SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean? COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Yes, I would like to report that the Highway Committee . met with the Planning Board on March 14th to try to reach a conclusion. on highway specs in a minor subdivision--or actually highway specs for anything but a major subdivision, and some suggestions were made for options. The Planning Board is d_eafting this up at this time and we will have something firm to present to the Town Board at our next Town Board meeting. Also on the 17th we had a meeting of the Housing Committee. The Town Planner. and the Housing Committee met with a developer who is interested in providing affordable housing through the Affordable MARCH 22, 1988 8 9 Housing Law. We had hoped that he would have a preliminary layout of what he has in mind, unfortunately his engineer idid not have it ready for the meeting, so we will be meeting with him again as soon as this is available, but we used the time to just kind of kick things around and discuss and update ourselves as to where we're trying to go. Also several things I would like to share with you: The Southold Green Committee is planning the dedication of the Green down here on the corner on May29th. They're planning a full day of activity and fun. We hop.e you'll put. that on your calendar and help us celebrate, because it's going to be a fun-day. I'm also happy to report that one of the water machines which we purchased is ready to go into operation and the Board made the decision today to place it in Greenport to better serve that area, because they were having a problem with running out of water with the one machine that they have. I think that's it, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY : Thank you,. Jean. George? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, I attended the Highway Committee meeting on the 14th which Jean has already reported on. On the 16th we had a meet,ing .of the Commerce and Industry Committee where we discussed the Master Plan,Update, the Site Plan Ordinance--the review of the Site Plan Ordinance, the Dog Pound, the North Fork Animal Welfare League and the Village-of Greenport. We got into a very lucrative discussion with some of the vineyard owners who are going to make a presentation to the Town Board requiring--hoping to get a modification in the zoning that is available for vineyards. I will hold off on any more reporting . on that and let them do that in the near future. We got into discussions on Southold Village and resort motels in the proposed M-11 zone for the Master Plan. On the 22nd, which was today, we had a meeting of the Police Committee where we discussed hiring two new officers. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ruth? COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you,. Frank. On March 16th 1 gave a talk before the Audubon Society. on water, and we had a very good question and answer period afterwards, and people were very interested and concerned. On March 17th also attended the Housing Committee meeting that Jean reported on, and this morning attended the Police Committee meeting that George.just reported on. Thank you.. SUPERVISOR MURPHY : Thank your, Ruth. The only thing I'd like to add is Sunday was a very busy,. but a great day, really: First l went to a lady in Greenport -who was 100 years old-and her entire family was celebrating it, and it really was quite nice. The lady was quite alert, knew what was going on; and I think really enjoyed the day. We had a proclamation from the Town for her. Then I went on to Troop: 6 in Southold at Southold High School which had what was probably the best showing. They had five Eagle Scouts being inducted, and it was the first time that I think every in Suffolk County that there were _five Eagle Scouts made from one 'troop at one time, and this is fantastic just reading through the various. projects that these young men worked on, really was fantastic, and the thanks really goes out to the Southold Rotary Club which sponsored it, 'Joey Conway was there with a proclamation for them. The troop leader Dick Hilary, the Scout Master there who has done a fantastic job, a^d his son happened to be one of the five, and this is his second son who became an Eagle Scout. 'So this really is quite something for Southold Town. The leaders of the Boy Scouts really appreciate what is going on in Southold Town. I think Southold Town is by far the leaders in Eagle Scout. programs and the whole Scout program, and it just I think re--enforces the fact that Southold Town really is a great place to live and people do care about others. 11.

So every time they haul the boat out they have to unweld these old zincs, or what's left of them, and weld new ones on at.. $45.00 per. block. They probably weight maybe five to seven pounds apiece, and they have. little steel, tabs on them, and they take off the old ones and put on the new ones. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Thank you. JUSTICE EDWARDS : You're•..welcome. My pleasure. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you,. Judge, for filling us. in. Ray, do you have anything? JUSTICE EDWARDS : The only thing is I just want to add it's picture taking time on Fishers Island., I have probably 25 applications for Motor Vehicle driver licenses sitting in Riverhead that I'll pick up tomorrow, and there's a few of the children that are away to school and they'll be home Easter Weekend, so I'm going to take the pictures over the Easter Weekend, and it will probably be a total of 30 Motor Vehicle driver. license'-photos that I'll .be taking over that weekend- All of sudden-- Was over here last Thursday and I cleaned up my Motor Vehicle file, but then between Saturday and Sunday--I usually have office hours on the Island'_on Sunday two hours in the morning--it makes it comfogable for the people when they're away from work or home for the weekend, and I wound up with eight motor vehicles to. register. between yesterday and Admorrow morning, all of a sudden like that. Plus a total of about I guess 30 to 35 vehicles so far I've registered this year, and there will be a good 30 drivers licenses Easter Weekend. Thank you, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you,. Ray. It's quite a service and;: we should be putting you on the State payroll. Okay, at this time is there..anyone in the audience who would like to address the Town Board? JOHN TUTHI LL: John Tuthill, Orient. I am one of the owners of the wetlands around Hallocks..Bay, and of course you all know that's been in the news and a lot of discussion lately, and I wanted to present the fact that it seems to be that is more of a private property problem then it is an;,,ecological problem, because all of us owners, and you've seen us before, we've kept Hallocks Bay open and MARCH 22, 1988 101 free of pollution for at least 250.years. The Town Board I'm sure is in favor of keeping Hallock's Bay pollution free, and you have all kinds of laws and regulations which certainly are adequate to do that. The Baymen want to keep Hallock's Bay free of pollution. The North Fork Environmental Association certainly do. So there's no objection anywhere along the line that we will keep Hallock's Bay free of pollution. But the State is insisting to come down here apparently, and buy the land which we do not want to sell, and I'm standing here to see if there's something the Town can do to help us out. Now, Ruth made a very good suggestion two or three meetings ago, that we get a top man from Albany down here to talk to us. Not so much to .tell us what their plans are--we don't want their plans. We would like to have that man come down so that you people and ours could explain to him that we don't need to have the State buy those wetlands. That will give him his money to use somewhere else, but as Lloyd Terry said in one of the speeches here, it's kind of a slap in the face to all of us. that have been keeping these open for so long, and it seems to me that if the Town Board would, along with us. and the Baymen and the North Fork Environmental, everybody talk to this top man, we'd get some results. It doesn't do any good to talk to the people in Stony Brook. They're bureaucrats like a lot of people are bureaucrats. They're told to do something, and they want to do it,. because if they can get that many more acres on their books probably it means two or three more men that they can put in their group, and it will. bring them up to another salary level, and it's all to their advantage. But. this top man ought to be able to listen to us and maybe take some action. Now, before I ask Ruth to make the motion again, I want to tell you another slant on this thing. I -was listening to television--just happened to turn it on the other day--and here's a woman. being interviewed, and this woman,.apparently had something to do with spending State money to buy State lands, and she said that the State now owns 6% of New York State and that they're goal was to own 100. So that got me thinking. How did Orient stand matter. So I went up to Van Tuyl and we looked it 'over and found out that Orient had 3200 acres. Now, Long Beach apparently has 800. So that's 4,000 acres in Orient. Now the State owns Long Beach-800. They're planning to own 450 more around Hallock's Bay, and the point now, which is not. the.-.State, but. it's the County more or less,: at- 50 acres. Now we don't count roads,. but thats 1300, and you divide that by 4,000 in Orient and that's 300 of Orient that's owned by the State--30o.. Now, the State's going to invite their people to come down and enjoy the State lands, and how 1ong is it going to be. before those people coming down to enjoy the State lands and they'll take the ferry, they're going to need a four-lane road. And that's not out of the question either,. because about 15 or 16 years ago they actually started to make part of a four-lane road across the causeway there. They wanted to save the causeway like they're doing now and their plan then was to build it up and make it four. Ia!nes. Well, we had a big cry about that, of course, and you could see what their plans were, and so what's Orient going to be? A wide place in a four- lane road where the people from the State come down and enjoy' walking on the State lands and probably spread a little bit of stuff around, papers and beer cans and stuff, and then either taken the ferry or go back, and we don't--none of you,. none of you want that, none of us want that. So, Ruth, since you made the very good suggestion, I ask you right now, make the mo.tion that we get this guy down from Albany---the North Fork Environmental group has already written to him, and ask him .to come down here and talk to us and see--we'll ask you people to see if you can't help us. to persuade him from trying to take our land from us. Period. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else would like to address the Town Board? In the. back. JOE MERKEL: Joe Merkel, Peconic. I think what John Tuthill said, I think everyone should stop and. listen to him, okay? There people are land owners for hundreds of years. We don't even know what that's like. We haven't been around that long. They have, and looks what's .happened. We depended on the DEC to protect our bays, okay?. And, look at what the bays are now. Up in' Riverhead the plant there is putting in 2,000 gallons a day of waste--it's not being treated right. One complaint- half,a ton oT nitrates every day--that's. been going on for twenty years, ten years, okay? The. bay right now is almost a dead sea, 16,000 acres of eel grass has died. I'm an avid fisherman. You can't catch any fish out there last summer. It's disgraceful yet we depended--we counted on the DEC and they let us down, and now we want to bring them in more? This is absurd. It could take 25 years or more for this bay to clean out. A lot of us might not even be around then. It's a dead sea out there.. We just can't catch any fish. It's so bad last summer the Blue Fish couldn't even see the They had to leave, and the Blue Fish was a pretty hardy fish. The Horseshoe Crabs are now gone. They've been around a billion Years, and we killed them out already, the Horeseshoe Crab. One billion years they've been. around, and we managed to destroy them. It's just sickening. When I go-out there--I've been boating for 25 years of my life or more, and when I go out here and you can't even enjoy .it. You're afraid to swim in that water, it's so brown you can't even see a foot down. And that's the DEC. And just last week in Newsday they come out and said they can't get any enforcement people 102 MARCH 22, 1988 down on Long Island, because they have no cost of adjustment for salaries. So they're a big paper tiger. They can print and print paper and that's all they do. I'm a landscaper and we just got paper this think of requirements for licensing. They're not going to enforce that, 20 to 30 pages long to put down crabgrass control on my customers. If a landscaper has 20 customers he's got to read through 20 pages of .requirements and laws and regulations and postings and notifications just to service 20 customers. Yet the homeowners aren't affected by this at all, and there's more homeowners that are putting more chemicals on their laws then the landscapers are. So as far as I'm concerned we don't want the DEC out here and we should listen- to the people. It's their property, they've been paying the taxes, they bought the land, and they deserve the right to use the land. And they've been taking care of it darn good and I don't think the DEC or anyone else can do any. better job then them. And I think we should listen to the people, and that's what government is supposed to be for, for the people, by the people, and "right now it's not that way. We've got some serious problems out here and no one seems to be doing anythipg about. it, and It, think it's about time that the people in government started listening to the people. Okay? And that's all. l have to say tonight. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else in the audience would like to address the Town Board? Over on the left? Middle? On the right? (No response.)
