Councilwoman-Elect Oliva.---The Board met with Special Counsel Frank Isler to
discuss the landfill litigation.
10:50 A.M. - The Board met with Insurance Consultant William F. Mullen, Jr. to
discuss the Town's insurance coverage. There was considerable discussion with
. regard to the deductible for the .medical. insurance policy which is currently $75,000
for any one individual per calendar year. Mr. Mullen recommended increasing the
deductible to $150,000. The Town Board., with the exception of Councilman Penny,
agreed and resolution no. 20 was placed on the agenda authorizing the increase.
Mr. Mullen informed the Board that 'the town has saved $609,000 since going to self
insurance in May of 1989.
11 :15 A.M. - For Discussion Items: (1) The proposal of Councilman Wickham
(Supervisor-Elect) to' advertise for a Town Attorney met with considerable opposition
from Supervisor Harris, Councilman Penny, and Councilman Lizewski. Councilman
Penny said he would support it if it did not mean eliminating the full-time Assistant
Town Attorney position. Councilman' : Wickham said: he was not prepared to promise
that there would be both a Town Attorney and Assistant Town Attorney next year.
Supervisor Harris said this matter should be dealt with by the new administration.
He is perfectly happy with the current Town Attorney and Assistant Town Attorney.
Councilman Lizewski wanted to see a specific salary in the ad, and whether or not
the new Town Attorney could maintain an outside practice. Although Councilman
Wickham asked that the proposed resolution be placed on the regular meeting
agenda, Supervisor Harris said he would not permit it; furthermore, there were not
enough votes to pass :such a resolution. (2) Appointment of a Building Inspector -
discussed at 12:30 R.M. in Executive Session. (3) Set $25.00 for issuance of a
Certificate of Determination and Certificate of Compliance (see resolution no. 21) .
(4) Letter from James Dolce, Legal Coordinator for the NYS Office of Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation, objecting to the fees charged to non-residents
at the Norman Klip'p Marine Park. After considerable discussion, it was the
consensus of the Board that the fees are reasonable. (5) Memorandum from
Building Inspector Thomas Fisher asking that the Board consider increasing the fee
for Certificates of Occupancy that are over and under five years old. Assistant
Town Attorney Kiernan will prepare a Local Law for the regular meeting (no. 22)
increasing the fees !to $20.00. (6) Memorandum from Planning Board Chairman
Richard Ward requesting an amendment to the Zoning Code exempting two-family
dwellings from site plan review (see resolution no. 23) . (7) Appointment of a Clerk
in the Tax Receiver',s office was discussed during Executive Session at 12:30 P.M.
(8) Councilwoman Hussie and Councilman Wickham reported on a recent meeting with
a representative of the NYS-DEC concerning the Fishers Island Metal Dump. Since
the money to clean-up and restore the site is not in the budget, nor is a bond in
place, the Board will hold this for further discussion wiIh Justice Edwards at the
December 7th meeting.

SUPERVISCR HARRIS: We have finished resolutions for the evening, and before
we adjourn are there any members of the audience that would like to address this
Board on any matter pertaining to Town business you feel we should have interest
in?
FRANK CARLIN: Mr. Carlin. Laurel. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the
Board. I have a quick question for Councilwoman Hussie, and then I'll get on with
my main issue this evening. It was in the newspaper, that the Landfill permit fees,
you know you dropped them from $25.00 to $5.00, but yet it said in the newspaper,
and I'll read it as it said in the newspaper, a 1 .2% increase in the tax next year for
midland Southold residents. The average household increase will be $9.44 in 1994.
What are you trying to do here? Give us with one hand, and take it back with the
other. I can't believe this. You said to drop it down to $5.00. Then you come
along, and you say; well, we're going to .increase your taxes $9.44, so actually you
only reduced it to �15.00. Would you correct me on this? Is this wrong or what?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I'm going to defer to the Supervisor.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: What you stated in the paper was correct, Frank. That
is correctly stated in the .paper they way you read it.
FRANK CARLIN: That's no deal then. You're only giving us $15.00 instead of $5.00.
You got it down to ':.$5.00, but then you're going to jack us out of taxes for $9.44,
so what's the deal? i There's no deal. Thanks a lot. Okay, I see the Stewardship
Committee is involved in this. I'd like to, ask Attorney Harvey this question. I'm
not an attorney, but I do know something about the constitution. Being with your
skill, and your knowledge, and ability, I know you'll give me a 'fair and honest
answer. Now. Case; A, and case B. Case A will be McDonald's. Case B will be Burger
King. Now, let's start. We know that McDonald's wanted to have a drive-through
window. We all know this. The Zoning Board of Appeals studied this for a year,
and finally they came up and said, no. You can not have the drive-through, but
you can have your restuarant. So far, right?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: That's. my recollection. That's correct.
24 NOVEMBER 23., 1993
FRANK CARLIN: McDonald's says; no. We don't want it. Fine, it was dropped.
Now, Burger King comes along, and says, we don't want a drive-through window,
and they would confirm to more or less what McDonald's said. They care about
garbage, . build a building something Like a house. If there's enough wrong, we still
don't want it. Now;, to me, it's im black and white, that if you agree on something
in certain conditions with one company, another company comes along, wanting the
same setup with no�drive-through, and you're going to say, well, maybe you might
not be able to get it, isn't that a little bit of discrimination there, or constitution
involved there? What do you think?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF.: I don't think that's what happened, Mr. Carlin.
FRANK CARLIN: What happened?
TOWN ATTORNEY 'ARNOFF: As far as the Burger King application, that's pending.
That's correct. It didn't happen.
FRANK CARLIN: It didn't happen yet.
TOWN ATTORENY ARNOFF: That's my point, so you're asking about a state of
fact that don't exist.
FRANK CARLIN: Okay.
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: Now, you're asking for my opinion on: a state of facts,
that don't exist, is that right? -I just want to be sure. You treat every applicant
fairly. That's your response. That's the duty of this municipality.
FRANK CARLIN: That's what I want to hear.
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: And with the same fairness to anyone else that comes
before us, be they cooperations, individuals, or whatever.
FRANK CARLIN : That's all I 'rant to know. Now, as of notice in the newspaper,
the Planning has said, petitions such as addressed issues, such as traffic, noise,
lighting, and signs, and have been uumljletely addressed. was completely addressed
by this applicant, more carefully than any other applicant as per Planning Board.
They studied this very carefully, and yet the Planning Board comes up and says
there is no Environmental Impact file. The Zoning Board of Appeals says, being
as you don't want a ur.ive-through window, this .was in the newspaper, too, awhile
back, being as you don't want a drive-through window, with 93% -approval of this.
What's the big deal there? Why do we begrudge one fast-food restaurant in this
town, when you've got about fifteen. .Vm- not blaming the Board on this. You've got
three 7-11's. You got delis. You got' a . Subway. You've got all kinds of operations
going in here, and yet you deprive one fast food restaurant, and there's the ques-
tion that comes in the newspaper, that the impact will have on the community
character. What community impact with be on the community character, if we have.
one fast food restaurant in this town? What kind of a statement is that to tell the
paper? The people will leave the restuarant with trash, and will take it home. Who
cares? That's their problem. Number one is, there won't be a drive-through, so
95%, or maybe 80%, or 95%, the food will be ate in there, and it will be disposed
of there. What kind of a person is.that to try to use as a crutch to say we don't
want a McDonald's in Southold Town? Get ready for pizza, taco, Roy Rogers, and
a Wendy's like Route 58. Southold will never look like Route 58.WeYenot going to
be -overdeveloped. We're never going to overdevelop here. Never worry about Southold
being. like Route 58.. There will not be more than one fast food restaurant that will
want to come in, because the town can't support more than one fast food restaurant
here. Let's be practical about this thing. We're talking sense now. We're not talking
for our own means here. In fact, the one about development, overdevelopment, the
fact that in 1988 we had 1 ,400 more people here, than we have right today in 1993.
So, we're not overdeveloping here. We are not overdeveloping in .Southold Town.
What environmental impact? Well, the impact of a fast food restaurant has in this
town. I don't understand these people. What environmental impact? You got restau-
rants. all over the place in this town. Like I said before you got deli's. You go
through the properties, some of these places are filled with garbage. What environ-
mental impact will one fast food restaurant? Why are we denying a fast food restau-
rant in this town? I want to express one thing before I go any further. I do not
hold stock in the company. We worry about things what we shouldn't worry about,
and the things we should we don't. Now, Mr. Wickham, you said, I have no problem
with a fast food outlet being built in Southold providing it comfirms with the Planning
Board, and Zoning requirements. Well, the Planning Board already said that it had
NOVEMBER 23, 1993 25
no environmental impact. The Zoning Board of'`Appeals says, no drive-through. Looks
like it's alright for ''me.' What are we waiting for? You got to say that I've -been
in many a fast food; restaurants in Riverhead. I don't live in there, but I go to
them once in awhile; with my, wife, and I always see somebody there from the East
End coming in therewith their children, or their grandchildren, and you going. to
tell me that all the people in this town are against the fast food restaurant, that
their grandchildren; or children, wouldn't want to drive into one close by? I don't
believe it. I don't believe it. We went through this once before, this study, a year
ago, over a year, that the Zoning Board studied this. So, there's no need for any
more study. We know what we want here. We know what we got here. Zoned for
business, and what's one fast food restaurant, that's going to have on the effect
on this community. I'd like to see how many are against this, that I see driving
in there. As far as the Stewardship Committee getting involved in thing, I don't
think they should be involved in it. They was involved in this, and in the newspaper
as well. I don't think they should be involved in this. I don't think they should
make decisions on what we need in this town. I think the Town Board should do
that, and I say to Mr. Wickham, it's, going to be interesting to see how you wear
your shoes. If you wear them, and walk in them, backwards, or forwards. You
said this statement here, and let's see now what you're going to do. I'm asking you
another question, Tom. I'm not trying. to pick on you. What I'm saying to you right
now, it's going to be, interesting, who's going to run this Town Board next year,
you or your Stewardship Committee? Let's make and keep it that way, all right?
Sometimes committees can be dangerous. They got too much power. I'm not against
development in this ;town. I never was against wineries going up. Fine, more wineries
I'm not against wineries. Have wineries go up. Go ahead. More power to them.
I'm not against none' of that. But they want to put up one simple fast food restau-
rant. . l never forget anything that happens (tape malfunction.) This reminds of
Florida. This will be. your message what I'm trying to say here. This reminds me
of Florida. Some of the Northern people, that always going to retire, and they're
going to go Florida., It's a nice state to live 'in. The cost of living is going up.
So, they go Florida ;and they get bored. Nothing to do. The don't play golf. A lot
of them do, but to get into politics, .you see? So, then their community they want
everything their way. Do you see what I'm driving at? They want everything their
way, although you can't have that. We don't want that. You can't have that. It
reminds me about here. The peopie retire from the city, and say, well, we'll go
out to Southc!d Town. It's a nice quiet town, urban, nice, quiet, peaceful. They
come out here, build a house; young fellow comes in, builds along side of him, starts
a home occupation, has a truck in his driveway. Oh, you can't do that. That's making
the neighborhood look bad. Do you know what I'm driving at? I tell you what John
Stype said one night here over a year ago at one meeting. He said, if you don't
like it move back, and it was said once by. .somebody told me, I moved out here
in Mattituck to spend a nice, peaceful, and this is the way I want to keep it. Well,
there's your answer. I, also, have lived here for forty years, and I want to see
some kind of development, not overdevelopment, at least one fast food restaurant.
There's nothing wrong with it. Why is this threatening, lawsuits, and all this jazz,
environment. What environment? There's no such thing as an environment. If it's
an environment impact on one fast food restaurant, like I said one other night here,
you should close them all down .all over the world.
COUNCILWOMAN HUi,SSIE: Mr. Carlin, may I reply to your question to me orignally?
FRANK CARLIN: Did you think about it?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I thought I would give Scott the opportunity to give the
answer because we had a little bit of an arguement about this during the Budget
proceedings. When I suggested that the sticker fee be reduced, it was based on
the fact that we had a little bit of overage in the bag prices, a quarter of a cent,
as I think I mentioned to you once before: That added up to about $75,000.00. We
got in from the sticker fees, roughly, a little more than $100,000.00 at $25.00 a piece.
Taking the 75 from 'the overage on the bags, the $5.00 that the new fee would be
that brought us up to $100,000.00. As far as I'm concerned that's a wash. The rest
of the Board was nervous with that math, and put some more money into the Solid
Waste District budget, and that's why .there is that addition.
FRANK CARLIN: Well, we know that the bag system is going to bring in about
$2,000,000.00, or maybe a $1 ,500,000.00. In other words it will pay for itself of
about $100,000.00 to carry the garbage out of town at 59.48 per ton. It will cost
the town to carry their garbage. One hundred thousand dollars to carry it out.
We know we collect 'it on the bags, right? They're very expensive now to start with,
and you tell the people, this is my arguement, I hate somebody to give me something,
and take it back with another hand.. You tell somebody you reduce the fees from
$25.00 to $5.00, and then all of a sudden you're behind the door, and you say, zap,
we're going to charge you on your taxes $9.44, and never saying that before you
come up with this idea. To me I don't think that's good business.
2 6 NOVEMBER 23, 1993
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: That was not my tactic in the first place.
FRANK CARLIN: Then it was the Board's tactic, so we have to blame them.
i
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: As a group.
FRANK CARLIN: You're taking it from one. hand, giving with one hand, and taking
it back with the other, so instead of. .we're saying that instead of $5.00 we're paying
$15.00 because we're paying $10.00 in our taxes. It's the same thing, if you're
paying it when you go to the dump. Right? So,' instead of $5.00, we're not $5._00,
we're saying it's $15.00. Well, thanks a lot, Board. Thanks a lot. I said to my
wife, before I die, ;that could be any time, who knows, nobody knows when they're
going to die, I'm going to see a fast food restaurant in Mattituck, but I slipped on
the McDonald's one ' because I didn't get on the Board till the last minute, but there's
no reason why we can't have on, because it will be used by a lot of people if they -
know what I'm talking about. And you. knor. something else? I never could .under-
stand why we 'didn't want one. It took me a long time for the lights to flash in my
mind, but I understand now why we don't want them In Mattituck. I'll never tell
you why, but I know why. Maybe you know why, but I'll never tell you. I know
why we don't want ;one in Mattituck. . You'd be surprised if I were tell you why.
And as far as carrying the trash out of the facility, and throwing it on the road,
you can't blame any fast food restaurant for that. We must blame ourself for that.
We're the ones that; do that, and I don't blame you, Scott, for not pushing this any-
more than you did, because you couldn't. You realize that technically it was no
use. Technically there's no reason why it couldn't be done. I agree with you, that
you couldn't do anything more about it. So, why don't these people on these boards
just give it up, and let it happen. Let's see what happens. Give it a try. We got
plenty of pizzas. We qot delis. Like I said, we got fifty pizzas in Southold Town.
We got three 7-1 i's. 'What's one fast food recta-rant going to do to Southold-: Town's
garbage? Let's be real and reasonable about it, and 1'11 debate anybudy who they
are, any organization, .whatever they want at any time of hours, and that is the
Stewardship Committee, and the EnvironMental North Fork agency, because they're
the two that's always fighting it. Anytime they .want. Let's go at it at any place
with no narrator, one on one, because I'm sick and tired of it. I've lived here long
enough, so I know fair and square. When you have kids, that like the McDonald's
marching up and down in this Town Hall, with signs saying something like down with
McDonald's, or whatever it was for me, forget it. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Frank, have a. Happy Thanksgiving.
FRANK CARLIN: And all you, too.
BESSIE SWANN: I 'just realized that Thanksgiving is approaching, 'and I might not
have an opportunity to thank you, Scott and George, for your continued support
of our programs, and efforts, during your tenure on the Board. Thank you on
behalf of our agencies.
SUPERVISOR HARR'IS: Thank you, Bessie. It's been our pleasure. Ruth?
RUTH OLIVA: Ruth Oliva. I just wanted to give you a very brief report on a very
interesting workshop I went to, that was held by the New York Department of State
on the division of Coastal Resources and Waterfront Revitilization. Gail Schaffer,
the Secretary of State was there, and it's a most interesting workshop, because they
are looking for recommendations for the Long Island Sound Coastal Management, and
they had concurrent workshops on the developed coast, the public coast, and the
working coast, and 1 was interested in attending the one on the working coast,
because Mattituck. Inlet is the only one in our town, that has been designated as
as maritime center, because we have the only port, really, between Port Jefferson,
of course, and way out to the east. They were glad to do a Harbor Management
Plan for Mattituck Inlet, especially now that we have bought with the State the Carey
Tank Farms. There is a possibility perhaps acquiring the asphalt tanks. There's
a possibility of perhaps receiving some money to clean up some other commercial
areas, or adding incentives to people, that have commercial areas, that perhaps
could be spruced Up to make it a very .viable -inlet. combining commercial, recreational,
and residential areas. They are also very interested in acquiring the Brecknock
Hall property, and Dam Pond property, as probably for beach access, and just
sensitive environmental areas. I'm sorry that Judge Edwards isn't here, because
NOVEMBER 23, 1993
27
they're interested in Fishers Island also. We could make comments on these in the
next weeks. I think it's a very valuable resource, and hopefully the State will put
their money where their mouth is, because it is very important. They're really
interested in preserving the coastline of Long Island ,Sound, and they are working
in conjunction with 'the EPA designation, the Waterfront Revitalization Program, the
Open Space Program of New York State, and hopefully will be able to work with them,
and see that Southold gets it's fain share this time from some organization, that we
can improve our natural coastline, and public access, and make a good accommodation
with Mattituck Inlet. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, Ruth. Anybody else at this time? (No response.)
Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilman Penny, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
