Up in Rhode Island, up in Maine, there were several blooms in that area, and they show a map of today, and you have blooms, Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Golf of Mexico, along the entire west coast. Now, along the entire east coast, Alaska, Japan, .there is an alarming increase to these blooms throughout the world, and most of it is along the shore where you have nooks, and crannies, and bays going in, and so forth. There was some interesting theories in relation to the groundwater entering the bays in the area, and there were two different research teams, that we are going to be looking more at this, but I felt they had obtained a great deal of information that they shared with us, and I think' it is helping to put these different research teams in a direction of investigation that hadn't been done before. It was very interesting and I am going to stop at this point. It is five o'clock. We have to go into a hearing. The Town Board will be sharing other things with you at the end of the scheduled meeting. May I have a motion to recess? Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was RESOLVED that a recess be called at this time, 5:00 P.M. , for the purpose of holding a public hearing. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Reconvened at 5:11 P.M. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is it the Board's pleasure that we act on #42. We will hold 43, and give the Code Committee the opportunity to examine these comments that have been made. May I have a motion on #42? 42.- Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Justice Evans, WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Southold wishes to purchase the development rights in the agricultural lands of Lois Woodhull; and WHEREAS, the Town Board held a public hearing with respect to said acquisition- on the 15th day of April, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of the Southold Town Code; and WHEREAS, the Town Board deems it in the public interest that the Town of - Southold acquire the development rights in the agricultural lands set forth in the proposed acquisition between the Town and Lois Woodhull; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby elects to purchase the development rights in the aforesaid agricultural lands owned by Lois Woodhull, comprising 28 acres minus setoff for house and wooded lot, at a sale price of $6,500.00 per acre; said property located at 2485 Elijah's Lane, Mattituck, Tax Map #1000-108-03-6. 1; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED that the Supervisor be and hereby is authorized and directs to execute any and all required documents for the acquisition of the said development rights. 42.- Vote of the Town Board: - Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: . Number 43 and 44, we will give back to the Code Committee. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: We can discuss this at the next Town Board meeting. They are not that significant, that we can't straighten it out. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We will put it on the next Board meeting agenda. That is .the end of our proposed resolutions. At this point we will take comments from the audience. If there is anything anyone would like to' share with us in relation to Town business, we would be very happy to take it now. Are there any comments? (No response.) If not, I will ask for Board reports, and I will start with Councilman Townsend on my left. Joe, do you have anything to report? 484 APRI L 15, 1997 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Not too much. I'm interested to see that we finally go the LI and LIO use changes on the hearing. I am surprised there is not more interest on this, because these can substantially effect the way the Town is developed. There is a fair amount of property zoned in those uses, and up until this time there has really not been that much . opportunity to use it for what our industry is, which is recreation in general, and that's our biggest and fastest growing industry, I would guess, and I think we provided an opportunity for that. So, I am happy to see that you have gotten this far. I would like to have seen people here that own the property, and comment on it. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: We were able to finally get an appointment with one of the representatives of the DEC, and Jim McMahon, and I, and a representative from the the DEC went out to look at two parcels in Orient right on Narrow River Road. One has access to Hallock's Bay in which we own a fifty foot right-of-way, and then the DEC owns property on both sides. We wanted to work out something so that we can make a nice path if they don't destroy the little dune area that is there, and perhaps get some parking, so that it is a blue stone, and make it an accommodation for access to Hallock's, and yet by permit only for the Town, and also, for . the DEC, you have to .obtain a permit for them, as access permit, to go over their property, at least to clean it up, and make it more attractive, because the kayakers really do like that area. We, also, went down to the other end of Narrow River Road on Orient Harbor, where again we own a piece of property that is parking by permit only, and right next door to it is a piece of property that is owned by the DEC. What happens is people don't part in our parking lot, but they go over and park in the DEC parking lot, and it does look pretty shabby, so, again, we are looking at ways of improving the looks of this place to make it more user friendly, and yet- you still will need a permit to do this. Also, I have been working with the Department of State to get some FEMA Funds for properties east of Kenny's Beach. There are about four properties east of Kenny's Beach that really are on the brink of disaster if we have another nor'easter, and they are right on the beach. Working with the people from the Department -of State to see if there were any FEMA Funds available for these people .to to move their properties back, we, have received word from the Department .of State, that there are monies available, that they could receive a 750 grant of the cost of moving their houses back. The property owners, themselves, will have to pay 250, but the Town will help these people with the application. to FEMA to see if it could be approved, so know the people east of Kenny's Beach have asked for this, and I'm very pleased', because the Department of State has worked very hard on this to bring .this to these people. Thank you, Joan. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Councilman Moore? COUNCILMAN MOORE: Very briefly, the Code Committee has been busy and we are going to meet again next week to discuss two items, which we won't even contemplate getting done that night. One is assisting the Planning Board in coming up with guidelines on Site Plan waivers from the Planning Board, deciding whether or not an existing business has to go through a full Site Plan process, or if there is a modified, or reduced Site Plan process, or a waiver from the requirements. We are going to look into that, and formalize that process, so that there is some serious guidelines put in place they can operate under. The second one we are going to look at for a little bit of time is the Merger Law. There continue to be issues, and problems that pop up with it, now that it has been on the books for a year and a half, or so. The last thing, we had a resolution on tonight that set a public hearing on a telecommunication tower moratorium. In spite of, or not withstanding, that public hearing, which is set for May 13th, the Code Committee is going to get right to work starting next week on the telecommunication tower issue, and start hashing that out. So, that is going to be a big piece next Wednesday evening. So, that is it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, sir. Judge Evans? APRI L 15, 1997 JUSTICE EVANS: I am just pleased that the Suffolk County Health Department, and the' Suffolk County Planning Board, and the Town Planning Board, and people from Fishers Island, and the Town Board has all worked together, and we have coming for public hearing a proposed amendment to Article IV, the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, which are watershed protection standards for Fishers Island. I am happy to see that go through, and hope some day you will have something similar for the rest of the town. It's nice to see that come to fruition, because people have been working on it for a long time. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: And you are getting your tennis court fixed? JUSTICE EVANS: Yes, we are: Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Councilwoman Hussie7 COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I would like to just expand a bit on resolution #40, ' which says, that the Town is buying a bag vending machine. Those of you who have been up to the Landfill, the Collection Center, know that we have presently a bag vending machine, but it is one that we have been renting, a.nd rather than continue to rent, we are going to buy. The other thing is, my interest in electricity, and the lowering of the price thereof, . have been attending many, many meeting of LIPA, and other organizations concerned with the joining of LILCO and LIPA. Right now the way things stand, LIPA is trying to go into negotiation to take over the transmission and delivery section of the LILCO organization. They would continue to do the billing and also, have the generation part of it. There have been lots of articles that talk about tempting refunds, that we are going to get. The Governor has announced that there is going to be a 20% rate reduction over five years,• which when you get down to it then it' only comes down to about 40, 5% a year. Little is mentioned about the fund, that LIPA intends to set up with $32,000,000. It is going to a bond, which you know who will pay for, in order that they will be able to do good works, and do environmental stuff. Never do they mention the $5,000,000,000 Shoreham debt, that is still out there. I don't sound very hopeful about this whole thing, and I really haven't made up my mind completely, but I do warn everybody, and urge you to listen to, and read everything that you can possibly find out about this. There is a desire on the part of LILCO to be able to get an agreement with LIPA by June 2nd, in order that LILCO, and this is very appropriate for today, be exempted from $2,000,000,000 worth of capital gains on the Shoreham operation. So, just keep your eyes open., and your ears, and keep looking and reading about that whole deal that is going on. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I agree with Alice. I attended the Ten Towns Supervisors Meeting, maybe a week and a half ago, and all of the ten towns, that were in attendance do have a concern, and we are all watching it very carefully, so your advise is well taken. I would like to report to you some of the things that have kept me busy in addition to answering phone calls, and letters, and having people come in for interviews, and so forth. I did. attend the Heart Association Ball, and served on the honorary committee, :and that. was honoring Thomas Duell, he was President of Peconic Corporation Health, which is • the three hospitals, Doctor Dan Damianos, who is not only a doctor but owns Pindar, and they were honored that night. It was a lovely affair. On the eighth, I did attend the Eastern Long Island Round Table. They held an Economic Conference in Riverhead. In started .first thing in the morning, and went most of the morning, in fact, up until lunch. 1 was interested in going, because we will be holding a Economic Conference here in Southold for our businesses to review the results of the surveys we have done, and show them support services, that come from both County, State, and Federal, and this will be held on May 6th. So, I did have some good input. I grabbed some good people , and 1 , think that will help us also. Also, I attended a fashion show in Mattituck, the P.T.A. It was a lot of fun, because not only did they have females, but they also had males parading around, and strutting, and doing their stuff in their fancy new clothes. It was kind of fun. We had a Safety Committee this week, and John Cushman, our Finance• Director, heads that committee, and we are looking as a Town Board to find as many ways as we can to insure the safety of .our employees throughout our different facilities. We will be doing 486 APRI L 15., 1997 walk-throughs, and some other things, just to improve, or correct any situations that are now presently there, so that. we can bring as much safety as possible to our employers. We, also, had a Labor Management Committee meeting with the Union. This is the Committee of myself, and Councilman Moore, and Ray Jacobs, Superintendent of Highways, and the Union also has representatives, and we try to discuss different points and issues before they become problems, so we review things, and bring them to the Board, and it works .quite well. It helps to cut down on some of the problems. As I mentioned earlier, I went to the Brown Tide meeting in Westhampton. I found it very interesting, knowing different things about . the Brown Tide from the time it began, and bits and pieces here. It was kind of good to sit and hear what had be accomplished by this group up to this point. So many times groups put together, and they don't always produce, but I thought this was very successful, and I thought that they had produced. What they did was now set themselves in a direction to begin to investigate other things, and a lot of what they felt was true is true. I don't know how extensive the article in The Suffolk Times will be, but hopefully, Tim picked up the good facts, because I certainly will keep up on this. I felt I gained a great deal from it, and it helps us keep an eye on the problem. I attended the Southold Promotion Committee, Shipwreck Soiree, which they had on the weekend, and they did a fantastic job in decorating, and costumes, so it was another fun evening. I would like to thank them for bringing this kind of affair to the public. Hopefully they will do some more of this same type of fund raising, because they are a worthwhile group. They .do promote the tourism, and what we have to offer on the North Fork. We call it the North Fork because membership does extend to Jamesport and Aqueboque, which I think is very important, because that is our buffer to all the growth that is happening to the west. Another thing I attended, the wet-down. For those of you that are not firematic families, a wetdown is when a fire department buys a new truck, and all. the other departments from the area come with the sirens, and the hoses, and they wet down the new truck. So, there was a wetdown in East Marion over the weekend, and they, were very pleased that the community of East Marion did support them in purchasing the trucks: They have a new brush truck, I think, which is rehab, and they have a new heavy duty rescue truck, which has- just about everything on it, that you need in case of an unfortunate bad accident, where they have to cut people out of a car, and those kind of things. They now have all this equipment, and it certainly benefits all of us, because most departments here on the North Fork if one department has some of the equipment, and another one doesn't, they do a common sharing back and forth, and be it during a fire, an emergency, they do have a, what is the term used for it, Bill? Mutual aid, they have mutual aid, so this is good. That is about all I have. It's been a busy two weeks. The Board had a busy day all day today. We started at nine, and finished up just before 4:30. That took care of a lot of Town business. We ,thank you for joining us. Please, join us again, and may I have a motion to adjourn? Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilman Townsend, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 5:27 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Judith T.
