9:05 A.M. - Arden Scott and Fraizer Dougherty, spokespeople for a group of
Greenport residents, met with the Town Board to ask them to revise the parking
restrictions at the terminus of Sound Road (67 Steps) , Greenport. The recent law
restricting parking between sunset and 6:00 A.M. has prohibited the residents from
parking and using the beach, where they said there isn't a problem. The problem
is at the parking . area, and the restricted . time has not solved the ' problem of
loitering, littering and vandalism. Supervisor Cochran said there must be a
compromise. The disturbances at the road end affect the residents of the area.
.Perhaps the Town should go back to the way it had been for years, 10:00 P.M. to
6:00 A.M. The matter was referred to the Code Committee for review.
9:30 A.M. - Mary Mulcahy Jackson met with. the Town Board to bring them up to
date on her accomplishments over the past few years as Recycling Coordinator. A
resolution (23) was placed on the agenda to reappoint Ms. Jackson through August,
1997.
9:40 A.M. - Town Board placed a resolution (24) on the agenda to appoint Ann
Morris as a part-time Clerk Typist in the Building Department.----The Board agreed

to meet with .:them to discuss the cost of the survey.----Town Clerk Terry asked
the Town Board to consider a modification to the 1996 Capital Budget to provide for
the purchase of a dehumidifier for the storage room. Board agreed, and prices will
be obtained and a budget modification will be prepared when there is a firm price.-
,Board again discussed the proposal for a visitor pass for residents whose property
fronts on a roadfront adjacent to a Town beach where parking is prohibited.. Since
there were still questions concerning cost, total number of permits to be allowed,
and should they , be dated,, the proposal was sent back to the Code Committee.----
Resolutions (2-5 E 26). were placed on the agenda to accept bids for a new Leaf and
Yard Waste ..Shredder, • and a .new Trommel Screening Plant for the Solid- Waste
Management District.
10:00 A.M. - Senior Planner Valerie Scopaz met with the Town Board to ask whether
they wish to participate in the tax "Incentive Plan" proposed by Suffolk County.
The deadline is rapidly approaching and the County needs the Town's draft plan
to incorporate in the presentation to the Suffolk County Legislature for adoption.
The Board agreed consideration should be given to marinas and mariculture. Ms.
Scopaz said that Suffolk County Department of Economic Development Commissioner
Thomas Junor offered to assist her with the preparation of the Town's draft plan.
10:40 A.M. - Town Board reviewed the Town Attorney's recent Landfill Closure
Update, and Solid Waste Coordinator Bunchuck's update on .the Landfill Closure
Investigation work currently underway.----Supervisor Cochran submitted a proposal
from Superintendent of Highways Jacobs for the purchase of a parcel of- land from
the County of Suffolk.. The property is a portion of Pond Lane, off of Laurel
AUGUST 20. 1996
Avenue, Southold, and has been offered to the Town prior to sale at public auction.
The Board placed a resolution (27) on the agenda to express the Town's interest
in the parcel.----Town Board discussed proposed Local Law in Relation to Speed
Limits - Boats. Due to the provision concerning operation of a boat within 500 feet
of any shoreline, Justice Evans questioned the applicability to Fishers Island. She
will ask the Harbor Committee to review and comment. In the mean time a resolution
(28) was placed on the agenda to hold a public hearing on September 3rd.----Justice
Evans asked the Town Board to appropriate $500 for the removal of the remaining
debris at the Fishers Island Metal Dump. She has worked out a plan with
Superintendent of Highways Jacobs whereby the debris could be brought over to
the Cutchogue Landfill in a truck returning from a Fishers Island project for the
Highway Department. Board agreed, and a budget modification for the expenditure
will be on the September 3rd agenda.----Councilman Townsend discussed his
proposal for the creation of a Police Advisory Committee to advise the Town Board
with regard to Police Department matters. The Town Board agreed the committee
should consist of seven members - Chief Conway, . Councilman Moore, and five
individuals from the public. A resolution (29) was placed on the agenda to create
the committee and advertise for members.
11 :45 A.M. - Town Investigator Ed Forrester met with the Town Board in regard
to the application of Bay Watch at Club Wave Restaurant Corp. for a liquor license.
In June, 1996 the Town Board issued an objection to. the issuance of a license to
the State Liquor Authority, due to the fact the restaurant site was also used as a
site for rentals of jet skis and other watercraft. The Board ' was under the
impression the restaurant rented the jet skis and they objected to alcohol being sold
where the rentals take place. However, upon further investigation it was determined
that although the property is owned by one person, the ski rental establishment and
the restaurant establishment are run by two separate lessees. Mr. Forrester
confirmed these facts, stating that the proprietor of the restaurant has another
successful . restaurant operation further up the Island. IThe Town Board
reconsidered their earlier objections. They , said. they . do ,not .feel the proprietor
of the restaurant 'should be 'penalized because of the zoning violations by the owner
of the property. The Board directed the Town Clerk to notify the State Liquor
Authority that they withdraw their objections to the issuance of a liquor license.

discuss (1) the removal of the debris from the Fishers Island Metal Dump; (2) a
motor vehicle accident in Bohemia on July 20th by a landfill driver; and (3) the
scrap tire removal contract. The scrap tire contractor has failed to remove the tires
for quite some time, ' resulting in a stockpile of three to four thousand tires. He

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: At this time we are going to have some special
presentations from the Historic Landmark Designation Committee. Mr.
Benfield?
CLIFF BEN FIELD: Tonight is the second night that the Town Landmark
Commission is helping the distribution of landmarks already committed due to
property owners in the Town of Southold, and also, tonight, we would like
to present one marker to, a new recipient, and that would Eric Haesche,
who is the proprietor of the Vail-Booth. So, we will do that plaque
first. The plaques are bronze plaques, that was designed by the
Commission, and so made to be mounted on a house. They can be mounted
with a sign under. This is an example of the kind of designation that could
be made on a house. This, however, we would prepare at a cost with the
property owner, of course, to put on their house. Otherwise, the plaque is
fine just the way it is. The Commoners choose to have a large one made
like this with the plaque mounted on their sign. Of course, there is no
house to mount the sign on, so they have to mount it on something. The
Landmarks that will be recognized tonight will be the Landmarks of New
Suffolk, of Greenport, and Orient Point, so we'll start with New Suffolk.
The first one is for the Methodist Mission and New Suffolk School. Is Mrs.
McGowan here? This is house is recognizable by its unusually high stone
foundation. The structure, now a private home, built by Benjamin Webb
and intended for religious use. Webb presented the building to the
Methodist Society for use as a mission by itinerant Ministers on the circuit
as a place to hold prayer meetings and Sunday afternoon services. After
New Suffolk School was destroyed by fire, the school district rented the
Mission for ten dollars a year. At this point in time only the basement of
the building was complete. After the 'building was completed classes were
held upstairs. Eventually the New Suffolk School District bought the
building for $350 and held classes there until 1907. The house still has its
original tin roof. The Old Harbor House, I'm sorry the Finkelsteins
couldn't make it this evening. We are now to Greenport, and we would like
to recognize Fanning-Doroski House, Gerald Doroski. I'll start reading
this now to save time. Built about 1810 as an inn at Steamboat Junction,
this large structure was moved two blocks west about 1890. It is an
important relic of Greenport's days as thriving steamship harbor for
passengers as well as fish and cargo. Post and beam construction blends
hand sawn and pit-sawn elements. This is the only known use of the
gambrel roof in Greenport at the time of construction and it shows an
innovative practical adaptation of the local architecture style by the
builder. The gambrel roof allowed for the full use of the attic story as
income producing i'nn rooms for travelers. The old inn shares architectural
elements very common to Greenport such as the use of a square. shape
structure three bays wide with a side entrance. The striking entrance
consists of two pairs of Doric columns, a pair of freestanding Doric
columns flanking the doorway and an engages pair at the extremes of the
doorway. Sidelights separate the two pairs. Take a look and you'll find
similar doorways in and around the heart of Greenport. Probably built by
Joshua Fanning, this house has been carefully restored with a lovely porch
that was added sometime after 1890. The next house we recognize we are
very happy to do. It is the Youngs-Guerlain-Coyle House. It contains
remnants of the first house, one of the first house in Southold, the house
of Colonel John Youngs. Sparky Coyle will receive the plaque. The
Champlain Place structure was once part of the home of Colonel John
Youngs, son of Southold settler Pastor John Youngs. There are at least
versions of its history. One, by former Town Historian Wayland
Jefferson, indicated that it was part of the 1638 Jackson house on the bay
in Greenport, the first English house in New York. It was later trisected,
and one part moved to Champlain Place. But another history seems to
have consensus backing. That version has it that the house was originally
erected 1688 at the head of Sterling Creek, part of the large homestead of
�j AUGUST 20. 1996
Colonel John Youngs. Passed down in the family, it was eventually divided,
literally, by two of the five sons of Deacon Thomas Youngs. A brief history
in the possession of Sparky Coyle, a longtime owner of the house, from
1936 to 1995, cites a letter of August 29, 1827, which included the line,
"Brother Joshua began sawing the house today". Half the house was moved
to 2345 Main (North) Road in Greenport, adjacent to Brecknock Hall. This
half of the building owned as of this date, June 1996, by Frank McIntosh
is also on the Town's register.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Sparky, congratulations.
CLIFF BENFIELD: There is a lot more to go on that. The Guerlain
family also occupied that house for some thirty-six years, and that's why is
is named Youngs-Guerlain-Coyle House. We'll go on to Orient. We come to
one that I'm very happy to present, because he happens to be a very active
member of our Landmark Commission, and that's Ralph and Elinor Williams.
This is for the Terry-Mulford House. We all know the Terry-Mulford
House. It stands on Main Road as you see it from the left. It is a beautiful
place there. The colonial shingled residence with saltbox profile built in
late 17th Century. I hate to go through the whole thing, because Ralph
has a thesis that was done on his property. I'm sure he would be delighted
to read it off to you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Congratulations.
CLIFF BENFIELD: It's very seldom that someone can participate in
designing their own Landmark designation. Our next one is for
Terrywold, Johnathan Terry House. Is Hope Gillispie here? Okay.
Although this house has lost it's original doorway, the east wing dates from
1684, and the main section from 1700. The east wing is believed to be the
second oldest structure in Orient after the Terry-Mulford House. The
earliest Terry on record is Johnathan Terry, Sr. who died in 1732.
Terrywold is currently owned by the tenth generation members of the
Terry family and it has never been out of the . family. Some historians
consider the main section only to have been once been • the Joshua Curtis
house of 1700. Forty acres of property are still being farmed. This is
part of the original Terry Farm House which included 100 acres of land that
was later was divided into thirds for family members. The house once had a
large quilting room . which was moved to the Orville Terry property to the
east and now used as a barn. The attic reveals pegged, hand hewn beams,
wide floor boards, some HEL hinges, and a dado/wide chair rail. There is
a small field stone cellar under dining room at east end, what is considered
to be the oldest part of the house. It's a very old house.
HOPE GILLISPIE: All I can say is, don't anybody buy an old house.
CLIFF BENFIELD: The next Landmark we are recognizing is the Village
House, and owner is the Oysterponds Historical Society. Is Mary Lee
Shanahan here? This building is now the headquarters and principal
museum of the Oysterponds Historical Society. Augustus Griffen,
Orient's early historian, lived here during most of his mature years
operating a tavern 'in this Federal era house. The tavern was a stop on the
Long Island stage line but the building also operated as a school- and a'
store as well. In 1807 the building was enlarged and a second story added
in 1832. Griffen died at age 90 in•• 1856. The house was sold to Samuel
Gilson Vail in 1853 and enlarged upstairs and downstairs in the 1870's
and acquired its present graceful proportions and picturesque ornamentation.
Village House remained in the Vail family until its purchase in 1944 by
the Oysterponds Historical Society as a museum for displaying the
Society's most precious and perishable possessions. While you are here
will you accept the plaque for the Webb House/Constance Booth Inn.
Moved here in 1955 from its second location near Sterling Harbor in
Greenport. The house is much larger and contains more bedrooms with
fireplace than its mid 18th century North Fork which greatly supports the .
belief that this was indeed a inn. Augustus Griffen's journal tells of
Colonel George Washington, enroute between Virginia and Boston, visiting
the tap room of this house when the structure was located in Greenport and
called Constance Booth's Inn. Later the house became known as the Orange
Webb House. Today it is authentically furnished and maintained by the
Oyster Ponds Historical Society. There's one more, Gideon Youngs House on
Village Lane. This is your own house. She is accepting this one for
AUGUST 20. 1996
herself. The dormer and bay windows, which were added in the late
1800's, tend to obscure the fact that this is quite likely the oldest
existing house in the Orient Historic District. Certainly, it is the best
documented originally deeded to Johnathan Youngs by L.T. Gideon Youngs
in 1701, successive deeds trace the ownership through six generations of
Youngs until 1962. Structural evidences of antiquity includes a large
Georgian mantelpiece, hand hewn beams, some boxed, uses of buttermilk
paint. a succession of roofs from wood shingles to tin, to the present
asphalt. In 1996 the building was renovated once again. The Methodist
Church was organized and held meetings in this house prior to the building
of its church in 1836. On the 17th of September we will distribute the
plaques to the people of Southold, and I hope that all the people that have
received them tonight, and the next meeting we have when we do this, will
put them on their houses, and wear them proudly. We're proud of our
landma'rk, and we' know that you have to be, too. I want to remind you,
that one must apply for a Landmark designation. It doesn't just happen.
There are three reasons why houses become landmarks in Southold, one,
because they have special significance, two, they are concerned with a
historic site, or with something happened, or three, their life is
identified with a famous person in history. So, thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Your committee does fine work, so thanks to the
committee, also.
CILFF BENFIELD: I would just like to mention the members, Bob
Kassner, John Stack, and Barbara Jones. She has been our intern from
Columbia University. She has been very helpful, and of course, Ralph
Williams.

Law Requesting the New'" York State Legislature to Approve Legislation
Permitting a Binding Referendum on the Creation of Peconic County in the
Towns of East Hampton, . Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton, and
Southold and Requiring a Four Fifths Vote of the Town Board of the Town
of Southold in Approving any Actions Relating to the Creation of Said
County"; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on this Local Law on the 20th day
of August, 1996, at which time all interested persons were given an
opportunity to be heard thereon; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town.'. Board hereby enacts Local Law No. 15 - 1996,
which reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 15 - 1996
A LOCAL LAW REQUESTING THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE TO
APPROVE LEGISLATION PERMITTING A BINDING REFERENDUM ON THE
CREATION OF PECONIC COUNTY IN THE TOWNS OF EAST HAMPTON,
RIVERHEAD, SHELTER ISLAND, SOU'THAMPTON, AND SOUTHOLD AND
REQUIRING A FOUR FIFTHS VOTE OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN
OF SOUTHOLD IN APPROVING ANY ACTIONS RELATING TO THE
CREATION OF SAID COUNTY.
BE IT ENACTED, by the Town Board of the Town of Southold, as
follows :
Section I . Legislative Findings . It is hereby found by the
Town Board of the Town of Southold that the creation of a
new county in the State of New York from the Towns of East;
Hampton, Riverhead , Shelter Island, Southampton, and
Southold is an issued that has been long discussed among the
residents of these East End Towns . It has- been the ultimate
goal to achieve the passage of state legislation which :could
create the new county, to be known as Peconic County,
subject to the final approval of the people of these East
End 'Towns through a binding re f e r.endunr .
To that end, a F.i.nancial. Feasibility Study was
completed in 1995 to investigate whether the creation of
Peconic County was financially feasible and to provide East
End residents with the necessary information to make an
informed decision on the creation of the new county . Said
Study was funded through the joint efforts of: the State of
New York and the. five East End Towns . The Study was
completed - by an independent and objective municipal.
financial man agement. f.irm under the auspices of the East End
Economic and Environmental 'Task Force .
Said Study concluded that not only was the creation of
Peconic County feasible, .it was fiscally desirable . In
summary, the study found that due to the strong second - home
economy on the East. End, the East End generates 14 . 4% of all
Suffolk general fund tax revenues despite having only 8'* of
the year round population . Further, that: because of this
strong revenue base and the level of services provided by
Suffolk to the East End, each year East End residents pay
about $20 million more in taxes than the cost of providing
county services to the East End . The result is that the
creation of Peconic County would result in a reduction in
the County portion of the real property tax burden of over
50% .
In addition, the study provided for a division that
would be -Pair to the remainder of Suffolk County . While the
tax savings to the East End would be substantial , the loss
of tax revenue to Suffolk would represent only about 1 . 251
of all its total revenue . Further, Suffolk would be
compensated for the East End ' s share of existing count-
AUGUST 20. 1996 7 9
liabilities in an amount equal. to the East End ' s current tax
contribution for such liabilities . Today, Peconic County' s
share of these liabilities would be about $75 million . In
addition, Suffolk would continue to share .in the use of such
assets as ,parks , open spare, the jail. and community college .
Said Feasibility Study has been subject to intense
public scrutiny over the last year, including numerous
public hearings and intergovernmental reviews . The
conclusions of the study have withstood such review.
The Town of Southold now wishes to proceed with the
next step towards the creation of Peconic County. 'Through
this local law the 'Town Board of the 'Town of Southold hereby
requests that the New York State Legislature adopt
legislation establishing a procedure by which Peconic County
may be created, subject to final. approval. of the voters of:
the East End Towns .
Further, this Town Board believes that the creation of
the new county shall require clear and convincing support
from its constituent towns if it is to be successful . To
help insure that such clear and convincing support exists ,
it is also the purpose of this Local law to require that any
action taken by the Town of Southold to advance the creation
of Peconic County must be approved by a four fifths vote of
the Town Board.
It is understood that subjecting actions of the Town
Board advancing the creation of Peconic County to a four_
fifths vote instead. of a simple maJ ority will curtail the
power of the Town Board under. Section 23 ( 2 ) ( f) of the
Municipal Home Rule Law, thereby subjecting this local Law
to a mandatory referendum (See Comptroller ' s Opinion 78-
735 ) . The Town Board wishes to subject this local to a
referendum, not only to permit voters to. decide' on the issue
of requiring a four fifths dote of the Town Board on actions
advancing the creation of Peconic County, but also to allow
voters to express their position on the Town ' s request that
the State Legislature' create Peconic county subject to the
approval of voters of the East End in binding referendum.
Finally, it is understood that Section 63 of the Town
Law requires that actions of the Town to advance the
creation of Peconic County be approved by only a simple
majority of the Town Board . Pursuant to Section 10 ( 1 ) (d) ( 3 )
of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the Town Board expressly
supersedes the application of the Town Law in such
instances .
Section 2 . Request for, State Legislation . The Town Board of
the Town of Southold hereby requests that the New York State
Legislature adopt legislation establishing a procedure under
which the voters of the 'Towns of East Hampton, Riverhead ,
Shelter Island, -Southampton, and Southold, in a binding
referendum, ' can decide the question of creating a new
county, to be known 'as Peconic County, from the Towns of
East Hampton, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton and
Southold .
Section 3 . Four Fifths Vote Required for Town Board Votes
to Advance Peconic County. Actions by the Town Board of the
Town of Southold which advance the creation of Peconic
County shall require a four fifths vote of the Town Board .
For the purposes of this section, "action" shall include any
resolution which authorizes the appropriation of money, the
institution of legal action, directs a Town officer or
employee to take an action, or any other activity designed
to advance. the creation of Peconic County.
Section 4 . Form or Proposition. Pursuant to Section
23 ( 2 ) ( f) of the Municipal Home Rule Law, this local law
curtails the powers of the Town Board requiring a mandatory
referendum. Therefore, the following proposition shall. be
submitted to the electors of the Town of Southold at the
general election to be field November 5 , ' 1996 :
AUGUST 20. 1996
"Shall LOCAL LAW NO. OF 1996, ENTITLED 'A LOCAL LAW
REQUESTING THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE TO APPROVE
LEGISLATION PERMITTING A BINDING REFERENDUM ON THE CREATION OF
PECONIC COUNTY IN THE TOWNS OF EAST HAMPTON, RIVERHEAD,
SHELTER ISLAND, SOUTHAMPTON, AND SOUTHOLD, AND REQUIRING A
FOUR FIFTHS VOTE OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
IN APPROVING ANY ACTIONS RELATING TO THE CREATION OF SAID
COUNTY' be approved?"
Section 5. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part
of this local law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, such judgement shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, section, or part thereof directly involved in the
controversy in which such judgement shall have been rendered..
Section 6. Effective Date. This local law shall take effect after approval
at the general election to be held November 5, 1996 by the affirmative vote
of the qualified electors of the Town of Southold upon the proposition.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: I, would like to make a comment before 1 vote.
There is an expression .in the law that says, hard cases make bad law.
What it means is you want to get somewhere, but there is no really good
rational reasonable approach straight down the road that can get you there.
The fear is that the consequence you can end up with some pretty crazy
results later on down the road. We have got a case involving this process
that we have all been concerned about, and talked about. It is a hard
case. It is a hard case born of the frustration of thirty years, because of .
the way the process works up in Albany. I am not crazy about the law. I
don't think it's a good law as the process goes, but it's born of
frustration, and as frustration I appreciate, and I recognize, because we
can't seem to make one man in Albany allow elected representatives to get a
piece of legislation on the floor for a vote. That rule in Albany makes no
sense to me. That's the rule I feel like saying, go after that and change
it. However, I recognize the frustration. I appreciate the frustration,
and if allowing a vote here can in one way give a small step toward getting
a binding referendum that will mean something to Albany down the road,
then I vote, yes, to this process, recognizing I don't like the procedure, I
don't like the law, but if we can get a message to Albany, then we'll do
it. I vote, yes.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I would just like to say I am looking forward to
seeing a tremendous amount of information being brought to the people of
the Town of Southold any way you can from small groups to large groups,
and newspapers, because the less the people are informed I do not think
you are going to get the advisory referendum answer that you want to get.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ' I would like to comment also. Thirty years is
a long time to wait for an issue to come to the people. Yes, it is, a
difficult question, and it is :(tape change)
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN:. I would like to, just once again, say to
Supervisor Sherman', and Fred, give the public all the information you
possible can, and I will vote, yes, to make it unanimous.
34.- Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman' Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie,
Supervisor Cochran.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
AUGUST 20. 1996
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As the close of our meetings I usually ask for
reports from the Town Board. I think I will forego that tonight, because it
has been a long day. If there is anyone that would like to address the
Town Board on any other topic now is the time for your input. Is there
anything else, any other concerns, that you would like to share with the
Town Board we certainly are here to hear them. (No response.) If not,
will ask for a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilwoman Hussie, seconded by Justice Evans, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at
9:00 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans,
