Romanelli, Councilman Brian C. Murphy,- Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney Gregory Yakaboski. Absent: Councilwoman Alice J. Hussie, Justice Louisa P. Evans. 9:00 A.M. Appointment - Joseph Baler, Suffolk County Health Department. Supervisor Cochran explained to him that the reason they invited him here today is to work out a problem the town is having with trying to put up � a new scalehouse at the landfill. We would like to use the existing water supply for the bathroom in the new scalehouse. Mr. Baler said that he will look into expanding the existing water supply and asked if the Town has made an application yet. Jim McMahon replied that an application has been submitted. Mr. Baler said that he should be able to get back to the Town tomorrow. Councilwoman Hussie said that she was not so sure that this question was ever put in writing about using the existing water supply. Supervisor Cochran advised that the application will be checked and if necessary, it will be amended. 9:13 A.M. - The Board reviewed IV. For Discussion Items as follows: IV. 1. Signs on properties ' which are the subject of public hearings. Mr. Bernard Heinisch of Southold has asked that a larger size sign 24" x 36" in plastic be erected on properties that are the subject of a scheduled public hearing and that notification to property owners be extended to those in a 500' to 600' radius. Councilman Moore suggested that this be done for change of zone applications and applications on business property, but not for variances for accessory buildings, reduced setback or side yards on residential property-. The Board discussed where the 500' will start, perhaps from the center of the property. Councilman Moore will check into this with other towns to see what they do. Councilman Romanelli will do some research on the signs as to what is available with waterproof materials, cost, etc. IV. 2. Fishing Permits for non-residents were , discussed. Councilman Murphy asked if sales on "Daily Beach Parking Permits" have increased now that the water recreation facilities are selling them, he remarked that Southold Fishing Station has sold almost a whole book of 50 permits already. The sales are up on these permits and also on the non-resident seasonal permits. 9:30 A.M. - James Bunchuck, Solid Waste Coordinator advised the Board of the need for an off-road dump truck. The one they have is a 1968 and recently lost its brakes and needs major motor work. The Board requested that he get firm prices and get back to the Board at the next meeting. Mr. Bunchuck also apprised of the need for the rental of a bulldozer for the land capping. This expense should be able to come out of the bond. The Highway Department trucks or machinery cannot be used because it will not do the same good job. Prices will be checked out and brought back to the next . meeting. Mr. Bunchuck advised the Board of the following personnel issues: Their mechanic is out on disability, there is a need to hire a second full-time mechanic at this time. Seasonal laborers and a scale operator is needed for the summer months. Jim asked about getting back the landfill worker that they transferred to the Scavenger Waste facility. He said that it is imperative that they must hire someone seasonal to get through the summer months. Supervisor advised that he must sit down with the Comptroller and find the money for this position first. Mr. Bunchuck advised of a family medical leave request from Martin Tarpey to use sick time to be with his ailing father. Supervisor Cochran will check with Rich Zuckerman on this. Mr. Bunchuck also brought to the Board's attention a problem they are having with the sorting of sheetrock and insulation from C & D Waste. The DEC is allowing the town to accumulate C&D waste to be used in the 406 JULY 7, 1998 landfill capping as long as it is free of sheetrock and insulation.They used to have an attendant stationed near the C & D to help contractors sort these materials out, however, due to manpower shortages this is no longer possible. He suggested lowering the tipping fee on these two materials to encourage the users to sort it out themselves. The Board will take it under advisement. Mr. Bunchuck questioned the number of vacation days that can be accumulated. Supervisor Cochran answered that the policy has always been that you may carry over 12 vacation days into the next year. Anything over that you either use them or lose them. 10:20 A.M. - The Board recessed for a short break. 10:26 A.M. - Richard Ryan, Chairman, Land Preservation Committee, Melissa Spiro, Planner, Valerie Scopaz, Senior Planner, Tim Caufield, Peconic Land Trust and John Sepenoski, Data Processing Department met with the Board to coordinate their efforts on the 2% Community Preservation Fund and land transfer tax. Phase I has bee completed, the compiling of the draft map of the parcels of property. Mr. Ryan, Ms. Spiro, and Councilman Murphy will visit Fishers Island on July 25 to map. out their properties. The draft text must be prepared by August 4th. Then letters notifying approximately 565 property owners of the public hearing will have to be sent out. Mr. Ryan suggested that this letter state that this program is only a supplement to the town's Land Preservation Committee. Public hearings will be set for August 18th and on Fishers Island at the Annual August .12th meeting. The Community Preservation Plan with the inventory listing must be adopted by September 1st, after this point no changes can be made for three years. These time frames are crucial in completing in order to get the question on the ballot for the November election. A listing of properties has not yet been received from the Village of Creenport. This listing is needed in order to get them included in the program. They will be reminded that we need this information as soon as possible. Supervisor Cochran asked the newspaper reporters to check with their editors and try to give this program as much coverage as possible. 10:50 ' A.M. - The Board resumed reviewing IV.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: This I had placed in the Capital Budget last year, and we are finally to the point where we can now move ahead, and do the purchase. You are going to have a problem, and I thought of that after I put this on. So, I am going to' hold it, because as I am talking. . COUNCILMAN MOORE: I will recuse myself on this vote, and that would not give us' sufficient votes to pass this resolution today. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: So we will hold it for two weeks. I realize that you are not involved. So, we will hold that, but that will be coming back in two weeks when Alice and Louisa will be here to support the resolution. We have two hearings scheduled today, which are scheduled for 5:00 o'clock. We have a few minutes before the scheduled hearings. Perhaps we can share a couple of things with you as far as today's business is concerned. At our last Board meeting we did have Bernie Heinisch with several recommendations in the open part of the meeting in relation to enlarging the size of the signs that are erected on properties that are subject of a scheduled public hearing, and the Board voted this morning that, yes, we would obtain larger signs, and John Romanelli graciously offered to do the footwork on it, so we should have something to look at as a Board at the next Board meeting, and as far as the notification of property owners to be extended to a 500 to 600 foot radius. We are sending that to the Code Committee, because we see some problems with that, so they will be discussing it, and if you check with the office or watch the paper; and you see the meeting scheduled, you know, check the agenda and, please, feel free to come in, and listen to what is going on. Also, we had a request from Mr. Helinski in relation to fishing permits. The Board also discussed this this morning, and we put it on hold until John Romanel I i and I have a chance to meet with some of the fishermen, so we will be going in that direction also. I could call on some Board reports at this time. Brian, do you have anything to report? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: At this time, as you see by the one resolution we passed authorizing part of the Sound Shore study from Duck Pond Point to Hortons Point. We have another contract on that. Some of the reports are coming back on that now, and hopefully sometime by the end of September the first part of October all the reports will in, and we will be able to start looking at them to see what direction we may have to take on that. Land Preservation, today, at the Town Board a preliminary map was shown to us from the Planning Department, Land Preservation Committee for the 2% plan identifying properties that will be identified in the plan as possible acquisitions. When I say, possible, this is completely voluntary. There will be another hearing on the 14th of July. It is open, of course, to come in and look at the plan, and look at what they wish to submit. So that will be done on the 14th, so anyone who wishes to come in, and take a look at that plan at that time it will be here that day. That is abut it. ' 414 JULY 7, 1998 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Did you go to Fishers Island? Brian and I went over to Fishers Island on Sunday for the celebration of 100 years of Fort Worth over there, and I appreciate Louisa more than I did, because to get on the boat here, and go across to New London, and wait for the boat to go to Fishers Island, and then return the same way. It was a long, long day, but it was a nice day. We enjoyed our visit over there, and they are looking forward to the Town Board coming over on the 12th of August, and they have some things for our agenda. John? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: It seems like every time I speak I have to speak about the Scavenger Waste Plant. That's the job .I have. Some of you, if you have been to Creenport, you might have noticed an aroma coming from the Scavenger Waste Plant over the past couple days. We had a little problem with the odor control system over there. We are slowly, diligently getting that system back in order to keep the unpleasant odor down, keep the Village of Creenport smelling a lot nicer than it has for the past week. Some people blame it on the wind, but unfortunately we can't blame it on the wind. There was problem with one of the pumps over there that was causing the odor, so that is underway. Then, as you saw in the resolution, we were able to lower the cost of hauling the material out of the Scavenger Waste Plant, which I believe was welcomed by many of the haulers, and the residents of the town will benefit by the small savings from that end. Jean, I wish I had something else to say to fill up the next five minutes. Shall we put the pressure on Bill on that one? COUNCILMAN MOORE: I going to become shorter with words. The Code Committee had what we hoped would be a wrap up meeting last week on the issue which we have worked on for several months, that is greenhouses, and some suggestions to the Town Board, and we distributed to the Board today, you haven't had a chance to read it, a memo of a variety of subjects or issues regarding greenhouses. You read about them, and we will talk about at the next Town Board meeting, so they are in your boxes for consideration. I wish I could think of what the other thing was that I was just going to tell you about. Pay attention for more notice on the Land Preservation stuff, as far as the 20 rule goes. There are a variety of opportunities to participate and put your interest in. We try to sit there and identify every possible parcel. This is truly the wish list for a catalog. If you don't know, the parcel is not listed on that list it can not even be considered for three years until the list can be amended, so we hope to air on the over-inclusion, rather than under-inclusion. People from Orient were great last week. They came out and I think the Land Preservation Committee was very happy to report that every single parcel the folks in Orient had been identified as being interesting, and worthy of consideration for the program. It had already been incorporated into the computer maps, so that was good. But, they started with a ten acre criteria, and they do want to get smaller parcels to be considered that are significant. We are waiting to hear from the Village of Creenport, because the historic sites are worthy of consideration, so if there are other parcels that should be thought about make your interest known to the town. We can get it incorporated into the list. I still haven't thought of the other thing, so I apologize about that. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: There will be public hearing on the 20 land acquisition? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes. I can share a couple of things with you. I did attend an East End Supervisor and Mayor's meeting with our attorneys to discuss the lawsuit in relation to LIPA, that we are intervening in, and Riverhead has voted to intervene. It was interesting sharing the different information between attorneys. I would like to congratulate ours. Greg, you were on top of the information that had to be shared, and we will be calling everyone back together again, and there is still information we are trying to seek so we can take the right direction. Also at the East End Mayors and Supervisors meeting, our normal meeting, that we meet every six weeks, we had Legislator Caracciolo come and speak in relation to Millstone and his concerns, and the group voted to send out a resolution in support of expressing our concerns in relation to Millstone to the many agencies, and political figures higher than town level. I attended the Golden Eagle Award, which was presented to Doctor Dan Damianos from Pindar up in Stony Brook on 'Friday the 26th. I would once again like to congratulate Dan on behalf of the Town Board. It was quite an honor. It JULY 7, 1998 415 was held at the Windham, Windwatch, or whatever it is up there in Old Colony Hill, and there were between 300 and 400 people, and it was served as a fund raiser for the Stony 'Brook people, but also the key thing was to honor Dan. It was nicely done. As I said earlier the amateur radio people did have their field day up at Horton's Point last Saturday the 27th, and it was most successful. I had a tour of Fort Cutchogue the other 'day. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of work that the volunteer group has done to date. They cleaned up a great deal, the site, the old buildings. The house that is going to be saved as best it can could serve as a office for a caretaker, or whatever. They are saving as much as they can of the old buildings, not to -reconstruct, but to be used as walls, and different things within any new structures that might be erected. They will be coming into our next meeting. I have set a date for the Town Board to go and do the same tour, because I think it is important that we see how things are moving along, and they will be presented their budget also, so it is kind of nice to know that the money is being used in a good way, wisely. I had the pleasure of marching in the New Suffolk parade on Saturday morning. It was typical Americana, red, white and blue between the bicycles, and the carriages, and the wagons, and the lawn riding tractors all decorated in red, white, and blue. It was a nice event to take part in. It is now five o'clock, so I shall ask for a motion to adjourn for a public hearing. Moved by Councilman Murphy, seconded by Councilman Romanelli, 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 Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Meeting reconvened at 5:10 P.M. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We can pass #26. The other two we will hold because we haven't had the results of SEQRA yet. Twenty-six is a go. 26.-Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Councilman Murphy, WHEREAS, there was presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, on the 9th day of June, 1998, a Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in Relation to Electing a Retirement Incentive as Authorized by Chapter 47, Laws of 1998", and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on this Local Law on the 7th day of July, 1998,, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard thereon, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that the 'town Board of the Town of Southold hereby enacts the following Local Law: LOCAL LAW NO. 11 - 1998 A Local Law in Relation to Electing a Retirement Incentive as Authorized by Chapter 47, Laws of 1998 BE IT ENACTED, , by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: 1 .

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. 416 JULY 7, 1998 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: There being nothing else on this side I will ask if there is anyone that is with us today that would like to address the Town Board on any topic considered Town Board business. I will take the gentleman in the back. He had his hand up first. EVERETT HOLLAND: First of all, my name is Everett Holland. I live in the Village of Creenport, and I am here on an issue that is rather sensitive for this Board. It is called policing. We have a problem in Creenport with noise, major noise. We recently had a problem with a graduation party on South Street where the party was given. On Second all the way down to Broad Street people in their house on Broad Street and Second thought their radios were on. That is how loud it was. This is an ongoing problem. Before when we had our police department before it was disbanded, we had a noise ordinance. When we call the police department we are informed that there is no.such ordinance in the Town of Southold, but it is not necessary when one goes to a neighbor and complains about a noise problem in the rest of the town, they comply graciously and turn their radio or their music down, but that is not the case in Creenport. We do have a problem, and it is an ongoing problem. It is not just this one time. I think it is time that since that you are now policing us, much to your chagrin, that you think about possibly working up some kind of noise ordinance for the town. I can not believe that there is not a problem in other places. There has to be some other kind of problem, but it is a problem with us. We are a part of you. You do have to believe this, and we need your help in getting a definition as to what kind is acceptable. I am not asking for total quiet. I am not asking for a party to cease existing, but I am asking to able. . l live at the other block at the end of the block. I live on the corner of Center and Second one block from this party. I closed all my windows in my house, and then when I called the police department I had to crawl into a closet to call, and scream on the phone to the lady on the phone, who still could not understand me on the phone. That is how noisy it was. I was told that there was nothing that could be done. When I called the second time I was patronized by the police department, and I lost my temper, I must say, and I said, which is sort of stupid, I guess I have to go out and buy an Uzi and shoot somebody in order to get your attention to get something accomplished. There is something called preventative medicine, and there should be something called preventative policing. That is what I was trying to explain. When they arrived at my door very quickly after this, I was told that if I . called and harassed the police department one more time, that I would be picked up and booked, and there would be a sizable fine to get out, but the noise was nothing they could do about. I personally went down and asked, and a friend of mine went down and asked. We had eight people for dinner that night. It was impossible to have a conversation in our house. Something has got to be done, and I beg you to, please, work with us. I will do anything I can to accommodate, and to help you work out a situation. I would head a committee to do it, whatever. But we need to somehow create some kind of noise ordinance for all of us, and specifically me. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Mr. Holland, we appreciate you coming in. You have made some serious comments in relation to the police department. Have you met with Chief Conway as yet? EVERETT HOLLAND: No, I haven't. I haven't talked to them, because they don't have any rules and regulations to do anything. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: They can enforce through the V and T, State Penal Law they can enforce this kind of a problem. There is something that can be done. Yes. EVERETT HOLLAND: I know that there were fifteen phone calls about this one particular party it was so bad. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think that the Board would like to give it to Chief Conway, and he will investigate it, and then we will certainly look at any of the allegations, and perhaps if you haven't sat down with Chief Conway yet that would be a first step also, and he could explain to you that, yes, it can be enforced, and how to go about it. L,' JUhY 7, 1998 417 EVERETT HOLLAND: Quite a few of us in the neighborhood were informed that there is absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever that can be done. That is another problem. Maybe the police need to be informed what kind of ordinance there are pertaining to noises, and how to deal with them. Maybe you didn't have this problem before that you have ever had to deal with it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: No, we have had complaints before about noise, and have been able to deal with it. EVERETT HOLLAND: This isn't the first time I have gotten the same answer from the police department. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think it is very wise for us to sit down with the Chief and, you know, you explain your position, and the incident, and he always investigates when there is a complaint against the department in any manner, and we will take it from there. Thank you, Mr. Holland. Would you please call my office tomorrow, and give us a phone number, and so forth, so we can work this out? EVERETT HOLLAND: Sure. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You are welcome. Thank you. Thor? THOR HANSON: I .am Thor Hanson. I am President of Southold Citizens for Safe Roads, although that is not the subject we are here about. I couldn't help listening to you, Councilman Moore, when you were talking about the parcels to be designated. I think one of the ones that some Orient people did color in was the two acres bought, that the Cross Sound Ferry is asking to be rezoned for parking. COUNCILMAN MOORE: That's right. I forgot about that. That's right. THOR HANSON: Rezoned for parking, we did get that one colored. The reason I am here, however, is that there is an article in last week's Traveler-Watchman, Town Planning frustrates business. It causes me and others, that we talked to each other, it causes us concern in that it talks about the possibility, or the desire to take site plan approval back to the Building Department. In fact, at least according to the article, it says one Town Councilman believes that the power to approve such plan should be removed from the Planning Board all together. Now, the reason that troubles some of us is that, my understanding anyway, is that the Building Department does not use public notice, nor old public hearing, on these kinds of issues, and it seems very troubling that site plan approval with them could be done behind closed doors without the chance for the public to get involved. That would be the impression you get anyway. The other point of this, though, if you are going to want to remove the Planning Department completely, it seems to me that the Planning Department members are the only planning professionals you have got in Town Hall. They are there, and people could argue about how profession and good they are, but they are the ones we have got, and I don't know of any, that the Building Department has. That worries me,. but it would seem to me if the Town Board really is concerned about having thorough planning, and expediting the process, which the article talks about, they probably should be thinking about ways to improve the planning staff. I do think it is probably underfunded, and undermanned. Maybe that is the way it should be done rather than take them out of it completely, and remove them from public review. I just would like to get a comment or two on that. It said only one member, and I hope it is a very small minority that are thinking that way. At any rate, that is why .I am here. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The person was me. Maybe the article wasn't written properly. What I said in the article, was that, I still feel this way, that on an addition or an alteration to existing commercial building has no right to be in the Planning Board. A new sub-division, a vacant land with a new building deserved to be in the Planning Department. We have a great planning staff. They do a lot of hard work in there, but, on existing commercial buildings that meets all their setback requirements from property lines, and things like that, has no need to be hung up in the Planning Department. Let's look at the broad picture. There are a lot more residential zones, than there are commercial zones. There are a lot of homes 418 JULY 7, 1998 on the Main Road. I am going to take this further. I tell you I haven't even gotten into this too much with most of the Board yet, so you know, if an addition or alteration to a commercial building needs a full site plan review, then why does not a home on the Main Road, that could be passed every single day by the majority of the people in this town, who want to put a 30 by 30 family room on his house not need site plan review, not need Health Department approval? If someone is putting a 30 by 30 room on their house, could they not be increasing the intensity of the use of their home? Could they not have their grandchildren moving in with them? If it is good for a business who is only operating between eight and five, and is basically closed after hours, and probably uses less septic and less water than the average residential home. Why should this commercial piece of property be subject to these rules and regulations, when a residential piece of property will actually use more water, discharge more septic, and could feasibly increase use of their piece of property? If you are on the Main Road, and -you put an addition on your house, now you have to back out to the Main Road to get out of your driveway, should that go to into site plan review? Because if the public feels that every residential piece of property should go to site plan review, than let's do all the commercial property, too. My problem is, let's don't segregate additions and alterations to a commercial building, because you think something is going to happen. THOR HANSEN: I do think with commercial it may well be they want to change the use completely. I mean, we had one here before, that had been a restaurant. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: No, we are not taking extreme, because the article which when I was quoted by the paper, was quoted as. .unfortunately it wasn't spelled out in this term, but since we are all here it is a public matter. It was spelled that in the terms of an alteration or an addition to a commercial building, a pre-existing commercial building should not need a site plan review. It should go to the Building Department for all the proper building structures, meet their setbacks. If you have got to go to the ZBA, well, you have got to go .to the ZBA. I am not saying, cut that out. I am just saying, we should not have to go through a full site plan review for an addition for two more offices. THOR HANSEN: You are not saying that the Planning Board should be removed completely. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I still firmly believe that on a major subdivision, the Planning Board should be there. On a new piece of land, where a new building is going to be built, that has no structures on it, and someone bought five acres, and they want to build a structure, should go to the Planning Board for the full process, the SEQRA, the site plan, the whole bit. My whole argument on all is renovation to an existing commercial buildings should not need the full process, should not have to be :lung up in the Planning Department for four months, and then go to the Building Department, and then go to site plan review. THOR HANSON: I understand that. I don't think that they can determine by the one process. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Number one, this issue has not come before the Town Board for discussion yet in any way, shape, manner or form. This has not been discussed. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: According the paper that was my quote. The Board has not had the opportunity. THOR HANSON: That is why I said, I hope it is a minority. COUNCILMAN MOORE: In fact, the Planning Board already looked at their reports for the month. When you look at their reports they are looking at a way to do site plan waiver. When those type of concerns as John has JULY 7, 1998 419 raised, or any issue, a small addition or improvement to a property that has no impact or bearing on parking, drainage, any of the legitimate concerns that are involved in site plan procedure., they say, that's not a problem. We can sign off on that. If they can identify a parking concern, or a drainage concern, or runoff concern, then, yes, we need further site plan, before we do the addition. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Town Board? JOE GOLD: I just wanted to add a couple of clauses to what Thor has said. It has been said, that those who don't understand history are bound to repeat it. The exact recommendations was made by the Harris administration six years ago, and it caused an uproar in the town, because the people in town saw it as an attempt to strip the authority and the power from the Planning Board, and give it to the Building Department. The same reason that Thor just said. The Planning Board operates autonomously. The Building doesn't. It is a case by case basis dealing with the owner and the Building Department. COUNCILMAN MOORE: The Building Department is supposed to be doing ministerial work, black and white. Anybody can come in, meet the Code, and say, sure, you are entitled to a building permit. Period. Where you and I or anybody else in this room hopefully wouldn't disagree over the issuance of the permit. Your house for example, you meet setbacks, you meet this, you meet that. 1 don't think you should overstate what John's position is. THGR HANSON: The thing that hit me when I read that article, I said to myself, I remember this before. COUNCILMAN MOORE: It hasn't been presented to the Board. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Would anyone else like to address the Board? BERNARD HEINSCH: Bernard Heinsch. I live on County Road 48. 1 was wondering if the Town Board would consider putting time limits on Board of Zoning Appeals granting any variance. As it is now 1 understand that any variance that is granted rides with the property, but there is no time limit affixed to when the applicant must file a building permit and proceed. Am I- correct? TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: That's correct. BERNARD HEINSCH: At the present time an applicant can be put in, and last year, two year, that property could be sold, and that particular variance runs with the property. Why not try to affix, I think it would make more sense, to affix a time limit approximately six months with a three month extension, that the party then must proceed with a particular variance grant, such as an addition to a house, a fence, or swimming pool, and so on, that he has a time limit to proceed. The way it is now there is no time limit. There is absolutely no time limit. Give that person a time limit. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Why? I am curious as to,why. BERNARD HEINSCH: A perfect example is Jim Cray. He has the approval from the Board of Zoning and Appeals to build on 30% of his property, to build rental units and so on. At the present time if all movement were dropped with the Planning Board, just forget about, sell the property, and that permit is going to run just the way it is, and run indefinitely. Why not affix a time limit, that if you don't proceed then he loses that permit, and if he wants to again, a year later reapply? I don't think the Town would be out of line to say, you have a. time limit, such as when you have a building permit. You have a time limit on that building permit. Why not have the same thing?. It doesn't make sense in my mind to just let it run forever, and nothing gets done, in ten years someone says, hey, let's go with it. In the meantime you people can be gone, half the town people could be gone, and there is new people say, how, how is this done? 420 JULY 7, 1998 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Okay, Bernie, we will take it under advisement. We will discuss it. Thank you. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.) COUNCILMAN MOORE: This weekend is the arrival of the ships in Creenport, and back in '95 when the Simon Bolivar arrived I had the pleasure of being out on Claudio's gas dock in a crowd of people, and you look around, and take in a big breath, grown men were wiping tears from their eyes to see this boat come in, this ship, young cadets were up in the rigging. I describe it because they are coming back, and others. know the TV is watching. I am looking right at you. Pay attention if you watch it on Friday. Be out to Creenport on Saturday morning around lunchtime, late morning. The arrival is unbelievable. The greatest experience to see it happening in person. It was unbelievable. There are all kinds of events on Thursday. So be there. Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Councilman Romanelli, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 5:30 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Eli abeth A. Nev*-Ile Southold Town Clerk
