9:40 A.M. - Superintendent of Hicjhways Raymond L. Jacobs met with the Town
Board to discuss the enactment of new Highway Specifications. After review, and
a minor change on one page requested by Councilman Wickham, the Board placed
resolution no. 19 on the agenda to adopt the specifications.
10:00 A.M. Richard Israel and Herbert Mandel met with the Town Board to present
their proposed Affordable Housing District concept on parcel on Main Bayview Road
and South Harbor Road, Southold. (Councilman Penny said he will not be
participating in the discussion as he has a conflict. Penny Lumber has bid on some
houses for Mr. Israel and Mr. Mandel.) Mr. Israel presented the preliminary design
concept and schematic sketch to the Town Board. The plan revealed 28 lots on 17-
1/2 acres, 14 of the lots to be affordable; all of the property to be sold as lots,
DBM Co. (Israel/Mandel) will not build houses on the lots. Mr. Israel made his
presentation on the attributes of his High Point Meadows development, of zoning in
other parts of Southold Town as it appears on the Master Plan map, and stressed
the need for affordable housing, and the desire of Southold residents to build their
own homes. At the conclusion of the presentation, Councilwoman Hussie stated she
could not offer any hope to DBM, stating she has many objections, and has not
found any reason to believe the project will benefit the public. Councilman Wickham
stated he believes there are presently sufficient homes available at moderate prices.
As a result of the positions of Councilman Penny, Councilman Wickham, and
Councilwoman Hussie the Board would no[ have the required four votes to pass a
resolution to move the petition into the SEQRA review process. Supervisor Harris
announced this at the opening of the 4:00 P.M. Regular meeting.
10:40 A.M. - Edward Dart, Chairman of the Southold Town Tree Committee, met
with the Board to tell them (1) the Town appears to have qualified for a $3,500
street tree planting project grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration,
through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The DEC
likes what the Tree Committee is doing in planting a large number of trees that have
a great survival rate. (2) A great many Elm trees have been lost to the Dutch
Elm disease, but there seems to be a new strain of American Elm that should
survive, and about 100 will be planted next year. (3) Thursday, April 29th, 10:00
A.M., the Tree Committee will celebrate Arbor Day at the foot of the great Tulip
Tree on Wells Avenue, Southold, and invited to the Town Board to participate. [4)
The ~rree Committee sent some Maple trees over to Fishers Island, and they would
like an opportunity to visit the Island whenever possible. Arrangements will be
made to fly over with the Building Department when they go in the near future.
(5) Finally, Mr. Dart put in a request for the Town Board to consider the creation
of a separate Parks Department.
APRIL 20, 1993
11:25 A.M. - Ann Lowry and Jerry Waits, North Fork Environmental Council, met
with the Board to ask why the issue of fast food restaurants has not been put to
rest after the McDonald's application was withdrawn. At the present time Burger
King is planning an outlet at the same site. Councilman Penny said he. is anxious
to see the results of the Stewardship Task Force survey to find out what the opinion
of the public is with regard to fast food restaurants. Councilman Wickham said he
does not feel that is the correct mechanism. The Town Board should accept the
responsibility. He wanted to have the Planning & Zoning Committee take this up,
but was discouraged as the McDonald's application could be reactivated. Mr. Waits
suggested the-Town Board have a moratorium on fast food restaurants. Town
Attorney Arnoff stated that a new application has rights under a prior decision of
the Board of Appeals, which would be the restaurant without drive-up window.
Councilman Wickham said the Town Board, in one way or another, must address the
matter. They should sit down as a committee and look at it. Councilman Penny said
the Planning & Zoning Committee was going to address the problem areas in
commercial zones and research the number of sites available on the zoning map.
Under the Town Code and Sanitary Code th~ parcel must be at least three acres.
12:05 P.M. - James McMahon, Director of Procjram Evaluation, met with the Board
to ask if the Town Board wishes the Town of Southold to be a participating agency
for the American Red Cross DWI Pre-Plea Program, a program limited to Town of
Southold residents only. First time DWI defendants are given the opportunity to
voluntarily participate in the program, at the discretion of the Assistant District
Attorney prosecuting their case. Participants agree to perform a certain number
of volunteer hours for a not-for-profit agency in the community (Red Cross agreed
to Town of Southold facilities) in return for an agreed upon plea when they return
for their next court date. Town Attorney Arnoff advised that the three Town
Justices (Jus.tice Edwards concurred) feel it is unconstitutional to enter into the
program before the defendant enters a plea. The Board asked Mr. Arnoff to
request written comments from the Town Justices before they take a position on the
proposal.
12:15 P.M. Recess for lunch.
1:45 P.M. W~rk Session reconvened and the Board took up the For Discussion
Items: (1) Request from Steven Born for reinstatement of his landfill tipping fee
charges (see resolution no. 23). (2) Proposal from Councilwoman Hussie for the
redefinition of fast food restaurant. She will arrange a meeting with the Town
Attorney to discuss this in depth. (3) Proposal from Councilman Penny to amend
the sign regulations regarding notification on temporary signs. Mr. Penny said that
temporary signs on public right-of-ways can be picked up immediately by the
Building Inspector. With regard to temporary signs on business properties, does
the Board wish to amend the notification process so those signs can be picked up
as well without the 30' days by registered mail? After lengthy disc-ussion, it was
agreed to discuss this further with the Commerce & Industry Committee at their
meeting the next evening. (4) Does the ~3oard wish to place an advertisement in
the two local newspapers asking that temporary, illegal signs be removed voluntarily,
and stating that the Town will begin to aggressively enforce the Town Code
beginning on May 3rd (see resolution no. 24 for advertisement not to exceed $500.)
(5) Memorandum from the Town Attorney transmitting a letter from Robert
Ungerleider questioning why the Nassau Farms Subdivision was not-grandfathered
under the amended Zoning Code and Map in 1989. In 1985 Mr. Ungerleider
purchased two lots in the Nassau Farms subdivision, but when he approached the
ZBA to determine under what conditions Lot 5 may be built on he was advised that
he would need a variance because lot 5 is undersized and held in common ownership
witfi his adjoining lot 4, because the subdivision was not grandfathered. Most
of the current Town Board members were not in office at the time this action was
taken, therefore, Town Attorney Arnoff was asked to .go to former Town Board
members and try to determine why the subdivision was never grandfathered. (6)
The Town Board reviewed the proposal of Dvirka and Bartilucci to provide planning,
engineering and permitting services for the proposed yard waste composting
operations. After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed the first four tasks of the
seven task proposal should be acted upon (see resolution no. 25). (7) Letter from
J. Kevin McLaughlin, Esq. requesting an engineering estimate to establish a maximum
figure for road improvement in the proposed Shorecrest at Arshamomaque Road
Improvement District. The Board agreed this should .be handled by James Richter,
the Town's Engineering Inspector. (8) As the result of action by the Legislative
Committee, Councilman Penny presented a proposed "Local Law in Relation to
Certificate of Determination", as well as the certificate itself (resolutions to move
this proposed local law forward were placed on the agenda - 26 and 27). (9) Also
as a result of action by the Legislative Committee, Councilman Penny presented a
proposed "Local Law in Relation to Accessory Apartments", as well as a proposed
"Certificate of Compliance", which is addressed in the proposed law (resolutions to
move this proposed local law forward were placed on the agenda - 28 and 29). (10)

Tom Samuels of the Stewardship Task Force would be invited to meet with the Town
Board to report on his Task Force subcommittee. Councilman Wickham will invite
him to meet with the Board at the May 4th work session. (19) Justice Edwards

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: In ~he interest of brevity~ I know many of you are here
probably, for the same reason, and the Board in it's determination this morning,
there is not the required number of votes needed to proceed ahead with the
application, that was submitted, so it's a mute point. It's over for the change
of zone application. So, nothing is going to happen. There's nothing on the
agenda for it. It's over. It's not ~oing to be entertained. The application is
finished. That's the way the application is at this time. The applicant in the
future, if he may deem, can resubmit, and go through it at some point, if that's
his decision to do, but at this time it's a mute point. It's over. There's nothing
further to discuss at this time. It's over. It's a no. A no was sent back to
them, that's why it's not proceeding ahead. That's right.
RONNIE WACKER: If they reapply is it another no?
SUPERVISOR'-HARR]S: If he reapplies again, we'll have to see what he reapplies

for the same thing. That's the applicant's determination on what his next step
will be. I'm just letting everyone know, so before I start the official meeting,
I'H let you all enjoy the afternoon. There's nothing really for you to even discuss,
because it's ended. If you'd like to stay, and watch your Town Board at work,
be my ~uest, please. There wasn't enough votes on the Town Board to pass it.
There wasn't four votes. It's over. It's finished. I need a motion to approve

how many people were here earlier, when I made the statement, there was not
the required number of votes this morning to move three resolutions in reference
to an affordable housing zone change to the table. Without the required number
of votes, it fails, and the application is a mute point at this time, and obviously,
the Town Board will entertain at some point, if the applicant would like a refund
on his application fee. For those who came in late, that's what we said earlier
before we started the Town Board meeting, for the interest of brevity for those
who were here for one specific reason. It certainly is not a reason for you to

that would like to speak in reference to resolutions, I'll start with the first
resolutions. As Councilman Penny has mentioned, if there are those who would
like to speak to this Board on any matter, you certainly~haYe that opportunity
to do so after the resolutions have been acted upon, during that section when
the applications, or any applicants, that have anything to speak to this Board
about, or any individuals, or anybody else, that would like to address this Board
on any matter, regardless of what it is, that is an opportune time for you to make
a statement on the record.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Number 35, a resolution appoint an Assistant Cook for
the Southold Town Nutrition Center, is being held. That ends the regular portion
of the agenda. At this time are there any members of the audience, that would
like to address this Board on any n~atter, that you feel may be important for us
to have information about?
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin. Laurel. I'd like to say to the Board about a
month ago I was here, and .talking about TDL licenses for the Town Highway
Department. I was informed by an employee of the Highway Department, that
there were only three. Since then I spoke to Ray Jacobs. He informed me, that
as of now, they- have seventeen, and there's more in process. It was my mistake
to believe this man's information. He was so convincing, that I made the mistake
in believing him. SO, it was my mistake, and I apoligize to you, Scott Harris,
and to Ray Jacobs. I was wrong. I learned my lesson What I'd like to speak
about today on, I'll give you a break today. New York State Lotto, let's give
that a whack for a change. As a rule $.11 out of every dollar is provided for
schools. Now, I'm basing these numbers on the year 1990 to 1991. The State
Lotto made $940,000,000.00 in those years. 44.5% went to education. 44.5% went
for winners. The rest was divided up between administration, and ticket sellers.
Suffolk County received a total of $88,239,633.00. it all sounds good. Now,
let's get down to some numbers here, if you don't mind. Greenport School received
$2,970.00. Mattituck-Cutchogue received $6,180.00. Oysterpond received $528.00.
Southold received $3,705.00. Riverhead received $786,250.00. You see what I'm
driving at here? We have six districts, I believe, in Southold Town. When
you add those numbers up, it comes to about $14,533.00, which is given to Southold
Town. When you take William Floyd received $5,682,721.00. Rocky Point received
$1,317,465.00. Miller Place received $1,388,649.00. When you add all those up
it come to around $8,738,759.00. When you take Shoreham, for example, Shoreham-
WadinG River School, one school, I might be wrong, $9,960.00. When you take
Mattituck and Cutchogue along with Southold, and put them together, they only
receive $9,885.00, so there's something wrong with out Lotto out here, and this
North Fork. I would say, and these numbers are taken from Senator LaValle
letter, that he sent out in 1990. The numbers are right here. I would say to
Senator LaValle, it looks like Southold to me is getting the short end of the stick
here by these numbers. The letter is impressive, but $outhold in my opinion
is not impressive. You take Laurel School $1,150.00 for a budget almost $2,000,000.
Oysterpond, as I said, s528.00. Come on, let's be practical about this thing.
Why is this happening? I asked Senator LaValle, why is this happening here?
This is what I'm saying today. The numbers don't add up. We're not getting
the money we should out in Southold Town here. When Riverhead can get that
kind of money, and we can get up to $14,533.00, there's something wrong. It's
not only Lotto. That's our State highway, too. Our State highway from Riverhead
to Greenport is in pathetic shape, and I'll address that at the next Town Board
meeting. I don't have the time right now. Somebody else might want to speak.
It's pathetic. I'll also address later on how the State budget donates to our
education, arid the percentagewise at a future meeting, but take these figures
down. When you examine them, they don't add up. We're not getting out~ share
the way I look at it in Southold Town for education from the Lotto. Thank you
very much.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, Frank. Is there anyone else who would like
to address this Board on any matter? Yes?
RICHARD ISRAEL: My name is Richard Israel from DBM Company. I would just
like an explanation from the Board to the young people, who are here today, what
happened with the affordable housing, and where we go from here? My under-
standing is that you had a resolution on your calendar, and somehow it was
tabled. When was that done, and what was the vote? So, that the young people
can see what is going to happen in .future? Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: This morning there was a presentation made. During
the presentation a number of members voiced their displeasure with the project,
and by the statutory obligation of the Town Board during that time frame the
Town can either accept, or reject, any application, or proposal, that comes before
it, before it proceeds ahead to the next step. Without having the proper number
of votes to proceed ahead, which we did not this morning, the determination was
made this afternoon, that there was no need to proceed ahead. It had failed on
it's merit, and the three resolutions, that were put on in an early agenda, were
not removed. They could have been removed, and it would never have appeared
on tonight's session. However, because of the time frame, the Board was very
busy today, we worked right up to 4:00 o'clock, that is the determination, t'hat
was made by the Board in reference to the submittal, that it had before it.
RICHARD ISRAEL: Are yougo~ngto make it public record, which Councilpeople
voted for, or against it?
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: That's their determination. If any of these people would
like to make that determination at this time, it's up them. That certainly is their
prerogative to disclose, if they feel they'd like to do that.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I have no problem in disclosing, Rich. As I did this morning,
the fact that I was in a direct conflict of interest, as I am in contract with you
.for two homes in your other subdivision, that I couldn't participate on one side,
or the other, so I abstained from any discussion on this whatsoever. I have no
problem with that.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I had no problem on reiterating my position either.
The Town Board has to make a determination, and it's one criteria for a change
of zone, is it in the public good? I could not find out after reading all the
information, looking at the site, looking at the plans, and_everything else, checking
with Community Development Department, that, in deed, anymore affordable housing
was necessary, and therefore using that criteria only, I voted a§ainst it. We
didn't actually have a vote. I certainly voiced my opinion as negative.
6 APRIL 20, 1993
COUNCILMAN WlCKHAM: I also joined with Alice in not supporting- putting it
to a vote today. I think that there are too many homes already available in the
Town of Southold at cost comparable to those of the affordable housing plan would
provide. I, also, think that the way affordable housing program has been used
in recent years has been tended to be an end run around the two acre zoning
provision of the Town of Southold. I think that what we really need to do, and
what we have will have very shortly, is a whole broader look at the affordable
housing needs of the Town, and the range of tools, that could be employed to
meet those needs, and I think we'll have them, and I think at that time Richard
will have a better handle on how to meet the needs of these people, who do have
legitimate needs, and who's needs should be met in the future. Thank you.
RICHARD ISRAEL: Until that study that is done, does that mean that pretty
much affordable housing is put on the shelf, and will not be addressed, even
if it ~neets within the half mile requirement of the town?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Are you asking us as individuals?
RICHARD ISRAEL: I'm asking you as a Board, or individuals. It is improper
to bring another affordable housing application, that meets your requirements
under your law currently?
SUPERVISO~R HARRIS: Every application, that's presented to this Board, is given
due process, and it will be weighed upon the merit of the project, and acting
upon accordingly. This Board is never going prejudge any application, or any
submittal of any project ahead of time, that would be, first of all, be your
responsibility, and second of all, this Board is very prudent in it's actions, and
certainly looks carefully upon the youth of this community, and the affordable
housing that is needed in this community. Evidence of that is the three affordable
housing projects, that are already in place, one of them happens to be yours
Mr. Israel, a fine project, Highpoint Meadows II, which is a beautiful community.
So, it's evident that this Board is going to entertain applications, as it comes
before it, on a case by case basis, as it does every applicant, and be treated
with equity, 'all equity that can possibly, be dispersed thorugh the process of
our Southold Town Code. Is there any other members of the audience, that would
like to speak~in reference to this project?
MICHAEL CROTEAU: Michael Croteau. I would first like to apoligize to the Board
for any information, that might have been wrong, or inaccurate in trying to get
some sort public consensus myself, because, obviously, I had interest in Mr. Israel's
proposal. (Tape change.) I think if I could offer one thing to both the Board,
and anyone else here, is that there are existing houses on the market now. I
think the real estate market is such that you can go out, and beat the bushes.
You find a deal. My wife and I looked at over a hundred places, when we bought
our first home. I fit that demographic of that born in the 60's baby boomer,
who can't buy a. house like the generation above them could. I think that I don't
want to, personally because I don't have no motives in doing what I did, other
to than to show the Board that there are possibilities. I think the Board voted
wisely on that piece of land. I think that the developers are the ones here, that
taking young people to the cleaners. I know approximately what Mr'. Israel is
paying per acre for t-hat place, and to sit here, and have him stand here telling
us, that he's not making any money on the deal, I think that the decisions, that
were made are right. I don't want be someone who's opposed to affordable housing.
I think if any young person wants to call me. I know what I went through to
get my first mortgage. Mr. Penny can attest to it. We're still struggling. We
have a lumber bill to settle with him, that we're having a hard time with. It's
tough, and I would ask anyone here, who wants to call about getting first mortgage,
I will help them. I'll have to say right now, I'll do what I can do.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Is there anybody else, that would like to address this
Board on any matter? Yes?
APRIL 20, 1993
PAULA SKWARA CROTEAU: I'm Michael's wife, Paul Skwar~ Croteau. I just want
to, again, thank the Board. We do have over ~,00 signed comments here. I just
want to say, that obviously the people have spoken, and I agree with my husband,
in that we would be very happy to work with any young people in this community,
because it was very hard for us to get the mortgage on the Howell Farm. It did
not have a heating system, and we needed to struggle to put money into escrow,
so we are aware of the struggle, and I want to say thank you, and'it'.smybirthday
today. You gave me a very nice present.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Is there any other member of the audience,
that would like to address this Board?
SANDY KOLLEN: My name is Sandy Kollen. I live in Highpoint Meadows, and
before Highpoint Meadows became Highpoint Meadows, my husband and I looked
at used houses, that were on the market, and we couldn't afford them, to even
live in them, and couldn't afford to put mor'e money into them, which they all
needed. There. are about $120,000.00 to $150,000.00, which is not affordable.
Our house is definitely affordable, and the new development is needed. There
are still people out there like us. I mean, there's maybe forty or fifty lots 'n
our development, and there's a lot more people than forty or fifty, that need
affordable housing. Everybody in our development is very proud of our develop-
ment. We all did a real nice job on it. There's no crumby houses in there. Nobody
skimped or anything. We put our all into it. I think the new development, if
it's going to be just like Highpoint Meadows, is going to be beautiful. Why anybody
would want to look in a open field, an open field is nice, but we also need housing,
and what's out there on the market is not affordable. It's not even livable, as
far as we saw. There's people foreclosing on everything, but wouldn't you rather
have a brand;new house for an affordable price, than a used house? I don't know
what else to'say. Until .you're in our shoes trying to get someplace to live, without
payin~ rent, you can't say'anything. We had a hard time, too, getting a mortgage.
If you arelin the so called affordable price range, they work with you, and you
know, they really help you out, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't
know what kind of mortgage they're talking about, that they had such a hard
time with. ~ly husband and I don't make a lot of money at all, but we have a
brand-new house, and we're struggling, but it's worth it. I think the new develop-
ment is needed.
SUPERVISOR' HARRIS: Thank you. Is there anybody else, that would like to
address this Board on any matter?
RICK GIBBS: My name is Rick Gibbs. I run a restaurant in the town. I'm a
local businessperson. I have a lot of friends, that have moved away from this
area, because:of the housing problem-. I myself rent in Orient right now, and
I'm looking for a house. I've lived in a lot of houses. Most of the houses, that
I look at in that price range, which I can afford, is much the same circumstances
of this gentleman here, and those folks over there, which is $130,000.00 to
$160,000.00. Friends of mine just bought a house in the same price in probably
the last three or four years. Within the first year, you know, the heating goes.
The second year the roof goes. The third year something else needs to be done,
and the bath'.room refurbished, and you're way up there. Of course, you have
the mortgage payments, try to refurbish the house at the same time. It becomes
a very costli y ~hing, and it's a most overburden ng to a lot of people. I, myself,
have been fairly lucky, being in business for myse f. I'm in business for myself
'to make a profit. Don't let anybody kid you. I am. I make money doing what
I do~ and thet?s what we're all in business for out here. Luckily I can stay in
business out t~ere, because I do make money, and I'm a young guy. I'm trying
to make a living out here, and I think there are things, that would help me to
stay in this .community, would als0 be a house to live in, to call my own, to say
this is the place where I can keep my stuff. I think it's a great thing to be able
8 APRIL 20, 1993
to walk..l was over at Highpoint looking at some of the models over there, and
if they're in the same realm, the beauty of that community is just astounding.
I can see, I just drove by that new community by the Legion over there, I wasn't
very impressed with that at all, and I can understand why there's a little problem
with the affordable housing question. But, if the thing is going to be done like
the Highpoint Meadows over there, I would be the first one to try to get into
that community myself, and if the lots in the questionable range of $33,000.00
for a half an acre, with a house on it, you could get somewhere in that area,
it would be a great thing for the community. I think a lot of fellow friends, and
business associates, and people that are working in the community would be more
than happy to go into there. I've also talked to some of the people, that live
in Highpoint Meadows, and they are very, very happy with the community over
there. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Is there anybody else that would like to
address this Board at this time?
THERESA SWIATOCCIA: I am 100% for affordable housing. I was born and raised
in Southold TOwn, and i'd also like to have my children born and raised here.
If it wasn't for Highpoint Meadows, and Mr. Mandel, and Mr. Israel, my child
would not have a house today in Southoid Town, but because of the affordable
housing they have a beautiful home. They live in a beautiful, young community,
where there's young children, and what about later years? If we don't make a
place for these young children to live here in Southold Town, what are we going
to have in a few years? You're not going to have any painters. You're not going
to have an electricians. You're not going to have plumbing. You're not going
to have anybody to go even, and cut your lawn, if we don't keep the young
people in this town. The young people today can not afford high price houses.
It takes two people in a household today to just keep your head above water.
If you have just one working you can't do it. So, because of this affordable
housing., that's why my daughter lives in Southold Town. Theresa Swiatoccia.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Is there anybody else, who would like to address this
Board on any matter at' this time?
PAULA SKWARA CROTEAU: I just want to make one other statement. I just
want to say, again, my name is Paula Skwara Croteau, but there were 100 people
here, that had something to say, and Mr. Harris, you dismissed them at the
beginning of the meeting, and I just feel very badly about that, because they
have their points of view, too. So, I know that Mr. Israel purposefully waited
until the end, and asked his supporters to come in, and Mr. Penny acknowledged
that anyone could speak on anything at'the end of the meeting, and I do think
it's a open forum, and I just want to make that on record, that there were a lot
of people with a lot of things to say, and they didn't get a chance.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I would like to, also, mention one point, that in the
interest of brevity, many people are here, which was going to be repetitive in
the same statement before this Board, if we had entertained it. That was certainly
done. We want all the involvement, that we possibly can have 'by this community.
People certainly understand, they have an absolute right to speak to this Board
on any matter at ~any time. They certainly have the opportunity to stay. Obviously,
the people that stayed wanted to get their point across. Those who .left, obviously,
were probably going to reiterate what their neighbors, orwhat else was going to
say, and felt that somebody else could say it for them adequately. It's a shame
that they didn't stay.
PAULA SKWARA CROTEAU: You made it a closed issue, and you dealt with it
that way.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I wanted to make sure that people were not going to speak
to this Board on ~esolutions, that we're not even going to acting upon, because
they would have felt, why am I speaking, if there's nothing the Board is going
to even entertain at this time? It's already been decided long before they have
an opportunity to speak. This Board made a decision this morning. I'm sure
they'll have an opportunity again in the next meeting, if they feel so inclined
to be back, and to get their point of view expressed. Thank you for your
involvement on this, too. Is there anybody else?

MARGARET BROWN: I would like to speak, I guess for the other side. I'm
absolutely 100% in favor of affordable housing. When I say affordable housing,
I mean affordable housing. I don't mean sort of affordable housing, or housing
that is affordable if you have help. The thing is the presentation made by Mr.
Israel this morning was affordable for some people, if they could get mortgage
for those s35,000.00 lots. When I think of affordable housing, I think of people,
that are making $10,000.00, $15,000.00, or $20,000.00, who can't even get a
mortgage. They can't even walk in a bank, and say, they have nothing to put
up, and say I'd like to buy this $35,000.00. If by any chance they could, how
long is it going to take them before they can build a house on it? This town
needs to supply affordable housing for the people, who really need it. If it
cost $12,000.00 to hook up the water, and sewer to Greenport, you've already
started way up there beyond some people's reach. What you need to do is find
a way to supply affordable housing for people,' who may have to buy used houses
to start with. There are a lot of good used houses out there. The market is
Iow right now. Houses that are available on the market right now are easily
competitive with what are called affordable t~ouses by Mr. Israel. Another thino
about his proposal is, that it's beyond the one half mile radius from the center
of town, which is the post office, the legal center of town. As Mrs Hussie pointed
out this morning, if the one and a half mile from there to the center of town,
is there truly a need for affordable he, using, you may need either public transporta-
tion or be able to walk. You are not necessarily, going to find it convenient to
move that far from the hamlet center. There is one good thing about affordable
housing as it is addressed now by the town. How long does it stay affordable?
You buy a. $35,000.00 lot. Somebo. dy coming from west, and I know there will
be people who do, look at a half acre, and to them it's a ranch. This is not a
dinky little lot, and then they save for ten years, build a beautiful gigantic house
on it, and sell it for way more th'an affordable, especially in such a prime location
as the South Harbor Road location.. So, the bottom line is, we realize you need
affordable housing in this town. It has to be done so people can reach it.
sympathy very much with the people, that are up there a little ways on the border
line, and they have trouble making the mortage, trouble getting their first ver~,
own house. There has to be a way, that we can do it, but isn't by making
expensive outside of the hamlet, mostly so that one developer gets a better deal
for the property that he buys. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Mrs. Brown, I'd just like to comment a minute,
that the $outhold Town Code, the affordable housing zone, which is a floating
zone, it does address almost all the issues, that you brought up, except for the
one that you considered to be affordable. What affordable is, in everybody's
mind, is ~ li~tle bit different. But, renting is involved in there. That's .part
of the affordable housing zone. That certainly can be enacted, if somebody wants
to move in that directio_n. The determination of how long you hold a house, before
you resell it for a profit, is also addressed in the Code. I think the Code has
add~ y of, these issues very adequately. A lot of this has not-even been
put ye~, because the Town hasn't moved in that direction. The Town
has ~1 ~ h~.d three affordable housing projects- under the AHD since~1990, and
many eas, that you mentioned, which is apartments, and SO on, have
not ew a~:t~d'upo~, as far as deve opment 'goes, which 'is Certainly part
of what our Code does address. So, we"Il see what happens in the future with
tha~.
MARGARET BROWN: Excuse me, but I hate to prolong this, but..
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I'm not, I'm just answering. This is not a debate.
MARGARET BROWN: I realize that, but I don't like to have people here left with
the impression, that it's all taken care of. I think the limit on affordable housing
is ten years. It stays affordable for ten years. Ten years to ~e, is not very
long to own a house.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: That's a long time for a lot of people.
MARGARET BROWN: Well, we've owned our house now for eighteen years, and
it's gotten more, and less, valuable as the time goes by, but ten years does not..
it ten years time you're going to run out of affordable houses. How many affordable
houses do we have to build to keep the supply coming? I think this is not a
productive way for the town to go. Also, what is the accessory apartment lines
in Southold;Town? Does it really allow people to have le~oal apartments, and
tha~ is a ~hetorical question, but it's something that needs to be addressed. Thank
you.
0 APRIl. 20, 1993
MICHAEL CROTEAU: Michael Croteau, again. I just want to throw this out
to the Board, because I'm sure that Mr. Mandel, and Mr. Israel will propose some
alternative to possibly what they did this morning. As far as services, that any
development, or even the two acre zoning, that is on the Stepnoski farm currently,
South Harbor Road is basically a paved farm road. My in-laws live on Wells Road,
and there's about 1/70th of the traffic on that road, and it's essentially the same
road. There's a major drainage problem on the road. All those things, I think,
are of interest to anybody who lives down there now. A man can't get his mail
at the mailbox, because there's barely two lanes for the traffic going there, but
nevertheless, the point made is that, that area is used for farming. There's a
lot of equipment on that road, and I'm not sure that the roads are up to snuff
to even having more traffic than there is already, and that may be due to something
the Town has look at as a liability, and improvement made on it, if there is any
houses down there.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Is there anybody else, at this time, would
like to address the Board?
ROBERT JENKINS: Robert Jenkins. I would like to go on record as being very
much in favor of this affordable housing district. I think we're missing the point
in that a lot of people don't understand that you can't build affordable housing
unless you have public water available. This is one area, that is large enough
to put in affordable housing to start with, and public water. Secondly, with
chastising Mr. Israel, Mr. Israel and Mr. Mandel have done a beautiful iob in
HighpOint I, Highpoint II. We both in the community. Their children go to a
school in the community, and I think they've done a super job with what they've
done. I would urge the Board to ponder their decision well, look favorably upon
that decision. Thank you.
SANDY KOLLEN: I just want to say one more thing. My name is Sandy Kollen,
again. I did a traffic study. I work for an engineer in Greenport part-time. I
did a traffic study on Highpoint Meadows. Again, it's coming on to a main road,
and I don't see a problem in it. I don't know if anybody else does, but there's
no problem with the traffic there. With the new development you're going to be
coming out into a main road, again, you have two ways to get off of that main
road, so I think there's going to be less traffic, plus there's less lots in the new
development. There's no problem 'with our traffic at the end of Boisseau Avenue,
or at the North Road. That was one thing I wanted to address. I lust wanted
to say whoever did this, this is not our development. This is our development
three times. You drive into our development, this is not what you see. So, the
average Joe who's getting this is not seeing our real development. This is a false
picture of what it really looks like. If anybody ever drove through there, Which
. I hope that you've done, this is not what it looks like, and really, ~eal!y looks
nice. We're all proud of our homes, like I said before, and whoever builds 'a new
development, is going to be equally' as proud of their homes, as we are. I know
people would rather own a brand-new house, than to look around, and look around,
and look around for a used house, that, again, is not affordable; $12'0,000,
$135,000 is not affordable. Thank you.
RICHARD ISRAEL: Let me just try to put this in there, so you guys can go on.
I want to thank' the Board for their prompt addressing this. You've saved me
a small fortune, and ! thank you for that. As far as the problem of the road,
I think it is a Town road, and I think you should look into that, and may possible
assess everyone on the road for it's improvement. If it is a major problem on that
road needs to be widen, it is a Town road. I think you should do it. Thank
you.
PATTI PETTIT: My name is Patti Pettit. I live on South Harbor Road, and my
husband's ancestor lived on the Howell Farm property for many years, and they
farmed all that land, and my property in any heavy rain s_torm has quite a flooding
problem with the water coming from 25, and down from the farm fields, and the
way it's typically gone over the hundreds of years to come on through, and go
doWn to the creek. My concern if that land were to be as overdeveloped,as the
28 homes, would be the impact upon the creek. Having seen, and everyone is
aware, that Peconic Bay was granted a Federal protection, and I'm concerned about
the quality of the water with the runoff. I'm concerned about the overpopulation
to the schools, which are now bursting. I'm, also, a teacher, and involved with
the PTA, and understand what overcrowding is r~'ght now in Southold School. Also,
didn't someone say, that there doesn't seem to be a traffic problem over at Highpoint
Meadows, but I can clearly see that there would be a traffic problem in the South
Harbor Road, Baywater Avenue, Main Bayview Avenue area. You can say that
there are two roads for them to exit that neighborhood, but someone might be
interested to take a look at traffic reports from Baywater Avenue, Main Bayview
area. That's quite a dangerous curve there by the cemetery. I'm just concerned
in general about the quality of life for the people, who ive in Southold, and the
tourists who like to see here to see open spaces, and instead would look upon a
neic~hborhood much resembling other towns, and I hope that the Board will not
approve Mr. Mandel's subdivision to change the Master Plan, which a lot of
forethought went into. To kay that we should have two acre to protect Southold
properties only for a few wealthy individuals to change the rules to meet their
needs, and their pocketst to change it down to half an acre zoning, I don't want
to see that at all. That's why I'm here.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Let me just reiterate, again, for those who came in. The
Board has already acted, and deliberated upon this. This project has been sent
back to the developer. The Board did not want to proceed ahead with it for those
who came in late. So, at this iuncture~ that application is not being forwarded
through the process. The Board has turned down that application at this timer
iust for those who came in late, that didn't ~ know that. Also, if there's no other
speakers, I just want to mention one thin~. Yesterday, I was very much involved
with the Peconic Estuary Program. I'm very happy that yesterday was the official
kickoff of the Peconic Estuary Study. This is ~oing to be a tremendous study
embarked on by all of the East End towns in reference to the Peconic Bays, and
those tributaries, that add to that~ as well as the grounds underwater that feed
it. Yesterday's kickoff, ! think, is going to be a great thing for the East End,
as far as recreation, commercial, and tourism goes~ and for everyone in general
to put a Httle bit of effort together with the various muncipalities, that are involved
with this, and the .years of work that people had put forward to make this a reality.
The Peconic Estuary Study is going to prove to be, probably, one of the greatest
studies ever entered into the I~lational Estuary Program by the EPA. This morning
I had a Management meeting, which. I am one of the members. I am put on the
~anagement meeting by the East End Towns and Villages, as their representative
on the Ma~agem'ent Committee along with EPA officials, government officials from
the State, and also, the County, as well as other areas. I want to say that this
Managaement Committee has been working very diligently to get this program
underway. They have a very ambitous deadline of July 1st, at which in order
to recei~ze tl~e first phase of funding for 1993, it has to be submitted by July 1st,
so there's a lot of work that has be accomplished in a short time, and the Management
Commilttee~ as well as the Citizen's Advisory, the local government's committee,
and t~ne otl~er committ'ees, that are involved with us, are go~ng to have a lot on
their pla~e in the next two months to fulfill the first aspect of funding. I just
wanted ~to say again, that this is a great day, I think, for the East End .tOwns
and villages~ because ~his is a day when we start looking at the problems that
exiS~ ~n our bays, ~nd .work towards cleaning them up. If possible with the amount
of .funding~ that is ~ necessary from all-agencies contributing towards one goa~, and
that is our precious natural resources, and it's people.
COU~ICII_ LIZEWSKI: Just ~ couple of comments on this affordable housing. One
of the things, that always upsets, and frightens me is, when people feel that it's
against the law for somebody else to make a profit on what they're doing~ I think
it's the American way. I think if Mr. 'Israel was going to develop this land, I
think he has a right to make a profit on it~ and it's upsetting to me, when you
start to think that just because he's doing it, that he's doing it with nothing but
a profit motivation. It certainly is the wa~ we all think~ if that was way we make
a living. As far as affordable housin~ ~oes, affordable housing alWays will be
tied to affordable land. If you can't get affordable land, you'll never have
affordable housing, and the only reason you have affordable housing is because
you allow .zoning to take, and subdivide the land to smaller portions to allow; more
development, and denser development, which allows the developer to sell the land
at a cheaper price to .develop. So, unless ,you have affordable land, a house will
be a house, will be a house, and youno~ people like these people will build their
houses on ~fforclable land as cheaply as they can, and they will put their s~eat
equity into their houses, and hopefully, we'll have more affordable land, because
it's the only way we'll ever have affordable housing. When you speak about
affordable housing, ~ou have to think of affordable land~ and you have to think
of smaller lots. ~The amazing thing to me about this whole thing is that when I
looked at the-surroundings on this map, almost everybody who owned land around
this i~supposal~le affordable area, had smaller lots than the lots, that were even
bei~ prop~osed~ So, it,s a little bit of a complex. I'm l~ere. I don't know if I
want ~to le~ y~u come lin. here. However, it's the principal that I think we have
to realize in thi~ country, ~hat a man is allowed to make a living~ and allowed to
profit from h~s in~vestm~e~t. The $15,000 to $20,000 range, I don't know if we'll
ever be a~le ito ha~e land cheap enough for people who have that income~ I think
th~t's go~n~o ~o b'e~ a very difficult thing, Iookin~ at the economy, and the way things
are out hei-e, ! ~hink~'i~'~ a c~reat problem, but again, this is not a socialistic
2 APRIL 20, 1993
economy, where I think it's the obligation of government to provide everything
for all people. I think the people are going to have to work, and work their way
up to get what they can. I don't believe, that it's ~oing to be easy to give people
who have that price range affordable land, unless we c~et it down to, maybe,
quarter acre someday. But, unless you have affordab~'e land, you'll never have
affordable housing for those people. I think it's going to be very, very difficult.
I think there are problems, that we all have ,to solve, but I don't think they're
easy solvable in these economic times, and a area that's becoming more and more
elite, and certainly the North Fork, like the South Fork, is becoming very elitist.
I have one other thing, that I want to discuss. I think I'II bring it up at this
time, and it has to do with last week's newspaper, and I want to apoligize for a
second to Councilman Wickham, because I said that his family had application
before the Planning Board, and it was because I had looked on the agenda of
Planning on March 29th, and it said that 5:15, a meeting with John Wickham to
discuss possible subdivision of property. That doesn't mean that he actually had
a subdivision pending, but it was on the agenda. However, I think that, tO go
a little bit further with that, I was asked by .Mrs. Wacker about my own application
to the Planning Board, and I went back, and I looked at this paper of March 18th,
and it had a lar§e article on how United Southold party to call for openness and
truth, and I think that when people approach Town Board member, who give a
lot of their time, a lot of their effort to government, basically it's a civic duty,
I look at it as a civic contribution, [ think that they owe it to the TV audience
to, when they address the Town, that they should-at least say if they have political
envolvement. I believe Mrs. Wacker is part of the United Southold party, and
part of' the publicity, and I think she owes it to the TV audience, when she stands
up to question somebody about their ethics, to say my name is Mrs. Wacker. I
am the Publicity Chairman for th~ United Southold party, and I would like tO
address you. I think the' fairness, and truth, goes both .ways, and I think if
that's followed as a decent form from now on, as far as politics go, I think it will
be done in a much fairer, and much more truthful manner, which is what I believe
that they wanted to do. Thank you very much.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. It isn't very often, that ~1 get
vocal on the 'dias here, but I'm going to at this moment. I came in last evening
from Fishers Island, went ~hrough my mail, and I was really insulted, when I opened
this up, and saw it. If there's ever a picture painted with a poison pen, it's this
one, and I would like this Southold Harbor Bayview Residents Coalition to ,put
me .n the point, where this picture was taken on t'he bottom, and show me how
they took that picture. I would like to see it, and in my estimation this is t~he
same old limby-syndrome, I've got mine. I don't want you to have yours. IN you
people in South Harbor Bayview Resident Coalition got together, p0ol your money,
and buy that property from Mr. Israel, then you can keep it the wa;, you want
it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, Judge. Are there any other members of the
Board like to address anything at this time?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I have two brief comments on all together different topics.
One of them is, that there is a vacancy on the land Preservation Committee of the
Town Board. Land Preservation Committee is the committee, that makes recommenda-
tions to the Town Board for possible acquisitions of open space, or for acquisitions
of development rights for farmland. It's a very important committee, and it's one
that has, an important financial responsibility in making recommendations to the
Town Board, as to possible expenditures of funds. The Town through bonds that
have been voted on by citizens of the town have appropriated a fair amount of
money fo.r these acquisitions, and we're looking for people at the moment to apply
for that. The second thing I"d like to briefly mention is I voted against, today,
a resolution that would put in place a -Certificate of Determination, because I believe
that site plan review, and ultimately site plan ~pproval should belong with the
Planning Board, where it has been, and not with the Building Inspector. I'm
afraid that the system, that we are moving towards, is openended, both in terms
of time, and also, it's open to possible influence, and even abuse at some futur~-
time. I'm not saying that members of this current Board would abuse it~ but I
think it puts, the town in the position where abuse, and influence would be much
more easy to, happen in the future, and I think it's unwise for the Town to do
that. Basically, the Certificate of Determination would make it possible for a parcel
of property, which is currently being used in a business to be transfer,ed for
a different business use without having to go through site plan approval. I think
all of us on the Board recognize that there are times, when that's perfectly
appropriate, and a site plan approval should not needed. There are other times
when it would be required, and the question is, who's to make the decision? My
view is, that the Planning Board has been established by statute as a Board to
protect against the possible influence and abuse of these important decisions, and
I believe that's the way it should be, so that's why I didn't support it.
JOHN BENDER: John Bender. It's one thing to make a living in this country,
and naturally arrive at a profit, if you're in business, but there is also a possibility
of greed. It's a shame, that this had to come down to a ver,v personel thing, where
we're holding the young people as hostages, as which we do in our schools, and
completely neglect the old people, who are citizens of this community, also, and
to imply that the town should maybe assess additional assessments to the members
of the community to satisfy a couple of comments. I think we all remember the
law of diminishing returns. One of the reason we had a Planning Board established
and a Master Plan attempted, was to find out what we saturate our land with, and
I think that should be addressed, primarily so we don't end up in the same
situation with our runoff, our lack of water, as we are with our Town Composting
Area, Landfill, whatever you want to call it. So, to lose our temper, and start
going at one another, I don't think you're going to accomplish anything in that
way, and definitely if you have a Planning Board established it should be brought
up in front of the Planning Board, and if the Master Plan has any worth at all,
it should be adhered to.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS:
front?
Thank you, Mr. Bender. There's was somebody in the
RONNIE WACKER: I feel that I really should respond to Dr. Lizewski. It's true
that I am active in the United Southold party. I do feel that it's about time we
had a change in the town, but I have been concerned about what I consider a
conflict of interest on your part. You,have an application before'the Planning
Board, and you have been given violations. You should really be above criticism
for something like this, because, you are a Town official. You are knowledgeable,
or should be knowledgeable about ~equirements of the law, and I don't believe that
you fight it, whether or not I am concerned with a party or group, that is hoping
to maintain this, or whether I, as a private citizen, and I write letters to the Editor
with some frequency about things that I feel could be changed. I think it has
nothing to do with it. I think if you are in conflict of interest, if you go to a
member of the Planning Board before whom you will have to seek approval of your
application. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: I have no violations at this time, Mrs. Wacker.
RONNIE WACKER: You do.
COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: I have none. I"ve not been treated as a violator for
anything.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I'm going to ask you to please to refrain from the conversa-
tion.. This is not this portion of this is, Mrs. Wacker, h~s expressed your point
of view on a subject, which was brought up by a Town Board member, certainly
is your right to express an opinion on any matter, Is there any other individual
that would like .to address this Board before we entertain a motion to adjourn?
PHILLIP VANBOURGENDIEN: My name Phillip VanBourgendien. I'd iust like to
say that I think that Councilman Lizewski has no right to make a statement, that
anybody,who wishes to get up and speak to the Town Board, has to tell them if
they any affiliation with a political party. That's the same thing as saying, that
everytime you speak Mr. Harris, or Mr. Penny, or anybody else, they would have
to get up and 'say, first of all, I'm a member of the Republican Party. It's not
necessary. He has no right to make a statement like that requesting that anybody
say anythinG about their party affiliation, when they're talking about Town business.
Thank you.
· FRANK CARLIN: I've been wanting to mal~e the comment, and statement, a while
back, and I'll do it being as you brought the subject up. I want to make it clear
once, and for all. I've been coming to these Town Board meetings for quite awhile.
When I'm up here I'~ not here for any one party, Democratic, Republican,
Independent or what. I'm just up .here as a taxpayer, who's willing to step up
to the plate, and call the shots the way he sees them. I don't care if you're
Cu~mo, or if you're Joe Sawicki, or anybody else. I'm up here as a taxpayer,
and that's the way it is, and that's the way it's .going to be. Thank you.

PATTI PETTlT: I would just like to make two comments to Mr. Lizewski. ~3efore
he was mentioning about people opposed to someone's wanting to make money.
No one objects to that. That's the American way. As someone has already mentioned,
there's a difference between earning a living, and being greedy. My second point
is in reference to .the map of the area, which Mr. Mandel, and Mr Israel presented
to the Town Board, which is that the areas which were highlighted were only
those small parcels. If you had looked more to the west, you would see that that
is all farmland. I am concerned about the future of Southold, because I see it
looking more like property to the east in the map, rather than the farmland, that
was left off that map, which shows the parcel. That's all I have to say.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. If there are no other speakers, I'll entertain
a motion to adjourn. (No response.)
