There was a meeting in Cutchogue in regards to this weekends .activities throughout Southold Town; I will ask Marie, Deputy, Marie, to make the report and tell us about what is going on this weekend.. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR JOHNSON: The meeting with the Long Island Tourism people was at the Beachcomber Motel this mroning . and .they gave a little report on has gone on in the other weekend festivals which have taken place already and they have come to the conclusion that each weekedn has brought. anywhero from 30 , 000 .to 50, 000 .people to the area involved in the weekend festival and people were coming from all over. They determined this from chances being sold by groups in the town and they looked at stubs of tickets and people are from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, all over New England. There have been a few problems. Not enough 'parking provided and that sort of thing. We are going to remind our police and hospital the coming weekden and the fact that we may have this many people. They are reporting that many areas are planning to continue this kind of fall festival thing as a regular each year snf the.-tourism people are predicting on the basis of the kind of program that we have 'set and the things that have happened in other areas. that we will probably have from 25,000 to 30,000 people. This will be spread out over Mattituck, Southold, Greenport and Riverhead, I have lots of information here about the schedule for each area and some other general things about the tourism bureau if anyone is interested, Thank you.. SUPERVISOR PELL; Marie, who is going to - do you know- the name of the gold medal winners who are going to come out here? DEPUTY SUPERVISOR JOHNSON: T 'm sorry, I don' t The judging for the OCTOBER 7, 19809 has suggested that the towns deal directly with the state on state aide for youth instead of going through the county. In his report he did say teh county would have a skelton staff to aid the different towns on this . We did discuss this today at Board and tentatively we are going to seek more information on this to see. how it would work and how it would affect our township. I .did contact Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones was going to dig out more information about it and get back to us on this. There is a formula in there on if the money that the county could save would be distributed to the towns , if they could cut theri staff down. So we want to see how many youths we have under sixteen years old and how it would affect each of the:_ten towns and how it would affect your town. Then I will get back to the county exec how we" feel about that . 10. A form letter sent out from Dr. Harris , Department of Helath, asking for the towns to keep him informed inthe water problems in their towns and if they are taking on any additional water lines or water mains or whatever. I ..did write to him, I am going to say, a month ago asking specific questions in regards to water in our township. About Temik, the canisters , and what we would do with them. When this letter came in I thought it was his reply but I think it was just a form letter because it addressed none of the questions which I asked trim. The only reply I did get back was about two days after I sent the letter he received, turn around and said Dr. Zaki would be handling the questions we asked and the answers would be forthwith and' we are still waiting. I am sure they will be herein time but that letter was the one that I had hoped to get . 11. An area thte Town Board is going to move in but we have to go through certain steps . There is an area in Mattituck--Hank do you want to comment on it? You' re familiar with it . COUNCILMAN DRUM: We are talking about the Old Main Road which is Route 25 in Mattituck. Many years ago, fifteen or twenty years ago there was a slight turn in the vicinity of where is now the bowling alley and Coach Stoppe and they , the State, took that turn out and as a result left a very small parcel of land in front of each of the businesses--Morchel, the bowling alley, Coach Stoppe, Wilsbergs , . Mattituck Plumbing and this was given, as is the custom, given to the individual owners , very small parcels. That area is zone B-1, Business and at that time when it became part' of the owners property it had no zoning and it remains unzoned at the present . Unzoned, which is not in accordance with our zoning of , course and it is only natural that this become the same zoning that exists there now as B-1. That ' s adjacent to the new or existing Route 25. Really it ' s just a matter of something that hasn' t been done in the past but it does require Town Board action. SUPERVISOR PELL: 12. Letter about a detailed freshwater ponds in our township. A ,proposal to have a study made and evaluate them and see what they are . Total cost would be $124, 000, Town cost would be $83,000. The Town Board has instructed me to see what finances is available for this and report back to them. One suggestion that I made today was if the Town Board decided to go with it they would consider federal Revenue Sharing funds over a two year period. Yet they have instructed me to find out hwat funds are available for this- if any state aide is available. 13. Letter from our accountant to audit the books at the end of the year. (Elaine Kaldor) . It will be put on the agenda under resolutions later on. 14. A request for use of the Town van for Boy Scout Troop No. 6 to go on a camping trip up in Baiting Hollow. This is in accordance with what the van was used for all summer long. It has been granted. 15 . From Fishers Island Garbage District Refuse District. They have a problem over there and they made a suggestion how to. correct it . We will evaulaute it and wait to hear from Mr. Doyen who is our representative from Fishers Island. I spoke to him today and his is coming up and wanting to review it and study it and perhaps have some recommendation of his own. The problem we are having there is the garbage truck in front of somebody' s house for extended time while he goes in for lunch or something and comes out and leaves a great bid puddle in somebody ' s front door step and they are complaining about it . 16 . A request from our Planning Board. This is something I want to comment on if i can. I think they are moving ahead in a very good way on this. They ask for a member of the Town Board to sit and work with them to study the creation of a limited number of two-family housing in Southold Town. A limited number: I understand from talking to them that they are considering some of the big old farm homes.. 496 OCTOBER 7, 1980 converting them into a different area if this can be done. This is what they are going to study. I know I have one lady come in to see me about this in February. She owns the farm house and she said, "I just cannot keep it up but it has been mine, I lived here all my life, my husband passed away, I don' t want to see it go down the drain. If I could only fix it up and rent half of it out I could live here and . it- would help me pay the taxes on it and heat it .: Under our present law this . cannot be done, of course, So Mr.;, Raynor has asked, and I will assign George Sullivan to work with them on this 17; . Again from the Planning Board, to develop a plan for primary and secondary highways within the Township. I w•i•11 appoint Councilman Nickles to work with them on this -proposed road system,, 18. Last but now least , item number 181. on this communications list , another request that they had• put forth, They would like to study a program whereby the township would perhaps buy back or take tax abatement agreements on town wetlands.. They would like to look in to and study this problem area. I have assi�gned ,Counci,lman Murdock to work with them on this. IV.

The date .of the letter is September 22nd. All three of these notices are on file in the Town Clerk' s Office. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. I ' d like to back up a minute i.f I could to reports . I have a report that I am going to ask .Larry to give that we' discussed today about. H2M and what .they. are going to do and we questioned some of their feelings . Larry do you want to tell about that a little bit? COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: We ha.d a' proposal from H2M Corporation to charge $44, 000 for engineering fees associated with capping the disposal area in Cutchogue. We have to 'close th,e. disposal area by 1985 and the Town Board questioned some of -.the amounts they were charging for services and questioning the need of some of the. services . We ..are trying to prevent a duplication. We- believe the County Public Health is testing some wells and there was an item in the proposal to charge us for testing the same wells and there was another item `about paying for aerial photographs and the Town already owns aerial photographs of .the area. One or two other related items. They are going to go back and refigure their psoposal to us -so: it will not exceed the $44,000:,. and should., in fact, come in less .than the $44,000. III . COMMUNICATIONS —SUPERVISOR PELL: 1. The first letter the Town Board received I am going to ask George to comment on, It was addressed to him. COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN. This is a letter from Tom Grattan who is the President of Southold Little League Association and I advised him that there may possibly be money in our Federal Revenue Sharing funds for purchase of a field to be used by the Little League. It has long been a desire of that' particular organization to own a piece of property they don' t own as og 'right now and so this is just a letter indicating their desire that if it is possible for the Town to acquire through Revenue Sharing that this , of course, would be desirable .by them. MRS . ANN KNOWLES : What is the field that is there now for? AM OCTOBER 7 , 1980 COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: It is most generously leased by the present owner but it could be sold at any time and they don' t have any place to play. MRS . KNOWLES : Oh, this doesn ' t belong to the Town? COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: No. SUPERVISOR PELL: 2. A letter from a law firm (Catterson & Nolan) requesting information when we receive it from the state on the Gull Pond area where some people would like to put in stakes and some people would like them not to put in stakes so the Town Board wrote to Albany, through our Town Attorney, to request additional information on this and it has not come in yet and when it does we will reply to the law firm. 3. A meeting called by Mr. Regan, State Comptroller to help prepare the towns on the new auditing book work that is going to be done throughout the state and is a one day meeting in Hauppauge. Somebody from our office will go up to it . 4. To inform us that the county is considering establishing a new department , Department of Senior Citizen Affairs with a commissioner to work in the activities of the senior citizens. This is a proposal at this time. MR. HENRY LYTLE: We were at a meeting in Riverhead today when the subject came up and it was the general concensus , although we didn' t, take any formal action at that point , that we oppose such a department and such a new establishment . It is something else we would have to contend with. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much for your comment . Were there many people there on this? MR. WILLIAM GRAHAM: There were representatives from all the east end township senior citizens groups - Southold,. Mattituck, Wading River, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton, East Hampton. SUPERVISOR PELL: May I ask you gentlemen, and I am speaking out of turn without consulting the Board, but what did the Mattituck and what did our senior groups think that were there? Mr. Lytle spoke for his . MR. LYTLE : It was the concensus of the meeting, not for the group. I didn't take any position, but just from everybody talking. There was one gentleman and one lady that presented this thing as we were going to have it and some others, especially from the south shore took a great deal of exception to it. We went along with the exception. I believe there is a Title 1880 resolution that is coming up in Hauppauge on October 23rd it it? It ' s probably ,in the same direction because it ' s the same title on senior citizens affairs only it seems that this other thing is going to stretch into further areas which there is no need to mention now but they are very skeptical about it. (Councilman Murdock gave Air. Lytle a copy of proposed resolution 1880. ) SUPERVISOR PELL: Moving on while you review that. 5.

It was there til they widened the road. When they widened the road the light went out . An area resident up there (Jennie Pupecki ) requested the Town Board to seek and try to get the caution light back. A couple of weeks ago there was a bad accident up there and this lady feels the Town Board should try to get the safety light put back up. On Peconic Lane and the North Road up here. 8. Letter from the North Fork Environmental Council expressing a strong desire to be included in the Airpark Committee that is working on the firm we just engaged, the study for feasibility report on the airport in Southold Town, R.

It has Been officially closed to Town residents . We do not have liefguards there like we do on the other beaches . Some years ago a person did drown in the lake there. .We do not want to deprive the classes from going there and doing a study but yet we want to make sure we are well protected so the Town is not liable for _additional losses. 4.
