Vote of Board: Ayes: ALL On motion made by Trustee Bredemeyer seconded .by .Trustee Cochran and carried to recess for five minutes. Meeting resumed at 8 :20 P.M. The following letter was submitted by the Town Attorney, at the request of the Town Trustees to determine their jurisdiction in Hallocks Bay along the waters bordering the State Park Property. Dear Henry: In your letter of April 5 , 1984 you requested that I advise the Board of Trustees as to their jurisdiction in Hallocks Bay along the waters bordering the State Park property. Under the Andros Patent, the Town of Southold was granted title to all creeks and inland waterways in the Town of Southold. This, in my opinion, would include Hallocks Bay. However, I believe that the State of New York when .it acquired the State Park property by condemnation may have also acquired title to some of the under- water lands adjacent to the park property. The only way that this can be definitely determined is to have a title search conducted to ascettain the extent of the State acquisition many years ago. If you wish such a title search conducted, please advise me and I will have a title company do the search at the expense of the Trustees. Yours very truly, Robert W. Tasker Page 6. Board of Trustees April 26, 1984 There was discussion held on the aforementioned letter. Mrs. Ruth Oliva stated that she has a copy of the Deed for = the Orient State Park. Trustee Smith suggested that :if Mrs. Oliva could give the copy, to the. secretary----of the---bo§r.�d,.' it'.could be forwarded to the Town Attorney for his interpertation, to make some determination on what the State Park is claiming. The Trustees could proceed from there. A letter will be forwarded to the Town Board requesting to meet with them, to discuss several items including: The . Scallop Bag, Request for funds, for the purpose of having a, title: search con- ducted to ascertain the extent of the State acquisition, of State Park Property, in Hallocks Bay, Councilman Stoutenburg' s request for an estimate of the boat traffic in Brushes and Deep Hole Creeks, and the proposed local law to authorize the Trustees to issue wetland permits. Trustee Smith spoke about the bulkhead, of Mr.. Israel, in Gull Pond. There is no permit. on file. for this structure. Trustee Smith stated that the Trustees have to do something about these violations. He thought, if it were possible, to have the persons property assessed, at his expense and find out what the fair market value is.nd the increase of square footage is part of the fine. There would have to be a charge for the illegal bulkhead also.. The trustees would have to check with the Town Attorney, in reference to this matter. The Trustees would like to request permission from the Town Board to set up a meeting with the Town Planner, in reference to the Bulkhead replacements. The following letter was received from Mr. Paul M. Berg. Dear Sirs : in speaking with neighbors and others .who .live on creeks in this town I find there are numerous complaints about commercial fisherman taking shellfish from their waterfront. Of - course this is perfectly legal at present. However, many of us would like to see a law passed that would like to see it necessary for those after shellfish to obtain permission from the property owner before their . license would give them permission to take the fish. Much in the same way that a deer hunter must obtain permission from a deer hunter must obtain permission fro m 'a landowner to hunt on his property. This law could be written so that it would only apply to shoreline within 100 yards of a dwelling. Please consider and thank you. Paul M. Berg Trustee Smith advised that a letter will be sent, to Mr. Berg ' advising him that anyone in the Town is permitted to take shellfish, with a shellfish permit in' Town Waters, from the high water mark out into the water. This is not private property. dry • Page 7.
