342 OCTOBER 18, 1988
I. REPORTS
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The first item on the agenda ar Reports. These reports
are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office for anyone who would like to see them.
1 • Scavenger Waste Treatment Facility Report for September, 1988
2• Town Justice Tedeschi, monthly report for September, •1988.
3. Police Department monthly report for September, 1988.
4. Building Department monthly report for September, 1988.
S. Supervisor's monthly Budget report for September, 1988.
6. Councimen's Reports- At this time I'd like to ask the Councilman
if they have anything to report, starting on my left with Ray Edwards.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: A couple weeks ago we had very informative Civic
Association meeting on Fishers Island along with a meeting of the Conservancy.
also want to recognize two of my Fishers Island constituents in the back of
the room, who drove down here from Hartford this morning, loading up their r
car with your famous veggies. We also had a meeting this past Friday, when
the Planning Board flew over for a public hearing on the Walsh Park
affordable housing on Fishers Island, and it went extremely well. With that,
thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond. Ray, may I ask, was there
any opposition at all.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: There was a slight amount from the North Hill group,
but I think it's more or less subsided. Once they found out t at w at's being
done over there. I don't think it was really that much. I was more-informative
than anything else. Nothing really concrete.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's good. Very good. Hope it moves. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: On. September 27th, I attended the Water Advisory
Committee meeting. As you know, the core watershed area was designated
by the Town Board to be that area 500 feet-south of the ray road track, and
to run parallel with the LILCO line to Mill Lane in Mattituck and Ackerly
_ Pond Lane in Southold. This area was designated as such, because it was
determined that it was deepest recharge area within the Town, and had the
best potential to ensure future water supply for the Town of Southold. The_
Water Advisory Committee was expanded to include 10 members for a broad
scope of advisors to have a mixed positive input for future lanEf use and
management in this area. Two members of the Committee took it upon them-
selves to solve the difficult and time-consuming task of indentifying all the
property owners and acreage involved within the core watershed area, which
is 2,200 acres, more or less. Additional members were assigned, and asked
to submit recommendations on conservation, educational method programs,
water filtration usage, etc. These reports will be presented to the Town
Board in the near future as soon as they're totally finalized with specific
management recommendations with the intent with- the implication of a manage-
ment program for the Town. On October 1st, at the request of the Orient
Association, I addressed their membership in what the Town Board has�een
doing for the bay. We discussed such topics as National Estuarine status, which
am very happy to report did recieve the, the Peconic Bay system, did recently
receive this designation as the result of any direct efforts of the Peconic
Bay Task Force, Congressman George Hockbrueckner, and Congressman
Diobroto from Westchester. This will give the Town a ri_tural estuarine
status. We're not sure whether it will receive its own, or whether it will
be hooked on to Long Island Sound, but we will be able to ensure the no
discharge status, which the Town Board has approved by a Legislative message
in support of, and additional funding for the rehabilitation of the Peconic
system. We discussed the Five Town management plan, an approach the five
eastern Towns are taking to address the Peconic Bay system as a regional
natural resource. I might add that it's recreational, scenic and habitat value
are visually .irreplaceable in terms of refurbishing and tax payers' dollars.
Pump-out stations within the Town, our Local Waterfront Revitalization Plans
the Peconic Bay Task Force role, the Brown Tide study, the vital filtration
system we've initiated within the Town, our seed clam program with one
million clams that was made available through a grant from the New York
State DEC to the baymen in Southold Town and Green Seal Scallop Reseeding
-Program. There was a question,answer period that followed and it was a
very enjoyable evening. On October 6th, there was a meeting of the Open
Space :Committee, which Councilwoman Cochran will report on. I was unable
to. attend that meeting that evening although I did speak with Art Ross, the
chairman prior to that. Their goals are to set up an aquisition plan for
the Town for parcels. With the Farmland Preservation Pro ram the Town
could not actively solicit parcels. With the Open Space"Bond Act we can.
had a memorandum from Rob Berntsson. - I asked him to research the possi-.
bility of matching EQBA funds with the Towns' 1 .75 million dollars. According
to his memorandum there is no matching provision within the EQBA Act for
OCTOBER 18, 1988 343
open space programs. We are not .goin.g.to_accept that as the final word
and are investigating the possibility of using this as such with the DEC
itself at the present time. On October 6th, we had representatives from the
Army Corp of Engineers, along with a wildlife specialist from the Army
Corp of Engineers.At the request of Councilwoman Cochran I arranged a
meeting to determine the feasabi4ity of a launching ramp at Mattituck inlet
We met down there and, certainly the Army Corp said that they would support
and entertain a permit application to put a ramp there. We did meet with
members of the Mattituck area, I guess it's a home owners association there,
probably a three or four hundred member organization, who are actively in
opposition to this ramp being put here. I have one being on record as being
in support of it, where the Mattituck inlet is only major channel west of Port
Jefferson, that provides access to the Long Island Sound. We have a grant
of $230,000.00, which was one of the highest grants given to a municipality
for the purpose of waterfront accessing to Long Island Sound. There are
reasons that the Association is not supporting it. Mainly, they have very
adverse feelings as to the influx of potential ramp users into the area. We
have researched this, and we have found that the Town can limit the size
of the parking and access to the ramp. There has been a problem in this
area in the past with a call for additional police protection within the park
district. We have discussed this with the Police Department, and with the
ramp at the site, the police protection would be provided. And this is at
no' cost to the taxpayer. It's EQBA money that has been appropriated by
the voters through a referandum to be spent and this is our share of it.
On October 12th, I attended a Code Committee meeting, which Councilwoman
Oliva will report on, as chairwoman, and yesterday I attended budget session
on the Supervisor's Proposed Budget. We met with the historian, the recreation
director, the assessors, the Town planners, the community resources director,
the Southold Town Promotion ,Committe, and the libraries. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. George? Oh, I'm sorry. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I've been on 'vacation,anyway. I spent a lovely
week traveling through New England with my Mom. She celebrated her 80th.
I had one day home, and then headed out with Councilwoman Oliva and our
Supervisor to Minneapolis, Minnesota, once again, to look at composting and
recycling operations. Those firms have submitted proposals, so it's not under
discussion at this time. I'd also like to welcome our travelers from Fishers
Island, and I'd like to wish Ellen a happy birthday. Today is her 35th birth-
day. That's it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Happy birthday, Ellen. Now, George?
CO.UNCILMAN PENNY: On the 6th, I attended two Corp of Army Engineers
sessions, one at Youngs' Marina in the morning on Howard Zehner's proposal,
and the second one, as Ellen reported on, at the Carey tank farm. Just.
to fill in a little more on the opposition from the community. They're not
only concerned with the amount of people that will coming and using it. A
lot of the concern is over the amount of maintainance that is going to be
required because these people that live in the area and they see the flow
of sand filling up the channel there. Before this proposal can even take
place, there will probably have to be a major dredging operation of about
50 to 70 feet of shoreline,. to get back to the orginal shoreline, and then
the maintainance dredging from year to year is going to be a major cost to
the Town. This is one of the concerns that came up over and over again
by the people that were there. The other form of opposition, which the
people were not notified of this meeting so they -were not able to voice it
themselves, but they have voiced it here publicly here in the Town Hall,
is the problem is there is going to be restrictioning navigation in a very
narrow waterway from the Fishermans' Association, which is actively. against
this proposal, as I am. We have a good side -at the head of the creek, which
the 'Town owns the property. First of all, the Town doesn't even own this
property we're discussing. We had a piece of property, which we could act
on right now if we were that concerned about access to the Sound and I
think a committee should be formed to look into this., We .already have the
property. It's right up by the Mattituck. Park District boat ramp, and why
deal with a piece of property we don't even know if we're going to get. If
we're that concerned about these things, maybe we should start researching
putting one up off a major highway, which would. be a very easy access,
it won't bother any residential communities, and the property is ours already.
On the 11th, the Dog Pound Committee, which very rarely meets, met with
the North Fork Animal Welfare League. The new officers and some of the
directors to discuss their contract-with the Town and their obligations, and
also, the Village of Greenport. On the-+12th, I attended the Code Committee
meeting, which is going to be reported on. On the 17th, the Budget meeting,
which we had yesterday. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ruth?

OCTOBER 18, 1988
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: On O.gtober Gth, I, also, attended the Corps informal
hearing at Youngs Marina and Mattituck Inlet. I think enough has been said
about Mattituck Inlet at the present time. I think it's up for far more discussion.
That evening we had an Open Space Committee meeting and Andy Stype there
to discuss one of his appraisals. Some of the members had some questions
about it. We had also asked Greg Blass to come to the meeting to discuss
a letter we had received from him about preserving or buying some of these
lands around Richmond Creek, but unfortunately he was not there, so perhaps
we should set up a meeting with Mr. Blass, the planners, and the people *`
that are interested in preserving that. We, also, discussed some other pieces
of property, which I don't think I should discuss at this point for acquisition,
and interesting enough, the DEC is interested in acquiring some of these,
so perhaps if they are not too big we could make a joint effort or purchase
them ourselves. On October 11th, I attended the committee meeting with
the North Fork Animal League. We had a very friendly discussion about
their contract. We had a Code Committee meeting on October 12th, and we
were discussing signs, business signs and residential properties. We have
come to some sort of conclusion on it, but we want to have the input of the
ZBA, and they weren't able to attend at that time, and we continued discussing
some changes that will probably have to be made in the new Master Plan Code
if adopted, and we will meet again in another three weeks. October 111th
to 14th, I traveled along with Councilwoman Cochran and Supervisor Murphy,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, where we visited two different plants. It was a most
interesting trip and again the more we see, . the more we learn. On October
17th, I attended the special Groundwater Protection' Area Advisory Committee.
in Hauppauge, and we had an excellent presentation by Alan Connell, who's
with the soil and water conservation people, about different types of irrigation,
and how the farmers can cut their costs down by putting in whatever type
fits into their drip irrigation for orchards or spraying for. say a whole field,
and they're going into a whole thing of monitoring these different fields with
types of soil sensors. So that was very good. Bill Sanok came up and he
discussed about the pesticide, the nitrate problem in the soil. Joe Chaska
gave an overall view. It was really very well done. Yesterday I also, attended
the budget meeting with everyone. Thank you.

352 OCTOBER 18, 1988
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's the end of our added-on to agenda, and at
this time I'd like to ask the Town Board if they have anything further to
say. Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Nothing at this time. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, I was under the impression, that we were going
to have a third public hearing tonight, because I did have some comments.
I feel that it's not neccessary to take tax properties off the tax roll for public
purposes, when you can have the same goals accomplished by means of ease-
ments. Keep the property in the public domain, and not have the Town
responsible for these properties. That's one part of it. The second of it,
is that this comes out clustering, and clustering is a very inportant feature
of our two acre zoning. What clustering says, is although we have a two
acre zoning in these areas, that although we're clustering we're leaving that
same portion of land available for the use of the people, and exclusively for
the use of those people in those clustered subdivisions. And in turning
these properties over to the public use, it takes that away from the whole
intention of two acre zoning from my mind. I just can't .go along with that.
feel that it's very inportant to maintain the integrity of two acre zoning
in one form or another, and, by pulling into the public domain for whatever
reason whatsoever, you're' taking it away from somebody and what you have
left, in effect, is a residual one acre zoning exclusively for the use of the
people in that subdivision, and that's something the Town Board voted against
in 1983, when they went into two acre zoning. So I feel that that's not
neccesary. Easements could have done the same thing. We need easements
for many purposes. We have a subdivision, which is going to give us ease-
ments for drainage. We're looking for easements for water preservation
purposes, and all these people would readily give us these easements, but
that does not take the property off the tax rolls, and does not put the
responsibility for those parcels, the liability, for those parcels in the hands
of the public. It keeps them privately, where they can do just fine. The
other resolution, which I voted against is one in which the Planning Board
is now saying that if a minor subdivision, or what used to be known as a
minor subdivision in Southold Town, requires a road, that it now becomes
a major subdivision and it is under the same constraints as all major sub-
divisions with the exception that the roads are a little less narrow.Which
means that the same engineering, the same fee structure will apply to almost all
subdivisions. And that is going to put a very large burden on developers
of small parcels. If you have a parcel property, and you want to split it
up for your children now, you're going to have a whole new set of regula-
tions and a lot of expense to go through. If you came in with a twenty
lot subdivision before, the consideration is going to be given. And I've
heard that this has happened in several other areas, where meaningful
changes have been made, such as this, where people used to come for four
and five acre parcels now, and when they find out the cost is going to be
just a little bit more, are going to come in with . . . . .subdivison, and I feel
that this is a philosophical difference that I have with this Board and I'm
going maintain that time is going to tell on this one. You're going to see
where people would come in with large lot minors now. You're going to see
a deletion of this, and a proti'feration of major subdivisions in Southold Town.
Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you... Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Nothing. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen? r
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Nothing, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Raymond?

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone in the audience who would like to address

WALTER SMITH: I'm Walter Smith. I'm President of the Southold Indian
Museum, legally known as the Incoporated Long Island Chapter of the New
York State Archaeologal Association. The Trustees and the Officers of the
association wish to thank you, Supervisor Murphy, and the Town Board for
their support of our museum, which has helped us stay open on a twelve
month basis. We thank you again, from all our Board-.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else?
OCTOBER 18,1988 3 5 3
BETTY JESSUP: I'm Betty Jessup from the League of Woman Voters. We
want to commend the Board on our new toxic waste facility, and on the new
composting and, also being the first on the household battery collection in
New York State, which we'll help happily to inaugurate with a school children
contest on collecting the batteries. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else in the audience?
PHIL BARTH: I had a question on the easements. On an easement now,
if the Town gets an easement instead of getting the land held in public trust,
who will be responsible for taking care of the property when it's an easement.
What if the owner of the property now doesn't maintain it.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: It's up to the owners of the property to maintain
the property. What type of maintainence are you looking for?
PHIL BARTH: You know, if it becomes overgrown. Anything.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: If it becomes overgrown? It's the property owners
responibility. How can it become overgrown?
PHIL BARTH: We have this property. We can maintain it, and can maintain
it in such a way, the way we want to maintain it.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: This is a watershed area in this one specific case.
What are you asking for?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We could carry that discussion on. Maybe you .and
George should. . . .
PHIL BARTH: It's not a discussion, just a clarification. Who would maintain
it, if it was an easement?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: The property owner.
PHIL BARTH: If he doesn't?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: And if he doesn't? That's a no ended question. What
do you mean, if he doesn't?
PHIL BARTH: He just doesn't maintain it.
