SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am just going to say that I am really happy and pleased that the
Mighty North Fork was able to develop a new event that still is consistent with the Town's road
use policy. It's a very popular event, it's very well run. It was probably one of the biggest regrets
I had in having to support a special events on town properties and roads policy. I just felt that
was necessary. I am really pleased that everything has worked out now.

WHEREAS,there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
County, New York, on the 26th day of September, 2017 a Local Law entitled "A Local Law to
Amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to a Portion of Griffins Street,
Cutchogue,New York, SCTM# 1000-102.00-05.00-009.004, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public hearing on the
aforesaid Local Law at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold,New York, on the
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
September 26, 2017 page 21
24th day of October,2017 at 9:01 a.m. at which time all interested persons will be given an
opportunity to be heard.
The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to Amend the Town of Southold Water
Supply Plan Map to Griffins Street, Cutchogue,New York" SCTM# 1000-102.00-05.00-
009.004 reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2017
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to Amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan
Map to a Portion of Griffins Street, Cutchogue, New York".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
Section 1. Legislative Intent.
This Local Law proposes to amend the Town of Southold Water Supply Plan Map to
include the extension of a waterline to 260 Griffing Street, Cutchogue, SCTM#1000-102-5-9.4.
Historically, the Water Supply Plan Map reflects the physical changes in the water supply
network since 2000. The property owner, William J. Baxter, Jr., has represented to the Town
that he wishes to include accessory apartments in the standard subdivision. In order for the
Suffolk County Board of Health to allow this all lots in the subdivision must be serviced by
public water. The extension of the transmission main is intended to supply the Baxter
subdivision and is not intended to result in additional pressure in the area.
Section 2. Enactment.
Based on the goals of the Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County
Department of Health Services to provide safe drinking water to the Baxter subdivision, and
upon our consideration of the recommendations of the Town Planning Department, and the
public comments taken at the public hearing, we hereby amend the Town of Southold Water
Supply Plan Map to include the extension of a water line to 280 Griffing Street, Cutchogue.
Section 3.
The Southold Water Supply Plan Map as adopted by Resolution No. 31 on June 20, 2000
by the Town Board, and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2017-403, is hereby amended
to reflect the extension of a water line to the Baxter subdivision, Cutchogue.

Comments regarding resolution 821
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I just want to take a moment to thank the Board for being very
supportive of this. When this came up and we found out that the EPA is allowing potential
dumping of hazardous materials just off the shores of Southold, I felt it was imperative for us to
get involved and possibly attach ourselves to the lawsuit that New York State filed and I am glad
that we decided that even if that does not necessarily come within what we can do, that we still
do something and I appreciate that support.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, I am going to echo that this is-an effort to support New York
State in what I have described in the past as a bone headed idea to permit the dredge spoil
dumping in deposit sites in the Long Island Sound. I want to bring to the attention of everybody,
this is for nine separate private dredging operations, not a public works project. This is nine
separate private operations.

Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
Robert Dunn, Mill Lane, Peconic
ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. I just have two questions on it. That's Dunn with no
e, everybody. Someone slipped one in a month ago. The residential parking permit A, is one
and then A, B and C. The first section, that's a choice, correct? In other words you have got to
provide either a tax receipt or a valid motor vehicle registration or such other proof that is
satisfactory to the Town Clerk?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MR. DUNN: Or.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, it provides a variety of options for the Town Clerk's office to
evaluate and determine...
MR. DUNN: I just wanted to be clear on that, because some of it would be a hassle. It would
seem to me that the information, a valid tax receipt, that should be available but if it's any one of
those three, then I am fine with that. The second question is I've always gotten one for my
daughter, am I still going to be allowed to do that? How does that work?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is the car registered in your name?
MR. DUNN: No, it's her car.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Does she live with you? Does she live in the Town of Southold in
your residence?
MR. DUNN: She has a bedroom but she doesn't live here, no.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Okay, then it has to be a guest permit for her.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
September 26, 2017 page 33
MR. DUNN: Oh, I paid more. I mean, it cost me where mine was $10 or$15, hers was $40.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MR. DUNN: And I am fine with that.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Then it would not be a two year permit.
MR. DUNN: Okay.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: The lessee or the guest, hotel-motel are still going to remain one
year. It is only going to be the resident.
MR. DUNN: And I will just again, pay the appropriate amount.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Same process.
MR. DUNN: Okay,that's fine. She brings baby seats and it's just easier.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There is a discussion in raising fees, in this particular instance, I
know there was a proposal by Councilwoman Doherty to raise it from $10 to $15. The Board
felt that, you know, it's an expensive proposition maintaining beaches but our first goal should
be to try to reduce costs before we start increasing fees. There is a schedule of fees that we are
looking at for guest permits and all that. We will do that by resolution at a future date.
MR. DUNN: I don't have a problem with raising fees.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Good.
MR. DUNN: I think it's really kind of...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me take a look at what I was going to propose.
MR. DUNN: You can repeat me on that one.

code amendment that simplifies and clarifies the conditions under which a non-conforming
building may be restored.' And a letter from the Suffolk County Department of Economic and

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
Robert Dunn,Mill Lane, Peconic
ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. It took a while to get your language done, I guess.
But this gives a level of protection to a number of homes that I think are part and parcel of what
Southold is and I think wants to continue being. Thank you.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I am glad we are doing this, I've always argued that it was the right
thing to do. somebody loses their house in a tragic accident or a fire, that they should be able to
at least rebuild what they had.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: People should understand this isn't a giveaway. This is basically
letting you have what you had already had but lost it through some catastrophic event. Would
anyone else like to comment? (No response)

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: would anyone else like to address the Town Board? Bill?
Town Attorney William Duffy

Bill Shipman 175 Horseshoe Dr.,Cutchogue
BILL SHIPMAN: Bill Shipman, Cutchogue. I just wanted to share a couple of things from the
Suffolk Times, June 8, 2017 `A drunk woman was spotted walking into traffic near Horseshoe
Drive last Sunday, which would have been 6/4, responding officers found the woman to be
highly intoxicated. Returned her to her friends, at Vineyard 48, who had been searching for her
officials said.' No further action taken. Now I am going to go to August 6th, even though it
wasn't reported to the police. `Family finds couple having sex in backyard. The Cutchogue
family got an eyeful last Saturday when the couple was found getting busy in their backyard
according to a young man, his sister came into his room and told him there were people in their
backyard. The young lady is 12. The family lives on CR 48 which is directly across the road
from Vineyard 48 which has made headlines in the past. I head downstairs to the back deck and
sure enough, there's a younger couple, presumably visiting from Vineyard 48, enjoying coitus
about 30 feet from the end of the property line. So they got up and started walking towards the
highway, about a third of the way there, through the trees I see the feet stop moving. I went to
get my shoes and took a walk out to the backyard. They were enjoying an adult activity once
again. Next he told them, when I said you got to go, I mean go now, leave.' My daughter is 12,
Scott, I think your son is 12?
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
September 26, 2017 page 37
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: 13, yes.
MR. SHIPMAN: And your daughter is probably a couple of years older. So now, September 2nd
of this year, alcohol overdose at Vineyard 48. September 23rd, just this past weekend, another
alcohol overdose at Vineyard 48. So I haven't been around for a while, we have been doing
other things on Saturday's. And Sunday's, rather expensive, but I like to go out on a limb and
state, none of this, including alcohol overdoses occur at Laurel Lake, Borghese's, Macari, Lieb,
Bridge Lane, Shinn, Pellegrini, McCall, WaterCrest and the list goes on. Probably 15 or 20. A
lot of them I can't even pronounce. But why here? Someone has got to explain it to me. Keeps
me up at night, why there? I have my own idea and I know my idea is right but I want to know
why? It doesn't happen at the Valise, once in a while, okay. It usually has a bottle attached to
his head but still, it doesn't happen at the Valise, it doesn't happen at CJ's, it doesn't happen at
the AppleTree? Is that what it is now? I don't even know. No bars here have there been, there
are six alcohol overdoses last year because I have the minutes from the meeting December 6,
2016 where we discussed it and/or debated it. So why? Someone has to enlighten me or you
have to find somebody, please, to tell me why this is happening there and nowhere else across
town? Not another place.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Irresponsible management and irresponsible, grossly negligent
managing and running of the facility. And I know you are frustrated, we are too, we did start
legal action some time ago. I won't discuss the details but we have been frustrated with the time
it takes to get through the courts. We have just asked special counsel to expedite it as best he
can.
MR. SHIPMAN: What bothers me also, no further action taken. That woman was going to be
number 5, so the ambulance goes into this place, picks up a mess on the floor or in this instance,
laying next to the limousine in the parking lot and nobody takes that invitation, that you guys are
invited there, they are inviting you there. They are asking for your help. Somebody is asking for
your help. Pick them up, they are gone. Tearing ass down the road. Why isn't anybody else
going in there?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We agree. We agree.
MR. SHIPMAN: I don't know but I am assuming that you can end the bars activity for the night
if something bad happens there. Something bad is happening there, multiple times a year.
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: I don't think that's accurate.
MR. SHIPMAN: Somebody has got to do something, because there is going to be another death
and then your insurance rates are going to go up, what, another 44%?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We agree with you 100%, and we did discuss in Executive Session
today some efforts that need to be made to try to correct that or at least hold people accountable
for it. which we plan on doing. I will say that we all share your frustration. We look at other
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
September 26, 2017 page 38
agencies that have the authority to help, who although they tried once, don't seem to have any
interest anymore. And that's a shame. We report all of that stuff to them.
MR. SHIPMAN: Okay. I am asking my government officials to help me weed out corruption in
the State Liquor Authority because I have a report that they did in October of 2014, so this was
prior to their handing down their decision which it comes from counsel's office, Margarita
Mescicero, `the stay of cancellation says the licensee may conduct business with a narrow scope,
pruning vines, wine production, retail sales and related tastings solely related to those sales.
Otherwise, no allowing of any tasting parties with or without music and outdoor or indoor
venues.' So licensee is not authorized to sell cigars or cigarettes which they were up until last
year, charge a cover charge which they are circumventing by using their coins, sell mixed drinks
with sangria, promote parties of any type, have any type of party, inside or outside. No DJ's is
music allowed, the volume doesn't matter but if the music is loud we would like to take note.
No bar serving mixed drinks, should not be making noise, is noise audible from the road, are
patrons rowdy, screaming, visibly intox.' There is a five page thing that you are welcome to
have, because I am looking for help,that describes what they saw at that time.
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: That was a report from when they went to Vineyard 48?
MR. SHIPMAN: They did an undercover observation in there or whatever you want to call it. so
who knows if this even made it to where it's supposed to be but somebody who said something
bad going on, somehow this miraculously appeared on my doorstep one day.
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I would like a copy of it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will say, one of the problems here is that we have an agency
putting rules in place that it's designed to enforce its own rules and that's been difficult but from
a legal perspective, I will defer to Bill on this because we do have a pending action.
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Several.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right, several pending actions.
MR. SHIPMAN: So who's paying who?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: That's a good question.
MR. SHIPMAN: Obviously I can't pay as much as they are but something is going on there
because I have never seen, even though my experience is limited, any bar or wine tasting room
have that many alcohol overdoses in one year, 2016 they had one in May, one in June, one in
September and two or three in October. How much do you want to bet me there's going to be
two or three this October? So...
s
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
September 26, 2017 page 39
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: And it's interesting that the Governor is pushing to expand this type
of an industry and all over the state, and the state liquor authority can't get a handle on one bad
apple. It doesn't make sense to me.
MR. SHIPMAN: It didn't make sense to me until I figured out somebody is paying somebody.
That's the part that makes sense. I could be terribly wrong but I don't know, I think I am doing
pretty good on that one. This whole list, which isn't a complete list of wine tasting facilities in
Southold Town just in Southold Town, nobody else is having this. It's not happening on any of
the ones I named. Why?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: And I can tell you, from the winery owners and managers that I have
spoken to over the last couple of years, they are not happy about it either. It is putting a black
eye on their industry and they are not happy either.
MR. SHIPMAN: They are not happy about it because no one looks at the (inaudible) they have
got going on to make more of a profit. Because nobody cares. But when you live 150 feet from
a place that is producing several alcohol overdoses, where your kids are playing basketball in the
driveway and you are trying to enjoy it but you hear the thump of the music and now, you watch
the ambulance pull in across the street. So now, I don't know, now somebody dies. Right? And
then they are going to go and say, that's not my fault. There were six alcohol overdoses last
year. There are two this year. Guarantee there will be five by the end of the month.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will agree with the despicable management of the owner/operator
there. I wouldn't be so quick to let some of those off the hook because there are incidents
everywhere. If you talk to firemen they will tell you in the different fire districts the hot spots
but you are right, pales in comparison to that.
MR. SHIPMAN: Has Greenport had any alcohol overdoes lately?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: No but we had a problem with one bar there, I think it shut down for
that reason.
MR. SHIPMAN: The Whiskey Wind?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Yes. Didn't take a long time to have that happen.
MR. SHIPMAN: So this is since 2011. Here I stand in 2017.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I am counting 10. You sent this to me, it says December of 2016,
10 alcohol overdoses. I would like to have a copy of that paper.
MR. SHIPMAN: Oh, I definitely made a copy. But somebody had suggested to me to contact
my state representatives. Well, that is going to be like pulling teeth. So you guys all work the
same hours.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
September 26, 2017 page 40
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let's do this, let's organize a meeting through my office with state
representatives to discuss the issue in detail. Senator LaValle did reach out to us early on, he
said he is going to help me anyway he can. Unfortunately, he is one of 100 Senators.
MR. SHIPMAN: That was in December of 2016 you told me that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And he is dealing with a governor who favors wineries heavily, I am
sorry, beer distilleries, drinking type of institutions heavily.
MR. SHIPMAN: Which is fine, as long as it's moderated to not having alcohol overdoses. This
isn't, we are missing the point, this is in the middle of the day, this is in the afternoon between
the hours of 12 in the afternoon and 6:00 at night, not 2:00 in the morning when there's nobody
awake to see it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would say it's fine as long as there's enforceable rules in place. I
do not see that, I don't see the will to create those yet at the state level. I agree,we agree.
MR. SHIPMAN: But this is still happening in our town, this is still happening 150 feet from my
house, that's why I am here. There has to be something more that can be done when a particular
business or place is producing the alcohol overdoses that they are producing. They are going to
argue, they didn't get drunk in my place. Well, they might not have got drunk at your place but
you are the one that's serving them and collecting the $10 or $15 cover charge. So, they are not
free from the wrath here...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. No.
MR. SHIPMAN: This is, I still can't believe that this is happening. It makes you want to pull
your hair out.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I believe in New York State you are not allowed to serve an
intoxicated person regardless of where they were before, regardless of how drunk they were
when they came into the place. You are still not allowed to serve them. You are right, they are
not absolved.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: The last person that serves them is the responsible person,
under the tips law.
MR. SHIPMAN: I will just say that years ago I said something is going to happen, and that
happened and I am getting that dread in my stomach again and as a concerned taxpayer I don't
want the insurance rates to go up another 44%.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I agree. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Give that to me, will you Bill?
