Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney Gregory F. Yakaboski, Assistant Town Attorney
Mary A. Wilson.
9:00 a.m. Appointment, Henry Raynor and Joseph Baier appeared before the Town Board for
the second time seeking assistance in obtaining water for his 29 acre subdivision near the
Cutchogue landfill. Mr. Raynor explained the situation as follows: The Town of Southold had
excluded his 29 acre subdivision and 1,000 ft. surrounding the landfill was excluded under Suffolk
County Health Department regulation. They can no longer sink private water lines and they fell
outside of the Suffolk County Health Department boundary line for water. Unless the Town of
Southold amends their water map, they cannot have water. Mr. Joseph Baier has been working for
Dvirka & Bartilucci since his retirement from the Suffolk County Health Department two years ago.
This subdivision has been before the S.C.H.D. They approved four lots as having good water and
they said that if he can get good water on the balance of the property, they will give him approval.
Since that time, they have said that you must have a community water system in order to develop
this property. Councilman Romanelli said that the S.C.H.D. will not allow approval for those that
have good water because of the landfill situation. Mr. Raynor said that a lot of times he can get
good the water to test good on all of the lots and other times they don't all test good, it fluctuates.
The 1997 moratorium was based on the results of the testing of water surrounding the landfill for
aldicarbs, organics and benzene products. Councilman Wichkam asked what the Health
Department thinks of filtration systems. Joseph Baier answered that if you couldn't find good
water, then the H.D. would approve it with a filtration system. Councilman Romanelli questioned if
it is anticipated that this moratorium will remain there forever. Councilman Wickham said that he
doesn't think moratorium was a good word for it. He thinks it was rather more of a restriction than
a moratorium. It ran down Depot Lane, Oregon Road, and Cox Lane. Councilman Wickham stated
that he did not think that the 1,000 ft. buffer included all of Mr. Raynor's property. Mr. Joseph
Baier said that yes it does. Councilman Wickham asked if the Health Dept's scope for placing a
well outside of the 1,000 ft. still on his property. Councilman Romanelli asked if he would do his
own community water system for the ten lots. Mr. Raynor advised that the problem is at the
southwestern corner where the well water is not good and he says that he is having trouble talking
to the health department because they say they don't want to talk to him until he is included in the
town water map. He stated that he was here to ask the Town Board for consideration of approval of
his property within the town water map. Councilman Wickham asked if he has spoken with the
Suffolk County Water Authority. Mr. Raynor said that they too tell him that he is outside of the
Town water map. Councilman Wickham stated that the Suffolk County Water Authority is obliged
to provide water to anyone who makes an application. This business of not be able to talk to him,
Mr. Wickham thinks is not accurate. He further stated that he does not think that the Town is a party
to this situation. He thinks it is a matter of concern between the source of water, the applicant, and
the Suffolk County Water Authority. Supervisor Horton asked when the Health Dept said that the
water was not good, what was exactly was in the water, pesticides, organics, aldicarbs? Mr. Baier
replied yes, all of that. Mr. Baier stressed the problem is the fact that the subdivision is not within
the area approved by the Town, the Suffolk County Health Department, and the Suffolk County
Water Authority doesn't want to do anything to increase the source of water. Mr. Wickham asked if
the Health Department would consider augmenting the supply? He thought the answer would be
yes. Councilman Romanelli said that he should be able to sink his own well on a good portion of
the property and have his own water system and provide good water for these 8 lots. The Suffolk
County Water Authority constructed and sized that site for just so many gallons of water to just so
many lots. The aquifer there is good and capable of more. Councilman Wickham, said that he is
prepared to urge the Suffolk County Water Authority to sit down and talk to him. They told the
3/26/02 2
Town that they would sit down and talk to reasonable applicants for water. Supervisor Horton
advised that he will call Steve Jones and see where they are at. Valerie Scopaz, Town Planner
asked Mr. Raynor if he considered applying to the Suffolk County Health Department Board of
Review and asking if they would approve some other standard, Mr. Raynor replied yes that they
did and they said no, they even offered to put filters with treatments in on the wells. Supervisor
Horton asked him to repeat to Steve Jones of the $CWA what he told the Town Board and
hopefully it will open up the doors for discussion.
9:35 a.m. The Town Board discussed the parking lot that the town leases behind the caf6~
next to the Historical Society Building on the north side of the Main Road~ Southold. The new
owner is asking for more money. The Town Board instructed Town Attorney Yakaboski to
negotiate with them and draw up a new lease.
9:40 a.m. The Town Board discussed IV. For Discussion Items as follows: 1 IV.
Southold/Southwold student exchange. Supervisor Horton spoke of his past trip to Romania on
which he chaperoned a group of Greenport students. It was a very rewarding and beneficial trip.
He proposes a student exchange with Southwold, England with whom we have a very strong long
standing relationship. Supervisor Horton stated that there is no better time than now to promote a
student exchange program. He has contacted Tom Rabbit, guidance director of Greenport School
who has connections with the Rotary Club and checked with him as to whether or not there would
be interest in such a program. Mr. Rabbit conveyed to him that there is a great interest. Supervisor
Horton read the tentative proposal for such a program. Supervisor Horton stressed that he would
like character and community service to be the primary consideration, not particularly scholastic
superiority. Justice Evans thought it was a good idea, but asked who is funding it. She was of the
opinion that the school boards should fund it. Supervisor Horton pointed out that Town involvement
would be in keeping with our strong relationship that currently exists between Southwold and
Southold. Supervisor Horton offered to work with the schools as a Town representative to ensure
that it happens. If need be, he said that the Town would share in the cost of insurance and travel.
He said that Greenport Rotary, Mattituck Lions Club and a lot of the community groups are
supportive of it. Councilman Wickham stated that he really doesn't think it needs to take funds
from the Town. Airfare between London and New York is so cheap, you could ask the families of
the students to contribute. He also recommends that the students be asked to work, even if for a
very short period of time because it would make it a more meaningful experience for them and give
them a better understanding of this country. Councilman Moore questioned the length of stay for
the students. Supervisor Horton replied two weeks. Councilman Moore asked why so short.
Councilman Wickham also thought this was too short of a period of time because they would also
want to visit Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C. and New York City. The Town Board didn't think
that housing would be a problem, a lot of families would gladly and willingly volunteer to take in
Southwold exchange students. They recommended full support of the proposal and designated
Supervisor Horton to interact with the schools. IV. 2. Town Board Meeting at Southold High
School. Supervisor Horton advised the Board that he recently attended a NJROTC function and
spoke to them about town government. As a result the students have asked that the Town Board
have a on site public portion of the Town Board meeting held inside the high schools. It would be a
positive experience and good lesson in government and civics for them, as well as a great
experience for the Town Board to sit in the high school auditorium and conduct business.
Supervisor Horton said that Chris Gallagher of Southold High School is faxing over some dates, but
he wanted to get the Town Board's feelings on it. Councilman Moore informed that Riverhead
school did it twice last year. The Town Board was very supportive of the idea. Southold High
School will be set up before the end of the school year and the other schools in the fall semester. IV.
3. Affordable home revolving loan fund legislation (revisit). Assemblyman Thiele's home rule
request proposal A.10031. The Town Board declined to endorse this bill at this time as the code
committee is currently exploring the subject of accessory apartments as a means to provide
affordable housing. Supervisor Horton asked the Town Board to keep in mind that an Affordable
Housing Committee will need to be formed. Councilman Romanelli that no one wants to open up
accessory apartments to all zoning districts. He is thinking of possibly allowing some two family
homes in the HB Hamlet Business and RO Residential Office zoning districts. Councilman
Wickham advised that the Blue Ribbon Commission had a strong discussion about limiting the
potential population of the Town of Southold. He explained that it is not just a farming issue, but a
total population issue of the number of dwelling units that should be allowed. The implication of
how it is going to impact other planning initiatives in the Town of Southold. The build-out of the
town and how it is going to look are to be considered. Councilman Richter stated that geographics is
the key here. It should not be approved on a piece meal basis, but as part of a big picture.
Supervisor Horton asked Councilman Wickham to work with the code committee. Justice Evans
asked how restrictions could be put on it to ensure that these affordable apartments remain
affordable. This will be one of the charges to the Affordable Housing Committee that will be
formed, the ability to keep affordable housing affordable. Supervisor Horton said that he has had
3/26/02 3
many calls from people who would like to put an apartment in their home. The possibility of a
$20,000. to $25,000. grant to a homeowner to renovate his home with an apartment is being looked
into, with a stipulation that for a period of x amount of years it be kept at an affordable rent.
Councilman Wickham promised to give thought to the formation of an affordable housing
committee. Councilman Romanelli asked the Town Board to give consideration to For Discussion
Items IV. 4. & 5 setting a public hearing for a code change in the AHD Affordable Housing District
and setting a date for a public hearing on Mattituck Housing LLC, George Weiser property SCTM#
1000-122-2-23.1 This zone change application is predicated upon a code change. These two item
numbers IV. 4 & 5 were not placed on the agenda for resolutions at this time. Councilman
Romanelli stated that for the record George Wieser has two grants on this project: one from Suffolk
County and one from the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation. He also advised that
the newspaper erroneously reported $250,000. as the Affordable Housing figure. The correct
amount is $168,000.
10:25 The Town Board recessed for a short break.
10:42 a.m. The Town Board reviewed V. Resolutions. Supervisor Horton asked the Town Board
for permission to effect what ever changes need to be made in the future with regard to personnel
changes and re-assigning employees. Resolution no. 210 accepting the resignation of Kathleen
Goggins from her position as clerk-typist in the Assessors Office will necessitate possible
reassigning of personnel. This matter will be further discussed in executive session. Resolution no.
14 authorizing Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program to place a dock at the end of Mill
Road, Mattituck. James McMahon, Executive Administrator explained that they are looking for
another site to grow shellfish. Mr. McMahon had read about the possibility of growing shellfish
inside a floating dock, whereby at some point in time making it possible have a dual use of a town
dock at the same time it is being used to grow shellfish. Cornell has a grant to do it, so there will be
no cost to the town. The Town Board also asked Mr. McMahon for an update on the Goldsmith's
Inlet situation. Mr. McMahon explained that the inlet was opened up to allow it to flow and then it
was closed up. After last week-end's storm it broke through again by nature itself. Mr. McMahon
talked to Terry Latham and the Suffolk County Dept of Public Works. There is a big slug of sand
on the east and west side of the jetty. Engineer Jamie Richter was talking to someone at Peconic
Landing about a piece of special equipment that they have that might be able to be used in this
instance. The Town Board asked Planner Mark Terry to come in to explain Resolution No. 's 225
& 226 on Summit Estates subdivision at East Marion. This is a major subdivision on Shipyard
Lane, East Marion. Mr. Terry explained that the bond for section 1 in the amount of $96,000.
lapsed, however, some work has been completed. Therefore, resolution no. 225 is for a reduced
subdivision bond in the amount of $88,920. Sections 1, 2 & 3 were granted conditional approval in
1997. Final approval was granted to Sec. 1. on 10/4/93; and Sec. 4 on 10/2/00. However, the
conditional approval for Sec. s 2 & 3 expired because the applicant Gusmar Realty Corp. had not
fulfilled their conditions within the required time frame. The Planning Board granted permission on
2/7/02 to combine the bonds, however, such a bond could not be obtained through an insurance
company as such. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt these resolutions as presented.
On motion by Councilman John Romanelli, seconded by Councilman Craig Richter, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby enters into executive session
at 11:11 a.m. for the purpose of discussing personnel, particular persons; and contracts
regarding the landfill with James Bunchuck, Solid Waste Coordinator.

Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilman Richter, Councilman
Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Supervisor Horton.

Resolution numbers 223 & 224 were placed on the agenda as a result of this executive session.
Councilman Craig Richter spoke about Earth Day to take place on April 20, 2002 in the Town of
Southold. He asked about the Town refraining from charging on all of the materials picked up.
The Highway Department will be doing the pick-ups. They will have one truck running east and
one west. Councilman Richter asked Solid Waste Coordinator James Bunchuck to keep track of the
weight of all of the material picked up. A resolution waiving the charges for pick-up is not
necessary because Town Highway trucks will be doing the pick-up.

SUPERVISOR HORTON: In regard to the Town Board meeting if there are items on the printed
agenda that members of the community wish to address may do so prior to the reading of the
written resolutions. When you do so I ask that you step to either side of the room to the microphone
at the podium, state your name and where you are from before addressing the Board for a matter of
our own record. If there are matters you would like to address the Town Board on that are not on the
printed agenda there is a portion reserved at the end of the meeting after the reading of the
resolutions that will enable you to do so. Still on that same protocol just call for it at that point. We
have three public hearings today. One is at 5:00, the next is at 5:05, and the one following that is at
5:07. The one at 5:00 when it commences if it runs past 5:05 we will continue on with the following
public hearings. We won't start them early, but we may start them late. So, the first public hearing
will commence at 5:00 O'clock. At this point I would like to offer the floor to any members of the
community that have questions regarding the printed agenda. Mr. Carlin?
FRANK CARL1N: Good evening, Frank Carlin, Laurel. Number 227, what is that actually saying
there, reduction of the amount of the letter of credit? What is that saying there?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Some of the work has been completed on the Laurel Links
project. On any big project throughout the town the developer of the project has to post a bond or
put a letter of credit out there to verify that they completed the job up to the engineering specs. So,
some of the work has been completed, so the amount of the bond or the credit can be reduced
because the project has been forwarded. There is probably a payment schedule attached.
3/26/02 7
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Are there any other folks who would like to address the Board in
regards to the printed agenda? (No response.) We will move to the resolutions.

Town is funding that project, so I guess we will have more room for SPATS, if you will.

report of Chairman Ploth and member Powers concerning the conflict of interest question
involving William Moore and the professional activities of his spouse Patricia Moore
SUPERVISOR HORTON: I feel that I have to make a statement in regard to this, and my
opposition to this report. I feel very strongly that the decision of Ethics Board Chairman Poth and
member Eileen Powers on the moral conflict is an admonition. If it is a conflict for a Councilperson
to appear before Town government for personal financial gain then it is also a conflict for his or her
spouse to do so. There personal and financial interests are immersed by virtue of marriage. The
facts articulated in this decision clearly demonstrate a serious conflict of interest. Incredible enough
the Ethics Board finds that there is no conflict. I do not accept this report, and I will vote, no, on this
motion.

Romanelli, Justice Evans. Abstain: Councilman Moore. No: Supervisor Horton.

COUNCILMAN RICHTER: Mr. Supervisor, may I say a few words?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Please, Craig. By all means.
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: We have a few minutes to kill here, right? April 20th will be Earth Day
this year. We have a Townwide cleanup. It is going to start at 8:00 A.M. and go until 12:00. I am
putting this together with Superintendent of Highways Pete Harris, so we looking for any youth
groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts. We have quite a few of those lined up already. Church groups,
interested senior's groups, or any groups whatsoever. Litter happens to be a pet peeve of mine, and I
would like to see the town get cleaned up prior to all the foliage coming out. I see it is coming out
already, but it would be nice. It is a Saturday morning. We are going to go for four hours from eight
to twelve, and it would be nice to go from the whole town, and just take that four hour period and
get a couple of hundred people involved, and maybe we can clean the town up. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: In regard to preservation, and what the Blue Ribbon Commission has
been up to, I took a sojourn, if you will, down to Washington, DC, with Supervisor Kozakiewicz in
Riverhead, and Supervisor "Skip" Heaney from Southampton Town. I was sent by Joe Gregela the
Chief Executive Officer of the Long Island Farm Bureau. What we accomplished, and what we
aimed, and what I feel we accomplished was effective lobbying of our Federal delegation on both
the House and the Senate side in DC. We met personally with Senator Clinton, Senator Schumer,
Congressman Combach, Congressmen Felix Grucci, Congressman Israel, Congresswoman
McCarthy, and we voiced clearly and very strongly, and articulately that in fact now is the time,
particularly with the efforts of local municipalities and taxpayers of these various towns and
counties have taken the efforts of preservation of agricultural lands on their own backs, and out of
their own pocketbooks, and it was time. Since the local governments are making this investment in
agriculture it was time for the Federal government to step up to the plate, and do the same. The
House side delegated $500,000,000 in their Federal Farm Bill, and the Senate had put in 1.2 billion
dollars in their Federal Farm Bill for preservation. We are expected to meet somewhere in the
middle. A number of community members from Southold Town, and Riverhead Town, and
Southampton Town accompanied us down there for a press conference. I have to say that all of our
Federal delegates were very receptive, and applauded the efforts of you who are paying for these
preservation efforts, and are working very hard in Washington, DC, to effect the preservation of
agricultural lands, when put in light of we are not looking for a subsidy or a handout. We are
looking for an investment partner. Their ears perked up. They sat on the edges of their seats, and
they were a bit more receptive. Investments seems to speak a little more their language than
subsidies. I have great hopes that even in the current economic turmoil, and budgetary constraints
the Federal government is facing right now. I think we accomplished a good deal down there. My
thanks goes out to the Town Board for allowing me to go, and my thanks also go out to Joe Gergela,
Long Island Farm Bureau, and our local delegation for taking such an active interest in the
preservation of agriculture. It is five o'clock. We will at this time open up the public hearing.

down, so this town can move forward, continue moving forward as it has in the past, and do the
Town's business as we should be doing. Thank you.

give you my open times.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! would like that, and to all Town Board members one thing ! would
ask. ! would ask that you come to Town Hall a little more often. Our people in Town Hall feel they
don't see you enough. They enjoy the interaction to the various Board members, and any time there
is interaction on behalf of Town employees with the Board members it is a positive experience, so !
ask that you come by more.
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: Just as a point of information, ! was here yesterday, ! was here Friday.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! appreciate that, and ! would like to say to my Board members that my
phone is not off the hook, my door is open, and if! am not here at 8:00 o'clock, ! am here at 8:05.
The line of communication has to be open between us. ! believe that firmly, and Craig, you did say
in a public letter that you would support compromise, and ! support that as well. If we can reach a
conclusion by the end of the week. ! would even support a special meeting just to get this matter of
Town Attorney accomplished, keeping that in mind to all Board members. ! believe at this point the
only thing ! would like to say to the people of Southold Town that it is time for this Town Board to
come together, and honor the will of the people of Southold Town. Thank you. There is a portion of
the meeting reserved at the end for the public to address the Town Board on issues that were not on
the printed agenda. Would anybody care to do so at this point?
PETER BELL, Cutchogue: ! am also representing Carl Vail and Tim Wacker, because they are
working, and because ! am retired ! have been delegated to ask some questions of the Board.
Primarily, has there been any movement in our petition to protect East Creek from further
development, and in the sense to try and buy the land that is there because we have been faced now
with the third attempt of the developer to build a monstrosity. The buffer means nothing to them.
Neither does the setback. Next to this proposed house is another lot, which has a 43-foot setback.
The latest proposal is for 19-foot setback on this house. He also wants to go 20 feet from the buffer,
which according to the Town is supposed to be 50-feet. What we are asking for in a sense is that the
Town Board sort of give the Trustees some kind of an anchor to say that 50 foot should be codified,
and a certain setback should be codified, so that it is a law, and that it will be difficult for the
Trustees to make any kind of variances, because by giving the variances you are allowing this
development, this house, to become 100 feet long. You can't go this way, and he still can't go this
way, because of what he is trying to do on this development. So we have got 200 more names on
petitions ! would like to give to the Board. We are keeping up, but ! just want to ask that question
again. Has any movement happened since the last month?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: On this petition, ! have discussed it informally with members of the
Land Preservation Committee, and the Land Preservation officer of the town, and the sense that !
got from those people is that it would be very difficult to recommend an acquisition of a sensitive
piece of property like that despite the fact that so many people in the neighborhood would very
much like to see it maintained and preserved. It would be difficult to justify the individual selection
of small parcels throughout the town. If we got started doing that there is really no end to the
number of sensitive parcels that communities throughout the town would like to do. The committee
wondered whether it would be possible to get an affected group of neighbors who themselves could
come up with the resources to buy it, or to at least find a way to create a spending district, and tax
themselves to buy it. If there was a way the communities themselves could do it, because this isn't
the only one, there will be others in the town. That was the sense ! got from the committee that has
responsibility for acquisition of open space.
PETER BELL: ! respectfully disagree with your proposal, because farmland is important, and so is
a creek, so is a waterway very important because the water touches hundreds of people on that
creek. So, there are special occasions, you know, special things like this creek is being fed by fresh
water streams. As ! said ! don't want to go into the various good reasons why this should be bought,
but the Town has money to buy these things, and these are the kinds of things ! don't see anything
wrong with the Town buying, that affect people right in their community, that are sensitive, and that
are worthwhile protecting wildlife and boating, and things like that. ! think that is what the money
was for, and the headline in The Suffolk Times, when they discussed the petition drive said, every
little bit counts, and every little bit counts adds up to a large piece of property, a large part of the
3/26/02 17
Town of Southold, so why should sensitive areas that are very important be put on the side in favor
of some farm that may come up in the future. We are not against farming. We are farming. We are
for this area. ! mean the creek is a farm also. It is farm for fish, for birds, and everything else. So, !
don't know if that is the final word.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: It is not the final word, and it isn't an issue of open space versus
farmland. It is a question of within open space is it going to be a very small area that benefits a local
community, or is it going to have some broader significance to the town as a whole?
PETER BELL: There you go. The land is on a creek, and the creek effects hundreds of homes that
are built on the creek.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: How big is the parcel?
PETER BELL: It is an acre and a seventh, yet it is so sensitive. You know it is the headlands of the
creek.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: All right. We will ask the committee to take another look at it.
PETER BELL: We are going to keep going on the petition drive. We are going to try to keep
everybody aware of it. We are trying to get the sentiment of the community. ! think we succeeded,
but we are going to keep on going. Thanks.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Actually, Tim, ! am going to let Joan speak, then we will get to you.
JOAN EGAN: A very important issue, Mr. Horton, and the Board, was a meeting ! attended on the
trees, and Building Department, when Mr. Romanelli was on. He didn't give me two minutes. If
you had kept quiet ! would have finished in two minutes. It is a very important thing with the
Building Department and the trees. When these excavations are done for new, old or renovated, big
sand piles, when that dries out a child can get into it, and drown on it. The safety things, what do
you call them, Josh? Those orange round things, when a building is being done? You know what
am talking about, don't you? What is it called? Does anybody know?
JUSTICE EVANS: Storm fence.
JOAN EGAN: The Building Department should go around quite frequently, and see that, that it is
done. ! lived in Forest Hills, Atlantic Beach, and ! saw a child almost drown there. The way this
wind that we have, and sand, and Mr. Romanelli never, never, do to me again what you did the
other day. That was rude, and a letter is going to the Ethics Committee in that regard, and ! will
accept, maybe, a letter back to me of apology. In addition, Mr. Moore, you have done nothing for
me that ! have asked you to do for over a year and a half, and if ! get sick, and ! die from the fumes
from the house next door to me ! will sue you also. Good night and have a good one.
TIM WACKER: ! am Tim Wacker of 595 Track Avenue in Cutchogue. Pete spoke well, and !
don't have much more to add except ! would like to address Mr. Wickham's remarks. You say that
the Town Committees are responsible for advising the Board on the direction to take with the
acquisition of open space through the funds that you have available has said keep away from small
parcels, poorly phrased, not to focus on small parcels, but that presumably means to focus on larger
parcels, is that right?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: ! am not sure if ! can properly characterize how the committee feels.
There are members of the committee here. Would one of them like to address it?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Tim, if you have input for the Land Preservation Committee by all
means ! think you should go to a meeting of theirs. ! think they can answer that question. ! would
expect them to answer that question for you, as well as ! think that question of yours should be
answered, but we can't speak on behalf of that committee in regard to what their feelings are.
TIM WACKER: That is a fine point. If ! may continue, the Board itself here is responsible for
making policy decisions in some regards here. ! have asked some of the Councilmen here to take
the opportunity to go look at this parcel and ! just want to urge them to do so. And also to consider
that this is not the only parcel that is facing this type of pressure. With all the talk of affordable
housing and how ridiculous the land prices are getting. There are so many substandard lots around,
lots that you would not even want to see a house on. ! spoke to the owners today and they want the
money and quite frankly, ! cannot blame them. There's a lot of money tied up in this. It's this piece
and another piece down Nassau Point, and a piece in Mattituck and they are so small. ! will attend
3/26/02 18
the meeting of the Conservation Advisory Committee and the Land Preservation Committee, you
are absolutely right. ! should be getting more interested in this. These small parcels are going to go
through the roof, they are worth a lot of money. ! think some way should be found to protect these
environmentally sensitive properties.
BILL EDWARDS, Mattituck: For the record, ! am the only person here from that committee. The
committee can only respond to applications that they receive from property owners. This Board
does not have the power to go out and make them offer their property.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: That's correct the committee does not operation or function like that.
One of the things that this Town Board did do to help out in this respect was to contract with the
Peconic Land Trust who does go out and seek these parcels out.
FRANK CARL1N, Laurel: ! have a question, the $510,000. for the animal shelter, where is it? Mr.
Supervisor ! have been calling your office since Monday trying to make an appointment for a
meeting with you, and you know what they tell me? Friday! But, ! will say Mr. young Supervisor
that trying to make an appointment with you is like trying to make an appointment with a doctor.
It's a very important meeting, any how ! have something that ! am working on, on this issue and !
think you are going to like it..
EDWARD BAGE, Southold: ! am here in regard to the illegal junkyard down in Laughing Waters.
! wish any of you gentlemen who have not seen this junkyard, ! wish you would take a ride and look
at it. If there is one spot in this town that should be cleaned up and eradicated, this is it. How this
could have been allowed to go on for this number of years is a question ! would like an answer to.
! would just like you to go down and look at it. ! filed a complaint with the Town Attorney who has
allowed this illegal junkyard to exist over this period of years. ! addressed a letter to the Supervisor
too.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Town Board?
PAUL D1NIZIO: Paul Dinizo, 636 Brown Street Greenport. ! would just like to know when the
hole east of the information booth on Route 25 in Greenport is going to be filled, before it become a
mosquito farm?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! am glad you addressed that. That park was actually named for my
Grandfather, and my family is wondering the same thing. It is not humorous. ! was actually on the
phone with Howard Burden yesterday. He parks his truck over there at Joe and Freddie's place. He
called and asked the same question. It is a question ! have asked as well, and as ! understand it the
reason that was skimmed of the topsoil was because there was arsenic in the soil, and the window
for us to utilize our landfill, if ! am correct, was closing, and the DOT and DEC recommended that
we skim the top of that, and put their topsoil in our landfill, so we have a sufficient place to get rid
of it, to dispose that soil, contaminated soil. The reason the DEC and the DOT are discussing that
property is because they have a project. Actually ! believe it is going from Cutchogue all the way to
Orient. They will be dealing the roadways there, and ! think that property is targeted by the DOT. It
is going to end up being a pond with a little bridge over it, and ! think the idea of it is that it will be
a collection sump. There would actually be fish in it, if you would like to catch fish that live in a
collection sump.
PAUL D1NIZIO: I got my own ideas of what is going to happen with that, but I am not going to
debate that with you. ! would just like to see grass planted there.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! didn't answer you on the time frame. The time frame is a year,
eighteen months, is what ! am hearing.
JAMES MCMAHON: It is hopefully going to go out, either late this fall or in January, February of
2003 with construction starting immediately thereafter, probably in the Spring of 2003.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: So, unfortunately, Paul, we are stuck with that potential.
PAUL D1NIZIO: It is it possible where the Town acquired that property next to the dump, it looks
like you are mining sand or something there, could bring some of that down there, maybe cap it
with some top soil, and plant some grass just maybe for the summer or something, so it looks
presentable?
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Actually it is a very good idea. ! will talk to Jim about that.
3/26/02 19
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: Jim, I thought that project was on tap for this spring.
JIM MCMAHON: It was originally on tap for this spring. It got bumped to the fall, and it is getting
bumped to probably the spring of 2003. It all had to do with the 9/11, and funding from the State,
and so it really actually depends on what end of Southold Town the DOT starts at. If they start in
Cutchogue, it may happen a little later.
COUNCILMAN RICHTER: It is ugly.
ARTHUR TILLMAN: Arthur Tillman, Mattituck. ! would just like to note to the Board and the
public that this year, 2002, is the 70th anniversary of the Southold Polish Democratic Club. Now,
this club has generally been rather quiet in recent years, but founded in 1932 it's purpose was to
help acclimate newer arrivals, Polish arrivals, into this town, and quite honestly get him involved in
politics, and find some jobs, and etc., etc. They were largely successful. A1 Krupski is a member of
the Polish Democratic Club. Frank Kujawski was a member of the Polish Democratic Club. What !
would ask the Board to do, if possible, at the next meeting would be a resolution recognizing the
contribution of the Southold Democratic Club, and it's current President and community, John
"Stanky" Stankewicz. We, and ! will tell you who we are at the end, we are going to have a
fundraising party honoring the Southold Polish Democratic Club, honoring John Stankewicz at the
Half Shell Restaurant, in Mattituck, 5:00 P.M., on April 14th, and the we, is the Southold Town
Democratic Club, and ! am extending an invitation to the entire Town Board. Now, ! know that
sounds kind of strange but ! happen to know one of the more prominent members of the Southold
Polish Democratic Club has been seen at Republican Events and ! know that to be fact because !
have seen him there. Tickets are $25.00 per person and ! would like to have the entire Town Board
there honoring John Stankewicz and I'd like to have a proclamation recognizing the
accomplishments of the club to present to John Stankewicz on April 14th. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: ! would just like to announce a SEEDS Sustainable East End
Development Strategies meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 4th, at the Southold High School
Auditorium. It is a meeting dealing with our transportation problems here on the east end north
fork. It's different from other meetings in that we recognize that we can't solve all of these
problems ourselves. It's between Southold Town, the South Fork, the NYS Transportation Dept.,
the Suffolk County, the bus systems, and the rail line. We need your input. The public is invited to
attend and address this group. ! would like to see everyone attend. ! hope that all of you can all
come and put your advice into the record. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: If there is no further business to come before the Town Board, I'll call
for adjournment.
On motion by Councilman Richter, seconded by Supervisor Horton, it was
RESOLVED that there being no further business to come before this meeting at this time,
adjournment be called at 6:55 p.m.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilman Richter, Councilman
Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Supervisor Horton.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
Respectfully submitted,
Elizabeth A. Neville
Southold Town Clerk
