pertains to siting of commercial solar energy systems"
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
1. Purpose. The Town Board of the Town of Southold recognizes the importance of renewable
energy facilities. However, it is equally important to protect our natural resources by
providing standards for solar energy production facilities on those lands that have been
previously cleared and/or disturbed. It is altogether reasonable that the Town Board makes
adequate provisions for these facilities, and it is imperative that such facilities do not
adversely affect surrounding and nearby properties. It is therefore the intent of this section
to provide adequate safeguards for the location, siting and operation of solar energy
production facilities and solar collection systems.
11. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:

I do have a signed affidavit here that this has been noticed on the Town Clerk's bulletin board, as
well as in the Suffolk Times. A letter from the Suffolk County Department of Economic
Development and Planning, that this is a matter for local determination, there is'no apparent
county-wide or significant impacts. A decision of local determination should not be construed as
either an approval or disapproval. And that's it.
Supervisor Scott A. Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would invite anybody that would like to address the Town Board
on this local law to please feel free?
Ralph Vivinetto, Southold
RALPH VIVINETTO: I am Ralph Vivinetto from Southold. And we are here, my neighbors
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
April 10, 2018 page 52
and other neighbors concerned what is going to be in here, they started cutting trees down and
we just want some information so I guess you just gave it to us April 10, so should I address
my....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Oh, the information for?
MR. VIVINETTO: For the low housing, right here on Wells Avenue.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There is no proposal for housing. You are talking about the vacant
lot that is across from Feather Hill?
MR. VIVINETTO: Yes.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There is no proposal for housing on that lot, that was actually
recently purchased by a developer. I am unaware of him having any specific goals. There had
been proposals over the years for senior housing there but it wouldn't be addressed by the, this
particular amendment that we are making. This if for residential properties and it would be for
one accessory apartment per property.
MR. VIVINETTO: So what you are saying is there is nothing being built there?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: He had asked for permission from the town to clear some of the
dead wood, some of the trees and that's all he did but we have no application pending.
MR. VIVINETTO: So as far as you know, there is nothing going on?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Nothing going on.
MR. VIVINETTO: That's good for me. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Who else would like to address the Town Board on this
particular local law?
Clement Charnews,Southold
CLEM CHARNEWS: Hi, my name is Clem Charnews, good evening. On the accessory
apartments, I don't know if this is the right forum but I do have some questions.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure.
MR. CHARNEWS: One is I didn't quite catch the deal on the CO. My building has never had a
CO, they are 150 years old. Is that an issue?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It shouldn't be. I would defer all the issues of the CO to the chief
building inspector. Under the legislation previously, the house, the garage needed to be CO'd I
think 5 years prior or cutoff date of 2008 and what we did was we eliminated that as a
requirement.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
April 10, 2018 page 53
MR. CHARNEWS: I thought so.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: So you can come in and get a new CO based on the construction.
MR. CHARNEWS: So I have been watching this a little bit, I have a couple more questions, I
don't know if this is the right forum...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, please.
MR. CHARNEWS: Number one is from what I understand there is a list, you know, if you don't
have a family member to rent the apartment you have a list or somebody here has a list. How is
this list originated, you know, what is the criteria?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. We have an affordable housing registry and the registry is
created by following income guidelines that are established by the town each year. there's
probably right now 147 names. It's very outdated because it's an older list and one of the
problems is, when you go to canvas to say update the list, people lose interest because they
applied to be on the list year after year and when nothing gets built, their interest starts to wane.
But generally speaking, there's criteria, there's a hierarchy, town residents, certain income
criteria and all of those things get followed. You don't have to be on the list to rent to someone,
they just need to qualify for that criteria.
MR. CHARNEWS: Oh, if I know someone that is not on that list and they happen to qualify as
being local or....
JUSTICE EVANS: They do have to get put on the list.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They have to qualify for the criteria on the list but yes, if you have
someone you want to rent to and as long as they can come in and meet the criteria to be on the
list, then yes, you can rent to them.
MR. CHARNEWS: And one other thing because I didn't see this in your literature, I guess, is the
rents controlled by some degree?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, the rents are established by town code each year, I can give
you, I should have brought it with me tonight but I didn't, I am sorry but the rents themselves
aren't necessarily aren't inconsistent, probably less but not substantially less than what the
current market rent would be on the apartment anyway.
MR. CHARNEWS: So would a 450 square foot apartment rent for the same thing as a nice new
700 square foot apartment?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. No. The size of the, size of the number of bedrooms would
change the rent that's allowed to be collected, the occupancy in terms of how many family
members,just as a benchmark. There's a proposal in Greenport right now, I am not saying it's
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
April 10, 2018 page 54
going forward, I am just saying in that particular case, I think it's some 40 apartments. The
studio would rent for about $900 a month and then that goes up based on size and family, the
size of the family to about I believe $1,60041,700.
MR. CHARNEWS: Okay. So if I have any more of these kinds of questions, where do I find
the details, who do I talk to in Town Hall?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure, Denis Noncarrow is located right in my office. He would be
in charge of overseeing the affordable housing program. It's 765-1889, Denis. You can call me
if you want and I will make sure he gets the message.
MR. CHARNEWS: Terrific. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Town Board on this local law?
Ural Talgat, Greenport
URAL TALGAT: Hi. My name is Ural Talgat, I am an architect, living and working in town. I
also didn't know all the particulars about the law, so I came in here with a different kind of
vision about what this law was about. But I also want to point out a couple of things to the board
because back in 2002, I was asked to participate in a law about controlling density and
something called McMansions and accessory structures were part of that. I would like to show
the town board a couple of pieces of paper...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please.
MR. TALGAT: These are structures that'meet the current law and these are structures that meet
the proposed law in terms of size. As an architect, this is (inaudible) and doesn't need to be
revamped in order to move into the next realm of law and if you guys can pass that along, you
can see the difference as an architect (inaudible). This is also a offset of buildings with the
existing law as it stands today. Each one of those pictures demonstrate a size, a volume, building
on a piece of property and I guess I am very sensitive to that because I look out my kitchen
window and I can see the sky. When you have accessory structures that are placed to the
property line that then limits the view to the sky, I have a problem with that. Part of, I have a
couple of things here that were written back in 2002 regarding accessory structures. I would like
to also give this to the board, it's my own copy so if you could just give them back to me, but if
you can review them and understand what it means to have a larger volume space, to me what
that means is, when I studied that and when we came up with the notion of dormer size, dormer
width of 40 % versus 80 % of what the code wants to go to that would mean an extra bedroom
and to us, an extra bedroom is wonderful, it's fine but in the middle of summer when everyone is
out here, that extra bedroom also means an extra car on the road and trying to get from where I
live to the LIE, it used to take me an hour and 45 minutes to go into Queens, now it takes me two
hours to go into Riverhead to get to the LIE, so if you were adding more cars on the roads with
more volume of accessory structures, our time limit of driving during peak periods is going to be
so much more. And I am afraid to think, three hours driving from Greenport to the LIE? That's
a little bit much. Now this was in 2002, back then the commute was fine but somewhere
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
April 10, 2018 page 55
between 2002 and 2018, the traffic has increased tremendously and this has to do with the
density on a piece of property and by adding an extra bedroom to already a single family parcel,
that's an extra car. And if we say for example, today or next year we allow 100 of these
applications to go forward and year after year, you add to that, that's 500 more cars on the road
in a total of five years. Now that traffic to the LIE, given the two byways we have, the Main
Road and the North Road, if one of those byways closes down, the commute is going to be crazy.
I am sure everyone here has sat in traffic trying to get from point A to point B, we try to avoid it,
not traveling during those periods in time but if you can just imagine, on a Sunday afternoon you
need to get to Stony Brook University and those roads are just inundated by traffic, that's going
to be a burden to all of us here. So I would like the Board to consider that, it's for our future and
our future so far back in 2002 to today has been kind of a burden for us who live and work here,
I can't just imagine in 15 years what that's going to be. I just want the Town Board to kind of
look through the paperwork and think about those issues. I wonder when we go in front of a
Planning Board to do a project, a commercial project, traffic studies are required, sometimes. H
as a traffic study been required on a law like this?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, it hasn't.
MR. TALGAT: And I think it's important, a traffic study is important. This kind of law will
take the population on the road and I am just afraid. That's it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I just want to address one thing with regard to the population. It's
very narrow on who can live in the apartment and they are already living here. A family member
is already part of the town, his car is already on the road.
MR. TALGAT: Yes, but a friend can always call up and say hey, it's a wonderful weekend, why
don't you come out from the city or wherever you are coming out from, that's an extra car, an
extra bedroom. An extra bedroom means an extra car, driving out here.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It would also void the terms for the ZBA approval and they could
have it revoked.
MR. TALGAT: Alright, okay, but it's a friend for the night. you are spending the night, you are
going to go back, again, it's cars on the road for the weekend. It affects my life, it affects
everybody's life here. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board on this
particular local law?
Bill Gillooly, Orient
BILL GILLOOLY: Bill Gillooly from Orient. I hadn't intended to speak and I really don't have
a prepared statement but I am more concerned not about traffic, not about the LIE and getting to
Queens or to Stony Brook, I am concerned about the fact that the Town of Southold graduates
between 150 and 200 kids a year from the schools in Mattituck and Southold and Greenport,
having been a lifelong resident here, I am concerned about the fact with prices going up, kids are
having an awful hard time staying here and if we can get them started here, I don't think they
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
April 10, 2018 page 56
will be going up island, I hope they will be going into the Greenport IGA for their needs, I hope
that parents that have lived here all their lives, will find a way by either renting to their child or
trading houses with their child, moving into a smaller unit, that they will be able to stay here.
Maybe have a small income and maybe be able to offset some of the other expenses that are
going on in Southold Town. I applaud the Board for looking into this, for considering it and I
hope that you have other ideas that are as good as this for the future. Thank you.

Closing Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on any issue?
Please.
Matilda Busana, Southold
MATILDA BUSANA: My name is Matilda Busana and I am here with my wife Bronwyn
Guthrie. We reside at 1360 South Harbor Road in Southold. I just wonder if the Supervisor or
anybody can enlighten us what the situation is with Croteau Vineyards? We are their neighbors.
As Mr. Croteau has let it be known that he actually intends to trade, to be open this summer.
Now in light of the ZBA determination, July 6, 2017, for all intents and purposes Mr. Croteau is
not to open and trade. So I have been trying to get a response from the town and I haven't gotten
one, so I wonder if someone can please enlighten us, so that we can brace ourselves or not to the
traffic and disturbance of the summer?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. I have to be limited, I will address the larger issue but then I
have to be limited for legal reasons. Actually the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals which
didn't permit it is the law of the land. That decision however has been challenged in court.
There is no resolution, that hasn't been adjudicated yet, so that hasn't gone before a judge yet.
But in the current climate,the ZBA said you can't operate, you can't operate.
MS. BUSANA: So why does he think he can and he wants our support to open? Because he
was told by the town that if we don't complain, then he can open and sell out and go on until the
end of the summer.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I do not know, he might be addressing the issues that were raised at
the ZBA level. Again, don't forget, he has appealed that. There's issues that need to be worked
out legally. What we have for the time being is the ZBA decision that says he can't open. But I
really need to more limited and I will defer to Bill at this point.
MS. BUSANA: Sure, that's fine. So does that mean that he can't open? I will repeat again,
why is he coming to us and saying the town has said that if you neighbors don't complain, I can
trade? Is that right?
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
April 10;2018 page 57
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, no, inaudible.
MS. BUSANA: It's not right. That puts us in the position now that we are the adjudicators and
we would have thought that after the ZBA determination, an order would have been issued to
Mr. Croteau to say, you know like the lealth department puts something on your window, to say
you can no longer trade. So it sorts of uts the responsibility back on us which we didn't think
we had. We are taxpayers, we are not embers of the Board.
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: His attorney has made attempts to get permission from the town
to open and he has been rejected by the own...
MS. BUSANA: Well, I wish somebod3 would tell Mr. Croteau so he doesn't come to us and try
to blackmail us into a position of allowing him to trade. Will somebody please tell Mr. Croteau
that he is not to open this summer?
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Well, we can't talk to him directly but we can advise his
counsel. We did hear that he had plans to open, I contacted his attorney and instructed him that
if he tried to open without proper approvals that we would act swiftly on it.
MS. BUSANA: So could anybody please help us in helping us decide what our position is and
what we should do in response?
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: I will all you tomorrow, I will call his attorney tomorrow too
and tell him to leave you alone.
MS. BUSANA: I think you have my contact, Mr. Duffy, don't you?
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Yes, I do.
MS. BUSANA: Okay, thank you very much.
