years ago. I think winery or Wine Council members kept thinking the special events legislation was for was for wineries, it was a town-wide special events legislation. And I know one member recently tried to use that as I was being anti-winery and that the wine community wasn't involved but that's not true. Steve Bate stood here at a public hearing, thanked us for including a lot of his recommendations and suggestions of your group. We at the time, recognized that there were concerns that were raised but we really at the time felt those concerns wouldn't play out. We passed special events legislation, we have a permitting process and it really hasn't encumbered anybody. So I think we were proven right there, it wasn't anti-winery, it was about again, the global scale special events town-wide. Not just at wineries. MR. SUPRENANT: Well, I just hope that we can you know, moving forward with this working group that we can keep these issues as much as possible, I know you guys are public representatives and you need to be transparent but it doesn't help when we are dealing with statements in the press that seem to be just kind of biased in our opinion. Our opinion, it may not be your opinion. But I think that these are great first steps and we, I am hoping we can figure out how to not have every winery and vineyard development have to go through ZBA and have to go through a painful process of trying to establish their business. So, thank you very much. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board? Please, Chris. Chris Baiz, Southold CHRIS BAIZ: Good evening, Chris Baiz, Agricultural Advisory Committee along with a couple of my other committeemen here and I would just like to take this opportunity to point out as you all know, as we have been working with you as the Agricultural Advisory Committee with the Town Board, we do have a working document that takes agriculture, if you look at the zoning code, Chapter 280 and the definitions section, there are 210 definitions in there currently, there might be another one in there tomorrow but of those 210 definitions, there's one called agricultural production, there's another one called farm stand and a third one called roadside farm stand and then recently was added two other definitions aquaculture and mariculture and just to make sure agriculture wasn't being left out of the code, I added a sixth definition of the definition of solar, electrical installation on farms as the sixth agricultural definition and I think it's to try to define agriculture in six rather diverse definitions in a pool of 210, our efforts have been to better define agriculture through a much better realization of what we can do with our greatest underutilized natural resource in town. We have 10,000 acres of farmland here, that won't be 10,000 acres in the distant near future if we can't make agriculture work and as we've all discussed with you in the past with you members of the Board, getting a value added component such as what the winery industry has shown us and the rest of agriculture, what it can mean for us, I've estimated that if we could take the other 7,000 acres of town's agriculture and get value added to it in the form of on-farm processing and on-farm direct marketing, we would probably see an addition in town of 300 to 400 new technical professional jobs like a new wine Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 40 maker or like a vineyard manager or like a vice-president of marketing for each of these firms that have been in the wine industry and it just behooves us to try to elevate the use of our natural resource so that we can create wealth in the community and not just have hospital jobs, government jobs, school jobs etc. I mean, those don't add to the wealth, if we can create value out of our raw materials here, that creates value for the community. You know that our working document is fairly well-defined and down the road to simply take a pause and let wineries, breweries, distilleries catch up, most of those terms are very well defined in state and federal law. They were defined by state law under the 21st amendment to the Constitution of the United States so there's a pretty good backbone to why those definitions are there and the way they are. I have spoken with the Planning Department, I discussed with them some of their concerns about these applications and if one reads the state and federal laws very carefully as lawyers like to do, I think that would resolve probably 70 or 80 percent of the issues that are out there right now. Because they do define what we are all in question about. And after that, it's just a step to get the other issues and let's get them into this working document so that we can get if into law for the rest of the agricultural community. We are always here, ready and willing to talk with you all. I talk with Scott quite frequently and you know, I guess the amusing thing to me was at one of our code committees, the question came up of how do we define a farmhouse? We have tried to keep the definitions very simply, very mono-harmonic, so that there's no if this then that, but if something else then we go in three other directions so that we try to leave the interpretability out of these definitions, they are pretty clear and concise. We hope to be working with you all very soon in the new year to get this legislation finished up. We have got the working document that this can be the basis for and adding this on, very simple, very quick to do. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Chris. If nobody else wants to speak, I want to say one quick thing and I know I have talked a lot, I am sorry. This is the thing and this is the difficulty I am having because I understand you don't want to read comments in the paper that you view I guess as confrontational or antagonistic but I don't either and when you bring them up, you say well, you don't want to see those. When I bring them up, your director says we don't want to visit the past. You know, we have got to say what we mean. I don't think either side wants to see that and when some of your members start using the word scapegoat right away after this discussion, I found that a little reactionary and probably a bit immature because that wasn't the dialogue I had been having with your organization first. Also... UNIDENTIFIED: Inaudible comments from the audience. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: A reporter that came to me. UNIDENTIFIED: What happens on social media is some other world. It doesn't need to be, it's not really reality. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, but there were comments (inaudible) whatever you want to say. but also, there's one other thing here and this is getting to be stale rhetoric and there's people sitting here that accused me of being anti-wine and I have been for years. I have been here for a decade. Name one thing I have ever proposed or supported that was anti-winery. One Southold Town Board Meeting December 20, 2016 page 41 thing. One thing. And you can bring that to the next Board meeting if you can think of one because I sure as heck can't. Would anyone else like to address the Board on any issue? Chris? MR. BAIZ: Yesterday, I was summoned to the wood shed by about a half a dozen farmers out here and they were beseeching me, when are we going to get this done? We are just choking and I don't know how close you guys are, the Board is, to what's going on out there but 2016 was not a good year and the previous year,,if you looked at the larger agricultural scene in the north eastern US and talked to the president of Farm Credit East, commodity prices collapsed for a lot of the rest of agriculture in the north east US here back in October of last year, September of last year and most of these people have still been living with the same thing and you know, I have had comments that Riverhead can do it, Brookhaven, my god, they are going to allow breweries because there's some brew master from Brooklyn who wants to come out and just build a brewery out on eastern Long Island but not sell anything, it's all going to be in the New York market, so you know, this is a moving target and we have to keep up with the rest of the area if we are going to keep our farmers here in the Town of Southold. I had guys yesterday they were ready to put up for sale signs and submit development plans to the Planning Department. All I want to do with agriculture in the breadth of all categories is move ahead. And let's not look back, let's move ahead. We have got one direction we can go and that's forward. Thanks. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Chris. And I know you guys have been working hard and I think we are ready to adopt the definitions as an entirety. That will help steer the rest of 72. So,thank you. Anybody else?
