8: 40 A.M. - Fire District representatives David Cervone, Daniel
Dzenkowski , Peter Coleman, Vincent Wieczorek and Curtis Horton
(Building Inspector) met with the Board to discuss unvented
portable kerosene heaters. The fire service has always been
opposed to unvented portable kerosene heaters and opposed
Local Law No. 1-1982 which amended the Housing Code - by adding
"Approved Portable Kerosene Heaters" . They stated that the-_,.
amended New York State Fire Code (to be enacted January 1984) ,
prohibits these heaters, except for two gallons or less for one
and two family dwellings only. They asked that the Board remove
Local Law No. 1-1982 from th.e books and amend the Southold Town
Fire Code to prohibit aforesaid heaters.--Town Attorney Tasker
arrived at this work session later in the morning and stated
such amendments are not necessary and will meet with a rep-
resentative of the fire service to explain the law regarding
the unvented heaters.---It was stated during the discussions
that improper notice was given of the proposed Local Law hear-
ing 'and action taken without consulting the fire service rep-
resentatives.. The Board. took exception to those statements
and a copy of the proceedings will be sent to- them.---As a
further note, Mr. Coleman advised the Board there is code
enforcement funding available to the Town of Southold in the
sum of $18, 800. 00. This will be researched.

chore, (4) essential services transportation, (5) home recreation
program, (6) comfort aid station, (7) Southold Town Geriatric
Network, as well as 32 outreach services, which Mrs_ . McKeighan
oversees. Mrs. McKeighan explained the need for a new van to
replace an existing one which has been ruled unsafe, and a--copier
- machine so she will not have to travel to the Town Hall constantly
to use the one here. . The Board agreed to place a resolution on the
agenda for the rental of a copier for the Nutrition Center, and
Supervisor. Pell advised that he is working with the County on fund-
ing for a van and hopes to be able to go to bid in the. very near
future.
9: 30 A.M. - Chief H. Daniel Winters met with the Board to outline
the courses he will be- taking when he attends the F.B. I . Academy

wished him luck on his project.
10: 50 A.M. - Executive Admitistrator 'Victor Lessard reported to
the Board on excavation that has taken place on the property of
Jem Realty, east of Sound Road, Greenport, in violation of the
permit which was issued on March 23, 1982, and the conditions of
the permit . would not fulfilled. - Mr-. Lessard was instructed to
take whatever action is necessary for compliance.---Mr. Lessard
reported on his inspection of Soundview Acres at Orient , an
abandoned subdivision, as a result of the report of Planning
Board Inspector John Davis and notice from the Planning Board
that the property had been disturbed. from its natural state. -
Mr. Lessard found that "bonds were posted and 'the subdivisibn had -
progressed in the Planning .Board to the point where oaky would be
.allowed to start doing preliminary work such as rough cutting roads
and basins, etc. " . Whereas this subdivision bond has been returned
the Board cannot .take legal action against the former developer.---
Mr. Lessard said the Building Department is aware of a complaint
by an irate contractor (Kontokosta Associates) , and explained the
steps that had been taken concerning the request . for a permit by .
that firm. When the application was reviewed by the state, the
Building Department was advised not to issue a permit until certain
revisions were made.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
11:20 A.M. - Mr. Lessard discussed the possibility of authorizing
the Building Department to issue appearance tickets, and personnel
in that department.
At one point during this session the discussion drifted off
to code amendments and Councilman Nickles reminded the Board that
this was not. property or necessary discussion during an Executive
Session and the Board was in effect cheating the public by not
allowing them to hear the discussion.
11: 45 A.M. - Mr. Jack Hansen, Accountant , Town of Riverhead, met
with the Board to discuss computerization of town records. - Mr.
Hansen was in the employ of the Town of Riverhead when they went
to computerization of their accounting department with the purchase
of their own computers, which- they have updated twice since that
time. Mr. Hansen' s personal opinion is that the -Town should own
its own equipment, since each computer company has their own package
and if the Town were dissatisfied they would have to start all over
again. Mr. Hansen answered questions of the Board members and went
on to lunch With them to discuss computerization -further.
12: 20 P.M. - Recess for lunch.
2:00 P.M. - Work Session reconvened -and- _the- Board began reviewing
the agenda.

the Board to discuss the proposed Ma ttituck parking lot planting - -
plan, and to suggest that the Board ask the North Fork-Bank- for an

VIII Housing Rehabilitation Program where there is $75,000 -available
which he suggests be used to acquire a burned-out abandoned house
built on two lots on- the -corner of Linnet and Brown Streets, Green-
- 9Z

port , and another parcel with four dilapidated buildings on a small
parcel in the same area.---Mr. McMahon advised the Board that con-
struction of the stairs at Horton' s Point will start around May 1st .
2: 35 P.M. - Mr. Gustave Wade addressed the Town Board requesting an
easement across 35 ft. of land leading to his property at the end
of East Road, Cutchogue. Mr. Wade has applied to the Town Trustees
for a similar easement across that property which was formerly under
water and has now been filled connecting his property to the main-
land at East Road. Mr. Wade reviewed the history of his property,
which was formerly owned by Leander Glover, Jr. , and was the subject
of considerable litigation in the past. Mr. Wade has a permit from
the D.E.C. , but when he applied to the Southold Town Building Depart-
ment he was informed he would need access to the lot , which would
entail permission from the Town Board and Town Trustees. During
the discussion Mr. Wade asked Town Attorney Tasker to give him a
letter saying he could build on his property without access. Town
Attorney Tasker said he would only give Mr. Wade a letter saying
he could construct his home if he reached the island by water only-.
Mr. Wade asked the Board if they would grant him a quit claim deed
for whatever interest the Town has in the 35 feet at the end of East
Road leading to his property. The Board members were agreeable to
this proposal.
3:00 P.M. - Public Hearing in the matter of the application of Port
of Egypt Marine for a wetland permit .
3: 05 P.M. - The Board resumed reviewing the agenda. Considerable
discussion was held with regard to the proposed full-town moratorium
local law resolution put before the Board by Councilman Mifrphy.
Councilman Murdock stated he would like to see the matter handled
. ,by amending the zoning ordinance; Councilman Nickles felt there must
be a better way to handle the situation other than a moratorium,
perhaps through the zoning ordinance as Councilman Murdock suggested.
Councilmen burdock and Nickles and Justice Edwards all objected to
minor subdivisions being included in the proposed moratorium, but
Councilman Murphy was firm in insisting minor subdivisions be in-
cluded. Councilman Nickles stated that after hearing statements
by Planning Board Chairman Henry Raynor relative to the number of
major and minor subdivision plats filed in 1982 and to date in
1983, he would be willing to go forward with the resolution so it
can 'go .to a public hearing and the public be given an opportunity
to present their views. Councilman Murdock and Justice Edwards
agreed. Supervisor Pell had previously indicated he would be in
favor of a full-town moratorium. The resolution will go forward
at the regular. meeting this evening.
Councilman Nickles asked Supervisor Pell to hold his proposed
resolution for a Local Law on game rooms, as he had attended a
seminar in this subject at the Association of Towns meetings. - He
is now in receipt of an Ameusement Center Ordinance from the Town
of Henrietta and would like Supervisor Pell to study it and in-
corporate some of the language in his proposed law. . Supervisor
Pell agreed.

11. Building Inspector ' s February 1983 report .
12. Councilmen' s reports. Councilman Nickles.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. I ' d like to
report on the trip into the Association of Towns on February
20, 21, 22, 23. I think the Town was pleased to participate
in the 50th Anniversary of the Association which started in
1933, especially inasmuch as they were honoring past presidents
of that Association and Southold did have a president of. 1943,
S. Wentworth Horton. At the Supervisor' s request I attended the
banquet to receive said certificate. You now have and I don ' t
know what you' re going to do with it , but I 'm sure you' ll find '
a suitable location. While I was in there I attended meetings
for Planning Board members and Town Board members and in the
Planning Department I attended a seminar on video games which I
thought was interesting because I know the Supervisor had a pro-
posal coming up on said games and I j-ust received from the Town
of Henrietta, yesterday, their legislation or Local Law, I should
say, and also an attorney ' s justification and methods of arriving
at, defining and implementing amusement type centers and video
games. Also in the Planning Board section there was an item on
fast food stores like McDonalds and they put a lot of emphasis
on road conditions and the amount of traffic. that- would emanate
from such operations and that 's where you have to place your
careful scrutiny when evaluating such businesses. Also I had
an opportunity to meet with the Department of State to discuss
Local Laws pertaining to moratoriums, which we went into this
afternoon. I also attended meetings for the Town Board- sponsored -
tZ
486 MARCH 8, 1983
by the State Department of Equalization and Assessment and I won.' t
go through everything they told us there but it kind of lines up
with their policies the last few years. - They ' re really looking to
consolidate assessing units, get rid of elected assessors, have
appointed assessors, transfer -the assessing units to the county-,
and I can tell you that there where 500 Councilmen in the room
and you could get the sense from the- way the people started to -
- breath heavy in there that they didn ' t like' the idea -of transferring
assessing units out of the town jurisdiction. There was also a_
seminar of Town Board members on the importance of dog control to
- the taxpayers and briefly what they reviewed was how those people
that license their dogs and are lawful are subsidizing all the
other unlicensed dogs in the town and to what extent the town -
could incur liabilities by not proper dog control. Also, there
was a special program on computerization which also was timely.
I can't say I can come back here and advise' the Town Board on
how to implement a. computer program, but I think at every one of
these sessions you go to you do pick up something that adds to
your basic knowledge. Thank you, Bill.
SUPERVISOR PELL: You're .welcome. Councilman Murphy.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: The only thing I ' d like- to report is just
really to get a little P.R. out to the people. We had a meeting
with Cablevision people last week. As you know we're in litigation
with them concerning their contract with the Town and they have the
feeling they're doing a magnificant job in the Town and that we
shouldn ' t be criticizing them. They suggested that anyone who is
dissatisfied call them up and let them know; and I hope a lot of
people do. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Justice Edwards.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Supervisor has one thing to report . Progress
on all fronts. At the Southold .P.T.A. Friendly Feud night the
Town Hall put up a team against other teams throughout the community
and the champs are: Councilman Murphy, Town Clerk Mrs. Terry,
Councilman Murdock who is not here, Victor Lessard from our Build-
ing Department and Bob Neudeck from the Highway. So the Town Hall
team came out as champs.- I did send a letter to the president of
the P.T.A. the next day and said we know a little bit more than
Town government. You did well, team. I was the' coachl !
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Now every wants to take credit , right?

ARTICLE XVI
MORATORIUM
0100-160 Findings
1. In response to threats of groundwater quality and increasing
l
demands for potable drinking water in the North Fork of Eastern Long
Island, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services retained the
services of ERM-Northeast to conduct a study of water supply options
. for the North Fork. On December 16, 1982, ERM prepared a draft report
entitled "North Fork Water Supply, Executive Summary and Recommendations, "
wherein it made the following findings:
(a) That the total .available groundwater supply is limited.
(b) That in- the Town of Southold, a very delicate balance
exists between fresh water lenses , salt water intrusion,
chemical. contamination and water requirements.
(c) That over-pumpage or improper well location causes
lateral and vertical saltwater intrusion.
(d) That because the aquifers are shallow, they are
extremely susceptible to chemical contamination and
have a limited dilution or assimilative capacity.
(e) That the above conditions require that groundwater
resources be properly managed and protected in order
to provide the necessary water supply requirements.
2. That in the past two years there has been a sharp increase
496 MARCH 8 , 1983
in the number of acres for subdivisions filedlwith the Planning
Board for subdivision plat approval involvingjland throughout the
Town.
3. That the Town of Southold has retained the firm of Raymond,
Parish, Pine and Weiner, Inc. to' conduct suchlstudies as it deems
necessary to update the Town ' s 1967 Master Plan to provide for the
future development of the Town.
4. That such firm is presently in the process of collecting
data, including the review of existing water studies to determine
the Town' s development capacity based in partlupon the available
supply of potable water.
5. That the Town Board believes that , based upon the findings
and recommendations of the ERM report, that the planning firm may ,
recommend that the existing zoning code and zoning map be amended . ,
in order to prevent the shortage of potable water and in -accordance
with such land use factors as agriculture, fishing and tourism.

regulations in the Town of Southold -may be inconsistent with the-

planning firm.

Town in such areas, and to prevent a race of diligence of land owners
to develop land under the existing zoning regulations during the ,
Town' s consideration of such measures which may result in the
establishment of land development which would ! be inconsistent - with
such measures and defeat their intent and purpose.

a moratorium and we are delighted that the Town Board has decided
to act to send this to the County and to the Planning Board for
review and then for a public hearing, for both this proposal and
for Councilman Townsend' s proposal.: We only hope that between
now and then there will be enough information gathered to convince
those members of the Board who are doubtful now that this is a
necessity as of this time. Thank you.

499 MARCH 8 , 1983
MR. PHIL BARTH, Southold: The reason I 'm getting up to speak now
is that you gentlemen have seen me now for the last three months
coming down to all the work sessions and the reason I 'm getting up
now is because I ' ll be leaving for a month and a half to Israel for
a vacation and I want to express my thoughts before I leave. It
seems to me that in all the deliberations that I 've listened to and
been witness to, that one thing stands out pretty clear in my mind.
That one of the worst things that can happen is the indecision that
I 've seen on the Board, especially when it came to the moratorium.
I think that indecision of this sort is bad not only for the residents
of Southold but even for the developers, the property owners and
.everyone else that ' s involved in it , because you don 't know which
way to turn, therefore I agree with Ruth that it ' s a very encouragin€
sign that finally the Board has decided to move. I like the directic
they 're moving, but I would say that no matter what direction you' re
moving in, move so that we get some resolution of this and we know
which direction we' re going. Now I hope by the time I come back
that this thing is all resolved.
SUPERVISOR PELL:. Thank you, Mr. Barth.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Bring us back a camel with water in it .
MR. BARTH: I ' ll bring you back a rock from the Holy Land.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Have a good trip.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Anybody else wish to address the Board? Mr.
Franklin Bear.
MR. FRANK BEAR, Southold: I just want to add my words of apprec-
iation for the step that has been taken this evening in the direction
of a moratorium, town-wide. I 'm hopeful that by the time this goes
to public hearing and is acted upon by the Town Board, and that this
Board will take action which will put us in a position of finding out
what ' s going to happen--what can happen to this Town and before it ' s r
too late. I hope that we can keep this moratorium in effect town-
wide and that if necessary that it can be extended until the Town a
Plan is updated and necessary rezoning has been accomplished in orde711"
to implement it. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Anybody else wish to address the Board? Thank you,
Mr. Bear. If not , motion is in order to adjourn.
Moved by Supervisor Pell, seconded by Councilman Nickles, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be adjourned at_8: 34 P.M.
