trails in Southold Town, which will enable a traveler to go from Mattituck hamlet
center to the extreme tip of Orient Point in safety and with the necessary amenities.
The trails will offer a safe trip by being off-road and off main roads whenever
possible, and will utilize existing paths, dirt tracks, secondary roads and roads with
wide shoulders wherever possible. Phase #1 consists of projects which have been
selected because they are readily achievable at low cost and are in some ways
prototypes for segments to follow. . The entire estimated cost for the five projects
of Phase #1 is $34,000. The committee. asked the Town Board to allocate the money
so they will be able to start the projects. It was determined the money will be
taken from the Parks & Playground fund, and a resolution (20) was placed on the
agenda to allocate the funds, and a budget modification to the General Fund (43)
to transfer the money to the proper part of the 1995 Budget.

efficiency and performance; (4) privatizat.ion of services, (5) budgeting - would
other municipal budgeting techniques help Southold, (6) elected v. appointed

Board agreed that the Committee on Local Taxes should begin work on most phases
of their proposed "blueprint".

Mr. Gold reported that the recently completed Management Analysis of the Southold
Town Police Department concluded. that management reports are required to identify
workload and to permit analysis of overtime needs. Mr. Gold further analyzed the
workload data, and the results, in his opinion, still supports 24 police officers, with
three-man squads in off-season, and four-man squads during peak season. Chief
Droskoski maintained, as he has in the past, that there must be a minimum of four-
man squads year round, taking on the Greenport Village territory has only increased
the burden which is a minimum with the four-man squad. He said that morale is
lower than it has ever been, and due to the shortage of police officers they are
merely responding to calls, not initiating new work.----Supervisor Wickham asked

SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: At this time if there is anybody in the audience,
who would like to address the Board on any of the resolutions, that we are
about to take up? We'd- be pleased to hear from you. Yes, sir, Mr. Carlin?
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin, Laurel. Item #2, what do you mean by
that 1/4o sales tax?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: There is a 1/4 of 1 o sales tax monies, that goes to
Suffolk County. Suffolk County, in turn, makes them available to the Town,
returns them to the Town fora specially designated projects. Landfill capping
is one of those projects.
FRANK CARLIN: Number 9, what road item? What kind of road item are
you talking about?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Asphalt and road surfacing materials.
FRANK CARLIN: Okay, number 12, medical consultant, what do you mean
by Medical Consultant? What is he going to do?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: The Town of Southold is engaged in efforts to get
all of our active Policeman back on the road. Sometimes we need to have
medical test conducted. That's what this item is for.
FRANK CARLIN: Oh, that's why you need a Medical Consultant. Item 21,
is that the same as number 22?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think they're different. They're entirely
different.
46 MAY 2, 1995.
FRANK CARLIN: What does it mean by that? What does that mean there,
Civil Service?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Number 21 refers to a bill that has been put up in
the New York State Assembly, and also, the New York State Senate, which
basically says, that Towns and Counties should be free to select from a
Civil Service list for eligibles for a given position from amongst the top
ten on that list, rather that just the top three. In the past, we've been
limited to just three. This • bills•• that's currently pending before the Senate
and the Assembly would liberalize the rules and allow towns to hire from
amongst the top ten.
FRANK CARLIN: But nothing is passed yet?
SUPERVISOR. WICKHAM: They,re looking to the towns and the counties for
endorsement before they enact it.
FRANK CARLIN: I've got one more. Number 35, taking over, if
necessary, the Greenport. Justice System. Have you discussed on how we'll
take that over, or what will happen here in case of. . for example, if a
traffic violation is stopped in Greenport by Southold Police Department,
will that fine in court wherever it goes to, will go to Southold, or will it
go to Greenport Village?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Under this proposal, everything would be handled
in Southold, and it would come to Southold. Is there anyone else who would
like to address the Board on any one of these forty-some resolutions before
us tonight? (No response.) If not, I think we're ready to start.

COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: This is another one of those last minute
resolutions, that came up before, but it's a step in the right direction. As
you may know, I follow the revenues and the expenditures of the Solid
Waste District very, very closely, and my calculations, at this time,
project a $340,000 to $360,00 surplus by the end of the year. This is, of
course, in support of my contention from October, 1993 when we first
started this bag program, that we would not lose money. In fact, we would
make money. It's also a credit to the innovativeness, and management of Jim
Bunchuck. This is one of the reasons, this fact that there would be a
surplus, that I objected in November to raising the 'cost of the over the
scale charge to 4-1/2 cents. The District didn't need the money. If the
quality or equity between the bag prices, and over-the-scale prices was a
factor, or a problem, then we should have 'lowered the bag prices, which I
proposed to this Board tonight. The Solid Waste Task Force would be
pleased to look at our landfill collection center operation, and make
recommendations to this Board to lower fees based ' on the total picture of
fiscal responsibility in, the Solid Waste District. I , think it's a good thing
to do, but we have to do more.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Regarding that, actually this is not an attempt
to reduce revenues. This is an attempt to increase revenues. Our cost was
so high for brush at the Landfill, that most of the carters were sending
it out of town, and it was determined that they had to pay $35.00 a ton for
out of town locations to take the brush. So, we're hoping that we can keep
that material, which we can use to ultimately turn into compost, within the
town. The DEC has allowed us to do that, and secondly, we did run a
deficit in the garbage waste district last fall. We may run a surplus this
year, but we are not trying to give back revenues at this point. We're
going to wait and see, because as say, we did not have a surplus last year,
Alice.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: We were down $12,000 because we paid some
other things, but the point that I want to make is, that we really should
look at all of the fees, and not just one here and there.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Alice, we are looking at all those fees. You didn't
contribute anything to this .discussion. You're. bringing it up now. If you
feel that, bring it up to the Board. Let us consider it. We'd be delighted
to take it into account. The reason I introduced this measure was, because
$70.00 that we're currently' charging was far"more ' than it's costing us to
deal with it. We're bringing it down, trying to put these fees in relation
to what it costs the Town. If you find fees, that you feel need to be
adjusted, bring them to the attention of the Board. Don't just make- a
political statement in the middle -of a meeting.
31 .- Moved by Supervisor Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva,

WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Southold 'is concerned about the

the electrical power provided by LILCO; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Southold, together 'with the other East End Towns of
East .Hampton, Southampton, Riverhead, and -Shelter Island, retained Entek
Research, Inc., to prepare a study on the feasibility of the five East End
Towns' establishment of a multi-Town community=Based municipal electric
utility provider as an alternative to LILCO; and
WHEREAS, one of the legal°,issues identified by the feasibility study dated
March 31, 1995, is whether the State legislation (Public Authorities Law,
Art. 5, Title 1-A) creating the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA)
pre-empts towns on Long Island from exercising the eminent domain powers
extended to the towns through other sections of law for the purposes of
providing community-based electric power; and
WHEREAS, the feasibility study points out, on page A-44 thereof, that
" It1he most direct and obvious solution to the LIPA pre-emption issue is
to persuade the New York legislature to adopt an amendment to the LIPA
Act which eliminates the pre-emption problem"; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Southold finds that through an
amendment of Public Authorities Law §1020-h, a clearer legal authority for
the exercise of municipal eminent domain powers could be provided, which
would better enable the Town to evaluate whether it should develop a plan
for the provision of community-based electric power; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town .Board of the Town of Southold hereby requests
and recommends to the Legislature of the State of New York that an act
amending Public Authorities Law 1020-h to add the following language be

Nothing in this title shall be construed as pre-empting, or otherwise
limiting, the rights of any municipality located in whole or in part in

facilities through eminent domain as set forth in subsection six of

SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I suggest we hold the rest. The hearings are
over. The resolutions have been taken up by the Board. We're at that point
in the meeting, where the Board is open to any comments, or discussions,
or observations, that members of the audience would like to make. Mr.
Swi skey?
WILLIAM SWISKEY: Yes, Supervisor Wickham, you mentioned before you
named the three names on the first resolution to hire Police Officers, that
you had four positions. What is the other position? Is it a superior
officers' position?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: The fourth position is a way to deal with our legal
requirements in attarcting three people.
WILLIAM SWISKEY: Yeah, but you created four positions.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: But we have no intention, at this time, of hiring
four people.
WILLIAM SWISKEY: You have no intention of hiring four people?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: At this time.
WILLIAM SWISKEY: Do you have intention of hiring any additional
Sergeants?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Not"at this time.
WILLIAM SWISKEY: I know there are several police officers presently on
the Town force, that are eligible for it, and it would be good moral, and
there were problems in the Greenport Police Department, believe me, but
you don't want to bring them to Southold. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you. Mr. Carlin?
FRANK CARLIN: Just a short one, Tom, just a question. On this study
of the Southold traffic, on the study of the traffic safety, and that, I
don't see it mentioned in here that you include the problem, or review the
problem with the traffic light by A&P Shopping Center, and the King
Kullen Shopping Center. That's very important. I don't see it mentioned
in the paper.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We have from time to time asked the State of New
York to review, the traffic conditions in front of those two supermarkets.
We've asked them to evaluate the need for it. A lot of people have
petitioned the State, and the Town, and if we get additional expressions of
interest we'll resume that, but the -,State is pretty rigorous in how they
handle it, and frankly, their tend0t),,Pyis not to put in traffic lights if
they can help it.
FRANK CARLIN: If they give you a hard time about putting a traffic light
by King Kullen, just tell them to go up a thousand feet up the road, and
take about four of them down from the nine, and put them up by King
Kullen, because you don't need nine up there by Cox's Lane, and Route
25.
7 2 MAY 2, 1995
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Mr. Siegmann?
ED SIECMANN: A month ago I came before this Board, because there was
one of your Council people, Joe Lizewski, who wrote a letter to the
newspaper, and he had some incorrect statements in that letter. I corrected
those statements at that . meeting, and I never heard a word from Mr.
Lizewski saying anything to 'me that night after I got done talking. In
fact, Joe Ristuccia spoke, too. He would be here tonight, but he's at the
wake for his father, so he can't be here. So, I'm talking for the two of us.
Lo and behold I didn't think, that I was going to pick up a newspaper a
month later, and find a'. repeat of the same thing of using Joe's name, and
my name in the newspaper, and making some incorrect statements again. So,
for the record I'd like to correct those statements, that were made in the
newspaper. This is what. it said, at the last Town Board meeting I finally
got a response to one of the many letters I put in your newspaper. The
response "'was from TaxPac duo of Ed Siegmann and Joe Ristuccia. It
was great to see them again. I have not seen them 'protecting the taxpayers
at our meetings for long time. They did not protest when the taxes for the
town went up to 8%. I'd like to make a correction, Joe. That meeting, that
public meeting on taxes ' was held on November the 10th. Both Joe
Ristuccia, and myself got up and spoke about the increase in taxes, and
you were not present. You were absent that day. Now, why you go to a
newspaper, and make this statement, that we weren't saying anything about
the Town taxes going up, but you weren't present at the meeting. It is one
of things that I'm opposing with what you're doing in the newspaper. I don't
care, you can write to the .newspaper a hundred times, but put the facts- in
the way they are. Don't tell the story the way you would like to tell it. In
fact, I'm wondering why you have such a grievance against TaxPac, when
if it wasn't for TaxPac 'starting about five years, taxes in this town were
going wacky. Teachers were getting 10o increases every year in our taxes.
Today if you see their down in the area of 30, or some of them are even
coming in where they're going to hold it to whatever the cost of living is
for the year. That wouldn't -have happened without some people finally being
heard, and complaining about the way taxes were going in this town. So,
why you should be beating the drum against TaxPac I don't quite
understand. If fact, you should be joining us in trying to hold the taxes
down in this town, and you wouldn't see so many for sale signs. You
continued, and you say they did not mind being left off the Tax Committee.
I explained very clearly why we were happy to left off the Tax Committee,
because the Tax Committee came in with the same statements, that we've
been making for five or six years, and at least nobody could point, and
say, see this is the ,old -TaxPac game again, because it was a different
group of people that was making that study. Why you should pick on that
one, I don't know. Then it says, I guess all is . faring well with TaxPac.
They probably endorse giving - away taxpayers' land with no taxes for the
life of YMCA. You're back to your crystal ball again, that you spoke about
a month before. You're looking in- the crystal ball, and guessing what
TaxPac's position would . be. Let me explain to you what the position would
be. Where they're asking to build that YMCA up on a piece of property that
was donated to the Town, and when, that piece of property was donated to
the Town, that tax revenue from that piece-of- property was. lost at that
time. It wouldn't be lost because the YMCA would be building there, and I
think the YMCA would solve a lot of the problems, that this town is having
with the kids in different school districts, and you hear them, you read
about them in the newspaper, -the problems that these people—that some of
these children are having, and if a YMCA could correct some of them I'd be
happy to see them build up on that piece of property, that we would lose
nothing on, because there's no taxes being paid on that property now. So;
Joe, do us a favor, if you want to talk to us about something, that you
think we're doing wrong, get your story straight before you go to the
newspaper. I don't go to the newspaper, and give them stories about you,
although I might not like some of the things that you're doing. So, please,
operate with us the way we operate with you. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI : Ed, the taxpayers paid for that land. That was
not donated. Taxpayers' money paid for that land on Peconic Lane. That was
not donated money. That came out of the pockets of the taxpayers of this
town. That was not a free gift.
ED SIECMANN: It was bought from the gentleman?
MAY 2, 1995 7 3.
COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: It was bought from the gentleman. It was
bought with Park and Recreation funds, but it was bought with people's
money. 1 • • •
ED SIEGMANN: Then I stand corrected; but, see this is where you should
correct us, and not in the newspaper.
JIM DINIZIO, JR. : This is the reason why I came here. I wish the
Village Board was still here, because the comments are really directed at
them. It's concerning the East-West Fire District, and the amount of money
that our town gives them. Currently, I'm a member of the Greenport Fire
Department. I live in Southold Town. - I have to put up with the votes that
have been in the Village that effect me. A lot of the land, that is in the
village is off the tax roll, and effects my school district. Certainly the
Geier property, if they so chose, they could take that off the tax rolls.
They effect me in almost every way of my life. I don't want to let them
effect me in this way. I don't know, if you're thinking of using that money
for other means is going to jeopardize my safety, I have no idea. I'm not an
expert in that, but I do know that this Board, or the previous Board,
signed a contract with them, and I believe that the money traditionally has
been spent on equipment. It's been set aside for equipment. As a member. .
ask Pete, we've been a member for twenty years. That money has always
gone for that, and to now; 'take that money to reduce Village taxpayers'
payment is not fair. I'm asking the Board, who represented the East-West
Fire District to protest that in some way. The,, good way may be to set up a
committee of people who live in the East-West Fire District, and I've got my
hand up. Just let me know when it is, because I want to see about that. I
would like for you though, if you could research I believe we raised the
tars for the vote in anticipation of the - pension fund. Okay? We raised
that, had our taxes raised, stating basically that we would help pay for it.
Therefore encouraging a vote, that I couldn't vote, but encouraging those
people to vote for that pension fund. Now, we're basically taken away from
us even more.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Jim, can I respond to that? Two weeks ago George
Capon here raised much the same question, and in response to that I spoke
to the Mayor, .and asked him what his plans were, and struck us as a kind
of an unfair use of the fund. His comment to me, and I've written a letter
to George along those lines, was that while it's true that. .l'm just
paraphrasing what the Mayor said. While it's true that we in the Village
would like to use that money for purposes other than just buying equipment.
We have no intention of using it to finance the awards program, so I don't
know, and I can't speak for them, but I think that statement will hold, that
they will not use it for the awards program.
JAMES DINIZIO, JR. : Tom, I really don't care what they use it for.
They're supposed to .use , it for trucks. They are supposed to use it for
equipment. That is traditionally where that money goes. What Dave is saying
to you is, that this will not pay the pension plan, but he certainly can buy
the carousel, and put up with that money. Then meanwhile we have problems
with equipment. They certainly didn't oppose when the Greenport Fire
Department went out, and "purchased a brand new ladder truck for, I
believe, over a half millions dollars, when they could have gotten a used
one.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I'll have further discussions with Greenport.
JAMES DINIZIO, JR. : Certainly, again, V volunteer for that committee,
Tom, and certainly I can find other volunteers, too. Thank you.
PETER HARRIS: My name 'is . Peter Harris, 212 Knapp Place, Greenport. At
the Village of Greenport's Work Session, 1 was the first person that
voiced my disapproval for the $157,000 East-West Fire District payment to
the Village of Greenport. As I looked over the Village's proposed budget
saw $85,000 and change earmarked for the service awards program. Having
read the newspaper the same day, the Mayor was taking $86,000 from the
East-West Fire District payment, which normally goes to the apparatus
replacement fund. It always traditionally gone to the apparatus replacement
fund, and I questioned the fact that you'.re taking. . first of all, the
residents of the Village of Greenport voted and passed a referendum
74 MAY 2, 1995
knowing full well that. their taxes were going.,up, I believe, around 2.5% to
cover the expense from the Village taxes point of view to cover their part
of the service awards, where the Town of Southold had already agreed and
had already taxed me, and the other people in the East-West Fire District,
and I said to him, I said, ,Q,avid, I'm being taxed twice. I said, I already
paid my share, now, you're taxing me again. He says, no, no, no, and I
said, well, I beg to differ with you. You're taking $50,000 out, and put it
in apparatus fund. You're taking you're 20%, which is part of contract. The
Village gets 200 of that money for managing our money. Okay? He said,
well, first of all you're wrong. It's not your money. He says, we are
providing a service. We can do with that money what we want, and I said,
well, I don't like the way you say, we can, as long as we provide adequate
fire protection we can do with that money what we want. I'm saying to
myself, I says, well, as a taxpayer I don't mind paying my fair share. I'm a
volunteer fireman, almost twenty-five years for Greenport Village, and
East-West Fire Protection District, but, and I was in favor of the service
awards program, but I'll be damned, if I want to have to carry the full
load, and I sincerely request that this Board check into the ramifications
of what the agreement for the East-West Fire Protection agreement with the
Village. I tried to explain to him. I said, Mr. Mayor and Board, the money
was always. .the Village of, Greenport I can not remember when the last time
the Village of Greenport taxpayers bought a piece of fire apparatus. Yes,
you allocate money to .run, the department, but it's. been the East-West Fire
Protection money, that's bought, and paid for all the fire apparatus that
they own today. So, for them to in turn take money from my tax dollars to
either pay for a service award, or to run the budget for the fire department
I don't think it's fair. Believe me, I'm a Greenporter, and I'm proud to
be a Greenporter. I'm proud ' to be a resident 'of Southold Town, but I
think I'm getting shortchanged in more ways than one. Thank you very
much.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We'll look into it. Mr. Flynn?
F.M. FLYNN: F. M. Flynn, again. I also am a resident of the East-West
Fire District, and if it is so, that my taxes are going exclusively, or at
least a portion of the fire taxes, are going exclusively to the village,
then I feel I'm being taxed without representation. As a matter of fact.
this entire question of the service awards is questionable. At the time, I
had no objection, 1 had no personal objection to the service awards per sec.
I knew that they were pretty common here on Long Island, however, I did
question him as to the way the cost was to be allocated. I thought it would
a reasonable allocation, if the costs were allocated for service based upon
demand, and I have checked, that out, and I was told by the Fire Chief,
George Penny presided at the time, that the ratio of calls was approximately
fifty-fifty. Now, at the time, in the Village's offices there was in the
Fire Chief's handwriting' 'a ' tabulation of the "calls, which indicated, and I
forget exactly, but somewhere less than fifty percent of the calls
originated from the East West Fire District. It would be easy for me to
check the exact statistics. That is something that should be investigated,
but it supports my other contention, that it would be reckless on the part
of this Board to divest itself of any portion of Southold's property to the
Village of Greenport, unless you have the firm commitment as to what the
property is to be used for. You can't convey that property with loose ends.
For all you know, for you to do that, any sort of a sanitary plant, or
anything else could be located there. To conclude, I quote a former admired
president, trust or verify. Thank you.
HOWARD MEINKE: It's late and hot, and I thought this was going to come
earlier. I would just like to try to get a couple of answers from the Board.
This relates to the program under the McDonald's situation. I was at the
Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, where they talked about Special
Exception, and I have admit that I didn't come away with really
understanding that was a direct, verifiable set of procedures, extensions,
approvals, and etc., so, I rather subscribe, with what little I know, to the
North Fork Environmental's contention, that the building permit is of
questionable validity, and something based on that action could be taken.
I'm interested in how you sort that out, because you may say, that court
procedures have been- lose, sloppy is not a nice word, but that's how it
looks to me, and that's how it's been done. Maybe you feel that it has to be
approve because based on what has happened in the past, we would be
embarrassed if we tried to fight this. That may be true. I don't know, but
MAY 2,, 1995 5
a further point is that if in fact, Cofam was some local person, that had
provoked your displeasure--at some time in the past, and had gotten a
Special Exception, and had let it lapse, and had a building permit of
questionable legality, and he did not have a franchise with deep pockets,
and you thought he was just another Joe, you could pull his building
permit, and beat him into the ground, I suspect. If that is the case, that
also applies to a lot of the discussion we've had here. You have to have
procedures. They have to be precise. They have to be adhered to, or you
can beat up this person, and you can not beat up this person, but my
question was about CoFam. In your opinion, are they or are they not, on
solid ground with what they're doing?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I'm reluctant to speak very definitely on this
question, because it's quite likely that no matter what the Board does,
there's likely to be litigation on one side, or the other, that we're going
to get involved in. I will say, that the procedures that have been used in
this were unclear, at least to- this Board, so we asked the Zoning Board to
clarify it's procedures. 'You apparently sat in on their meeting on that.
They've written us a note with it. The note, I guess, is helpful, but I have
to say, as one member , of this Board at -least, it still isn't abundantly
clear exactly the procedures that the Town takes in handling these things. I
will say, that the Town acted as near as I can tell in good faith, in every
one of the steps, and the actions, and the permits, and the denials, that
have been taken up until qqW, and I don't think that the question can be
raised, that we are applying the law in certain ways on certain people, and
beating up on other people, and using it in a discretionary sense, like
that. I think we've been scrupulously careful to apply it, even though I
grant you that it's not all together clear, and one of the things that
immerged out of today's discussion is the .need to bring out greater clarity,
but I think the Board has really been extremely careful, that we not apply
it in a deferential sense.
HOWARD MEINKE: Oh, I, was not making any accusations, that you were.
It was a statement that I thought you had the ability to do that, and a town
can't be allowed to have that ability to do that.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Joe, would you like to add to that?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I disagree with you a little bit. I thought that
the Zoning Board of Appeals' position was clearly stated today at our
meeting. I wasn't at the hearing, and I agree when I read the memo, it
wasn't immediately apparent, but after talking to Jim Dinizio, and then
reading the memo it was relatively clear. Basically I can get into it, but
you just said, we don't want to get into too much detail. Other than the
fact that, the ZBA felt that because of the length of time it takes to get
permits, and because of the fact that the Planning Board required a Special
Exception, before they start deliberation, and then the length of
deliberation often exceeds six months, and a year, or two years, it has been
the policy for them not to consider the Special Exception fully approved
until after all permits have been obtained, and that makes logical sense.
Maybe what isn't logical is why we specify six months in the Special
Exception, and the Planning Board asks for a Special Exception before they
start the process, but the fact is there is logic to what their procedure
is. Whether that has been uniformly applied—that was the other thing, that
aspect of the Special Exception seems to have been uniformly applied based
on what we received from the ZBA, and that's what we're trying to find out.
HOWARD MEINKE: If I could just say one more thing. Based on my
experience in other towns, and cities, in Connecticut, those types of
permits with time are considered very important, and it is incumbent upon
the building, the contractor, the architect, to come in for exception. I'm
not saying they can't get exceptions, and the Board shouldn't grant them,
but it's incumbent to ask. They, wherever I've been, are in wholesale
violations, if they do something, and the permit has lapsed whether it would
extended if someone went' in: on bended knee, hat in hand, and said, we
need an extension. They would get the extension, but they are deep yogurt
because they didn't.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: 4h'this instance they did ask, though.
76 MAY 2, 1995
HOWARD MEINKE: I guess they did. Nobody shows a paper trail at that
meeting, that would make a trail to show.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is there anyone else, who would like to address the
Board on any of these matters?
FRANK CARLIN: You know, I never seen a subject that's a record being
played, and played, and played, and played. I hope, in my opinion, it will
be settled. I hope in the' next two months, I hope, in my opinion, I'll be
having my big Mac.
DOROTHY NINTZEL: My name is Dorothy Nintzel. We have been
fighting it, and we don't want a big Mac, and that's why I'm here. So, if
you need a big Mac go to Riverhead. I think the people in this town overall,
except maybe for Mr. Carlin, .and a few others, don't want McDonald's and
things like that here, -and this is why we are picking up on these things,
that we feel were illegal,. and are not followed according to the Code of the
Town. This is why 'we' •are fighting so hard, because we don't another
Riverhead here. That's all I have to say.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I can only comment that the rules of the game, the
Zoning rules that the Town•,adopted would not permit a McDonald to come up
on that site now. The problem that we're in is that those rules were adopted
just a few *weeks after they came in and got a permit, and actually started
work on it. That's the difficulty that we're in. I think the majority of
this Board has already acted in changing those rules, but the timing was
just a little bit out of phase. Before Mr. Carlin is -there anyone else who
would like to address the Board on this is or any other matter?
FRANK CARLIN: You keep saying this subject that we don't want a
McDonald in this town, we didn't want a Burger King. That's never been
proven. It's never been proven that the 22,000 people in this town was
against having a fast food restaurant. There's a certain group that doesn't
want this fast food restaurant. So, let's put that to bed right now. In
fact, I'll leave you with one more thing, because I don't want to get into
this anymore. I'll leave you with one more thing. You know, I'll leave you
with two things. I'm sorry, I know everyone wants to go home, but I'll
leave you with two things. Three years ago, when we started originally with
McDonalds, when we had a public hearing here, environmental agency had
children marching up • and down the hall • here with signs saying, no
McDonalds. In my opinion, it shouldn't have been allowed in here by the
Town Board, to solicit in a public place. Secondly, the second one that's it
for me for tonight is, when they demonstrated in front of the Burger King
down there in Riverhead this last year, to and behold I stopped there,
and spoke to the manager, I said, I don't understand these people. Some of
them just came in here for a hamburger, and coffee, and they're out there
carrying the signs.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Mr. Carlin, I'd like to remind you, you've
characterize my position accurately two weeks ago, when you .said that I had
no problem with a McDonalds in Southold provided it's in an appropriately
zoned location, and I think the issue isn't whether we have a McDonalds or
not, it's a question of where will it be, and in connection with our zoning
districts.
FRANK CARLIN: It's in a proper zone. It's in a business zone. What more
do we need?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Since there no one else in the audience, who would
like to address the Board, are there any Board members who would like to
make a comment?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I just want to say one thing. You know,
quite frequently you've lobbied for various things on the Board. It's not
uncommon at all, and in the last two appointments this Board has made, first
the Zoning Board of Appeals, and now the Planning Board. There's been a
MAY 2, 1995 77
lot of lobbying going on and it's difficult when you have very good
candidates being lobbied for by people that have supported you in the past,
and generally agree with you; and they don't happen to be the candidate
that you're going to choose. Traditionally, you know, in politics - you
support those people, that have supported you, and so forth. Sometimes
that doesn't happen, and this is sort of an anonymous apology to people who
have called me, and written me lately about the appointments. All I can say
is, that the people they support are very, good and qualified, it's just
sometime you have to go with other people, and I hope the people out there
I'm talking to know that it's not an easy decision to make.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Any other comments? (No response.) Do I hear a
motion to adjourn?
Moved by Councilwoman liussie, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
