Town Attorney Arnoff is working on a proposed Local Law for the Town Board. In the meantime the Town Trustees will make a report on their recommendations for the local law within 30 days. (2) Report from Engineering Inspector Richter with preliminary findings with respect to noise abatement at the Dog Pound. (All avenues have been exhausted with respect to moving the shelter to a new site.) Mr. Richter suggests berms, fencing, and relocation of the office trailer, all of which Supervisor Harris advises can be accomplished in house [or an estimated cost of $8,000, and will be started as soon as possible. He also advised that he will be asking the League to contribute toward the cost of the improvements. (3) Proposed Local Laws to combine the Open Space and Farmland Committees. It was decided later in the day to refer them to the Legislative Committee so consideration can be given to adding economic impact reviews to the laws. 10:15 A.M. The Board reviewed proposed resolutions to be voted upon at the 4:00 P.M. Regular Meeting. 10:40 A.M.- Planning Board Chairman Bennett Orlowski, Jr., along with Thomas McMann and Alan Connell of Suffolk County Soil & Water Conservation District, and Bill Sanok from Cornell Cooperative Extension, met with the Town Board to discuss the concept of Town ownership of the open space in a clustered subdivision which has been identified as prime farmland area. They would like to see an advisory MARCH 26, 1991 385 committee formed to development a management program for the land. Councilman Wickham suggested a series of informational meetings to solicit the views of the public , and the Town Board endorsed the idea. The Planning and Zoning Committee and the town Board will work together on proposal, and will also explore management of the land if under private ownership. 11:25 A.M. - Jack Romeril, Rec. t Tuthill and Bill Cremmers, members of the Solid Waste Management Task Force, and Jim Bunchuck, Assistant Superintendent of Public Works, met with the Board to discuss the proposed contingency options for financing residential garbage costs should the Town be forced to stop landfilling. Option I: cover the additional cost through taxes. Option II-A: Charge for garbage disposal by weight. Option II-B: Charge on a volume basis. Option II1: Charge by the bag, with the Town selling bags of a distinctive color and imprinted with the Town logo. Option IV: Introduce a tag system, whereby tags would be sold by the Town which would be fastened to the garbage cans or pastic bags. The Task Force representatives favor Option IV. They recommend a public information program, with hamlet meetings to educate the public and feel that when the public understands the problem the Town will be faced with they will likely support the solution. The consensus of the Town Board was that they favored the tag system, but would like information on what other towns are doing. Also, with respect to the tag proposal, they would like to see the Task Force refine the idea in further depth by the next Town Board meeting. 12:25 P.M. - Recess for lunch. I :45 P.M.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, let me go out to the audience in the interest of brevity before our public hearings, which are scheduled at 8:00 o'clock, other than any questions on those public hearings. Are there any members of the audience, that would like to address any questions to this Town Board, that will save time after the public hearings, for you to ask those questions. Yes, sir. ED SCHWINDT: It's not exactly a question. It's just a suggestion, if I may, as long as we have the time. My name is Ed Schwindt from Southold. Something that has always been on my mind. This Southold Logo here. I understand that was donation from Southwold, England, and I was shocked and amazed to see that no place on it, is there any indication of how it got here, or when it got here. I think there should be some kind of a little plaque telling the story, that it was given to us, because we're all going to go on as time goes on, and in years to come people will look at this, and never know how, or why it got here. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Mr. Schwindt, it's my understanding that what you're looking at here was a donation from a former Councilman, James Homan. He graciously commissioned to have this carved, and he donated it, and he didn't want his name on it, that he donated it to the Town. He didn't want any recognition. He iust did this for all the years that he's made a living out here, and that he served people in Southold Town. ED SCHWINDT: Was it true that it was donated? SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Let me let the Town Clerk explain exactly what trans- pired. TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's a replica of the carving, that stands in the square in Southwold, England, and when he was over there, I~e was so taken with it, that he commissioned to have a duplicate made in England, and shipped, at his own expense, and donated it to the Town. Jim was, also, Jim Homan was, also, a former Supervisor for a brief period of time. MARCH 26, 1991 391 ED SCHWINDT: As you refresh my memory now, Judith, that comes back to me. I still feel that if you wanted to be anonymous, couldn't you explain on that in a little plaque on that, exactly what you just said, that it was a copy of a logo from Southwold, England? SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I will be glad to take this up with Mr. Homan, and see if we can get him to reconsider, also, putting his name of it. ED SCHWINDT: Good idea. Thank you. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you for the suggestion. FRANK CARL1N: Frank Carlin. Laurel. It's hard to believe that the Town Board si-,nce about 1986 spend not much money on an animal shelter over there. Not much was spent since 1986, when you added that partial building there. We never seem to have any money. But, we seem to give ourselves raises. We have money for that, We can spend $175,000.00 for a parking lot back there, and incidently, Scott, at your last meeting in your speech, that the cost reduction, you reduced some Town employees. If you're doing that, why do you need more parking there for? SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Would you like me to answer that, Mr. Carlin? FRANK CARLIN: Let me finish. It's really a disgrace, that can't find any money to improve this animal shelter over here. If we can't find the money, float a bond. You float bonds for everything else, why not float a bond for that, and put up a halfway decent building to help reduce the noise. You're going to put down animals, I understand, from 60 to 48. Is that the only solution, you're going to have for us? COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: Can I comment, Frank? I had forwarded a report to the Town Board members, as well as the members of Dog Relocation Committee, and in the report I suggested, that James Richter, who is the Engineering Inspector for the Town, inspect the existing site, and forward his preliminary findings, and Bill Cremmers, who was a member of the Dog Relocation Committee, be contacted for imput. As the result of that, at the last meeting of the Dog Pound Relocation Committee James Richter submitted plans, that he feels will effectively reduce the noise level at the Dog Shelter. What the Town Board proposes to do is to install a six foot vegetated berm around the south perimeter of the Dog Shelter, which will block off the light shining in from the impound area, and from the Police Station on the dogs, and to berm the east side, and make the entrance on the north side, therefor effectively reducing any light, and noise, that has a tendency to arouse the dogs. Though the Town Board does not feel that that's the permanent solution to the Shelter, and while I, as a Town Board member, do intend to upgrade the Dog Shelter in the future, this is the best method that we could come up with at the time, to abate the noise, and we will be relocating the trailer to the north side. FRANK CARLIN: Mrs. Latson, what you said, I know all about that, because four months ago, I went over there with Ed Dart, when I was appointed to the Committee. Now, we looked over the whole animal shelter. I went over to Ray Jacobs, and he approved of it, putting up a 120 foot stockade fence in front of the building there to prevent light from the Police Station, putting up some stockade fence along the south side, which you don't have now, putting up a stockade fence, closing up the gate, which we don't have now, to prevent the light from coming in. I went all through that. I've got the plan right here. With all this planning, and this here..the trouble with the people is, when you get something done, you people plan, and it takes months, and months, and months to get something done, and then you come up half of the time with nothing. I've got it right here, and Ray Jacobs agreed. He wanted this plan. He says, I'll supply that fence, and I'll put it up for you. That was four months ago. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Mr. Carlin, I want to hand you, this apparently you haven't received. FRANK CARLIN: No, I haven't received that, but what we had in mind was what you're talking about was, in my opinion, just as good. SUPERVI~SOR HARRIS: This furthers what you mentioned, and it's one of the basis to see what's going to be done. FRANK CARLIN: All this fancy stenography here, I have it right here in black and white, pen and pencil. Same thing, only take about two months to do it. 392 MARCH 26, 1991 JUSTICE EDWARDS: Mr. Carlin, only today we approved the installation of those berms. You, also, have to consider now, that we were looking at two or three other sites, where people wanted this dog pound moved. We're not going to make any work out there, if we're going to move the dog pound. But now that we know this is going to be home base, we have this schematic, we have that print, which you were just given, and we authorized today to spend the money to do this work, only today. FRANK CARLIN: As far as the fence goes, he said he could supply the fence, and put it up. JUSTICE EDWARDS: That is correct. It's more than just a fence, though. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Frank, let me just digress for a minute. As you know, I ~formed the Shelter Relocation Committee, because of the situation that existed with the neighbors, for many years around that Shelter, who wanted it moved. It was supposed to be only a temporary facility, not a permanent facility. You were appointed to that committee by this Board. You served on this committee at a number of meetings. You dealt with the individuals on the other side of the fence, that were aggrieved by the noise on a constant basis, and I think you are fully aware of the situation, that exists, and how delicate this is at this time, and why you can't just surge ahead, and do what you want to do, because there is a lot of people's feelings involved, and people's lives involved here, when it comes to their health and welfare, that they're entitled to in this town, and that's why this town has been diligently working. I have been diligently working on this with this committee, and today, as Judge Edwards said, we're very pleased that we're moving ahead now. It's not a permanent solution by any means, but it is some resolve to a situation, that is ongoing, that has been put aside, and I think by putting up these berms, and vegetation, that this should help eleviate some of the noise, and relocation of the trailer with the fence that you mentioned, and with Ray Jacobs help, James Richter, who is the Town Engineer's help, and your direction, also, where you obviously had some imput into this, we're going to have some resolve, and something that is finally going to be done for those animals, not to mention, which is the main thing, something to be done for those people, who live around that facility, that certainly have a right to some kind of peaceful existence. FRANK CARLIN: Right, I agree with you on that stuff, but now that we decided to, at that location is going to be, let's concentrate on replacing that building. There's no reason why we can't replace that building. We can find money for other things, why can't we replace that building? It's falling apart. That would reduce the sound, SUPERVISOR HARRIS: We're doing a little at a time. With the economic times, that we have I appreciate your comments, and I think that when you go up there, again, hopefully, within the next three months, or whenever it takes to get this work completed, that you'll be pleasantly surprised, and pleased to see what has transacted up there. FRANK CARLIN: I think all of this is fine. You're still in the old building, and you keep avoiding that for the last six years. You need a new building. It's falling apart. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Hopefully, the North Fork Animal Welfare League, whlch is.a not-for-profit organization, I understand is going to have number of fund raisers, to help bring up some money through donations to help, maybe, facilitate something like this in the future, and that's something they're working towards right now, and I hope that everyone in this audience, and everyone that is watching will eventually help that North Fork Animal Welfare League in donations, because it certainly is what make us, as officials, and it make this town go and work very smoothly, especially where we don't have to fund it 100%. The North Fork Animal Welfare League' takes good credit, and credit is certainly due to them for the work that they do. FRANK CARLIN: You're right. I give the North Fork Animal 'League a lot of credit for what they're doing. They're doing a wonderful job there. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have the animals there now, but if they're going to take up this fund, and stuff, why can't the Town help out a little bit, too? In closing I want to say this, these animals are part of nature. They're put on this earth. It's our responsibility to see that they are taken care of in a fair, reasonable, and sensible way. Just keep that in mind. M^RCH 19913 9 3 SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Also, the Animal Welfare League takes great pride in saying, that three years ago, there were sixty' dogs up there, and today there are t~i~nty-eight. The adoptions are working very well. The program is workinq very well, and we certainly send our congratulations to them. Thank you. Are there any other members of the audience, that would like to address the Board on any matter at this time? (No response.) If not, we'll entertain moving into the public hearings in one minute.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: The next Local Law is a "Local Law in Relation to Require- ments for Fire Lanes". 19.-Moved by Councilman Penny, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, WHEREAS, there was presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold on the 26th day of February, 1991, a proposed Local Law No. 8 - 1991 entitled, "A Local Law in Relation to Requirements for Fire Lanes"; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on this Local Law on the 26th day of March, 1991, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard thereon; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that Local Law No. 8 - 1991 be enacted as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. 8 - 1991 A Local Law in Relation to Requirements for Fire Lanes BE IT ENACTED, by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: I. Chapter 100 (Zoning) of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows: 1. Section 100-235 (Requirements fro access and fire lanes) is hereby amended by adding thereto a new subsection (C) to read as follows: C. Fire Lane Standards for all lots improved with a building or structure. 1. Surface free from potholes, ruts and other defects. 2. Up to fifteen (15) feet in width and up to fifteen (15) feet in height subject to approval by Building Inspector for Residential Structures. 11. This Local Law shall take effect upon its filing with the Secretary of State. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: No. I oppose this, and I'd like to make a statement. I support the idea of adequate access for fire trucks to reach all homes in the town. I understand that fire departments have not been able to get adequate access along a number of private driveways in the town, and I think the Town Board could do more than it has to help the fire departments in this need. We could certainly publicize the need. We could promote compliance with it. With the fire department request, we could even send joint letters together with the fire departments to offending parties. But, I do not believe this proposed Law is a good one. Why do we require fifteen feet height clearance While the Mattituck railway underpass on Route 25 is only 12 feet high? I might add when the State legal requirement is 11½ feet for trucks, why do we require fifteen feet width clearance when site plan requirements are now only 12 feet for small subdivisions? Will all private driveways be rigorously held up to this requirement? If so, there are very few private driveways of the Town, which will not need a great deal of work. If not, which ones will be selected? What will be the criterion on which certain driveways will be required to be cleared to fifteen feet by fifteen feet? Indeed, how do we know which private roads will be held to these standards and which will not? These are all questions, that I've repeatedly tried to have answered, but have not had a satisfactory response from the Board. At a time, when the Town has rightfully stood up, and fouqht well meaning, but poorly thought out mandates put down upon us by the ~tate and County governments, I do not think we in Town government should be attempting to pass similar burdens on to our residents, and taxpayers. Thank you. 19.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Latson, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris. No: Counciman Wickham. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. COUNCILMAN PENNY: I would like to make a comment, also, that the requirement is not fifteen feet in width, and fifteen in height. It's up to, in both cases, subject to the approval of the Building Inspector on a recommendation from the Fire Commissioner. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: .Up to what? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Up to fifteen feet, and it's not going to be neccessarily held to that standard. It's up to the discretion of the Building Inspector, as established in the New York State Executive Law. So whether we had this in our Law or not, and we're only putting it in here, so people can clearly reach this, and have an understanding of What's going on here. These standards could be enforced by the Building Inspector at any time. This is strictly put in for clarification pu. rposes. I vote yes. Thank you. 3 9 8M^R H ,9,1 SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I, also, would like to make a comment, that this Local Law change, that we have here, has come to us from the Commissioners within all the~lfire districts in Southold Town. These Commissioners have grave concerns, when i~ comes to the welfare, and safety of the residents. Those districts are the responsibility for fire apparatus to help and accessitate vehicles to pass through safely, in order to get to any emergency. I think the fact that the Commissioners as a whole have come to this Board asking for help, these are all the Commissioners from all the fire departments, obviously there must be problems that exist now within each district of the enforcement of this, or else they wouldn't have come, and asked for our help to further benefit the safety and the welfare of those individuals that allow within their respective districts. Yes, I vote yes on this.
