SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, at this time we have a special proclamation to be made
by David Sinclair the Urban Forester from DEC. Toni (Antonia Booth, Town Historian)
you want to come up, and the Tree Committee too? What members do you have here?
Just one? Edward Dart. We knew we could depend upon you, Ed.
URBAN FORESTER DAVID SINCLAIR: Okay, I'm a Forester with the Department
of Environmental Conservation here on Long Island, and Department is awarding
different communities around the State the Urban Forestry Award to recognize those
communities that have conducted special projects for tree planting and beautification.
The Town 'of Southold is receiving the award for the Southold Challenge, which was
the tree planting project after the hurricane (Hurricane Gloria) . I'd like to present
this to the Supervisor.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, I appreciate it. We made Southold look a little
better.
URBAN FORESTER DAVID SINCLAIR: And going with the award is the seedling
from the historic Washington Sycamore up in White Plains. That tree was historic
because it was at the site of one of Washington's. headquarters in White Plains during
Revolutionary War.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you very much. Ed, do you want to say anything?
EDWARD DART, Chairman of the Southold Town Tree Committee: Well, only that
Southold now has a Town Tree Committee and we are formulating a Tree Ordinance
to try to preserve and protect some of the few trees that we have left along our
Town roads and by-ways and so forth. So we're about ready to present something
to the Town government that we hope can get in corporated into Town law to protect
our trees and in general have more awareness of the benefit trees have in the Town
and we want to start maintaining our trees,. doing some pruning and planting. There's
a lot of bare areas that could surely use some of that. So it's a fun project to be
involved with and I'm happy to be on the Tree Committee.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ed. Toni, would you like to make a statement?
(No.) We have all kinds of gifts today. We had this beautiful bowl for fruit, flowers,
whatever, presented to us by some visitors from Denmark. And they also presented
each one with a sug vase, named for the noise that it makes when you empty it.
I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, the first item on the Agenda are Reports, and these
are all on file in 'the Town Clerk's Office:
1 . Times Mirror. Cable Televisio report for the month of April, 1988.
2. Building Department's monthly report for May, 1988.
3. Recreation Department's monthly report for May, 1988.
4. ' At this time I would like to ask the Councilmen if they have anything special
to report, starting on m�7 left with Ray Edwards. -�
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes, Frank. To begin with there were three of us from the
Town Board, and Jim Hancock who is Chairman of the Fishers Island Garbage Committee
who went down to Bio Cycle in Philadelphia. We had two very informative days on
solid w_s to and recycling, which was, I think, the biggest thing that's going to be
put before us in the next three or four years. Fishers Island is doing well. They're
still not too happy with our Walsh Park A'1•fordable Housing gathering group over
there. We were short-changed by two lots due to some people in the Planning Board.
178 MAY 31, 1988
The Board of Health okayed the 12. The Building Department okayed the 12. The
Planning Board okayed the 12, and they come up with a little gimick where we're
only going to get 10--for now anyway. Fishers Island was very busy this weekend.
think they set an all-time record bringing motor vehicles over to the Island. Some-
thing like 300 they brought over on Friday. This morning I could not fly out early
because of the fog and I just-took a chance that I could fly later and not take the
ferry. The ferryboat was completely full. - I• think they left 10 or 15 cans this morning
that couldn't get back, but there was a special charter at 10:00 o'clock that was
going to bring. them back. 1 had a beautiful flight over. The fields are green, '
and it's pretty hard to see the Town Hall from the air now with all these big beautiful
trees with their leaves on. All in all it's been a pretty weekend. Oh, yes, I went
down to our little local airport Monday morning just to drive around there, and there
were 15 planes that were there for the weekend. So it's nice to have an airport
in your backyard. Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Do you feel like you've got a zap?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Thank you. I would just like to report that the dedication
of the Southold Town Green went very well Sunday. We had some lovely entertainment.
It's unfortunate that we were scheduled to start at 1 :00 and the first entertainment
group was 45 minutes late, so it kind of delayed the program and made some people
restless, but all in all I would like to congratulate the Committee for the beautiful
job that was done. It's like the old barn-raising when everyone cooperates and works
together in a positive fashion and it all happens at no expense to the taxpayer, all
through donations and volunteer time and it's kind of nice to know that that spirit
still exists in Southold. I have very little to report because I was fortunate enough
to have a week off and I traveled to Reno, Nevada. It's interesting now when
travel, since I.'ve been in this position. It was for the National Bowling Tournament,
and you meet and have the opportunity to speak with women from across the entire .
United States and I don't just say, "Hi, how are you?" I now say, "What is your
landfill? . What is your water situation?" And it's, just ingrain. It's part of something
you do now as you travel. In Oregon they call it a groundfill. We call it a landfill.
Reno is in- their second year a drought, and they feel that the drought .is going to
continue for quite sometime. They're used to getting--in the Lake Tahoe area, over
400 inches of snow which they are not.getting, but there were just two little interestirl
facts I'd like to share with you. We did do a paddle-wheel cruise on Lake Tahoe,
which is absolutely the most magnificant location I've ever seen. the Lake itself is
99.7% crystal clear pure of pollution. It's an alpine lake. The filling of the lake--it's
a very deep lake--but it comes, of course, from the falling of the snow on the mountains.
There is some development along .the south side of the shore of the lake where Lake
Tahoe Village is, and one of my first questions--what about septic and cesspools?
Well, you're not allowed to build on the- lake unless you put in holding tanks, and
then the holding tanks are pumped out, and this is the one way that they've been
able to keep this lake as pure as it is. It picks up its color from the sky. So if
you have a gray day it's one color. The day we were there it was the most magnificant
beautiful blue sky you'd ever want to see, and the color of the water was Tidy Bowl.
That's the color blue it .was. We said, "Look at all this Tidy Bowl." And the other
interesting fact I found interesting was when we were up in---it does, Frank. It's
the most beautiful blue you'd ever want to see. One of the gals said it's "Tidy Bowl",
and I agreed with her.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's where they bottle it.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : It's beautiful. But one other fact that I found very
interesting, in the area of Lake Tahoe there are seven different volcanos, and they .
showed "us--we were were on another tour--they showed us one volcano that has not
had any snow stay on it for two years. When Mt. St. Helen erupted--which is 650
miles away from Mt. William, which was the volcano in the Lake Tahoe area;' it made
the internal temperature of the volcano rise 51 0, so for the last few years when it
has snowed the snow .melts off this particular mountain. But I found it interesting
that a volcano would erupt 650 miles away and affect the one underground in Lake-
Tahoe. I just wanted to share those things with you. All in all it was a nice trip.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You didn't tell us the best part.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHR--.%N: What's that? -
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Your winning..
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I didn't want to put that in the public record. But
did come home a winner. I had my trip paid for out of my winnings.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We won't report—ou. We won't say what your trip cost.
MAY 31, 1988 179
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Compared to Jean's, mine is going to be fairly boring. On the
18th we had a Commerce and Industry Committee meeting. We discussed the parking
situation in Southold Village, and possible ways to cure it. We decided to get a committee
together to report on the need and placement of hamlet parking directional signs so
people are aware of the parking areas that do exist at present. We also discussed
very thoroughly the Chamber of Commerce's position on the Master Plan, our upcoming
Master Plan. On the 24th I met with the Utility Committee of the Village of Greenport
where we negotiated the hydrant rates for the East-West WAster District. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I just agree with Jean. It's terrible, wherever you do go,
you start asking people, "What do you get for your water?" "Where do you put your
garbage?" "Where does your sewerage go?" A little knowledge sometimes .is a terrible
thing. Anyway, since the last time I was here--I wasn't here at the last Board meeting--
but ,on May 4th we had a Code Committee meeting which Ellen had reported on before.
On May 5th there was a Coastal Erosion Conference in Riverhead which was very interest-
ing about building homes and the problems involved in barrier islands, or in 'IV,, zones,
which was a very interesting program: May 9th I attended the Planning Board. May
12th we had the Highway Committee and the League of Women Voter's dinner which
Mr. Wickham gave a very interesting presentation. On May 13th I traveled to New
York City to the Association of the. Bar. They were putting on a Waste Management
Conference, ,and I found four things to be of particular interest, that they are even
doing some source separation and pilot projects in Brooklyn with apartment houses,
and it's working very well. Also there was a gentleman .there from the plastics industry,
and they're becoming aware too of the need to recycle different plastic materials. So
within the next year or two there will be a code embossed on the bottom of plastic
bottles and you will be able to tell by that code what different type of resins are put
into it, so therefore you will be able to recycle some in different ways. Also there
was a gentleman there from the EPA who told us that the federal government is becoming
more and more involved now with :landfills and solid waste management, and I was able
to speak to him, and he was actually fascinated with the fact that we are going to have
our own household hazardous waste building in the near future and he wants all the
information about it,and as we progress along .' all the information how we're progressing
about .for public relations tell other communities all over the country, because evidentially
we're the first one he's even heard of in the entire country. And they were also most
impressed with our household battery collection. No one else has been. doing that.
So I think Southold is first in a few things here. We also had a presentation by Mr.
Nosenchuck from the DEC and I must say I gave a copy of his remarks to the Boar..d.
He was quite adament in his presentation that by 1990 he wants every landfill in .the
State of New York closed. So we have a lot of work to do in the next two years..: From
May 18th to May 20th I also attended the Bio Cycle Conference in Philadelphia. I found
it to be most informative. It was a more positive approach I thought this year than
last year. There were more and more people. It was extremely well attended. They're
.really interested in finding out about recycling, about source separation, .separating
out the composting facility. They're interested in a refuse drive too, but they really
want more and more information on just not to go into incineration. So it was extremely
well attended and very positive thing. On May 23rd I attended Long Island Regional
Planning Board's Watershed Protection Area Advisory Committee. We had presentations
by a couple different people from Nassau County. They sure have a lot of problems.
They have like 700 sumps in Nassau County and yet only 25% of them are put in an
area which can really contribute to groundwater protection. So they have work to
do. And then the Assistant Director of Planning Arthur Kunz had been in a planning
conference in Texas and he gave a short report on what they call the Edwards Aquifer
there. It's just a narrow piece there and it's shaped like a tilted pan and it just really
runs right off, so really when the rain falls the people are practically drinking it the
next day. But,the interesting thing there is they have no zoning; no planning. So
they have allowed buildings in areas that should never be built upon, that in the next .
few year* they probably will have great, great problems with their water. On May
24th we had the Farmland Preserva- i_on Committee, and we are going to send some other
farmland proposals to the County .for "the County acquisition. We also had a meeting
of the Open Space Committee, an organizational meeting, and our chairman will be Art
Ross, and we will be meeting with a couple of people on some open space propositions
in our next meeting in Jt°�ne. May 25th was a Trustees meeting. May 26th I was very
privileged to attend the dedication of a memorial plaque for William Smith and Harry
Smith at the Informational Booth at Greenport by the Chamber of Commerce. May 29th
I attended the Green Dedication here which was really quite lovely and very, very
well done, and I certainly would add my thanks to Jean's to that of the Green Committee
who worked so hard. On May .30th we attended the Cutchogue Parade with the dedication
to the memorial dead down at the parade ground down in Cutchogue, and that was
very well attended and was just a joy to be and see all the kids, they're so cute, looking
at them. We met with some of our Danish friends from Denmark at a buffet last evening;
1 V O MAY 31, 1988
which also was most enjoyable. Also, there will be no Code Committee meeting tomorrow
night, June 1st, because Jay can't be there or Rob, and we will reschedule that for
next Wednesday, June 8th. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. Ellen is missing today. She's had a badly
impacted, infected tooth, and I guess it's taken out now and she still has quite an
infection I guess. So I would just like to add a couple more. That Bio Cycle Conference
thought was excellent, and I think an awful lot of good information came out of it.
We had a very busy and very enjoyable week with the dedication of the Green and
echoing everyone's sentiments I would like to thank the community for doing such a
good job and presenting the Town with such a beautiful park. We did have--you talk
of how when people come--in particular I met the people from Denmark last night. Je
arranged a lovely party down there to meet different people, and they really were fan c,
but the week before I had come in to my office the Rotary exchange people from the
Philippines. They were professional people. I believe there were five of them, and
started talking .about the Town, how the Town governs and all this, and the different
departments, and within about .ten minutes we got on to landfills and garbage problems.
We spent about an hour and. a half down at the landfill showing what we've done, talking
about what they're doing and their various problems. So this is a serious problem
and it's not just on Long Island, it throughout the whole world. Two weeks from
now, from today, 10:00 o'clock in the morning, we are- going to have the dedication
of our Stop Program building, household collection site, hazardous chemical collection
site. The Commissioner of DEC will be down to help us dedicate the building--Commissioner
Jorling and Harold Berger, plus we're _inviting everybody else. - We expect to go up
to Albany very shortly with Dr. Epstein to meet with 'Norman Nosenchuck from the
DEC and the NYSERTA people on funding for our program down. here in Southold.
So it does look very good.

public notices. These are all on file on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, we are going to discuss two inspections that were
made of unsafe buildings after the meeting, but to save time is there anyone here
who would like to address the Town Board at this time? Yes, .sir?.
JOHN TUTHILL: I'm John Tuthill of Orient. I guess it's no surprise I want to talk
about the planned State take-over of some land around Hallocks Bay. Now, about .
four weeks ago we talked about maybe the Town Board would help us, and since new
information has come up, I would like to continue that discussion a little bit on this
help. To give you a definition of what we're talking about, we're not asking the
Town Board to go to war with the State, we're just asking you to make a resolution
to write a letter to Harold Berger to have him come down here and talking to us
as a group. Now, we didn't get very far the first time around, so we landowners
wrote some letters after that meeting. We wrote three letters and they're all the
same. And we wrote one to Assemblyman Sawicki, one to LaValle and one to Governor
Cuomo, and in each one .of them we asked them if they would get in touch with Harold
Berger and ask him to come and talk to us as a group. And in that letter we stated
what we would like to talk to Harold Berger about. Now, again nobody will be surprised
if the first thing we wanted to talk to him about was that we do not want to sell
our land. Now, the second thing we want to talk to him about was that this is a
private property take-over and not an environmental issue. Since there are now
Town, County and State laws to adequately protect the wetlands. Now, this is where
a new item came in providing talking about private property take-over. As you people
probably noticed in The Suffolk Times last week, there was a copy of a letter that
Greenport-Southold Chamber of Commerce sent to Governor Cuomo on, this same subject,
and I would like-to read part of it to make it.a part of this meeting. And it went
like this: "The Assembly hearing which was held last year reveals the high-handed
tactics of the DEC. The desire and methods used by the DEC Are shown in recent
attempts of the DE.0 to seize properties in Orient against the landowner's wishes.
These- properties have been preserved for generations by private ownership and have
shown a respect for nature. These- properties pay taxes to the Town of Southold.
and are basically unbuildable lots.`~ Why remove them from the tax rolls? The whole
operation of the DEC is similar to Nazi Germany. . .in the same manner as the Gastopo.
What has happened to our property rights in New York State? According to the
local newspapers the<=DEC is unwilling to discuss the proposed seizure of their .Property
with the property owners. The DEC apparently has no respect for our elected -Town
officials either. This is not an isolated case. This is an infringement on our
Constitutional rights." This is written by Richard Wilton, President, on behalf of
the Board of Directors of the Southold Chamber of Commerce. So I was glad to have
tha-tStatement too, because that's the way we've been feeling and that is the reason
we would like to have some help from you people along that same line so that we
can get that across to Harold Berger.-'-" Now, the third thing we wanted to tell Harold
was that--this is number three: Why does the State really want to buy our property?
188 MAY 31, 1988
They already own Long Beach State Park, and with this acquisition will own over
300 of Orient. We hope Harold Berger will understand that we don't want to be over-
whelmed by the State. More State purchases, four lane roads and little Orient will
be gone. So it's really an important thing to us that we don't lose Orient. So again
wish that you would help us. Ruth, at one time you said you would make the motion
to get somehigh DEC officials out here to talk to us, and now is a good time to make
that motion.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Well, as I had told you we did speak to Harold Berger
about coming down and he said he did not feel it would be effective to talk to the
group as a whole, but would be happy to answer any individual questions that you
have. So I think. . . . . . . .
JOHN TUTHILL: But I think you could write a letter with the backing of the whole
Board and at least give him an indication that everybody down here in Southold Town
is interested in at least being able to talk to the DEC.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Well, that you'd be able to do by discussing it with Harold
Berger yourself.
JOHN TUTHILL: Well, we want to talk to them as a group.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: There again we presented your opinion and he gave 'us
his opinion, so. . . . .
JOHN TUTHILL: Can this letter be written? We would like to have the Town Board
write this letter and ask him to come down. And we hope that these other letters--
maybe the Senator and the Assemblyman and the Governor will also help. But I think
that it would be good if you people could, as a whole, go on record with a letter
and ask him. Could we do that?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Again I feel that we have asked Mr. Berger and we had
many of the officials there, that they felt that a lot of your concerns were so individual
that to speak to you as a group as a whole would be rather fruitless, because there's
so many- conflicting things, that they would talk to individuals, because, John, if
you don't want to sell it you will tell them "no". That's it. When they come.
JOHN TUTHILL: Sure, and then what do they do?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I don't think that--you know, the State or any governmental
agency is in the process of taking property away. I really don't.
JOHN TUTHILL: With Gids Island they're doing it right now.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: That was a very special case, because they could not really
build upon it because the thing is- flooded and you and I both know it.
JOHN TUTHILL: But it's no more special then the rest of Hallocks Bay.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All right, this is not a debate, Mr. Tuthill. You're here
to address the Town Board if you'd like. . Do you have anything else?
JOHN TUTHILL: I am addressing the Town Board. I wish you'd write this letter.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to- address
the Town Board?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I would like to remark to John that you have my support
as far as the letter is concerned.
JOHN TUTH+LL: Thank you.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I'd love to write the ;getter, John. You know that.
Y _
JOHN TUTHILL: I know it. I know it.
LLOYD TERRY: Mr. Chairman, I would like-----
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Would you identify yourself, sir.
LLOYD TERRY: Lloyd Terry, Orient. As most of you know, the State promised
certain things to the people of Orient when they took over Long Beach as State Park,
and when the hurricane washed out the road, I think it was in 138, they conveniently
saw fit to condemn all those projects. Now, understand that that was at the time
of the depression and everybody was sNort on money. Now we have 4 million dollars
just burning a hole in certain pockets, and with th-8ft- in mind they want to take over
MAY 31, 1988 189
more land. Now,they already have at least a mile 'of beautiful gravely beach on the
north side of Long Beach. West of Pete Neck they promised a dock and this was
a project that would benefit many, many people, not only local, but a beach and
a new road and a dock I think people would get their money's worth. I don't see
any reason why they should just sit like a dog in a manger on land they already
had and already had promised to do certain things to, and then they just reneged
on it. 1 don't see how you can build up any confidence in a situation like that.
We have no idea what they intend to use this tidal land for if they do take it, to
say nothing of the buffer zone. I understand they've gone inland and take some
of our best farmland. This is maybe like Russia, as well as Nazi Germany. Thank
you very much.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, sir. Is there anyone else who would like to
address the Town Board? (No response.) If not, I will entertain a motion to recess.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just a moment I have something to say.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Oh, go ahead.. I'm sorry.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: It was about 1 think the end of April or beginning of May that
Councilwoman Cochran questioned one of the resolutions about the Fishers Island
Ferry. Every time they haul the boat out there's a contract in there so much per
sacrificial zinc, so she asked what a sacrificial zinc was. So when they hauled out
the Race Point I had one put aside and I'm going to present Mrs. Cochran with a
sacrificial zinc. It came off of the Race Point and it made at least 300 round trips
to Fishers Island.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: That's fascinating. This is zinc?
-JUSTICE EDWARDS: That's one of about 50 that they removed off the boat and put
new ones on.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Okay, thanks to Fishers Island and to Judge Edwards.
It's something I've always wanted.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: You can use that for your rock garden.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I shall treasure it always. Thank you. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Judge, do we have any more presentations?:
JUSTICE EDWARDS: No, nothing at the present time.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, anyone else like to address the Board? (No response.)
All right, I'd like to entertain a motion to recess for the time it takes discuss these
two unsafe buildings.
