Supervisor Homan announced the receipt of September report. of
Justice James H. Rich, Jr.
Councilman Drum reported on a meeting held on October 19th at
Hauppauge for the purpose of discussing the ,spiriling fuel prices.
They were seeking the opinion in ways in which existing federal
and state programs could be improved and administired to respond
to the fuel crisis situation and implementation of .certain proposed
loan-grant home fuel emergencies. Southold ,Town has gone on record
that proposed to abolish the sales tax on home fUel oil as soon as
possible. At present it is 36-6 county, 3% state. In the past they ,
have not been able to pass legislation. It had been disapproved
in 1977 and again in 1978 and the amendment was eliminated in 1979 .
At present what they are hoping to do is get legislation passed.
They need a one year emergency grant and loan program to enable
many lower and middle income individuals, particularly the elderly
on fixed incomes, to survive through the winter. That was the
primary purpose of the meeting, to get industry people, officials
of towns and the county feelings. At present Suffolk County has
.established a Social Service Emergency Fuel Procedure which sets
up the emergency unit with an officer in charge. There are two
telephone numbers whereby people who are on welfare will have a
certain procedure set up for them to get emergency relief and
for people who are not whereby they will call the various phone
numbers and will obtain immediate emergency relief.----In .:.,connection
with this matter the Suffolk County Department of Health has proposed
an amendment to the Suffolk County Sanitary Code. The relationship
is there is a feeling that there is a great deal of fuel that is
leaking into the ground and they would have ,a code whihc would set
forth certain requirements on tank testing; commercial as well as
368 G1. 2 31979
home tanks. This would be spread out over a period of years. The
implementation_ will take some time.,----Supervisor Homan said that
one of:` the important things Councilman Drum omitted was in relation
to the second involuntary closing of service stations in Southold
area. He asked that the Tow# of Southold be on record once again
asking for area allocations and the area allocations be brought up
to the standard they were before with relation to the closing of
two major service stations in Greenport. . The Supervisor .is afraid
if they just allow the station allocation and completely disregard
the closing of those two stations it could seriously affect the Town
next year. . Councilman Drum said this was given to Mr. Wurtz &Mr.Kirby.

Vote of. the Town Board: Ayes : Justice Tedeschi , Councilman
Nickles, Councilman Pell, Councilman Drum, Supervisor Homan. Absent:
Justice Doyen.
This resolution was declared duly adopted.
Supervisor Homan announced that at this time the Town Board is looking
for a part-time Dog Warden. They would prefer someone who might
come recommended by the Animal Welfare League, but if anyone at all
is interested Supervisor Homan would appreciate their getting in
touch with him.
Supervisor Homan stated that at the last Board meeting he announced
there is a vacancy on the Board of Appeals. He again announced the
vacancy and asked for resumes from anyone who wishes to be considered,
also, if anyone has submitted a prior resume and they advise him, he
will reactivate their resume for consideration.
Mr. Franklin Bear asked Supervisor Homan if at this time he would
like to discuss the Mattituck Inlet situation. --Supervisor Homan
stated.!'that he�,has".been«working on the Mattituck Inlet problem
since July. He originally started working with the town attorney
discussing various avenues through which they could go about resolving
the situation. He then enlisted the aid of Henry Raynor of the Pla
nning Board to see what he and Supervisor Homan could come up with that
would be perhaps a better use of the area. They thought they should
have such a use in mind if they were going to do anything in the area,
because it is quite possible that whatever the Town does become involved
in down there it will be of a controversial nature. To that extent
both Supervisor Homan and Mr. Raynor started seeking information on
what could be done in the area; possible better uses of the area,
possible funding for whatever they might want to do in the area, and
they have covered quite a bit of ground on it. Mr. Raynor at the
last Planning Board meeting did present a sketch, for information
purposes only, of the area and. a general proposed arrangement of
something that might be able to work out down there. On the loth
of October he had a meeting with Sea Grant. A man from the area
brought a lady from Sea Grant to meet with the Supervisor and she
offered to help in seeing how she could direct Supervisor Homan
into areas of seeking funds and seeking assistance in whatever they
may be doing. He did lay out to her all the things and all the areas
and all the directions in which he was involved with and when he did
she so complimented him and stated he had gone far beyong the scope
of anything she might have been able to. suggest. He is still very
very much involved with it, he has some meetings to attend, that he.
hopes will have a direct bearing on the area, on November 8th and
following that meeting he would like to get together with represnta
tives of the area, teh Planning Board and try to narrow down their
direction and exactly their proposals for the area. There are other
matters the Board has discussed today and a lot involve possible
litigation in the area. He is a little reluctant to go into that
at this time. Basically he has been working on the situation for
some time and feels quite satisfied with what he has been doing:,
but enough things aren't happening fast enough. Supervisor Homan
stated that is his report at the present time. He apologized if
it seemed broad, it is meant. to be broad, he does not want to .act
into specifics at this time because there are too many loose ends.
ACT: 3 ,1979 38Z3
Mr. Bear asked if it is not possible for the� Board to activate the
committee today.--Supervisor Homan said he is meeting with the
people the possible funding on November 8th and until he gets a
clear direction of where he thinks their best shots at money are_
he is a little hesitant to begin any formal action on the committee.
Also, he would like members of the Town Board to be on the committee
and thought it might be advisable to wait until after the November
8th meeting and feels it is a reasonable request to wait. As far
as the committee acting before- then - perhaps in a general discussion
but he is going to be very broad in anything he says or does at this
point in time until he gets a little more information on some areas
which he is looking and':,seeking information. '
Mr. Bear said it is his understanding the committee would be a
citizens committee and they would' be working' with the Board and
the Board would not be necessarily a part of the committee.---
Supervisor Homan stated that anything he does as Supervisor he
does with the knowledge and full backing of his Board and when the
committee is formed he accepts the suggested individuals as a base
for the committee, but it will be a Town Board function.
Mr. Bear asked what goal Supervisor Homan sees for the Mattituck
Inlet area.----Supervisor Homan stated it is to protect the area
from any possible expansion of undesirable uses and the elimination
of those property uses in the areas which are causing a problem.---
Mr. Bear asked about converting the area into recreation purposes.--
Supervisor Homan said he would emcompass any and all possibilities
at this time.----Mr. Bear asked if he has any specific action at this
time to work toward the goals.----Supervisor, Homan said he believes
the avenue of his getting information to present to the Town Board
and facts, etc. is the state he is in right now. He can see where
the Board can be of no help to him at this point in time, where they
can speed up his receiving information. He is meeting with EDA
people who are the big money people and since they are talking
considerable sums of money it is imperative that he meets with them
to get an idea of what support financially the Town can expect from
them.---Mr. Bear said that in the letter to the Town Board they ask
that the Town Building Inspector issue a cease and desist order,
because the operators of the facility are seeking a recertification
to resume the operations. It is possible the Town might issue a
cease and desist order to keep the operation from even getting started
toward resumption and meanwhile negotiating,' even going to the extent
of condemning, and finally getting an upzoning of the area?---Super-
visorHoman stated that as far as the Town instigating a cease and
desist order that comes in the realm of legal matters and he as
Supervisor does not care to comment on legal matters unless he is
so advised. As far as condemning the property at a negotiated
purchase price with the owners of the property, the statement itself
seems to be in conflict with itself. That they could possibly
negotiate a purchase price, yes, but he as Supervisor cannot:;:do any-
thing as far as buying unless.-he knows where the money is
and at this point in time he does not know where that kind of money
is. That is one of the avenues they are investigating. As far as
condeming the property that again involves legal action and he is
not about to comment upon such important legal action the Town may
get into. As afr as upzoning the property he has requested that as
long as six weeks ago because he is not only concerned with that
portion which is causing the problem now but he is also concerned
with that portion whoch coulc very well cause problems in the future.
That is an area which the Town Attorney and ,the Supervisor and the
Board and Mr. Bear as recently as this morning had discussion on.
Mr. Steve Latham addressed the Board stating he. is a member of the
law firm the three associations referred earlier have retained. He
stated he understands the delicate nature of the particular issue
and appreciates the amount of time the Board has been putting in on
this matter. He had some discussion with Town Attorney Tasker whose
opinion he respects in this matter but he is troubled by the general
nature of the discussions at this point in time. The original request
which was transmitted along with a petition of about 700 signatures
of local property owners is that the oil storage tanks are a nuisance
and the public safety and health hazards they have been causing " and
should be removed and the Town take whatever action it deemed necessary
on behalf of the residents and citizens to see that end is attained.
He believes there is a procedure the Town can adopt to do that. He
discussed- it with Mr. Tasker and he thinks they have reached agree-
ment on one thing, and that is it is an ambiguous question. There is
386
an overriding issue which he thinks the Board has to confront and
that i,,a .the f,4,ct there i.s a public hazard, there is a threat of .
continued pollut:;Lon and there 'is a threat of' continued oper:ati,on'
of resumed operation of the ,tanks by the owners and it seems to
Mr. Latham the Town should take strong position on behalf of the
property owners and institute cease and desist order and declare
that the property has been abandoned. Mr. Latham stated that there
are many affidavits that can be obtained to' demonstrate that the use
was abandoned many years ago .for a six or seven year period. He
has a difficult time understanding why the Town' s position seems to
favor more of the oil company. and the owners of the facility rather
than the 700 residents who have asked that those tanks be removed.
He asked if the Supervisor, other members of the Town Board or the
Town Attorney could discuss specifically either what action they
intend to take to see that those tanks are removed or. explain the
reason why those tanks can'- be removed because there is a very
unpleasant alternative that his clients have and that is that they
Will have to try and take some action themselves. They don' t want
to do that but there may be no other .choice.. They are. quite anxious
to work with the Town to see that. that is done. He thinks that in
view of the enormous expense -that the owners of the facility would
have to go through in order to resume operations that after initiating
a cease and desist order action they will be quite willing to negotiate
.some sort of settlement. He thinks that process can be set in motion
now at the same time investigations are being made. for obtaining
funds. He asks at this time that the Board .discuss more freely the
views that were discussed at this mornings meeting and they can get
some idea today what kind of action the Board intends to take.---
Supervisor Homan said that Mr: Latham had discussion with Mr. Tasker.
Mr... Latham said`_that_E_.the,ZTown_favok_s-the_ ,,oil company and if Mr.
Latham has any documentation for that remark he would certainly like
to have it.---Mr. Latham said he did not say that, what he suggested ,
was that there are two ways- to interpret the legal questions that
are involved here. and he discussed that with Mr. Tasker. The .thing
that troubles him is that why should -the Town be:_.offering the argu-
ments that are going to be offered by the owners of the facility
when they have been petitioned by 700 residents to have the tanks
removed. Mr. Latham' s clients are asking that the Town be a little
more agtresive on their behalf to see that the end result they all
want to see, the removal of the tanks and the creation of a more.
computable use of the site. That can't be done if the Town takes
generally a passive position on the important legal question, and
the only option available is for local citizens to take the action
on their own behalf and they don't desire to do that.---Supervirsor
Homan said that six weeks ago when he received the first petition,
and continued . to receive them for two additional meetings, that he
requested that in that petition: there be incorporated a request for
an upzoning of .the area. He does not feel the Town Board is being
passive in the situation when they recognize the direction and
ask the residents to help them.---Mt-;: ,Latham stated that he feels
the Town Attorney would advise the. Board that an upzoning of the .
property without an action in .the form of a cease and desist order
would have no affect whatsoever upon the existence of the tanks..
The key issue is whether or not the tanks can be removed. Upzoning.
does nothing to obtain the .removal of the tanks, the only way they
can be removed is through the issuance of a cease and desist order,
and declaration of abandonment. His clients are quite anxious to
join with the Town Board and will petition , the Town Board for an
upzoning should the Town Board desire it however that action is
meaningless without a corresponding action - the action -of the issuance
of a cease and desist order.---Supervisor Homan stated that according
to the information he has the time it will take to get those tanks
certified and the zoning of the additional area around it they could
have another tank farm in operation long before those tanks are
certified. He does not want to see an expansion of that type of use
in that area. There are additional industrial areas there where such.._;
a use could possibly be installed. The people who own those tanks
also own additional property in that area and as a matter of fact
a larger peice, it is his understanding, that the tank farm. If he
is really interested in using the area and it might take him a lot
longer to comply with the regulations to recertify those tanks that
he could in effect barge tanks in there and have something that would
meet all the certifications probably in a lot shorter length of time.
Therefore he is equally as concerned with the remaining area as he is
with the present problem area. He does not see either as a priority
but both as a priority.---Mr. Latham feels the urgent matter before
the Board now is to remove the existing use of the particular storage
facilities at the Mattituck Inlet and there is no disagreement at all
of submitting a petition for upzoning.
0 CT 2 3.:1979 387
Town Attorney Robert Tasker stated that he does not believe this
Board meeting is the time or place to discuss the legal. details
concerning the possible action. The . law provides for these things
to be discussed in executive session. He does not agree with the
prospect of airing all of the legal ramifications publicly what is
in essence sending a signal to the adversary. So to that extent he
would not discuss the legal implications as publicly as this meeting.
He has discussed the situation with Mr. Latham and if the Board wishes
he will discuss. it in exectuive session with them.
Mr. Latham asked if there were any other Board members who wishes to
speak on the situation.---Councilman Nickles stated he agrees with
the Town Attorney, he thinks it is inappropriate to discuss these
matters at an open meeting and suggested that the Board recess the
public portion of the meeting and go into executive session.
Mr. Pell asked Mr. Latham how long it would ,take him to get the
Board the papers on how long the operation has been out of business.--_-_ _
Mr.. Latham said he could have them by Thursday.
Justice Tedeschi concurred with Town Attorney Tasker that the legal
implications of the istuation at the Mattituck Inlet should be
discussed by the Board and Town Attorney at executive session.
He further suggested that Mr. Latham discuss with Mr. Bear the
discussion held at the morning work session between Mr. Bear,
the Town Board and Town Attorney Tasker.
Mr. Henry Lytle of the Southold-Peconic Civic Association said at
a meeting of their board of directors there was quite a discussion
about the possible fire code for the Town of Southold. They would
like to throughly review the code and requested a copy.---Supervisor
Homan said a copy could be obtained at his office.
On motion of Councilman Nickles, seconded by Councilman Drum, itwas
RESOLVED that a recess be called at 4 : 08 P.M. to reconvene following
executive session.
Vote of the Town Board:Ayes: Justice Tedeschi, Councilman Nickles,
Councilman Pell, Councilman Drum, Supervisor, Homan. Absent: Justice
Doyen.
This resolution was declared duly adopted.
EXECUTIVE SESSION - 4 : 15 P.M.
A general discussion was held relative to the feasibility of
the Town bringing an injunctive action against the operator of the
tank farm at the Mattituck Inlet. After listening to Town Attorney
Tasker it was the concensus of the Board that the likelihood of the
success of such action was remote and accordingly it was unanimously
agreed not to pursue such a course of action at this time.
The regular meeting reconvened at 4 : 50 P.M.
On motion of Councilman Pell, seconded by Councilman Nickles; it was
RESOLVED that there being no further business.. to come before this
Town Board meeting .adjournment be called at ,4 : 51 P.M.
