SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, before we get to the regular business of the Town Board, we
are meeting for the purposes of a public hearing which is an appeal to a denial of a special event

COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town
of Southold hereby sets Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 9:OOA.M. at the Southold Town Meeting
Hall , 53095 Main Road, Southold,New York 11971 as the time and place for a Public Hearing

Company; LLC., 42155 Main Road, Peconic,New York 11958
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 3
I do have in the file here a legal notice of the public hearing which was posted on the Town
Clerks website and bulletin board. I also have an affidavit that this was published in the Suffolk
Times. I also have the request of the appeal here from Richard Vandenburg, asking that we have
this hearing. This is for a special event for Greenport Harbor Brewery, it is an event that will be
a substantial fundraiser for the Guide Dog Foundation.. I have from the Zoning Board of Appeals
a letter of denial denying the application for special event based upon the Town Police and the
Town Planning Department have expressed concerns about the proposed event siting potential
traffic congestion and off-street and off-site parking problems. And I do have a copy of the
permit application here in case we need to reference that. And that's it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to invite anybody that would like to address the Board?
RICH VANDENBURGH: Thank you. Good morning. My name is Richard Vandenburgh, I am
the person that filed the application on behalf of Greenport Harbor Brewery. I want to start by
thanking the Town Board for having, giving us the opportunity to be heard on this appeal. I have
a few comments that I would like to make relative to who we are and what the purpose of this
event is and how we had planned to address some of those concerns. So the first thing I want to
talk about is who is Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, well, we are a nine year old company
that was started by two best friends. My best friend John Liegey and I, we met in college and
always one day dreamed of starting a business together and particularly a brewery. Nine years
ago, July 12, 2009, we were fortunate enough to find a building down in Greenport Village and
we invested all of our savings and retirement accounts to start that business. We purchased and
totally renovated a commercially zoned building that was close to being condemned in the
Village and we believe created an asset that is a destination location in the Village of Greenport.
We hired, we have hired local young men and women from our community and now employ 15
full-time and 10 part-time employees. We have sponsored work force housing for our
employees, we provide healthcare and retirement benefits to them as well. We expanded our
business and purchased a second commercially zoned property that was long-standing eyesore
and non-productive parcel in the Town of Southold, specifically in the hamlet of Peconic. We
renovated that location with our bare hands into what we believe to be an attractive and vibrant
location. We have invested millions of dollars in bringing these locations to a point where they
are viewed as a positive additions to the craft beverage segment. A local roots economic impact
and a positive visual landscaped business located on the North Fork. But just as important and
relative that these points may be, we are also local. We are invested in the community and
support the community around us. it may be in supporting a retirement party for a local official
or policeman or a neighbor in our community. It may be in supporting an election campaign,
meet or greet or celebration of a successful election. It may be hosting one of the many
fundraisers we have been involved with for a local child with incurable cancer, youth
organizations looking to raise money or a chamber of commerce or a school district or a religious
institution. We are local and continue to invest in our community. We regularly support and
donate to more than 84 different organizations in and around our community, it may be
supporting the many events of Eastern Long Island Hospital throughout the year, it may be
supporting our neighbors in uniform from being the founding sponsor of the Peconic Landing
veterans wedding every year since they have started, to supporting Southold PBA events,
supporting and donating to local fire departments, Suffolk and Nassau County police
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 4
departments, as well as the New York State Chief of Police Association. It may be the Cornell
Cooperative Extension and the many marine programs to protect our bays and aquaculture, it
may be one of the shelters that provide for the less fortunate. Or it may be one of the civic
organizations that premise their success in involving more of our community to support their
worthy causes such as the Rotary, Knights of Columbus, Lions Club, Chambers of Commerce
for Southold, Mattituck, North Fork Environmental Council, Long Island Pine Barrens, etc. We
have hosted events supporting donations, those and more. In the nine years we have grown our
business, we have contributed close to $500,000 in donations, services and support to our
community. We don't do these things because they are money makers for us, we do it because it
is the right thing to do. The right thing to do is to support your community and support your
neighbors and we believe strongly in that. so we are here today because our application to host
the North Fork dock diving fund raiser was denied and I was made aware last week that there
were questions raised by the Planning Board and the Police Department as to the parking
situations and how we planned to handle that this year. Last year was our first time running that
event, it was a success, we learned a lot and ultimately understood that we would have to
continue to address how we were going to handle our parking and traffic congestion. Last year
for the record, we actually were able to secure the cooperation of the Southold School, where
they allowed us to have an off-site parking location and we actually hired three shuttles to
transport people to and from that location in order to alleviate some of what we expected to be,
the congestion we would have expected to in our first year. And for the record, we never told
anyone to park on town property. My security staff and parking attendants were always
specifically instructed to tell people to go to the high school and they would get a free shuttle to
the event. So I was made aware of these questions and concerns that the police department and
the Planning Board had as to the parking situation and how we were going to handle it.
unfortunately, I was never made aware of those questions nor had I been given the opportunity to
answer or further explain our parking plan, what we intended to do for this year's event. So it
was a little bit of a surprise that I didn't have the opportunity to explain what we had planned to
do, so let me just quickly explain what we plan to do. The event is June 2 and 3 from 9:00 AM
to 5:00 PM, this date was specifically chosen to occur before July 1 in order to avoid the added
congestion of the summer season. The benefit of the event will be the Guide Dog Foundation, as
you noted, a nationally not for profit organization that provides trained dogs for the visually
impaired, virtually no cost. Our net proceeds of this event will be donated to that organization.
This is a family event. The opportunity to bring your own dog to compete is a fun experience for
all ages. The popularity of the event is significant, much like the Strawberry Festival, it appears
to have some real legs as they say. And as a result, there is a significant influx of patrons who
wish to be part of the event. So while parking is limited at our immediate location, we have
secured the additional off-site parking for those who wish to attend. There will be directional
signage that will be located at those intersections to direct those vehicles to those off-site
locations, in addition to mobile device mapping assistance that you will be able to pull up on
your phone if you are coming into the area and you will be able to find those two locations by
way of our Instagram, Facebook and website. As I say, there will be free shuttles to transport
those visitors to the off-site parking locations, there will be three shuttles in total and those
shuttles will run continuously from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM between all locations. We expect that
there will be no more than a 15-20 minute wait, tops, at all locations. We do not and have never
instructed patrons to park in town parking lots or on the street. We have posted the signage and
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 5
will post signage again at set up areas to prevent that from happening, clearly indicating those
vehicles would be ticketed if they were found to be parking illegally. And we have three
privately hired security personnel to supervise the event grounds and oversee parking. And we
will have four on-site parking attendants assisting with the organized, safe, effective parking of
vehicles on the property and we will have one attendant at each of the off-site locations, ensuring
that that same process is followed. In addition, we will have numerous volunteers throughout the
area providing assistance and backup as needed. So this experience of this event is unique and a
wholesome family outing and the process of cultivating and communicating a clear
understanding of where patrons and visitors should park is a training process that takes some
time. we are committed to making that process work and I have already engaged in a schedule
of awareness communication across multiple platforms, as I said our Instagram, Facebook,
website, email blasts as well as Twitter I believe that will continue to educate our visitors on
where they need to go and to avoid parking in places they should not be parking in. Therefore,
we at Greenport Harbor are asking that you exercise your individual decision making power and
support a good cause, through a positive event, held by a responsible business held on a
commercially zoned piece of property. Thank you. I don't know if anyone-has any questions?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Yes, I have questions.
MR. VANDENBURGH: May I share with you a list of our(inaudible).
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Mostly this is just for the record, can you tell me how many parking
spaces you have on that piece of property?
MR. VANDENBURGH: On that particular piece of property we have 110 parking spaces. We
have been fortunate enough to secure, we purchased two parcels across the street, one parcel
which was the former First Class Autobody holds an additional 30-35 cars and then the other
parcel next to that where the Virtual 3 D business is located holds about 10.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: So the 110 parking spots on that parcel would all be full?
MR. VANDENBURGH: 110, yeah, what we do is we actually have all our employees park off-
site, so 110 is what is on the map but honestly we have parked 130-140 cars on the property over
there by the operational facilities, the back yard on Peconic Lane were the garage doors are.
Normally we don't allow patrons to park there during regular business hours because we are kind
of operating there but we can park another 30-40 cars.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, what is on the site plan?
MR. VANDENBURGH: 110.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: So that is how many parking spaces you have for that piece of
commercial property?
MR. VANDENBURGH: On the site plan.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 6
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right. Okay. Not breaking the site plan, you only have 110.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Not breaking the site plan, we only have 110.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay and they will all be utilized on that day?
MR. VANDENBURGH: Absolutely.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay.
MR. VANDENBURGH: And I should note, what happens typically with this event, there will
be people that will come and will spend several hours and then they will leave. So we are
ultimately cycling in people into those spots as they come and go.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: So how do you control people from, that aren't parked on your site
from getting onto you site?
MR. VANDENBURGH: How do we control?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: The town has a responsibility, okay, and you went through a site
plan and you agreed to certain things on that piece of property.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Right.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right, you said this is a brewery, someday I will open a restaurant,
whatever it is, and okay, they said you got 110 parking spaces. You have so much occupancy for
what you are building. So assuming that 110, assuming 2 in cars, 200 people can go on that
piece of property. Correct?
MR. VANDENBURGH: If it's two people per car, that makes sense. It might be four people
per car but...
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Okay, but just trying to get to the point that the town has a
responsibility that's not necessarily that we are looking at how gracious you are or how much
money you give to a certain organization or even if the organization is worthy of you know, the
donation that those people are going to make or rather to the entire town and how the flow of the
town works and health, welfare, safety goes along with that, so you know, we are planning and
you have agreed to a site plan that allows you to have 110 cars on that piece of property, on a
good day, because you know, let's face it, it's not on a Wednesday and I certainly understand
that but there is a maximum capacity for that lot, regardless of whether or not you have parking
off-site the lot itself is the piece of that site plan, that we all planned on. You came, you told the
public, everybody had their say so I am just trying to figure out how do you, you know, you have
a parking lot in Southold, how do you control them to coming on to your piece of property when
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 7
your parking lot and all we planned on is exceeding the maximum capacity we planned on for
you know, many years?
MR. VANDENBURGH: I will try to respond to that, I understand the concern being the
responsibility that you have to the town would be the safety issues, level of quality of life, kind
of connected to those safety issues. We also have people that arrive by Hampton Jitney, you
know and there are people that get dropped off by taxis or Ubers, there are people that are
visiting or coming out you know, there's no secret to anyone in the room that the North Fork is a
very attractive place to come and visit or stay, so we are also hoping that that mass transit aspect
will help us in terms of that traffic/parking conditions on the property. Last year we had a
number of, I am not sure of an exact head count but there was never any issue, we never had a
problem. I know the parking was more of a challenge last year, so this is why we have located
these additional off-site parking locations and those shuttles will collect up to 16 people at a
time, bring them, drop them off and continue on their way. So the hope is that we are alleviating
the fact that if we were to say as a business that we are only allowed to have 200 people as a
business....
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, that's what you agreed to.
MR. VANDENBURGH: For a site plan with regards to parking.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right.
MR. VANDENBURGH: But I didn't agree to say that once you get to the 200th person that
walks off the bus, 201 takes the bus out here, walks up to my door, it would be absurd to think
that I should be saying I am sorry you can't get off the bus, ride your bike here or walk, we have
a number of neighbors and fans and friends that actually walk from their homes down Wells
Lane, Indian Neck Lane, they walk there, so I can appreciate the fact that once you get to the
point where you have 110 cars on the property, to place more cars technically is over-stepping
what our site plan allows for.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: It's not technically, sir. It's what you agreed to.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am sorry, it over steps what our site plan allows for, by having 111
cars on our property creates it but it doesn't necessarily mean that if I had 110 cars on my
property with one person driving each car to mean that to not allow in the 111 th person because
I've only got, to me, I don't think the number of cars should actually dictate how many people
are actually appearing at our location. I just kind of find that the reverse of what makes sense in
terms-of how you would expect to run a business.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, no, running a business is fine. I am a business man myself, I
agree with that but you know, we are trying to run a town.
MR. VANDENBURGH: And we are trying to cooperate with your running the town.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 8
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And how we do that, we gather people, we have a public meeting
and everybody agrees to a certain conduct as to how they are going to run a business on that
piece of property. And that's what's expected on that piece of property. Once you exceed that,
then you know, there are problems. Obviously the Chief of Police has a problem with it and I
am just wondering, you know, and I know you are searching for a ways to, because I know it is
very successful event, fine, a ways to help alleviate that but you can't just say that because
people are parked on a state highway on both sides of the road for a mile each way that that's not
something we didn't help create, that situation that you didn't help create that our officers have
to know stand in the middle of the road and do something about. So that's where...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am not denying that, that's why we are trying to work with the town
in terms of creating alternatives and making sure that people are educated so they know that that
is not supposed to happen.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right. So that's what I am getting at. How do you intend to do
that?
MR. VANDENBURGH: With our security personnel, with our hosting, actually when I was
made aware that the chief had these concerns I actually reached out to Chief Flatley. We've had
a great relationship with Chief Flatley and chatted with him and he explained to me, his concerns
was that how are you going to educate people to get to these other spots? He told me that he had
emailed that question to the ZBA and never heard back from them. They never reached out to
me. So the process by which we are trying to do that is by way of this email campaign, this
social media campaign, the people that attend this thing are typically people that heard about it
and you know are on Facebook, are friends with us on the website, so they are being made
aware. We've already started that campaign, there will be four or five more posts on different
days during the week that we will continue to reinforce the fact that you cannot park on the
street, you will be ticketed and then on top of that and I discussed this with Chief Flatley, I said,
Chief we can absolutely as we have in the past, gone and put up signs that say no parking, you
will be ticketed and we get in trouble with the town and we appeal to them on all levels to say
please don't park here. Then we will have additional parking attendants as well as the security
personnel, then if that happens within as much as a visual space that we have and we control, we
are going to go tell them, no you cannot park there.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right, that's what I am getting at, now...I don't think we can ticket
someone that parks on the state highway, I don't think that's something that the police chief can
do. And that's fine. I personally don't want my police officers walking down alongside that
road, okay, if we don't have to. So you know, I am looking at your application and I know you
have this whole thing and the reason why I ask you how you intend to control how people get on
your property is you know, if say you're up to the 110 and someone walks up to your piece of
property and wants to get on, why can't we somehow have them present you with something that
says they parked properly?
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 9
MR. VANDENBURGH: I see. So you are saying if you walk down Peconic Lane or they
walked up 25, we don't know where they parked. So where did you park? I see. Well, I guess
we can inquire of them, f am not sure really how....
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, how about you know, if say at Southold you issue them, they
purchase their entry onto your piece of property there?
MR. VANDENBURGH: Well, so now we are conducting it as a free event because right now
that's what we plan to do. Next year we plan to entertain making it a more ticket event.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: They don't even have to be purchased, they just have to be given to
them. In other words, if you park in the Southold parking lot, then you have the right to come on
to your piece of property on that day for that particular event. If you don't have that piece of
paper okay, it means that you didn't go to Southold parking and you didn't take the shuttle, okay,
it means that, okay, let's take the Wells Avenue people out of this because quite honestly, how
many of them can there possibly be? I am talking about the masses, what we saw there last year,
okay. Which I am trying to get my police officers off the road, okay? if it's not necessary and
again, my whole line of questioning is that we as a town planned on something at that location
and you agreed to it. Now we are taking it to another step, we are taking it beyond what you
want to do. A special event. Okay? Well, anybody can have a special event but does it
necessarily mean that we have to have cars parked for a mile each way on a state highway that
we never planned on for that piece of property. That's what I am trying to get at. So, how do we
make it so that you control where people come from'when they park. That is of the utmost
importance to me, there may be other issues but honestly, that's the, traffic is the big issue now,
so you need to come up with some way to say that, hey, here's, you are not coming on here if
you have parked at the Peconic School, you are not getting on here unless you park where we've
made the arrangements. We've told the Town Board on this day, okay, you would be going if I
didn't have room on my piece of property.
MR. VANDENBURGH: So let me just, a couple of those things, the off-site parking lots, you
know, those folks would be coming on our shuttles. They wouldn't really be able, they would
have to walk more than a mile, approximately a mile to get where we are from their off-site
parking. So the locations, you know, what we had found too, at some level, people will walk
down the street, they will go to Duck Walk, they will go to Osprey, they will go to one of the
other vineyards, you know, Sannino and that's where they are parking and they will walk from
that particular parking location.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Honestly, look, there has got to be a compromise here. Those
people cannot get onto your piece of property. Those people have got to follow the plan that you
are issuing to us. if you are saying to me, I got off-street parking. That's how we are going to
settle the problem we have got now because of what the Chief said, okay, if you vary from that,
if you say Sannino has 10 parking spaces and....
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 10
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am not telling them to park there, I am simply saying they go to that
business, they go to that vineyard, they are there and they taste wine and then they just simply
leave their car at the vineyard, on their property. They have patronized that business...
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: That's fine. They can walk to wherever they would like to but they
can't get on your piece of property without some way of being on the parking that you provided,
that you said for your event, you have made arrangements for. Not Sannino, I could ride my
bike from Greenport...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am confused, Mr. Dinizio. Because if they are patronizing the
business that is up the street and they decide to leave their car there, walk down and visit our
business instead of getting in their car and traveling farther away to an off-site parking to then
take a shuttle, because you know, in terms of understanding, I know Osprey and Duck Walk on
some level we have-the same working relationships because they do the same thing at our
facility...
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Let me tell you why, because you are no longer,a business if you are
doing a special event. It's something different. It's the something that is the next step up on
what you have agreed to do on a commercial piece of property. I am all for making the
accommodations to figure out how you can do that because, look, I want you guys to be
successful. I want, in February I want you to have enough money to get yourself to April, okay?
That's fine but again, if you are going to tell me that you have made arrangements for parking
and then you don't control okay, for that particular event the people that come on your property,
look, then honestly, you are just back to the chaos. So remember,.it's not like you are going to
downtown Greenport and then bar hopping, okay, it's, you are saying you want to do something
special, it exceeds all of the site plan that you agreed to you know, nine years back. Okay, fine,
like I said, we are seasonal, we need to make the money while we can, we need to, I need to get
you to commit to controlling the people that are going to be on that piece of property. Some of
those people are going to be angry because they can't get on, because they didn't follow the plan
that you are proposing to us. and I know no business man wants to do that either but you know,
nobody wants to have 10 events going on with five police officers trying to control that.
MR. VANDENBURGH: And I'm not saying that we are not wanting, I think we are investing in
trying to work with the Town and the Town's concerns,this way but I just, realistically I just, I
am concerned that there is a certain exalting some form over substance in terms of, if the idea is
to avoid people parking on the street, which I am totally on board with, I understand that, that
should be how that happens and not on town property, not on the Peconic school lot and not at
Tasker, shouldn't be in those locations. I have discussed this with Chief Flatley as well, saying
is it possible to set up a barricade, you know to prevent people from accessing that particular lot?
You know, we could entertain, the Chief didn't necessarily want to do that. I said can I put a
parking attendant down there to say I am sorry, you can't park here in this particular lot, in order
to keep people out of the town lot? I mean, where I get worried about form over substance
though is we take all these measures where we want the town and we want the neighbors and our
neighbors to be able to enjoy the park and enjoy the functions that may be occurring at Peconic
school and we are not necessarily want the town to support a private endeavor, our business, by
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 11
saying please let us park there. So my objective is to make sure we do not have parking and
safety issues that are on the streets. Anything we do to alleviate that by offering this additional
off-site parking and the shuttles that are running to kind of conduct people in and out, you know,
I certainly can appreciate and we can certainly look at, again, controlling that street, Peconic
Lane and more of to say if you see someone parking there to say you have got to move, you
won't be allowed into the grounds and we can do that but at some level, if people are visiting
other businesses and parking legally off the street and then walking to our business, I don't see
how it, just I am having a hard time reconciling how we are like, sorry, you can't park here
because you are not parked in the right spot, you are parked at that guys business even though'he
thinks it's okay. You have got to go park where we are telling you to park.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Yes. Bingo. That's the, it's not because I don't want you to have it,
it's because you are telling us that that's the arrangement,that you made for your event.
MR. VANDENBURGH: We did, we made that arrangement as well.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: They are coming on your property, they have to follow the
arrangements you made for your event. You know, you can't go stand in front of the Peconic
School, it's a public place. People get to use that 24/7. Okay? So a private business can't say
you can't park here.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Not if you are going to the event. That's my point. You are coming in
to go to a knitting class or something, come on in.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: You don't have any right to do that.
MR. VANDENBURGH: The Chief told me that, again, my point is, we are trying to continue to
find solutions to make it work.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: That's why I am having this discussion right now. I think you need
to tighten up that, you know, you have an event, you have so many people on there, you are
exceeding what we planned on, you know, just through the (inaudible) process. Now, let's
figure out how to make this event successful and not impose what you want to do on other
facilities of the town. Which is you know, our police, our code enforcement officers, that's what
I'm aiming for. So like I am saying, you are going to have to control the people coming on that
property. I don't know how you are going to do that but it's not giving them permission to come
on to your property because they go to the place you want them to park, if it's not that, then
come up with some other idea.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I think our plan next year is to basically make it a ticketed event. And
so, you are not going to be able to, we will continue to explore other off-street parking
accommodations. If we find that the ones that we provided for thus far that are going to hold
close to another 150-180 cars I think. If that is not working then we will continue to explore.
We are not, we are not trying to get away with something, we are trying to build something that
is positive on the North Fork. And also, my conversation with Chief Flatley, he told me that he
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 12
doesn't have a problem with vehicles parking on the right side of Peconic Lane, up to the school,
up to the old Peconic School, because again, he's like not on both sides, the right side is okay.
So again, my point being we want to continue to work to find ways to alleviate and make sure
everybody stays safe and that our officers stay safe and we are just asking for the time to do that
and this hopefully this year will be another great step forward, next year will be even better with
a ticketed event. We plan to do that, it's going to be a little tricky to do that because of all the
publicity thus far but next year it's going to be a ticketed event.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Not withstanding any of Councilman Dinizio's remarks, it seems
that the learning experience from the previous year involved pretty much parking and where not
to park. It involved confrontation between your security staff and the head of the Department of
Public Works who is the Superintendent of Parks and it involved the police department with a
complaint being filed.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Against my...
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Against the employee of the town.
MR. VANDENBURGH: A complaint was filed against the employee of the town?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Yes. For telling people you can't park at the Community Center
and the Recreation Center. He got the who are you attitude from your security people...
MR. VANDENBURGH: Uh huh.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: So my point is, if we are all going to be in this together and
everything you said in your opening remarks I don't dispute, I live here too and I have lived here
my whole life and I understand but to Jim's point, we are talking about a special event,
something that is above and beyond. None of us who live and work here and have to deal with
the things,we deal with want to be contacted at the 11t" hour and be asked the fuel depot is
blocked by more cars, the police department can't get fuel, what is it you want to do? And my
remark was tow the car,to the Sergeant, tow the car.
MR. VANDENBURGH: And that's what we tell people. You will be ticketed and towed.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I don't want to get to that point, okay? It's, I don't believe that the
people of the Town of Southold have to exert resources to protect something that you are not
allowed to park there. If you have indicated to us that your plan of off-site parking and increased
parking personnel and security personnel are going to address this, than I'm inclined to say,
okay, let's see how this goes. I might may be quite as zealous about your plan for next year until
I see how this year works but we are the ones that field the complaints and quite frankly, some
people complain about everything. I understand that, okay. but Jim's point is exactly right when
we are talking about the health and safety of all, alright, we don't need our police department
have to exercise extra stress on a day when there's a whole lot going on because we can't get to
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 13
the fuel depot because cars are parked where they shouldn't be. And we don't even know whose
cars they are.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I understand.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: And now we are going to have to engage someone to come and
tow the car and there's going to be additional confrontation because someone is going to say you
didn't say I couldn't leave the car there. So we are trusting your event is telling people you can't
park there.
MR. VANDENBURGH: We basically are going to, again, work with the Chief and he has,
because people have done that in the past, parked over there, you know, as you have indicated.
So working with the Chief, we are putting up a barricade that allows officers to get by if they
need to but it makes it clear that there's no parking in that area.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Thank you.
MR. VANDENBURGH: And we are going to continue to do that and make sure that doesn't
happen.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I just have a couple of questions, a couple of things Jim said, I
am not sure if it would cause more chaos or not and how many people are coming, walking from
Duck Walk or Osprey, you have to have some kind of thing, maybe before they get on the bus
from where they parked, a bracelet, one of those bracelets on so you know. But the other thing,
isn't it part of your site plan conditions that no one can park on the state highway and patronize
your place?
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am thinking maybe, I know there's been discussion about what level
of regulatory enforcement as Mr. Dinizio said, you know, applies to that and again, if it's there, I
am not saying it's not there but basically we, you know, if anyone noticed what we tried to do
last year, every single telephone had signs, both sides, that said no parking, you will be ticketed,
so that was our first attempt to try to control that. Now we understand we need to have more
engaged enforcement by an attendant or security saying you can't park there.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Because I do believe the police have the right to ticket people
who park there if it becomes a safety issue and also, if it is part of a condition on your site plan,
they could ticket you for allowing to occur. If it's a condition on your site plan. Which I am not
sure that it is but I know there was talk about it back then.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I think it's pretty clear we don't want that to happen. So we are going
to do what we can to stop it from happening.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 14
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: When did you guys originally set up the date or plan the event for
the Guide Dog Foundation?
MR. VANDENBURGH: So the, because the company that actually sets up the whole staging
and everything, they need to know in like the fall. So we reached out with them and the place
holder date and then the process of filling out the application, we went through that process, so it
makes me realize and if we can do this, I would file next week a special event permit for the
following year. I mean, if we can do it significantly...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But when did you actually settle on and confirm that the event was
going on, on your property with the Guide Dog Foundation?
MR. VANDENBURGH: With the Guide Dog Foundation?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: When did you, I mean, when was there a date where you said we
are moving forward, yes, the dates established and yes, there is an event?
MR. VANDENBURGH: When we had the objective that we were going to be doing this, let's
say at the end of the year.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The end of this past year?
MR. VANDENBURGH: Yes, December, January.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: One of the issues and you mentioned this a few times, you said you
didn't have the opportunity, you just found out, you made comments as if you've been put under
the gun by the town.
MR. VANDENBURGH: No, sir. No, if I may just respond to that. Basically I got the notice of
denial of the special event permit where, when I spoke to, you know, I live here, Mr. Supervisor.
If I had gotten a call, I know Chief Flatley very well, I know the folks in the Planning Board. If I
had gotten a call from the ZBA saying hey, we got an inquiry from the Chief of Police and the
Planning Board, I would have picked up the phone and called them right away. I never got the
opportunity. That's the only thing I am saying.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just say something. The Town never got the opportunity to
review this application. Now you applied April 30"', you were notified May 15"' and incidentally
because it's a formal application, it needs a formal response. The casual phone call, you know,
that might help but that's not really how the ;process is set up, nor should it be. Again, it's an
appeal process, so we have a right to see the documentation. But you gave us no time and the
implication, the inference is somehow that we didn't give you enough time to respond. Now if
you set this up last fall, you had ample opportunity to meet the requirements of the special events
application which is 60 days prior, not a couple of weeks prior. So that's on you not on us.
i
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 15
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am not saying a ything is on you, Supervisor Russell. I am saying
that basically the ZBA, I understood the ZBA would ultimately either approve or deny the
application based on, what I understand is they reach out to the different organizations they say
this is what they plan to do, here is their plan. I am not saying that you have done, this Board has
done anything to hamstring us, I appreciate �he fact that we are here today at this public hearing
and you guys have made this happen. What I am saying is, if I had received communication
from the ZBA who I was on communication with on a weekly basis, I understand it was a late
filing, that was on me I take full responsibility for that, but if the ZBA had reached out to me to
say hey, we have got two concerns here, you know, they want to know xyz what's happening, I
could have given them much more detail on that part of it and maybe the other lesson learned is,
I need to provide a lot more detail in the application first going in, to answer some of those
questions.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Probably the best thing to do would to comply with the special
events law which would require 60 days. thea we can flesh out all of these things with you.
MR. VANDENBURGH: No question, timing will be better.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just ask though, I know no one has been directed to town
property by you. a couple of years ago, you called me and you wanted, you were in a bind, you
needed parking, you asked me if we could give you Peconic School or the Rec Center and we
said no. And it ends up that the cars are parked there anyway. Maybe not by you but they were
parked there anyway. And there was a sandwich board out front that said event if I am not
mistaken, I have to get the details from that but from what I remember it was a couple of years
ago. Now more recently....
MR. VANDENBURGH: It was our sandwich board?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It was a sign that said event parking. I don't know who put it there.
Then, that hasn't been the only time, it's happened quite often. It was just a few months ago that
it was the person that you hired directing people to park in the town highway yard. Ironically...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I would dispute that because I don't know who you are talking
about...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can tell you rig t now, the company that you hired which is run by
Wayne Sailor, directing people into that highway yard, in and around the fueling station so
police officers couldn't access the pump, I couldn't access the pump. I was there, I have photos.
There was a tremendous amount of cars there So, you know, the idea that we haven't done it in
the past, yeah, you have. And if you were unaware of it, then that's on you too, because he
works for you.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Okay. Well, I appreciate you letting me know so we can have that
conversation and that, he has been instructed that's not to happen, so you know, in fact, I will tell
you that my security and parking attendants have said that they've been baited by people, I don't
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 16
know who, to say well, I can park up there, I can park there in the town parking lot, I can park
over there and they've said no. I've l,ad parking attendants that I have had specific
conversations with say no, you don't p ark there, you park over in the school parking lot or you
have got to park legally someplace else. You can't park on the town.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Or else your employee is sitting in the middle of the road pointing to
the highway yard. The baiting isn't on the ''part of the 100 cars that were parked there, I assure
you. One of the, we have got to talk about this larger issue and I think Jim touched on it, on site
plan. You know, the intensity of use thatt�II ese events bring to the site, which far eclipsed the
intended use of the site was and I don't thiri2C we can use the banner of fund raiser to allow for
everything. There is a certain site capacity, when people are exceeding that from time to time
it's one thing but quite honestly, the list of who you donate to, we don't really, it's not
appropriate for the town to judge the event based on the merit of it, we have to judge the event
based on the impact of it. As good as the event might be and when do we get to the point when
special events is really just being used as ari end run around zoning or around site plan? Or
around any of those things? You are having�a lot of events, it's presenting some real challenges.
So what we need to do down the road is we need to say look, special events are fine but you
know, I realize it's a fund raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation but it's also a fund raiser for
Greenport Harbor Brewery. So I am starting to get leery of all the events that are taking place
because the few that were taking part originally, there weren't that many and we seemed to be
able to accommodate them as best we could but it's getting to the point where there was a
purpose to that site plan, there was a purpose to those public hearings, there was a purpose to the
approval and we need to get back to that purpose.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Sure.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Also, the assurances and I know you can't assure, you can't be sure
but the assurances of people actually using shuttle parking, we've tried this in other areas and it
really hasn't worked well in the past. The only place it has worked well at this point was the
Strawberry Festival for a few reasons. First of all, they stuck with it. They did it year after year
until people developed a habit. Secondly, for people who usually want to drive right to where
they are going and not transfer off a trolley or a bus, they knew going to the Strawberry Festival
and parking on site would be so problematic that it was simply easier for them and that's why
they started relying on the shuttle. I don't think you should have any illusions. This isn't going
to solve the problem. You need to be really aggressive and assertive on insisting on use of the
site or the off-site.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Yes and we plan to be and you know, to your point, Chief Flatley did
say about the Strawberry Festival, it took them about three years for people to really begin to
understand they needed to park off-site and take the shuttle. And Chief Flatley is at least is you
know, pointing to the fact that provided we stay committed to this process to alleviate the
congestion, it will work and we will stay committed to that process. A comment I want to make,
you know, we have this special event and I am not really sure, well, we had the chili festival in
January, the middle of January, that was a lot more attended than we anticipated....
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 17
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: You didn't applly for a special event permit for that...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am sorry?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: You didn't apply...
MR. VANDENBURGH: No, we didn't expect, we expected like a couple of hundred people to
show up in January.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: There were cars up and down Route 25.
MR. VANDENBURGH: Yes. So that was, again, you know, I guess, we didn't anticipate the
number of people showing up that did for that. so in hindsight, that should be a special event
permit. Didn't think in the middle of January that something would happen that way.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Can I just point out to you again? You came before the town, you
said I am going to be a brewery, I am making beer, I am going to have a little tasting room and
all of a sudden, you have a chili event. So where does that come in in the site plan? Where did
you testify that that would be something...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I mean, I wish I was as smart as you maybe give me credit for,to think
that would be something that I would think of early on.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: What gives you the idea that you could even do that? That you
were allowed to do that?
MR. VANDENBURGH: Well, what we were doing was trying to support our, you know, those
places that sell our beer and we figured in the middle of January, it was a quiet time of year,
business is not great for them so we figured this would be kind of a fun way to you know, reward
our customers by participating in a fun thing that we would hand a medal out to. Honestly, it
was nothing more than trying to be community based and supportive. I mean, yes, it turned out
to be a grand event, turned out to be way more than we thought it would be, so that, we
understand what we have to be prepared for if we do that again.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: But do you understand, sir, do you understand that from the town's
perspective, okay, I was on the zoning board for 25 years, so I know how the town, what it
expects of the businesses, how to plan the town out, okay? And again, when you come before,
and it's not just you, it's the special event part of this whole thing that kind of throws things out
of whack, introduces things that were not expected. When you got approval to do business in the
town. That's the point. And I want you to have those, it's fine with me but people have to
recognize that when they go off script, okay, when they are doing chili and your beer, that is not
anticipated. Even if it's a fundraiser. Even if it's, you know, for your vendors, okay? It's just
not anticipated because you came before the town, you said I want to do this, this is my plan, oh
yeah, that seems to fit in there, it's zoned commercially, commercially zoned property, all those
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 18
things, put in 110 parking spaces, curbs and all of that stuff and then, you know, exceed that.
That just throws everything out of whack.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Jim, can I ask you a question, with all due respect. So he has,
he's commercial business and he has permit for food, so what's the difference if a restaurant did
the same thing he did? Again, he said they weren't, he wasn't expecting to exceed his limit of
people in there on the site plan....
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: He did.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: He did but what if a restaurant does that and exceeds it?
Should they get special....
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: All I can address is what I know.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I know but I am just saying the confusion...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We have an applicant here, we should focus on the applicant. If I
could, I would just like to get back to the questions I was asking. You know, one of the things he
talks about is, again, what I mentioned was that I don't know the special events are so
compelling that we can overlook everything and I am concerned that what they really are is
under a sanctimonious banner, we're saying we'll just ignore everything because I am raising all
this money. It also has a lot to do with business promotion and business sales, I think we need to
say look, special event-fundraiser or not, there's only so much you can handle at that site
particularly on such a regular basis. Also one thing that again really bothers me is you say that
you didn't hold us accountable for anything about the timeframe, you said you weren't notified,
you said you didn't hear from the ZBA...
MR. VANDENBURGH: No, Mr. Russell, that's not what I said. I said basically that when we
submitted our permit and I already pointed out that we submitted it late, and when they
ultimately and I was working with them on a weekly basis, kind of supplying them information
as they would contact me and ask me for it, I was then never contacted by the ZBA and when
you say, we, unless, you mean just generically referring to the town then okay but the ZBA who
I understood handles the processing and ultimate first step approval or denial of the process,
would communicate with me if there are questions that were raised by the consulting agencies
within the town so that I could supply that information but I was never given that opportunity,
that is my only point.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: First of all...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am not attacking you or the town board.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You didn't give us enough time but let me point out something, you
said you weren't contacted by the ZBA you didn't hear anything, in fact, they contacted you...
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 19
MR. VANDENBURGH: I just said that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You said you weren't given the opportunity. In fact, they contacted
you within only a few days of the application to get information from you that was incomplete
and your, this is your email, `Hi Elizabeth-who works in the ZBA-I am sorry it took so long for
me to get back to you, I was in Nashville all last week. The two parcel tax numbers are as
follows.' They got that May 8`". So the idea of them reaching out to you informally, they did. it
took you a long time to get the information.
MR. VANDENBURGH: That was on the tax map parcel, sir.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes (inaudible).
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am not looking to challenge, you know, I get the sense that your
energy is aggressive. I am not looking to challenge you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, it's not. My, what I am trying to point out that the process is a
good process but we need applicants to participate in it more. I think we have done all the
reaching out, we rushed this, we tried to get this on for a public hearing in a very short
(inaudible). We need the opportunity to be able to review it just as well as you do. Just so you
know. From both perspectives, fairer to us, fairer to you.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am not denying that. I am just simply indicating, if I had been asked
those questions, I could have probably provided more information to help everybody. That's all.
That's all I am saying, I am not saying I am attacking the town, the ZBA, the town board...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am not saying you are attacking but I am saying the implication is
the time frame.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I am sorry it bothers you and I apologize for that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It is not a question of bothering, it's a question of what you said.
We did ask for the information, we need to have a complete application to be able to render
decisions...
MR. VANDENBURGH: I appreciate that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And just so you know where I am coming from, I am supporting the
appeal, I am supporting issuing the permit but I think there needs to be a little more self-
awareness and a little bit more concern on the town's part about the intensity of uses that are
growing and growing and growing there.
MR. VANDENBURGH: I can appreciate...
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 20
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: (Inaudible). It's getting to the point where we just can't overlook it
simply because it is raising some money for local....
MR. VANDENBURGH: I appreciate that and I think you know, if it is possible and I don't
know if it's possible, but it makes sense to me to look at our calendar for the year and say here
are our events that we would like to hold and present that in some fashion to get some guidance
as to, you know, we are not doing these things every month, we are doing them two maybe three
times at most during the year but if there's a way for us to do that, we simply want to be good
neighbors and we want to stay involved with our community. We want to work with the town
and we would hope that the town would work with us.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: One of the best ways of probably saying, you know, how do we
reduce these impacts is to simply have less. Because there is a business being run there. a
special event on top of that creates a situation where that the intensity was never anticipated and
certainly not part of the site plan process.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I think that in general what I have seen with the special
events and people are applying, they are misreading the code and thinking they have to wait six
months before the event. They can apply for that event within the year. So if you know in
January that you are going to do this in June, apply in January.
MR. VANDENBURGH: We are going to look to doing that going forward as to, July I" we'll
look to see if we can't scope out the whole year and then submit that, see what we get. And
hopefully this event goes well, if ultimately that is the decision.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Do you guys have any more questions?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Well, I just wanted to present, there were a couple of comments in
the file that I maybe should have read in the beginning, an email from Chief Flatley that he
spoke with Mr. Vandenburgh in regards to the dog diving competition planned for June 2. I have
gone over the off-site parking plan and would be in favor of this being passed, to let them
implement that parking solution. He would just suggest that the Rec Center and Community
Center on Peconic Lane be barricaded off, if the town wants to ensure that no one parks there.
and there was one from Heather Lanza, just making a recommendation that perhaps handouts
with maps showing the additional parking and explaining the shuttle service, that your parking
service people could hand out. The concern there is stacking, stacking of the traffic.
MR. VANDENBURGH: We plan to peel people off the road in order to guide them back out
into the, there are loops that we can have on both entrances, so we can have that. I was also
aware of that but thank you. That is a good suggestion.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to offer anyone else to offer the opportunity to comment
on this particular hearing? (No response)

COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: It is evident to me that both sides need to do more work on special
exceptions. The Town needs to be more diligent and so do the owners. So I will vote for this
but honestly it's really only because it is such a short time, it appears that you are considering
trying to making it better but I heard no solution really today that is going to not make this the
same thing it was last year. So we need to come to a real hard decision on how commercial
properties use, or when they exceed their site plan. So I will vote yes.

Comments regarding resolution 509
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I just want to stress that it will be published in its entirety in a legal
notice in the local media. Also, the law itself is the law that was subject to a public hearing a
few months ago. It was a hearing that was well attended and people spoke a great deal in
opposition. The law we are proposing tonight has been vetted and reviewed by the Agricultural
Advisory Committee and others. I think there is a better understanding of the intent. It's
largely, the law itself as is presented is largely intact as the original draft. There is one
significant change, actually I would call it a modest change and that is it simply restores the
ability of someone that applied for up to six special events with one permit but largely left intact
from the original public hearing. If anyone wants a;copy mailed directly to them, they should
please call my office. It's 765-1889 and we will mail you a copy of this law in its entirety. The
hearing is set at least four weeks if not longer. But at any rate, hopefully there will be plenty of
due notice on this.

A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 280 as it
pertains to siting of commercial solar energy systems"
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. 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.
II. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:

established in an attractive environment and serve both as a means of preserving the open
qualities of an area and providing an area adjacent to hamlet areas where such uses can be
appropriately developed with suitable protection for ground- and surface waters. All uses must
conform to Suffolk County Health Department standards.

May 22, 2018 page 75
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 280 as it
pertains to sitinlz of commercial solar energy systems"
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. 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.
II. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:

established in an attractive environment and serve both as a means of preserving the open
qualities of an area and providing an area adjacent to hamlet areas where such uses can be
appropriately developed with suitable protection for ground- and surface waters. All uses must
conform to Suffolk County Health Department standards.

Set Public Hearing- Carnation Properties Dev Rights Easement
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to the provisions of
Chapter 17 (Community Preservation Fund) and Chapter 70 (Agricultural Lands) of the Town
Code, the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby sets Tuesday, May 22, 2018, at 4:32
p.m., Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold,New York as the time and place for
a public hearing for the purchase of a development rights easement on property owned by
Carnation Properties, Inc. Said property is identified as part of SCTM #1000-109.-1-10.1. The
address is 23195 NYS Route 25 in Cutchogue. The property is located in the Agricultural-
Conservation (A-C) Zoning District and is situated on the northerly side of NYS Route 25
approximately 1482 feet west of Alvah's Lane in Cutchogue, New York. The proposed
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 81
acquisition is for a development rights easement on a part of the property consisting of
approximately 51.6 acres (subject to survey) of the 53.472 acre parcel.
The exact area of the acquisition is subject to a Town-provided survey acceptable to the Land
Preservation Committee and the property owner. The easement will be acquired using
Community Preservation Funds. The purchase price is $62,790.00 (sixty-two thousand seven
hundred ninety dollars) per buildable acre, estimated at $3,239,964.00 (three million two
hundred thirty-nine thousand nine hundred sixty four dollars) for the 51.6± acre easement.
Purchase price will be adjusted at time of closing based on final survey acreage determination,
plus acquisition costs.
The property is listed on the Town's Community Preservation Project Plan as property that
should be preserved due to its agricultural and aquifer recharge area values.
FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned
parcel of land is on file in Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375
Route 25, Southold, New York, and may be examined by any interested person during business
hours.
I have an affidavit that this was published on the Town Clerk's website and bulletin board. I also
have a letter that this has been advertised in the Suffolk Times. I have a memorandum from the
Planning Board Office that there is a negative declaration for a'SEQRA review and LWRP letter
that the proposed action is consistent with the policy standards and therefore is consistent with
the LWRP. That's it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would invite anybody that would like to address the Town Board
on this particular local law to please feel free?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Typically Melissa Spiro would be here to make the presentation.
As you can see, we have got a copy of the map here. I am going to speak for her, she did send
me some information. As noticed, this public hearing is for the town to acquire development
rights easement for agricultural purposes using community preservation funds. The farm is
shown outlined in red on the map. The white labels indicate farms protected by either the town
or county farmland programs. As indicated, on the map all but two plus or minus acre area
around the existing house and barn will be subject to the town developments right easement.
The two acres has been designed as a development area for the farm and will remain part of the
farm and linked to the area subject to the easement. The farm includes over 98 percent of prime
agricultural soils. It is adjacent to over 60 acres of preserved lands and within a mile radius of
the farm there are 39 protected farms totaling over 960 acres. The land preservation committee
makes recommendations to the town board regarding agricultural properties for preservation.
Preservation of this farm is supported by the Land Preservation Committee and the Committee
recommended that the Town Board proceed with this project as proposed. That's all I have.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board?
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 82
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Yes, I would be remiss if I didn't address the Town Board.
Certainly when you look at the map and I know it's very difficult to see the map when you are in
the audience and putting it in perspective to where we are but traveling along Route 25,,when we
look at the amount of acreage of farmland that has been preserved, this while the depth of scope
of this farm is hard to understand because it appears so small on the map, it's a large parcel and
between the railroad and Route 25 it certainly is a prime piece of as Bob said, good soils_and we
certainly are appreciative that the owner has chosen to offer this to the town.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That completes the business of the agenda. Would anybody like to
address the Town Board on any issue?
Salvatore Agosta
SALVATORE AGOSTA: Hi, my name is Salvatore Agosta, I would like to talk to you about
the new code at the boat ramp situation.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure.
MR. AGOSTA: I think we need to have a re-look at that and make it go to the boat or to issue a
permit to a hauler because with three local haulers, it's kind of hard to get your boat in and out of
the water.
Southold Town Board Regular Meeting
May 22, 2018 page 83
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would agree. We just set a special meeting of the Board this
Thursday, what the Board agreed to do today was to have the meeting Thursday, adopt a
resolution that has to go for public hearing. Unfortunately, we have to go through that process
but we are going to expedite it as quickly as we can. That would establish basically a launch
permit for out of town haulers. It would be basically the boat owner applying for the permit
because they can verify their residency and the boat, the identification of the boat. And it would
be a single use launch permit. It's a stop gap method to get the haulers to be able to use them.
When the season is passed, I don't, you know, there's not enough time to do a wholesale
amendment of the code because we are trying to get these out so people can get these boats in the
water quickly. Let's get through this stop gap measure, it will get the out of town haulers access
to the ramps and then in the fall we'll sit down, take a look at the whole code. Maybe there's
some things that need to be tweaked. Obviously a provision like this should be part of the
regular body of the code, I don't think it was the intent of the Board to basically deny access to
local residents boats. One of the problems we were having was the west haulers were using
those local ramps and putting the boats in and bringing them to the south fork. So that was really
what our goal was, it wasn't our intent to make you go locally, spend a lot of money if you could
find a hauler that was even available. So we are going to mitigate that with a meeting on
Thursday.
MR. AGOSTA: Okay.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay? No problem. Would anyone else like to address the Town
Board on any issues? (No response)
