a thank you for contacting him about legislation that affects towers, and also a letter from Joan
Gilroy in relation to Cablevision and re-evaluation of the channel line-ups. I have since had a call
from her also, and you probably received this in the mail. Most of you probably have. But, the
way she explained it what they are doing is trying to group the same type channels together,be it
all news together on your dial, be it all romance movies, be it all game shows, so that as you go
through the channels the same type of programs are together. She also said I could share with
you that anyone that has a TV set that only goes to Channel 12, that there is a gizmo that they are
looking at to either to be sold at Radio Shack, or they will be providing, and they haven't made
that decision yet. So, if your channel only goes to 12,please, contact Cablevision, and see
what their decision is.

SEQR NEGATIVE DECL4RATION
Notice of.Determination of Non-Significance
Determination of-Significance
Lead Agency: Town of Southold
Contact: I&Bennett Orlowski,Chairman
Address: Town Hall.53095.Main Road
P.O.Box 1179
Southold,NY 11971
Date: February 29.2000
This,notice is-issued pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617 of the implementing.regulations pertaining
to Article S (State Environmental Quality Review= SEQR) of the Environmental Conservation
Law and Chapter.44 of the Town Code of the Town of Southold.
The lead agency has determined that the proposed action described below will not have a
significant effect on the environment.
Title ofAction: Steven King Change ofZone Application
S$QR Status: Unlisted.Action
Dgscription of Action: The applicant requests.a change of zone from R-40 Residence to B
General Business within the rear 140 feet of the parcel,or a total of
approximately 0.69 acres. The total site area is approximately 1.4
acres,with the majority of the northern portion of the site zoned B
General Business to a depth of 19S feet and the southern portion
zoned R-40 Residence to a depth of approximately 140 feet. The
site contains.three structures within the B.General Business zoned
portion, and the remainder of the site consists.of small arras of
concrete and unvegetated areas and is. dominated'by old field
.vegetation, The applicant has fi%dieated that the southern portion of .
the-.site has historically been utilized as overflow parking for a
variety of the cwmmerciaYretail uses that have occupied the site. In
total,.30,163 s.f,.of the property would iequire a change of zone.
1 -0 2 FEBRUARY 29, 2000 SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
At'this time, no. additional amenitiet are proposed. The-subject
zone charge site does not appear to contain ample parking to meet
needs of the commercial uses allowed on the north part of the site_
The changc of zone application will facilitate the continued use of
the southern portion of the property for parking. It should also be
noted this portion of the site does not conform to the minimum lot
size requirement within the R-40 Residence district.
Location. The project site is located on the south side of Main Road,
approximately 375' east- of Bay Avenue in Mattituck, Town of
Southold,. County of Suffolk. The property has approximately
134.15' of road frontage along Main Road and approximately 218'
of frontage on John's Road, a private right of way, to the south.
Access to the property will remain along Main Road.
SCTMNo.: 1000-122-03-06
Reasons Supporting This.Determination:
1. The application'has been reviewed pursuant to the Criteria for Determination of
Significance contained in Part 617.7. Consideration has been given to information
supplied by.the applicant,. ' The change of zone application.is anticipated to act as.a
precursor for the expansion of a parking area,.. .
2. The proposed action is.considered a minor project. The site is developed commercially
within the Gr(General Bncinem)zoned portion of the site,and the area subject to the zone
change application is vacant. This portion of the site is cleared and has.historically been
utilized as a parking area. The site.located in an area that contains a mix of residential
and commercialuses. The site does not contain any environmental features that would be
.impacted.as-a result of the change of zone application. The site is relatively flat, contains
soils conducive;#o sanitary.systems, has.on.adequate depth to groundwater, and does not
contain significant vegetation.
3. The proposed zone change is-somewhat unique in that the site is cleared and has
historically been used for parldng. The proposed zone change can be mitigated by proper
site design and landscaping. Additionally, the site does not conform to the minimum lot
size requirements for the R-40 zoning district under existing conditions, and would also-
r equirc either a front and/or rear year variance.
.4. Once zoned commercial,the applicant would require site plan review and approval and at
that time the Planning Board would require the applicant to supplement and/or create
wooded buffers along those site boundaries that abut residentially zoned parcels. Due to
'the historical use of the site as a parldng:arca and through adequate of landscaping, the
resulting impact is expected to be minimal.

GAIL WICKHAM: I would just like to thank the Board for their prompt handling of the King
application.
JACK WILLIAMS: Mr. Williams from East Marion. Two observations in the spirit of the late
Frank Carlin. One being that I am glad to see that the sharing of equipment that goes on from
town to town.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You said the late Frank Carlin?
JACK WILLIAMS: I mean he was late tonight.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I thought something had happened to him.
JACK WILLIAMS: No. I am sure he will be with us for years. That sharing of the equipment of
Easthampton, Shelter Island to Southold is the progenitor of more action towards Peconic
County.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I don't think so.
JACK WILLIAMS: My second observation has to do with the fact that as I spin the dial
occasionally I come upon Sea Span, and I watched the activities in the U.S. House of
Representatives, and I am always interested to see how many empty seats there are down there,
because it seems to me that reflects upon the quality of the legislation which is being passed.
Here I noticed that tonight Councilman Moore has been sort of expunged . His sign is not up
there, and his seat is in the back. The casual viewer might not know that there was somebody
absent here you see, and I would respectfully suggested that unless you are feeling extra crowded
up there that you just leave the chair in a position so that the viewers can tell when there is a
person who is absent from the Town Board,when it is undertaking it's actions.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I am hopeful that our residents realize who is on their Town Board.
They do elect them to office. There are times when Board members are not able to make the
evening meeting, and that is as far as I am concerned it is part of life. You don't always have a
cut and dry.. John was missing for three weeks, all three times with good reason. Last week I
was missing. I was home in bed with the flu. Tonight Bill has a personal thing.
JACK WILLIAMS: I am not questioning the reason for the action. I am just saying somebody
took the chair out.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I do it every time. Every time some one is absent I remove the
chair. I don't like see an empty chair. I like seeing a full dais up.here.
JUSTICE EVANS: I like the space.
SUPRVISOR COCHRAN: These chairs are pretty good size, and when we are all here we
squished in, and I have no problem. Mr. Moore is not here this evening. The record shows he is
absent.
JACK WILLIAMS: Should there be a weight qualification the next time they are voting for
Town Board members?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Do you have anything else to share with us, Jack? Anyone else like
to address the Town Board? We still have seven minutes.
SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD FEBRUARY 29, 2000 1 'O
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I have just have one thing I can tell the viewing public. I got
another letter, and this time it is signed by our Governor to remind us about Census 2000. They
are going to be mailed out. Everyone should be receiving their census information mid-May, and
they stress, and they keep requesting that us, as public officials, and Town leaders to keep on
promoting the fact that the Census is going to show up in your mailbox within the next couple of
weeks, to be diligent about filling them out, to make sure it gets in the mail in the month of April
and back to them. They also keep on stressing that if you know of any areas that have farm help,
and I know we have a lot of Spanish help and labor around here, but they are important to count
too. So, anybody watching this who knows of where there is housing for them, and can
communicate, or knows a way to communicate, stress the issue to everyone about this Census.
There are potential dollars there on a Federal level, the bigger the numbers. It is important issue,
and it will be in your mailbox within the next couple of weeks. Please watch for it. I am going to
be at the Greenport Chamber.next month, and Rotary has asked me to talk about it, so I will be
around trying to spread the word also. There are also jobs available if anyone is interested also.
MAN IN AUDIENCE: Can I ask a question? There has lot on the radio about Social Security
numbers; and information being stolen, and people's identity charges placed against them. Does
the Census require that you put your Social Security number down?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I don't know. I haven't seen the form yet. I can't answer that
question.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN; Legally all that information is protected, though. There is a jail
sentence and so forth if anyone from the Census Bureau divulge any of this information, which is
highly personal. I had a call from Rich McMurray today in relation to the ferries that are
running, the high speed that are running out of Glen Cove. I believe they start tomorrow. They
take an hour and forty minutes to get from Glen Cove to Connecticut, and they are landing, or
docking, at the ferry site. So, he called to let me know that the docking on the Connecticut side
was at Cross Sound Ferries docks. They are the boats that Foxwood built. They belong to
Foxwood. It is not New London. They are just using dockage, but he wanted us to know so we
had the correct information. He seems to think that it will help somewhat with the numbers that
are going out of New London, so we will wait and see before we passed judgment on that. Also,
they were required to come with a site plan, which I understand was submitted today. I haven't
verified that yet, because the Town had given them a deadline. So, hopefully, their site plan is in,
and it will help benefit the congestion that we have down there in relation to traffic. I was
amazed. I had to go to Albany a couple of weeks ago, and it is a lot of people. Okay, we have
two minutes. Many of us went into the Association of Towns. I think it was beneficial. I know I
came home with some riew thoughts and ideas. Also, I am very pleased. I was elected as Fourth
Vice President to the State Organization New York State Association of Towns, so I have been
on the Board of Directors, but I will now be serving as an Officer. I am pleased with that.
Anybody have anything they would like to add?
COUNCILMAN RICHTER:I could give you a little bit here on the first two months on the Town
Board. First of all I would like to say all the departments have'been real helpful in introducing
me to their staff. I didn't realize how many people I didn't know at Town Hall. Being involved in
some of the other organizations I thought I knew quite a few people, but I am still trying to keep
the names straight. That has been a very positive challenge, but I am enjoying it. It is beginning
to get a little bit organized. It has been challenging.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Right on time. Can I have a motion to adjourn for a public hearing?
Moved by Justice Evans, seconded by Councilman Murphy, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be recessed at this time, 8:00 P.M, for the purpose
of holding a public hearing.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Richter, Councilman Murphy, Councilman
Romanelli, Justice Evans, Supervisor Cochran.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
Meeting reconvened at 8:05
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We can move on to Resolution#13.

along. We have closings coming up in the not too near future, so things are cranking along, and
we are leveraging as much of the money as we can as far as what the County program, either
fifty-fifty or seventy-thirty projects, so it is really stretching our dollars for us. We will keep you
