9:15 A.M. - Vito Competiello and Bob Yaccarino, the Town's Labor Relations
Consultants, Lois Atkinson and Andy Ruroede, President and Vice President of the
CSEA, and James Henck, CSEA Labor Relations Specialist, all met with the Town
Board for the signing 'of the 1994-95 CSEA Contract (see resolution 31) .
9:40 A.M. - Councilwoman Hussie spoke to the Board about renewed interest in a
Southold Electric Company. She asked them to consider updating the feasibility'
study done in 1985 by R.W. 'Beck which analyzed the take over of LILCOfacilities
in Southold Town. Councilwoman Hussie reviewed the progress of the Massena
Electric Company where the total savings to the ratepayer has exceeded $43 million
in the 12 years of operation - $8 million in 1993 alone. Councilman Townsend
suggested the project be studied on a regional basis, both the North and South
Forks. Supervisor ' Wickham asked that reassurance be given that we can buy
electricity below the market cost. He asked that Councilwoman Hussie invite
individuals Jo the next meeting who can speak on feasibility and procedure, and
someone from Southampton where this is also being considered.
10:25 A.M. - Discussion on a transfer station (in attendance was Solid Waste
.Coordinator Jim Bunchuck) . Supervisor Wickham suggested that the Board refer
to the . Solid Waste Task Force an analysis of the options available to the Town in
regard to the transfer process and transfer facilities for both MSW and CSD. He
would Like the Task Force to define the technical parameters and make a
recommendation to the Board. Secondly, last year Dvirka & Bartilucci prepared-
technical plans and a permit application to the DEC for a Transfer Station. The
Town has not submitted it to the DEC as yet. Councilwoman Hussie said that she
goes on record objecting to the fact that the plans have not been submitted to the
DEC. She feels the plans of DSB should be submitted to the DEC, stating that we
know they want a regional approach, but this is the Town of Southold's proposal.::
Supervisor Wickham suggested that if the proposal is to continue with a transfer,
station in Cutchogue, the Task Force should be asked to give greater specificity,
on the layout and design.
10:55 A.M. - Fishers Island Metal Dump. Supervisor Wickham and Justice Evans
reported on their meeting with the DEC to discuss the Town's options in closing the
metal dump. Two representatives of Fagan Engineering were in attendance.
Basically they were told they must work within the established DEC framework for
landfill closure projects. This would require a closure investigation report which
for this specific project would center around the hydrogeological investigation of the
landfill. Such a report would require installation of at least two new, groundwater
monitoring wells. Upon review of the closure investigation report findings, , the
Town would be in a position to complete a final closure plan for submission to the
DEC. As a result of the meeting, Dennis Fagan will provide the Town with an
estimate- of the likely costs of removing surface material, covering the site with soil
and closinq in that way. --Following this discussion, Councilwoman Hussie distributed
a summary of the bids for the removal of Solid Waste and CS D which were opened
on May 26th.. She. asked all Board members to review the bids. A resolution to
accept the lowest bidder will be on the June 14th agenda.
11 :10 A.M. - Donald Grim met with the Town Board to discuss his request to locate
a watchman trailer on his Oregon Road Recycling Center property in Cutchogue.

SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Tonight's meeting, we have a series of things. We
begin with some recognition of the Landmark Preservation Commission, and
some of the people and houses are on their register. We have a series of
resolutions, and we have some public hearings. I'd like to begin with the
recognition of some people on our Landmark Preservation Commission. Some
of you may know that have in the town a Landmark Preservation Commission,
and this is an ideal opportunity to talk about it, because this is Landmark
Preservation Month, the month of May nationally. Not only this town, .but
several towns are taken considerable pains, and some resources to try to
preserve the heritage, and some of the architectural parts of that
heritage. The Town of Southold,, we not only attempt to preserve the
buildings, and some of the architecture,,,:, but in recent weeks the Town
Board at the request of the Commission has expanded the scope of the
Commission, and asked that it also look at sites of architectural
significance, and historic districts for not only houses, and buildings, but
also some of the sites, and some of the districts. With that background, I
should say that the Town does keep a register of historic landmarks in the
town. Those buildings which have been designated by the Board upon
recommendation of the Commission of particular significance to our culture,
history, and what we would like our offspring in the future to think back of
the town, and the guidance that these buildings in a sense show for the
future. We have two of those houses tonight to so honor, to be exceeded,
and added to our register, and we have members of the Commission tonight,
and I'd like very briefly to draw attention to some of them. The Chairman,
John Stack, we have Ralph Williams. There's Ralph in the back. Bob
Kassner, who is here. Cliff Benfield, who's here, and Bob Bayley,
and John Page. Since Bob Bayley is an architect, and therefore better
qualified then I am to talk about the buildings, there are two buildings,
that we are here to talk about. One of them owned by Mr. Frank
McIntosh, and the other by Mr. Seidman in Orient. Bob I think you'd be
better able to discuss these than I would. Would you like to 'outline why
they brought to our attention, and what makes them so significant.
ROBERT BAYLEY: This house on the right here is Frank McIntosh's
house, and Frank is sitting to my left over here. This is Mr. Nathan
Seidman's house. This house is in Greenport on the Main Road. This
house is in East .Marion on the Main Road, Orient. Interestingly, many of
the oldest and finest houses in our town happen to be on the Main Road,
which is not a coincidence, because the Main Road is, in fact, where the
town really developed first. What I'm going to do is, I'm going to read a
description of the two houses, and then we'll continue with other business,
so if I may I'm going to read you a one page description of the McIntosh
house, and then we're going to have Frank McIntosh come up. The
McIntosh house is most distinguished in the -way its destiny has been
shaped by two of the most prominent North Fork families, the Youngs and
the Floyds, . both of which occupied this house. When viewed from the Main
Road opposite its intersection with Manhasset Avenue, the house appears
today as a grand Victorian cottage. It stretches fully 60 feet across its
front with a depth of about 40 feet. It has a long gable end roof extending
the full length of the structure over the second story. Attic space formed
in the triangular cross section by the long gable roof is further punctured
by three evenly spaced roof dormers. There are other elements including
porches, balconies and a port-co-chere with railings, trim and general
eclectic detailing all suggesting that most of what one sees today on the
surface dates to 1800's Victorian Era. Yet from a historical viewpoint it is
the interior of the western most portion of the house that captures our
attention for it is framed of major timbers in post and beam fashion which
318 MAY 31, 1994
is characteristic of house construction in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The supporting posts of this frame are spaced about ten feet apart across
two bays at the front of the house and eighteen feet apart in the other
direction. These posts taper inward increasing in size to the second floor
from a projection of 6 3/4" at the floor to 9 1/2" at the ceiling. Because
of this taper one might expect to find roof rafters notched into the framing
at this point. Such is not the case, however. There is a second story,
then a roof above that constructed of hand hewn raters and collar ties
joined in mortise and tenon fashion suggesting that .the first floor was not
constructed contiguously with the second floor. Historical writings
generated over the past several hundred years pinpoint the location of a
substantial post-and-beam house nearby at the head of Sterling Creek built
by Colonel John Youngs (a son of the Reverend John Youngs, a town
founder) in 1688. So, we're looking at a house here, that goes back quite a
ways. In fact, the earlier section here is most certainly very, very early.
We don't know the date for sure, but there is a lot evidence indicating that
it does go back to the 1600's. By 1826, ten year after then current owner
Deacon Thomas Youngs died, the substantial home was said to be "sawn
asunder" as necessitated when the homestead was divided among the four
sons of Deacon Youngs. One section of the house was said to moved
intact to the farm of Joshua P. Youngs on Main Road at the head of
Sterling Lane (now Manhasset Ave) . If this house is the western-most
portion of the McIntosh house then it should bear close similarity to that
portion of the house left behind at the head of Sterling Creek. The
remaining portion of the Youngs "Old Homestead" remained in the family
until about 1901 when it too was moved, this piece ending up on lot 17 at
Champlin Place in Greenport and the present home of Frank Coyle. A
close examination and comparison of the McIntosh and Coyle attics does,
in fact, show many similarities while there remain inconsistencies. Both
attics are shaped with the same .roof slope and similar spans and have very
similar cross-sectional timber dimensions, however there are important
differences. For example, the collar ties measure W-3" from the bottom of
the tie to the ridge of the roof in the McIntosh house and 5'-6 1/2" from
the bottom of the tie to the .ridge of the Coyle house. Both attics show
thatching purlins let into the rafters but in the McIntosh attic they
measured 1/2" by 4 to 5" at 1'-3" on center spacing and in the Coyle they
measure 1 1/2" by 3 1/21 at 1'-1" spacing. Nevertheless the detailing is
very similar as is the. workmanship. Perhaps the two section of attic were
built on either side of a central chimney long since demolished. If the two
houses were once located ,on the Youngs "Old Homestead" then it is the
western most portion (8. bays of 30'-3" in length) that is today the western
portion of the McIntosh house and the eastern portion (6 bays of 25'-1" in
length) that is the Coyle house. There are Roman Numeral marks"1111"
in the fourth rafter from the west, "V" in fifth rafter and "VI" in the
sixth rafter of the McIntosh attic and it is the eastern wall (the side
cut) where the McIntosh has been added to. Further exploration should be
undertaken in the first floors and cellars of both residences to examine
similarities and differences. So, as you can tell from reading this, as far
as some of it, if not all of it that I read to you, there is a great deal of
intricacy, and a lot to look at in this house.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Frank, it, gives me great pleasure, and on. behalf
of the Town Board, who are all here, it is a pleasure for me to present to
Frank J. McIntosh, the structure has been designated a landmark has
contributed significantly to the heritage of Southold Town. I know that
there's quite a bit of sacrifice involved with an old home like this. I
live in one myself, and have most of my life, and you're always kind of
worrying how to keep the thing up, but yet maintain the quality, and the
integrity of the original architecture of the house. Just personally, and on
behalf of the Board I just want to say that I'm very grateful, and I think
we all are for the contribution you made.
FRANK MCINTOSH: I thank you, and all the people who worked on this
marvelous house. I thank you. very much.
ROBERT BAYLEY: Next we're going to focus on a house, which is
considerably newer, or later in date. It's located in Orient, and it is, in
fact, a very fine finely detailed Victorian house, which also like the first
house that we talked about has some interesting contradictions, or
interesting innovations, if you would, that you wouldn't expect in a house
like this. I'll read it, and then we can move on. The Seidman residence
MAY 31 , 1994 319
is a large prominent two story wood frame Victorian eclectic style house
located on the north side of Main Road ( Route 25) nearly opposite the
junction of Narrow River Road with Main Road. It sits majestically on it
site majestically on its site flanked by several large weeping beech trees.
Behind the house is a large mortise and tenon barn with a stone cellar and
an adjoining carriage shelter also built in the Victorian era. There is a
more recently constructed rental house located behind the main residence
and slightly in front of and to the west of the barn. The main structure is
basically rectangular measuring about thirty by forty feet with its long
side facing Main Road. It has a gable roof with two asymmetrical dormers
intersecting the roof and projecting south towards the road. The classical
dormer to the west extends up two stories and is capped by a massive broad
pediment. The dormer to the east projects out on one story only into an
engaged partial-wrap-around, classically-detailed porch at grade. This
dormer is echoed on the second floor by two Gothic style windows capped by
a steep narrow pediment. Such exuberant asymmetry with strong angular
plane intersections and blending of detailing styles is characteristic of
the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century when balloon framing, millwork
technology and industrial production methods allowed carpenters a wide
range of possibilities to express their skills. The house is entered in the
center of the partial-wrap-around •porch. A grand center hall measuring
about eight feet by twenty-three feet divides the main house into a living
room to the west and a dining room to the east. A spacious stair at the
back of this hall takes one to the second floor bedrooms. To the rear of
the hall and dining room are additions :of more recent vintage functioning as
kitchen, studio and bathroom. There: is another addition to the west of the
living room serving as a bedroom. '' Curiously, the two principal rooms, the
living room and the dining room, have different trim detailing, proportions
and window treatment yet they each have elaborately detailed fireplaces on
their outside walls with identical detailing which reinforces the argument
that these two spaces with grand hallway and stairway between leading to
bedrooms above comprised the original house. However, there is a cellar
only under the dining room and center hall portion of the house and the
cellar walls are constructed of field stone not cut granite or brick
suggesting a much earlier construction date for the cellar. The Seidman
house appears to be adopted to this cellar. A check of a map dating 1872
which probably predates the present house shows a house at this .,site with
the name "J. H. Young". Further investigation of this thesis would 'be
interesting. So, again, this house which on the surface looks like a
typical, although grand and lovely built house, has some interesting
features, which would be worthwhile pursuing further, namely to look at the
early construction of the cellar, and to try and see further what may have
been on that site. So, I think, Tom, if you want to take it' 'from here.
Thank you. Mr. Seidman, I'm sorry would you come forward, please?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: You know the award isn't to a building. It to a
human being, and people who have made contributions and sacrifices, who've
put money into 'the work you done. It's just a great thing. . It means
something to the Town. The structure has been designated a Landmark
which contributes significantly to the heritage of the town.
NATHAN B. SEIDMAN: It was worth the time and the effort that was
spent. I, of course, thank the Board for following through, and we're
having a wonderful time in the house.
JOHN STACK: The second portion is our opportunity to say a little thank
you to some people in the town, who have done a marvelous job of trying to
work, and we know it's not an easy thing to do. These awards are given to
recognize these efforts' of the people who want to protect the architectural
heritage that we enjoy in Southold Town. So, I would like to read the first
one, and then have the people come, and receive their awards. The Pat and
Bill Milford House. Studies of this house indicate that it was originally
composed of two parlors separated by a central chimney stack and a kitchen
running the 30 feet across the back. This floor plan is found in many early
Southold houses. The now-exposed hand-hewn beams still show the smoke
stains of the central fireplaces, especially in the kitchen area. The
general structure of the house has been carefully preserved during its many
alterations, thereby revealing much of its rich history. Tapered corner
posts are preserved, and wind braces remain in the front corners of both
parlors. Wind-brace remains also show that the original windows were
narrower _than today's but were situated on both sides of the front door,
320 MAY 31 , 1994
similar to the present arrangement. Floor' sleepers are oak, flattened on
top to hold the. floorboards but with the bark left on the rest of the wood.
Notches to accommodate "dust stops" are seen in these sleepers. Both
notches and bark indicate a mid-to-late-1700 date. Bill and Pat Milford
acquired the house 22 years ago and have continued to restore and improve
the house. When a house has been lived in continually for over 200 years,
history and fashion dictate changes. This house shows the effect of
Victorian influences. Changes in houses very often indicate the relative
prosperity of its owners and styles of the period. The Milfords
recognizes the value of these changes and dealt with them with compassion
and good taste. Some of the changes made by the Milfords during their
tenure include. exposing the beams, posts and braces as well as floor
.boards. This old wood gives a warm feeling to the rooms displaying the. .
history of the house. A fireplace was added on the south wall. Footings
were improved and the house was spruced up. Some tasteful additions were
made in the rear and a beautiful wraparound porch was recently completed.
Indeed, the love and care shown by Pat and Bill Milford demonstrate in the
best way what our Preservation Award is all about. By preserving their
house they share its historical wealth with the rest of Southold Town. Bill
and Pat if you would come up and receive this ward.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Pat, Bill, this is the Southold Town Preservation
Award presented to Bill and Pat Milford for the restoration and preservation
of their home.
JOHN STACK: The second presentation award goes to the Henry W. Prince
Building. It's owned by the Southold Historical Society. Ninety years ago,
two young Southold Civil War veterans, who were friends, Henry W. Prince
and G. Frank Hommel, built two attached brick stores with spacious
upstairs 'living quarters under one roof. The boundary line of these
properties lay under the center of the dividing wall. Henry W. Prince's
General Store on the east side, thrived and grew as did his family and his
business interests. In 1900 Henry was also a distributor for Long Island
Gaselene Lamps. He placed one in front of the store and it "lit up the
whole business section". of Southold. That year he bought the other half of
the property from his friend. The red. brick store on Main Road has housed
a myriad of businesses, which when listed by themselves tell a story of a
developing American community. The :list includes, general store, oyster
"saloon", post office, Southold, Peconic and Cutchogue's first Telephone
Exchange,, furniture store, Grange Hall, fraternal meeting hall, office
supply store, clothing store, shoe store, restaurant, TV repair shop, copy
center and finally Southold Historical Society's headquarters. That's a lot
of history. In 1989, with donated funds, the Southold Historical Society
purchased the red brick _ building and in short time restored its facade by
reconstructing the long open porch in keeping with the history and period
of the building and creating a spirit of openness to the community. Windows,
roof, plumbing, heating, and many other repairs were a reaction to the need
at the moment. With Henry Prince's original sign reinstalled overhead, the
double store held the historical society's office and historical archives in
one side and its museum shop in the other. In 1994, by the grace of a
generous gift from the estate of a deceased member plus the unlimited
dedication of its leadership and volunteers, the historical society
accomplished an "impossible dream" for. the Prince Building. Following the
gutting of the second floor, a steel beam raised the floor and strengthened
the building structurally. The second floor, with new lighting, heating,
plumbing, air conditioning, partitioning, stair lift, decoration etc.,
provides space and proper .conditions for archives preservation artifact
storage. Below in the west tore is the society's office, its computers and a
reception area for visitors. The east .store is the renovated Museum Shop,
which will display furniture and artifacts that otherwise might have been
kept in storage. With the recent care and changes, the Prince Building is
now preserved as; an authentic part, of Southold's streetscape as it was in
1874. Because of their number, it would be virtually impossible to
recognize all of the individuals who made this happen. Therefore the
Southold Historical Society and its leadership deserve the community's
recognition and gratitude for keeping The Prince Building a living part of
Southold history. It is with great pleasure that the Southold Town
Landmark Commission presents this Preservation Award to an organization
that so well espouses 'the highest ideals of preservation.
MAY 31 , 1994 321
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: This is the Southold Town Preservation Award
presented to the Southold Historical Society , for the restoration and
preservation of The Prince Building. I wonder if there are family members
of the Prince family here tonight, who could also join in our celebration.
Mr. Prince, would you like to come up here? The building is the heart of
the people who have owned it, and lived in it, and worked with it over the
years, and it's a pleasure for me to acknowledge you, Mr. Fred Prince, and
you, .Mr. Robert Pettit, as a representative of The Southold Historical
Society. Do you have any comments you could make briefly about the
building?
FRED PRINCE: The Historical Society has done a wonderful job down there,
and it's real nice.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: It's a pleasure to have you here.
JOHN STACK: The third and last award is the John and Denyse Whitehead
House. While driving along Route 25 in East Marion early in 1991, John and
Denyse Whitehead notice a For Sale sign on a small Victorian cottage.
Nearing retirement, they had dreamed of finding just such a charming old
house in the country that they could restore. By July of 1991 they were
the new owners of what the Whiteheads call "Tranquility", and now, three
years later, they are nearly finished with the long process of reconstruct,
restoration and renewal. By researching old deeds and by interviewing
people. familiar with the house, the Whiteheads have identified the earliest
owner as Daniel E. Clark, who owned .the;,house in 1858. It is thought that
Daniel Clark had been a local cobbler. Other reported owners of the house
are William and Lydia Bowditch, Sarah Vail, Ida Thompson Beringer,
A. Deserud and, finally, Mrs. Deserud's daughter, Barbara
Hoisington. While Mrs. Vail owned the house back in the late 1800's, one
of her daughters became engaged to be married. As the story is told, to
show that the stone in her new ring was a genuine diamond,, she went to
her bedroom window overlooking the road and scratched her first initial,
last name and the date, May 8, 1890, into one of the panes. 101 years
later, when the Whiteheads bought ,the house, it had been empty for three
years. The interior was in utter disrepair, the kitchen floor, which had
locust supports, had collapsed, and much of the delicate vergeboard
decorative trim had rotted. Except for some local craftsmen's assistance,
the owners, with occasional help from relative, did all the work. Today the
house and several outbuildings are nearing complete restoration. From the
outside you see a delightful Victorian cottage wearing its gingerbread
finery with quiet dignity. The interior of the house is completed and
faithfully decorated in the Victorian style. All the interior work,
including cabinetry in the kitchen, ceramic and mosaic tile on the bathroom
floor and the paint on the ceiling, was done by the Whiteheads. This
project, they. report, is their first restoration. If the Whiteheads would
come up to receive their awards.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: On behalf of the Town Board of the Town of
Southold, it's a great pleasure to award the Southold Town Preservation
Award to Mr. and Mrs. John Whitehead for your first restoration, did I
hear? It's a pleasure to have you. Houses of Southold, this is a list of
the houses, that the Commission has prepared some time ago of those who
were on the Register, and I have copies here for all of those who are
awarded tonight. John, it's a pleasure to have you on board. We can take a
break for a minute or two. Our first public hearing of the evening is
scheduled to begin in a minute or two. Do I hear a motion to go into the
public hearing section of the meeting?
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilman Lizewski, it was
RESOLVED that a recess by called at this time, 8:00 P.M. , for the
purpose of holding public hearings.
MEETING RECONVENED AT 8:30 P.M.
V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: You'll notice from your agenda, that you have
before you, over fifty resolutions of which some twenty-nine were prepared
before tonight's meeting. We also had numerous items for discussion. The
last page of the agenda is the Work Session order on which we took up that
322 MAY 31 , .1994
business during the day. We will not be discussing tonight the items that
were on for discussion during the day. Rather we're proceed directly to
the resolutions of which a number did come out of our discussion items
during the day. Before we launch into the resolutions, anyone here is
entitled to address the Board on any one of these resolutions, that are
before us tonight. Is there anyone who would like to make some comments
to the Board?
JOYCE GEIER HARROUN: My name is Joyce Harroun, Geier
Harroun that is, and I am here to object to the resolutions that the Board
issues a Negative Declaration on the proposed change of zone on the Geier
property. I'm here on behalf of my mother. She's the owner of the
property, and we do firmly object to any upzoning on the property. We
consider it to be arbitrary, and capricious, and I understand that you are
moving forward through the public hearing process, and that will continue
to keep our family in a state of uncertainty, which does not even allow us
to perhaps, if we could market our property and sell it to relieve ourselves
of the debt burden that we have right now. So, once again, we object to
any upzoning on this property.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you. Frank?
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin. Item 4 and 29, that looks like that's
the same thing on the Tree Committee.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: .That's two different amounts. When the money comes
in it has to be put in the bank. I'll give you the amount if you like.
FRANK CARLIN: It seems to me you're just wasting time adding two
things that you could make as one.
TOWN : CLERK TERRY: It happened at least a week, or a week and a half,
in between the times.
FRANK CARLIN: How. about 8 and 21, Nutrition? Seems to me there's
heavy turnover in the Nutrition Center with cooks, and so forth. Again,
one is resigning, and another is being appointed. It seems to come up quite
often. Why does that happen in that Center? What's going on? Is there
something wrong there?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: When a person resigns we have to fill the position.
We interview the people, and we select the person we think is the best.
FRANK CARLIN: That happens quite often. They don't seem to want to
stay there.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Mr. Carlin, on the cooks, just a couple of
weeks ago we did appoint an assistant cook,. and recently the head cook
resigned. He got another job. That's why cooks seemed to have come up
all of a sudden. We really had this cook for about three or four years.
FRANK CARLIN: It hasn't been coming up all of a sudden. I've been
looking. I read in the beginning of the year, and it's always usually on
there that somebody is usually resigning from there, and being replaced.
Seems to be a lot going on. I don't know what's going on there. Is there a
little bit of dissension in their, or what? This is for Judge Evans. Item
number 20, on appointing these people for mosquito control, does Southold
Town, we have to control that operation? What does that mean?
JUSTICE EVANS: I think for about the past ten years this resolution has
been passed, and the Town contributes money, so does the Conservancy,
and the County.
FRANK CARLIN: The County and the State, too?
JUSTICE EVANS: Not from the State.
FRANK CARLIN: You get the County?
JUSTICE EVANS: Yes, I think we get some from the County, too.
MAY 31 , 1'994 3 2 3
FRANK CARLIN: So, you get helped out from the County, too. That's
what I wanted to know. I wanted to know if the County helped you out on
Fishers Island.
JUSTICE EVANS: I'm not sure we're being helped out by the County. I
think so.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I'm almost certain that is true.
FRANK CARLIN: You not sure?
JUSTICE EVANS: I'm not sure, but I have been 'assured by another Town
-.- - Board member that it is pretty certainly true, that we are helped out by the
County, too.
FRANK CARLIN: Please look into it, because that might help us, you
know, if we can get some support from the County. We get it over here,
why can't we get it on Fishers Island?
JUSTICE EVANS: . I don't think we get much support here from them either.
FRANK CARLIN: Why should the taxpayers foot the whole thing on
Fishers Island, when we don't foot the whole thing .over here. The County
supports us over here, and sprays our areas, why shouldn't that be
sprayed over there?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you. Are there 'any other comments about
any other resolutions on our agenda for tonight? (No response. ) If not,
I'll turn to a member of the Board, who might like to launch in on the first
one.

SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: That completes our agenda of resolutions for
consideration for tonight. The Board has had a lot on it's plate. What
would you in the audience like to say to us tonight, limiting, I hope, .to
five minutes per person? Mr. Carlin?
FRANK CARLIN: Before I speak, can I just ask you a question on a
resolution, that I overlooked, before I make my main speech tonight?
Councilwoman Hussie, could you explain the procedure, you have in the
Landfill, when you go and inspect people bringing in garbage, when you
inspect their garbage in the the yellow bags? What is your procedure? Isn't
it, if you find someone that's bringing in garbage in the yellow bags
illegally, not putting the proper garbage in the yellow bags, they're trying
to sneak it the dump, and they're caught? Isn't the first time a warning?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: It is a warning.
FRANK CARLIN: It is a warning? How about the second time?
343
MAY 31, 1994
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: It could be a warning depending on, or it -could
be a citation.
FRANK CARLIN: A citation. So if you catch somebody, say you're
walking in the landfill, and they had the little bag illegal, and he throws
it in the wrong bin, or someplace, it's a warning then, right, if he catches
him?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Mr. Carlin, .are you talking about people. .
FRANK CARLIN: " I'm talking about Resolution #11 about Mr. Finno
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: That's a little bit different than an ordinary
citizen coming in. Mr. Finno is an employee, and Mr. Finno had also
mentioned—this was brought to his attention before, that this was not to be
allowed by letter in October. We have documentation on this.
FRANK CARLIN: This was a violation.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Mr. Carlin, I prefer not to. .
FRANK CARLIN: All right, I don't want to go into it any further. 1
might speak to you on it in private.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: That's just fine. We'd be pleased to hear from you.
FRANK CARLIN: I regret that, I couldn't make the last two Board
meetings. My name is Frank Carlin, Carlin Watchdog Group. I regret
that I couldn't make the last two Board meetings. I happened in. Florida, in
Miami, Florida, on business. I don't see any Board frowning about that.
But I did review the May 3rd Board meeting on video. I was overwhelmed
on towards the end, how you decided to vote on that formula food
restaurant. It was amazing, how under pressure you couldn't quite make up
your minds, and remind me of a football team in the huddle trying to decide
on the next play, and finally after counting it off, I presume, and I read,
that you voted on it. I was surprised that Judge Evans voted negative on
it, and then two weeks later, came back and voted for it.
JUSTICE EVANS: We didn't have a vote on May 3rd.
FRANK CARLIN: Well, you had to vote one way it was a tie vote, three
and three. Didn't you have a vote when it was a tie vote?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: No. If it was a three to three vote, it would have
lost. We did not take a vote.
FRANK CARLIN: What did I see in the paper it was three and three?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: You can't just believe, you'll have to be here,
Frank, because sometimes in the paper things get twisted around.
FRANK CARLIN: Okay. I couldn't believe why you took so long to make
that decision, either you were going to vote on it, or you wasn't going to
vote on it. I mean it's the same. thing that was written here for two
months. Nothing's been changed in it, and I'm very surprised that Mr.
Wickham a week ago Saturday on the demonstration in Mattituck, that he
happened to be riding by in his car, and he stopped, and he gets out, and
takes a sign, and he demonstrates with the group. I was very surprised at
that. To me it wasn't in the proper taste for a Supervisor to be
demonstrating .with the group like that for Burger King. But, I tell you,
you're happy that it passed. Fine. But, it's only an amendment to the
Zoning Code. When the next Board comes in here, and maybe if they're a
little more reasonable, you know it would be changed again, and I'm also
surprised at Councilwoman Oliva, when she said in the newspaper. .
COUNCILWOMAN OLVIA: Watch it with the newspaper, Frank.
FRANK CARLIN: Well, you blame them. Don't blame me. That Burger
King should be non-conforming, so that if fifty percent of the property is
damaged by fire, or whatever, it can never be rebuilt again. Now, I think
I'm right on that.
344 MAY 31, 1994
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Now that Burger King has been put into the
general business district, it is now a non-conforming use in the business
district, which means that they can not add to the building. They can not
put a drive-through, or a playground. They can only have the building
such as it is, and according to the law on non-conforming use, if, God
forbid, fifty percent - or more of that building is destroyed, it can not be
rebuilt.
FRANK CARLIN: Who's rule is that, yours?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: State law.
FRANK CARLIN: State law? That mean any building in that configuration
in this town fits in that category?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: No, only if it is a non-conforming use, and that is
why the previous Board, while we may not agree with some of the zoning, it
did, tried to do away with most of the non-conforming uses for that reason.
For instance, the little gas station in Orient was a non-conforming use.
Well, it is the only gas station out that way, so they put it into a
business zone, so it would not be a non-conforming use any longer.
ol FRANK CARLIN: Why should a Burger King be a non-conforming use?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Because at this point this Board wants to have the
Burger Kings, if with certain conditions, to be in the Hamlet Business
zones, or in shopping centers, not in the general Business zone as a whole.
FRANK CARLIN: If you start something like that, you have -to be
careful, too, like you say, closing the insurance company, says, supposing
the Town Hall happened to burn .down, and that, and the insurance company -
ever comes along, and says, well, we're not going to replace it, if it's
more than fifty percent damaged. Would you like it? No, you wouldn't like
it. I've got one more item for Councilwoman Hussie. I'm only going to do
three tonight. Your Southold electrical .power company, forget about it. we
went through that in 1985. 1 campaigned against it, and I'll campaign
against it again. It. will be a disaster for Southold to have a utility
company. Forget it. People voted down a referendum in '85. Forget it. We
can't support what we got now. It took four years to make a decision on a
formula food restaurant keep them out, or try to keep them out. We've got a
lot to be desired on our garbage system, so forget it. As far as twenty four
million dollars would go to stock us up with power lines, and transformers,
fine. But you're not including all your machinery, your cherry pickers,
and how about your labor? These linemen don't work for $10.00 an hour,
working with 13,000 volts. They work for good money. It would be a
disaster for Southold. Forget about it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you, Frank. Is there anyone else in the
audience, who would like to address the Town Board on any subject of their
choosing? Anything on Fishers Island tonight?
LESLIE LOSS: Leslie Goss, Civic Association of Fishers Island. I will
be forwarding through Louisa a list of priorities for our Board, that we've
been hashing out since our last mid- winter priorities. On that list will
be something pertaining to the metal dump, and we did a little resolution,
and I'd just like to read it. It will only take a second. Whereas Fishers
Island Metal Dump has been used for over a half a century for household,
municipal, and Federal metal waste. Whereas, no one is absolutely certain
what is in the Metal Dump. Whereas the residents of the community have
repeatedly asked the Town to clean up the Metal Dump, and has had
reassurances from the Town, that the site would be cleaned up. Whereas the
environment of Fishers Island is fragile and pristine. Whereas there exists
for services received for taxes paid to the town. Whereas no guarantees can
be made to the Fishers Island community; that there will be no environmental
consequences if the site is not fully excavated.. Therefore, be it resolved
that the Board of Directors of the Fishers Island Civil Association on
Saturday, May 28, 1994, adopted policy for pollution potential at the Metal
Dump site, and urges the Town to fully excavate' the Metal Dump. Thank
you.
MAY 31 , 1994 345
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you, Leslie. Any other comments from
anyone else here tonight? (No response. ) If not, I'll turn to the Board.
Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'd just like to remind the people present, and
actually more directed at channel 27. 1 don't see too many children
present, but we are having a Youth Activities Exposition on June 4th at
the Southold -Town Rec Center on Peconic Lane, which starts at 10:00
o'clock and runs till 2:00. There are, at present, over forty activities,
that are going to be displaying what they do, and signing up people, and
there will be demonstrations including dancing, there will be a dance group,
some tae kwon do, remote control cars, skateboarding`,:' a whole, variety
of different things, that I think would be interesting to see. So; for those
of you who have been looking for something for your children to do, or if
you're a young adult, and you're interested in finding something to do,
come to the Exposition.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you, Joe. Joe has been spearheading the
Youth Expo on behalf of all of us on the Board as an effort to show to the
public all of the different youth activities, that are going on in town, and
how each of us can participate, and support them, and how they in turn
contribute to the whole in the town. Louisa? Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Just looking forward to going to the Youth Expo?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Alice? I'd like to just comment. We did have a
ceremonial signing today of a two year labor contract with the Civil Service
Employees Association. That's the union that represents the Civil Service
employees in the town. It's a contract that calls for a 3% increase in
salaries this year, and a 4% increase next year. I think it's a prudent,
responsible contract. The employees in Town Hall, that' work for.the Town,
are a very important part of the Town machine of the Town government, and
I think it's a fair contract, and one that will be in the Town's long term
interests. With that, I'm open to a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 9:25
P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva,
Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Supervisor Wickham.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
