SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
JUNE 22, 1982
WORK SESSION
8 : 00 A.M. - Receiver of Taxes George Mellas met with the Board to
discuss the contract with Pitnev Bowes for supplying the Town with
a new postage meter machine. It was dicovered that the figures
quoted to the Town Board by the Pitney Bowes salesman for the 1981
costs and the 1982 costs for a new machine were greatly out of line.
For the Town to keep the new- machine a transfer would have to be
made into that item. The Board instructed Supervisor Pell to contact
Pitney Bowes and request . them to meet the contract price quoted by
the salesman, or a resolution will be placed on the July 7th agenda
to cancel the contract.
Mr. Mellas discussed the proposed move o'f h 's' office into the
Town Clerk ' s Office. He said that presently his office is working
with 6 ledgers and under the ALRM system 16 ledgers will soon be
needed, which will decrease his working space where in his present
quarters which are much larger than the Town Clerk' s, Office, Further,
Mr. Mellas cited the congestion which will be caused by the proposed
location when court is in session, or a Town Board meeting is being
held. Councilman Murdock asked Assessor Chairman Henry Moisa to
address the Board on his point of view concerning the move. Mr . Moisa
said that Receiver 's Office and the Assessor ' s Office work very closely
together and are more closely related than that of the Building Depart-
ment, who were to move to the Tax Receiver ' s Office.. Councilman
Murdock expressed the opinion that he still feels the Town Hall should
be added on to. The proposed move will be discussed further later in
the day.

restore the Inn. They propose to move the Inn from the present
location to a site further out toward the Point and make it convention
center and restaurant , and the heart of a condominium development :
The architects and engineer made an extensive presentation to the
Board concerning their proposal ,. which will take considerable time
to accomplish, as numerous applications to various Town agencies
will be necessary. --The Board agreed to place a resolution on the
agenda granting an extension of time to January 15, 1983 to allow
�Lr .. Schick to return to the Board with a progress report on the
renovation of the Inn, provided he clears and maintains the grounds

I . REPORTS
SUPERVISOR PELL: These reports are placed on file with the Town
Clerk. Anybody wishing to review them may do so at the Town Clerk' s
Office.
1. Justice Tedeschi ' s monthly report - May, 1982: -
2. Long Island Cablevision monthly report - May, 1982.
3. Councilmen.'-s reports, Councilman Townsend anything to report?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, we had a Zoning and Planning Committee
meeting and I ' ll let Larry who is the head of that discuss it in .
greater detail. I inspected the Dog Pound and that was duly reported
in the press. I also took the opportunity to look through the Police
Department Headquarters in Peconic. As a member of the Police -Committee
I hadn' t had a chance to look through tat . It was very interesting,
very modern. I f elt just like Sergeant Joe Friday.
SUPERVISOR PELL: (councilman Murdock?
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: On the Code Enforcement Committee meeting, we
held ,that meeting Wednesday, June 16th. In attendance was Victor
Lessard, our new Town Board liaison Administrative Assistant, George
Fisher of the Building Department , Gerry Goehringer from the Zoning
B'oa,rd .of Appeals, our: Town Attorney Robert Tasker, Councilman Joe- ,
Townsend, Councilman John Nickles and myself. We are continuing
,_.with the Town Attorney to put. together a bunch of changes that had
been worked on 'last year and now the Zoning Board of Appeals is
JUNE 22, 1982 167
completely satisfied with the changes and reflect their views.
Very shortly we' ll be having publ` `c °hearings on the changes that will
go into our Code. We also worked on them with the Building Department .
We spent considerable! ltime •discussin.g C.ode , changes in reference to
winery operations.. There are certain types of operations dealing
with a winery that are. inherent with growing grapes and the Town feels
that it is our responsibility to allow a certain level of pressing
of grapes for making of wine, .but we also want to prohibit the import-
ing of other grapes and other wines on a Town-wide basis. We feel it
should go into an industrial area. We will attempt to draw up a Code
that will satisfy-the -needs of individual grape growers and individual
farmers and still maintain the integrity of our Town zoning. We also
had a continuing discussion on two-family conversions and its merits
relative to the Town of Southold and a discussion :on new fees and
filing of building permits and that recommendation has just been given
to the Town Board. You' ll see the fruits of this meeting probably in
the next 30 to 60. days.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anything else, Larry?
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: We had our committee with Cablevision which you' ll
address. Councilman Nickles.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I ' ll just add one addendum to .what Councilman
Murdock' s report. What you willi,be seeing :in the next 30 to, 60 days
has not been .the fruit of one meeting but numerous meetings over the
course of probably two and a half to three years. On the beaches I ' d
like to report that ;our Commissioner' of . Public Works and his men have
meetin- the sand from Goldsmith' s Inlet to Kenny' s Beach which has
really eroded which you are all aware and it is completed, just the
other day. The whole thing is all graded off so it will be usable and
ready for the beach season. We had a meeting yesterday relative to
the Dog Contract which I ' ll report at Executive Session'.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murphy?
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: We saw the beaches today and they do look a .thousand
percent better and we hope the sand stays there. It took an awful lot
on the part of the County and Ray Dean' s Department to bring about . I' d
like to report that the young seed clams are doing exceptionally .well.
They' ve over doubled in size already and at the. rate they' re going they
should be almost little neck size by the end of their growing season at
the end of the summer.
SUPERVISOR PELL' As Supervisor we had a meeting with Cable T. V. from
Albany this past week. Councilman Townsend, Councilman Murdock and
myself was there. Later on in the meeting you;;;will see that we are
notifying Time Mirror that owns Cable T. V. in our Township, from
California, that we will be seeking outside people coming in to look
over our system and perhaps put in a bid in when our contract is up.
We feel at the Town Board we are getting too many complaints from
people about the service. We are also requesting Albany to call
Long Island Cablevision' and hold a public hearing with then 'in-'';'
Albany to see why our system is so dilapidated and upgrade our
system. --The Supervisors of the ten towns met the other day and
we took the stand to oppose changing the county tax system to a
four payment system: it means that all the Towns would have to
open up and take on ,year around personnel instead of part-time
personnel . The schools from the west end would like to see it
go to a four payment plan instead of two like we have now. Nine
of us where there and we all are opposed to it.
COUNCILMAN MUIR,DOCK:' Bill, ' i' d -Just like to add a little something
to your Cablevision. The people who have agendas will see that we
have a letter. Part of our problem in Town--the woman is not
complaining about the amount of .the subscription, but she does say
for her subscription .money " I am promised reception over and above
Connecticut Channels 3 and 8, of New York Channels 2 (12) , 4, 5, 7,
9, 11 and 13. --My daughter who lives in Manhattan gets something
like 30 channels for about the same price I pay for seven. " That
has been part of the complaints people in the Town had and our
franchise with Long Island Cablevision has been in existence 16
years. By the time the next period is over I think it will be a
total of 20 years. The equipment , the lines that were installed
to each of our homes were installed 14 to 15 years ago and did not
have the capability of handling more than the 7 channels and we
here on the Town Board--those of us at the meeting--and after the
168 JUNE 22, 1982
discussion today I think the rest of the Board feels the same way,
it has been apparent that the parent company has bled off the profits
of running this franchise system and not modernizing and updating the
cable so that when our franchise is over we will really be , in 'a position
that if we' re going to be equal to todays market somebody is going to
have to start over. `` That was; at least to my mind, the most distressing
part of our conversations with the people from the state and the effect
that those of us iiving here in the Town `-have been subjected io:`"- By
the time our franchise is over we will in effect then be 14 to 15 years
behind the engineering capabilities. That will be addressed. 'That ' s
the purpose of addressing the letter, to tell the people in Long Island
Cablevision that we are aware we 've been abused and would like that
corrected.

SUPERVISOR PELL: That ends the agenda as prepared. Does any
Councilman have anything they want to bring up at this time?
Joseph? . (No. ) Larry? (Not at this time, thank you. ) John?
178 JUNE 22 , 1982
COU:NCILAIAN NICKLES: Yes. One of the phone calls that I received
prior to coming in here was that the County approved the funds for
Little Creek dredging. .
SUPERVISOR PELL: Oh, good. Frank? , :(Nothing. ) Ray? (Nothing. )
Anybody wish to address the Board. One. at. a time, please. Mr.
Kelly.
ROBERT A . KELLY, Attorney: I represent a corporation that owns
the cement plant over on Cox' s Lane which was just purchased by
AIr. Aluritori. One of the reasons the plant has been closed .is
the sand of the Town of Southold cannot be brought up to standards
for use to make concrete in accordance with the State specifications,
State Building Code, it needs more sand.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Afore sand or more screening? .
AIR. KELLY: It needs both as a matter of fact. The fill that they
would have purchased from the Town, they would take it over and
screen it and then add sand from Southampton to it so that we can
use it here. Now, my understanding is the only source of supply
for concrete in the Town of Southold, the nearest, is in the Town
of Riverhead. It costs quite a bit of money to transport concrete
in the transit mix stage. Whereas transporting the sand over to
Westhampton and transporting it back here again for sale as to be
incorporated in concrete is much cheaper , because you're transport-
ing it in a regular truck instead of in a ready-mix truck. So,
you people are paying.;approximately $5 . 00: for. the,.round: trip of
concrete coming from Riverhead over and above the standard price
of the cost of running one of these transit mix trucks. They use
quite a bit of fuel. . Our proposal was that we be permitted to take
sand here, which we purchase here, take it over, mix it with sand
from Southampton and take an equal volume back here with this sand
being capable of being incorporated in concrete which will meet the
standards of the New York State Building Code. Otherwise that plant
can ' t be operated. The Town of .Southampton would_. probably get mad
ortin
if we were ,trans p g; their sand strictly over here. Fortunately
they have enough range in their gravel level,: in. Southampton to- mix
certain proportions of Southampton sand with the sand from.'here and
it comes out to meet the Code level, but your sand does not . We do
have a real problem and gentlemen,. I realize you have a local law,
which also presents a problem. Oh, one thing I should point out
is we have . no offices- in any other county,. ,the only off ice -_o,f this
concrete plant--we do not, sell sand to anybody, we haven ' t sold a
pound of sand , straight sand to anybody, we sell concrete. Our
other office is in Westhampton where we do have a screening plant
built .
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: My understanding now from your conversation
is that you do not take the sand from here and bring it back in
a ready-mix truck, you take the sand. from here, screen it and bring
back sand?
AIR. KELLY: In an open truck.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: And it will be possible for you to log this?
AIR. KELLY: Yes, we would. keep 'a log for..you. , Our difficulty is
that you won ' t.-be getting exactly the same mix back. But Southampton
shouldn' t have an objection because . it ends up with the same number
of yards over there too.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES : What is the ratio of Southold' s to Southampton?
AIR.- KELLY: What ' s the ratio of sand?
AIR . LARRY. CANAVARA: Well, fine it is not enough. The sand that we
have over here it is not enough fine for concrete. We have to add
more sand to get the right ratio.
SUPERVISOR PELL: What is the percentage that you have to add?
If you take ten yards- from here, what do you have to add to that
ten yards?
MR. CANAVARA: It is hard to figure.
SUPERVISOR PELL: You had already taken some from here before you
got stopped.
JUNE 22 ) 1982 179
AIR, CANAVARA: Yes , but we did,-nothing with it .
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other question from any Board member? As you
know, our local law prohibits this. If the Board is going to amend
it it is going to take time. If, I say if it decides to amend it---
I ' m sure we will go- into great lengths with this before the day is
up with our Town Attorney when we go back into the Work Session of
the Board and if. you care to call the Town Clerk or my office tomorrow
we will probably give you our decision.
AIR. CANAVARA.: Okay, thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Anybody else wish to address the Town Board?
AIR, ALBERT STONE, Southold: I 'm here to address Item Number 6, the
establishment of a 7-Eleven store at the eastern end of our Town.
We' ve been listening to very eloquent statements all afternoon
about the historical beauty of this section of Town, the entire
Town, and the desire to continue the historical edifices and
maintain them. Mere we have a company from Texas who want to �.,
come up here and establish a 7-Eleven store. We' ve got one in
Cutchogue, we got one in Greenport and from the historical stand-
point we learn from various points that these stores seem to
attract the wrong kind of elements in the Town. We don ' t want
our Town of Southold turned into a 42nd Street where you have a
large number of cars coming and going into Town to buy beer and
drink it up on the beaches and throw the beer bottles all over
Town which they do now and it ' s going to get worse if we have
something like this. I believe the Town Board has the file
containing about 700 signatures that we collected the last three
or four months. Signatures of permanent residents in this Town
who are against the establishment of this particular store. They
believe that the historical beauty and the colonial atmosphere of
Southold will be hurt a great deal if a structure of this type is
erected on the site of the Amoco gas station . We implore the Town -
Board to think these things over and give every consideration to
defeat this plan to establish this store. We want to continue it
the way it is, that ' s why we moved here and I don ' t think there' s
anybody in this room that doesn' t agree that we want to keep the
Town the way it is now, quiet and beautiful and historical. Thank
you for your time.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much. Anybody else wish to address .
the Board?
MRS. MARGARET KATZENBERG, Southold: I live in Southold Village and
I agree with much of what Mr . Stone has said. I ' ve had a home here
for over fifty years and I would like to keep the character of
Southold Village much as it is. From personal experience I ' ve
made two visits to the 7-Eleven in Greenport. One in which I was
passing about 9: 00 o ' clock in the evening and decided to buy milk
instead of early the next morning. I went in the store and I
haven ' t visited any disco clubs but I thought that was what it was .
It was very loud rock music, I don' t know whether it was a permanent-
installation or one of the employees had a mobile one. It was noisv.
I don ' t think we want that going on 24 hours a day in Southold. The
other is a severe traffic hazard . As I went in, two cars filled with
young people were playing some kind of game in the parking area and
when I came out a third car drove in and someone didn' t like what
someone else did__and i_t_ looked like violence. I think those are
hazards we don ' t need. : I..hope you -find a way to keep it out. .:
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much Mrs. Katzenberg. Anybody
else wish to address the Board? Mrs . Albertson,
AIRS . BARBARA ALBERTSON, Southold: Board members and Town Clerk,
I 'm a little concerned, I do live right across the street so we
have a residential area abutting up to the business area. This
is the delineation that the Town Code makes and I want to ask a
question. Given these general problems that come with man-made
boundaries we do have this transitional area there and there ,are
the social problems that have been raised and the traffic problems ,
the historical--this location as .it were, the architecture, th
commercialization against the historic character . If our Tow
Code is going to look at a black and white matter I would li
to know what other course we have if it ' s gone through the P anning
Board and Building Inspector , We do have a number of peop e who
180 JUNE 22 , 1982
on general principles feel that this is out of character . I wonder
where our next step goes. How the process goes from here?
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: I think the question is , where you go from
here? I think you have to understand that to begin with the property
you are talking about is already zoned to permit the use that is
being proposed. It ' s allowed under the Zoning Code. The only way
that you could proceed would be to change:-the Zoning Code and I
don ' t mean just for that one .property. Probably .generally through-
out the Town because we had to zone according to a comprehensive
plan. It is presumably to outlaw fast-food stores generally
throughout the Town. This couldn' t be done tomorrow.
AIRS . ALBERTSON: Of course that was the point I was trying; to make.
I realize the Code says one thing and yet we do have an understanding
that something isn 't very' compatable here and I wondered. how that
could be addressed.
TOj;'N ATTORNEY TASKER: The use is allowed. The use that you are
concerned with is only allowed under the Code.
AIRS. ALBERTSON: As a retail store, but this has. the distinction
of being a 24-hour store and there is--'--
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: They don' t put any time limits on any. of the
retail stores in our Zoning Code. They all can stay open for 24
hours. As a matter of fact at one period of time supermarkets did
stay open 24 hours.,
AIRS. ALBERTSON: One of the record books .that I did a little bit
of research spoke of the transitional area between residential areas
and business areas and these are in conflict and I think they have
to be addressed.
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: Just in general at a broad stroke my -answer
would have to be that this is a legislative function to be considered
by the Town Board, basically. They are presumably going into a
Plaster Plan in this Town and it would be one of the things 'they
could study.
AIRS. ALBERTSON: I` ,won ' t take. any- more time.:. Thank .you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Mrs. Albertson. Anybody else. wish
to address the Board? Mrs . Ruth Oliva.
AIRS. RUTH OLIVA, Orient: "Gentlemen, we, the undersigned citizens
of Southold Town, respectfully submit the 3, 242 signatures request-
ing a moratorium on all major subdivisions until the Town 14aster
Plan has been updated. We appreciate the current efforts of the
Town Board in' addressing the complex problem of updating the Master
Plan to meet the Town' s future needs . However, since 1981, approx-
imately 691 acres of Southold Town have been proposed for major
subdivisions. Of these', more than 620 acres have been proposed
within the last six months. In the face of the alarming acceleration
of request for major subdivision development , we are convinced that
a holding action is imperative. Positive action now will enable
Southold to grow in a manner that will serve the best interests of
its present and future citizens. The signers of this petition
represent Southold citizens from Laurel to Orient : voters, tax-
payers and residents, including farmers, land owners, baymen,
professionals, and business persons , black and white, old and young.
The petition also has the support of the following civic organiza-
tions: The Southold-Peconic Civic Organization, The Sound Beach
Civic Association, The Mattituck Inlet Civi Association, The Captain
Kidd Civic Association, and Brown' s Hills Estates , Inc. We believe
that the attached signatures represent a' mandate 'that cannot be
ignored. We will continue to petition and to enlist the support
of additional civic groups. We urge you to act in accordance with
the wishes of the people of the Town of Southold. Sincerely, The
Southold Moratorium Committee for an Updated ATaster Plan. "
I ' d just like to read you the breakdown of the figures which
are incomplete because we just added some more from t•he different
towns . It ' s rather interesting. ' Laurel - 52, ' Mattituck =` 481 '
Cutchogue - 472, New Suffolk - 100, Peconic - 112, Southold - 919,
Greenport - 362, East Marion - 221, Orient: - 411. So ,you can see,
Gentlemen, it is a Town-wide petition. Thank you. We would request
if we could just chat with you briefly for a few minutes when you
recess this meeting. Thank you.

SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anyb,odv. else wish to address the
Board? firs. Ronnie Thacker.
MRS. RONNIE WACKER, Cutchogue: I just want to add that I think the
moratorium is an excellent opportunity for us all to sit back and
consider where we want to be in the next ten or fifteen years,
whether we want to end up being a bedroom community with no industry
or whether we intend to continue being an attractive tourist area,
because if we do want to continue tourism we ' ve got to consider how
we ' re going to keep the open space and I know that you are now
involved in getting estimates on the cost of updating the master plan.
But , some years ago, ten or twelve ,years ago, they commissioned a
study of .farmlands and at that time it was . show.n that the tourists
pretty generally said that they came out here because of the open
space. And if we are not going to be concerned about the acceleration
of submissions to the Planning Board we are going to have a very
serious problem to consider.
